Hi guys,
This is my first post so excuse the low level of expertise, I've only been playing with DirectDraw for just over a week.
Anyway, the thing I want to do is read several bitmap files from a directory and display them consecutivley (like a movie). I've been searching the internet for useful files and have been using several tutorials and code snippets to get the job done. I basically started with this project (http://www.codeproject.com/directx/basicdd.asp) and edited from there. I got the bitmaps to play full screen and then made the transition to windowed mode. I followed the tutorials and everything actually works, the only thing is that I get garbage on my screen! I get a pinkinsh/whiteish mix of a distorted plain and everey now and then I can seet he bitmap which is loaded flicker on the screen but only for an extremely short time. I'm wondering if anyone can spot my mistake, here's my source:

I need to create a modeless dialog but when I use Create() the dialog quickly appears and disappears.
As an expirement I tried cerating a quick dialog-based app using the C++ wizard and created a button that brings up the about box (as created by the wizard) without using DoModal.
Does anyone know how to do this please? It's quite frustrating.

|

If you could post the code how you are creating the modeless dialog box may be that would pin point the prob.
any ways here how i would create the modeless dialog.
CMydialog *pDialog;
pDialog = new CMydialog;
pDialog->Create(CMyDialog::IDD);
pDialog->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

Your code works fine. It was exactly the same as mine only you used a pointer to a dialog and I used an instance directly. Doesn't really make much sense to me but as long as it works, I'm happy right now 
Thanks for your help.

|
|
|
|
But do remember that the dialog object is created using new so there should be a corresponding delete as well.
usally the modeless dialogs are self deleteing,
you put
delete this
in OnDestroy event.

Actually, the this pointer should be deleted in PostNcDestroy().

Don't forget to override the OnCancel() member function and call DestroyWindow() from within it. Don’t call the base class CDialog::OnCancel(), because it calls EndDialog(), which will make the dialog box invisible but will not destroy it.

well your problem might be as it seems from the description :
You are creating the dialog variable in the OnButtonXXX() function, and when you create the modeless dialog, means CreateDialog returns at that very moment, and so does your funtion ( after calling ::ShowWindow(...)). And when your function ends, scope of your dialog ends (this is the reason for flashing, it creates, then ShowWindow() gets called and then scope ends.  ), Try to make the variable outside the function (class variable or global), and try the same code, hopefully it will work.

I am unable to find the right combination to open a file on a server using a unc path in VC++ 6.0.
From the Run command I would enter "\\server\share\folder\test.txt"
If I use this with the ShellExecute open command it does not work. (I double-up the backslashes and send "\\\\server\\share\\folder\\test.txt")
If I send "F:\\folder\\test.txt" it does work, but that is not what I need as I do not know the local drive letter for the server.
I have found that if I send the Directory as "\\server\\share" and the File as "folder\\test.txt" this works. This is odd as the backslashes for the server have not been doubled.
What is the trick to sending the full unc path to open a file with ShellExecute.

Thank you for confirming that this should work. I was able to enter a string of that format and it worked for me.
After much experimentation I have realised that if I send the data as a variable I do not need to double the backslashes as C++ does not strip out the extra ones - which is why it didn't work.
Therefore I pass from my form the standard format \\server\share\folder\file and it works.
Thanks for helping me find the obvious.

I need a list control like in the left pane of the FileOpen dialog(you can see it in left of the MS WORD open file dialog), which list the Histroy, Desktop, My computer etc.
it like a OutlookBar, but not a OutlookBar.
Thanks!

What you want is not possible using CFileDialog. You'll need to use GetOpenFileName() instead, specifying the OFN_EXPLORER flag.

Hi,
Maybe this is a too complex question but I will try to explain.
I have a CRichEditView derived class, to add text to that view I use getsel and setsel(gets the text add new and then set it back, maybe this is the wrong way?!). Anyway what I want to do now is let the user to scroll around in the text with arrow keys and so on while the text is still coming in. I have tried to disable autoscroll but then I removed the possibility to scroll with arrows and select text with the mouse beyond the views limits. What I'm trying to simulate is kind of the way the debug window in visual studio 6.0 works. Where the scrolling stops when the user navigates through the text.
Did I make any sense here?

hi,
I created an IE browser using CLSID_INTERNETEXPLORER.I wish to change the registry settings for this particular browser.For this the IDocHostUIHandler
interface is to be implemented.Is it possible to use this for browser created using CLSID_INTERNETEXPLORER or it works only for browser control created using CLSID_WEBBROWSER ?

However This[^] and the follow-up articles are a good primer for COM Automation.
Office Automation Using Visual C++[^] also has some good info.

Thanks a lot.
My problem with automation is that I don't understand type Variant very well and all of the parameters to automate a document has Variant types.
