One solution is to instantiate a CFileDialog object and pass in a custom file-filter string.

How to write to a display that is not part of the desktop?

Carla F.7-Apr-04 10:30

7-Apr-04 10:30

Confused I am indeed...

I have an application that I'd like to use a dedicated display for some
specialized data/graphics..

I've installed an extra display adapter in the machine, and I can find it
using EnumDisplayDevices() and get an identifier string for the DeviceName,
such as {"\\.\DISPLAY2"} . . . .

However, when I attempt to do a CreateDC for this device, I get back a NULL
unless I have configured the system to include this display device as part
of the desktop, and obviously any attempt to write to it doesn't work...

I'd really like to just use the second display for my application specific
graphics without worrying about someone sliding a window over the top of it
and overwriting it...

Any suggestions as to what I should be doing? - and pointers to appropriate
documentation?

Thanks in advance

Carla

HWND problem with ListControl

krugger7-Apr-04 10:02

krugger

7-Apr-04 10:02

Hi;
I am building an SDI application which requires a list control found on Tabs of a DialogBar. I managed to initialise the list control to some value. However, users of the tool are required to log-in and the list control is supposed to fill dynamically according to their log. I tried some piece of code to get it done but i got an ENORMOUS assertion error.

This is what i get when i move to debug mode:

_AFXCMN_INLINE int CListCtrl::InsertColumn(int nCol, const LVCOLUMN* pColumn)
{ ASSERT(::IsWindow(m_hWnd)); return (int) ::SendMessage(m_hWnd, LVM_INSERTCOLUMN, nCol, (LPARAM)pColumn); }

Can someone please help me to understand what this means and possibly how to overcome it. I badly need this.

Thank you;

Krugger

It simplely means that the listcontrol was not created.. are you trying to insert something out of the scopeof the listcontrol variable or out of the dialog ???

Clearcase Users

armentage7-Apr-04 10:00

My company uses Clearcase and VC6 to develop a large application, with thousands of .h/.cpp files, all under source control. My workspace loads up 15 seperate projects, which each contain as many as a hundred seperate source-controlled elements.

The thing is, workspaces open up SLOW. VC6 loads the actual workspace & projects up very quickly, but then stops for up to 10 minutes "Updating Source Control Status". I know Clearcase can, be slow, but this is too much.

Does anyone have any advice on how to speed things up? It seems that VC6 is checking the checked-in/out status of each file individually, blocking the whole app until it is done with the thousands of files I work with. Is there anything I can do make this process go on in the background, or surpress it altogether?

I would appreciate any insights or comments.

I've something similar except that the application has only two projects and maybe a hundred source files. It can take nearly a minutes to fully load. I think the IDE is just not up to handling that many files. For some of my smaller one-project applications, it loads 'em almost instantly.

Unable to declare a const static int vairable ???

I have my ATL built CoClass.
In its header file i have:
static const int MAX_SPEED = 500;

But the compiler refuses to compile and throw me this freaking error.

c:\documents and settings\antonz\desktop\anton\c++ tests\atlcarserver\atlcocar.h(41) : error C2258: illegal pure syntax, must be '= 0'

Can anybody enlighten an idiot. Dead | X|

You can't initialize a static const in the class definition (confuses the compiler).

Declare the variable in the class definition, then in the .cpp file put

const int CoClass::MAX_SPEED = 500;

ISO C++ allows 'static const' variables as class members, as:

// Either in .cpp or in .h.
class MyClass
{
  static const _iN = 3;
};

But not VC++6.

At the risk of annoying whoever posted on this subject yesterday:

enum { MAX_SPEED = 500 };

The ability to initialise a constant within the class declaration was added to C++ quite late in the standardisation process, and VC6 doesn't support it.

Doubt in Property Sheets

Hi all,

I have one doubt in creating the wizards using property sheets. In my application i created the three property pages (dialog) with the size of 250x175. But whenever i included with the property sheet, i can't fix the size of the property sheet. How can i rearrange size property sheet.

And i have one more doubt.. Whether it is possible to place the "Back" and "Next" button in the customized position. I would like to place the "Back" button on the Top Left corner and "Next" button on the Top right corner. Whether it is possible ?

Waiting for ur reply

Prakash

The size of a property sheet is governed by the size of the largest property page. Are you wanting to differ from that?

Ddraw.h causing ambiguous symbol error

I am trying to learn DirectX DirectDraw, but when ever I include ddraw.h I get ambiguous symbol errors. The errors point to the following files and items:

ObjIdl.h
	BIND_OPTS
	STATSTG
RpcAsync.h
	FILETIME
ServProv.h
	IServiceProvider

I do not get these errors if I comment out the ddraw.h.

Any help would be great.

CANT SAY 4 SURE BUT JUST TRY THE FOLLOWING:

Make sure you have included the appropriate library files in your project.
In VC++ IDE, Select PROJECT>SETTINGS>LINK
Then add these library fils to the list of existing files:
1.ddraw.lib
2.dxguid.lib

Another problem may be with the static compile option. Make sure u havent included ddraw.h in any other file of ur project.

Debuging a service with VC++

Hi all,

I have written a simple service and would like to debug it with VC++. Is this possible? So far I have only managed to do it by installing a low-level debugger but that's a bit akward to use.

Thanks,
