Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it but it still does the same thing. I ran the debugger on the code and it seems to get hung up on Open method of the _RecordsetPtr object. Like I said, it works fine the first time I use the function and write to the table, but try to call the function again and it gives me the error.
Is there something else I can try?
Thanks...

I'm trying to dynamically give my static control the WS_EX_STATICEDGE style but it's not working. I've tried
GetDlgItem( IDC_MYSTATIC )->ModifyStyle(0,WS_EX_STATICEDGE); and also
GetDlgItem( IDC_MYSTATIC ->ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_EX_STATICEDGE); but neither seems to work. Any help?

The Windows static control doesn't repaint automatically when you modify the style. Try the following:
<br />
GetDlgItem(IDC_MYSTATIC)->ModifyStyleEx(0,WS_EX_STATICEDGE);<br />
GetDlgItem(IDC_MYSTATIC)->Invalidate();<br />
GetDlgItem(IDC_MYSTATIC)->UpdateWindow();<br />
BTW, you may need to experiment with this a little. Take a look at RedrawWindow() as well.

I am trying to figure out what is the best way to store old records in a database. Basically, I am trying to write some kind of archive function that will do record maintenance to keep the database relativly small. So if I have a table of purchases and I want to keep only the records that are newer than 90 days and move the older ones to some archive file.
My question is, what is the best way to store the archived records? XML? another database? some other method?
I am leaning toward XML but I really don't know enough about it. So on to my next question. Does anyone have a class that will take a recordset using ODBC and write an XML file?
Thanks in advance.

Personally, I would just go with another database. A database is obviously more robust than XML. Transactions, automatic backups, etc. XML is just a plain text file. Backups and transactions would have to be handled manually.

This may sound weird but is Visual C++ able to do game design if you "remove" the Visual aspects? Can you produce code worthy of game design with it or should I try other approaches/other software? I guess I need to know a bit on the basics of game design... Thx!

I"m not sure I understand what you mewan by "visual" aspects...but
I use visual C++ ide for writting code in PHP/JScript/HTML/ASP and anything else with c syntax style code. Just cuz I know it really well and I use it all the time...
I've used visual ide for writting code in plain jane c and c++ and compiled under different compilers no problem...Bloodshed C++ editor is no friend of mine, but I have the learning edition of VC++ so compiled exe's always have a warning of sorts compiled into the final output, so I often use third party compilers to avoid such problems...
If you mean can you write games in VC++ without using the windows visual aspects like windows and such...sure just don't include the MFC library and use windows native SDK function calls...

Depends what you need.
Basically depends of the platform in which will run the game....
For example I wrote game for XBOX and used VC++, with directX SDK.... (I had no problems). Now I am rewriten that game for PC, and also We are using VC++...

You can produce games with VC++. You just have to forget about MFC as a framework. If you use the application wizard to produce a Win32 application for you. You'll then have a starting point for writing a game. Have a look at the DirectX tutorials on the platform SDK.
Lots of "real" game developers use VC++.

I have a dialog-based application with a few buttons on it, by default, if I press "enter" or "space" key, the button which has focus on it gets triggered, if I press "ESC", the dialog closes. But I don't want those, I need my application only respond to mouse clicks, I want it completely ignore any keyboard event. How can it be done? Thank you.

Read the FAQ.

If I override OnCancel() then I cannot close the dialog by clicking the [x] on system menu. Is there a way so that it ignores all keyboard events, but it does respond to any appropriate mouse click. Thanks in advance.
|
|
|
|

I very much doubt that is what the FAQ says. You should override OnKeyDown OR if you override OnCancel you should use GetAsyncKeyState to continue only of escape is not being pressed at the time.

I have searched the FAQ and all it says is to override OnOK() and OnCancel(), could you please point me to the correct URL? And I tried to handle the dialog's WM_KEYDOWN and WM_CHAR events, didn't work, dialog went ahead and closed without those events even being triggered.
|
|
|
|

I've always done it in OnCancel and OnOK as I described, but I thought OnKeyDown would work. If not, the you'll need to override PreTranslateMessage and supress the keyboard messages altogether.

Yeah overriding PrepTranslateMessage() is exactly the way that solves my problem. Thanks alot for your enlightenment.
|
|
|
|

you can overload the dialog member function OnOk() and OnCancel().then i think you will deal with your problem.

Hello,
I am getting two linker warnings when I compile my dialog based program written in VStudio 6.0. I am using DAO connectivity in my program.
The warnings that I am getting are --
LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib "LIBC" conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library
LINK : warning LNK4089: all references to "SHELL32.dll" discarded by /OPT:REF
In my project settings under Link Tab, I have following information --
kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib ddao35.lib ddao35D.lib ddao35U.lib ddao35UD.lib /nologo /subsystem:windows /incremental:no /pdb:"Release/TDMS2000.pdb" /machine:I386 /out:"Release/TDMS2000.exe"
Please advise how and if I need to change my project settings. Thanks !
Anjum.

aren't ddao35.lib and ddao35D.lib the release and debug versions of the same lib? you should only link to one of them, depending on the debug/release configuration of your project.

Hello,
I am getting the strangest error. I have a VC++ Dialog-based
application using VC++ 6.0. At one point in my
application, if I press "Enter" the application just
quits. If I press anything else of click the button to go
on a next screen etc. .. it works fine. IF I press the "X"
on top corner to quit, it asks me if I want to quit and
quits normally. But if I press Enter on that screen it
just suddenly terminates, completely blimps out!!
I doesn't happen if I press space. If I press Esc then a messagebox comes and and asks me if I want to quit the application. ...
I do have OnOk() function over ridden. and when I press Enter, the application quits before it even enters the over ridden OnOk() function. I have changed the declaration of OnOk in my .h file in many different ways. I do not have an event handler explicitly declared for OnOk function.
It doesn't happen if the focus is on one of the buttons. Then that buttons click event gets executed. It doesn't happen if I set one of the buttons to be Default Ok .. then by pressing Enter that button gets executed.
But if I have focus on any text or combo box .. and press Enter .. it just terminates the application with no warning or message.
Please help. I will really appreciate any insight into
this. Thanks
Sincerely,
anjum Gupta.

You should override OnOK() not OnOk() (capitalization matters). This is covered in the VC forum FAQ.

Hi,
With a locally defined buffer, the following works fine: but I want to use doc variable to fill my list with, and it crashes:
if(NULL != m_list1.GetSafeHwnd())
{
CTrain1Doc* pDoc = (CTrain1Doc*) GetDocument();
char* pc;
CString string;
int nListIndex = 0;
for (pc = pDoc->m_buffer ; *pc ; pc = strchr(pc,0) + 1) //////crashes here in debug...
{
char* pc1 = strchr(pc,','); // search for a comma, returns a null pointer if not found
if (pc1) *pc1 = 0; // if we find a comma we replace it with a null character, if we didn't find a comma then the word is already null-terminated
string = pc;
int nItem = m_list1.InsertItem(nListIndex,string);
nListIndex ++;
}
}
