I didn't know about that, I thought it should be "standard", but... one possibility could be to get the version of windows and adapting your coordinates to the differences.
I use German Windows, by printing or previewing I use:
pDC->SetMapMode (MM_LOMETRIC);
pDC->TextOut (pInfo->m_rectDraw.left, 50 - pInfo->m_rectDraw.bottom, pDoc->GetPathName());
With this I print the path of the file at the bottom of the page.
You say the Y orientation changes between countries, then my
50 - pInfo->m_rectDraw.bottom should change and be pInfo->m_rectDraw.bottom - 50 for US, shouldn't it?
the result is just the change of the sign, at german version will be -X and at US will be X
A way to do it could be getting the version of windows and adapting the +/- to it. So you can get the version of windows (sorry but I don't know how to for sure) at the initialization of the program in BOOL CMyApp::InitInstance() and say:
if ((windows == US) || )
iFactor = 1;
else
iFactor = -1;
and afterwards
pDC->SetMapMode (MM_LOMETRIC);
pDC->TextOut (pInfo->m_rectDraw.left, iFactor(pInfo->m_rectDraw.bottom - 50), pDoc->GetPathName());
Using as coordinates with Y positive to go down, and that would adapt the sign, according to the windows version.
I guess there is a better approach, but this is an idea.

Thanks Nelek for your help. After some more testing I think the problem is not in the axis orientation but in the screen refreshing. I used a different component for drawing than in my previous programs and it needs a different method of refreshing. I will post the result when I know where the issue was.
All the best,

Hi,
I found the problem with my program running on European Windows - it is in the decimal separator! European use comma, while the US (and all English countries) use dot. My program reads a file with coordinates in a string format. I use Borland Builder C++ and I trusted it that its method AnsiString::ToDouble() makes the conversion according to the OS used - but it does not. After I changed the conversion method to STL C++ strtod() it works fine on all systems.
Regards,
Denny

Upon a cold start, I create an fstream replay file that's opened for output ios::out. If my program stops and does a warm restart, I open the file for ios::in and process the file. Then I close it and reopen it as ios::out | ios::app. This second open succeeds if did not read (getline) any data when opened for ios::in; but fails if I did read data. I thought that flushing the file before closing might have helped, but it didn't. This is not the kind of behavior I, for one would've expected. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

You can check the stream state for all operations open/create/write you are doing. May be the file is empty while you are opening it?
Checking documentation for fstream may help you..

When selecting a different item in my combobox control, I need to save some dialog information for the previously selected item. Which combobox notification should I use for this purpose and how?
Thanks

From MSDN:
ON_CBN_SELCHANGE The selection in the list box of a combo box is about to be changed as a result of the user either clicking in the list box or changing the selection by using the arrow keys. When processing this message, the text in the edit control of the combo box can only be retrieved via GetLBText or another similar function. GetWindowText cannot be used.

Hi
I have written a Dialog based Application in VC++ 2008 and also I made some Modeless Dialogs which are created in response of Button Click.
I want my parent Dialog (main Dialog) to be notified of Child Dialog's destroy so I use the below code But It doesn't do any thing while child dialog is closed or destroyed.
void CMyAppDlg::OnParentNotify(UINT message, LPARAM lParam)
{
CDialog::OnParentNotify(message, lParam);
if ((LOWORD(message) == WM_DESTROY))
{
if((HWND)lParam == _mChildDlg->m_hWnd){
::AfxMessageBox(_T("My Code here"));
}
}
}

How does the child dialog tell the parent it is closing? It won't happen automatically.

According to the MSDN CWnd::OnParentNotify
A parent's OnParentNotify member function is called by the framework when its child window is created or destroyed, or when the user clicks a mouse button while the cursor is over the child window.
So I think It should work. if not so what should I do?

From the same link you have given...
[quote]
All child windows except those that have the WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY style send this message to their parent windows. By default, child windows in a dialog box have the WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY style unless the child window was created without this style by calling the CreateEx member function.
[/quote]
How do you create your child dialog?

Hai,
I am having a VC++ exe. i wat to create a setup file, I tried creating a setupfile by reading the msdn site.when i am running it, it is working in some machines, but not in other machines. will you please help me

Are you making the setup from your debug or your release version?
If you are making it from debug, it probably is the reason why in some machines does not work. They probably are machines where visual studio is not installed, and so your program is missing the needed libraries and dlls to be able to run the application.
What error do it appears in the machines where it is not working?
Regards.

i Am making it from the debug version.It is showing the error Application Not configuredf properly.Try reinstalling it.

As I said, if you do the setup from the debug version and you try to run the application in a machine where no visual studio is installed... you may have problems. The debug versions sometimes need to have some DLLs and other files in the target computer to run correctly.
Take a look with the dependancy-walker about what your programm needs when it is running and add it to the setup packet.
Or do the setup with released version. If you do this, I strongly recommend to take a look into:
Surviving the Release Version[^]
Debugging Release Mode Problems[^]

Are you including visual studio runtime library in your setup? The Target machine may not have these files

this menu could be called by right clicking the dialog.
If user select some menu item according to that i will make some operation.
how could i add checkbox to submenu item

If you go through MENUITEMINFO structure (which is used in InsertMenuItem() function) you can find fMask member which supports MIIM_CHECKMARKS value.
