The latter.

It has .NET, but C++ is the only place you don't HAVE to use it.

There have always been books on more advanced topics, such as DirectX, data access, etc. Have you looked at Amazon ?

Do you think, that's necessary?? I'm using VC6 too and I hoped that I have no problems using it the next years!!!
What are the advanteges of VC8? What will it cost?? And will my program still work, when I change???
Strange - I hoped to leave the problems with Boreland when I changed to VC6

Standards conformance, for one

If it's not well written, you will need to make some changes. Either way, you will get warnings for unsafe string handling, but you can turn those off if you want.

Richter wrote a good book detailing OS stuff.
Petzold wrote a good book detailing UI stuff.
- You may already know everything in that one, though.

Can you give me the title of the book? Or the full name of the author?
Thanks.

Hi Ace,
Richter is one of my Favorites. I am constantly in his Programming Server Side Applications (ISBN 0-7356-0753-2). I also frequently use his other book (Programming Applications for Windows) also.
Also, John Robbins' Debugging Applications, ISBN0-7356-0886-5.

Heh, and here I thought giving a search term would be helpful, after all a google search of "gcc source" reveals the source of gcc as the very first result and I get voted a 1. I suppose in the future I should keep my mouth shut or just more explicitly encourage people to STFW.

 I didn't see your original post but I'm guessing you were too nice about it 
The real WTF is what is a "complier"? I wish my compiler would always comply.

Hello,
Moving through selected lines of a listCtrl from first to last is easy (GetFirstSelectedItemPosition - GetNextSelectedItem).
But does anyone know an easy way to move from the last selected line to the first??
Thanks, Gerhard
|

|

With the last item as the current one, I think you can use GetNextItem(-1, LVNI_SELECTED | LVNI_ABOVE) for this.
Why do you need this functionality?

Tried the following:
POSITION pos = listCtrl.GetFirstSelectedItemPosition();
if (pos) line = listCtrl.GetNextSelectedItem(pos);
while (line != -1)
{
lineprev = line;
line = listCtrl.GetNextSelectedItem(pos);
};
line = lineprev;
while (line != -1)
{
........
line = listCtrl.GetNextItem(-1, LVNI_SELECTED | LVNI_ABOVE);
};
But it doesn't work. Line is -1 after the first call of GetNextItem. But it's late here, maybe there's an obvious error
Thank's, Gerhard

Did you consider changing the -1 argument to some other value?

Was not able to do so last night. Today I tried:
line = listCtrl.GetNextItem(line, LVNI_SELECTED | LVNI_ABOVE);
and it works;)
Thank's for your help, Gerhard

If it worked the first time, wouldn't GetFirstSelectedItemPosition work again?

I think so, but I need a loop moving through all selected lines from the last to the first. I admit, my question was not exact enough
Thank's, Gerhard

not usin mfc - don't bug me about it, please.
what i'm doing so far is just popping a dialog with a pageno edit control and a custom control to draw the print preview in (and an ok/cancel toolbar).
Anybody done this before?
When the dialog comes up, I'm sizing the custom control to the full width and height of the printer's canvas (HDC, whatever).
I get the custom control's HDC and start drawing, but nothin shows up
I figure i'll add scrolling later, but i need to see full resolution, not stretchBlt'd...
Just curious if anybody else has been on this path and can think of anything obvious to check.
I guess my next steps will be to try just drawing a simple string on the thing.
Or sizing it to something that'll easily fit on the dialog and go from there.
Thanks in advance for any help 
...Steve

Been there done that got the code to prove it
Building a print preview dialog is not the easiest thing in the world to do. You have to take into account the size differences between a printers DC and a screen DC. Make good use of GetDeviceCaps() for any fonts and pens you might create. Just remember something 10x10 pixels may be visible on the screen, but to a printer it's about the size of a fullstop.

Heh No kidding - on my photo printer at 2880dpi it's pretty small

lol, the last printer I had was a dot-matrix 
I could really use one too at the moment. I'm going to have to pay attention to whatever we are using at work, I heard the cost of ink can be quite high these days :->

|

ok, but not showing up at ALL?
I'm using the printer canvas' width and height to size my custom control's window.
Should make for a huge window that you can only see the top left of.
But there's nothin.
The drawing code is being called, but nothin.
i haven't gotten round to what i said i was gonna, though.
that's what i'm tryin' next.
