Re: what it mean in C++-> TCHAR

See TCHAR is defined as follows

#ifdef UNICODE
typedef WCHAR TCHAR;
#else
typedef char TCHAR;

max path is the sum of

_MAX_DIR + _MAX_DRIVE + _MAX_EXT + _MAX_FNAME + _MAX_PATH

it means that there's is char(if ASCII) or wchar_t (if Unicode) array of size MAX_PATH

you can see these definitions, if you press F12 after selecting the requried definition (e.g TCHAR)

From the MSDN:

TCHAR<br />
The TCHAR data type is a Win32 character string that can be used to describe ANSI, DBCS, or Unicode strings. For ANSI and DBCS platforms, TCHAR is defined as follows:<br />
<br />
typedef char          TCHAR;<br />

TCHAR is a character data type definition.
If your program has a UNICODE configuration build, then it is defined as wchar_t. Otherwise it is simply defined as char

So your definition would resolve to:

<br />
char IncompleteFilePath[MAX_PATH];<br />

, for a non-Unicode app.

.lib file is a static library file or DLL implicit linking file?

Hello everyone,

If I am given a .lib file, how can I check whether the .lib file is a static library file (archive of obj files) or DLL implicit linking file? I have such confusion since they both use the same extension name .lib.

regards,
George

Return a different color brush from OnCtlColor for static controls

if (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID () == IDC_STATIC)
{
return CreateSolidBrush (RGB(255,0,0));
}

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

I have already provided the example. You just need to add these lines of code in the OnCtlColor method(See My previous post) to change the color of the static controls on the dialog.

when you run onctlcolor the background is blue and when you use pDC->settextcolor() you can change color from static
but i think you need to WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC for static i think if you use this event
your problem is solve

ActiveX and UDT array

CheerioMaster4-Jul-06 21:31

4-Jul-06 21:31

Hi folks!

I have an MFC activeX control where I want to send an array of UDT (structure). My problem is that I have to use VARIANT compatible data types. As far as I know this means that I should wrap a SafeArray into a Variant and send a pointer to this variant to the client.

My problem is how can I add elements of a UDT to this array in such a way that when the client recieves the array he can easily extract the elements of the UDT one by one.

My UDT or structure looks like this;

struct product {
int weight;
float price;
} ;

Hope I made my problem clear!

Thanks for any help!
