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

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

Congrates on ur count
but
change back the banner to normal colour
it was more effective , this is quiet flashy.
And spoils the real effect of the banner words.

how to pass the VARIANT argument in this functioin?

ewighell10-Jan-06 17:48

I am programming with the API of Autodesk Inventor(a CAD software). and there is a function which is described in its documentation below:

Profiles.AddForSolid Method: 
Method that creates a profile containing multiple paths for creating solid features.
<code>AddForSolid(Combine As Boolean = True,Curves As Variant,reserved As Variant)As Profile</code>

<code>Combine </code>Optional input Boolean that specifies ......(the following info doesn't help, so I leave it out) 
<code>Curves</code> Optional input ObjectCollection that contains sketch curves. The method will create a profile consisting of only those paths that are comprised of the exact set of sketch curves specified in the ObjectCollection. If not specified, all the possible profile paths are included. This argument is ignored if the Combine argument is specified to be True. 
<code>reserved</code> Optional input Variant reserved for future use. This argument is currently ignored.

while the corresponding wrapper class in the rxInventor.tli is declared as:

HRESULT Profiles::AddForSolid ( VARIANT_BOOL Combine, const VARIANT & Curves, const VARIANT & reserved, struct Profile * * _presult )

I have no idea how to pass the paramter const VARIANT & Curves, could anybody help me ?

Thank you very much!!!

I need to put a page break in a lengthy html file for printing purpose. The html file is having information in table format (we use html table – tag). After each 66 row, I have to put a page break.. How I can do in VC++

The obvious way would be to do the printing within your own app, and generate a new page every 66 lines. Remember, that's not 66 lines of HTML, you need to parse and look for your table row end tags.

ToolBar Win32

How to place a ToolBar created by CreateWindowEx() in a particular position on Dialog. I tried by placing a static control & then...see code

WINDOWPLACEMENT w;
::GetWindowPlacement(::GetDlgItem(m_hWnd, IDC_STATIC_TOOL), &w);
::SetWindowPlacement(hToolBarHandle, &w);

But the ToolBar displayed bit lower than the position of static control.

When I tested using MFC it placed exactly sample place that of static text

::GetWindowPlacement(::GetDlgItem(m_hWnd, IDC_STATIC_TOOL), &w);
m_Toolbar.CreateEx(this,WS_CHILD | CCS_NOPARENTALIGN|TBSTYLE_FLAT);
m_Toolbar.LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR);
::SetWindowPlacement(m_Toolbar.m_hWnd, &w);

Also in MFC the width of toolbar is same as the toolbar resource/static control where we place the toolbar. But in SDK the displayed toolbar width is higher. How to set/fix size of tool bar in SDK. What could be the trouble in Win32 SDK way? any suggestions???

Here's how I'd do it:
---------------------

RECT rc;
::GetWindowRect(::GetDlgItem(m_hWnd, IDC_STATIC_TOOL), &rc);
::MapWindowPoints(NULL, m_hWnd, reinterpret_cast<LPPOINT>(&rc), 2);
m_Toolbar.CreateEx(this, WS_CHILD | CCS_NOPARENTALIGN|TBSTYLE_FLAT);
m_Toolbar.LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR);
::MoveWindow(m_Toolbar.m_hWnd, &rc);
