Do you mean use XML to drive gui creation? Or gui manipulation on the fly with XML? Or do you mean manipulate XML from a gui?

Either way one you'll probably want to use some kind of XML parser. You mentioned Visual C++ so I'm assuming you're talking about VC++ 6.0. If that's the case then there are plenty of XML parsers you could use. Do a google search for MSXML4.0 or Xerces. There's some others but I can't remember them right now. You may also want to check W3C for XML parsers and tutorials. I personally use MSXML4.0 though some people snicker at the idea. It suits my needs fine.

If it's the GUI part you need help with there are plenty of articles here on CodeProject that can give you a good start.;)

If you are allowed to, use the Xml classes from the .NET framework. Not only it's an incredible product quality/price ratio, it also makes you take your distance from the bullish msxml parser (former MS Xml sdk).

In addition, you can fill the .NET tabular datagrid control with Xml content, from/to flat files or databases. This can shorten the dev time.

I use XML DOM for that. See MSDN Library for more info.

i want to create a tabbed dialog. I can't find anything. also I am unable to use property sheets as i don't know anything about it. but i guess tabbed dialogs would be better because i have to add functionality to both of the tabs and also i want to appear in my color way. Any suggestions..please..thanx in advance..

For tab control information see:

There you find loads of information about tabs and property sheets (tutorials, advanced controls, etc.)

visual c++ and mysql (CRecordset)

hi,

I have problems trying to use CRecordset class.. or maybe I don't need to use it. I want to select some rows from a table. I managed to do some inserts like this:

CDatabase *bd;
CRecordset *rs;
bd = new CDatabase();
bd->Open(_T("MySQL-DSN"),FALSE, FALSE, _T("ODBC;UID=admin;PWD=sa;Database=mydatabase"));

bd->ExecuteSQL("INSERT INTO logs (Action,Data) VALUES (\"Starting...\",NOW())");

For the select I try to use CRecordset like this:

rs = new CRecordset(bd);
rs->m_nFields = 1;
sprintf(sqlbuff,"SELECT UserID FROM users WHERE Login=\"%s\" AND Pass=\"%s\"",user,params);
rs->Open(CRecordset::snapshot,sqlbuff);
cout << rs->GetRecordCount();

but the program crashes. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

I am trying to make a context menu appear when the user right clicks on a static control. I can get left click messages, no problem, but for some reason right clicks are verboten.

Please don't tell me that I have to go through all that sub-classing crap for one message.

Thanks,

Aaron

I assume you have tried creating it with a SS_NOTIFY style?

Otherwise you could tyry using a "read only" CEdit control.with no frame.

Hi:

I opened an MFC Sample and I would like to see code of Member Functions and Messages of Object IDs but when I double click for example a Command Button it shows a Dialog Box that asks if I want to Create a New Class or to Select an exisisting class and then... I don't know what to do from here Blush | :O

( because the MFC Wizard doesn't have Messages neither Member Functions.

Please, I really need help from anyone.

Greetings and Happy New Year. Smile | :)

I'm confused. Can't you just scroll down to the function your looking for?

If you have a problem with my spelling, just remember that's not my fault. I (as well as everyone else who learned to spell after 1976) blame it on Robert A. Kolpek for U.S. Patent 4,136,395.

typedef struct but where?

hi I have a MDI app. I want to define a struct like typedef struct{vars...}s1; and have private s1 struct variables in my view classes. Where is the best place to put typedef block in the code? If I put in stdafx.h then I need to include stdafx.h in all my view headers but I don't want it.. And If I write typedef struct.. block in my view classes' header then I get "Illegal pure syntax must be '=0'" what is the problem?
my struct type:
typedef struct{
int n = 1; char * label = "VAB";
}s1;

My view class:
class CView3 : public CView
{
...

private:
s1 s;
...
};

The problem is you're putting variable initialization where it doesn't belong.

typedef struct
{ 
  int n = 1; char * label = "VAB"; 
} s1;

Doesn't make sense, the typedef struct means you're declaring a struct type and a new name for it. What I think you meant was:

typedef struct
{
  int n; char* label;
} s1 = { 1, "VAB" };

but this makes a global variable s1. Move the s1 into your view class and initialize its members in the view constructor.

CString memory

trimtrom31-Dec-02 12:00

31-Dec-02 12:00

Hello,
I am a new MFC programmer and I have a problem with the CString class. I am writing an app which includes the new MFC 7.0 class CHTMLEditView, and I am using its GetDocumentHTML() method to transfer the HTML that the user has been editing into a CString.

I have noticed that when the HTML page is only a few lines long, everything proceeds smoothly, but when the user writes an extended page of HTML, and then tries to save it, I get an access error as the CHTMLEditView class attempts to write to the CString.

I know very little about CString, but I was wondering how CString manages its memory, and whether it was possible that its buffer was not big enough to manage a sudden allocation of a big page.

I have investigated MFC 7.0 help, and have become very confused with the shared string classes between MFC and ATL. If anyone can help with the above problem, I would be most grateful!

Thanks,
Paul Trimming

COM Server problem

Anonymous31-Dec-02 10:49

I have a simple Dialog Application. I am including an Active X Control e.g a simple grid. Apart from this I have a COM Server Object that is a class member of my class .
I dynamically create this object as
myCom = new ComServer();

Everything works fine when this is single threaded . Now I want to write some code that is part of a thread's execution routine(a multi threaded function) for which I do the following :
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0400
in my stdafx.h file
as this is used in the InitAtl function as

#if _WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0400<br />
	HRESULT hRes = CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);<br />
#else<br />
	HRESULT hRes = CoInitialize(NULL);<br />
#endif

The result of doing this is that my code compiles and links perfect but does not run . i.e I found the following messages in debug :

Warning: OleInitialize returned scode = RPC_E_CHANGED_MODE ($80010106).
Warning: CreateDlgControls failed during dialog init.
The thread 0x46C has exited with code 0 (0x0).

I am not having a clue about what is going wrong. Any help or suggestions will be really helpful.
Thanks

Which versions of IE are you testing with? I ran into the same problem, but it turned out to be dependent on the IE version, not OS version. In 5.5+, navigating to about:blank creates a document, but in 5.0 and lower it does not. I never found a workaround. Cry | :((
