Have you tried debugging the DLL from within Visual Studio (most likely by attaching to the tester, if it's a process, or Excel, if it's hosting the tester library) and seeing exactly what's going on behind the scenes?

Is it returning a BOOL or a bool? I'll wager the DLL returns a bool (a one byte value), but Excel is looking at the value as an int (a 4 byte value.)

(The reason it may have "broken" is simply due to how the code was compiled between the two compilers since I've seen VC++ 6 display this behavior.)

To the first question, yes, that is why I built the Excel tester. That's how I know the 'return false;' statement does nothing.

To the second question, I actually have several DLLs that return in the same way, and some of them still work, while some of them get stuck returning true. On the BOOL vs bool, in the C++ code it's a 'bool' and in the tester it's looking for a VBA 'Boolean'. Though with some of the DLLs working correctly, and the others not, I don't think that has anything to do with the bug.

I can't totally confirm this, but some sources state that a VBA Boolean is 4 bytes (another said it was 2 bytes).

Using Len() and LenB() in VBA, the size of a Boolean is 2 bytes. Here[^] it says the size of a C++ bool is 1 byte. For my problem, I can just return an int, 1 or 0, instead of true/false, and get around it. But Why would the size difference between bools cause this problem?

A value is returned in the eax/ax/al register. Because a one byte bool only has to zero out the register al (xor al, al). The high bits of the [e]ax register may be set to a non-zero value.

Ultimate Grid in an ActiveX - TOOL TIPS not working....

Hi All,

Seems that, despite the incredibly easy steps of getting HINTS (tool tips) going using ultimate grid, they don't seem to want to show up.
We have done the following:

1. Added UseHints(TRUE); to the OnSetup() func.
2. Wrote code to handle a tooltip in the OnHint() handler.

Could this be because the Grid is being put into an ActiveX control and there is some crazy windowing issue happening here?

Any help would be great,

Jt

Treeview selected item background [Solved]

When an item in a treeview is selected it is colored blue. But if you set the focus on another control the selected item keeps selected but has no visual clue for this, you can't see which is selected. Is there a way to change the background of the selected item using WinAPI-function and/or C(++) only?

Thanks

Try adding the TVS_SHOWSELALWAYS style to your tree control.

Hey

I want to extract a string from a text file.

The file name is "info.txt"

Inside the text file there is a field called, "Age = 23"

Now i want to extract that "23" from the Age.

I know its easy to do that on an ini file, with its key name.

But how to do that on a text file.

If you're using MFC, you can use CStdioFile or CFile. With Win32, you could use ReadFile() or use the C++ stream functions as well. I'm picking the easiest and showing you an example:

CStdioFile csf;
CFileException cfe;
if(!csf.Open(_T("C:\\Temp\\rough.txt"), CFile::modeRead, &cfe))
{
	AfxMessageBox(_T("Unable to open the file"));
	return;
}
CString szBuffer;
csf.ReadString(szBuffer);
int nFind = szBuffer.Find(_T("="));
AfxMessageBox(szBuffer.Mid(nFind+1)); //Will display 23

Contents of file:

age = 23

CToolBarCtrl::GetToolBarCtrl();

I am changing my application to use the Feature Pack 2008 to get the new "look". One of the problems I ran into, is How to change the GetToolBarCtrl()? Here is a snippet:

////Before
CToolBar m_wndGraphToolBar;
CToolBarCtrl *pGraphToolBarCtrl;
pGraphToolBarCtrl = & m_wndGraphToolBar.GetToolBarCtrl();
pGraphToolBarCtrl->HideButton(nID, TRUE );

But when I change CToolBar to CMFCToolBar, I get: 'GetToolBarCtrl' : is not a member of 'CMFCToolBar' ?
How do I replace this? Anyone ran into this one?

Thanks

in C++, the default struct assignment operator does a member-wise assignment from src to dest. and vector's default assignment operator will copy the contents of the src vector to the dest, automatically.

so, no, you shouldn't have to do any push_backs.

I've just googled your "question" and found a few implementations.

Since I'm no expert on polynomial additions, I cannot say if they are good or not.

Have fun looking at them and adapt them to your particular situation.
