THANKS!! Your code made me think a bit Smile | :)

and found out these simple lines to send a message:

_MailItem mail = app.CreateItem( 0 ); // (0 == _MailItem)<br />
mail.SetTo( "blubb@syd.kth.se" );<br />
mail.SetSubject( "Mail from VC++ automation" );<br />
mail.SetBody( "The BODY" );<br />
mail.Send();<br />

but still I'd like to find any MS Outlook C++ Reference somewhere. I googeld but no success.

Qué?
You can place your queries anywhere you like. Whether the appropriate place to put yor DB queries is in the Document, View or even the Application class is up to your program's design.

Maybe you should read up a little bit more on the
Doc/View[^] architecture to help answer your question.

PROBLEM
Unable to understand the variation in size of object
All the code is tested under Borland C++ ver 3.1
In borland V3.1 the int takes two bytes
Lets look at the following code

Class base<br />
{<br />
	public:<br />
		int b;<br />
		base()<br />
{}<br />
		virtual void f() {}<br />
		virtual void g() {}<br />
};<br />
Class derive : virtual public base<br />
{<br />
	public:<br />
		int d;<br />
		derive()<br />
		{}<br />
		virtual void f() {}<br />
		virtual void g() {}<br />
};

………………
derive d;
cout<<sizeof(d); <b="">gives 12 why?
/*
But if I don’t give constructors in derive then the size of derive class object is 10, because there will be no 2 bytes extra in object layout as shown below. Please help me out about finding the myth of these extra two bytes.
*/

Can I ask why you need to know? A compiler is at liberty to decide how to layout a class - the C++ standard doesnt define this. I recall finding a description of different methods on the net, so you should be able to find the details from google. I would imagine the extra byte is for some internal use by the Borland compiler, or maybe even just for padding. Either way, you shouldnt base code upon the size of an object, as compilers will give different sizes.

Saving 2 bytes! You must be kidding - for a 1 000 instances of the class, this means (less than) a meagre 2 kbs of wasted space. This is not uncommon - "wasting" memory, that is - structs will be padded, for example, for reasons of performance.

You should just leave this to the compiler-writers, madness lies in this direction Smile | :)

It may have everything to do with keeping VTables on 4-byte boundaries.
Since VTables will resolve into pointers to functions in derived classes, they want to keep them aligned so the performance on the CPU is better.
As an experiment, you can try changing

public:
int b;
base()

into

public:
byte b;
base()

And you will still probably get 12.

Then try

public:
int b;
int c;
base()

And you might still get 12.

I think it has do do with optimizing pointers to tables of function pointers, myself.

Hello Guys,
How ru doing, I need some help in FTP, first i will clearly explain u the situation.....
i have one one FTP user login, i have logged into the FTP server with that login, now by code i need to know how much space like .... The total space allocated for the user, the space occupied by the user, and the remaining space.

currently i have one solution...but its not working fine...i.e i can execute a FTP command through code like "ls", doing this will return a string to me containing the result(text string) for the executed command. the problem here is this is not working all the time....if the data commection is lost it just hangs offff and many other problems are there.

in UNI*/perl

<br />
$dir = "/myserver/mydir";<br />
$aa=qx(du -s -k -m $dir);<br />
print "<BR>size of website in MB $aa<BR>";

in FTP I think your only solution is to manually recurse through all the subdirectories geting the size of each file, if you are using the MFC CFtpFileFind is one solution

When you click the property sheet OK button it will close the property sheet.

I suggest you do something like this:

1) Add a button to your page called "Calculate" for want of a better name.
2) Add the appropriate handler for the button press BN_CLICKED.
3) In the button handler code, add your values and set the third control.

When you press the calculate button you will then see the result.

Data base Question ( VC++ and ACCESS)

Anonymous1-Jul-04 20:43

i m using VC++ n Access as Database

if i m using hard code values of date n month n year its gives result fine

as query is

rs->Open(AFX_DB_USE_DEFAULT_TYPE, "SELECT * FROM Record WHERE (([Record].[Date] Between #9/27/2001# And #7/30/2004#))");

But i wanaa use values of date . year n month that r input by user .. in form of String or integer in variables .. m_date . m_month .. and m_year.

how can i use these variables values in Query now

i used like this but Wrong Query message appears
rs->Open(AFX_DB_USE_DEFAULT_TYPE, "SELECT * FROM Record WHERE (([Record].[Date] Between #m_month/m_date/m_year# And #m_month1/m_date1/m_year1#))");

I also Tried by TO_Date Function ,, but its said undefined function

how can i do it by user values ..

thanx

You have the right idea here. First create a valid SQL string, using the variables that you have set up for user input.
So if you have the int variables: m_monthx, m_datex and m_yearx. Then all you have to do is modify your code like:

<code>
CString strSQL.

<font color=green>// create your sql statement</font>
strSQL.Format(_T("SELECT * FROM Record WHERE (([Record].[Date] Between #%d/%d/%d# And #%d/%d/%d#))"),
m_month1, m_date1, m_year1, m_month2, m_date2, m_year2);

<font color=green>// open recordset with these user-defined values</font>
rs->Open(AFX_DB_USE_DEFAULT_TYPE, (LPCTSTR)strSQL);
</code>

Handle the ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI event for your "Start"/"Stop" menu item and then in that handler function something along the lines of...

if(bStartMode)
    pCmdUI->SetText("Start");
else
    pCmdUI->SetText("Stop");

You could have code in the ON_COMMAND event handler to toggle the mode from start to stop. Hope this helps. Big Grin | :-D

Nothing happens!

Why have you put the code in the update handler for FileExit?

You need to put it into the update handler for the menu item Start in the options menu.

I know that, i was testing if my Exit menu item will change it's caption. It was a test app, which does nothing. Just a menu with File>Exit. Clicking the Exit does not execute any function. So i just wanted to test if the caption changes, but it doesnt! Why?
