Which is best, BCGControlBar or Xtreme Toolkit? fhchina5-Sep-02 0:35 fhchina 5-Sep-02 0:35  Hi, Now I want to select a MFC extension library for my MFC application. Which is the best? BCGSoft's BCGControlBar or CodeJock's Xtreme Toolkit? It seems BCGControlBar has a good Skin Manager which most appeals me. And Xtreme Toolkit seems lack of this flexibility. Which provides more control? Which impact the legacy MFC code minimumly? Which is the most easy stuff to programming with it? There are some free/Open Source MFC GUI extensions, such as Prof-UI, especially GuiToolkit, but all of them seem inadequate for professional development Please give your advice. Best Regards, fhchina Re: Which is best, BCGControlBar or Xtreme Toolkit? Roger Allen5-Sep-02 2:15 Roger Allen 5-Sep-02 2:15  We use the xtreem toolkit here for some of our new stuff. It was pretty simple to add into the project(s) and update it. The only problem I have seen with this library is that between the most recent update/releases (as its still under development at CJ) is that they change some of the control parameters ranges that the library depends upon and don't tell you. This means that when you upgrade all your floating windows/toolbars stop working and you have to go into your code and renumber all the resource ID's into the correct range. Its a bit of a pain, but other than that, I have not had any real problems with the library. Its also cheap, with no royalties.

Re: Which is best, BCGControlBar or Xtreme Toolkit? fhchina5-Sep-02 6:01 fhchina 5-Sep-02 6:01  Hi, Thank you for your reply. I found it difficult to get an answer for such kind question. I hear another one think BCGControlBar is better. But the most feature I want not only for Visual Studio/Outlook/Office 2000/XP style, I also want to give `texture' for my application and make it look and feel outstanding! I have downloaded evaluation version of two toolkits. It seems Xtreme Toolkit has more samples but lack of documentation, while BCGControlBar is just opposite. About the price, of course Xtreme Toolkit is cheaper. Maybe because it lacks of Skin Manager . Rest Regards, fhchina Re: Which is best, BCGControlBar or Xtreme Toolkit? Alexandru Savescu5-Sep-02 23:13 Alexandru Savescu 5-Sep-02 23:13  I would advice you to use BCGControlBar. It is very easy to integrate it in the Visual C++ environment and porting application can be done without (many) headaches. About pricing, you get discounts for shareware and freeware applications.

I could do it all manually but I have a feeling something like this has already been tackled before. cheers Asim Hussain e: asim@jawache.net w: www.jawache.net Re: Saving contents of a View JHAKAS23-Mar-04 2:35 JHAKAS 23-Mar-04 2:35  Hello Asim I am in search for similar library. If you had found for your project then can you please send me the suggestion,code idea , library for saving the content on the view to JPEG. Thanking You.

The packer uses Zip compression (based on the zlib library), and so any packed files can easily be opened with WinZip, EnZip etc. However, I would like to give them better protection. Currently they can be password protected (and the password is encrypted), so people can open the zip file but not extract any of the contents. However, I was wondering if there was any way to make the Zip file unreadable to WinZip etc and only readable to my program. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Many thanks, KB Re: How to "disguise" (encrypt?) a (zip) file? Tomasz Sowinski4-Sep-02 23:55 Tomasz Sowinski 4-Sep-02 23:55  Create an unprotected .zip with dummy name containing all files and zip it again with a password. Users will be able to see one filename in protected .zip. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com ** Putt knot yore thrust inn spel chequers. ** Re: How to "disguise" (encrypt?) a (zip) file? Jon Hulatt5-Sep-02 1:03 Jon Hulatt 5-Sep-02 1:03  or, mangle the data as you write it to the file. very simple way would be to pick a random DWORD, and xor every 4 bytes with it. This should screw the thing up enough that winzip won't make head or tail of it. Then, as you read it, xor again with the same number to get back to where you started. STL is a religeon. Enquiries to Reverend Christian Graus Re: How to "disguise" (encrypt?) a (zip) file? kb5-Sep-02 2:14 kb 5-Sep-02 2:14  Thanks both for your replies - I think I may well try to change the way it writes, as Jon Hulatt suggests. This will obviously mean writing my own packer utility too (I was using WinZip to pack and then my own program only needed to unpack), but that shouldn't be too bad. Thanks again, KB Re: How to "disguise" (encrypt?) a (zip) file? Jon Hulatt5-Sep-02 2:36 Jon Hulatt 5-Sep-02 2:36  no need. pack with winzip, just write a quick program that opens your zip file and writes a new mangled one. STL is a religeon.

Font Type Nnamdi Onyeyiri4-Sep-02 23:46 Nnamdi Onyeyiri 4-Sep-02 23:46  How would i go about findoing out what type [truetype, opentype etc.] a font is?

Re: Font Type Tomasz Sowinski5-Sep-02 0:05 Tomasz Sowinski 5-Sep-02 0:05  EnumFontFamiliesEx gives you NEWTEXTMETRIC for each font. NEWTEXTMETRIC::ntmFlags has flags which may help you determine if font is OpenType or not.

Manikandan4-Sep-02 23:03 Manikandan 4-Sep-02 23:03  I tried EnableMenuItem to disable a menu. It's not working the menu always ramains enabled. Why Re: EnableMenuItem??? Tomasz Sowinski4-Sep-02 23:15 Tomasz Sowinski 4-Sep-02 23:15  I'm assuming you're using MFC. MFC calls EnableMenuItem for you - you need to provide ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handlers for menu items you want to enable/disable/check/uncheck. You don't need ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handlers for menu items which stay enabled all the time.

Eugene Pustovoyt4-Sep-02 23:24 Eugene Pustovoyt 4-Sep-02 23:24  Look In my MFC program, I'm trying to disable a menu item with EnableMenuItem(), but it doesn't have any effect on the menu. Why?

I couldn't find a style that could do it for, (there is that option with CListBox), so i did like : void CBy_City::OnNMClicklsccity(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult) { POSITION p = m_lscCity.GetFirstSelectedItemPosition(); int Select = m_lscCity.GetNextSelectedItem(p); m_lscCity.SetItemState(Select,~LVIS_SELECTED,~LVIS_SELECTED); } The last two arguments of SetItemState are obvisously wrong, but i don't know how to deny those constants... Thank you for your time rui Re: List-View Item States Tomasz Sowinski4-Sep-02 23:20 Tomasz Sowinski 4-Sep-02 23:20  One line: m_lstCity.SetItemState(-1, 0, LVIS_SELECTED); Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com ** Putt knot yore thrust inn spel chequers. ** Re: List-View Item States Anonymous4-Sep-02 23:24 Anonymous 4-Sep-02 23:24  Thank you Tomasz, It works, but it is still possible to see that that item was clecked, is there a way that it never happends? Thank you once more rui Re: List-View Item States Tomasz Sowinski4-Sep-02 23:27 Tomasz Sowinski 4-Sep-02 23:27  Use LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED instead of LVIS_SELECTED.
