Re: How to removing manifest entry programatically?

29-Sep-09 2:04

The following manifest entry causes some problem in common controls like list control, edit box. etc (Vc++ appln).
Its getting added when i use some third party libraries.
How do i solve this problem?

// Determine the Processor Architecture:
#if defined _M_IX86
    #define PROCESSOR_ARCH "x86"
    #define CC_PROCESSOR_ARCH "x86"
#endif

// Common Controls
#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='" CC_PROCESSOR_ARCH "' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")

you can also use external manifests, so in the project settings the manifest will be changed.

is _M_IX86 defined?

What this #pragma will do?

KarstenK29-Sep-09 20:27

Re: How to removing manifest entry programatically?

29-Sep-09 20:27

the #pragma is a precompiler dirrecte which in this case will inject a manifest. To avoid it comment it out.

since #pragma is defined in thirdparty files, we cannot modify them.
May be we need to do it different way.
Is it possible to remove that #pragma by programatically? Or by some settings in our application?

I dont know Cry | :((

Maybe modiying the code or copying the interesting parts in a separate file.

#define _M_IX86 in the project settings or in the stdafx.h like "#define _M_IX86 1"

Can't you use the Microsoft manifest tool[^] to modify/remove the manifest? Another option is to call the SetWindowTheme Function[^] on the affected controls. Maybe call it on all child windows?

SetWindowTheme(m_YourControl.m_hWnd,L"",L"");

Although this seems more like a hack.

Hi,

I am very new to VC++ and I got to work in VC++. My requirement is to call dll from an exe and I need to pass some value to the dll. I need to use that value in the dll.

I am using LoadLibrary method to invoke the dll. But how to pass a value and how to use that value in the dll. Please help me.

for example:
LoadLibrary("test.dll", "display this text");

On load of dll (::OnInitDialog()): i want to display the message "dispay this text".

How could I do this. Please help me out in this.

Thanks in Advance,

You first need to read some basic document about, see, for instance [^].

if you have the Header and lib of the dll you can dynamicly link in the dll. Read this:

There's no such concept. DLLs contain exported functions. You first have to load one of those functions (via GetProcAddress()) and then pass arguments to it.

There are two ways:

1. Using registry: The path can be read from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MySQL AB\MySQL Server 5.1\Location

2. Using mysql database
use mysql;
select @@basedir;
