Hello,

I'm having trouble with the MS Toolbar Editor provided with VS6.0 . I'm now working on a new release of an old program, and I need to delete some buttons on the toolbar.
The problem is, I can't delete the buttons in the Bitmap itself, because the toolbareditor prompts that the Bimap file needs to be adjusted.
Besides that, I can't delete the buttons in the toolbar editor either! I don't know why and it's been eating me up all day now...

Does anyone know a simple toobar editor which can EDIT toolbars?

Thanks in advance.

it's ok

you need left click on button that you want to remove and drag it away from IDE, the button tool bar will disappear.

To bad that you can't r-click on the toolbar...

Is there a use for enumerating registered windows messages?

I need to write a web query in C++ to obtain a stock price. The code will be used in an Excel Add-In. I can do this easily in VB using: QueryTables.Add( ... ), but cannot find a reference to a C++ implementation.

Any help appreciated.

Regards.

I can't use member variables in new files

I have created a new dialog-based Project using MFC. Then I added a few other .cpp-files from older projects to this new Project.
But now I have the problem that member variables from the files created by MFC are not avaiable in the old files i added myself, although I included all avaiable headers in these files.
When I try to use them, the error "C2065: 'm_member' not declared" occurs.

All Files (both old and new) have headers like this:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "ApplicationName.h"
#include "ApplicationNameDlg.h"
#include "DlgProxy.h"

Thank you for your help,
Ronin.

are you asking how to get an ip address from a host name? if so use the gethostbyname() function

carriage return in CFile::Write

I'm logging errors to a text file, and the text has the 'r\n\' escape characters in there, but it still keeps writing to one continuous line. How do I stop this?

If it's broken, I probably did it

Hi,
I just tried this

CString s = "First line\r\n";
CFile file("c:\\test.txt", CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite);
file.Write(s, s.GetLength());
s = "second line";
file.Write(s, s.GetLength());

and this is what I see in the text.txt file

First line<br />
second line

Do you see something I did differently?

yes, you're writing one line at a time, whereas I was writing the whole string at once. But since I wanted to keep the previous contents of the file, I specified CFile::modeNoTruncate as one of the flags, but whatever I write is still appended to the end of the line that was previously there.

If it's broken, I probably did it

The seek to end may be truncating the \r\n on the final line.

Try adding a \r\n pair to the beginning of your string.

Hi,
How about this?

CString s = "\r\none more line";
CFile file("c:\\test.txt", CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite | CFile::modeNoTruncate);
file.SeekToEnd();
file.Write(s, s.GetLength());

I hope this is a typo and you actually have '\r\n'....

How to shut down explorer.exe?

YES, that was a typo; I actually did have the right text down, even though I've made stupider mistakes before!!;)

I need to shut down explorer.exe programmatically. I think I can use PostThreadMessage but how do I retrieve the process ID for explorer.exe?

easy. have a look at msdn, topic "OpenProcess". there you will find the link "Taking a Snapshot and Viewing Processes" with an example of how to list all processes. execute this code, check if the exe file name is "explorer.exe" and so you will get all instances of the explorer. open it with OpenProcess and then close it by TerminateProcess.

Don't try it, just do it! Wink | ;-)

From MSDN:

The TerminateProcess function is used to unconditionally cause a process to exit. Use it only in extreme circumstances. The state of global data maintained by dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) may be compromised if TerminateProcess is used rather than ExitProcess.

MSDN suggests you should use ExitProcess instead of TerminateProcess...

ExitProcess() only exits the current process. To force another process to close, you have no choice but TerminateProcess().
