Transparent line & Status bar gripper sschilachi30-Mar-04 7:33 sschilachi 30-Mar-04 7:33  When I remove the WS_THICKFRAME style from my window, I get a 1 pixel wide transparent line around the view (I am using the document/view architecture). Also I cannot figure out how to remove the gripper from the status bar, I have tried removing the CBRS_GRIPPER value using m_wndStatusBar.ModifyStyle(CBRS_GRIPPER,0) but that doesn't work. Go to http://a.domaindlx.com/sschilachi/snooker.JPG[^] to see a screenshot of the window Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Re: Transparent line & Status bar gripper David Crow30-Mar-04 7:52 David Crow 30-Mar-04 7:52  Something is definitely odd here. I took an SDI application and removed the WS_THICKFRAME style in CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(). I compared the result to what it normally shows, and there is no transparent line and the gripper is gone, too. You might want to create a temporary SDI application to play around with that style some more.

I suggest investing on a real tool, such as Rational Rose's UML toolset. While not the best one, it's up for the task of designing many, many types of applications. Naturally, the very best way to design a software is to use pen & paper. Write, my friend, write down every little detail you can think of your application, what it does, how it does it, how can people use it, what components should it have. Faster than you notice, you have a clear application skeleton to build on. -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.

I have seen this with Rational Rose's tools. The program is good for creating the initial layout and possibly some case views or sequences, but for code generation purposes, you get much cleaner results by manually writing the code... -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.

CFileDialog problem all of a sudden... CherezZaboro30-Mar-04 7:28 CherezZaboro 30-Mar-04 7:28  Ok. After installing (or so it seems) VC 6 SP5 and Platform SDK from begining of 2003 I get access violation in kerner32.dll at 77e7a67a when local object of CFileDialog is being destroyed. Why? If I try to allocate CFileDialog with new and deallocate it with delete it works. Other common dialogs work fine as local objects on the stack. One more observation: costom file dialog which derived from CFileDialog and extends UI won't work on both stack AND heap. What could be wrong? Simple AppWizard generated app doesn't have this problem. Thanks a lot! Re: CFileDialog problem all of a sudden... Neville Franks30-Mar-04 9:47 Neville Franks 30-Mar-04 9:47  I'd start by looking at the stack back trace in the debugger when the violation occurs and see if you can work out what is causing it. My guess is you have had a bug all along and it has just decided to show itself for whatever reason.

CherezZaboro31-Mar-04 7:47 CherezZaboro 31-Mar-04 7:47  No! I Found it! The problem is that _WIN32_WINNT is defined 0x500 or higher. When one wants to use certain Win 2000 APIs with Platform SDK this problems comes up. See acticle on this. printing orientation garybodily30-Mar-04 7:08 garybodily 30-Mar-04 7:08  I need to print out a series of pages where each page can be a different orientation. That is the first is landscape, the second is portrait, then back to landscape, etc. Thus I can't use the code to change the default orientation but have to set it each time. With the printing outlined in a CView class it only makes sense to make the change in OnPrepareDC, or perhapes in OnPrint. Thanks in advance for your help.

These are loads of questions and it looks to me as you want us to do all your homework. If you're not able to solve some easy problems yourself then just don't do it... I don't like guys that don't ask for simple things like API names they don't know, but this sucks! Don't try it, just do it!

This guy didn't even know what excactly he wants to do. He didn't care himself, he just asked because he thinks that it is the "easy" way. When I ask a question here then I have looked for the answer myself. I don't like the way some people are asking here, because they want to get explained how to do their whole project (and they mostly don't even know how to code), and this is not acceptable. This is the same as if I would ask you how I can do a game like half-life.... a silly question. Don't try it, just do it!

I just need that when the view do the OnInitialUpdate I launch a thread that starts to do things but related to the view. I've read about this and tried with AfxBeginThread(Myfunc,NULL); But myfunc cannot be one of the view, there is a way to do this with a method of the view like CMyView::GetData() Best Regards Doc Re: Newbie threading problem Jesse Evans30-Mar-04 6:16 Jesse Evans 30-Mar-04 6:16  doctorpi wrote: But myfunc cannot be one of the view I think you're referring to the fact that a member function can't be threaded.
