I'm working on a project which involves printing invoices. Those invoices have predefined layouts (more than one) which may contain tables(of purchased products), images and so on. What should i use for displaying/printing them?. I've used an activex ie control and XML/XSL generated pages for this kind of work in the past but now i need pagination and some other features that html cannot provide. Generating pdf files is also an option but i don't know which api to use

   Straight ASCII and Form Feed characters! :P

   Seriously, I would think that something like PDF would work well here, as would something like a reporting package (like Crystal Reports).

   There are APIs that allow you to programmatically create a PDF document, but I do not know of any free ones.

   Peace!

Disable selection highlighting in a CTreeCtrl

Hi,

Please help me find a way to disable or change the color of the selection highlighting in a CTreeCtrl. It is the same selection highlighting that is expanded by enabling the "FullRowSelect" option of a CTreeCtrl.

Thanks.

Hi,
I try to translate text to text in True DBGrid control, but it seems not work in VC++, my code list below:
....
CValueItems oValueItems;
oValueItems = m_CtrlTDBG.GetColumns().GetItem(&index).GetValueItems();
CValueItemDisp* pValueItemDisp = new CValueItemDisp();
pValueItemDisp->SetValue(old_value);
pValueItemDisp->SetDisplayValue(new_value);
oValueItems.Add((LPDISPATCH)pValueItemDisp);
oValueItems.SetTranslate(TRUE);
....
I don't know how to use the function CValueItems.Add(LPDISPATCH vItem), someone can give me any suggestion? Thanks!

Hello !

I want to find out whether the current logged in user is Domain user or a Local system user. What I mean Is whether user is logged to Domain or a local system.

Is there any API I can use to determine this???

Thanks.

Possibly. Check out NetUserGetInfo() and NetWkstaUserGetInfo().

Hi !
Thanks for the reply..

I am using NetUserGetInfo() to get the user information and SID.
I used LookupAccountSid() to get the domain name.

Now if user is Local user, domain name will be local machine name and if he is a domain user then domain name will be set accordingly.

But how to determine this as domain-name and machine name can be same..

Thank u.

What do USER_INFO_2.usri2_logon_server and WKSTA_USER_INFO_1.wkui1_logon_server indicate in that situation?

I believe that you can use ::GetUserNameEx(...) with a name format parameter of NameSamCompatible. That format will reutrn the username in DOMAIN\USERNAME format, and I believe that if you are logged in locally, the DOMAIN portion will be the Computer Name (See ::GetComputerName(...)/::GetComputerNameEx(...) for the computer name).

Peace!

Property Sheets and OnInitialize()

Hi, I'm displaying a Property Sheet (3 tabs) and whenever I select the tab I need the first time, my sheet displays correctly. However, subsequent selections do not display properly. Is there a way to force a OnInitialize() operation on the form again? Maybe something like an invalidate - though, I am programming in MFC.

What version of VC++ are you using? With v6, property pages use OnSetActive() when the page becomes active.

You can't use LPCSTR here because of the constantness. But how about this:

LPTSTR result[150];<br />
_tcsncpy(result, str.GetString(), 150);<br />

The person that replied to you made a typo, the code should be:

TCHAR result[150];
_tcsncpy(result, str.GetString(), 150);

If you are using a CString, you there is a built in operator that will return an LPCTSTR, so you do not have to use GetBuffer(...) or anything like that to get a const pointer.

Peace!

When using a method that is specific to a particular VC++ version, it helps to state such.

From MSDN

// example for CString::GetBuffer
CString s( "abcd" );
#ifdef _DEBUG
afxDump << "CString s " << s << "\n";
#endif
LPTSTR p = s.GetBuffer( 10 );
strcpy( p, "Hello" ); // directly access CString buffer
s.ReleaseBuffer( );
#ifdef _DEBUG
afxDump << "CString s " << s << "\n";
#endif

I have found this page usefull when I convert between different types:

There you will find many other conversions as well.

why don't you just do :

CString str = "hello world";
 
(LPCSTR)str;    // used as you like
                // either used with strcpy to be copied, or passed as a function parameter

inline doesn't enforce the function to be actually inlined.
it's up to the compiler to decide if the function is simple enough.
moreover, the main goel in inlining functions is for earning some call time when the function is called multiple times ; main is called once AVAIK !
