Add string requires the char* and you are suplying the BSTR here.
You need to convert it from UNICODE BSTR to the normal string or force the listbox to accept BSTRs

Re: Problem occurred ...please help

You could use CString to convert from UNICODE to char string like this: m_lbParties.AddString(CString(bstrParty)) or use WideCharToMultiByte function. You must also create list box before you call AddString.

Use NetWkstaGetInfo() to get the name of the domain to which the workstation belongs. Use NetWkstaUserGetInfo() to get the name of the domain in which the user is currently logged on

Changing the look and feel of button

Hello,

I have a button, I want to change the look of the button when the mouse is over and when the button is pressed and released. The look and feel should be similar i.e exact replica when a menu item button is clicked. I know that I have to do this in OnDrawItem. But without using bitmaps for changing the look and feel of button, I want to use some drawing operations. Can anyone please help me to do this?

OnMouseHover event will simply solve what u r looking for either with Image or test, just drop some code there and u will see the difference

HWND m_hDisplay;

m_hDisplay = CreateWindowEx ( WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, RICHEDIT_CLASS, NULL,

Where's the code?

Clicked on File Menu
Selected New Project
Selected "MFC AppWizard (exe)"
Selected Dialog Based
I got a new dialog that has 2 buttons - OK, CANCEL.

Q. Where's the code that adds them? What's a newbie got to do to get with this stuff?
Q. Are there any tutorials that describe step by step application UI development with screenshots or explain what the Class Wizard does and how somethings done there can be undone?
Q. Finally, how does one create a tabbed page?

you need to start off by buy a book on visual c++ or taking some classes or finding lots and lots of tutorials online
and yes there are tons even here.
and creating a tab page is somewhat complicated you would need more than basic programming skill to create a tabbed page
anywhere here is a tutorial on making a dialog based app

In the project's .rc file.

Start off small and practice.

Most start with MSDN's Scribble example. It's a very comprehensive tutorial.

also as you can see i want it to remain attached to the left side of the window and to just resize verticly wich works fine. can anyone help me?

<br />
	CRect rect, rect2, rect1;<br />
<br />
	GetClientRect(&rect);<br />
<br />
	tree.GetClientRect(&rect2);<br />
<br />
	rect1.top = rect.top+24;<br />
	rect1.left = rect.left;<br />
	rect1.right = rect.right+rect2.Width();<br />
//i also tried rect1.right = rect2.right and the same issue happens<br />
	rect1.bottom = rect.bottom;<br />

The problem is that MoveWindow() works in window coordinates, but GetClientRect() doesn't return the full size of the window, only the client area. It doesn't include the borders, or the scrollbars or anything else in the non-client area. Change tree.GetClientRect() to tree.GetWindowRect() and it should work nicely.

Hai,
I want to print % symbol in my printf statement..
eg : printf(" Error is %.2f %",val); ie it should print Error is 5.00%
How should I do this??
thanks.

in order to print a % use \% if you wannt print a \ do \\ or a quote mark would be \"
they are all escape sequances similar to \n or \r

Re: printf in C

Ryan Binns13-Oct-04 18:20

Using %% in the format string will output a single % symbol. So your format string should be " Error is %.2f %%".

Or use %c in the format string
printf(" Error is %.2f %c",val,'%');

Movie player's seeking bar - how should I design one?

Indrawati13-Oct-04 15:01

13-Oct-04 15:01

Hi I am creating a simple movie player with VC++ 6, and I am planning to create a custom control in the GUI for its seeking purpose (I want to be able to modify the color and look of the seeking bar). I am unsure though, which control should I inherit from for this purpose, CSliderCtrl or CProgressCtrl? CProgressCtrl seems appropriate because the seeking bar is periodically updated when the movie is playing, however, I also want the user to move the seeking bars, something which is provided by CSliderCtrl. Could someone help me on this? Or is there another control which is more appropriate than the two?

Thanks!
