Therre are some tools that watch files and can get if the file change or not(I know how to do it),I want to know is that possible to get the changes for the file too? For example what is written to the file or the location of it or what is read from it?
I want to write a lock for my software and want to keep some information in a file,and now want to know if it is possible to spy it in this way?

Make sure you have SP 5. Other than that, there's nothing special you need to do to use VC 6 on XP.

Hi,
I made an atl server and added few interfaces, accidently my friend added an interface which is MTA, now i know MTA will fail in this design. Hence i want to convert it to STA. Is there any way to convert the existing interface from MTA to STA with minimum effort?
Thank you very much.

I assume you're talking about an implementation here, not interfaces. Interfaces are just a collection of methods.
In the inheritance list of the C++ class implementing the interface, change any occurence of CComMultiThreadModel to CComSingleThreadModel. In the RGS file, change the ThreadingModel value to Apartment.

	    <br />
if ( VT_NULL==Holder.vt ) str="N/A";<br />
		<br />
else str.Format("%.2f", Holder.dblVal);<br />
        <br />
m_ListCtrl.SetItemText(i, 7, str);<br />

%f is the format specifier for a float, use %lf for a double.

menu bar

Does anyone know if there is a way to reset the colour of a menu bar to the same as the background of a dialog? To set dialog background colour, one uses SetDialogBkColor(). With a menu in the dialog, one gets an ugly grey stripe across the top. OK! I know I'm sick and demented and should be using CFrameWnd, but I LIKE dialogs!! And, for a newcomer, they're a damn sight easier to use!! You would be making 2004 start pleasantly for me!!!

Using SetFont() on a button control

shultas31-Dec-03 11:32

31-Dec-03 11:32

Hello all.

I am trying to change the text/style of my button(s). Instead of the default, I want to make them Tahoma, 14pt. The code that I am using to do this is listed below. What is happening is this: If I put this code in the OnInitDialog() or OnPaint(), it somewhat works. The button will look different than the other ones, but now how I am specifying it to look. No matter what nHeight size that I use, it initializes to this same size every time, and bold. But, the funny thing is that the same exact code when used inside an OnBnClickedButton1() changes the font for that button text to exactly what I want. I am wondering why this same code is not working properly in the OnInitDialog() / OnPaint() ??

Also: I am wondering if there is a way to set the default font for the dialog buttons or set the font / size for the button text with the resource editor (instead of having to have code to "change" the font of the button) ?

Thanks

CFont ListBoxFont;
ListBoxFont.CreateFont(
14, // nHeight
0, // nWidth
0, // nEscapement
0, // nOrientation
FW_NORMAL, // nWeight
FALSE, // bItalic
FALSE, // bUnderline
0, // cStrikeOut
ANSI_CHARSET, // nCharSet
OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS, // nOutPrecision
CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, // nClipPrecision
DEFAULT_QUALITY, // nQuality
DEFAULT_PITCH | FF_SWISS, // nPitchAndFamily
"Tahoma"); // lpszFacename
m_button1.SetFont(&ListBoxFont,TRUE);

try making new CFont object using CFont* ListBoxFont = new CFont;

that might work... just an idea

Your CFont object needs to be moved to the header file of your dialog class.

What's happening is that the CFont object is being created on the stack within your function and when the function exits the CFont object goes out of scope and it's destructor is being called.

This would be a nice feature. Microsoft, are you listening?

Declare CFont in .h file

When I put the declaration of Cfont on the .h file, it whined saying that multiple definitions were found (probably because that .h file is included in several places). (I did not put it in the class declaration, but after the class declaration).

But, what I did is right up top in my .c file where the <include> statements were, I put Cfont ListBoxFont; in there and it worked perfectly Big Grin | :-D

Thanks for the tips!

Try to put the CFont declaration in the class scope, as a class member.

That has essentially the same effect I believe. Since here it's been declared as a global variable, the CFont still exists after exiting OnInitDialog()

When ou click on a window, it will become active and you'll recieve your mouse messages.

when you window is minimized, you want to capture mouse clicks inside another window?

Probably best to look into hooks Smile | :)
