Try SetFileAttributes()

I have lots of dialogs and activex controls in those dialogs in my application. I want to set sizes of those dialogs and controls on it according to current resolution. I use enumchildwindow function to get child window but i need to know which control is activex to set activex control font. How can i know which controls are activex, which controls are not? (at runtime) Thanks

ActiveX controls would be generally having .ocx extensions

This is what I am doing...
string str="MAX";
switch(str)
{
case "A":{ func1();}
case "B":{ func2();}
case "C":{ func3();}
}
following is the error I get..
error C2450: switch expression of type 'class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char="">,class std::allocator<char> >' is illegal
No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called
Please help me resolve this... THANKS.

You cannot switch on a string because the string is not an integral type. Integral means "simple" types such as int, long, short, char, ...
You can achieve the same behavior using if ... else if
if(str=="A") {
}
else if(str=="B") {
}
...

have you heard of the if keyword ?
a switch can work only with integers, not strings...

indeed, but i didn't want to complexify my answer, as the OP doesn't seem to know C++, so i doubt he actually knows that a char is a small int !!!

hi, you should use integer or char instead of string in switch.
like::
int a;
switch(a)
{
case 1:{fun1(); break;}
}
|
|
|
|
|
if your string is actually composed by a single character then the switch construct is viable, for instance:
string str="B";
switch( str[0])
{
case 'A':
{
}
break;
case 'B':
{
}
break;
case 'C':
{
}
break;
default:
{
}
break;
}
On the other hand, if you need to actually compare strings (i.e. more than 1 character involved) then you have to use a chain of if statements, for instance:
string str = "foo";
if ( str == "first option")
{
}
else if (str == "second option")
{
}
else if (str == "foo")
{
}
else
{
}

Hi all,
I want to get hard drive manufacturer name and slot information whether it is primary master-slave or secondary master-slave using VC++.
I am trying to get these details by using win32_diskdrive class(WMI classes). As there is one property of this class ie "manufacturer" that give the name of hard drive manufacturer. But when I execute my program it gives standard disk drive instead of giving seagate.
Is there any setting that i am missing? Is there any header file that i need to include?
I am using windows XP Professional and visual studio 2005.
Please provide me some guideline.
Thanks in advance.

hi, Thanks for quick reply. The link that you gave me is to get hard drive "model" and is in C#. I want am using VC++. I said earlier that I got all the info about my drive by using win32_diskdrive class but instead of getting drive manufacturer name i am getting "system disk drive".
Please reply me any solution.

The link is pretty informative IMO...WMI is language independent, so the fact that
it's C# isn't relevant. The key points I would take from that article are the WMI classes
used. It isn't always easy to find the class that has the info you want.
Also, you won't always find the info you're looking for - this will depend on what the
driver supplies to the system.
