Telling us what programming language your using would be good for a start :P

c++ for a guess?

this guy has been asking so many times this question that i doubt he really know what he wants, or at least, what the words he uses actually mean...

i have the impression that he is coding using managed C++ (or C++/CLI), be he's always employing the name of "Win32" in his messages... Unsure | :~

Turns out he is stuck with using Win32, he obviously is a little lost, he can't work out what forums to use, and it's taken several tries, and several correct answers from different people, for him to work out how to create a text file. I'm pretty sure he was wrong when he said that he already knew C++ well.

yeah, he was probably talking about VB6++.NET

I'm still trying to help him, but he's obviously very lost. I think he's doing a course that teaches Win32, and he feels he needs to use API calls instead of standard C++ ones. Whatever the course is, I hope he doesn't expect a job out of it. win32 ???

spamming and cross posting the forums is what we actually call to be polite around codeproject... and i just gave you a link to let you know the best practices for "asking a question the smarter way". it was all serious. but as you got on my nerves too, i linked the littke google stuff, as you deserved it also :p

I'm afraid I am starting to believe that you are trolling. You've been asked several times for information about what you're doing, and not responded. I've asked you countless times to try and work out if you're using C++/CLI, if you're using MFC, or whatever, you never answer. If you post again, please post with some code, so we can work out what forum you should be asking in, and once we've helped you define the technology you're using, stick to that forum.

well...i m not using MFC... i hav been asked to do so...i am doing programming in WIN32 C++ .NET and can use API. i m providing u with the code here..i want the two strings cName and CCompany to be now saved into a file on pressing OK button.
this forum has really helped me a lot . hope for same again...thanks.

TCHAR cName[20];
TCHAR cCompany[20];
switch(Msg)
{
case WM_INITDIALOG:
{
return TRUE;
}

case WM_COMMAND:
{
switch(wParam)
{
case IDOK:
{
size_t nLen;
GetDlgItemText(hWndDlg, IDC_EDIT1, cName, 20);
nLen = strlen(cName);
if (nLen == 0)
{
MessageBox(hWndDlg,"Please Enter name","Error",MB_ICONERROR);
break;
}
GetDlgItemText(hWndDlg, IDC_EDIT2, cCompany, 20);
nLen = strlen(cCompany);
if (nLen == 0)
{
MessageBox(hWndDlg,"Please Enter Company","Error",MB_ICONERROR);
break;
}
EndDialog(hWndDlg, 0);
break;
}

case IDCANCEL:
{

EndDialog(hWndDlg, 0);
return TRUE;
break;
}
}

return FALSE;
}

OK, so you *are* using Win32. The visual c++ forum is the best for this, although even then, you're in a severe minority to be using such an old approach to windows apps. Support for this is going to be very thin on the ground.

Now you'd just use standard c++ to save the values, using the classes I pointed you to the other day. Something like

#include <fstream>

std::ofstream file ("c:\\file.txt");

file << cName << std::endl;
file << cCompany << std::endl;

file.close();

This is standard C++, which I don't use much, so there may be some errors, you may need to check an online reference, or your books to get it exactly right.

Why do you need to use Win32 ? What a nightmare...

thanks.

but it will be nice if you provide some API code to implement this,
as it is a better approach...well i m a S/W developer trainee so i have to work on Win32.. as i am strictly asked to do so.

I don't know what you mean ? Others have told you the Win32 functions to call, but why would you prefer to call Win32 methods, than standard C++ methods ? That's just stupid, unless you're trying to write the code in C, not C++

Why are you accepting a position where you learn Win32 ? You know that no-one uses it, right ?

Tables in RichTextBox

How can i draw tables (flexible as in ms word). I have tried to use rtf codes for it but table is not flexible enough when user writes in cells the cell is not auto sized or the text is not wrapped accordingly but it ignores the lines of table and the text overlaps it.

Please if someone have a solution then let me know asap.

Hi Friends,
I came to know about the new guidance to develop windows application. And did some sample applications. I have some issues and doubts.

1. I have deployed it in a webserver. When it is accessed, its opening as new application (Window App). Is there any way that we can fix this window inside the IE itself.

2. I have used the SCSF May 2007 to develop that application. Everything is working fine, if I run it directly. But when I deployed it, I am not able to view the other Blocks used inside the app. Say, menu items, tool bars, buttons, etc. The shell only showing up.

Please help me, if you have any solution.

Thanks in advance.

Venkatesh Mookkan.
