cheers, you were right, all I needed was:

HRGN rgn ;

m_MyButton.GetClientRect ( &button_rect ) ;
rgn = CreateEllipticRgn( 0, 0,
                         button_rect.Width(), button_rect.Height() );

int ret_val = m_MyButton.SetWindowRgn(rgn, true);

Andy,

So does your (round) bitmap touch the four sides of the bounding rectangle? What if your bitmap was an oval instead? Would CreateEllipticRgn() still work?

Hello,
I'm trying to find a function where you could Copy a file from a UNC path to a UNC path and be able to supply the function with a domain\user and password. I have been searching MSDN for the past couple hours with no luck. I know if you simply supply a UNC path it will prompt for authentication but I want to automate this.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Rob

Create the connection between the two computers using NetUseAdd(), then call CopyFile().

Good idea, I was thinking about that earlier, but for some reason I thought you needed to assign a drive letter (which i didn't want to do) but i see now that you don't.

Thanks,

Hello All

I have downloaded a source code which has been developed in Win32. The source code has all the necessary resource files, .c and .h files and a makefile (.mk extension). But I would like to make a workspace (VC 6.0, dsw file) out of the available source files so that I can debug the code in VC 6.0. Is there a way to create a dsw file from the available files ? If Yes, can somebody help me out !!

Thanx.

Sure, you just need to know what type of project it is/was. Just use the AppWizard to create that type of project, and then add your files to it.

Reading Data from .STL File

I am attempting to write a C++ application that can read data from an .STL file (such as volume, xyz values, etc.) I am having trouble with this task. Can anyone help? I've seen some freeware called Admesh. The Admesh software computes reads data only from simple .STL files, but cannot read a complex file. Any help would be appreciated.

If you want to read the file yourself, you have to know the file format and do everything yourself. An alternative would be to use a library (or existing source code) that do that for you (if you can find that).

For the file format, google is your friend[^]

Download the Platform SDK (version Server 2003 R2 or newer) - the DirectShow SDK is included.

There's enough documentation and sample code there to get you started pretty quickly.

If you run into specific problems, don't hesitate to ask here Smile | :)

Hello. I have an SDI application where i pace a resource dialog as a child window. The problem is that the dialog is taller that the main frame so a part of the dialog is not showing. Can someone give me an advise where and how to resize the main frame according to dialog size? Thanks in advance!

To size any window, check out SetWindowPos() and MoveWindow().

Is this MFC? If so, in your CFormView's OnInitialUpdate call:

ResizeParentToFit(FALSE);

The boilerplate code created for SDI in VS2005 does not include the FALSE which allows the parent to grow.

MDI, dynamic menus & lost system menus

Endaroza15-Jun-07 0:34

Hello everyone!
I have the following problem in my MDI App.
If my MDIChildView is not maximized I remove the main menu
of my MDIFrame (SetMenu(NULL)). Then I maximize my view
and I set my frame main menu to the original menu (SetMenu
(pOrgMenu)). The menu appears, but the control menu
(maximize, minimize, close button) of my child view don't
appear in the menu bar, as it should do.
The only possibility that I have is to call
MDIRestore()
MDIMaximize()
of my child window. But this results in an ugly window
flash.

I have already tried all things I know about MDI frames
and child views, but non of that worked.
Has anyone an idea, how I can solve this problem?

The only thing i found with google was "nothing" Frown | :(

Thank you to everyone, if he has a solution, or (sigh) not!!

You may need to call DrawMenuBar to get it to display correctly.

Hi!
Thank you for the answer!!

Yup, in theory yes (at least when my app was only SDI this thing worked well). But let me explain beter the situtation:
1) I don't use doc/view style, seen that i use several kind of views, from activex to rtf to everything can be nice to use as "plugin", i can't then use the trik to change the menu through the document template
2) It exist only the menu bar for the CMDIFrameWnd, that is dinamically modified/created/deleted following the users desires Smile | :)

3) the thing that appear is something like [windows grey thingy ][_][menu contents][[]][X]
it return ok only with a MDIRestore->MDIMaximize sequence but under XXXXXXX windows XP and Vista the animation make this process SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
4) This thing happens only when i follow this process
a) no menu exist and there is an MDIChild maximized
b) i create the menu for the mainframe

The solution i tried (and used) was to lock every window of the app during this restore/maximize sequence but is a mess, i dont like to simulate user action only to satisfy the gui oddities Frown | :(

BTW thank you for the answer, because i did not specified that i where already using DrawMenuBar

Disconnection of Socket

Hai !

suggest me to perform the socket disconnection in VC++ 6.0.

I used "close" and "shutdown" to perform socket disconnection but when saw through TCP View the socket remaining connect.

Onther one, To disconnect we have to perform both the side client and server operation or client side only enogh.

How did you connect it? Is closesocket() what you are looking for?
