Same Problem.
_TCHAR *str = _T("Astring");
is a pointer to a string constant. What you really want is
_TCHAR str[] = _T("Astring");
This will store the string into an array. Therefore, it allows _tcsrev (or now _wcsrev) to modify the array. Of course, I can't say that it's "ANSI C" because this is a MS-specific type.
Heh, it seems that the sample program is trying to get away with this business. In practice, you should never modify a pointer to a constant string.

How Can convert BSTR to LPCSTR OR vice versa!
|
|

CString does it for you - it can be constructed from a BSTR and AllocSysString returns a BSTR.

Use _bstr_t to handle conversion from BSTR to const wchar_t*/const char*. _bstr_t is part of VC6.0's compiler COM support classes. Defined in <comdef.h>.

Define USES_CONVERSION; at the top of the method implementation you are trying to do the conversion in. then use W2T
void foo(BSTR bstrVariable)
{
USES_CONVERSION;
// conversion is done to the stack so don't delete on function exit
// and don't use pointer outside of method.
LPCTSTR pcstrVariable = W2T(bstrVariable);
// TODO: do work with string.
}

Can any one please provide me with a way to enable the inserting of tabs into a RichEdit control within a dialog based application. The rich edit control is contained within a tab control page therefore the normal action when the tab key is pressed is to tab to the next tab in the control.

Is there a function that can convert a CString containing a hexadecimal or octal string to an integer. atoi() only works for decimal strings.

Hi,
I have a MDI application, and I can display bitmaps and draw lines..
Lets say that I do everything that I wanna do on the first document.
I like to use to same data( lines, points) on my next document..
how can i do that?
Thanks

Here is a way of iterating through your open documents:
CWinApp* pApp = AfxGetApp();
POSITION posTemplate = pApp->GetFirstDocTemplatePosition();
while (posTemplate)
{
CDocTemplate* pTemplate = pApp->GetNextDocTemplate(posTemplate);
POSITION posDocument = pTemplate->GetFirstDocPosition();
while(posDocument)
{
CDocument* pDoc = pTemplate->GetNextDoc(posDocument);
if (pDoc)
{
Having done so, there is no reason you'd have any problems copying data from one document to another.

thanks for your reply,,
I like to know,if this is a way of only copying data from an open document to another,
or having access to the open document's data,, or both??
In my application i need to have access to the data too.
another question:
Does this mean that I have to use serialization method in my application?
thanks

If you have the pointer to the document, then you have access to the data ( or at least get methods ). You can use GetActiveDocument() to get a pointer to the current active document, use the code I gave you before to get access to another document, and then copy between them.

I know that the Submit and Preview buttons don't look the same but I still managed to hit the wrong one. Will try again with the question.
OK, I am still working on my ground breaking Dialog based database application. Answers to my previous questions have allowed me to get things working the way I wanted but as always I have found another annoyance I can't work around.
In the summary screen for say Customers I fill the ListCtrl with data returned by a
SELECT *
FROM
CUSTOMERS
of course this means that the first column contains the Primary Key which I don't need the user to see. I could select each column except the Primary Key individually to fix this but this leads me to another problem. When a user selects a row to Delete a Customer I use the value in the first column as the key to delete the correct record.
So what I want is to Hide the first column containing the key so the user can't see it but still have it returned by GetItemText when I need the key to Delete or Update.
Can this be done?
Can some kind developer give me the function?

Are the customer names unique ? If so, you could build a map to hold the key. Maps rule.

You can do this by the clistctrl function - setitemdata();
instead of insertcolumn
example:
m_lst.setitemdata(0,/*the unique customer id*/);
|
|
|
|
|
You can always set the Primary Key column's width to 0, thereby making it hidden.
LVCOLUMN lvColumn;
memset(&lvColumn, 0, sizeof(lvColumn));
lvColumn.mask = LVCF_WIDTH;
listCtrl.GetColumn(0, &lvColumn);
lvColumn.cx = 0;
listCtrl.SetColumn(0, &lvColumn);

Hi,
I'm converting some old vb code to a VC++ application and there is this function called ScaleX which converts a coordinate from twips to pixels. Is there any equivalent function in VC++?
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Craig

You can do this using two different methods:
1) set the mapping mode of device context to MM_TWIPS, then call DPtoLP.
2) perform calculations 'manually' using value returned from GetDeviceCaps(hdc, LOGPIXELSX) - it's a number of pixels per 'logical inch'.
int logpixx = GetDeviceCaps(hdc, LOGPIXELSX);
int pix = logpixx * twips / 1440;

Hello,
Is it possible to get a process's PID if the name of the application is known? Is there a function such as "GetProcessIdByName", or is there some alternative hack? BTW, I am developing with Visual Studio 6 for Windows NT/2000, and using the July 2000 Platform SDK.
Thanks for any help,
Jon Sagara
