Hi, is there a way to know how many files a given folder/drive contains WITHOUT having to "manually" (and slooowly) count them one by one via FindFirstFile() FindNextFile() etc.?
is there like a GetFileCount(LPCSTR path) API function?
Thanks!

No. You'll have to count them using FindFirstFile()/FindNextFile()

and then you can call the function you make GetFileCount(LPCSTR path)
and then post it here on codeproject Smile | :)

I'm using a connection string with a driverid of 277 to connect to a dbase database and then I create a table. When I open up the table in VFP 7 the integer column types are somehow converted to NUMERIC and are displayed as doubles or floats. Is this just because I'm opening it in foxpro? I'm specifying 'INTEGER' in my create table statement. the table will eventually have to be viewed from dbase, but I don't have dbase right now and I'm trying to make sure it's being exported right before I go too far with the app. Thanks in advance

If it's broken, I probably did it

How to set size to an activeX during Design time

During the design time, how do you set size to an activex control?
Also when you resize for example, mouse drag, how do you maintain the aspect ratio?

Your question is not clear. Any windows consist Printers and Faxes in Setings and you can send you document to printer or fax.

Sorry the question was badly posted how ever thanks as your reply answers it.
But how could one bypass the fax wizard and control the the sending of the fax from the application its self (eg a bulk fax mail adresses were each document has personalization and sending a fax over an exsisting call)

Hi all;

My database is an Access database named: datastructor.mdb

It is found in c:\datastructor and the password is datastructor

Can somebody plz plz help. I badly need very fast

Thank you before hand;

A DSN is just a registry key. Search the registry for a known one and you'll find the location.

Machine Idel time can be found out by using (Overriding) OnIdle, If you want the text from some other application EDIT box, you will need to use HOOKS and for finding different application(ie process running in memory) use PROCESSENTRY32.

EndDialog can be used to end a modal dialog box. The parameter supplied is the dialog's exit code, and is usually considered either one of the constants IDOK or IDCANCEL. PostQuitMessage will, instead, terminate the current thread and thus close the application as well. The parameter for it is the thread's exit code that is desired.

Creating non-document based applications

Adam Preble18-Mar-04 9:37

There are a lot of articles on CP covering designing doc/view apps, as well as numerous ones on hacking CDialog-based apps to behave more like them. Most of my apps don't deal with anything analagous to a document, so I tend to build off of CDialog.

I read some comments on an article of tips for dlg users that suggested using CFrameWnd and a CFormView instead of hacking on a menu and so on, but I haven't been able to find an article that actually fleshes this direction out.

What is the "right" way to create an app that's not document-based, but has menus and a status bar and so on? Is the CFrameWnd/CFormView the way to go?

Thanks,

Adam
