Hi,

My program uses the libmysql.dll <- to access a MySQL database.

For my program to run, this dll needs to be with the program or in the system32 folder.
Is there anyway I can "Include" the DLL in my project? So I don't need to have the libmysql file laying around?

I know my program will be like 200 k bigger, but I really want to only have only one file, the EXE and not two the EXE and the libmysql.dll file

Thanks for your time.

Link the DLL statically to your exe. This will import all of the code into your DLL.

Thanks for the quick answer, but how do I do that in Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 ?

I did a little research, and it looks like usually you would create a static library from a new project. Or at least you could set a few command line compiler parameters for you DLL in order to make it a static library. Look up "Creating a Static Library" for more details on this.

As far as converting an existing dynamic lib file to a static file, I am not sure if this can be done or if there are tools in VC++ to do it. I would look in MSDN a little or search on Google.

Good Luck

Multiple item images for a tree control item

11-Oct-02 1:59

I hope it can be done..

Since I don't have access to the Project on the DLL I can't compile it as a static.

Hello,
I am attempting to assign a "Custom" state item image to a tree view item, however, I can't find any way to do so without having to provide my drawing funtionality. What I mean by "Custom" is having an alternate state assigned. For example, the following psuedo layout is what I am trying to obtain:

-- StateBitmap (Checkbox) - CustomStateBitmap - ItemBitmap - "Tree Item Text"

Not only am I attempting to have a "Checked" and "Unchecked" state, I would also like to allow my users to right click on this tree item and select a custom state to be set for this tree item. This custom state would correspond to the "CustomStateBitmap" above and would change dynamically.

This idea is enabling a secondary, standalone custom state, which only has meaning within the context of the application I am writing.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael

I don't think the tree view supports that many bitmaps per item.

You could combine the CustomStateBitmap and the ItemBitmap as a single bitmap, something like this:

+----------------+
| +----+  +----+ |
| | CS |  | IB | |
| +----+  +----+ |
+----------------+

Visually, the single bitmap looks like two bitmaps with a clear area between. Of course, this means you would have to have a set of bitmaps, one for each possible combination of "custom state" and "item".

CListCtrl selection color

Hello,

Is there a simple way to override the default selection format indication for a CListCtrl---or stop the selection from drawing? The default behavior is for the selected CListCtrl (report) item to be drawn with a dark system color while inversing the text to white. I would like to use an alternative drawing scheme to indicate that the item(s) is selected. I would rather not choose to draw the entire control myself.

thanks!

It's possible to do it using Custom Draw (without drawing the whole control). Take a look at "NM_CUSTOMDRAW (list view)" in the MSDN index.

Why do my drop down list want to automatically scroll back up when I'm trying to scroll down?

Is there some option that I have set to do this?

Thanks for the help!

Thats sounds very strange...did you override OnVScroll() with SetCurSel(0) inside the fucntion...?

This is all that I did...

CComboBox *pSelBox = (CComboBox *) GetDlgItem(IDC_SEL);

pSelBox->SetCurSel(-1);
pSelBox->SetItemHeight(2,40);
pSelBox->SetDroppedWidth(425);

Then I filled the list with a loop that adds strings..
pSelBox->AddString(desc[i]);

How can I get this thing to stop jumping around?

string question

Hello,
I am trying to replace or remove strA with in strB. The problem is that I want to start removing/replacing after a index.. Is there a way to do this??

Thanks!

If you mean replace after a certain index in strB, then why dont you determine what the substring in strB is with the index, and create substring C and use that to replace.

The string that needs to be modified is never the same.. I am trying to remove \par from a rich text string but only after a specific point.. here's the example..

String a;
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Arial;}}
{\colortbl ;\red255\green0\blue0;}
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\cf1\fs17 Hello this is a test
\par Hello this is a snd test
\par Woot
\par \cf0
\par }

String b;
Woot

String a after the remove;
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Arial;}}
{\colortbl ;\red255\green0\blue0;}
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\cf1\fs17 Hello this is a test
\par Hello this is a snd test
\par Woot
\cf0
}

I want to remove the 2 "\par "'s from string a.. but only after "Woot".

Note string a is not allways the same.. some times it has the color tag at the end and some times it doesn't.

Not tested, but:

void ReplaceAfterIndex(int nIndex, const CString& strOld, const CString& strNew, CString& rstrTarget)
{
   while ( (nIndex = rstrTarget.Find(strOld, nIndex)) >= 0 )
   {
      CString strTemp;
      if ( nIndex > 0)
         strTemp = rstrTarget.Left(nIndex);
      strTemp += strNew;
      if ( nIndex + strOld.GetLength() < rstrTarget.Length()-1 )
         strTemp += rstrTarget.Mid(nIndex, strOld.GetLength());
      nIndex += strOld.GetLength();
   }
}
