Does an application know in which folder it is stored?

Let's say my application needs to read some configuration information from a file. I would like that file to be stored in the same folder as the executable. How do I tell the application to look in its own "home" folder for the config file? I expected that that folder would be the default if no path is specified in the file name, but it doesn't always work. (For instance, Visual C++ saves the executable in the "Release" subfolder of my project folder, but if I use the "Execute" command to run it, it looks for the config file in the project folder, not the Release subfolder!

I can't hardcode the full path of the config file, because I want to let the user install the application in a folder of his choice. Help!

In windows xp, is it possible to hibernate a specific application?

Hi,
We know XP supports hibernating the whole system(when you power it off). I wonder if it is possible by programming to hibernate a specific application without powering the XP off? If so, generally, how to do that? What apis to call?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

GetModuleFileName

I have a win32 dll, and I want to use GetModuleFileName in it. But if I go to include stdafx.h or windows.h, I get bizarre compile errors. I have another win32 dll in which theres no problem. This one has a bunch of static ints and I get errors like:

error C2062: type 'int' unexpected
error C2062: type 'int' unexpected
error C2059: syntax error : ')'
error C2062: type 'int' unexpected
error C2062: type 'int' unexpected

etc.

The file has a ton of forward declares like:

static int
acf_llrt( float *hfdata, param_type *prm_type, int *m, int *n,
	  float *dtemp, int *idat1);

As soon as I remove the #include all is well.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdio.h>		/* FILE, sscanf(), fflush(), fscanf() */
#include <stdlib.h>		/* malloc(), free() */
#include <string.h>		/* strcpy(), strcmp() */
#include <ctype.h>		/* isdigit() */
#include <math.h>

hi folks

i'm interessted to develop (C++ with Visual C++ as IDE) a plugin for the MSN Messenger that will be integrated in the messenger and started with the messenger. does anyone know how to develop a plugin for the MSN messenger?

See this MSDN link: Windows Messenger API[^]

There's a scarce amount of examples available for writing a Messenger add-in. The best approach would be to write an external application that interfaces with the Messenger, and adds to it. But as for writing an authentic Messenger add-in, then sorry, nothing I can do Smile | :)

Terminating an application

Is there an MFC function to terminate an application? (like AfxAbort(), but without the ugly error message)

I just ended up calling my CMainFrame class's OnClose() function, since that's where I'm at when I need to do it anyway, and it works fine. I tried ExitInstance first, and it didn't work right. thanks, though!!

The prefered method is to post a WM_CLOSE message. This is what happens when you close an application via Alt+F4, or by selecting Exit from the File menu. Note that this is not the same as calling PostQuitMessage().

[--HELP--] After installing the latest DX9 SDK, the DirectX panel is gone.

After installing the latest DX9 SDK, the DirectX panel is gone.
I wonder if it is normal? If so, how do I switch between retail
and debug?

When I use Dxdiag, the program reports that "d3dref.dll" "d3dref8.dll" and "d3dref9.dll" are Final Debug.

I wonder if it is normal?

C++ without virtual functions is not OO. Programming with classes but without dynamic binding is called "object based", but not "object oriented".

Dunno about normality. What even is the DirectX panel ? You mean a Control Panel applet ? I have never even had one on my computer..

I have DirectX 9.0b run-time, and the latest DirectX 9 SDK installed. The files you mentioned are marked as "Final Debug" for me also. However my DirectX games and applications work flawlessly, so I must presume that there's nothing wrong.

Mouse selection

Hi,

I have a list control with the default multiple selection style.
The problem is that if I drag the mouse over it, it will not select all the itmes, like we do for example in a CListBox class.

If I want to select multiple items, I have to use SHIFT+ Arrow key.

How do I enable the mouse doing it

Shay

Ivan Cachicatari18-Aug-04 11:02

To enable select multiple items using the SHIFT key and the mouse or special key combinations, create the control with LBS_EXTENDEDSEL style, or set this style with.

m_yourListCtrl.ModifyStyle(0,LBS_EXTENDEDSEL);

Re: Mouse selection

Shay Harel18-Aug-04 11:10

The problem is that :LBS_EXTENDEDSEL is for a list box.
Is there anything for CListCtrl or CListView ?

Re: Mouse selection

Ivan Cachicatari18-Aug-04 11:31

Ivan Cachicatari

18-Aug-04 11:31

Yes,

To modify this style in a CListView use:

CListCtrl& theCtrl = GetListCtrl();
theCtrl.ModifyStyle(0,LBS_EXTENDEDSEL);

or inicialize this ina PrecreateWindow function.

BOOL CYourOwnListView::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
cs.style |= LBS_EXTENDEDSEL;
return CYourOwnListView::PreCreateWindow(cs);
}

a better strtok ?

Maximilien18-Aug-04 8:30

Maximilien

18-Aug-04 8:30

just wondering, is there a better thing than strtok ( and related ) ?

I need to be able to count the number of delimiters as well as tokens; not really count but scan for them. if one one my delimiter is the space, I want to know that if I have 2 spaces, I will get an empty token between them.

for example, if my delimiter is ; and I have the following string :

text;text;;text;text

I wil get something like :

text
;
text
;
;
text
;
text

I could make my own version of it, but if such a thing exists, I'd be glad to use it.

I've just learned about the boot::char_separator which would do what I like, can I use only a subset of boost ?

Thanks.
