If a friend of mein works on the same application like I do and in the end we want to bring all the program's parts together, what should we do.
For example we have a MDI and a dialog based application.We want the DIALOG BASED App to depend on MDI. What should we do and how should we work with dialog based classes and variables from MDI app ? Sleepy | :zzz:

hi victor ,

in ur case , in a source code file in the DIALOG based app , declare
those variables which u want to use from MDI app using extern keyword as a prefixx .

imagine that u want to use two variables of type double (dbl) and long (lng) from MDI app. (The same can be true for classes/objects also )

in a source file (int the Dialog app ) when u declare variable use the keyword

extern long lng;
extern double dbl;
( i am assuming that u fl and dbl is those variables u want to share )

Hope this helps.

And how should I add the dialog based project to the MDI,simply adding it as new resources? I've already tried that and I got a lot of errors because of the conflicts between the .res files (the MDi res file and the DIALOG based res file).

------ maybe I didn't understood it well. Is that what you wanted to say ?

Is there any possibility to link the 2 project into a solution using a dll or a lib file ? I remembered I'd read smth about it on a site but i can't remember exactly how to do it and if it's possible.

Use a program called Microsoft Visual SourceSafe or similar. This program, and others like it, upkeep a database of source files, and manages the locking/releasing of source files that are being edited by someone. For example, if you have a team of programmers working on the same project, then this is ultimately the best solution: when someone has checked in with a certain source file (checked in means that he/she is editing it), no other person can edit the source file simultaneously. If you need a free solution, the CVS Tree in SourceForge may be a valid approach. Haven't tested it myself, though.

As for the example you presented, did you know that the dialog app project of yours actually consists of a dialog class, the dialog template resource, and a small CWinApp-derived application class used to create and display the dialog ? If you wanted to use this dialog in another program, you would only need to move the dialog class and the resource file over. Naturally, before this moving can occur, you must make sure that the destination project has no duplicate IDs or class names. The easiest way is to take the dialog project as a reference, then create similar classes and dialog templates into the MDI app, create necessary handler functions, then copy/paste the actual code (contents of functions) from the old project to the new one. This ensures that although the IDs may change, the names that refer these IDs remain the same without a hassle.

writing an application that runs only as administrator

30-Jul-04 12:07

In my app I want to use the dialog based app toghethere with MDI. It is simply to much work to do to copy/paste all the cpp-s and header files from a project to another. I just want to build them together considering that they are different modules from a program and I want to pass parameters and functions between them.
Isn't there another posibility than the other 2 described by you? In the first case I think I complicate far to much for what i want to do. What about using dll-s and lib files. Cand you tell me something about them ?

This is a reply to a similar question that I copied from a forum:

This piece of code should be what you are looking for. Also, the article Searching for a SID in an Access Tokenin the Widows Base Services: Platform SDK on the MSDN Library Visual Studio 6.0 will help.

HANDLE hToken = NULL;
PTOKEN_GROUPS pGroupInfo = NULL;
DWORD dwSize = 0;
DWORD loop = 0;
PSID pSID = NULL;
BOOL bSidCheck = FALSE;
SID_IDENTIFIER_AUTHORITY SIDAuth = SECURITY_NT_AUTHORITY;
OpenProcessToken(GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_QUERY, &hToken);
GetTokenInformation(hToken, TokenGroups, NULL, 0, &dwSize);
pGroupInfo = (PTOKEN_GROUPS)new BYTE[dwSize];
GetTokenInformation(hToken, TokenGroups, pGroupInfo, dwSize, &dwSize);
/**** well-know SID *****/
//DOMAIN_ALIAS_RID_ADMINS
//DOMAIN_ALIAS_RID_USERS
//DOMAIN_ALIAS_RID_GUESTS
//DOMAIN_ALIAS_RID_POWER_USERS
//DOMAIN_ALIAS_RID_ACCOUNT_OPS

//DOMAIN_ALIAS_RID_PRINT_OPS
//DOMAIN_ALIAS_RID_BACKUP_OPS
//DOMAIN_ALIAS_RID_REPLICATOR
// Creating a SID for the BUILTIN\Administrators group. Could use others
AllocateAndInitializeSid(&SIDAuth, 2, SECURITY_BUILTIN_DOMAIN_RID, DOMAIN_ALIAS_RID_ADMINS,0, 0,0,0,0,0, &pSID);
for(loop = 0; loop < pGroupInfo->GroupCount; loop++)
{
// Check All Groups to see if a match to the ADMIN SID that was created if(EqualSid(pGroupInfo->Groups[loop].Sid, pSID))
{
bSidCheck = TRUE;
break;
}
}
delete [] pGroupInfo;
CloseHandle(hToken);
if (pSID)
{
FreeSid(pSID);
}
if (pGroupInfo)
{
GlobalFree(pGroupInfo);
}
if(bSidCheck)
{
//came back with a Match
}
else
{
//No Match
}

I try to get a notification when the user change the current selection in a CListCtrl.

It is possible to get one whith the NM_CLICK event (when the user clicks on it), but I don't know how to get the new selection when the user changes the current selection width the arrows ...

is there any message like TVN_SELCHANGED (for CTreeCtrl) ?

Thx.

Simply provide a handler for the LVN_ITEMCHANGED notification. The iItem member of the NM_LISTVIEW structure will be the number of the selected item. Or, you can just call GetNextItem(-1, LVNI_SELECTED).

You can hide controls via the

ShowWindow(SW_SHOW)

good luck.
