I can't grasp the exact idea from your description, but the error message suggests the file is still open when you try to delete it.
Try closting the file first. Make sure your destructors are called when you expect them to be etc.

I want to place the text on the button the controls by using SDK

Things to be done are :
- Text position within the text control.
- Text color
- Text size and
- Text Font/Weight

There is a button class in MFC to do just that by drawing the whole thing as a graphic.
See MSDN.

Create A CFont Object with required attribute and attach to the Button variable...

Text color

for that you have to subclass the Button

If using MFC, you have to subclass the CButton control.

This cute article demonstrates the techniques:-

If not using MFC also, you would have to subclass the button control, no
other way Smile | :)

ListControl fixed column width

Hi all,

How could I disable the changing of column width in a listctrl?
In my program the changing of column width of first column should not be allowed.

Thank you.

problem with CreateProcess

10-Jan-06 21:04

HDN_BEGINTRACK

Returns FALSE to allow tracking of the divider, or TRUE to prevent tracking.

lParam has a pointer to an NMHEADER structure that contains information about the header control and the item whose divider is to be dragged.

But if you want to do it the easiest way do this:-

m_myListCtrl.GetHeaderCtrl()->EnableWindow(FALSE);

And I hope you know what EnableWindow(FALSE) does.;)

I am trying to execute an .sql file to creating tables in Oracle(8i) using CreateProcess() in my program and the system is giving my error that 'sqlplus.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.' I want to know more about it
////////////////////////////////////
//assume :
CString cmd;
LPTSTR m_szCommand;
cmd.Format("C:\\oracle\\ora81\\bin\\sqlplus.exe man1/man1@rcrmtest @D:\\MainMaster.sql");
m_szCommand = cmd;

Success = CreateProcess(NULL, LPTSTR(m_szCommand), NULL, NULL, TRUE, 0, NULL,m_szCurrentDirectory,&StartupInfo, &ProcessInfo);

/////////////////////////////

As soon as the createprocess is executed I am getting 'Success' = true; but immediately am getting the above metioned warning.
Can you figure out the problem?

downloading a file from http server

10-Jan-06 22:39

Have you actually tried running it manuall with the same parameters? I think you'll get the same errror because the problem is with sqlplus.exe, not CreateProcess (since it returns true).

XP Look and Feel Problem for Scrollbars?

Re: XP Look and Feel Problem for Scrollbars?

10-Jan-06 18:37

I have XP look and feel in my application. But there is a problem.

All controls are working and looking fine except for the scrollbars. Unless I click them they won't change to green(The standard LAF color for XP Scrollbars). Again I resize the window again they turn to gray. Dang!

Phew Sigh | :sigh:

Am I leaving out something. D'Oh! | :doh:

BTW. Are you using some sort of library to make that XP look and feel? I wonder if there is one, ever been looking for it...

Owner drawn10-Jan-06 22:58

Force a program run in a windows

Nope.

You just have to include YourExe.Manifest into your project. XP uses Commctrl version 6.0 library. So this look and feel can be implemented in XP.

I want to do so. I make a window. Then, in that window, I run a program, but that program (the display of it, exactly) must be only in the window I made. Is it possible ??? And if yes, how can I solve it ???? Confused | :confused:

It can be done.
The display properteis>screen saver property page does it.
Inspecting it with spy++ tells that the screen saver (*.scr) creates its window as a (grand grand grand)child of the property page window.
So just create a window in the child process and call SetParent on it with a HWND from the parent process

Is it possible if I want Age of empire or Word or Excel run in my window ??? I cant SetParent them.

It's possible. Force the main window of that program to be a child window of your main window. I did that once with sndrec32.exe
You'll have to deal with lots of nasty surprises, though.
