Hey all. I'm wondering if someone could point me to the correct method to use for getting user input through a messagebox? (IE, I want to display a box that says "Enter Password", and gives the user a field to type in a password and it returns that value). I thought that this could be done by doing something to the effect of sPassword = MessageBox(...);, but it isn't working. I've been through the list of methods for CWnd but still can't seem to find it.
Thanks!

You can't find it because AFAIK it does not exist. You need to create your own input dialog. Dialog boxes return a code to show which button was pressed.

How do I plot a simple graph like a*x^2+b*x+c=0 with Visual C++.Help me with some code or anyhting else

You use brute force; a series of for loops inside each other.

When asking a question, don't make the subject 'how do I' ? Everyone wants the answer to that question here, it's the rest of the question that matters. For example 'drawing a graph' is a subject that would attract the attention of people who can help you.
Basically, create a bitmap, loop over values for x, calculate y, and plot your pixels accordingly.

I saw a created, dynamic graph somewhat last year. The way it was done:
draw your graph field with rectangles and lines. (eg white rectangles and some gray reference lines., the axis were drawn seperatly)
put your values in a CPoint Array and draw these values with polyline I think.
Do some reading about drawing and you'll figure it out.
Hope it helps!

I want to use WIN32_FIND_DATA to try to find folders, on the system, that contain a certain string. How exactly would I do this. Source code would help

I tried that a long time ago. It didnt work. I even used the correct includes.

Well, I assure you it works. I have a half dozen programs that use this code, with some minor modifications of course.

sorry buddy but it doesnt seem to search for folders that "contain a certain string" and not only that it doesn't seem to go through sub folders. Also it doesnt find all the folders that contain the string. Just another thing to say it doesnt start from the top level directory, C:\ for instance. So dont go saying that yours works because it dont

It doesn't search for folders which contain part of a string, it recursively looks for folders which ARE a specified string starting from the current directory, which is what the original poster was looking for. I never said otherwise. It is your job to modify the source for your own use.
If you modify the "else if" section in "walk" to the following:
else if (!IsDots(findData.cFileName))
{
::SetCurrentDirectory(findData.cFileName);
TCHAR path[260];
::GetCurrentDirectory(sizeof(path) / sizeof(TCHAR), path);
_tprintf(_T("Changing to: %s\n"), path);
foundDir = Walk(pDirToFind, pFinalPath);
::SetCurrentDirectory(_T(".."));
}
Then add:
::SetCurrentDirectory(_T("\\"));
in main() just after the first if() section, it will search the entire drive, displaying the directories recursed, until it finds the directory MATCHING that from the command line.
If this doesn't work for you, you are compiling and/or running it incorrectly. You are also making no effort to determine why it isn't performing as you expected.

Heh, that would have almost been a good flame except you misspelled "genius".
My apologies for trying to help you. I will not make that mistake again.

Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
I think so Brain, but if we shaved our heads, we'd look like weasels!

I need to handle and override the event that works when user presses the close button on the upper right (on the left of minimize and maximize buttons)?
Thanks;)
|
|
|
|
|
That event is signaled via a WM_SYSCOMMAND notification message, with the wParam value set to SC_CLOSE.
Software Zen: delete this;
|
|
|
|
|
You could probably just handle the WM_CLOSE message and accomplish what you want.
|
|
|
|
|
Nope, it didn't work out
|
|
|
|
|
Then either I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish, or you went about it the wrong way.
If you could post a code snippet (the part that didn't work), or if you could explain exactly what you are wanting to accomplish, then either myself or someone else would surely be able to help you.
