Re: Executing a database macro from VC++ duggie19-Sep-01 4:01 duggie 19-Sep-01 4:01  I don't know a whole lot about OleAutomation. Would you direct me to some place where I can find sample code. Thanks, Re: Executing a database macro from VC++ Carlos Antollini19-Sep-01 4:23 Carlos Antollini 19-Sep-01 4:23  You can see into the MSDN Q192348. This Article, have a sample of AleAutomation with Excel You can make the same with Access. Cheers!!! Carlos Antollini. Re: Executing a database macro from VC++ Todd Smith18-Sep-01 11:57 Todd Smith 18-Sep-01 11:57  Here's what you can do from VB Private Sub Form_Load() Access.OpenCurrentDatabase ("f:\Dev\test.mdb") Access.DoCmd.RunMacro "ExportAll" Unload Form1 End Sub Re: Executing a database macro from VC++ duggie19-Sep-01 4:06 duggie 19-Sep-01 4:06  If I were to use VBScript would the code be the same as above. Thanks, Re: Executing a database macro from VC++ Steen Krogsgaard18-Sep-01 23:06 Steen Krogsgaard 18-Sep-01 23:06  As Carlos has already pointed out you have to use OLE automation to do this. It's very important to keep in mind that MS Access is *not* a database - it's an application that implements an user interface to the Jet database. You can use the Jet database from VC++ through any of the technologies in MDAC - DAO, OLE DB, ADO, ODBC. But MS Access implements a number of features that makes your everyday use of the Jet database easier. This includes a query designer, a report generator and a macro facility. However, these functionalities belong to the Access application and *not* to the Jet database. AFAIK Access stores the these things in the Jet database as BLOB fields, but they are proprietary to Access and hence not accessible through the Jet connectivities. But as you can with all the MS Office applications you can "remote control" Access through OLE automation. It does however require that the user has MS Access installed on the PC. The free Jet engine is not sufficient. As Todd Smith has shown it is very easy to do automation from VB (ouch! I sad the word! I have to go and wash my mouth with soap;P ) Cheers Steen.

Is there a way of finding out the system tray position. The best I've found so far is the SPI_GETWORKAREA parameter but this gives me the work area and not the position of the system tray. Any ideas, Michael Re: Position of SystemTray area Carlos Antollini18-Sep-01 11:16 Carlos Antollini 18-Sep-01 11:16  Look the Function SHAppBarMessage You can get the position of TaskBar. With that position you can put your Dialog over the TaskBar. You can see if your taskbar, is at left, Rigth, Tip or Bottom of your Screen. Cheers!!!! Carlos Antollini. ModifyMenu Why this doesn´t work ? Braulio Dez18-Sep-01 5:05 Braulio Dez 18-Sep-01 5:05  Hi, I´m trying to change the bitmap image ( Shown in the right side) of a context menu, I have tried this, but don´t works, What I have made wrong ? ( _DeleteCommentBitmap is a member variable of the view, and it´s a CBitmap one) pPopup->ModifyMenu( ID_WBS_POPUP_COMMENT, MF_BYCOMMAND, ID_WBS_POPUP_COMMENT, &_DeleteCommentBitmap); Thanks, Bye ! Braulio Minimize a dialog type app RobJones18-Sep-01 5:00 RobJones 18-Sep-01 5:00  Hello, I have a dialog type app and I need to make my own Minimize button.. Does anyone have a sample of code that would allow someone to create their own minimize button? Thanks, Rob Re: Minimize a dialog type app Michael P Butler18-Sep-01 5:06 Michael P Butler 18-Sep-01 5:06  Why do you need your own minimize button? Why not just capture the minimize button being clicked and do your own thing? Michael Re: Minimize a dialog type app RobJones18-Sep-01 5:24 RobJones 18-Sep-01 5:24  I have created a dialog type app that uses a bitmap for a background.. This allows me to create a non-rectangular dialog box (mine has rounded transparent corners and a nice skin/type look).. The problem is to do this I can't use a border on the dialog box nor can I use a title bar.. so I don't even have a minimize button on this dialog.. I need to make my own minimize button to minimize the app. Thanks, Rob Re: Minimize a dialog type app Michael P Butler18-Sep-01 5:34 Michael P Butler 18-Sep-01 5:34  Okay. I see. Where do you want to put the minimize button? I assume you know how to minimize the window ( ShowWindow(SW_MINIMIZE) ). Michael Re: Minimize a dialog type app RobJones18-Sep-01 5:49 RobJones 18-Sep-01 5:49  I'm pretty new to programming and I don't even know where to start on the minimize process.. I want the app to minimize to the tray/system bar like most other apps do by default.. Minimizing the app by the system clock would be awesome but it would probably require a lot more code and I assume it would be much more difficult, so for the time being just minimizing to the tray/system bar would be fine. Do you have sample code I could try? Thanks for you help and fast responses!!!! Rob Re: Minimize a dialog type app RobJones18-Sep-01 6:20 RobJones 18-Sep-01 6:20  Never mind the CDialog::ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMINIMIZE); worked fine Thanks!! Rob Re: Minimize a dialog type app Michael P Butler18-Sep-01 8:07 Michael P Butler 18-Sep-01 8:07  If you are interested in minimizing to the system tray (next to the clock), check out http://www.codeproject.com/shell/systemtray.asp Michael Creating a GUI in CVIEW 18-Sep-01 4:53 18-Sep-01 4:53  Hi! I've been searching and lurking around here looking for ways to create a GUI. It wasn't so easy to find info so I thought I'd confront you guys with questions that swirrel around in my head. I had to test things and appended a VM_LBUTTONCLICK to my CVIEW. in the code I had the following: [CODE] CDC *dc = this->GetDC(); dc->MoveTo(point); CButton *knapp = new CButton(); CRect rect; rect.bottom = point.y+20; rect.top = point.y; rect.left = point.x; rect.right = point.x+50; knapp->Create("test",BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON|WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP,rect,this->GetParent(),IDC_BUTTON_EXISTING_IN_ADIALOG); [/CODE] This did in turn create a button everywhere I pressed the left mousebutton. Fair enough; What I need now is an action beeing performed on pressing that button. For instance MessageBox("some message"); Say I placed the code somewhere ELSE, in OnInitialUpdate() forinstance. Creating only one button. Would this be a BAD and HARD way to create a GUI? Say that I would like editbox'es and stuff. (PS: anyone know of a tutorial on how to create a GUI?) In advance thanks, you're all great resources! Re: Creating a GUI in CVIEW Michael P Butler18-Sep-01 5:07 Michael P Butler 18-Sep-01 5:07  Can't you not use a CFormView and create your controls on the dialog resource? Michael Re: Creating a GUI in CVIEW 18-Sep-01 6:46 18-Sep-01 6:46  Yeah well.. You know what?! That idea.. You can just.. stuff it up.. hmm.. maybe.. Guess it wasn't quite so dumb afterall :P I might just do exactly that! Thanks man! =) I O U 1! =) "You know you're drunk when you can't even lie still on the floor without holding on to the floor" CMenu *pBitmap Braulio Dez18-Sep-01 4:06 Braulio Dez 18-Sep-01 4:06  Hi ! I have one option of a menu and I need to change the associated bitmap, in modifyMenu it asks me for a pointer to bitmap, but... Should I take care to destroy that bitmap or the menu handles it ? Thanks, Bye ! Braulio Re: CMenu *pBitmap Tomasz Sowinski18-Sep-01 4:44 Tomasz Sowinski 18-Sep-01 4:44  Should I take care to destroy that bitmap or the menu handles it ? You're responsible for destroying the bitmap. However, you should do it until the menu uses this bitmap. If you delete it earlier, you will see garbage in the menu item.

Everything works fine in release mode, but in debug mode, the application hangs upon exiting. If I remove the toolbar everything works okay. If I add just the definition of the toolbar and not the code, it hangs in debug mode. I'm using CToolbarEx to define the toolbar. Any ideal to what could be causing this????? Any thought, comment or assistance would be greatly appreciated. I found the following errors: memory check error at 0x00D45834 = 0x00, should be 0xFD. memory check error at 0x00D45835 = 0x00, should be 0xFD. memory check error at 0x00D45836 = 0x00, should be 0xFD. memory check error at 0x00D45837 = 0x00, should be 0xFD. Could this be anything??? Thank-you Sincerely, RAH Re: Toolbars Tomasz Sowinski18-Sep-01 4:13 Tomasz Sowinski 18-Sep-01 4:13  Ctrl+Break when app hangs and have a look at the call stack. You should be able to see where's the problem.

Worry about code readability - and in this case exiting early wins hands down.

Anyway, you can always try to run a profile batch against your program to know (your VC++ comes with a profiler tool). From the point of view of readability, my opinion is (in accordance with what others have said) that the first version is better: When you finally got to the main part of code all secondary scenarios are ruled out, and that makes it easier to concentrate on a smaller mental model of your problem. That's how my brain works at least. I guess this could make for an interesting discussion subject at the lounge. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo
