Look up CString class members. There is one just for this purpose.

P.S. Learn to use MSDN. Its ALL in there.

Hope this helps,

How do I Get The App Path?

23-Oct-01 21:45

This might be a dumb question, but I have spent weeks trying to figure it out, so here goes. When I first start my MFC app, is there a way to get the applications path? That is, the path to where the application's exe file is? I need this information, so I can access the help file, text files, etc which are in the app path. I have tried MSDN, the web, 'hacking' existing functions, etc, but so far have had no success.

Use __argv[0] to get the complete filename of the .exe - __argv is the global variable. Then, perform a reverse search for '\' using CString::ReverseFind to cut the exe name from path.

This code I find on the PJ Naughter's site (http://www.naughter.com/)

CString CSpltestApp::GetHomeDirectory() const
{
  TCHAR sFilename[_MAX_PATH];
  TCHAR sDrive[_MAX_DRIVE];
  TCHAR sDir[_MAX_DIR];
  TCHAR sFname[_MAX_FNAME];
  TCHAR sExt[_MAX_EXT];
  GetModuleFileName(AfxGetInstanceHandle(), sFilename, _MAX_PATH);
  _tsplitpath(sFilename, sDrive, sDir, sFname, sExt);

  CString rVal(CString(sDrive) + CString(sDir));
  int nLen = rVal.GetLength();
  if (rVal.GetAt(nLen-1) != _T('\\'))
    rVal += _T("\\");

  return rVal;
}

I frequently use it, work perfectly!

How to limit a zone of scrolling of the View?

I have the class based from CScrollView! How to make so that scrolling it was carried out not in all window, but only in any part!
For example, I want to place not scrolled heading to the top of View! OMG | :OMG:

Capture WM_SCROLL and then don't pass the message on if the values fall outside the area you want.

The device context you're receiving in CYourView::OnDraw is prepared to draw using coordinates altered by current scrolling position. If you want top part of your view to remain top regardless of the scrolling, you have two options:

1) draw the top part not at the (0, 0) coords, but at the position returned by GetScrollPosition - this should be the top-left corner of visible area (I'm assuming that you're running in MM_TEXT mode).

2) use other device context for top part of the view in OnDraw - just declare a CClientDC. Draw at (0, 0).

Basically such it is possible! Whether it is possible to make the size scroll bar, only on height of a scrolled part! If yes that as! Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

So you want scrollbars to start not at the top of the window, but in lower part? In such case, simply create two views - one for the top part, without the scrolling and one derived from CScrollView for the bottom part. You can combine two views with CSplitterWnd or you can handle frame resizing yourself - in such case, the top part's size could remain fixed and user would be unable to resize it.

You may notice that if you are logged on, and are viewing messages posted by others that are logged on that there is now a 'This Helped!' link at the bottom right-hand side of the message.

It's a great way of saying 'thanks' and gives us the opportunity, should it be a success, of handing out some prizes to those who help others.

If someone answers one of your questions and is helpful, please do them a favour and click on that link. It opens up a small separate window so your viewing won't be interupted.

I'm pretty sure MS has an SDK for dealing with .BSC databases, but I've tried a few searches and can't find it now. Check around the MS Visual Studio site, maybe you'll have better luck than me.

Thanks this was very useful. Unfortunately, the SDK does not allow writing new information to the .bsc file, just reading a searching it (unless I'm missing something obvious). They supply a .dll that does all the reading, so the file format is still a mystery. What I need to do is create .bsc files.

Thanks, RZ

1. In the view GetParentFrame()->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);

2. I'm guessing in the view do the abvoe with SW_SHOW, or use the same technique to get a HWND to call SetWindowPos on.
