I need to set this layout:

One Main Frame Splited in two views.

Each View receives another (secondary) mainframe, so i can have multiple windows in the upper splitted windows and multiple windows at the bottom splitted window.
Can it be done?

Thanks

|MainWindow Frame |
|--------------------------|
|Secondary MDI Frame One |
| (multiples cview windows)|
|--------------------------|
|Secondary MDI Frame Two |
| (multiples cview windows)|

CDialog from within CListView

I have written a explorer type of application with CTreeView/CListView and Splitter bar etc. On the ListView I have added a popup menu from which I then display a CDialog with DoModal(). The dialog displays fine but the mouse events aren't being captured, so cannot click on the OK/Cancel/Close icons. I can click select the OK/Cancel buttons using the tab key, but why isn't the mouse usable?

Hoping someone can advise where I have gone wrong.

Thanks but I am still no further forward. I have created an SDI Explorer application using the application wizard, from the EditView derived from the CListView I have added a popup menu from one of the menu events I am showing my CDialog based dialog with DoModal(). The dialog shows OK but the mouse events aren't being captured! I have tried all sorts of ways of trying to resolve this but nothing has worked so far.

It sounds like something has failed to release the mouse capture, which is set with SetCapture and released with ReleaseCapture.

Driver for read/write the CMOS

Thanks for your help. I sorted it earlier today, by calling ReleaseCapture() just before the DoModal(), as you suggest. Solved it.

Thanks once again for you help though. This forum is brilliant when you just cannot solve a particular problem.

Hello all. I want read/write the CMOS in Windows NT or later. I've knew that is necessary use a driver. Then I would like to know if there is a driver of the Windows that I can call, so that I don't need develop a driver?

Thanks all.

I would like to open MS Word 2003 via api and send text to it. After that the user should edit the text in word and I would like to catch an event when the document is saved. Would like to do this via com. All examples I found about this belong to office 97 and doesn't work anymore. Does anyone can tell me where to find an example for automation in Office 2003?

I think you can use Microsoft Word Object library for the same.

open OLE viewer provided with visual studio tools and open the interface tab.
you can find the requried one there.
I think codeproject has some article on the same.
Pls check it.

it is not depends on VC++ 2003 or VC++ 6. u can use either.

Is there a way that we can know all exposed functions and their signatures and exposed data items which dlls and lib files expose, if we donot have any documentation about them, something like resource hacker.

You can use DumpBin[^] utility provided by Microsoft. This is console based application

You can use "Dependency Walker" which is provided with Visual Studio tools for the same purpose.

While dumpbin and depends can show the export table, they will not show you the function signatures.

If functions are exported as mangled C++ names, Depends can translate those into C++ prototypes.

Yes, because all that info is encoded into the mangled name. For example:

?ConcatInPlace@CString@WTL@@IAEXHPBD@Z becomes:
protected: void __thiscall WTL::CString::ConcatInPlace(int,char const *)

I just pulled that from a MAP file of one of my apps. I was just demonstrating that the mangled name contains all the info necesary to convert it to a C++ prototype.

So does Depends also use said .map file, or how does it generate the function's signature?

It's all encoded in the mangled name. You can see for yourself using the undname tool in the PSDK:

F:\>undname -f ?ConcatInPlace@CString@WTL@@IAEXHPBD@Z
