Hi gurus,
I am about to develop a new project and confused on which type I should use. Since I will NOT handle any file (serialization), I don't need Doc/View support.
In the past, I have always used dialog-based, but I have read comments in this forum regarding "avoid dialog-based, and go with CFormView SDI instead". I don't remember the reasons (but maybe related to serialization support and menu/hotkeys).
Also, I see that disabling Doc/View support means I cannot choose CFormView as my base class for the main view. (And since the main window will have a lot of controls, I don't want to create/arrange them in run time). Should I still go with SDI? Why some people seem really dislike dialog-based approach?
Thanks in advance for any comments/pointers.

You can use Serialization support in Dialog based applications too. So Serialization is not is selection criteria. First decide what your application is all about, the User entries requirements, etc and then select SDI or Dialog based.

OK, then what are the selection criterias usually used by others for deciding between SDI vs. dialog based?
My app is an inventory management using database, which I think can be done either way. (CRecordView doesn't fit my need, so CView-derived class is not a plus here).

Hi,
You have a MainFrame than, there-in you have a Client-Area. In this Client-Area you put a ( or more than one, in MDI ) CChildWnd derived Class ( a derived CMDIChildWnd-derived for MDI ).
In this Frame you put a View. You can arrange all controls by programmation. But you can also create
a Dialog in the Ressouce-Manager and create a class from it, there you choose CFormView.
Then you accord the View with the Frame and ready ...
I also don't use Doc's. I also don't use DocTemplates. I create each Child dynamicaly.
Greetings

Are you saying that I can create several CFormView's with different layout, then choose one of them on runtime?

I have create a Universal-Frame, which can be loaded with a specific View.
I self i switch different Views in i subcontrol ( a Tab-Control )
UniChild *NewChild = new UniChild("Customers"); // thats the call to open the child
in the constructor i test the String an if it's f.ex. "Customers" i create the view like this :
CCreateContext CC;
CC.m_pCurrentFrame = this;
CC->m_pNewViewClass = RUNTIME_CLASS ( FKundensucheView );
Act_View = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST( CWnd, this->CreateView(&CC) );
But you can look here :

I use this method, it works and till now i don't have trouble

Locate the htmlfile subkey under HKCR in the registry. Then open HKCR\htmlfile\shell\open\command using APIs.
--Default string of command contains the default internet browsers.

Hi All,
I have a requirement for a program (service) to start as early as poosible during boot. I was looking for some references on "driver service" as mentioned in Services[^] and boot time services (start type of SERVICE_SYSTEM_START or SERVICE_BOOT_START.
In the case of SERVICE_BOOT_START, it appears a driver is required since it is started by IoInitSystem.
Should I be deeper in the DDK at this point? I found a very nice article by Tim Deveaux[^].

Exactly. SERVICE_BOOT_START is for Device Drivers. Instead, u should use SERVICE_SYSTEM_START. It gets started before logon.

Hi Don,
Last question then - does SERVICE_SYSTEM_START conform to userland Service requirements?

Looking at various Boot Services (for example, installed by Norton AntiVirus) using dumpbin, the answer is No.

Does anyone know Add/Remove programs interacts with the .Inf Files(which seem to follow a syntax similar to the Old .Ini Files)
I feel that these files speak an 'instalation language', interpreted by AddRemove Programs,Hardware Wizzards, Etc.
Does anyone know how this works, or, where to find out how it works.

Compare the hour value and use the bigger hour minus the smaller hour, let this be h. If both are the same hour, just subtract the minutes. Next, use the minutes from the "bigger" hour to minus the minutes from the "smaller" hour, let this be m. If the m is negative, subtract 1 from the h, and add 60 to m.

I am trying to program a Network Monitoring software using the C++ language for MS Windows and having trouble with monitoring the network activity in live. I want to display a messege box everytime a program is starting to listen for connection or starting to connect to another server. And also want to find out the IPs and ports (Local and Remote) involved in this activities. The think is a user should be able to allow or block the activity (just like the Norton and PC-Cillin do). 'IMPORTANT THINK IS I DO NOT WANT TO USE MFC AT ALL'
Thanks.
