Otherwise my compiler complains...
------------------------------------------
error C2664: 'LoadImageW' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'char *' to 'LPCWSTR'
And It shows LoadImageW!!
------------------------------------------
Casting with (LPCWSTR) at least made my code compilation error free....

But that does not always mean it's the right thing to do. Have you tried prefacing the string literal with an L?

This error C2664 predicts your runtime error; this is the reason.
You should change the path encoding from ascii to unicode.
|
|
|
|

I'd say you're passing an Ansi string to something expecting Unicode (ie: wide strings).
Try:
L"C:\\barcode.bmp" or
_T("C:\\barcode.bmp")

Thank you Ian...It worked
And David thanks to you also....

Should be (as implicitely suggested by David)
m_hBitmap = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(NULL, _T("c:\\barcode.bmp"),IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,LR_LOADFROMFILE);

Hi all,
As you probably know, there is a problem with CString types in CList, CMap or CArray with regards to serialization. I have attempted to remedy this by overriding void AFXAPI SerializeElements. Before I post my code though, I'd like to ask if any other MFC container class can serialize CStrings correctly, for example CTypedPtrList? I'm not real particular on the container class for my current app and figuring out the peculiarities of serialize is exhausting.
The problem with the code below is that even after overriding SerializeElements, I get a mem copy error when doing a serialize load operation. A breakpoint in SerializeElements is never hit so for some reason it's not being used. I also have a serialize() function for the base class elements but it's not used either, presumably because all base elements are CSTRINGs? There are 2 classes, one for the base elements and another with the CList and functions. BTW, the functions that save and load the list are called from inside the Doc class serialize function.
Thanks in advance -

Ok,
I put a breakpoint inside the MS version of SerializeElements and it hit. So as suspected my version is not being used.
I guess I don't really understand how to override SerializeElements so the code uses my version. What are the rules?
The CList is still required to use .Serialize() of course.
Thanks

Ok,
Need to review Templates. You have to make the template explicit by adding the class name before (.

Is it possible to make the shell notify you when the user opens a folder and eventually prevent it? I am trying to build a folder guard app. Notification objects does not seem to cover this functionality. The ICopyHook interface also seems like not the solution. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

See this article[^] by Raymond Chen? Although not exactly the same situation, the advice is still applicable.

Yes, just use a SW hook (classic code, Win32)

Hi Gurus,
I have a simple application, which pops a message box if it is invoked in a pre-logon mode (i.e. when the system displays the login screen).
How do I get to know if the application is invoked before the user is logged on??
I tried using
GetProcessWindowStation() - but this doesn't help.
NOTE: The application will be invoked from a service.
Thanks in advance.

How about GetUserName() or NetWkstaGetInfo(102) or <code>NetWkstaUserEnum() ?

Hello,
I have written automation to start excel charts but the createdispatch doesnt start excel
_Application app;
if(!app.CreateDispatch(CreateDispatch("Excel.Application")
{
AfxMessageBox(
"Couldn't start Excel and get an application 0bject");
return;
}
wht can be the problem

This is both syntactically wrong and just plain weird looking. How about:
COleException e;
if (! app.CreateDispatch("Excel.Application", &e))

Did you remember to call AfxOleInit()?

Hello
Oh sorry CreateDispatch was written twice
I wrote
if(!app.CreateDispatch("Excel.Application"))
{
AfxMessageBox("Couldn't start Excel and get an application 0bject");
return;
}
The above is not working

Why not? Are you looking at the exception object (specificaly it's getter method) like I suggested?

Hello
Yes still excel doesnt start
COleException e;
if(!app.CreateDispatch("Excel.Application",&e))
{
AfxMessageBox("Couldn't start Excel and get an application 0bject");
return;
}
i wrote the above

Did you somehow think that simply creating the object would make it all better? What's the "value" of e?
What type of object is app?

it is like this
_Application app;
e is not initialised
|
|
|
|

Ok, and how did you go about creating the _Application class? In other words, how did you import it from Excel's type library? See the latter part of this article for one way.
