A portable solution will be using sockets, and using in the socket the http get command ...

Can one use an HTML GET call?

Yes, that's exactly what you must use to download something from a web server.

Do I have to basically write a ftp client

No, you must write a http client. See the Winsock FAQ to see how to do socket communcations without MFC. Winsock 1 calls (the ones without WSA prefix) are easily portable to Linux (they are based on Unix socket functions).

with GetTcpTable & GetUdpTable you get the same result as netstat -an from the commandline.
On XP ,netstat have another flag -o which display the PId that associates with the Tcp/Udp port
how to accomplish that ? any ideas ? Rose | [Rose]

registering an ActiveX on pc?

Does anyone know how to register an ActiveX Control on another pc automatically without requesting the user to do it by him/herself?
is InstallShield capable of registering an ActiveX Control in setup.exe? but how? What should i do? do i need to write script for it?
When i send release of my app to my friend which includes an .ocx file they are compelled to register (many of them don't know how to do it as well by using Regsvr32.exe) it before starting the app.
Thanks for ur help..

Yes you need to execute the DLLRegisterServer function

#include <stdole.h> 

typedef HRESULT (STDAPICALLTYPE *CTLREGPROC)() ; // Requires stdole.h

HMODULE hModule = ::LoadLibrary(m_strPathName) ;
CTLREGPROC DLLRegisterServer =
      (CTLREGPROC)::GetProcAddress(hModule,"DllRegisterServer" ) ;
DLLRegisterServer() ;
::FreeLibrary(hModule) ;

Another problem with distrubuting my application is that Mr.Antollini.
i tried to use MFC ODBC classes to keep some user information. And whenever they need to search someone they would have easily connected a DSN and got the info. But i realized that that would need them to create an ODBC connection in their local but again it needs help (as in ActiveX..)
is there a way for making a ODBC Data Source connection by coding inside the app?
That would really solve one of my distrubuting problem Mr.Antollini
Thanks for ur help,

Yours respectfully...

You need to use the function SQLConfigDataSource Wink | ;)

SQLConfigDataSource(NULL,ODBC_ADD_DSN,
  (LPSTR) "Excel Files (*.xls)",
  (LPSTR) "DSN=New Excel Data Source\0"
  "Description=New Excel Data Source\0"
  "FileType=Excel\0"

  "MaxScanRows=20\0");

Printing with the IE Webbrowser Control

6-May-02 3:04

My problem is the following. I've based myself on a document writen by Microsoft on how to print with the webBrowser Control. So I've been able to specify my desire settings like paper size and paper orientation. But my ultimate goal is to restore the original settings once I am finished. I've created a function that backups the settings and work fine and a restore function that restore my settings that works fine too. But the problem is that when it is executed the print dialog is still open and thus the restore function wont work. So far my only way arround it is to have a button call this function, but I don't want that, I want it to do that automatically.

The article I used is called Printing with the Internet Explorer WebBrowser Control written by Dave Templin. I am using the wp_print03 example.

Thank you

I assume that you must have access to the views from the document. If so, simply instantiate a CClientDC passing it the desired view pointer.

Database access without MFC

Can anyone recommend a good CDatabase/CRecordset clone which doesn't use MFC?

Alternatively, can you recommend a different technology (ADO or something) which is independant of MFC?

Cheers

You can using COM. There are some articles in CP.

Libodbc++ is good, but it's not a clone of CDatabase/CRecordset. It's based on the JDBC API instead.

if i don't created this control ,then everything was ok!a strange problem ,who can help me?

When you say "load", do you mean a value like the one shown on unix boxes when you type "uptime", or do you just need to know the percentage of CPU (time) being used by the "System Idle Process"?

Peace!

Does anyone known the library it's in, header-file to use? Or is this a vc7.0 function? I'm using 6.0

GMEM_MOVABLE is also unknown...
