the GDI objects often occurs, when I forgen to destroy a font, or to select back some items to a DC.

Depends, if the GDI count climbs to a certain level, and then stays there, I wouldn't worry about it. If it keeps on climbing then you definitely have a GDI leak that you have to deal with or your app will eventually crash.

Uh huh. I will get right on it tomorrow. After some afterthought on my way home from the office, I think I know where the leak is.

I need to store function pointers with same return type and arguments, but from different classes, in a stl map, like this:
<br />
void(classA::*)(istringstream&)<br />
and
<br />
void(classB::*)(istringstream&)<br />
in the same map (in another class, classC).
is this possible? If so, how is it done?

Does anyone know what determines the LOGFONT values received by the EnumFontFamExProc callback function (for TrueType fonts). At least on my test system, it is not affected by current dpi settings. It's easy to calculate the point size for the values received but I do not appreciate any patterns. For example, some fonts have values that are related to 24 point and others to 12 point.
Are they values embedded in the *.ttf file?...perhaps related to a master glyph size?

is there a way to format the string?
when I have multiple lines of names like this:
abc defg
abcde fghij
i have been trying to make them line up vertically but couldn't.
Any advice is appreciated

Maybe try using tab characters (encoded in source using '\t')...
abc\tdefg
abcde\tfghij
You can set the tab width using the
BOOL SetTabStops( int nTabStops, LPINT rgTabStops );
function of CListBox. See MSDN for more.
Best regards,

_outp(0x64, 0xAD);
and
__asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al
do the same... but what do they do??

A quick fix would be to set the listbox control's font to a monospaced one. You may also want to consider using a CListCtrl.

I guess the title says it all:
If I have a resizable window, how can I make it refuse to resize (that is, the cursor can move but it doesn't change the window size) if a window woulde become too small? I know how to detect the last thing, but not how to stop resizing.

Handle WM_SIZING and check the lParam value. If the RECT gets too large or small, change it accordingly.

Handle the WM_GETMINMAXINFO message (CWnd::OnGetMinMaxInfo()).

Most books tell us how to work with an existing database using Visual C++. Using ODBC or ADO you must set not only database provider, but also a data source. But how can I create new database connecting to different database providers, for example MS SQL Server, MS Access or MySQL?

For MySQL:
m_pDB->Execute("CREATE DATABASE newDatabase;");
m_pDB->Execute("use newDatabase;");
// m_pDB is an CDaoDatabase connection

I have used the adox class found at http://www.codeproject.com/database/caaadoxclass.asp[^] to create access databases.

Hi again,
>I need to pass to CDaoDatabase::Open(lpszName,
> bExclusive , bReadOnly, lpszConnect) as lpszName
> and lpszConnect ?
You need connect to mysql server, and necessarily select an database. In this one case you can use the data base 'test' installed by default.
To connect use this (need mySQL ODBC 3.51 driver):
CString strConnect = _T("Driver={mySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};Server=MyRemoteHost;"
"Port=3306;Option=4;Database=MyDatabase;Uid=MyUsername;Pwd=MyPassword;");
m_pDB->Open(NULL,FALSE,FALSE, strConnect);

I'm trying to translate virtual key codes into strings. I've found that one can translate the virtual key code into a scan code, and then convert the scan code into a string using GetKeyNameText(). GetKeyNameText() works 90% of the time as I'd like. The other 10% confuses the user. For instance, Insert is translated into NUM 0 and Delete into NUM DECIMAL.
I can understand why as scan codes are the "ultimate truth". Since there may be more than one scan code per virtual key (there are two deletes on the keyboard since the AT-model), it has to choose one. I think it chooses the numeric key because of legacy (old XT-keyboards).
Anyway, does anyone know a good way to translate virtual keys into strings? Or do I have to do it manually? ( )
[edit]I think I could specialize the translation for all keys which have doubles. The doubles are those which resides both on the numeric keyboard and the alphanumeric keyboard.[/edit]
(I am going to use the strings in menus to highlight accelerators, if that explains my problem any clearer)

Not that it helps you any, but I think the problem is with your keyboard driver. According to MSDN the driver maintains a list of the key names, and GetKeyNameText gets the names from the driver.

On my machine (MS Internet Keyboard, Driver version 5.0.2183.1), Insert is "Insert" and Delete is "Delete". On the number pad, 0 is "Num 0" whether the Num Lock key is on or off, and the . is "Num Del".
I think you could do it manually for your keyboard, but then you will probably run into problems when your users use a different make and/or model of keyboard from what you are using.

Yeah, provided that I give it the correct scan code. I think the problems lies in that I am reading an accelerator table. In the accelerator table I have virtual key codes only. Since there may be n scan codes for every virtual key code, the keyboard driver/win32 kernel has to guess. I think it just picks an arbitrary scan code which matches the virtual key code. What else could it do?

I'm doing both sort of. For every key which there is a 1:1 mapping between "physical" key and "virtual" key, I use GetKeyNameText() on the scan code which MapVirtualKeyEx() gives me. It's smart enough to take my locale into consideration (I have an english version of XP, but it gives me swedish names as that is my locale/regional settings).
For other keys, such as Delete, Insert, et al, which there is an n:1 mapping, I am translating the virtual key code myself rather than the scan code. I think it's weird that the Win32 API doesn't offer (not that I can see anyway) a function to do this for me.
Oh well, the menus are rendering nicely now, without full help from Microsoft.

Just a suggestion, but are you accounting for the extended key bit (bit 24)?
0x01520001 => Insert (Extended key)
0x00520001 => Num 0 (Insert)

Ahh.. Yes, of course! I could add that bit for VK_INSERT, VK_DELETE et al. Thanks!
UINT nScanCode = MapVirtualKey(vk, 1);
switch(vk) {
case VK_INSERT:
case VK_DELETE:
...
nScanCode |= extended_bit;
break;
}
TCHAR buf[20] = { 0 };
GetKeyNameText(nScanCode << 16, buf, 19);That ought to work. I have to give it a try tomorrow.

hmmm...
I think I am clueing in onto what you are trying to do. Sounds very interesting. Do you have any plans to encapsulate it into a class and post it as a CP article? :hint: :hint:

The entire menu or just the part which grabs the accelerators and turns them into "text"? If it's the latter, sure, I could do that. The former is.. well, too much work than I have currently.

Sounds good to me. That way it could be incorporated into any already existing menu class. I look forward to seeing the article
