Re: How can I capture a menu-item as a screenshot? AmarB7-Mar-02 3:22 AmarB 7-Mar-02 3:22  The latter - I have to capture in a recording session every icon of a menu. The next step is to put every icon into a bitmap stripe. Any ideas? Re: How can I capture a menu-item as a screenshot? Tomasz Sowinski7-Mar-02 3:24 Tomasz Sowinski 7-Mar-02 3:24  I'm bringing bad news, I'm afraid. The problem with menu icons displayed in popups is that they are implemented by owner-drawing the menus. This means that each application can do this in different fashion. There's no magic Get/SetMenuItemIcon API. Some apps don't even use menus at all - they just create windows looking like menus and are tracking the mouse to hilite the item cursor is hovering over.

I think I capture a whole screenshot from my menus´ hWnd and rather extract the icon when my menu is open. TIA! Re: How can I capture a menu-item as a screenshot? Roger Allen7-Mar-02 4:56 Roger Allen 7-Mar-02 4:56  As a possible of the wall solution for this (and I dont have any code to do this) you could try to hook system wide all WM_DRAWITEM looking for owner drawn menu's. After the correct procedures have been drawn you could then take a snap shot of the DC which should have an icon in it if the menu item has an icon. It would be a tough problem, but I think it can be done. Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 If I'm not breathing, I'm either dead or holding my breath. A fool jabbers, while a wise man listens.

The MSDN collection does not exist? -Dy7-Mar-02 0:57 -Dy 7-Mar-02 0:57  Hi all, I've just moved to a new machine to test some things with XP, I've installed VS6, and MSDN Jan 2002. But when I press F1 I get the error message "The MSDN collection does not exist. Please reinstall MSDN.". Fair enough I think, so I go to Tools | Options | Help System, but I get the same message and there's no help systems in the drop down boxes. Has anyone get any ideas how I can get my help system back?? Dylan Kenneally London,UK Re: The MSDN collection does not exist? Michael P Butler7-Mar-02 1:03 Michael P Butler 7-Mar-02 1:03  MSDN Jan 2002 doesn't support integration with VS6. You need to use October 2001. From Jan 2002 integration is only supported in VS.NET Michael Re: The MSDN collection does not exist? -Dy7-Mar-02 1:05 -Dy 7-Mar-02 1:05  Thanks very much Michael! Now where did I put that CD...

For example the latest Counter-Strike now supports voice (actually I think it's a Half-Life update) and you can test your microphone settings, etc... I've seen very similar functionality in other places as well such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking (a while ago). Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Jedidja Multiple CRecordView 6-Mar-02 23:44 6-Mar-02 23:44  Hi i have 2 tables. my first CRecordView table displays the first table information. I have one button control on the first Dialog(CRecordView). If i click the button i has to open one more dialog(which has combobox) and load the records from the second table. How i ll go for this? plz help me out. I am doing thru appwizard.. Thanks in advance Saro Re: Multiple CRecordView Mazdak7-Mar-02 0:06 Mazdak 7-Mar-02 0:06  You can create dialog in your resource tab(you don't need to have CRecordView for it,regular dialog box is enough),then in OnInitDialog() of that dialog you can read table2 and add the item to combobox. Have you got it or you need more? Mazy "So,so you think you can tell, Heaven from Hell, Blue skies from pain,... How I wish,how I wish you were here."

I've got a good example on how to build the application using simple dialog(I've found it on "MFC programming with Visual C++ Unleashed"), but I want to build a networked application(using WINSOCK connection; CAsyncSocket class) using SDI or MDI. The problem here are that I don't know whether the socket variable is belongs in the document or view class and how much of the application functionality belongs in which 2 classes. Please help Re: VC++: Derek Waters7-Mar-02 11:34 Derek Waters 7-Mar-02 11:34  Hi, Probably your best best here is to use a CFormView-derived class for your view. This acts pretty much exactly like a dialog, so you'll be able to easily move your example code over. As for Doc/View, I think the proper philosophy is that your persistent data (stuff that gets loaded and saved) goes in your document, and your view is the class that presents that data to the user. Thus, in MDI you can potentially have two views on the same document data. ------------------------ Derek Waters derek@lj-oz.com STL: returning const char* from a temp string 6-Mar-02 22:25 6-Mar-02 22:25  I have a function that has a return type of const char*, and the data inside the function is built up into a temporary std::string. I try returning "return temp.c_str();", but that doesnt seem to work the way it should. This is a simple problem, and I really dont want to allocate memory for a char* unless it is absolutely necessary, so is there a better way to handle this? Re: STL: returning const char* from a temp string Joaquín M López Muñoz6-Mar-02 22:52 Joaquín M López Muñoz 6-Mar-02 22:52  Data accessed via c_str() become sinvalid as soon as the temporary string goues out of scope. You need to maintain that string somewhere: declare it as a member of some object, or have it as a static variable in your .cpp file (this can pose problems is the string changes in every invokation.) Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo Re: STL: returning const char* from a temp string danwatt6-Mar-02 23:00 danwatt 6-Mar-02 23:00  Thats what I figured.... I wanted to avoid having memory overhead, but I guess I will stick with it. Re: STL: returning const char* from a temp string Tim Smith7-Mar-02 2:22 Tim Smith 7-Mar-02 2:22  If you want to avoid memory overhead, they why are you using std::string? Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk? Re: STL: returning const char* from a temp string Tomasz Sowinski7-Mar-02 2:31 Tomasz Sowinski 7-Mar-02 2:31  Hmmmm... So what's the memory overhead of std::string? Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com Re: STL: returning const char* from a temp string Le centriste7-Mar-02 3:54 Le centriste 7-Mar-02 3:54  could we see the body of the function? Maybe you could try something like: std::sting myfunc() { .... return std::string(somebuforwhatever); } Just a thought Michel If I am wrong or said something stupid, I apologize in advance Re: STL: returning const char* from a temp string Tomasz Sowinski7-Mar-02 4:01 Tomasz Sowinski 7-Mar-02 4:01  Returning std::string by value will cause one or two memory allocations for the contents of buffer - two if your compiler doesn't support so-called 'return value optimization'. Please note that this is not a problem, unless 'myfunc' is time-critical function. Don't fool yourself into thinking that you need to worry after one or two nanoseconds. Try to save cycles where it really matters. If you absolutely need to reduce the overhead, you may consider changing the function header to accept std::string reference instead. Instead of returning string, you'll be using operator= at the end of the function.

See Lets say I want to write ABC vertically .. according to your solution output would be A B C but what I want is thought all the characters would be appearing in different lines but give 90 degree clockwise shift to them , as if you are reading the screen from left edge . did you get this ??
