Can you call it's Refresh() or Refresh2() method?

I have tried Refresh()

But it erases everything, even those created after Refresh is called

The most obvious reason for a new article to be deleted is that it did not pass moderation (i.e. was not considered to be of suitable quality for the site). Common mistakes include poor grammar, inadequate explanations and posting code snippets which duplicate MSDN content.

That being the case, I would suggest taking a good look at the article (you did keep a copy, didn't you?) and working out how to improve it. As a guideline, take a look at highly rated (say over 4.5) articles on the site to ee what is expected.

Once you consider it up to par, feel free to re-submit it.

Because they didn't pass moderation. I guess some people posted things in the message boards of your articles, they probably told you what was wrong with your articles.

My article was also deleted. I was hoping to use it as a future reference as well. God damn this site. It suck balls. Their article search is also FAIL. When you try to browse through articles, you'll see that the pages go on to infinity. I'm going to boycott this site now. I thought my articles would be able to help developers in the future too.

hi ,
Im using the below code....

/*the below is the ini file i used..

[name]
name1=promod
name2=praneeth

*/

const int SIZE = 8000;

CString csSectionname=_T("name");

char lpszBuffer[SIZE];

CString csString;

::GetPrivateProfileSectionW(csSectionname,(LPWSTR)lpszBuffer,SIZE,_T(c:\\testing.ini");

char* NextSection="";

NextSection=lpszBuffer;

while(*NextSection!=NULL)
{
csString=NextSection;
NextSection=NextSection+strlen(NextSection)+1;
AfxMessageBox(csString);
}

But the messagebox prints only single letter at once instead of displaying key and value pair....

ie messagebox is displaying 'n'--->first time..
is displaying 'a'--->second time
.
.
.
.
i need messagebox to display name1=promod for the first time itself.....

Please help me out......

do you increment it anywhere ?

and i suspect, as David Crow notes below, that you're mixing Unicode and ANSI strings. GetPrivateProfileStringW is returning a wide char string, but NextSection is a char* pointer (not a wchar_t*), so it's only looking at one byte at a time:

GetPrivateProfileStringW gives you this:
n\0a\0m\0e\0 ... a NULL after each letter

if you need to use GetPrivateProfileStringW, then NextSection should be a wchar_t*, not a char*.

and, you'll need to build your project in Unicode to get AfxMessageBox to handle wide chars.

You are mixing Unicode and MBCS (which is legal if you know how to do it). Most applications use one or the other. See here for more.

You're calling the unicode function but you're passing in ANSI char arrays. You should be using WCHAR types not char.

How do you trap windows messages in a native DLL?. I know how to do it in a console application.exe but not in a DLL. I want to use WndProc and filter by WM_KEYDOWN so I don't miss any messages.

Yes, but indirectly. In other words, if you start/stop devices that use said power supply, you have effectively controlled it.

Probably, maybe, not really. It depends too much on what the requirement is. I try to suggest to people with questionable questions to first try and then come back when they hit a problem. In your case I'll make a special exception.
