I'm pretty sure that NeHe has stuff on this. It should just be a case of changing the screen co-ordinates to the world-space co-ordinates I think but for more info go to http://nehe.gamedev.net/ - A site for everything OpenGL based.

It sounds like you have a fairly fundamental bug which only shows up in release build. This is not uncommon. See the article "Surviving the Release Version" http://www.codeproject.com/debug/survivereleasever.asp[^]

You can still run a release build under the debugger.

Hope that helps.

Directory listing with Visual C++

O.K. now here is something that I hope someone can explain to me.

I have been attempting to a simple DOS command line diroectory listing using MSVC.

But for the life of searching I find nodda about really how to write this.

This is what I have been attempting to do.

A simple VC code that will list the files just like the DOS dir command.
with this it should show the file date modified, and date created.

The ultimate goal I have to to be able to have the following:

command line directory listing application that would delete files past ## of days.

like
dir c:\files\*.doc -del:20
this would delete files in that directory that are past 20 days from the current date.

If anyone has something that would work in MSVC just to get me to at least show the files, and dates credted/modified, hopfully I can understand the rest, but without dir.h I cannot seem to go any farther.

If you look up CFileFind (I think) you'll find an MFC class which does this. It will list all of the files and will be able to give you that sort of information about them. Using a win32 API call like DeleteFile(mfilename) would then delete them for you.

O.K. this is what I have.
now sure it can list the files, but how in the love of all that is holy list the files dates as well.
I always get error messages when I try to add printf(FileData.ftCreationTime);

I get the error:

Re: Directory listing with Visual C++

carrie10-Dec-02 10:10

yeah, thats because you're trying to display the FILETIME struct using a function that accepts a const char* as an arguement. Try converting the FILETIME structure to a SYSTEMTIME structure using FileTimeToSystemTime(). That way you'll have the date in all of its component parts so you can display it using

printf("%s %f %f %f\n",filename,daycreated,monthcreated,blah blah);

I just grabbed that from MSDN but it should work no probs, other than the printf because I can't remember what the right letter to use for a WORD is.
Good luck, MSDN is a great thing.

Keyboard accelerator question

joblemar10-Dec-02 6:00

10-Dec-02 6:00

I'm trying to use a keyboard accelerator in my aplication (and MFC dialog based application). I want to handle the event that happens when the user presses a combination of Ctrl + Shight + N, so I have defined a new Line int the Accelerator editor with this values:

ID = ID_ACELERATOR_NEXT , Modifier = Ctrl + Shift, Key = N, Type= VIRTKEY.

Also I have defined in my dialog message map the following line:

ON_COMMAND(ID_ACCELERATOR_NEXT, OnAcceleratorNext)

but it doen't works. I can't handle the event. What I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks.

Memory problem with webbrowser OCX!!!

Hi!

I've developed an application whitch calls (by pressing a button, using DoModal) a dialog window with a webbrowser control into it (using the CWebbrowser2 class). The application works great but I've noticed that each time I execute (or refresh) my web browser dialog the application's memory usage increases every time (by about 300-400k)!!! I can start of with a 6 meg application and end up with one using 40 meg in memory... Then the application crashes!

My question is:
1 - Could it be something related to the browser's cache!?
2 - How can clear memory usage to avoid crashing?
3 - Could it be an OCX-related problem?

Thanx!!!

I NEED HELP!!

hello @all,

first a short introduction:

i have an mdi program and the menu contains:

File
|
v
Service

when i pressed the service, a dialog should open, where i can enter a correct password and press 'OK'. if the password is right the menu should look like:

File
|
v
Service
IamHere

i tried:

the first menu is the mainframe menu and then i make a second menu (IDR_MENU_PW). after i pressed the 'OK' this happens:

<br />
	UpdateData(true);<br />
<br />
	if(m_strPW=="Hello")<br />
	{<br />
		HMENU menu;<br />
		menu = LoadMenu(AfxGetApp()->m_hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE     (IDR_MENU_PW));<br />
				::SetMenu(*(AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd), menu);<br />
		CDialog::OnOK();<br />
<br />
	}<br />
	else<br />
	{<br />
		CString wrong;<br />
		wrong.Format("Wrong PW");<br />
		MessageBox(wrong, "Attention!", MB_ICONERROR | MB_OK);<br />
	}

now the second menu 'opens' and the first one is 'closed'.
now i want, that when i pressed 'IamHere' a messagebox opens. i make a 'COMMAND' function with the wizzard in the old class: 'MyProgrammView'.
but when i run the program, and enter the right passwort, there the second menu is, but i can not use the function behind 'IamHere'. it is grey. but when i pressed on the 'Service' i get the same dialog as before to enter my password.

what´s wrong?

thank you
sunny

I am really not competent in mdi's, but maybe this link[^] may help you. You should use something like EnableMenuItem() with MF_ENABLED flag. Just look at this one in the MSDN.

Are you sure you did it correctly? I made a test MDI application with two menus as you said - except for the dialog but i think it's ok - and everything worked properly.

If you want to have IamHere called even when no child is open, you must catch the WM_COMMAND in CMainFrame, not in MyProgrammView.
