Visual Studio has one already built into the IDE. Just select Source Browser (Alt+F12) from the Tools menu.

Perhaps you did not select Source Browser (I think it was in the tools area) when Visual Studio was installed??

i tryed to install more tools for visual studio in case i didn't install the source browser, but i installed the whole visual studio!!
this means (and i think i didn't something wrong) there is no source browser in visual studio .NET !(?)

anybody knows an alternative

I wish you would have mentioned this detail up front. My comments were for Visual Studio v6.

How does one load the contents of an HTML resource into a CString?

Here's what I have thus far:

HRSRC hSrc = FindResource(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_HTML_HEADER), RT_HTML);
HGLOBAL hHeader = LoadResource(NULL, hSrc);

CString szHeader("");

// now what???

szHeader = (const char *)hHeader;
FreeResource(hHeader);

I guess I don't quite get the concept of a "handle"... Is a handle always a bald pointer like that?

ouch. i misread your code.

there is one more little thing you need:

HRSRC hSrc = FindResource(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_HTML_HEADER), RT_HTML);
HGLOBAL hHeader = LoadResource(NULL, hSrc);
const char *pData = (const char*)LockResource(hHeader);
szHeader = pData;
UnlockResource(hHeader);
FreeResource(hHeader);

gotta Lock after the Load

Microsoft Platform SDK February 2003

All,

Does anybody know where I can download a copy of this SDK as Microsoft have taken it off their website (and replaced it with the latest version which does not support VC 6.0) and now expect users to purchase a CD with it on (CD if free postage is $15.95)

At my company getting a purchase order for such a small amount takes days therefore I want to download it.

Any help anyone can give would be nice.

Thanks

Users.

Windows Standard for TreeControls

Hi..

is there a Windows Lawyer who knows if there is a document which says that the standard Windows Tree - Control is opening its branches when it's double-clicked. (Hope everybody understands what i mean).
And if there is such a document.. if there is a link to this document.
I'm fighting with some guys, telling them that this is the standard user experience and that everybody would be confused if it didn't expand the branch (with double-click).

All the label says is that this stuff contains chemicals "... known to the State of California to cause cancer in rats and low-income test subjects."

read the numbers using the correct byte order.

there's no way to tell which order is correct from just looking at a set of bytes, though. the information about which numbers are in which order has to come from something external to the bytes themselves. do you have a spec for the file format?
