If I compile a code that uses MFC the size goes about 36KB. If i compile almost same code tht doesnt use MFC its size goes to 56KB.

How can I reduce the size of my exe file.

In my dream, I was dorwning my §orrow§
But my §orrow§, they learned to §wim

But the 36k is without the mfc dll. Trust me, in the end, a program with mfc is _much_ bigger than a plain C one Smile | :)

Abstract class as interface

Hi!

I am writing a custom window control in MFC: a tab control.

CWnd
 A     
 |    
 |   
MyTab

class MyTab : protected CWnd {
public:
   void add(const CString& title, CDialog* dlg);
   ...
protected:
   ...
private:
   ...
};

Everything goes well. Now I want to seperate interfaces from implementation theorically:

CWnd  ITab (abstract class as interface)
 A     A
 |    /
 |   /
MyTab

class ITab {
public:
   virtual void add(const CString& title, CDialog* dlg)=0;
};

class MyTab : public ITab, protected CWnd {
public:
   virtual void add(const CString& title, CDialog* dlg);
   ...
protected:
   ...
private:
   ...
};

This time, the problem exist: there is no HWND attached.

Does anyone know how to solve this? Or is there an alternative design?

Any reply would be appreciated.

I have not understood what it means (hwnd of what???), but I want to give you small advice: mfc classes must be first at deriving order (MSDN says that). Swap 'public ITab' and 'protected CWnd', otherwise you will have a problems

Create/SetWaitableTimer

I've set a waitable timer (Create/SetWaitableTimer API) to 10 seconds. Since it's been
created in a window, I can't use WaitForxxxObjectxxx sync function. So I wanna use a
feature that SetWaitableTimer encapsulates, a call for completion routine.
How can I assure the call for 'PTIMERAPCROUTINE' when a the timer has elapsed??? I read the the creating thread must be 'alert' Confused | :confused:

, but I don't want to use the sync API's.

HELP!

hi there,

I have a console project where i wanted to use the exit() function, but no way, the linker does not recognize it. MSDN says it is defined in <stdlib.h> which, of course, i have included in the file. Any idea ?

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void main(void)
{
exit(0);
}

(Yes, I know, my code sample is ridiculous Big Grin | :-D

)

Thanks

ADO determine if a field is primary key

I have tried to determine if a field is PK (primary) or FK (foreign key) but not much luck. One constraint: this must be done ADO/C++.

I'm almost completing my module now... a short code sample in C++ will definitely help a lot...

Basically,

pRs->Fields->Item[j]->get_Name(&bstrFieldName); //This is how I retrieve field name.

nType = pRs->Fields->Item[j]->Type; //This is how I retrieve data type.

But how can you determine if a field is PK/FK??

Help!

hi, i need to identify database schema. Some people suggested to use OpenSchema.. but i've no idea how to use this API from VC. All samples are in VB.

So, I did the following:

char szPK[20];
strcpy(szPK, (pRs->Fields->Item[j])->Properties->Item["KEYCOLUMN"]);

This doesnt work of course. But it illustrates the intention is to determine:
(a) Given a field, is it a "Primary Key" OR "Foreign Key"
(b) And "After" identify that a field is a foreign/primary key, determine the "associated: table.

Thanks

weird UNICODE problem

Hello,

I just added UNICODE support to my App and it fails to work properly. Even simple string assignments fail, I always end up with one (the first) character.

example,

<br />
CString s;<br />
s = _T("Test");<br />

Now s seems to be 'T'. What's going on here?

Try defining both UNICODE and _UNICODE in the predefined macros section.

I think the problem is in your output of the value. There are two things to remember:
1. Unicode handling is mostly limited to NT/2000 platforms.
2. If you use an ansi string function on a unicode string you will (very often) see that the function gets only the first byte of the 2 byte character. That is because the second byte is often 0x00.

You say that you have added UNICODE support, does that mean that you have defined UNICODE?, then perhaps you could try defining _UNICODE as well.

Windows itself can't tell you but you can "ask" Windows.
If you have a timer with an interval at 50 or something and check if Calculator is running with FindWindow or something. There is better ways to find a running app but I don't remnember how right now! Frown | :(

There is a way to get the Windows shell to tell you though.
Maybe quite a few....
A really icky one, was to override the .exe association via
the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe and associate it with a program
of your own that logs, or whatever, and then proceeds to
launch the application.
I first saw this as a really mean trick. Frown | :(

Now where was that reference....
