Gosh, I don't normally get voted on! And to think I was trying to kill time productively while I
struggled to work out a problem of *mine*!

Some also confuse one or both of those words with a "mnemonic", which is the underlined character you get on dialog controls allowing you to focus or activate that control using the <ALT> key along with the key of the underlined character.
They (mnemonics) are also used on top-level Menus and Menu Items (although you do not need to use the <ALT> key when a menu or menubar is active).

Hi all,
I'd like a little help. I am writing a Setup program and have come up against the problem of installation over a network. The program currently works perfectly installing on Windows machines locally but I am trying to consider how a network admin might install across a network. Currently the setup would require individual installations on each machine due to the fact that local registries are set by the setup program.
I guess what I'm asking is, what is best? Do network admins usually install systems individually or is there a method of cascade installation which can be applied?
Many thanks

In windows this is the case. But there are tricks we sometimes use to do a full install of all applications then mirror the disk and use special software to make windows create a new uid for the machine. However this generally only works on very similar systems (same hardware).

Thanks for the feedback. My favourite kind of problem... A problem that's not a problem. Looks like I'm onto testing 
Cheers

One thing you can do to make it less work for network admins is to allow the media to be copied (not installed) to a server share and then installed individually from there to each pc instead of having to carry a cd around to 1000 computers. In some places (my hospital) we have computers without cds so allowing pcs to be installed in this way is essential.

Something like:
if (bFound)
{
if (it's a popup window)
SetForegroundWindow(handle to the popup window);
if (it's an icon)
ShowWindow(handle to the popup window, SW_RESTORE);
return FALSE;
}

thanks david, but firstly, Alok answer satisfied my plainly (with code), and secondly, your sample is not exactly what i need.
anyway, i apreciate.

Strange, as it has always worked for me. After you find that the mutex exists, indicating that the application is already running, it's simply a matter of restoring the window.

hum well, how do you get handle to the popup window ?

Use EnumWindows().

This is how I limit my apps to a single instance and activate the first instance if another is run.
HANDLE hm = CreateMutex(NULL, TRUE, "Mutex Name");<br />
DWORD dw = GetLastError();<br />
if(dw == ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS)<br />
{<br />
SetForegroundWindow(FindWindow("ClassName", "WindowName"));<br />
return(0);<br />
}
There are probably better ways but this is the simplest I know and has always worked just fine.

interesting code.
but what do ClassName and WindowName represent exactly in your above line code ?
<code>SetForegroundWindow(FindWindow("ClassName", "WindowName"));</code>
thanks in advance.

ClassName is the name of the type of class of the window you are looking for. Such as the name you used when you called RegisterClass.
WindowName is the name of the window you wish to find. This is the window title. Such as "The Code Project - Free Source Code and Tutorials - Internet Explorer".
Read the MSDN entry for FindWindow, that should explain it better than me.
Hope this is helpful.

hi codeprojecter,
it's me again... (and it's not the end  )
i asked this[^] for making a background from a bitmap "mosaïc-ed".
as i don't like cross posting, i dont post the entiere message but the link, but as i may i faster answers here...

If you can paint a bitmap once, it is pretty simple to do it multiple times, but with different corner
positions...
void PaintMosaic (CDC *pDC, CRect rc, CDC &m_DCPic, CSize m_PicSize)
{
CPoint pt;
GetClientRect (&rc);
for (ptOrigin.y = rc.top; ptOrigin.y < rc.bottom; ptOrigin.y += m_PicSize.cy)
{
for (ptOrigin.x = rc.left; ptOrigin.x < rc.right; ptOrigin.x += m_PicSize.cx)
{
pDC->BitBlt (ptOrigin.x,ptOrigin.y, m_PicSize.cx, m_PicSize.cy, &m_DCPic, 0,0, SRCCOPY);
}
}
}
I've not given you the bits for loading a bitmap, selecting it into a memory dc, etc, as you can
get those from the origina article you linked to.
Iain.

oh yes
as you say now, it becomes more clear in my mind...
in fact, i'm not familiar with such graphic stuff, that's why i was lost. but now, i would find my way.
thanks very much

what is endl?
what's the difference between endl and \n?
|
|
|
|
|
Hello,
endl also flushes the buffer, "\n" does not.
Blog[^]
|
|
|
|
|
so, which is better? or in which case, i should use endl and which i should use \n?
|
|
|
|

Thant depends on what you want. If you want that your output doesn't hang around in some buffer, use endl. If you can afford that your output doesn't become visible right away, use "\n".
Consider the following piece of code:
<br />
for( int i = 0; i < 1000; i++ )<br />
{<br />
std::cout << i << std::endl<br />
<< OtherOutput << std::endl;<br />
}<br />
std::cout << "Finished" << std::endl;<br />
The above code snippet is not very optimized. It has to wait for the ouput to flush all the data at every endl! So in this loop you take a great performance hit. The next code snippet is better:
for( int i = 0; i < 1000; i++ )
{
// some heavy calculation
std::cout << i << "\n"
<< OtherOutput << "\n";
}
std::cout << "Finished" << std::endl;
This code runs faster and it flushes the output buffer only when needed (when it's full) and when your calculation is finished.
Hope this helps
