I downloaded the sample at the link you gave, and its missing

#include "htmlhelp.h"

No such file exists. I thought maybe its a windows file, but I dont have one on my machine. Any ideas?

Thanks,
ns

Static libraries

Zizilamoroso23-Sep-02 4:00

Help, I'm a bit lost creating my very own static library.

I've created a .lib with one header file and one source file. It contains only one function (for testing). The header file includes windows.h and stdio.h, mainly for things like LPCTSTR which I want to add later on.

The header file has the #if !defined ... #define declared so redefinition is out of the question.

Now, when I want to use this library in another application, I've got to include the library's header file. The library itself is added through add to project -> files... in the project menu of vc++. So far, so good.

Trying to compile the testapp, results in these linker errors. Why?

Linking...

You need to have either anything as debug or anything as release. Same is for multithreaded and singlethreaded.
Check your application project settings: the 'Debug' configuration HAS TO link against a 'Debug'-version of your lib, and the 'Release' HAS TOuse a 'Release'-lib.
Likewise for 'singlethreaded' vs. 'multithreaded'. So you may end up with 4 differing configurations for your project.

Re: Static libraries

Zizilamoroso23-Sep-02 4:59

Everything is debug.

And for the single-multithread, I've never messed with them so it's not very likely going to be that...

I've left this out of the library source file, cause it didn't compile otherwise.

#ifdef _DEBUG
	#undef THIS_FILE
	static char THIS_FILE[]=__FILE__;
	#define new DEBUG_NEW
#endif

But then, if we compile both as release, the errors are still there.

Oops...

Forgot to mention that the app is mfc. Now I've selected mcf-dynamicaly instead of no mfc in the library config, although the library itself does NOT use mfc.

it works Smile | :)

Man, I'm only trying to help, don't get hostile... OMG | :OMG:

OMG | :OMG:

Well, another idea, try to open the INI not using registry function (FILE, CFile, istream*...). Read lines, one by one and look for '[' and ']' (use strtok, or something).
Locate them and cout. That's about it.

Notify me if works(or not).

Update Statusbar from a non-window class method.

I have written a class in a seperate file which I want access to the statusbar. How do I change the message in the statusbar from this class? I have included the "stdafx.h" in the class I defined.

If what you want is a value being displayed in the status bar (like coordiantes in a picture-editor), try this:
You set a variable in your CDocument class.
This variable is then displayed via a ON_COMMAND_UPDATE_UI-handler in either your main frame or your view.

Thanks for your reply, jhwurmbach!

I think I have to repharase my question. I have written a class method which does all the screen output, but the output is onto the screen via "cout". Now, I am trying to rewrite this class such that I could output my message onto the statusbar in windows instead. I understand that "CView" is the one that handles the output in windows. I am trying to change my original DOS-output class to a windows-output class one. I hope u can understand what I am trying to say. U have any suggestion?
