You may also register it (programmatically) loading the corrensponding DLL and the calling DllRegisterServer.

I tried this[^] Google search got the following result (1st in list):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177531(VS.80).aspx[^]
What follows is a quote from the page:
The REGSVR sample is the source code to the existing REGSVR32.EXE utility. This utility is used to invoke the self-registration code built into ActiveX controls that adds or removes a control's information in the registry. Developers can use this sample to modify the behavior of the REGSVR32 utility.
Don't be afraid to use Google!

I have created dynamic buttons and loaded a plain bitmap on them. Now I want to place a text on those bitmapped buttons, how can we do that?
|
|
|
|
|
As far as i know the "default" buttons given to you by windows don't support both images and text on a button, so i'd say you have 3 possibilities:
1. Use a third party custom button which supports both text and image
2. Handle drawing of the button yourself, you have to be able to draw all its possible states, like pressed, disabled, ... and adding theme support is usually also a good idea
3. This is imho the easiest and simplest solution, draw the text onto the bitmap you place on the buttons. So load the bitmap, draw text on it and feed it to the button. If you need to change the text, load it again, draw the new text, feed it to the button.
I hope this helps, good luck.

Hi,
I have a few questions regarding the EditWordBreakProc callback function
Specically how to handle the return value for the Different codes
fo WB_ISDELIMITER if the current charcter is a delimter return 1
otherwise 0
but the other ???? WB_RIGHT ?? WB_LEFT ?? RIGHTBREAK LEFTBREAK
are they just for postioning the caret
What if all I am interested in the line break and highlighting the new
the first few postions of the new line ???
As in a dialog box displaying storage locations can I ignore the other
codes

Hi all,
I'm trying to write a c++ program that opens and plays a .avi file. I've managed to open it and play it, but I cant get the video to display - I know it's playing as I can hear the sound.
What do I need to do get the video to display? If I need to create my own window can you please post some code to help me with this, as I've been trying to do this but havent managed with success yet. If not, is there a way i can get it to open in windows media player or something?
Below is my code - thanks in advance
czk
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <mmsystem.h>
#include <conio.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "winmm.lib") // Link winmm.lib into the program
using namespace std;
int main()
{
MCIERROR err;
cout <<"Open video"<<endl;
err = mciSendString(L"Open C:\\video.avi type AVIVideo Alias Video", NULL,0,NULL);
if(err !=0 )
{
cout <<"Error";
}
cout <<"Play"<<endl;
err = mciSendString(L"Play C:\\video.avi wait",NULL,0,NULL);
if(err !=0 )
{
cout <<"Error";
}
cout <<"Close"<<endl;
mciSendString(L"Close C:\\video.avi",NULL,0,0);
return 0;
}</conio.h></mmsystem.h></windows.h></iostream>

try the following....
call mciSendString( _T( "put Video window at 0 0 400 400" ),NULL,0,NULL)
before mciSendString(L"Play C:\\video.avi wait",NULL,0,NULL);

Sorry about late reply, been on holiday...
I put that line of code after the play command and it worked a dream:
mciSendString(L"Open C:\\video.avi type AVIVideo Alias Video", NULL,NULL,NULL);
mciSendString(L"put Video window at 0 0 352 264",NULL,0,NULL);
I did get an error about vids:mp42 decompressor being missing. This codec is included with windows meadi player but apparently the later versions are direct show only (i'm using media player 11). However, I installed an older codec from here, http://www.moviecodec.com/downloads/28d.html[^], and it played the video correctly. Just thought i'd share that in case anyone else has the same problem.
Cheers for the help aks

Thank u 'code-o-mat' for ur advice and link, but i want to make this device to discover my own world, i want to read book on my own pdf reader, but i am not so sure about the hardware structure, circuit diagram, circuit operation, software including operation, and many other things, if u any one have known any ebook in any website about this content,and any kind of tips please,, please let me know.if possible attach to my e-mail 'mammun_cse_iu00@yahoo.com', u will not believe but i have already had sufficient dream about this device  And i have made my mind to make it possible, by learning necessary things, like c++ and electronics topics, i want all of the members co-operational hand about my discovery on my own ship,for my own island.. As Columbus discovered America but before his discovery America was still there.. Thanks...

Wow, for being a new student on computer science that seems to be a BIG project, however, these things can surely help you:
-your best friend, Google[^]
-Wikipedia[^]
-studying available source code, open-source PDF readers/writers like this one[^].
p.s: I supose you know there already are PDF readers for ebooks and you are not trying to reinvent the wheel but to learn about the wheel. Good luck.

Hi Horizzzon,
How's it been?
If you are completely new, I rather think this is a very ambitious project for you to do in C++. If you're out to proceed, have a look at Haru[^]
I somehow feel that it must be relatively easier for you to use something like iTextSharp[^] instead and write your app in .NET (vb?)
Good luck.

My project is about monitoring four sensor measurement from USB port.
In each sensor give me the data for plot graph in the same client area.
Because it is high speed input data (less than millisecond),so I separate each sensor data that I get in four thread and each thread use same client area to plot the graph.
So,It possible in each thread will plot the graph on client area in the same time.
My question is that when this occur the program will crash or not?
if the answer is "crash".
What about when I separate view in four view by splitter but same mainframe?
if the answer still "crash".
Please advise me the solution for this issue.

There can be a "crash" when multiple threads access the same resource. In your case it is the device context of the view.
You must use a critical section to lock the drawing code so that a thread cannot draw to the DC till other threads have released it.

What about separate it to different process and different plot client area.
Is it still crash ?
|
|
|
|
|
Then it will not because now there is no client areas being shared by multiple threads.

Can you give me some technic for mix multiple process and show on different client area but all process run on same program.

Hi
My application (say App.exe) is supposed to be launched by another process called Laucher.exe since some environment variables are needed to be set for App.exe to run. I am using CreateProcess API in Launcher.exe to set the necessary environment variables.
I had written a sample earlier where in both by Launcher.exe and App.exe were non-unicode (built in VC 6.0). But, currently I have moved to VS 2008 which where in the application comes with unicode settings by default. I have converted both Launcher.exe and App.exe to Unicode, but I am having a problem to use CreateProcess in Launcher.exe to launch App.exe
Since my App.exe is in unicode I think we have to set the lpEnvironment (in CreateProcess to CREATE_UNICODE_ENVIRONMENT flag) But just setting this and using the API the same way fails to launch my App.exe.
I could not find sufficient links on the internet which explain how to use this flag and launch the application in a unicode environment
Can somebody help me out if you have used this in advance?
Thanx
Vipin

After reading your question, I'm guessing your real problem is that CreateProcess API is failing in UNICODE builds. And that in the earlier NON_UNICODE builds it was successful.
If so, your title is very misleading.
Actually there is a difference in how you would call CreateProcess in UNICODE and NON-UNICODE builds.
In UNICODE builds, the lpCommandLine parameter of CreateProcess cannot be a constant because it will be modified internally. So you need to pass in a non-constant buffer here.
This is documented in MSDN, but you would need to read it properly, which most of us do not do.

Hi,
I am a retired social worker who creates eLearning materials that are given away to help people improve their health and to teach social work students. I need to create an unmanaged DLL that can be used to add drawing within an eLearning app which is capable of loading unmanaged DLL's and calling their functions, if these are specified.
On CodeProject, there is an excellent drawing DLL http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/Basic_Drawing_Plug_in.aspx[^][^]but it is in C# which I suspect is managed code and not able to be loaded or functions called in the eLearning app.
As a novice in coding (have been trying to learn using MS's Express editions for VC++ and C#, which is a very steep learning curve for me), I am lost tyring to figure out a way to convert the C# to VC++, figure out the function calls so they can be scripted into the eLearning app, etc. With very limited understanding and skills, I keep getting error messages for whatever I try.
Any suggestions, leads, help in converting to unmanaged code plus specifying the function calls would be greatly appreciated. (Wrote to the DLL's author but have not heard back).
Thanks.
Kind Regards,
writer
