The best VML editor I am aware of is.... Office XP. When you save content as html, it adds vml along with mso to produce all vector content. From an outside app, Office automation looks shiny...

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunatly automation won't do in this case. There is a big chance that MS Office (or required version of it) will not be installed on the target machine. In addition I need much more advanced control over HOW the user edits the document than the automation can offer.
Thanks again.

I am not sure I understand. VML is a rendering format, which means you simply use Word/Excel/Powerpoint automation and edit your document with the standard object model, and only in the end save all that stuff as html+vml. Of course, doing so you don't directly edit VML tags, but for some apps this is more than enough already.

The thing here is that this is not just any VML document. The user is going to be creating a site plan (sort of the iteractive map) for the security system. As he creates it, he will be adding some predefined objects to it (such as buildings, hallways, rooms, doors etc.) and will have ability to add some misc graphics to it just to make it look pretty. I know how to write my own little graphics editor for that purpose. Also I figured that since there is thing like IWebBrowser control and MSHTML available, I could use it's editing capabilities and it's rederer (which, by the way, displays VML fine) to do the most of the work.
After looking in MSDN I was under the impression that I could extend the editor's capabilities by providing my own implementations of several interfaces ( IHTMLEditHost, IHTMLEditDesigner and IHTMLElementBehaviour, is there anything else(?)). Since Microsoft was not very clear on the purpose of those interfaces and none of the samples they had fully worked, I was wondering if going this way would get me where I want to be and if it would worth the effort.
Also you keep talking about automating the office application even after I mentioned that there is a good chance that the proper version of the office will not be installed on the client. Am I missing something here and I do not have to ship a copy of the Front Page with every installation?
Thanks for you help.

Hi all,
I'm trying to programmatically rename directories. Anyone know how to do this in MFC? I'm looking around, and I don't see an easy, quick, straight forward method. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I know I need to get the normal path and such, but how the heck do you rename it without axing the stuff in the directory?
Thanks!

All you should have to do is use ::MoveFileEx(OldFolderName, NewFolderName, 0). There's nothing built into MFC that I'm aware of to do this. This doesn't kill the contents of the folder. It would probably be safest to use absolute paths for each paramter. If something in the folder is in use, you can specify a flag for the 3rd param to wait until reboot.

If I am not mistaken then you should be able to get away with MoveFile, MoveFileEx or MoveFileWithProgress.
Good Luck.

Thanks Guys,
About 30 seconds after I posted this I found the MoveFile, MoveFileEx and good 'ole rename. works like a charm now 
thanks! Alot!!!
Wahoo!

The keys that get passed onto a control depend on the value the control returns in response to the WM_GETDLGCODE message.
Dialogs normally trap arrow keys and use them to control navigation amongst the controls in the dialog - if your control needs to respond to the arrow keys, it needs to return at least DLGC_WANTARROWS in response to WM_GETDLGCODE. (For more details, look up WM_GETDLGCODE in MSDN).

I've got a situation where I have 2 related programs - one obtains and saves data, the other reads the saved data and processes it further. (Both programs are standalones, and not network enabled.) Since some of the initial processing and some of the final processing can share the use of certain classes (such as data access and file manipulation), I want to set up the IDE project to contain both programs, but utilize the same source files for those areas that are common.
Help me wrap my brain around this, since one project is not creating a lib or dll that the other one uses, but both are dependent on the same subset of files. What is a good way to set this up in the IDE, and what are the problems with this approach?

We did the same here until recently with projects. All we did was add the files (as in Project->Add files) which are in the other projects directory into the other project. As long as the headres can be picked up easily enough.
You could also put the files into a shared directory which Tools->Options.directories can point to to pick them up properly. Then add the .h/.cpp files to both projects.

Thanks, Roger. I guess I am stumbling over whether I should keep the shared files separately from the others, or whether to have them reside with one project and be accessed by the other. When using SourceSafe, updates to either project should be seen be the other project, but then it would make sense to keep them in a separate, common folder.
Right now, one project is much further along, and the other is practically just starting. All the files from the first project are stored in a directory, and I want to avoid having 2 copies of each of the shared files, but I want all the files for the second project stored in its own directory too.
I guess the best solution is to have directory for unique project A files, directory for unique project B files, and directory for shared files, but all accessed within the IDE as belonging to both projects.

Just a suggestion. Would a static library project for the shared files be useful?

The static library idea would be a nice way to keep everything all tidy, it would just have to undergo constant revision as more and more files from the first project were determined to be needed by the second. That shouldn't be a problem, though, as that is what the whole IDE/project system is supposed to make easier.
Thanks,

How do you get the killfocus for a CButton. There is a ON_BN_KILLFOCUS but that never comes. In the class wizard there is no option for killfocus.

Just a guess, but according to the platform SDK, buttons must have the BS_NOTIFY style set if you want them to send BN_KILLFOCUS. Does your button have that style set?
"We are the knights who say Ni" (The Knights Who Say Ni)
|

You probably can't get the KillFocus message because it doesn't propagate up to the button's parent window. So you need to derive your own class from CButton and then you can add a message handler for WM_KILLFOCUS.

WM_KILLFOCUS doesn't propagate up, but the button does send BN_KILLFOCUS to its parent window (if its BS_NOTIFY style is set) - so handling the BN_KILLFOCUS notification in the parent should work.

Cool, so he just needs to handle the WM_NOTIFY message on the parent and check for BN_KILLFOCUS along with the proper ID for the button.
Thanks for the info.

I neded a feature where I want my Dialog application to be versioned (Like a timestamp) whenever I recompile my file. I am unaware of methods to do this . Please help

See __DATE__, __TIME__, __TIMESTAMP__ predefined macros in MSDN library

My program when first opened takes up about 1K of memory. Then When open some dialogs and documents etc. the usage goes up.
Closing all the children doesn't shrink the usage, though, at least not by anything significant. However, when I minimize and maximize, I'm back to 1k.
Is this pretty normal? Does windows just assume the memory is still associated with my task, until it gets freed during minimize? Or does this signify I'm leaking memory?
I'm running Win2000, if it matters.
Thanks
