Hi all,
could anyone tell me how to write on the area before the panes of the status bar? That area where the word 'Ready' is placed. Thanks,

Just try using this member function of CFrameWnd:
CFrameWnd::SetMessageText
From MSDN:
Call this function to place a string in the status-bar pane that has an ID of 0. This is typically the leftmost, and longest, pane of the status bar

Hi Chauhan,
For what you said, sounds like you didn't implement the connection point for that event, does your control support connection points?
If you did implemented it, where did you put the call to the FireClick() function?, did you check that code is been call?

Hi Fabian,
Thanks for reply.
Actually I m very new to this topic , I have just read the code from Book and try to implement it.
No, I haven't implemented connection point for the event.
How can I do that? Please provide me some code snippet or suggest me some useful links from where I get the help.

using sscanf

Is using sscanf with structs harmful

Say i have two structs
struct {
int a ;
int b;
}A;
struct {
char c;
int d;
};B

void main()
{
struct A obj1;
struct B obj2;
string fileString;
.
.
sscanf(fileString.c_str(),"%d",&obj1.a);
sscanf(fileString.c_str(),"%d",&obj2.d);
}

Is there a bug in this ? Do i have to do some type of casting ?

I would write:

sscanf(fileString.c_str(),"%s",&obj1.a);
sscanf(fileString.c_str(),"%s",&obj2.d);

instead of:

sscanf(fileString.c_str(),"%d",&obj1.a);
sscanf(fileString.c_str(),"%d",&obj2.d);

and changing int's into strings.

You can't put a string into an int with no castring.

Your code is fine.

Although I think 'void main' is deprecated. And you could consider giving A and B an 'initialise from string' type constructor, so that the struct/class takes responsibility for its initialisation.

Anyone can tell me a website that explains how to create a visual control for visual c++ from 0 ??? any kind of control.... Or an article into this site, but I couldn't find anyone that explains how to create it.

Thank you so much.

GetThemeRect not returning a value...?

Anyone have any idea why:

RECT rect = {0, 0, 0, 0};<br />
<br />
if (GetThemeRect(hTheme, WP_MINBUTTON, MINBS_NORMAL, TMT_RECT, &rect) == S_OK)<br />
    {<br />
    // success<br />
    }

would return S_OK but not change the value of rect ?

hTheme is good and other Theme functions work.

Thanks.

checking outlook's inbox

I have read and looked over all the samples in this forum related to email and Outlook. I'm trying to find a way to actually programmatically retrieve all the Emails currently in the user's Inbox in Outlook, and to even delete them if needed. Most of the programs deal with getting the mail every time a new message is received, but I'm trying to write an app that can get all the actual emails that are actually in the user's inbox when the app starts, to then forward them to another email address (still using the original sender's emailaddress as the ReplyTo field) and deleting them if the user wants after they're forwarded. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA (thanks in advance);)

If it's broken, I probably did it

Using Outlook automation:

if (app.CreateDispatch("Outlook.Application") == TRUE)
{
    ns = app.GetNamespace("MAPI");
 
    ns.Logon(vtOptional, vtOptional, vtTrue, vtTrue);
 
    folderInbox = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox);
 
    itemsMessages = folderInbox.GetItems();
 
    for (int x = 0; x < itemsMessages.GetCount(); x++)
    {
        mi = itemsMessages.Item(COleVariant((long) x + 1L));
        TRACE("Message %d, subject = %s\n", x, mi.GetSubject());
    }
 
    ns.Logoff();
}

WoW!!! thanks!! that helps a whole hell of a lot. Do I have to include any certain files to use this? Where can I find any more documentation on this? Like so I can also delete those messages from the inbox? Hope I'm not asking too much Confused | :confused:

But I really appreciate all the help you've given me in the past (through others' posts also). Keep up the good work. Oh, also I value your opinion, I was wondering if you looked at the article I posted a few weeks ago entitled 'Modeler'? It's a directX application that i posted a few weeks ago. About 3,400 people have viewed it, but only 12 have rated it, and only 1 person has commented on it. I kinda wish there was a download counter instead of just a view counter so you could see how many people have downloaded your files.
