Re: Is it possible to have the .dll outside the system32?

I eventually used the SetDllDirectory ( )... much easier than LoadLibrary ( ).

this is how it looks like:

SetDllDirectory(L"../dlls/SDL-1.2.12/lib"); // No idea what the 'L' is for

It worked out fine so thanks everybody you for the suggestion..

Maximize + multiple monitors?

Hi!

A user maximizes the application on monitor #2 and then exits the program. When starting up again, trying to maximize the window using ShowWindow(SW_MAXIMIZE) maximizes the window on monitor #1, instead of the expected #2.

Is there any way to set the preferred/active monitor? Optimally, a subsequent call to ShowWindow(SW_MAXIMIZE) should then maximize the window on monitor #2.

Thanks and best regards

Yes, use GetWindowPlacement to record the window max/min state, size, and monitor when the app exits, store the returned struct as binary data in the registry (or elsewhere), and the use SetWindowPlacement when the app boots the next time. Don't forget to handle bizarre situations as when a user discards a monitor or changes screen resolution.

Secure Interprocess Communication

Has anyone implemented secure IPC? I need to implement something in native code, and I need some direction.

Is there a way to have my processes dynamically generate public/private key pairs and use that kind of encryption?

The CryptoAPI[^] tools have worked well for me. They're high level APIs
so relatively simple to use.

Are you using MFC or straight Win32 APIs?

The basic steps are:

1) respond to button press
2) load a new bitmap for the picture control
3) set the picture control's bitmap to the new bitmap

Which part are you having trouble with?

If you want to set picture to a control like Static you can use of SetBitmap that it gets a hbitmap for parameter and also use of LoadImage or CImage class for load image.

you said you made the variable with type CString. thats fine.
you also create one variable for that same text box as type CEdit from class wizard.
now, whereever you want to hide it,
call as follows.
variable.ShowWindow(FALSE);

or you can do like this also, but iam not sure
GetWindow(IDC_EDIT1)->ShowWindow(FALSE);
obviously, make it TRUE to Show it.
Good luck.

I think this can be done by right clicking the Edit box----properties--->select the "Visible"(checked).(in the Resourse View)

Or
u can do it using the same command as chandu told..
i.e., GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT)->ShowWindow(TRUE)
I thnk this command brings you the solution.

Thanks,,
saravana...

Chandu's answer is right. But don't use the code in the OnDraw () or OnPaint () messages, you will start a loop or update the window. Put it in a button, mouse click or something like that

Hi,
In a dll's ininstance , I am loading a dll with LoadLibrary & Setting the returned handle
as Application's resource handle, with AfxSetResourceHandle(Server side). Later, when a client request to the server, I check the resource handle of the application with AfxGetResourceHandle, it is 0. Can anyone tell why?

Accesing operator from parent class

Fernando A. Gomez F.26-Oct-07 18:03

Fernando A. Gomez F.

26-Oct-07 18:03

So let's say that I have something like:

class A
{
    public: virtual void foo() {...}
};

class B : public A
{
    public: virtual void foo() { A::foo(); ... }
};

In the overwritten method foo, I used the sentence A::foo in order to call the parent's version of this method. Now, let's say that rather than overwritting a method, I want to overwrite an operator overload. How would I call the parent's version? I mean:

class A
{
    public: A& operator= (const A& a) { ... }
};

class B : public A
{
    public: B& operator= (const B& b) { 
        // how do I do this? something like:
        // A::operator=(b);
        // ???
        ...
        }
};

Is it even possible?

Thanks in advance.
