oh right. ok. because ive only started to learn c++ in the last couple of weeks, and i didnt really know the difference between MFC and normal c++... since I never saw those symbols in what i was doing, i figured they were an MFC thing...

That all makes a lot more sense now, lol! Thanks!

So why would one want to hide a class type?

Thanks,

mark

Ah! That looks more understandable... so is MFC basically the same, just with different top-level structure?

Thanks!

Do you know how to mute it (other than setting the volume to 0) - as in, similar to checking the 'mute all' option in windows?

Thanks a lot!

No, I've never looked.

Visual C++ is Microsoft's implementation of C++.

MFC is a collection of classes, most of which act as a wrapper around the Win32 API. There are classes for many of the handle-managed Windows objects and also for predefined windows and common controls. MFC provides an OO programming model to the Win32 API. See here.

What does PreTranslateMessage() and WM_QUERYENDSESSION have to do with muting the volume? Confused | :confused:

ooops, David didn't you notice the topic changing to "OT" and more specifically "MyT" meant to say My Topic. i've been trying to capture the logoff event in a MFC DIALOG based application, but its not getting trapped in the PreTranslateMessage(). the same works fine in a Win32 windows application. i could trap the WM_QUERYENDSESSION. but i've developed my project using MFC framework. can you help me out here??

Of course I noticed that. I'm not blind. Why would you do it, though? It makes no sense whatsoever. Why jump right into the middle of a thread about A and start asking questions about B?

XML DOM

Hi,

Can anybody guide me how to read XML file using DOM which contains UNICODE characters? I know DOM very well. I have made my own DOM parser as sutaible to my company needs. However nor my implementation or nor the CODE PROJECT's "http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/C___XML_wrapper.asp" applications are able to read the unicode XML file, they are working perfectly with the simple encoding schemes.

Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. My problem is that our application is organized in such a way that I cant use the wrappers. I have to make certain functions as my application needs in a way, or I have to change all the calls which are atleast 2000 or above. Actually we were using third party class which was using array and templetes to read and write the XML file. So the calls are sutaible to that fassion only. However I have replaced all the third party class function using DOM and wrorks fine, probleam is or UNICODE only, as the Load function is not at all loading the file.

Thanks.

well can the load function read from a Buffer cause most libs can read from file and Parse from a string, if it can't you could always read from file and write to a non-unicode(ascii) file and have the lib read from that, not elegant but there seems to be no other way.
