What is ur opinion on using extern inplace of friend keyword?

They are unrelated.

BTW: I would use an accessor methods (get/set) for exposing the variable.

I assume you mean disk space? If so use the IOCTL_DISK_GET_LENGTH_INFO control code with DeviceIoControl().

The documentation can be found here

Hope this helps,

Between my first answer and now, I've had a bit of a look for an answer for you.

First - click on my name to go to an article I wrote about detecting drives being added / removed. It may be helpful for you.

You've already been told about DEVICE_IO_CONTROL possible solution.

The only other function I've found is GetDiskFreeSpaceEx - which doesn't tell you the total size, just the free space.

But if free space is good enough information for you, it will be a lot easier to use.

Good luck,

Iain.

Thanks.

If I remember rightly there is on OLE/DB provider COM object available for MS SQL Server. It should be a matter of writing a COM client to talk to it. I guess OLE/DB is out of date these days but other than going LINQ I don't know what's replaced it.

Digging some more it seems ADO is the way to go. Alternatively I buy a copy of this[^] which will give us support for lots of different databases and is cross-platform, which would be useful for this particular project...

ADO wraps OLE DB to present a VB- and scripting-friendly interface. From C++ you may find that the OLE DB Consumer Templates are actually easier to use: you don't have to go through the Automation data types.

There's even a book[^].

Unfortunately not very many people seem to know about this, so you may find help difficult to come by.

Hi ,
I have to display some data in an edit box.
The buffer contains 10,13 characters in between.
So I am displaying as it is.
Suppose I have in my buff "red\r\nblue\r\ngreen",
the display must be

red
blue
green. like this.

But my edit box displaying it in a single line like "red\r\nblue\r\ngreen",

How can I do it?
Please help me.

You need to set the ES_MULTILINE style. It's one of the check boxes in the designer, or use the style in your CreateWindow call.

(If that still fails, try \r\n, but it should work).

Hi,
Yeah if I define as multiline it is working.
But it is working only if I give manually like
SetWindowText("red\r\nblue\r\ngreen");

But if i get the data from external source via UART I am collecting in a buffer.
Buffer contains the chars 10,13 after each word.
Then I directly do SetWindowText(buffer);In that case it is displaying in a single line,
not in multilines.

So what should be done if I have to display the data in multilines whenever i come across 10,13 characters.

Please help!

Sunil Kumar

Replace 10 with \r and 13 with \n ?
