Copyright sign © in about box Geert Delmeiren2-Dec-02 20:28 Geert Delmeiren 2-Dec-02 20:28  Instead of using (c) in the About box I used the real symbol ©. On my machine and a lot of others it is perfectly visible. But, I have a colleague (who runs XP) who doesn't see that symbol in the about box. Instead he sees a '?'. Also, when he opens my project in MSDEV, he can't see the ©, but again sees a '?' instead. When he looks e.g. at the about box of Outlook the © is perfectly visible. Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks. Re: Copyright sign © in about box Rickard Andersson202-Dec-02 21:35 Rickard Andersson20 2-Dec-02 21:35  What font are you using?

Re: Copyright sign © in about box Geert Delmeiren2-Dec-02 23:09 Geert Delmeiren 2-Dec-02 23:09  Hi Rickard, I'm using the standard MS Sans Serif (size 8). So, it's not that this symbol doesn't exist in that font. Thanks for your reaction. Geert. Re: Copyright sign © in about box Anonymous3-Dec-02 2:49 Anonymous 3-Dec-02 2:49  strange, perhaps have a look into your .rc file ? any strange things or unwanted code page (language local)? Re: Copyright sign © in about box Geert Delmeiren3-Dec-02 20:24 Geert Delmeiren 3-Dec-02 20:24  Nothing suspicious. Language is English (U.S.) and the © character is perfectly visible. Must be something with XP I guess. Geert. DialogBase Program with no TaskBar Button.

I'm able to Insert ActiveX Objects into the Application. they look real great. The problem is the window Messages like Left Mouse Button Click MouseMove etc.. are not being sent to the control as a result it just appears to be doing nothing but appear as images. is there any method that would enable the controls to recieve User Interface messages. Would be very thankful for helping out.

Thank You Combo Box drop-down list problem IGx892-Dec-02 14:49 IGx89 2-Dec-02 14:49  I have a drop-down list style combo box control in my program, with about 10 items in it. In XP, when it is dropped down, it shows all the items at once, like I want it to. But in 98, it only shows one item, with tiny up and down scrollbars to show the other items. Why does it do that? How can I make it show all the items at once? Thanks! Re: Combo Box drop-down list problem Kannan Kalyanaraman2-Dec-02 20:11 Kannan Kalyanaraman 2-Dec-02 20:11  Did you try extending the Combo Box's drop down length at design time. By default it displays the tiny scrollbar as if there is only one item.

(Actually, I am loading an image file but it's in a special format so I can't use any of the DirectX LoadImage functions.) SHGetSpecialFolderPath problem in Win98 IGx892-Dec-02 13:25 IGx89 2-Dec-02 13:25  Calling SHGetSpecialFolderPath with CSIDL_WINDOWS and with CSIDL_DESKTOPDIRECTORY works fine in Windows XP, but in Windows 98 (SP1, IE6 SP1) CSIDL_WINDOWS doesn't work. Why is that? Is there a better way to get the user's Windows directory? Thanks!

BOOL CObject::IsKindOf(const CRuntimeClass* pClass) const { ASSERT(this != NULL); // it better be in valid memory, at least for CObject size ASSERT(AfxIsValidAddress(this, sizeof(CObject))); // simple SI case CRuntimeClass* pClassThis = GetRuntimeClass(); return pClassThis->IsDerivedFrom(pClass); } i have no idea how to fix this bug. can someone help me out? thx in advance..

Cheers Kannan Re: help: menu command programming. trustno13-Dec-02 8:04 trustno1 3-Dec-02 8:04  how do you check whether the db pointer that i'm passing to the dialog is valid or not? because the dialog works perfectly when i had my window focus on the left pane, which is where the event handler was coded from, but when my window focus is on the right pane, my application crashed.. i too was suspecting about the db pointer, but i don't know how to fix it.. any suggestions? thx in advance. Re: help: menu command programming. jhwurmbach3-Dec-02 21:03 jhwurmbach 3-Dec-02 21:03  When it is crashing in some windows function, you simply have to look into the call stack window to see from where it was called. Do this recursivly until you end into a class or function you know (either having written it or having used it in your code). Then look in there what went wrong .
