A user requires special privilege to write to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
If you store user-secific settings in a file, make sure to put them in a 'company specific' subfolder of the user's douments and settings folder, so if they 'roam' it should be available on the network.
If you use the MSDN and read about terminal services, you can be made very aware of ths issues of supporting multiple users from the same computer. Also, there are the windows logo guidelines that detail where your program should write certain classes of files to certain subdirectories on the computer.

Ahoy..
I guess you all probably know the folder dialog in Visual Studio whenever you're creating a new project. You can choose to browse for the desired folder to put your project in, like this:
http://www.blacksmith-studios.dk/ChooseFolder.JPG[^]
Anyways, I'm wondering how one can do this in MFC? It seems the CFileDialog class doesn't support the selecting of folders :S
Thanks a bunch

Will SHBrowseForFolder() suffice?

I am familiar with using PropertySheets in a Dialog application . Basically , I create the PropertySheet in my main dialog and add PropertyPages to it . Now I was looking at CTabCtrl as a common control that I can drag and place on my main Dialog . How do I manage whats shown ?
As for eg :
Say If I had a PropertyPage with the following :
Page 1 : 1 radio Button(A) , 1 editBoxe(B)
Page 2 : 1 Combo Box (C)
Now If i dont use a PropertyPage , but want to use a CTabCtrl ?
Do I need to create A , B and C all at once and keep hiding the appropriate based on the Tab selection ?
How does it work ?
Engineering is the effort !

Yes, since TabControl does nothing except of drawing pages tabs, you will have to do everything yourself. You don't have to create all controls at once, only those which are curently shown. I prefer creating/hiding full dialogs - you create dialogs in resource editor, make it no-border, control-style, and than switch it by TabControl notification.

I use the shell's supplied IExtractImage interface to extract thumbnail-images of files...
When the shell tries to get the thumbnail image for a .url file, it sometimes fails, which is cool, but it also decides to popup an annoying message box saying 'The Page !@#!@# could not be loaded and rendered within the timeout period' or something slightly different on other OSs.
Explorer obviously doesn't show these messageboxes, but how ? There doesn't seem to be a way to influence this through the interface, has anybody hit this problem ?
thanks

Hello everyone,
I am in the middle of designing my first MFC application and I was wondering what I would use the windows registry for. Why would I use the windows registry? I see alot of applications enter infromation into the windows registry but I never understood why they would put it there or what they would put it there for. Can anyone help explain this to me??
Thanks in advance!

 if you have some settings or data, that you want to store between two starts of your app, you can save it to the registry.
if you have a ListControl, you can save the size and the sort-order of the Control in the registry, so the App is more customizable for the user.
|
|
|
|
|
You could use the registry to store the last-size/position of your application and other information about it's state when it was closed.
You can save application-settings in the registry.

Hello:
Anybody who can point me to a good free C++ code beautifier??
I have tried Artistic Style (astyle), but it seems to be little old and have few bugs in it.
Thanks.

|
|
|
|
don't understand the reason...
you don't know writing pure beautiful code??? ;P
TOXCCT >>> GEII power
|
|
|
|
|
Oh no, we are translating VB to C++, but the generated C++ code is left aligned, not indented, for loops being on 1 line...so its dirty...thats the reason we need the beautifier.
Any clue on which is a good one out on web?
|
|
|
|
|
oh, sorry now i understand... lol
hem, tell me, why don't you write a little console program that get your source, and that return you a "beautiful" code ?
it might take few lines i think...
otherwise, nop, i don't have any idea about what you're looking for.

I have used indent++ several years ago, and it was nice, although requiring some tuning. But I could not find it's home page now. But quick google bought me these links, I will appreciate, if you post results of your testing here

Thanks, will take a look at the links.
But basically I need some reliable (not too old)
beautifier, which is being maintained regularly bcoz I have to ship the beautifier with my product.
|
|
|
|
|
Load the file in Visual C++ editor ver 6( i dont know about .net studio),
press ctrl^a to select all of the code, and the press
alt-F8
voila you code is beautifull.
|
|
|
|
|
VC++ ver6 wont help bcoz I need to hook up this beautifier in my project and also would need to ship it bcoz it executes in run-time.
Basically, I need something which is cheap but reliable and the software size should be relatively small.

Hi all,
I 'm trying to establish a RPC communication using the protocol sequence
'ncacn_http' but unable to succeed. I'm already done with 'ncacn_ip_tcp'. But since 'ncacn_ip_tcp' cannot pass through a DMZ, I want to make use of HTTP communication (ncacn_http). I want to keep the RPC Server inside a DMZ (firewall) and RPC Client in the public domain. Pls reply with an example.
Thanks in advance,
Bhanu

I'm having trouble finding a method to automatically close and dismount a thumb drive in Windows 2K. I must automate the process such that the window dialogs don't popup. I can get it to close cleanly, but I can't the thumb drive power light to shut off to allow a clean dismount. Has anyone run into this situation?
