In your CMainFrame class, you could implement a handler for WM_GETMINMAXINFO like this:
void CMainFrame::OnGetMinMaxInfo(MINMAXINFO FAR* lpMMI)
{
int min_x = ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) / 4;
int min_y = ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN) / 3;
int cx = lpMMI->ptMinTrackSize.x;
int cy = lpMMI->ptMinTrackSize.y;
lpMMI->ptMinTrackSize.x = (cx < min_x) ? min_x : cx;
lpMMI->ptMinTrackSize.y = (cy < min_y) ? min_y : cy;
CFrameWnd::OnGetMinMaxInfo(lpMMI);
}
This example will give you a minimum of 1/4 the screen width and 1/3 the screen height. You could also use hard-coded number of pixels, although this might not scale well for different monitor sizes.

BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
if( !CFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
return FALSE;
cs.cy = 100;
cs.cx = 100;
return TRUE;
}
You can set your custom size with use of cs.cy and cs.cx parameter

Hi all,
i want to calculate time that is taken by execute a function.
i m doing it like this.
DWORD dw = ::GetTickCount();
dw = ::GetTickCount() - dw;
CString time_str;
time_str.Format("%d ms", dw);
AfxMessageBox(time_str);
is it right way to do this.
thanks in advance.

You can get much better resolution with the APIs QueryPerformanceCounter() and QueryPerformanceFrequency(). Use ...Counter much like you use GetTickCount, and ...Frequency to calibrate your results. Hit MSDN for more info and examples.

I have a binary file of size 3GB. I want to reduce the size using some coding in C to write another binary file.
Please suggest/provide a way to write compact binary file.
TO read this file i need to use C#.
Thanks,
Sachin

WinZip(3GB_Filename, 2GB_Filename); ?
Seriously, it depends on what is contained in the 3GB binary file. Is it even compressible?
If it contains lots of NULLS, for example, change the NULL bytes to a single NULL followed by a count of how many there are. A string of 10 NULLS would turn into a single NULL and a byte with the number 10 in it, saving 8 bytes.
Reading the file in, you would simply reverse the process.
1,2,3,4,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,2,3,a,b,c,0,0,0,0,d,e,0,f,ff
(30 bytes)
Becomes
1,2,3,4,5,0,a,1,2,3,a,b,c,0,4,d,e,0,1,f,ff
(21 bytes)
Alternatively, implement one of the Open Source Zip and Unzip routines in your C and C# code, as appropriate.

check this library.
http://zlib.net/[^]
use following function from library for compress binary file.
deflateInit
deflate
deflateEnd

I've used (libbzip2[^]) in the past with some success at shrinking certain types of binary file. Hopefully there's some repetition in it or whatever you try isn't going to be able to do much to shrink it.

fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "hid.lib"
please give me any solution.

Check if the file mentioned in the error message("hid.lib") is present or not.
If the file is in some 3rd party libraries installed in system, give the correct path in "Additional include directories" option of your project settings.

This is a library file, not an include file. The folder should be mentionned in "Additional Library Directories".

i've actually meant library path only.. thanks for the correction..

Make sure this file exist on your system and can be found by the compiler (it should either be in the project directory or located in one of the "Additional Library Directory" (project settings -> "Linker" -> "General" -> "Additional Library Directory").

Hi,
i am working on a simple application that needs to be updated frequently, do you have an an article that discusses how an application downloads the update then install it. Like an anti virus, it downloads the update definitions then install it on its own.
lets say its an application that collects updates from a common share-point.
lets not focus on the install part, what we want to focus is on the connection and download part..
and what are the common protocol and ports used for connection?
i got some good hint from Simon Ellis's article, An AutoUpdate Trick An AutoUpdate Trick[^], but i still can't find where is the download part,
any help or guide will be much appreciated, thanks in advance

I used a repository with version information, the application checks what needs to be downloaded. After successful download, checksum verification and unpacking the updater checks modification time on a per file basis, to decide which binary really needs to be replaced. If you plan to update multiple files, make sure they will be replaced together (to avoid dependency issues).
To my knowledge there is no simple automatic update mechanism on Windows, you probably need an extra executable for: stopping your application, replacing files and restarting you application again (all should be UAC compatible for Vista/Win7).

I did all network communication via HTTP, this means repository and downloads are on a web server.
Hope it helps.

Yup, it was a good hint for me, I've started reading books regarding your suggestions. since I don't have a personally owned database repository at least yet, and i only use free web hosting sites to store some of my files that i needed to access often.
thanks for the headstart, appreciate it.
but if you have a sample code or application for me to review the code, it would be easier.
thanks again,

If I use RegLoadKey() to load registry data from a hive, does the newly loaded data exist at the same time as the previously loaded data?
OR, does the previous data disappear, and only the new data exists under the predefined key?
For example, if I want to load information for a single COM server under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, will everything that was previously under that key still be there?

Yes, unless you overwrite or delete it.

I'm not sure if I've given the proper label to my issue, but I have upgraded to the new version of MinGW and am now having trouble compiling my code in Codeblocks. The program runs fine when executed from Codeblocks, but once I try to run it from windows I get an error stating that I need a certain dll file for it to run.
I found on a forum a linker option that has covered one of the required dlls but not all of them (-static-libgcc)
What linker options can I use to get rid of all these dependancies, I don't care how large it makes my exe; I think its easier to live with a large exe than having to package dlls with my project.
I appreciate any advise anyone has to offer.

It depends what the DLL is. If it's one you've got the source for rebuild it as a static library (archive in MinGW terms) and link against that instead. If it's not then it might be time to look for a replacement or get rid of the code that uses that DLL.
Cheers,
Ash
