No, see 3.6.1.1. and 3.6.1.2 of the c++ language specification.

Irrelevant.
The question is another: can the OS invoke something different than main?
That does not depend on C++ specs, but on how the linker is instructed.
What about WinMain ?!?

No. The question was: "Can main() be overloaded?". The answer is no. However, the standard does not enforce the existence of "main" - it leaves it up to the implementation how the entry point of a program is defined. But if the entry point is main, "it shall not be overloaded"...

In Windows, distribute it as a DLL and use the runDLL32 (something like that) to pick your entry point.

I imagine *nix has a similar utility.

not sure about overloading, but it can be called just like a regular function.

Hi all,

Its been long but I am back with another puzzling question...

Does anybody who has worked on ADSI can help me out to read 'User must change password at next logon' using LDAP. I do know how to set the values by using 'pwdlastset' but I am not able to search for a way to read it.

Can somebody throw a light on it.

I dont know the exact answer to your question, usually I use a tool like http://ldaptool.sourceforge.net/[^] to browse for attributes and view them, then try and read the attribute once I know what Im looking for/at

If you dont have such, use that or search for [LDAP Explorer] for example

Finally I was able to figure this stuff out...

Check this out: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms974598.aspx

We will have to query for 'PasswordLastChanged' and if it fails with error code E_ADS_PROPERTY_NOTFOUND , then we have the password option set as 'User must change password at next logon'.

Hope this helps someone in future.

If s is a char* -type variable containing the name of a *.chm-type file, please how do I call it as a help file?

With the old help I used a format like:

case _HELP_: WinHelp(wn,PROGNAME".HLP",HELP_CONTENTS,0); goto DEF;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A link in that earlier thread led me to an application that can decompile .HLP files into .RTF files. Thanks.

I still have an old help-maker called HELPGEN that translates from its scripting input language to .RTF and then separately from .RTF to .HLP .

Please, where is a simple-to-use application which can translate from such .RTF's to .CHM ?

According to MSDN, how about:

case _HELP_: HtmlHelp(wn, s, HH_DISPLAY_TOC, (DWORD_PTR)NULL);

Also see Google: Converting WinHelp HtmlHelp. Hope this helps Smile | :)

When you are in the MFC context Smile | :)

CYourApp::CYourApp()
{
  EnableHtmlHelp();
}

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CYourApp, CWinApp) // or CWinAppEx
  ON_COMMAND(ID_HELP, OnHelp)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

BOOL CYourApp::InitInstance()
{
...
   CString cszHelpFile(_T("C:\\test.chm"));
   m_pszHelpFilePath = _tcsdup(cszHelpFile);
...
}

#define HLP_INDEX 0 // index of the desired page
void CYourApp::OnHelp()
{
  HtmlHelp(HLP_INDEX, HH_HELP_CONTEXT);
}

Use also: /*virtual*/ void CWnd::HtmlHelp(DWORD_PTR dwData, UINT nCmd /*= 0x000F*/) Smile | :)

Actually,

#define HELPFILE   PROGNAME##".hlp"

const TCHAR *helpFileName = HELPFILE;

that works.

// MDIView.h

#include "TestDlg.h"

class CMDIView : public CView
{
public:
CTestDlg *m_pTestDlg;
CWnd *m_pWnd;
}

CMDIView::CMDIView()
{
m_pTestDlg = new CTestDlg();
m_pTestDlg.Create(IDD_TEST_DLG,this);
m_pTestDlg.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
m_pTestDlg.UpdateWindow();
}

void CMDIView::OnLButtonDblClk(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
m_pTestDlg.InitDlg("Hello",this);
m_pTestDlg.ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL);
}

CMDIView::OnDraw(CDC *pDC)
{
//Here will get the document pointer to draw the element.
GetDocument()->DrawAllItem(..);
}
// MDIView.h over.

SetWindowText(strTitle);
m_pWnd = pWnd;
ASSERT( m_pWnd != NULL);

void CTestDlg::OnBtnEdit()
{
//Now I want to get the CMDIView's pointer，and then to call CMDIView::OnDraw
//Then how to write?
......
