I'd suggest studying an existing scripting project like Macroquest[^]

I do have to say how much I appreciate your help and if there is any learning curves that you could throw at me, that would be greatly appreciated as well. I do thank you once again. Also, how's the weather down there? Big Grin | :-D

One more note, I dig your work too man.

P.S. Anyone else have any suggestions as well?

You're welcome, I'm glad I could help. I don't know much about scripting though, I just know of Macroquest because I saw it mentioned in a blog a couple days ago.

(The weather is bloody hot, btw) D'Oh! | :doh:

I build a empty project of win32 application and want to constuct a dll by it(just a try),my codes as follow:

#include <windows.h>
HINSTANCE g_hinstThisDll = NULL; // Our DLL's module handle
UINT g_uDllLockCount = 0; // Count

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain ( HINSTANCE hModule,
DWORD ul_reason_for_call,
LPVOID lpReserved )
{
switch ( ul_reason_for_call )
{
case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
{
g_hinstThisDll = hModule;

DisableThreadLibraryCalls ( hModule );
}
break;

case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
break;
}

return TRUE;
}
I have set the Project->Settins->Link->OutPut:EntryPoint:DllMain and set Project->Settins->Debug:Win32.dll,But there is a link error:unresolved external symbol _main.
now I want to know whether this method is practical or not

if you want to create a DLL, start with a Win32 DLL project, not with a Win32 Application project.

there is more to a DLL than just a DLLMain. you also have to tell the linker to make a DLL and not an EXE . there may be other things, too. but that's what VC takes care of when you select a DLL project.

How to rename the CButton object?

I am a beginier with c++ and I was reading an article to make an XP button, and I don't know how to rename the CButton... can any one help?

Goto your dialog class header file (*.h) that contains the button you want to change to XP style.
It will be like this :
----------------------------------------
class CMyDialog : public CDialog
{
public:
.
.
CButton m_btn;
.
.
.
};
----------------------------------------

Change "CButton" word to your XP style button class name.
For example : CButton -> CXPButton.

Don't forget to include your XP style button class header before this dialog class header.
For example : #include "XPButton.h"

May be compiler can't find "definition" of constructor and destructor. Check your constructor and destructor for its completeness and validness declaration (usually in .h file) and definition (usually in .cpp file).

If it still can't help, confirm me.

how to position child window OnInitialUpdate()

elephantstar23-Jul-04 12:23

23-Jul-04 12:23

I need to position my child window (formview) at position 0,0 each time it starts up. I tried the line of code below but it doesn't seem to do the trick.

SetWindowPos(NULL, 0, 0, -1, -1,SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOACTIVATE);

Without the code, its position is set at 0,0. But each time I open that same window up, it keeps changing to the next cascading position. How can I prevent this and have it start at position 0,0 each time?

Thanks!

You are supposed to do this by modifying the CREATESTRUCT in PreCreateWindow, so:

BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
  if( !CFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
    return FALSE;
  // TODO: Modify the Window class or styles here by modifying
  //  the CREATESTRUCT cs

  cs.x = 0;
  cs.y = 0;

  return TRUE;
}

I inserted the above code and it still doesn't work. Each time I close the window and open it back up again, it moves to the next cascading position. I tried inserting similar code into BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs) and it gives me the same result.

How do I import a class into a dll?

Hi,

I need to use a class that is outside of my DLL in my DLL. I've tried every way I know of, but I can't seem to accomplish it. I know you can export from a DLL, but can you import into a DLL? Unsure | :~

The outside class is not in another DLL, it's free-standing in the project.

I'm not very experienced with DLLs, so any help is greatly appreciated...Thanks!

If this means the class is in source-form, then just copy it over!

If it means it's part of an EXE, then Im afraid there is no easy way (if any) to import!

Hi Bikram

I would copy it over, but that class relies on other classes in the project. I can do it as a last resort and just copy all of the classes needed into the dll, but if I do that I may as well not use a dll and just put it all into the client project.

Thanks for your help!
