Friends,

My question is related to the Add/Remove Programs dialog that can be opened from control panel of Microsoft Windows Operating Systems.

There are various enteries of curently installed programs there. These enteries are made by the installation program of particular appliation.

But from where this dialog box reads these enteries ??Actually i want to remove certain entry programatically. But i don't know from where to delete it. So that it cannot be shown in this dialog box. I can guess that this dialog reads these enteries from registry but i dunno where are they stored). Can any one tell me ?

Your uninstall program should remove these entries automatically when uninstalling.

Help me please!!! Deconvolution

use a memory DC draw on that dc and then transfer to main dc
a CMemDC class it available everywhere
in scroll handlers don't call invalidate call updatewindow

MailMonty is right, you should use a Memory DC to avoid blinkcing (and also override OnEraseBkGnd)
However, CDC::GetClipBox is useful to limit the redrawing.
First, if GetClipBox returns NULLREGION, no need to continue, no part of the window needs refresh. Next, the rectangle returned by the method represents the area to refresh, so you can limit the drawing to this area only.

Have a look to this article: http://www.codeproject.com/gdi/flickerfree.asp?target=CMemDC[^], it explains well how to avoid flickering with a memory DC.

In the article, don't care about the section "Modifying a MFC Active X Control to use CMemDC", just read the section "Modifying an MFC Application to use CMemDC" and follow the steps described in this section. Just try it.

Configuring remotely

Hi,

I have a module that performs configuration for a product. It uses access (via ADO) as its underlying db.

This module needs to start working remotely.

The most direct solution would be to access the remote database via a shared drive.

I am looking for alternatives (not excluding .net).

Any ideas?

You can connect to a remote machine if its name or ip address is known.
In this case you have to modify the connection string you used in local connection.

For examples see:

how to vary the size of the view using SDI formview?

i created an SDI using formview. i wish to use half of the formview for visualization purposes, and the other half for placing dialog controls. how do i change the view size?

To change the default size of a Form view or scroll view, you can call:

SetScaleToFitSize(CSize(cx, cy));

I normally do this in the OnSize() to make sure I get no scrollbars after re-positioning all the controls in the view.

thanx for replying. actually what i meant was how to set the visual view - white screen for drawing to half the window size so that i can place controls on the other half which is not on white blackground. D'Oh! | :doh:

Whether a is Socket alive question

Stan the man3-Dec-03 19:43

3-Dec-03 19:43

HI. I am new at socket but I have a question. Besides having alive or heartbeat msgs between the client and server, how else can the client for example know if the server is gone (say if a physical break in connection). Is there a call or something to almost like ping and make sure the other side on the socket I am using is OK?

Another question on similar lines. I I check to see if a socket connection is good every 5 sec. During that time, there is a physical break in connection and then reconnected before a check on the connection from the client etc. Will this mean that the connection is lost. A comparision is a telephone line versus something like a serial port. If a tel line is down, and you put it back, it is gone and you need to redial. If a serial port line is pulled out and then put back, it is still OK.

THanks!!

If you are using a CAsyncSocket then you can request a notification upon closure of a socket. If not, any read or write to a closed socket will indicate the same. Note that this is only a low level socket check to see if the TCP/IP stack on the remote computer is working - it doesnt tell you if the remote application is working, for which you'll need to implement your own 'ping' or timeout, if appropriate.

TCP will manage most of the temporary physical breaks in connections, and ensure that the connection remains valid - you dont need to worry about this. If it can't then the socket will be closed, which you can check for as above
