I'm using the SetNameOf function to rename a folder relative to its parent folder.
The Renaming works well but the pidl I get back is not the one I expect.

When I rename C:\Foo\Bar to C:\Foo\Bar.temp
the pidl I get back corresponds to C:\Documents and Settings\Arjan\Desktop\Bar.temp

<br />
LPCOLESTR lpNewName = A2OLE(GetItemText(m_hLockedItem));<br />
LPITEMIDLIST pidlNew;<br />
			<br />
HRESULT hr = pParentFolder->SetNameOf(AfxGetMainWnd()->GetSafeHwnd(),<br />
					pidlRel,<br />
					lpNewName,<br />
					SHGDN_INFOLDER,<br />
					&pidlNew);<br />
<br />
CString s;<br />
SHGetPathFromIDList(pidlNew, s.GetBuffer(MAX_PATH));<br />
s.ReleaseBuffer();

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks,

Arjan.

Hi,

I need to install the SOAP client software, and not to install the whole Soap Toolkit. I have found an Soap_core.msm and a Isapi_files.msm, the problem is that I cannot use that files in my installer Frown | :-(

.

Is there any way to install the dll's manually ? ( without screw up XP or 98... Smile | :)

).

Greetings

Looking for free FTP library to build FTP client.

Hello, everyone!

I am writing a FTP client and I do not want to write the program from scratch. Smile | :)

I want to know whether there are some free and open source FTP library that I can use to build my FTP client program quickly? For example, the library provides functions that can be used directly to upload a file, or connect to specified site.

Better the FTP library is based on standard C/C++ and not based on MFC.

regards,
Geo

Thanks, Neville buddy!

I find they are all written in C# or based on MFC classes. Are there some FTP client library that is written in stardard C/C++ and not based on MFC? I want the library easy to port on different platforms.

Thanks, markkuk buddy!

After a quick view of the libraty, I have two more questions,

1. I can not find the source codes of the library and only the header files and .a or .dll file.
2. The library is too large and is general purpose, but I only want to use FTP utility, so are there some simple and tiny library that only provide FTP client function?

Can you help?

regards,
Geo

ftplib

ftplib is a set of routines that implement the FTP protocol. They allow applications to create and access remote files through function calls instead of needing to fork and exec an interactive ftp client program.

I haven't used their FTP component but have been using their Mail and XML libraries and been very pleased with Chilkat. Big Grin | :-D

I find that it is not free. Do you know where can I find a free and open source one? I just want the very basic functions of FTP.

Yes it is,;P but its not open source. You can purchase Support if you need to or use the http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chilkat/[^] if you don't.

If you want anything cheaper than free Unsure | :~

then I'd start looking here[^] or even here[^] D'Oh! | :doh:

IHTMLDocument2, print template and COM Object

16-Oct-03 21:18

Hi,
i need to access a COM Object in my custom print template...

I tried to put this object in the IHTMLDocument2 from which i call the print/printpreview but it doesnt seem to work. is there any solution? (i tried the "Extending the Internet Explorer Scripting Engine By stereo" method, but i dont want to use ATL...) D'Oh! | :doh:

As soon as my object is avalaible in the IHTMLDoc2 i think i could get it in the print template using JScript and :
var m_myObject = dialogArguments.__IE_BrowseDocument.myobject;

Is there any other way to access COM object in a print template...

ComboBox problems when moving...

Peter Mares16-Oct-03 20:56

Hi everyone,

I have the following code that works GREAT except for when ComboBox controls are present...

<br />
::GetWindowRect(hWndChild, &rect);<br />
topLeft.x = rect.left;<br />
topLeft.y = rect.top;<br />
bottomRight.x = rect.right;<br />
bottomRight.y = rect.bottom;<br />
::ScreenToClient( pData->pParentWnd->m_hWnd, &topLeft );<br />
::ScreenToClient( pData->pParentWnd->m_hWnd, &bottomRight );<br />
if ( pData->uFlags & KCSB_ATTACH_LEFT )<br />
{<br />
	topLeft.x += pData->nOffset;<br />
	bottomRight.x += pData->nOffset;<br />
}<br />
else if ( pData->uFlags & KCSB_ATTACH_TOP )<br />
{<br />
	topLeft.y += pData->nOffset;<br />
	bottomRight.y += pData->nOffset;<br />
}<br />
::SetWindowPos( hWndChild, <br />
				0, <br />
				topLeft.x, <br />
				topLeft.y, <br />
				bottomRight.x - topLeft.x, <br />
				bottomRight.y - topLeft.y,<br />
				SWP_FRAMECHANGED | SWP_NOZORDER );<br />
<br />

Ok, here is the scenario. At some point, that code will be executed to shift all child windows on a parent dialog up by a certain offset. Everything works great, and even the combobox's shift..

BUT

If the combobox controls are shifted, they lose their ability to display their text in the contained edit control, they don't show their cursor (when focus is on them) and they don't show anything that is being entered into them (but they do store the data, and one can query the text programmatically). The drop downs work great tho Wink | ;)

Any ideas? (I'm using MFC7 for this, but I don't think thats the problem...)

I think you have the /SUBSYSTEM switch on the linker command line the wrong way round. The operating system loader looks at the flag that's set in the executable image header to determine which subsystem (Windows GUI, console, driver, native, POSIX) the image is for, and from that, how it should start the image. The image is likely set for CONSOLE when it should be set for WINDOWS.

I don't have VS.NET 2002 handy, so I hope it's the same as VS.NET 2003. In Project Properties, select All Configurations in the Configuration drop-down, then go to Configuration Properties > Linker > System. Change SubSystem to Windows.

International Password Encryption

I am writing an application plug-in that will potentially be released to end users outside the US. Part of this requires me to store a password in a file. I know that there are tricky encryption laws, but I don't really know how they work. What can I do to store an encrypted password in a file that would be legal for US export?

You could have a look in the libcrypto part of OpenSSL, which contains a lot of cryptographic functions and should detail if any have export restrictions (which I doubt it)

dll/ActiveX issue

work_to_live16-Oct-03 17:36

work_to_live

16-Oct-03 17:36

I'm trying to build a library of specialized helper functions I can move from project to project. I'm currently building an ActiveX control, and linking with this "helper" library (dll). This is the first time I've built my own dll, and I'm having some problems. Here's the problem I'm having...

I have a class I export in my dll, and can successfully import it into my control, but if I change the arguments in one of the member functions to a CString reference, the ActiveX control crashes when it executes that function. If I change the argument to pass by value, everything is OK, but I can't modify data in my control. I realize this is a brief explanation, but I'm hoping there's something that comes to mind as far as exporting classes that try to modify data in the calling application (ActiveX control in this case) with a reference to an object (CString) in the calling application.

Thanks.
