To create a DLL project, go to the "File" menu, select "New Project" and then "Class Library" - that will generate a DLL instead of an exe.

I'm not sure I really understand what you want the DLL to do but it sounds like a file open dialog, which you don't really need to have as a separate DLL unless it's going to do some other things with the file.

There are three kinds of people in the world - those who can count and those who can't...

To expand on molesworth's answer, Win32 provides GetOpenFileName[^] (let the user select a file/files) and SHBrowseForFolder[^] (let the user select a folder).

Both are usable from VB6, if htat's what you need:

SHBrowseForFolder[^]

GetOpenFileName[^] - this example's VB5(!), but VB6 and VB5 are similar enough...

I think you dont need to make a dll for it you can use of these apis on VB(Stuart Dootson' answer).

Any specific reason for creating dll, when you achive same by simply writing a function in your application?

Dear All

Thanks but my problems is different
A) I am not expert in C++
B) The software which we use calls only C++
C) i have checked the net where i found similar things but it creats only an exe whereas i wanted on DLL

What DLL i wanted is as soon i call the class it will open an opendialog like how it happend in windows the -->file->>open--> selcect the file -->>

Thanks in Advance

Can someone direct me to an article if this is possible.

I have 3 interloops in a process that takes about an hour or so to complete, based on the data it seems to be right.

However I have that process in it's own worker thread. I was wondering if that can be further multithreaded?

As you've mentioned a 'for' loop, I think OpenMP[^] is probably the simplest first thing to investigate, as it's aimed at that sort of thing[^].

Here's a CP article[^]...

Yes and No!, answer is based on software design, your company software architect can help in this case. It very difficult to answer this question from remote.

MoveNext ( )

I am deleting a record from the table and then using the MoveNext()fucntion to move to the next record in the recordset.Below is the code for that.
How do i do that using the code below ??

<pre>void CSimpdbView::OnRecordsDelete()
{
CSimpdbDoc* pDoc=GetDocument();
_CommandPtr pCmd;
pCmd.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Command));
_ParameterPtr paramIsbn;
CString strIsbn;

CEdit* pEdit = (CEdit*)GetDlgItem(IDC_ISBN);
pEdit->GetWindowText(strIsbn);
_bstr_t sqlQuery("DELETE FROM lib WHERE ISBN = ?");

int val = MessageBox("This deletes the record.Continue ?",NULL,MB_OKCANCEL);
if(val == IDOK)
{
try
{
pCmd->ActiveConnection = pDoc->m_pConnection;
pCmd->CommandText=sqlQuery;

paramIsbn = pCmd->CreateParameter("strIsbn",adVarChar,adParamInput,-1,vtMissing);
paramIsbn->Value = (_variant_t)strIsbn;
pCmd->Parameters->Append(paramIsbn);

pCmd->Execute(NULL,NULL,adCmdText);
MessageBox("Record Deleted !",NULL,MB_OK);
pRs->MoveNext(); //Should move to the next reccord !
}

catch(_com_error &e)
{
TRACE( "Error:%08lx.\n", e.Error());
TRACE( "ErrorMessage:%s.\n", e.ErrorMessage());
TRACE( "Source:%s.\n", (LPCTSTR) _bstr_t(e.Source()));
TRACE( "Description:%s.\n", (LPCTSTR)_bstr_t(e.Description()));
}
catch(...)
{
TRACE("\n****Unhandled Exception****\n");
}
}
}

Help Please . Confused | :confused:

What's wrong with the recordset's Delete method[^]? (Well, possibly this[^], it's something you need to check).

OMG!!

I m sorry i forgot to add the question to the post!!

Well, in the above code i m able to delete the record but i want it to show the next record once the record is deleted.For which i m using the pRs->MoveNext() method.
What i want to know is how do i do this ??

Stuart Dootson23-May-09 3:13

I think using the Delete method of the Recordset allows you to do just that without needing to worry about delete commands or anything like that. I guess you just need to open the recordset as read-write? This page[^] may provide more reassurance about that.

But isnt there a way where i could delete the record using sql query and then move to the next record and show it on GUI ? Confused | :confused:

Stuart Dootson23-May-09 4:24

23-May-09 4:24

I've just looked at your code properly - I presume pRS is a member of a class somewhere whose cursor points at the current record that a) you're displaying, and b) you want to delete?

If so, then this should work:

void CSimpdbView::OnRecordsDelete() 
{
   int val = MessageBox("This deletes the record.Continue ?",NULL,MB_OKCANCEL);
   if(val == IDOK)
   {
      try
      {
         pRs->Delete(adAffectCurrent);
         MessageBox("Record Deleted !",NULL,MB_OK);
         pRs->MoveNext(); //Should move to the next reccord !
      }

      catch(_com_error &e)
      {
         TRACE( "Error:%08lx.\n", e.Error());
         TRACE( "ErrorMessage:%s.\n", e.ErrorMessage());
         TRACE( "Source:%s.\n", (LPCTSTR) _bstr_t(e.Source()));
         TRACE( "Description:%s.\n", (LPCTSTR)_bstr_t(e.Description()));
      }
      catch(...)
      {
         TRACE("\n****Unhandled Exception****\n");
      }
   }
}

In my code i deleted the record using sql query as you can see,and i have declared :

ResultsetPtr pRs;

in the View.h file.So it is globally accessible.So in that case (making changes to the code you gave),i have to call the sql query

select * from lib_details where ISBN = ? ;

and then insert the parameter using command object and append function
and then call pRs->Open()
and then pRs->Delete(adAffectCurrent);
and then pRs->MoveNext(); //as you have mentioned in your code

I hope what i have mentioned is right.

But instead of this can i delete the record using sql query and then move to the next record ? if this is possible how can it be done ? and i guess it would be easier . Blush | :O

The term 'next record' has no meaning unless you've selected a bunch of records into a recordset. What I thought you had done (and would suggest you do) is select the records you are interested in (using a SELECT statement) into a record-set. Then the user can delete a record if they choose to (using the record-set's delete method, as I showed you) and you can move on to the record-set's next record. The record-set would be declared at class scope, so it is persistent across event handlers. Something like this (obviously this is a bare-bones sketch of what you'd use):

class MyDoc
{
   // other declarations
   _RecordsetPtr pRs;
  void SelectRecords(parameters) { /* create and initialise record-set */ }
};

class MyView
{
   void DisplayRecord() { /* Display the current record in GetDocument()->pRs; }
   void OnNextRecordButtonPressed() ( GetDocument()->pRs->MoveNext(); DisplayRecord(); }
   void OnDeleteRecordButtonPressed() ( GetDocument()->pRs->Delete(adAffectCurrent); OnNextRecordButtonPressed(); }
};

If the objcore.cpp in your MFC is like mine, you've got a bad object somewhere. Look at a) what the assertion in objcore say, b) which of your objects it is acting on, c) the call stack - that will show where in your program the assertion originates.
