Is it possible to configure the visual studio 6 interface so, that language doesn't matter?

I always get language errors when I want to re-open the resource after transferring the project to another machine. After the error, the resource doesn't load anymore. It says something about french language, but I've never ever installed something regarding a french language, and both win98 are english versions.

Can somebody help me out here?

error msg: Code page 1252 is required to support a french language resource in this file ...

There are absolutely NO french resources in my project, but after compiling the resource, and opening it with a text editor, the resource is filled with loads of french bullshit I've never asked for. So, it's visual studio that adds this by itself. How can I change this???

Open up the project .dsp (or maybe .dsw) You should find a line that sets the language. Something like:

<blanguage=french>

Just delete it. I had this problem with some code from China several years ago. Unfortunately, I don't remember the details.

How to display icon under this situation?

I have use the sdk to create and show a skined window , and it runs well . But the only problem is since I create the window using the WS_POPUP style( is this the reason ?) , there isn't any icon being shown when the application has been minimized ( I have set an icon in the window class ), what I need is that when I minimized my skined-window , an specified icon should be shown on its left side , the bar on the taskbar( you know , most of the window do like this. )
How can I do this ?

Look up WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW vs. WS_EX_APPWINDOW. Use the latter to get a tab ("button") in the taskbar.

Hello world...
Anybody have a good idea to control the errors in a program?
I often return an error ID from a function...
I've already use Exception but I found that not very usefull...
I've tried with a specific thread which uses a loop. Like this:

volatile int error = 0;  // global
CEvent g_eventStart;  // global

UINT CatchErrorThread(LPVOID pParam)
{
   CWnd* MyDlg = CWnd::FromHandle((HWND)pParam);
   do {
      ::WaitForSingleObject(g_eventStart, INFINITE);
      g_eventStart.ResetEvent();
      switch(error) {
      case 0:
         break;
      case 1:
         MyDlg->MessageBox("error message 1", "catch error", MB_ICONERROR | MB_OK);
         break;
      case 2:
         MyDlg->MessageBox("error message 2", "catch error", MB_ICONERROR | MB_OK);
         break;
      default:
         MyDlg->MessageBox("unknown message", "catch error", MB_ICONERROR | MB_OK);
         break;
      }
   } while(error != 0);
   return 0;
}

There is not another solution to make pass the errors???
Anybody have another solution???

Thanks in advance...

Pretty hard to tell what this code is supposed to accomplish. Is the variable error assigned somewhere? It appears to be undefined in your code. Maybe you need something like

int error = g_eventStart.ResetEvent();

although that is just a guess. The code you presented would, of course, not even compile, unless error is some kind of global, set by the ResetEvent method?

</small>

This makes it sound like you are trying to use a thread in a loop to perform the same function as exception handling. Sorry, but that makes absolutely no sense. Handling errors is one topic, but I fail to see what a separate thread has to do with anything.

I think you should try harder with exceptions.

My aim is to catch an error ID and display a message error corresponding to this ID. I try to find any methods who can help me...

My code before work correctly...
the variable error is global.
When a error occure (for example a NULL handle is an error), I do this :

if(!MyHandle) {
   error = ERR_001; // with #define ERR_001 1
   g_eventStart.SetEvent();  // I display the error message with this ID
}

The advantage is that I can do that in my program anywhere.

But, yes, I'm a not an expert with Exception...
Thus this thread with his loop is doing the same thing as Exception!
I didn't know that!

What methods use you to catch error?

thanks

You could do something like this...

in the calling program

   try {
      int x = SomeProcedure();
...

   }
   catch (CMyException *e)
   {
     // Do something with the error return
        LogError(e->nMyErrorNum....

     delete e;
   }



int SomeProcedure()
{
   n = new CMyClass();
   if (!n)  {
       CMyException* pErr = new CMyException(TRUE);
       pErr->errNum = ERRORNUMBERIWANTTOUSE;
       throw pErr;
   }
...


Define class CMyException

class CMyException : public CException {
   int nMyErrorNum;

...




 

Hope this helps

Urgent help on Toolbars

haroonaslam15-Sep-02 21:02

Toolbars position on parent size
I have a problem with the position of the toolbars. For a better discription, open wordpad. Dock the toolbars side by side so that they both are in the same row. Now resize the main frame window so that to reduce the size from the right side to the left. Reduce to the smallest possible horizontal width. Notice that the second toolbar that you docked on the right of the first one has moved down. Now resize to increase the size. Notice that the toolbar is NOT moved back to right of the first toolbar. i.e. to its original position before reducing size.
I need to reposition it when the size is increased. Also, I need the docking support on all sides of frame, dynamic size and dock state toggle on double click, so simple rebar cannot be used.
MS Office uses the msoCommandBar which does all the desired, but i cant use it as i dont have its class, control or documentation.
The environment I am using is Visual C++ 6.0 with sp5.

Any ideas how this can be done?

How to detect and reset an AudioStream?

DengJW15-Sep-02 19:55

DengJW

15-Sep-02 19:55

I am developing a mediaplayer by customising Windows Mediaplayer Control. The mediaplayer should have the ability to detect whether there is already an audio playback running on the Windows 98/2000. If there is one running, the mediaplayer should stop it and start to run its own.

I know there is a property in Mediaplayer control which is called AudioStream, the value of which has been set to -1 be default. But I don't know how to make use of it.

Any help are greatly appreciated.
