Hi,

I would like to build an win32 application which sould not inherit from explorer.exe. By default all MFC/Win 32 applications are loaded in explorer.exe. so any crash of application is causing crash to explorer and vice versa..

So i need to find out a way where my application wont be loaded in explorer.

Thanks in advance.

I will tell you a trick, try to figure out where your application is crashing and why.
Fix the bug.

Obviosly i will do that. But that is not the only solution. It would be nice if we can luch programs with out inheriting from explorer.exe. I saw some apllication from some trusted venders used to do so.. they dont load their application on explorer.

Well, that's the case. I have no clue about what you mean by "inheriting explorer"... If your application crashes, explorer doesn't crash. They are two independant things, so why would they interfere ? Unless maybe you are talking about something specific like a shell extension ?

yeah.. not exactly inheriting.. but all the applications in window by default load on explorer, some thing like child process of explorer. And my application is also doing the same. But i saw some applications like MacAfee client are independent.

how to get text(caption) associated with IDs in MFC dialog based application?

13-Apr-09 20:24

CPropertySheet(
LPCTSTR pszCaption,
CWnd* pParentWnd,
UINT iSelectPage,
HBITMAP hbmWatermark,
HPALETTE hpalWatermark = NULL,
HBITMAP hbmHeader = NULL
);
See the parameters in bold. For setting the background you can override OnPaint message of your property sheet class

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

Re: how to get text(caption) associated with IDs in MFC dialog based application?

13-Apr-09 19:31

I have resource DLLs for my application. I'm loading DLL in my application. I want to get text associated with all the IDs.Longer way I know but that is quite hectic and not a good programming style.
I just want to know the shortcut code for that which uses some APIs and loads the text.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.......

Re: how to get text(caption) associated with IDs in MFC dialog based application?

Which method are you using to get id's from the resource dll?
LoadLibrary???

I am looking for the same.
Well how can I go there, I want to know the full code as I am new to it,so don't have much knowledge.
Something like AfxGetMainWnd-DlgCtrlId->
how can I do this?

If you are accessing Dialog item from DLL then DLL must have handle/pointer of CDialog class.
If you don't have then take one pointer of CDialog class & write one method in your DLL for setDialog(CDailog*)
So, at initialization of DLL you can specify CDialog pointer in that.

I hope this works for you.

Hi i am using CEDB to access windows CE datas.. Now i need to update the datas in CEDB.
code:
oid=CeSeekDatabaseEx(globalHDB,CEDB_SEEK_BEGINNING,seekcount,NULL,NULL);
I use it to seek in database for each cases i uses
case 0:
epropColumn[0].propid = CID_BOOKID;
cepropColumn[0].val.lpwstr=szBookID;
cepropColumn[0].wFlags = NULL;
cepropColumn[0].wLenData = 0;
to get the column values i use these cases for each column of the row.

Can any one help me to change only one value in the row.
for example
if i hav book id,book_name,author.
say
bk001,C++,martin
i need it to be changed as
bk001,Java,martin

A code snippet would be help ful.
Help me to trace it out.
Thanks in Advance.

you can do it like this Laugh | :laugh:

This line of code doesn't has error,
CreateFile("1.doc", GENERIC_READ,0, 0, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, 0)

My error code is here,
fileOut = CreateFile(folder[i] + "new.doc", GENERIC_WRITE,0, 0, CREATE_NEW, 0, 0)

I cannot write the string into the parameter 1 with only allow 'LPCSTR', and i tried to convert it, but i getting another error:
CXX0052: Error: member function not present

string path;
path = folder[i] + "new.doc";
fileOut = CreateFile(path.c_str(),GENERIC_WRITE,0, 0, CREATE_NEW, 0, 0);

any idea? thanks..
