For one, you no longer have MDB files, you have MDF and LDF files. However, these files are not self-contained like the MDBs, so you can't just move them around. It's best to let SQL Server deal with it if you're just starting out.
For two, if you're using DAO to connect to Access, I'd recommend switching to ADO if possible.
For three, to *easily* manage your database, you'll need a replacement for a tool for a program that comes with the real SQL Server called Enterprise Manager. Here's one such replacement...

And lastly, SQL Server comes with many tools that MSDE does not. One in particular is the DTS wizard and editor. You can run a DTS package with MSDE, but not create one (unless you do everything via code that is).
The last I heard Microsoft was selling SQL Server Developer Edition for only $49. It's way better to develop your DB with the real deal, and then just bring it over to MSDE when you're done.

pChildFrm ->GetWindowRect( wkRect );
::SetWindowPos( CMDIChildWnd ->m_hWnd, &wndNoTopMost, Pos.x, Pos.y, wkRect.Width(), wkRect.Height(), SWP_SHOWWINDOW);

Hello all
I want to program an application which has to retrieve info reg whether the browser is using the proxyserver or not. I found this information in registry under
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1614895754-1647877149-839522115-500\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
But I would like to know whether this works on all windows machines or not. If there's any better way of retreiving this information, pls suggest.
Thanks for your help.
Hari.

Hi,
Do you want to do that programatically ? HKEY_USERS info is user based. You will find similar such settings under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE too.

Thanks for the reply. I found similar settings in HKEY_USERS.

Ok, I know how to use the GetPixel function, the only problem is that I must get the DC of an inactive/minimized window. I've tried HDC hdc = ::GetWindowDC(hwnd), HDC hdc = ::GetDC(hwnd), HDC hdc = ::LockWindowUpdate(hwnd), but all of them returns -1 when I call the GetPixel function on any pixel of that DC.
If I can figure this out, it would GREATLY help my project.
Thanks a lot in advance

You can't get pixels from a minimized window. There is no "canvas".

So in no way I can do this?
Damn, that sucks. With this, my project would have been so great...

Not to my knowledge, no. The device context mirrors what's shown on screen. If there's nothing on screen, then there are no pixels to grab.
This window you're trying to snatch pixels from.. is it in the same process as your pixel grabbing routine? If it is, you could always make the "source window" double buffered. That is, it keeps a bitmap of itself internally. That way you could access the bitmap for pixels. Otherwise it's a pretty tough job I reckon.
By the way, after GetPixel() returns -1, have you checked the error code? Either call GetLastError() or add the @err pseudo-variable in the watch window in the debugger.

Well, I have a game window opened and minimized, I'm using ::FindWindow to get its HWND value, I tried all possible ways to get the window's DC, but couldn't.
Would it be possible to get a bitmap or a BitBlt and get the pixel I want from it? If so, how could I do it?
Thanks a lot for your help

i think u can send it a wm_paint message and pass a dc in
then it draws to that dc
and u can grab what u like
"there is no spoon"
biz stuff about me
|
|
|
|
|
Uh? Pass a DC in a WM_PAINT message?
How do you do that?
I doubt it's possible...
~Mike
|
|
|
|
|
|
Uh this won't work. Sending a message to a window is not like retrieving a HDC, so it won't return the HDC of the window.
|
|
|
|
|
dude
u pass the hdc in as athe wparam and the app _might_ paint on it
if ur lucky
i thought that was what u wanted?
"there is no spoon"
biz stuff about me

Whatever, any serious responses please?
|
|
|
|

I don't think it'll work with WM_PRINT. HDCs are inprocess handles I believe (not entirely sure about that though). Sending an HDC from one process to another will at best result in nothing. I think the only way is to grab a handle to the window, and then acquire a HDC from that window handle.

Hi all, happy new year!
I need to sequentially load a set of CMyObject files created using the objects' serialization mechanism, but have hit trouble. It's getting a bit tricky for me. I've managed to enumerate the file names i wish to load, but can't load them into the CDocument object because I need the information for data processing. What I need is to load the files into a separate CDocument object. Does anybody know how to go about this?
Any help would be much appreciated 
Thanks.

You want to load a file using MFC's serialization and load the file and read it's raw data also???
I believe when you use serialization...it initializes CMyObject members for you automagically.
So why don't you just use you CMyObject objects?
I'm missing something here I think

As hockey says I am also especially about this: "What I need is to load the files into a separate CDocument object."
Why? Loading of files should not have to depend on a CDocument and you do not need a CDocument to load files. If you need the information when the CDocument is closed you can load your data in the Main Application...

I am asking again,
maybe nobody noticed the question.
Or maybe the problem is really 'real' 
An Edit control of Microsoft ( both normal or RichEdit ) is not able to count right the CRLF characters ! Yes, just the ones that Microsoft itself keeps alive !
What it does is just to ignore the '\r' characters in the count, both when using EM_GETSEL and EM_SETSEL
Does anyone knows how to do it right ?
Thank you very much for any answer
