Screen savers have the .scr extension and are winnt\system32 (or whatever your system32 dir is).

I could tell you more, but I'd have to kill you Wink | ;)

No kidding, that is all i know about screen savers.

I'm on a work trip in Tokyo for June so a little out of contact with various filters on this net connection here. So, this question may have been answered already.

My temp email at which to post a reply is wolfram_s@hotmail.com
This will be cancelled whe the trip is over.

I received my latest MSND Libray DVD just before I left for here and low and behold Microsoft in their kindness got me to install IE6 and a the Installer, and also assumes that I am using VS.Net which I am not for this project. Hence my F1 help support has stopped working.

Does anyone know of a work around to make it work with VS 6?

Any help will be muchly appreciated. Confused | :confused:

Happy programming!!

Sorry, October 2001 was the last MSDN that worked properly with VC 6. (Unless there's a hack I haven't heard of, although I doubt it because any hack would've been posted about 5 times in the Lounge within a day. Wink | ;)

I need a function that take an integer and returns the month name. I can not use special function calls. I tried to do this bu declaring enum MonthNames = {January, February... etc etc and by not using enums and still had problems. Any help would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
Derek

IMHO, it would be very easy to write such a method.

I can not use special function calls.

What do you mean by that??

I'm using STL, not MFC. I would like to store the Month names in an enum or something and easily be able to pass in 3 and have returned "March" or pass in 11 and have returned "November"

inline std::string GetMonthFromInt(int iMonth) {
    static std::string sMonths[] = {
        "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
        "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" };

    if ((iMonth >= 1) && (iMonth <= 12)) {
        return sMonths[iMonth - 1]; // arrays are zero-based.
    } else {
        throw "Bad month number"; // This could be a homemade exception
    }
}

or if you don't want the overhead of copying strings:

inline const std::string& GetMonthFromInt(int iMonth) {
    static std::string sMonths[] = {
        "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
        "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" };

    if ((iMonth >= 1) && (iMonth <= 12)) {
        return sMonths[iMonth - 1]; // arrays are zero-based.
    } else {
        throw "Bad month number"; // This could be a homemade exception
    }
}

Call GetLocaleInfo() and query for LOCALE_SMONTHNAME1 thru LOCALE_SMONTHNAME12. This way the string gets automagically localized on all languages.

You are a well full of knowledge when it comes to localization!!!

How many projects have you created with localization, and do you do this for every project that you create?

When I worked at Symantec, everything we wrote had to be localizable. Mostly that meant making the code DBCS-enabled, and having all strings that the user might see in the string table. I've only needed GetLocaleInfo() once - I did a scheduling wizard and used it to show the names of the days of the week.
As for my present work, I automatically write DBCS-ready code out of habit. Wink | ;)

That is how I write code as well. Although I have never had to use the GetLocaleInfo functions or anything to that effect. It is something that I am interested in learning because not many people I know, know how to use those functions, or even know that they exist. So it would increase my value as a developer for international software.

However, I really find that stuff dull and would rather learn 3D computer graphics or something like that Smile | :)

How is it ?

Thank you so much

An application cannot modify the clipboard if another application has it open already.

The clipboard owner must close the clipboard, then another application could open, modify, and close it, then the original owner could open it again with the modifications in place.

How do most people do their program in Doc/View?

I find it weird that Doc/View have been used in such a way in filezilla, a GPL ftp client and server.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/
Such that the view have access to the window itself and encapsulation have been broken.
Is it a common and easier way to do things this way?

From what i have read in books, we should have accessor methods to access the private members in the Document class, and the view class should use these accessor methods.
Perhaps in this example, filezilla does not really have a "document" thus his use of direct access to the window to c

What do you guys think of this progam?
And how should Doc/View be used in programs like this?

Someone recommended that I use the CFileFind class to check the contents of a folder. I tried it and it works great only it check the contents of the folder that my program was in. I can't seem to check the contents of any other folders. How can I accomplish this?

virtual BOOL FindFile( LPCTSTR pstrName = NULL, DWORD dwUnused = 0 );

Specify full path in pstrName:
CFileFind hFile;
hFile.FindFile("C:\\Windows\\*.dll",0)
Than use hFile.FindNextFile();

Good luck!

displaying/hiding bitmaps in a MFC dialog

Hi,

I need to be able to show and hide bitmaps in a dialog dynamically. Basically, I want to use the bitmaps to make a card game, but I need to be able to specify their (the cards) locations. I need to be able to do something of the following (yes, I know the following code wont do anything):

ShowBitmapXYZ(0,0);

Or something along those lines.

Thanks,
