If you know the pathname relative to the Desktop folder, then simply get the Desktop folder path (use SHGetFolderPath()) and merge the two together.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
But this is not my expected result. I explain here the scneario once again.
(ie) The actual path of the file is : let it be D:\Samples\sample.txt. But SHGetPathFromIDList returns the path as "c:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\sample.txt". But what my requirement is i need the full path "D:\Samples\sample.txt".
I was able to get the same using GetWindowText of cabinet class. But what the problem is suppose if the user unchecks the option "show full path in titlebar" via Tools->folder options->view, then i won't be able to the fullpath.
If you know how to get the fullpath, please help me

I'm not understanding your definitions of "actual path" vs. "full path." What's the distinction? Is D: mapped to some folder on the C: drive? How are you acquiring the IDL?

I have a setup program and it registers various Components, (DLL's and OCX's) but a problem is caused only when the setup is trying to register FM20.DLL, the error code is 0x80040151. All other files are getting registered. How can I resolve this problem? In some machines there is no problem, but in some machines (98 specifically) this error comes.

Can you register that DLL manually?

Respected All
I have used PRINTDLG in VC++ in my program.
now it work fine but when I changed the Orientation or some changes to print dialog it work accordingly but only once and when i have to print 2nd time my previous changes made to print dialog could not saved and default print dialog settings picked up unlike other window packedges like MS Word when we set the printer dialog settings then it is saved as long as the document is open.
now plz guide me that how i make my program that i personlize the printer dialog and my changes to printer dialog makes permonent as long as my VC++ program is running.
hope +ve response very soon.

void CSaveTextDlg::OnRead()
{
FILE *f;
CString temp1;
if ( ( f = fopen("c:\\Log.txt","r") )==NULL)
{
AfxMessageBox("Unable to open file");
return;
}
while(fscanf(f,"%s",temp1)!=EOF)
{
str= CString(str) + CString(temp1);
}
fclose(f);
m_Text=str;
UpdateData(FALSE);
}
This is my code...I got full text of Log.txt...But i got full text without space.I need space also.My text contains some tables..I cudn't get tht.
Pls findout the problem

 Why don't you use CFile :
CFile file;
if(!file.Open("c:\\log.txt",CFile::modeRead))
{
AfxMessageBox("Unable to Read File");
return;
}
char * str=new char[100];
file.Read((void*)str,100);
delete[] str;
str is the buffer that contains data retrieved from the file .
Does this solve your problem????
Now you can use file.Seek() to get the data from a certain location in the file

why u used fscanf..? why fgets not..
fscanf returns when white space is encountered.
so you can use fgets which reads the file line by line.

Not exclusively.

fscanf() can also do this.

fscanf function reads a word from file. This is why you do not get any space.
If you want to get space then use another function instead of fscanf.

it seems that you're using either c and C++ functions.
i suggest you using the standard STL library, with std::iostream and std::fstream.
there, you'll dispose of a getline() function whichcan be configured to read until a \n character (by default) of whatever other...

Ok There are lots of good suggestions.
I thought to give the answer in your style only.
fscanf(f, "%[^\n], temp1);
this will read string of character until it will get a new line;
I just add as one of the answers. But the previous answers are more perfect.

While you may get it to work, your code is not very efficient as it reads from the disk way too often. If all you are doing is reading from a file and displaying the contents in an edit control (i.e., you wanted words and spaces), I suggest something like:
CFile file("c:\\log.txt", CFile::modeRead);
LPBYTE lpBuffer = new BYTE[file.GetLength() + 1];
UINT uBytesRead = file.Read(lpBuffer, file.GetLength());
lpBuffer[uBytesRead] = '\0';
file.Close();
m_Text.SetWindowText(lpBuffer);

I have some doubts with regards using the above method.
Now the data may need to b displayed on Editcontrol whih is on a different dlg than the one from which the read request has been initiated. So one needs to store the data on2 a CString or like to Xfer the data to dat dlg.
Secondly, when u read file data u wud not know in advance how large the file length wud b, so allocation of a very large buffer wud not b advisable. How abt having a fixed size buffer that reads data and does
CFile FileToRead;
FileToRead.Open(<filepath>);
DWORD dwBytesRemaining = FileToRead.GetLength();
while(dwBytesRemaining)
{
UINT nBytesRead = FileToRead.Read( buffer, sizeof(buffer) );
CString += buffer;
dwBytesRemaining -= nBytesRead;
}; ??
CString wud manage the hassles of mem mgmt and u have read all the data w/o any allocation work by urself. Does CString have any limitations of not being able 2 store large data or newline probs etc??

It makes no difference, as long as the data being read is accessible by the other dialog.
cpp_prgmer wrote: So one needs to store the data on2 a CString or like to Xfer the data to dat dlg.
The example I provided did store the data in a BYTE variable.
cpp_prgmer wrote: Secondly, when u read file data u wud not know in advance how large the file length wud b...
Sure you would. I also showed this in the example. Did you not see it? Strangly enough, you used the same CString::GetLength() call in your code snippet.
cpp_prgmer wrote: How abt having a fixed size buffer that reads data and does...
Like I previously indicated, multiple disk reads are not necessary, and can be detrimental to performance.
cpp_prgmer wrote: CString wud manage the hassles of mem mgmt and u have read all the data w/o any allocation work by urself.
Yes, CString does this, but how much trouble is it to use the new operator once with the tradeoff being less disk I/O? Furthermore, the CString += buffer statement can be a lot more expensive than a single use of the new operator.

No.

as far as i know, unicode support in win98 is not too good and unicode apis are not well documented.

You need MLU[^] to work with Unicode in 98 Machine :->.

HI,
I use this code to creat a windown. I want to know there way to make sure it is always on the top of the other windows of others application. Can I anyone send me a pointer?
// Create a main window for this application instance.
hWnd = CreateWindow(
"SWClass",
"M App.",
WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, // Window style.
1000, // Default horizontal position.
000, // Default vertical position.
280, // Default width.
100, // Default height.
NULL, // Overlapped windows have no parent.
NULL, // Use the window class menu.
g_hInst, // This instance owns this window.
NULL // Pointer not needed.
);

Use the SetWindowPos API function on your hWnd.
Take a look in MSDN about how to use it. Or maybe this is enough, I took it for you:
BOOL SetWindowPos( HWND hWnd,
HWND hWndInsertAfter,
int X,
int Y,
int cx,
int cy,
UINT uFlags
);
Put hWndInsertAfter = "HWND_TOPMOST" and then at uFlags SWP_NOMOVE and SWP_NOSIZE and SWP_NOACTIVATE, depending on what exactly you wish to do. More details about all those in MSDN :- D.

Axonn Echysttas,
Thank you so much for a quick reply. Another quick question, if I want to dock my window in the top-right conner of the screen, what enum should i use? Sorry for my novie quesiton since i am kind of new to this windows programing thing.
Thank again.
Jimmy

You can't dock it there. You must use some dynamic positioning. It's easy. Grab screen dimensions using GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) and GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN). Those will return X/Y sizes in pixels. Then make some simple arithmetic calculations to determine where your window's X should be so that it's X + WIDTH reach the screen total X : ).
