Hi Mike,

The code,

int i6[5][] = { {1,2,3,4,5}, {6,7,8,9,10}, {0,2,4,6,8} };

will not compile.

You should use,

int i6[][5] = { {1,2,3,4,5}, {6,7,8,9,10}, {0,2,4,6,8} };

or

int i6[3][5] = { {1,2,3,4,5}, {6,7,8,9,10}, {0,2,4,6,8} };

regards,
George

Hello,
I would like to read a file whose name is save as a string. To read this file, i use the command file.open(string,ios::in). But i have an error message: no matching function for call to `std::basic_fstream<char, std::char_traits<char=""> >::open(std::string&, const std::_Ios_Openmode&)'
Should i use another type to save the name of the file?
I would rather keep the command file.open().
Thank you very much
Guillaume

use string.c_str() function it will return LPCTSTR string associated with stored string!

i should use strin.c_str() instead of what? what is a LPCTSTR?
could you write it. Like:

string s1;<br />
getline(list,s1); // List is the file where i get the name of the file i have to read<br />
fstream fichier1;<br />
fichier1.open(s1,ios::in);

Thank you very much

LPCTSTR is an LPCWSTR in UNICODE builds and a LPCSTR otherwise.
A LPCSTR is a Long Pointer on a Constant STRing, a LPCWSTR a Long Pointer on a Constant Wide STRing.

I dont know much about STL format, however check VTK.
There should be an example showing how to use VTK with MFC.

View Style Changes when switching the compiler option _UNICODE to _MBCS [modified]

Hi,

i have a very old project without unicode support that i wanted to modernize a bit. Especially the user interface should get the new windows xp or vista control-style. But it doesn't works completly . The Dialog Controls don't wanted to switch to the new style. I tried everything i've found in the net but nothing works. Then i created a new project (mfc-application, dialog based) where i just open a about box to start some tests. The first result was:

The Button and the Icon are drawn in XP Style

Then i compared every option in the project settings and all include-files and #defines in the stdafx.h to my own project and changed one by one to find out whats wrong.

When i changed the character set from Unicode to Multi Byte i got this dialog box:

The Button and the Icon are drawn in Old Style

I really don't understand why this switch leads to this old window styles. But the bigger problem is: my own application is written completly for Multi Byte Character Set. And its a VERY Big Application. It will take days to convert it to Unicode and since there are things like text parsers included it will not be easy to be sure that everything runs fine after the conversion.

It would be nice if there is a way to get around this problem without switching to unicode.

Does someone know this problem and how to go around?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Florian

CreateProcess with write permission

Hi
I'm trying to let my application run another application and give it write permission. At the moment i'm using CreateProcess, but can't figure out how to grant the process write permissions..
Tried googling alot, but can't find too many examples.. =/

Can anyone help me..?
Thanks!

in a bit of a rush... so sorry if this isnt much help Frown | :(

i believe off the top of my head that it depends on how the process is created and under which user rights it is, to allow writing and general interaction.

you want to use
CreateProcessAsUser()[^]

and either get the user account logon or run under impersonation token.
that should fix your problem Smile | :)

html-help: expand all contents tabs

how to let all contents tabs of html-help expand when the htmp-file pops up by HtmpHelp(...) function?

it can be done in html-help design or c++ code.

I did see some apps with contents tabs expended when apps' html-help pop up.

thx.
