Is it possible for an Executable to export functions just like a dll? I added a .def file to my project, it compiler good and using the dependency walker i saw it was exporting the functions, but when i use them from outside it crashes/does nothing. Is it possible?
Thanks

I think to do that, you'd have to write an EXE COM server.

p.s. pardon my crude terminology, but my COM aint great, not yet

Yes, and sometimes .exe's do just that when people define the wrong macros or include the wrong header files that are intended to only be defined when creating a function exporting library.

There you go, you have exported the symbols!
but when i use them from outside it crashes/does nothing.
So long as you obey all the rules obeyed by a DLL that has no initialization code whatsoever, and you LoadLibrary yourself it will work just fine. A PE is a PE is a PE... (Portable Executable).
May I suggest you read up a bit on how PE, DLL's, compiler runtimes in general and such actually works before even trying to do something like this? I've got around seven years of heavy Win32 development under my belt, and I've never encountered a situation like yours (that wasn't a design error).

Here's my code:
ifstream MyFile( "somefile.txt" );
MyFile.ignore( someNumber , '\n' );
What I want to do is have the someNumber be infinity, or just have the program ignore until the program reaches a '\n' character. Should I just make someNumber a really, really big number or is there a way to say, ignore until you find a '\n' characer.

Won't reading in an entire line do that for you ?

Since ignore() takes only an integer (not a size_t) you can only skip 2^31 (around 2 giga-) chars. If you want something closer to infinity you'd probably have to use OS dependent integral types.
If you accept 2GB as the limit for the first newline character, you could use INT_MAX from <climits>.

Hi, Is there a way to have a dialog based application consisting of several pages? For example, I am trying to create a credit card application: In the first Dialog box you would input your personal info. How do I go about having a "Next" button that will send me to the next page or dialog box where I would input my "employment info" and so on.
Thank you very much
ps. I am a beginner

Yes, that's easily done using a "wizard" interface, similar to an installer dialog. You'd need to use a CPropertySheet as your main dialog. Each page would be a CPropertyPage. You'll need to call SetWizardMode() (I think that's what it's called) on the property sheet to enable it's wizard mode.

Property sheets in wizard mode will be just what you want.

yes. create your dialog app, then change the CDialog to a CPropertySheet and add as many pages as you need. you'll also probably want to make this a "wizard" type of property sheet.
unfortunately, it's not a small topic, so i can't lay it all out for you. it's not really difficult, but some parts are tricky the first time you see them.
-c
<font size=-2>
main(){float _,l,O,I,o,x;char i;for(x=-1;x<1;x+=.05,putchar(10))
for(o=-2;o<.9;o+=.05,putchar(i?'?':':'),_=l=O=I=--(i=1))for
(;((O=_*_)+(I=l*l)<4)&++i;l=_*l*2+x,_=O-I+o);}
</font>

//I want to dynamically create a new combo box just to the right of an existing combo box. The problem is I do not seem to be able to set the size of the dynamically created combo box. Any suggestions???
CComboBox* pExistingCombo = (CComboBox*)GetDlgItem(IDC_COMBO1);
//The new control should have the same stlye as the existing control
DWORD dwStyle = ::GetWindowLong(pExistingCombo->m_hWnd, GWL_STYLE);
//Get the edit area and drop area of the old control so they can be the same
//size in the new control
CRect rEditArea, rDropDownArea;
pExistingCombo->GetWindowRect(rEditArea);
ScreenToClient(rEditArea);
pExistingCombo->ShowDropDown();
//get the size of the drop area
pExistingCombo->GetDroppedControlRect(rDropDownArea);
pExistingCombo->ShowDropDown(FALSE);
ScreenToClient(rDropDownArea);
//Move the new control over to the right a little
rEditArea.right += 150;
rEditArea.left += 150;
//Build the new combo control
m_pComboNew = new CComboBox;
m_pComboNew->Create(dwStyle, rEditArea, this, 1222);
m_pComboNew->AddString("one");
m_pComboNew->AddString("two");
m_pComboNew->AddString("three");
//Question??? - How do I set the drop down size of new combo to be same as existing combo?
m_pComboNew->ShowDropDown();
 Thanks

Before creation, add this line:
rEditArea.bottom += rDropDownArea.Height(); The non-dropped height of the combo box is always determined by the size of its assigned font; sizing it vertically determines the dropdown height.

Thankyou for you prompt reply,
I tried with sendMessage ,but did not work out
SendMessage (handle1,WM_MENUSELECT,MF_MOUSESELECT,0);
Where handle1 is the handle of the destination window
WM_MENUSELECT is wparam parameter and mouseelect the LPARAM PARAMeter

Can anyone help with this one? I am in one process. I use getforegroundwindow ato get the handle to the active Window. However, If it is a view, it does not give me the control that has the focus. This is what I want. I have tried to get GetFocus, etc but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I have an app that I have a file name as a cmdline data. I use __argv[1] to access this. I will store this to use later. If the file exists, when I try to open it it is fine.
However, I am getting a strange thing when the file does not exist. In my program I don't use it or allow the user to build a file using this name with new parameters. However, my program automatically exits and the OS tells me that the file can not be found. I have looked at my code backwards and forwards. THis has to be the OS or MFC doing this. I have a feeling it is the CCommandLineInfo and ...ProcessShellCommand... In MSDN, it seems to say that the file will be taken as a file to be opened by the App. Is there a way around this? I do not use the OPen etc functions at all.
This has been bugging me for half a day now. Thanks for any help.

ummmm how about not doing the command line processing but just pulling the filename for use later in your app?
situations to avoid #37:
"good morning ... how many sugars do you take in your coffee ... and what was your name again?"
coming soon: situations to avoid #38: "...and the dog was there too?"

Do you happen to use an MFC class, like CStdioFile, to open the file? I believe CStdioFile (and others) can throw an exception if the file doesn't exist. That could cause your program to exit if you don't catch the exception.
Just a thought...

Put break points and try and locate the error area.

I have been trying to change icon of executable by using APIs like UpdateResource. But this doesnt work for me. I always corrupt the resource . Infact the old ones remain there and new gets in but in corrupt form. I am using WinXP Pro. Can somebody guide me about how to do it.
In my dream, I was dorwning my §orrow§
But my §orrow§, they learned to §wim

Why are you using an API to change the resource? Use the Resource editor. The icon with the lowest resource ID is your program's icon - what shows in Windows Explorer, for instance. Make sure to have a 16x16 image, and a 32x32 image. Include a 48x48 image if want your icon to show up nice and pretty on XP systems showing files as "tiles".
