Yes.
The issue is getting in some way the path of the "double-clicked" data file in my program

The Windows shell will send that to your program as a command-line argument (e.g., argc and argv). Check your program's registry setting(s).

I am working on an MFC SDI applicaiton similar to ToDO list where user can enter various tasks for the day and retrieve them. I want to synchronize it with google calendar so that user can retrieve any tasks from google calendar into my application.
Can anyone tell me how can I do it in C++? Google provides calendar APIs but I have not found anything on how to use them or even interacting with them using C++ code. I know xml and my application can parse and write into xml but no experience in interacting with websites or internet programming.
Any input will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

AFAIK, the closest thing for you would be CLI/C++ (or may be Objective-C, if you are into that?). Here[^] is the API, just in case it could be of help.

I am new to .Net as well. So, just wondering whether I can add .net support to my mfc application. I downloaded the calendar sdk and in the sources folder, all files are in C# but there are some dlls also. I hope I should be able to use those dlls in my application directly provided these are COM dlls.
Thanks for the reply.

.NET support for your MFC app? There is no such thing. 
Your app is either native or managed. To deal with the discussed Google APIs, your app must be managed. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. But still scratching my head about how can I interact with GData in my MFC application as it is not possible for me to do it in .Net
It seems like it will be possible for me to do simple query and get response as described in this link. Since all this is totally new to me, so I am still trying to understand it.

Why are you repeating the word "MFC"? I simply don't get it. The core of the application that you are looking to develop is already written in managed code. So, there is no point in just writing the UI in MFC (I'm presuming you're doing this), for at least the reason that you can build feature rich UI with much lesser efforts with the help of .NET.
I believe there must be samples too at code.google.com; just do a search.

No, whole of my application is using COM & MFC. My todo list is just a small part of it and my whole project does not use .Net in any way. So, i do not think using .Net will be possible. I hope I have understood you properly.

OK, I get you now. I thought todo list was your entire application. And that's why I asked you to write your app in managed code. Besides that, I don't see a way you could use the google calendar APIs in your application, because that is entirely managed code.

I use bitmaps for some toolbar buttons.
Ex.
In my .rc file I have:
<br />
FLDWZOOM BITMAP MOVEABLE PURE "fldwzoom.bmp"<br />
I my .cpp file I load the bitmaps for the buttons
<br />
case IDM_ZOOM:hBitmap=LoadBitmap((HINSTANCEhResource, "FLDWZOOM"); <br />
break;<br />
Can I load gif images instead of bitmaps?
If I can, what function must I use?

It's going to take some work. You can use OldLoadPicture to load a gif, which will give you an IPicture object. But you'll still need to show it on a button.
The windows BUTTON class only takes HBITMAPs, so you'd need to do some owner draw.
Luckily there's a whole bunch of owner-draw-buttons of all sorts here on codeproject. Look under desktop development / button controls. Even if you don't use one exactly (which would be a shock), you can still get good ideas on how to do your button.
Good luck,
Iain.
Plz sir... CPallini CPallini abuz drugz, plz plz help urgent.

Thank you, but I still have a problem.
I have the GIFs that I have to load for the buttons. The GIFs have transparent background. I must have transparent background images on my toolbar buttons.
I can't obtain transparent background BMPs from those GIFs.
I was hopping that I can use the GIFs.
So, I can use only BMP and ICO for windows BUTTON class?

Luckily, I gave you a good answer - go have a proper read of the button section on codeproject. There you will find all sorts of owner-draw buttons.
Using the normal button class without doing extra work? Tough.

Just to follow up on what Iain said, here[^] is some sample code on OleLoadPicture.

hi all
Can you please help me with this basic pb
I have a structure
struct NameAndCode
{
char fName[10] ;
long fCode ;
} ;
after an sql query I get a list of NameAndCode NameAndCode **list
How can I add a new NameAndCode in the end of the list ? 
Thanks for help

do you use any STL containers by any chance ?
also, why do you use a pointer of pointer if you have a simple "list" ?
see if you can use std::vector<NameAndCode> instead

Hi
STL seems more familar for me
but does it mean, it's impossible to add a structure at the end of a pointer of pointer ?
hope you see my pb
thx for help

there are several points I don't get.
first, you didn't answered my previous question : why do you use a pointer of pointer if you have a simple "list" ?
also, if you're familiar with STL, why not using it ?
and to answer your question (which I don't think is the good design to follow though), no it's impossible to litteraly "add a structure at the end of a pointer to pointer". for that, you'll have to allocate a new area with a size of "last array"+1, then copy every old pointers address into the new "list", and add the pointer to your new struct at the end of the list. at last, don't forget to delete the old array.
but I still think you'd better use a vector. the std::vector::push_back() function will do this transparently for you...

Can you tell us what "list" are you using?

Hi
it's a pointer of pointer (NameAndCode **list)
|
|
|
|
|
That's not a list. It might be a pointer to an array of pointers. You need to see the documentation of whatever API that gives you that pointer to ponter.

Hello everyone,
Suppose I am executing in a function, how to print values for input parameters (binary memory value is ok) using WinDbg?
(suppose I am executing in a system API, and I do not know the exact input parameter name in source code?)
thanks in advance,
George
