what version of DirectX are you using? I have 9 and I just looked in my help files for that function, and this is what I came up with: notice they have the '8' stuck in the middle of the function name.
<big>DirectInput8Create Function</big>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creates a Microsoft® DirectInput® object and returns an IDirectInput8 or later interface.
Syntax
HRESULT WINAPI DirectInput8Create( HINSTANCE hinst,
DWORD dwVersion,
REFIID riidltf,
LPVOID *ppvOut,
LPUNKNOWN punkOuter
);
Parameters

I have it working! Im not sure what Ive done but my app compiled and worked.
I think I did the following:
#include <dinput.h>
#define DIRECTINPUT_VERSION 0x0700
rather than
#define DIRECTINPUT_VERSION 0x0700
#include <dinput.h>
DINPUT.H has its own DIRECTINPUT_VERSION defined and so I needed to define my own before I included the DINPUT.H file. Sorry for wasting your time on such a mistake.
As for the DirectInput8Create() function it seems that this is a improved function introduced in DirectX 8. This might explain why the other function doesnt work properly with DirectX 9. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Im going to ditch the article I was using as it seems as though it was made for much older DirectX versions and research these new DirectX 8 functions.
Thanks for your help!

Trying to compose a MDI GUI like this, But still not yet figure out how to after a few days. Can anyone hlep? great thanks.
The GUI carries these features:
1. is a MDI.
2. a panel on the left side, which works like 'Search' panel in Win2K IE:
2-1. able to hide.
2-2. remain last setting and input when hide and re-show.
2-3. not float-able.
2-4. resizable.
First I tried to place a splitter into Client Window in MDI, but failed. Then I tried to use resizable controlbar, but can not satisfy requirement 2-3.
Any advices or ideas will be appreciated.

First I tried to place a splitter into Client Window in MDI,
why ?
I would do it with a dynamic splitter window, seems that it fits the required behaviour.
create a CSplitter, and put in either a formview or a child dialog.

Thank you, Maximilien.
Using MDI because that there will be many different child windows in the right side, and they will are abled to be organized in any layouts which users prefer.
So a splitter may not fit.

you want that window/pane attached to what ? the main frame or the MDI child windows ?
if it's the main frame, I think that using an undockable toolbar/dialogbar/sizablebar is the way to go, if the mdi child frame windows, I stand by the use of a splitter window.

This is one of the choices offered by AppWizard.

You need to add a CSplitterWnd object to the CMDIChildWnd-derived class. Then override the OnCreateClient() member function. Call CreateStatic() from within OnCreateClient(). You might also need to make two calls to CreateView().

Nothing special required for this.

Outside the context of a toolbar, I'm not sure what you mean by this.

Thank you, DavidCrow.
Let me make it clear the requirement.
1. is a MDI: the 'panel' will locate in the left-hand side of the main window, while ClientWindow of MDI will locate in the right-hand side. Therefore, all child frame will be working in the left-hand side of the main window. So using splitter may not fit.
2-3 not float-able: because I try to use controlbar to build up the panel. but failed to make it un-float-able. Then I addd this item as a reference.

I use external library to make my application in multilanguage.
So I need to change all texts in the interface.
But I have a problem with tooltip on toolbars.
Another way : Maybe there is a solution to change the value of the "string table" in my programm (I cannot create many "string table" because I use external library)
Hope someone can help me.
Regards,
Jérémy.

Hello everybody
see this:
CString myID;
myID="IDC_BUTTON1";
GetDlgItem(myID)->SetWindowText("");
any idea?
Best wishes.
Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
CString myID;
myID = _T("Any Text");
GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON1)->SetWindowText(myID);

The problem you have is that GetDlgItem does not take a string as a parameter.
When you write
GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON1)->SetWindowtext("");
The compiler replaces the define IDC_BUTTON1 with its numeric value (see resource.h)
What would work is
int myID;
myID = IDC_BUTTON1;
GetDlgItem(myID)->SetWindowText("");
Unless I have misunderstood your problem.

Just starting out,
Problem is that when I read a button name from a text file and
assign it using a control variable and the setwindowtext function, i seem to
get an extra character printed on the button.
I am using fgets to read a string from a text file.
Any help will be gratefully accepted.

It sounds like the string also contains the newline character.

Replace it with a '\0' character.

Fetch the content in a CString type variable and then use the TrimRight() function with no parameters. When used with no parameters, TrimRight removes trailing newline, space, and tab characters from the string.

winzip setup is a single program with exe extenstion, such as winzip80.exe.
But it is a zipped file also - we can use winzip to unzip the exe file.
the exe file is also self-executable - we can run it by double click it.
OK, I want to create a file similar to the exe file programmatically:
1) with exe as extension
2) contains multiple file inside (a zipped file) and can be unzipped by winzip.
3) self-executable by double click it.
do you have idea to implement the file?
thx
