Construct a CFont object and use the CFont::CreateFont( ) function to give you the attributes you need.
E.g.
CFont font, *pOldFont; //you will need pOldFont to store a pointer to the old font so you can reinstate it later.
font.CreateFont(....)
Load the font into the device context using pOldFont=pDC->SelectObject(&font)
Draw the text using pDC->DrawText(...);
When done reload the old font into the device context (pDC->SelectObject(pOldFont))
If you want spiral text then you will have to do some maths with sin and cos, adjusting nOrientation in the CFont object as you go.
Check out the CDC and CFont classes in MSDN.
Hope this helps

Hello all
I'm writing an application which uses serial port using vc++. I would like to code this app in such a way that if any other application is using serial port my application should stop it before proceeding and again should start the stopped application when my application is done. Pls suggest me the way to do it with an example.
thanks for your time,
Hari.

Please help me with this stupid problem.
I tried to load a dll dynamicly. I used LoadLibrary in my function. In this function I first diplay a CFileDialog to open some datafiles. After that i load my dll. But LoadLibrary return NULL. When I place my LoadLibraray before CFileDialog it seems to be OK.
Can you help me with this problem?
I the future i plan to load the library in a working thread. I tried this although but the result of LoadLibrary was NULL!

Is your DLL in your application directory? When your app is run, the current directory is set to your app directory (usually). Since LoadLibrary() looks in your app directory first, it find the DLL no problems. However, if the user changes the directory in the file dialog, the current directory is no longer set to your app directory, therefore LoadLibrary() can not find the DLL.
The best way to solve this is to specify the complete path in the call to LoadLibrary().

thank you for your help. I tried to specify the complete path in loadlibrary but the problem is still there...
When I try to load a different dll in the same codepassage all worked fine. The problem still excists in the first dll (but only in this passage!).
Do you have an idea?

Post the relevant parts of your code and I'll see if I can find anything.

Hi,
I want to nest splitter windows, but I can't find any documentation on how to do that.
Before I'll try to write a derived class that supports nested splitting, is there anyone who can tell me where I can find information about nested splitter windows?
many thanks.

I presume you are talking about MFC? If so, AFAIK this isn't the way Microsoft wants you to do it (meaning, it's close to impossible).
Splitters are IIRC only handled by frame windows. Read that sentence again and you see the problem.
If you need nested splitters (which seems quite awkward to me, but perhaps you indeed have found a legit use for it) I think you need to do some programming for yourself to work around MFC deficiencies.
Disclaimer: I might be wrong, why you shouldn't read the text above as some absolute truth.

I'm using the class library provided with visual C++ 6.0.
Maybe I should study some WTL.
thanks a lot.

Hello I have a small question that maybe you could help solve. I am using a CHtmlview in my application and I want to display a FTP directory on another computer so I just called the Navigate2(ftp://myftp); and this all works great, the only problem is that when the user clicks on a folder it open a new window and no event is thrown, meaning I tried catching this but could not. Have any ideas?
Thanks,
gil

This[^] is driving me insane 
I just want a wofstream to stream out Unicode i.e. the following code to work the way you would expect:
wofstream outputFile( "test.txt" ) ;
outputFile << L"fsck!" << endl ;
instead of converting everything to be narrow first! 
I'm thinking maybe I can imbue the wofstream with a locale/facet that doesn't do the narrowing of the data but I'm not having much luck.
Surely someone has hit this problem before. Any ideas...?

Since the standard knows nothing about Unicode, the standard is not going to help you.
My suggestion would be to try to create a 16-bit-handling streambuf and instantiate an ostream on that one. I'm absolutely NOT sure this will help you, but at least one suggestion is better than banging ones head against the wall.

Banging my head on the wall? If only I had been doing just that  
It's not really a question of being Unicode-aware. If a basic_ofstream is templated using 16-bit characters, then it should write out 16-bit characters, fer crying out loud!!!
Anyway, I've just about got something going[^] although it's taken me *ages* to get it working under Stlport.
Boost has a submission[^] open that looks much more elegant but doesn't compile under VC6 
This is one *major* can of worms

Hi, i'm currently learning programming with visual c++. I am using the active X ADO data control in my dialog to link up with my access db. I need help with the commands used to access the features of the the adodc. For example, how can i access the recordsets from the database without the use of active x(textboxes) controls that links to the datasource. If i were to use eof to determine if the pointer is at the last record, how should i go about writing the code?

Not to insult you or anything but this question cannot be answered with just a few lines of text. Database programming is involving and you should read some texts and check out some examples first. MSDN has some good and simple examples. Check out this link [^] and if you're not satisfied with it, search for ADO tutorials in MSDN.

I'm learning about vector STL containers, is this also considered an array?
|
|
|
|
|
No. But it can do many of the same types of things that an array can, and a bit more. Vectors are dynamic arrays, in that they can grow as you add elements to them. They are similar to arrays in that they provide the subscript operator[] (you can use standard array notation).
Use a vector if your code might throw exceptions.
Use a vector if most of your inserts will be at the back, and few near the front (otherwise consider deque or list).
Use a vector to support better initialisation.
Always prefer standard containers, list, vector, deque to arrays. less code, cleaner code, better support for copying - and in the end easier to work with.
[edit]Most vectors are internally implemented as arrays, but that shouldn't matter to the end user.[/edit]
