Hi,
I have created a application with 3 views in a child view of mainframe.
Around the child view, a thick line has been drawn, how to remove it?
|

|
|
How did you create the child view and the 3 views inside it?
Please post some relevant code.
Is the line drawn around each of the 3 views or around the child view?

Hello guys.
I want to remove directory using RemoveDirectory("directory path"). I delete the directory using recursion.
The problem is, it's working fine in Win 7, but, in winXP it's not deleting the top-most directory:
In Win 7: RemoveDirectory("c:\MyFolder\Folder")--> it's deleting "Folder" including everything inside it.
In Win XP: RemoveDirectory("c:\MyFolder\Folder")--> "Folder" is not deleted, but all files and folders inside it are deleted.
The program is made in VS 2008 MFC, OS is Win 7.
Thanks!

Did you watch the return value of RemoveDirectory? Did you call GetLastError on zero? Might your top-level directory have a different protection?

Hi, I want to check that all fields of a dialog are completed correctly by the user and to flag any controls that need attention. The only way that I can see of doing this is to create a transparent read-only edit box next to the dialog control in error. Then if the control needs attention, I can write an asterisk character to the associated edit box. Although this works, it would be more noticeable if the asterisk had a foreground colour other than black (e.g. red). I can't see any way of doing this, or is there a better method of achieving a similar result ? Any suggestions/advice welcomed !

you could display anything you like, e.g. a little red icon, and give it a tooltip showing some explanation when hovered.
Have a look here[^] to see what the .NET Framework provides.

Hi Luc, I don't have any experience with .NET or C#. I am using MFC and am wondering if there is anything I can use without involving a steep learning curve. Thanks in advance for your advice.

I'm not saying you need .NET or C#, just suggesting you could show something on your form, like a small icon, and give it a tooltip-like behavior. I'm sure that can be done easily in MFC; I'm not sure I ever knew how though, as I don't use pre-.NET technologies.

No problem, Luc ! I really must devote some time in the future to looking at .NET - it clearly does offer a lot. But at the moment, I still haven't REALLY mastered the basics ! Thanks for your help, nevertheless.

There's an excellent control XBalloonMsg that can give you a balloon on the field in error. I use it all the time and it's easy to invoke.
Find the article here[^]
A simple one liner creates a balloon error message.
CXBalloonMsg::Show("Failed", "Create Failed, Web Site may be Offline, Try again Later", GetDlgItem(IDC_CreateNewBeta)->GetSafeHwnd(), GetSafeHwnd());

Hi Chuck,
Fantastic ! I've just had a quick look, and I think that it is JUST what I'm looking for ! Thank you very much for your help !

Hi again Chuck,
I have downloaded the demo project and tried to compile it.
However, I am getting the following errors:-
Compiling...
XBalloonMsg.cpp

Error executing cl.exe.
A Goggle search points me to MSDN, and I find that defines such as TTS_CLOSE are (supposedly) contained within CommCtrl.h - #including this within the relevant .cpp doesn't resolve the errors. Having found CommCtrl.h there is no mention of TTS_anything.
What header file is required and where can I get it ?
Thanks for your help

Hi,
when you encounter problems, or just have a question, relating to a CodeProject article, the recommended approach is to ask in the forum at the bottom of the article; that way the author himself is getting an e-mail notification and may answer your question (unless he is no longer active in CP at all).
It also is wise to read through said forum anyway, as it contains comments and questions from others on the subject. Chances are your problem is already dealt with here[^].

It would really help if you stated what compiler you are using. I suspect that you need to install the Platform SDK or Windows SDK. You should also check the value of your _WIN32_WINNT and _WIN32_IE preprocessor definitions.
Best Wishes,

Hi David,
I am running VC++ Ver 6.0
Having followed Luc's advice (see above), I visited the forum postings associated with the article. Within that there was a posting concerning compile errors similar to mine, and the author stated that it was simply a matter of changing the order of header and library directories to make PSDK at the top. Looking in Tools/Options/Directories, I could not see PSDK listed and therefore believe that this is my problem. So I downloaded Microsoft Platform SDK (R2) which seemed to be supported in my OS, WinXP. Only after the download and install, I see early within the documentation:-
Warning You cannot use the libraries from the current Platform SDK with Visual C/C++ 6.0 because the libraries were compiled using the new /GS switch to enable buffer overrun detection code. Using libraries compiled with this switch with Visual C/C++ 6.0 results in link errors. Specifically, the linker reports that it cannot find __security_cookie or __security_check_cookie.
I guess that the webpage must have specified this somewhere but I must have missed it.
Any idea how I get to the right version ?
Thanks for your help !
Doug
Edit: XP SP3 by the way !!

I suspected that would be the case. I am also still using VC6 for maintaining my older projects. The Febuary 2003 Platform SDK was the last version compatible with VC6. I would not recommend attempting to use a later version.
*edit*
It actually looks like Microsoft removed them from the public download center according to Sheng Jiang. Here is a Microsoft forum post on the subject:

Get it while you can...

Hi David, I saw somewhere on the web that the last PSDK compatible with VC6 was "the February 2003 version". This is surely the version prior to R2 (as the latter is a problem for VC6) isn't it ?
I think that it also said the Feb 2003 version wasn't available from MS on the web ! So where can I get it ?
Doug

Whoops, sorry about that... looks like I linked to the wrong SDK. One sec, I'll edit the post and fix it.
*edit*
I could not find the febuary 2003 version at the public Microsoft download center. However I did find some direct links in the Microsoft forums. You should get it while its still available...
You should probably get the SP6 as well if you don't already have it installed.

Hi David, Thanks very much for bringing this to my attention - looks very interesting and useful article. Why didn't I think of changing the background colour of the control rather than the foreground (retorical question !). It does raise my original point though - why CAN't you change the foreground colour (or have I missed it ?) ?
