I guess only c functions exported from the dll can be called from VB.

You can call a c function exported in a c/c++ dll from a VB application. And to export a c function all you have to do is put the following keywords in front of the function to export as shown below

extern "C" __declspec( dllexport ) void AnotherCFunc();

extern "C" - is used to avoid the name mangling

As I said before you cannot call a c++ class's member function from a vb app.

If you haven't DLL source code then you can't. However, you may develop (with C/C++) a new DLL that will act as wrapper of the original one (i.e. an adapter [^]). For details on building a VB6 callable DLL, see this great article series [^].

Hi ,
In my application I am using NOTIFYICONDATA structure to show tool tip. here the szTip can only contain 128 charecter. Is there any other way to use more charecters in tool tip?

Thanks in advance.

Not using the standard shell32 tooltip. I'm afraid that you will have to use a custom tooltip if you require additional features. There are a few articles here on codeproject which could be used.

By the way szTip can only contain 64 characters and not 128.

in the handler of your button in dialog A (the first dialog), just create the second dialog.

for modal dialog:

void MyDialogA::OnButton()
{
  MyDialogB dlg;
  dlg.DoModal();
  // ...
}

for modeless dialog:

class MyDialogA
{
// ... 
  MyDialogB* m_pDialogB;
}

void MyDialogA::OnButton()
{
  if ( m_pDialogB)
    delete m_pDialogB;
  m_pDialogB = new MyDialogB;
  m_pDialogB->Create(IDD_DIALOG_B/*...*/);
  m_pDialog->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
  // ...
}

Here is a generic example on how to get elapsed time:

CTime startTime;
CTime endTime;
CTimeSpan elapsedTime;

On LBUTTONDOWN: startTime = CTime::GetCurrentTime();

On LBUTTONUP: endTime = CTime::GetCurrentTime();
elapsedTime = endTime - startTime;
int timeout = elapsedTime.GetSeconds();

Also probably you can use GetCurrentMessage which contains a DWORD value which gives the time the message was posted. Note that you should only call this from event handlers. So call this from mouse up and mouse down.

Given the complete and utter lack of error checking, the root cause could be any of the statements before the record set open call. Check the status values to see where the error actually occurs, and then ask your questions...

my problem solved once I changed the char variable table to just EmployeeDetails but still want the ability to use select for more functionality.

Is it a little bit different in visual studio 2008.

I think it's the adCmdTable parameter - that says the command you're opening is a table. This page[^] documents the other options, while this page[^] suggests you want adCmdText if you want to use a SELECT statement as the command text.

If the dialog is modal, it will get destroyed when you click OK or Cancel.
