Search for "Shell Links" on MSDN, or for this interface: "IShellLink".
Sorry, I have no samples.
Hope this helps.

I am trying to reposition the Cursor inside of the Edit Box in a ComboBox in my Application. I've tried SetCaretPos, but it doesn't seem to affect the ComboBox Control.
What I'm doing is trying to get an autocompleting ComboBo that Set the Cursor to the Beginning of the Selected string that holds the completed text instead of the end. Right now when I auto complete the text the control scrolls to the end of the text and so you can no longer see what you are typing.

|
|
|
CEdit * pMyEdit = (CEdit *)m_myCombo.GetDlgItem(1001);
this will get the CEdit part of the combo box. you can do the SetCaretPos on that.

I've tried that or at least something simillar. I have the Edit Box subclassed. I put this code inside of the OnEditChange of my ComboBox
class and the Cursor never Budges from the end of the string.
CEdit* lpEdit = static_cast<cedit*>(GetDlgItem(1001));
lpEdit->SetCaretPos(CPoint(0,0));

How do you know that it is 1001?
|

i don't know, it just is...

There is a restore classview addin available in CP. That will explain you everything. See under addins section.
|
|
|
|

What is CP, and in what addins section?
|
|
|

CP stands for Code Project
And he pointed you to http://www.codeproject.com/macro/restoreclassviewaddin2.asp

It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time to say anything in it, because we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a very long time to say, and to listen to.

I would caution using that version and use http://www.codeproject.com/macro/restoreclassviewaddin.asp instead. I tried the new version and it totally messed up (lost) my class view. 
Also you must do this to save the classview before VC++ has crashed if it has already lost your classview their is no way to recover it.

I'm trying to call the DllMain funcion explicitly after the DLL is already loaded. I have an handle to the DLL but I have no idea how can I get the DLL function from it.
Thanx

Why do you need to do that? I think a simpler idea would be to export another function which does what you do in DllMain. You can call that explicitly and also from DllMain. You can export DllMain too but it will be nice to keep the sanctity of the function.

I need it for backward compatibility issue.

I am considering writing some of the classes for our project using C++ rather than VB in order to gain some speed benefits. 
Has anybody done this (successfully) ?
Does anybody have any examples I could peruse ?

Be very sure of whether the classes will give you performance benefits or not. It is not necessary that converting to C++ will give you some performance benefits. If the code is data-access code then don't even bother.
The ways to access VC++ code thru' VB is COM Automation. You need to create a COM component in VC++.

Yeah, it'd be funny if someone created a C++ component to use ADO
For 5 times the coding effort you get zero speed benefits and possibly buggy code.

I did it as a learning exercise. Why would anyone WANT to learn VB ? I am studiously avoiding it, because I regard it as a resume stain.

I am a Microsoft Certified VB programmer (Resume stain) even though I am primarily C++ programmer. But I fell in love with VB when I was preparing for the exams. I hold the opinion that most programmers opinions about VB are not correct.

I think it is a must for an ATL/COM programmer to learn VB.

Sadly, I have had to use it at times, and everything I have seen verifies my opinions. Goodness me, half the reason we have C# is because the VB name is beyond resurrection.

Then I guess I am a failure. Don't tell my boss, OK ?

I am a form believer in using the right tool for the right job. I believe that C++ is an overkill sometimes atleast for writing simple COM clients or database clients. What is the use of speding long development hours in testing and coding in C++ when you can write something in VB fast and it doesnot require as much debugging as your C++ app.

Someone said the following words in an article about ATL ActiveX programming (I don't remember who - probably Chris Sells)
"... this is a VB programmer's world and we are just visitors"

I think you're undervaluing my C++ skills.

He's entitled to his opinion.
I'm all for tools for the right job. VB seems good at creating a quick and dirty app to use a COM component, or test it. I prefer to test in place though, which sadly for me means VBScript in ASP. Roll on ASP.NET. C# is still annoying at times, but it canes VB.

I am really tired about checking the MSDN for MSChart component's usage. Could anyone give me some URLs or examples of simply usage of it? Thank you.;P
