Hi All,

Thanks for the Inputs.

I will explain in detail of the requirements.

1. Lets assume that, from VC++ through serialization i will store the data using CArchive class in file (ex. sample.ddd).
2. From the application, i can load back the file with the data using menu options.
3. But same way, what i want is how to open the sample.ddd file from mouse double click or keyboard enter from the folder. This needs to open the application first and then file data needs to open.

Pl. let me know the solution or sample code.

Regards,
Girish K R

Create registry value for associate editor to file type.

first add subkey to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT with default value:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ddd]
@="DDDSampleFile"

second add subkey to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT with default file type description:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DDDSampleFile]
@="Sample File of Mine"

you can provide DefaultIcon which displayed by Explorer:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DDDSampleFile\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\windows\\notepad.exe,0"

then tell shell how to open this file:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DDDSampleFile\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DDDSampleFile\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DDDSampleFile\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\windows\\notepad.exe\" \"%1\""

Of course you can do these actions by RegCreateKey and RegSetValue in your app.

at last ,you can double click the .ddd file in explorer to see the effect.

graphics.h is borland properitary header file... which doesn't come with visual studio... now you either have to give up dos programming or stay with borland compiler

Help with set SQL cursor to SQL_SCROLLABLE

Hi,

I'm new to Visual C++ database programing.

I'm using ODBC cursor to connect to an Access database *.mdb file.

retcode = SQLSetStmtAttr(hstmt1, SQL_ATTR_CURSOR_SCROLLABLE,SQLPOINTER)SQL_SCROLLABLE, SQL_IS_INTEGER);

I used the above line of code to make the cursor scrollable to I can do SQLFetchScroll to go backward and forward.

However I got the following error message: Optional feature not implemented.

Please help.

Thank you very much

It probably means access doesn't support scrollable cursors.

In MFC handle the WM_CTLCOLOR. Use class wizard then add code like the following:

HBRUSH CMFCDialogDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) 
{
     HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
 	
     // TODO: Change any attributes of the DC here
     if (nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_EDIT)
     {
         pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255,0,0));
     }
 
     // TODO: Return a different brush if the default is not desired
     return hbr;
}

Using Visual C++ (6.0) MFC, there is more than one way. If you search for "CEdit background", you will find 17 possible answers (see "Change the Background Color of an MFC Edit Control" ID: Q117778).

At the current time I am studying VB.Net (no choice) and in that you just call "sender.BackColor = color" ("sender" is an object derived control), which probably applies to C# as well (through the framework).

You could derive a class from a CEdit control and override the "OnEraseBkgnd" method, but there should be a better way.

That is the best I can do at the moment.

Place to save Wnd position

Where is the most appropriate place to save the placement of the MDI Frame window when the app is closing?

CWinApp->ExitInstance?

FrameWnd->DestroyWindow?

FrameWnd->OnCmdMsg?

I use the following so it gets stored on a per user basis...

void CMainFrame::OnClose()
{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
WINDOWPLACEMENT windowPlacement;
GetWindowPlacement(&windowPlacement);
AfxGetApp()->WriteProfileBinary("Settings","Window",(BYTE*)&windowPlacement,
sizeof(WINDOWPLACEMENT));

CMDIFrameWnd::OnClose();
}

BOOL CYourApp::InitInstance()
{
// Other stuff removed for clarity

// The main window has been initialized, so show and update it.
// Also get previous settings from registry for position
UINT unSize;
WINDOWPLACEMENT * pWindowPlacement;

if (GetProfileBinary("Settings","Window",(LPBYTE*)&pWindowPlacement,&unSize)) {
pMainFrame->SetWindowPlacement(pWindowPlacement);
} else {
pMainFrame->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);
}

pMainFrame->UpdateWindow();

return TRUE;
}

Well, look at this person's article.

I tried before, it works. However, if you move your mouse, the monitor will be turned on by os. I didn't try to solve this problem. If you know the solution, please let me know. Thanks.

Best regards,

How to generate a new icon at runtime for MFC tree control

lastgen16-Mar-06 13:15

lastgen

16-Mar-06 13:15

I know how to change an icon, I was just wondering if anybody knows how to generate new icons at runtime, or ideally how to create a new icon identical to the previous but with different colours? Alternatively, is it possible to change display colours of an icon without creating a new one?

When I die I'd like to go peacefully in my sleep like my father, not screaming in terror like his passengers!!!

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
