As I understand it, the way to create columns in HTML is to either use tables or frames to hold the content...though neither is an ideal solution if you need text to flow from one column to the other (not very common apart from printed media, it has to be said).
If it's not possible in HTML, it's probably because it doesn't make sense on a display the way it does on the printed page.
Good luck. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Yes, text should flow from one column to another.
And I understand it is not common after spending a week surfing inet for the solution 
It probably should look like the print preview (use CPreviewView in some way ? ).
Thanks again

Forgive my ignorance, but exactly why do you want to flow text between columns like this?
It actually makes things rather difficult for a reader as they keep having to scroll back up to the top of the page when they reach the bottom of a column. That's why tables work so well on the web - they separate content.
As far as CPreviewView goes, Print Preview implementations normally use raw (i.e. GDI) code to do their drawing so I really doubt that would help you.

I don't need them at all - it's the client's willing. They think it helps the operator to read faster with text in two columns. 2-3 times faster. Never checked those numbers...
And the program is used not only for viewing documents, but also for printing too. I think up to 25% persent of the viewed documents would be printed - it's an organization with lot's of paper work.

Yuck.
I'm sure they're mistaken, but if they're dead set on it you may well be stuck.
Have you considered PDF? I know it's a pig to program (I've no experience on it myself) but it should do the columns with no problem, and has the benefit that the screen and printed versions will be consistant.
AFAIK even Word is a bit flakey working with true columns (and Wordpad doesn't do it at all) so you might be pushing your luck to get CRichEditCtrl to do it.

Any advice from where to start? MFC classes, custom controls, articles?
Thanks again

Hi everybody!
Can anyone tell me how to read each line in a text everytime i push the same button using
fgets()???
|
|
|
|
|
you can do it with fscanf() rather than fgets() easily. You have to specify "%[^\n]" as the format string in fscanf() function's parameter for retriving a line.

Look here for an example of using fgets (its easier than fscanf, and not as prone to buffer over-runs)

Dear Guys,
Can someone show me how to pass values from the code written in Document class to the View class. Actually I've written the code for a whole project inside the view class, and now I have to change it. I've done it in MDI and using static splitters. It displays different images or text in each pane. But because I've written it in View class all other panes other than the one associated with the main class never gets updated after I minimise the window. And please also show me how I can implement the percentage indication font inside the progress bar. Please help.

2 ways:
1. call doc function from view (better in ur case)
MyDoc*pd=(MyDoc*)GetDocument();
pd->GetData(int&i0,CString&cs0,...,anything&any);
//of course, GetData() is function of MyDoc
2. call view function from doc
POSITION pos=GetFirstViewPosition();
//search the function for its use.
//for multiple views, u have to id each of them;

I;'ve never seen this, and believe me the project I'm working on at work is pretty big (about 5500 resources and 50 projects). 
Mind you, I don't use the ClassWizard much...I find it easier to write the handlers myself - and you learn more that way.
FYI Classwizard doesn't exist in VC.NET (VC7) so if you're relying on it it will take you longer to adapt when you make the change from VC6 to VC.NET.

Hi Anna,
Thanx a lot !! Btw when i delete away some of the bitmap resources in my project this prob disappear ! So it seems to me there is a limit...  (I noe it sounds absurb as i think vc can cater for big projs!)
I am pretty new in VC and in currently in a rush to complete a proj. So i am not really familiar with all the codings and hence more than often had to rely on ClassWizard. I am not sure of how to write those codes to associate a class with a dialog box and some of the codes to add a variable to a control. Perhaps if u are free can give me a advise or two ! I really appreciate it very much. Thanx you !!

If you're new to it all the best thing to do in all honesty is to buy one of the many books on getting started with MFC.
As I followed a different path so I can't make any suggestions, but if you ask nicely in the Lounge I'm sure you'll get some.
And of course the other to do is make use of the samples that come on the Visual C++ CD, and of course MSDN. It's all pretty daunting, but once you get the hang of it you'll find it easy enough.

else dc.AbortDoc();
// detach the printer DC
dc.Detach();
}

I'm reading Feng Yuan's, "Windows Graphics Programming", and while it is an incredible investigative journey, I am really confused about one particular feature. In his technical description of the the internal data structures of the Windows 2000 graphics engine and GDI APIs, he lists numerous undocumented structures which the operating system maintains in kernel address space. This is fascinating stuff, but, even a nitwit like me notices pretty quickly that most of these structs are populated with void pointers to other undocumented structs. I can't imagine why Microsoft would use so many void pointers. The only possibility that seems reasonable is that the void pointer conceals the actual data structure from nitwits like me in user address space.
Anybody have any hard intel on this stuff?

void pointers are generic and can point to anything. It allows you to write generic functions and classes. so you could pass a string pointer or a integere pointer or a struct pointer and they'll all be accepted by the coid pointer variable.

"undocumented structure" means the structure can't be defined, the reason that it can't be defined is those void pointers, they are not cool at all, they are something can not be defined.
i.e. for dialog template structure ("undocumented structure"), u see these stories:
WORD id;
void* pv;
what does pv mean?
if id=0; pv is null;
if id=1; pv to a DWORD;
if id=2; pv to a char string;
(i can't remember exactly values, here is just idea)
these kind of "structures" can't be defined, so called "undocumented structure" - do body can document (define) it.
hope u understand that void* is not cool, it is "no words to say".
