Doubtful, since you've not provided anything useful.

Right ... So write the following lines of code:

// Create an instance of the CIniFile class
CIniFile IniFile;
// Create a new file called test.ini
IniFile.Create("test.ini");
// Create a key
IniFile.SetValue("MyKey","MyValue","MySection",FileName);

And when I open the ini file I have garbage in the file. I haven't edited the .cpp and .h files provided by the article.

Useful enough ??

Have you made any other changes (besides here) to the CIniFile class?

Have you stepped into the SetValue() method?

No I haven't made any changes, the only 'thing' that differs is my IDE. I'm trying to use it in C++ Builder 2006. But I can't see anything wrong with that (besides that Builder suck). Yes I have stepped into SetValues, but I'm struggling to debug ... not use to Borland debugging environment.

Oh well, I'm sure I'll figure it out ...

Thanks David

have you tried compiling in both UNICODE and non-UNICODE to see if that matters ?

Draggable objects

I would like to create an application which is basically a transparent window, or something similar, which has "objects" on it, which are images which can be dragged around the screen, and clicked on, and double clicked on etc... However, I am not sure how to implement this..

I usually work in pure C/C++ however if there are some C++ classes which allow for this i would be willing to try them out..

Thanks for your help!

Select a row in List control with code?

I've got the complete row selection extended style working now, but would just like to know the correct method to programmatically set a row to be selected as though a user had clicked it so that it can be turned all blue.
cheers

Use the LVM_SETITEM message.

Is that via a SendMessage David? I've not used that before very much

Yes, if you are not using MFC.

You can use:

SetItemState(index,LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED,LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED);

wizard finish button and message box

I have a property sheet with wizard style.
At one place, I need to disable the Finish button. The code doesn't work and the Finish button is enabled.
But if I put a message box before calling the SetWizardButton routine, it works.
I tried with invalidate method so as to refresh the current windows, but I guess I am missing something.
Any pointers?

What does the code look like?

oK I digged into the problem a little bit
Is it a message queue problem?

Code ===
pWizard->SetWizardButtons(PSWIZB_BACK);

CWnd* pButton = pWizard->GetDlgItem(ID_WIZFINISH);
if (pButton) {
// this call doesn't work
pButton->EnableWindow(FALSE);
}

but if you put a message box before the call, it works, as in

if (pButton) {
AfxMessageBox(_T("text"));
// this call now WORKS
pButton->EnableWindow(FALSE);
}
Code ends ==

On the other hand, if I call a "ShowWindow" method instead of EnableWindow, it works fine with or without the message box.
What happens in EnableWindow?

Why aren't you using:

pWizard->SetWizardButtons(PSWIZB_DISABLEDFINISH);
