Hi there,
How do I draw a rectangle around my CMainFrame derived class?
My SDI application has **multiple** mainframe derived class. When I switch between them, I want to draw a rectangle around the frame which is currently active.
Thankx very much

Although i couldnt draw a rectangle around the "frame", i could draw one around the client area, by the following code in the view's OnDraw:
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(rect);
pDC->Draw3dRect(rect, RGB(255, 0, 0), RGB(255, 0, 0));
But... fi I resize the window a few times, maximize minimize etc.. the effect is bizarre. Please help.. I think its also making my system sluggish. GDI Gurus!! Pls help

I haven't tested your code, but I suspect the 'bizarre' effect is that the rectangle is not being erased. Override the WM_ERASEBKGND message to clear your background.

Hello,
I am getting the strangest error. I have a VC++ application using VC++ 6.0. At one point in my application, if I press "Enter" the application just quits. If I press anything else of click the button to go on a next screen etc. .. it works fine. IF I press the "X" on top corner to quit, it asks me if I want to quit and quits normally. But if I press Enter on that screen it just suddenly terminates, completely blimps out!!
In Debugger, It goes into Wincore.cpp. For some reason ContinueModal() ends up returning "0" at the last minute. Until the point it calls it .. when I look at it in the Watch ContinueModal() is NonZero. But inside ContinueModal() looks like one of the pointers (WF_CONTINUEMODAL) is null.
I will really appreciate any help on insight into this. Thank you very much !
Sincerely,
Anjum Gupta.

If it is a dialog application, it might be the dialogs default OnOk() that causes this. If so, override it and remove the call to CDialog::OnOK().

Could anybody suggest a good ATL book? I've found a few, and they all have pretty widely ranging reviews on Amazon, so I thought I'd ask here
ATL COM Programmer's Reference, by R. Grimes (Wrox)
Creating Lightweight Components with ATL Book/CD Package, by J. Bates (Sams)
Professional ATL COM Programming, by R. Grimes (Wrox)
Developer's Workshop to COM & ATL 3.0 Book/CD Package, by A. Troelson (Wordware
Publishing Inc.)
I thought I'd qualify the question a little more -- I'd like to develop a few Office Add-ins using COM (and thus would quite like to stick with C++ rather than going with VB), and with the possibility of also doing one or two COM components for use in ASP applications. Finally, I'd also like to produce a data access layer for a desktop app that will store data in an MSDE database. The main MFC desktop app will retrieve data via. this COM component, and the Office add-ins will also interact with the DB via. the COM component.
I've touched ATL only briefly before, mainly as a result of the Programming Visual C++ book by Kruglinski et. al., and want something a little more in-depth.
Thanks,
Paul

Had the beginning one and it was too hard, so I imagine this one is completely not for beginners.

Inside ATL, by Sheperd and King (Microsoft Press) is a good book to start with.

hi all,
i want to know whether InstallShield able to setup ODBC DSN.
in my application , i connect to database with ODBC. so, i want to create a installer able to setup ODBC DSN for me.
i have no idea about InstallShield. pls give me some idea about this.
thanks,
jim

Yes, because system and user DSNs are simply registry settings. If it's a file DSN (not recommended for an installation of course) you could include it in the install, but I wouldn't do that personally.
Were you looking for a yes or no answer or details as to which registry settings as well?

Can someone introduce to me a Autocad compatible drawing class library? I came across one at www.vdraw.com, but unfortunately, it is a ActiveX component. I prefer a C++ library that use MFC.
Thank you.

Then you'd need to search the web for the Word file format, and hope that it is organised so you can cope with all the different versions easily.

I have added "myfile.exe" to the my project's resource. The ID for the file in the project is "IDR_FILE2". After that,I created a newly open file with CFile with the following code:
CFile newfile("c:\\test\\quest.exe",CFile::modeCreate|CFile::modeWrite);
Which ofcourse will create a blank "quest.exe" in the directory. But I want to copy "myfile.exe" in the project's resource in to the newly create file "quest.exe" Could you please tell me the exact code that do what i want?
Thanks in advance for your help

I guess you'd need to step over the file that is a resource, and write it's contents to the files. I could tell you how to do that with proper C++, but not with Microsoft's imitation classes.
