I am not familiar with ADO and its I/O mechanism. Sounds like your design is valid and ADO is a blocking I/O model.

I need my program to view data from a .dbf file but I don't want to have to use a DBMS to do so. How would I go about doing this?
Parse the file myself?
Or is their a better way?

If you are not interested in using a DBMS, then your only recourse is to process the file yourself, not a trivial task by any means. See here, here and here for file format information.
Why not use ODBC? Create a DSN using the ODBC applet in Control Panel. Then you can use the CRecordset class to access the data. You can also create a DSN-less connection.

This is my first experience with a database of any sort...
My program only needs to update data from a .dbf from a cd once a month, so it doesn't have to be efficient, and no writing is needed either. I cannot distribute any software with my hardware that is not already installed on windows, for example Microsoft Access, etc.
If I use ODBC, (I know very little about it now) would my program be able to access the file without having to distribute a DBMS along with my own software?

If no writing is needed, then how are you going to update the .dbf file?

Most drivers come preinstalled with the OS.

Most likely, yes. Newer technologies exist (e.g., ADO, DAO), but I've not had the privilege of using them. One of these days I'll give 'em a whirl, though.

Actually, I am updating a text file on the harddrive with a subscription from a cd that contains a .dbf file with the data I need.
Thank you very much for all your help and advice. I was under the impression that you would have to buy Access and have it installed in order for your program to use the drivers. I guess it is time to learn some database programming!
Thanks again.

With some databases, this might be the case, but not with Access.

Hi
When i send my request using CHttpConnection to the server using the POST method my "+" sign is replaced by blank space. I am sending the header as
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n
can any body help me in this what type of header i should send so that it won't replace the "+" sign .
Thanks

You need to URLEncode the +, because in a URL, + is a synonym for a blank space.
You should replace your + with %2B.

Hi,
I m using CRichEditCtrl in a Dialogbox, How can I capture the Lost Focus event of CRichEditCtrl.
|
|
|
|
|
Does OnKillFocus() not work?

Thanks for replying
No, OnKillFocus() is not working.
Actually wat i have done is create a subclass of CRichEditCtrl and that i have included in the Dialog that facilitates me to capture KeyPress event.
The code snippet is sumthing like this:
BOOL CSend::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
extern char userStatus[50];
if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN)
strcpy(this->userStatus,"Typing");
return CRichEditCtrl::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}
but , then i have find out that Lost Focus is Mouse event and that cannot be handled using abouve snippet so i have tried a different this which is as follows:
BOOL CChat::OnNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, LRESULT* pResult)
{
// TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class
NMHDR* pNMHDR = (NMHDR *)lParam;
if(pNMHDR && pNMHDR->code == NM_KILLFOCUS)
{
CWnd *pFocus = CWnd::GetFocus(); // call to a static function
if(pFocus &&(pFocus->GetParent() == this))
{
if(pFocus->GetDlgCtrlID() == TXT_SEND)
MessageBox("here",NULL,MB_OK);
}
}
return CDialog::OnNotify(wParam, lParam, pResult);
}
OR
BOOL CChat::OnCommand(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
// TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class
UINT notificationCode = (UINT) HIWORD(wParam);
return CDialog::OnCommand(wParam, lParam);
}
But stll unable 2 capture lost focus event of CRichEditCtrl.

See if CRichEditCtrl::SetEventMask(ENM_MOUSEEVENTS | ENM_KEYEVENTS) is of any use?

I am using Microsoft Flexgrid 6.0 in my application.
however when I try to maximize the application window , flexgrid does not get expanded in proportion to expansion and looks ugly.
any idea of setting up flexgrid such that it will expand according to the boundries of window in which it is embeded.
thanks
sanjay

Handle the WM_SIZE message for the parent window, and call MoveWindow on the control to resize the FlexGrid.

Dear all,
What is the simplest way to change the font size of an edit control? For ex., to change from 8 pt to 10 pt.
Thanks.
BRs.

Assuming that this is a dialog project, call CEdit::SetFont() in the dialog's OnInitDialog() method. You'll first need to create a font, presumably with a CFont object that belongs to the dialog itself.

Thanks so much, David. Is that the simplest and fastest way?

Yes. I think you can also do it in the resource editor, but that might force you to change the font for the entire dialog page in question, and you might not want to do that.
Sometimes I feel like I'm a USB printer in a parallel universe.

If by "simple" you mean "shortest," then I would have to say yes.

Hi,
I am making an SDI program that needs to switch between "2 panes on the left, 1 on the right" and "1 left, 1 right"
I'm creating the 2 left panes by nesting a CreateStatic in another Splitter. (I make my CreateStatic calls from OnCreateClient) My idea is to somehow (after OnCreateClient) change the nested splitter from 2 rows to just one.
** My question is this: Is there a way I can Redefine my nested splitter and change the number of rows that it displays?
If there is a simpler way to solve this problem please let me know. I have looked at the splitter classes here on CP, but they seem to offer a lot of features that i don't want/need, and if a simpler solution exists I would prefer that.
Thanks.
Mike
