Hello
Is it possible to convert .cpl to .msc?
Or the other way around? (if the other way around, I need a way to list only specify ones, such as .msc does with there MMC.
Would appreciate any advice.
Thanks in advance,
Panarchy

Not without significant rewriting, I'd have thought. An msc is a DLL implementing a specific set of COM interfaces, whereas a CPL is a DLL exporting a specific function[^] that responds to specific Windows messages. And that's ignoring the fact that Vista introduces a new style of Control Panel item[^]...
Architect the thing right (layer it so the UI-independent stuff, i.e. the actions you want the control panel item or MSC to do, are decoupled from the UI part of the code) and the task should be a lot simpler.

The purpose of this conversion, is that I would like an MMC with;
- Disk Management
- System Properties (only need to know RAM)
- Scheduled Tasks
- The backup directories
Currently I only know how to add Disk Managment to an MMC, and I can't work out how to add the other tools I need.
Please help me create, or find, the tools which I need.
Thanks in advance,
Panarchy

I reckon you're out of luck there - without source code, I don't know of any way that you can get CPLs to run in the MMC.

I see.
Well could you please help me create an MMC with MSC SnapIns which can do the following;
☑ Checks RAID (or Opens Disk Management)
☐ Checks and shows to the screen how much RAM (in GB) within local machine
☐ Checks Scheduled Tasks (or just opens up the folder within an MMC window)
☐ Opens up the Backup Directory (there are 3 different backup directories, only 1 exists at a time, so will need if & else commands here)
Thanks in advance,
Panarchy

You really don't ask for much, do you....I would suggest you start here[^] and learn how to do it yourself - you'll find it a lot more educational that way.

In Recordset::Open(const _variant_t & Source,const _variant_t & ActiveConnection,
enum CursorTypeEnum CursorType,enum LockTypeEnum LockType,long Options );
the function takes a _variant_t Source and _variant_t ActiveConnection as values.
But even if i create a _bstr_t connstr("Data Source= LibDB;"";,"";");
and a _bstr_t sqlQuery("SELECT * FROM lib_book_details ORDER BY ISBN");
and use it in Open(sqlQuery,connstr,adOpenDynamic,adLockOptimistic,adCmdText);
It still takes a _bstr_t.
Why doesnt the compiler throw an error ? 
|
|
|
|
|
_variant_t has a constructor that takes a constant reference to a _bstr_t object.
What is happening here is an implicit conversion from _bstr_t to _variant_t.

In that case,why does it not take a _variant_t value.
Cause when i try to change the _bstr_t sqlQuery(...) to _variant_t sqlQuery(...) and then pass it to the Recordset->Open(...)function it gives a compile error : error C2664: 'Open' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class _variant_t' to 'class _bstr_t'
Why is that so ??

|
|
|

Are you sure this error is on that same line?
Is this the call for an ADO recordset?

i think even u would get this error if u try it in ur program.I have checkd it its the same line that gives an error.

It shouldn't. Could you please post the relevant code (i.e. recordset declaration, ecc..)?

Interesting - when I try an equivalent bit of code:
#import "libid:B691E011-1797-432E-907A-4D8C69339129" no_namespace rename("EOF", "adoEOF")
_RecordsetPtr rs;
rs.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Recordset21));
_variant_t connstr("Data Source= LibDB;"";,"";");
_variant_t sqlQuery("SELECT * FROM lib_book_details ORDER BY ISBN");
rs->Open(sqlQuery, connstr, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdText);
it compiles successfully with VS2008. I would use Visual Studio's 'Go To Declaration' feature (right-click on Open) to see how your Open method is declared.

I am building my application with the standard PNG shared
library , libpng.so.
But at the time of linking it is giving me undefined references error pertaining to
some symbols.
When I checked the object file(libpng.so) with the "nm" command
I saw that these variables were local variables of the library.
I want to know if there is any linking option that I can use
to be able to access them during the linking ?

If my understanding is correct 'local' means 'not exported', i.e. 'private'. Why do you want to gain access to private symbols?

I'm working on a pizza store in VS 2005. I set up the design and member variables correctly(I think). I have no idea how to work on the coding now. I have radio buttons for the size of the pizza and check boxes for the toppings. I also have edit boxes for the name, address, and phone number. Also, I should add a calculate button. How would you set up a member variable for a button? When I click the button I want it to display in the summary edit box the person's info first, then the size and toppings(along with their prices) and then the total price. Can anyone help? Does anyone maybe know of any free tutorials on dialog-based stores?

For check-boxes, right-click on the control and select 'Add variable' in the context menu. Make sure the 'Control variable' box is unchecked.
The procedure for radio buttons is slightly different - see the MSDN page[^].
It seems you now have to add DDX_whatever calls into your dialog's DoDataExchange method for value variables (which is a pain in the behind - I though Visual Studio did it for you), so here are some examples:
DDX_Check(pDX, IDC_CHECK1, c1);
DDX_Radio(pDX, IDC_RADIO1, values);
DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_EDIT1, edit);
DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_RICHEDIT21, rich);
Now, for the calculate button - for buttons like that, you add an 'OnClicked' method. The easiest way to do that is to double-click on the button in the MFC dialog editor - Visual Studio will add the handler automatically.
In the handler, the first thing to do is to call UpdateData(TRUE), to get the values of controls into your member variables. Now you can calculate a string holding your summary information, assign to to the string variable associated with your edit box and finally call UpdateData(FALSE) to push the string value into the member variable values into the controls:
void CMyDialog::OnBnClickedCalculate()
{
UpdateData(TRUE);
m_summaryValue = m_firstName + " " + m_secondName + ", " + m_address + whatever else you want;
UpdateData(FALSE);
}
Hope that helps!

I'll look into that, thanks.
By the way, do you know how to delete previous member variables that I created? I don't think I set up my MV's for check boxes correctly.

Remove their declarations and all references to them from the dialog's .cpp and .h files with the text editor. The 'Find All References' command (right-click on the variable in the text-editor) is useful for that (if you can't see that menu command, it's possible it's VS2008 only - I don't have VS2005 installed).

what about 'Scribble'. It's free with the Compiler.

Any ideas how I could implement something like this:
void a_main() { ; }
#define b(fn) a##fn()
int main()
{
b(__FUNCTION__);
return 0;
}Hope you get the idea, since I'm not good at explaining. Anyway, the point is to have the preprocessor to generate the function name for you, or something similar.
Thanks!
EDIT: Oh yeh, obliviously this doesn't work, because preprosessor isn't processing __FUNCTION__ to a umm.. usable text, instead the preprosessor will process it later to a string.
