It never hurts to take a look at the documentation[^] you know.

In this case you should really learn the basics first and then start thinking about customization.

Change function prototype in IDL

Hello everyone,

When I change the prototype of a function in IDL, for example, change a type of a parameter or add a new parameter, the _i.h file generated from the IDL by MIDL is updated with the change, but the actual function declaration and implementation code in ATL server is not updated with the change, correct?

So, the solution is to manually change (e.g. change a type of a parameter or add a new parameter) for the function declaration and implementation code? Or there is some automatic ways to sync the change (like when change the IDL, _i.h is changed)?

regards,
George

Hi, i got a question, and av strugled enough tyms tryn to have this.
you know the way when you click on a combo box's arrow at the end a small list shows again with two other arrows that enable you to scroll the small list,
i have tried make combo box without scroll bars, but this still gives me the short list, that can only be scrollled with the keyboards up down arrows.
i haven't posted my question yet, sorry for the delay..
this is it, how do i achieve those combo boxes that i see, that shows a very long list, with like 20 or 30 items.no scroll bars.
thank you in advance.

The only solution i can think as of now is to adjust the size of list of combo box in the resource such that it will fit your long list.

Sandip.

You have to make a longer drop list in the resource editor: when your control is placed, click on the arrow, and you will be able to adjust the size of the drop list (instead of the size of the control itself). Make it big enough to show the number of items you would like.

Hello everyone,

I have checked in all of my VC 2008 project, there is only PDB no DBG file.

My question after reading this link,

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/121366/en-us

1. Do we still need to use DBG file?

2. If yes, any benefits compared with only using PDB file?

thanks in advance,

This is code from that link.

// String buffer for holding the path.
TCHAR strPath[ MAX_PATH ];

// Get the special folder path.
SHGetSpecialFolderPath(
    0,       // Hwnd
    strPath, // String buffer.
    CSIDL_DESKTOPDIRECTORY, // CSLID of folder
    FALSE ); // Create if doesn't exists?

In the above code you have to replace bold parameter with the one you are interested in.
In your case CSIDL_APPDATA /CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA what ever you need..

Sandip.
