How about docking windows? Your users probably wont need all of the windows showing a once, so you could easily hide them.
If you do go with your original window idea, I'd say do it with in a MDI style, it will be less confusing for your users.

Docking windows are OK but they won't have a focus. MDI solution would require creating differnt templates for each view. Then when you create a new document framework would think a I have more than one document type and popup a dialog box with the list of types. 'Output Window' would show "Warning, Dialog creation failed". Beside this I want to have simple SDI application.
I've seen hundreds of SDI application where user could open from menu some windows. In some applications those windows are children of desktop in other they are children of the main window.

There is no need to create multiple templates for your purpose. You can actually use a document that is common to all the views, all you need to do is have a 'main' view (the one that gets used in the document template) and add extra views to the document from within it. This way you get full control in the main view, and have proper focus handling for all the windows.
I can send you a small demo, if you’re interested.

Fair enough.

Yea I've seen some, aren’t they all mostly 'docking' windows that have had there docking ability disabled?

Is there an option to tell the linker to look for functions in all libraries in the library path. It is a pain to have to specify each library I want to use when there are over 100.
|
|
|
|

Not that I'm aware of.
Its generally straightforward to sort out. Don't worry about
trying to guess which libs you need. After a while you'll learn
which libs you need. But if you don't know which libs you need
repeat the following procedure:-
1) Link as normal.
2) if no errors, then finished (duh!)
3) Look at the first link error. Identify the function name that
is not resolved. Look it up in MSDN. The entry in MSDN will tell you which lib you need (if its a COM object it may not, then you'll need to hunt around a bit).
3a) if the function name is not in MSDN check that it isn't a 3rd party lib you have forgotten to list.
4) Now relink. The reason for not worrying about the remaining errors is that many of them may be for the same lib as the first error.
5) Repeat from (3) until no errors. After a while you'll be able to realise which function come from which lib and you'll be able to do more functions/libs in stage 3 than I've suggested above.
None of that was rocket science, and it isn't really that hard.
Cheers

I am currently in the process of working out how to convert our source code so that it compiles using Visual C++ instead of the Borland command line tools. With the Borland command line tools there are the global variables _argc and _argv which contain the command line string split up into sections. These variables do not seem to be available in Visual C++. Can anybody give any suggestions on how to get around this problem. Is it best to setup an array of pointers back to the original command line string or is there a better way?
Thanks for any information you can provide.
Steve.

try __argv and __argc
there are 2 underscores, not 1

I have forgotten something stupid, mainly cause Id never do it.. two variables declared with same name but different scope
int something
{
int something
if refer to something here, which one used?
}
This will compile, won't it..?
Many, many thanks.

|

int something
{
int something
//This one will be used here
::something
//Refers to the other
}
|
|
|
|

Yes, but don't forget the :: op with no namespace spec looks for vars in the global namespace - vars can be hidden if declared at an intermediate scope:
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
int something(2);
{
int something(3);
cout << something << ::something << endl;
}
return 0;
}
This code won't compile until you uncomment the global decl for something.
The fn scope something is effectively hidden from code inside the local block.

I have created a dlg application. I have MyappDlg.cpp and .h module and Myapp.cpp and.h module. In the dlg part i just have the declarations and definitions of members and methods as button, editbox..., in the other part i have all the methods which the main aim is to do some calculations. So, as you could think i want to link the dlg part to the calculation part. So, in the dlg.h i just put the line:#include "MyApp.h"
So, i don't know if it's enough for doing the calculation in the dlg box. Is anybody could explain me the way of doing this job?
thanks in advance

If you have a dialog that needs to perform some specific calculations, it would make sense to include those functions in the dialog class. I don't know of any reason to keep them in the App class, but if so, then the line of code to #include the App class is generated for every cpp file by the class wizard automatically. To call its functions you would need to use AfxGetApp() for a pointer to the application object. hope that helps,
Jake

Can anyone give me some suggestions on how to replace window standard dialog view to an image.

Override OnEraseBackground and draw your image.

When I open a Dao recordset with more than one table ([MyTableOne] and [MyTableTwo], for example), the dataset is set read only and I can't update any records. I can't seem to find the answer to this one. All help appreciated!

I think the way the tables are joined and whether the db maintains referential integrity can have an impact on whether a join is updateable.
I know thats not a whole lotta help, but I do seem to recall from the dark and distant past that I was able to write to certain types of recordsets that were based on multiple tables.
Maybe MSDN article ID: Q175168 can give you some ideas.
|
|
|
|
|
Is true, When you open more than one table, the tables are read-Only This is for integrity.
You need to Write First one, and then the other one.
You Have FK for Integrity?
Because is Important, to poen in a order for the FK, because the database can refuse the insert....
Cheers!!!!

I have a doc/view program (sdi) and I want to be able to load and display bitmaps on the fly from .bmp files. I have an array of cells that the document keeps track of and I want the view to draw the correct bitmap who's filename will be stored in the cell object so that when OnDraw is called it looks up which bitmap it should be displaying and loads and displays it, opposed to having the bitmaps as resources. I have gathered that to load a specific bitmap you use the code...
HBITMAP hImage = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(NULL, "c:\\nick.bmp", IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE|LR_DEFAULTSIZE);
but I cannot work out how to display it because everything I blit to the screen is blank. I've checked and the bitmap is loading ok, just not displaying.
How do you do this?
Cheers for any help

An option I have used is using IPicture. It has a Render method that takes dc to draw the image onto. You can use gif, jpg, bmp, etc. Look in MSDN "How To Load and Display Graphics Files w/LOADPIC.EXE Q218972".
