hi CPians, toxcct again.
another wish i had for my prog was to have the possibility to switch all the text between French & English.
I so used the default string table (french) to insert the french strings, and created an US english for the translated strings. all the strings refering to the same thing in both tables had the same IDs (#define names).
Questions :
1. Am i right to set the same IDs (#define names) in the string in both tables, or do they only need to have the same value (int) ?
2. how can i switch from one language to the other and vice versa ?
3. Is there a better/simplest way to do this far away from what i am doing now ?

Can't say whether it's the best way of doing it, but I use resource-only dlls.
How To Create Localized Resource DLLs for MFC Application
You should also search for "satellite dlls" at MSDN, I think there's an example project.

In our app we have support for 3 languages (quite a drag and a lot of overhead)
We give the same names in the string tables for all three languages. (make 1, copy it and change the text)
When we change the language setting of windows our app switches too.
Good luck.

ok but, how to change the language while the application is running ?
i have a combobox with 2 entries ("Français" & "English"), and i would like (when a selection change is detected) to alter all the strings from one table to the other associated with the selected language.

In that case I would think ahead.
Load your captions dynamically with an xml document. This way you can add languages very easy in the future.
You should then still find a solution on what to do when your app changes etc. So maybe not a good track either.
I'm not sure it's so easy to what you want, maybe you can trigger the table-change, but I wouldn't know how  , sorry.
good luck.

Hi .
u can create 2 Dll files with your resources and
then use API function to load your resources as u wanted.
On different Dll files u can use the same ID for the string.
that is mean only change the dll file for specific language.
for Example create Eng.dll file for English Version and
Frn.dll for France Version.
this make your program more esaer to development.
Bye.

What I did to solve this problem was put all the strings in a *.ini file (you could also use a *.xml file as suggested by V). By using this method, other people can add as many translations as they want, without you having to recompile your app or any extraneous dlls.

hi CPians,
i have a strange fact. I'd like to add to my program a set of shortcuts (like Ctrl+O to open documents for example). i created the accelerator table and associated each shortcut with a menu item ; without effect.
What did i forget to allow my shortcuts to work ?

Did you try calling LoadAccelTable on the CMainFrame class?

i use a dialog based app, and i think i already used LoadAccelTable(), without success.
do you have a piece of code to show me how to use it ?

Ah, I thought you had built your own frame-oriented app.
For a dialog, see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0700/c/default.aspx
About two-thirds of the way down the page...
Not to worry. You can easily add accelerators to any dialog just by mimicking CFrameWnd...

sorry but, can't find what i need...
i have a dialog box with a menu. in this menu, an item like this :
File > Open...
this item called ID_FILE_OPEN_MENUITEM should be associated with the combination of the Ctrl+O keys.
is there an easy way to do this ?

Click on the Figure 2 link on the page I posted, it has the code for the CDlgWithAccelerators class.
Here's the direct link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0700/c/figures.asp#fig2
All you need to do in your project is...
1) Add a new accelerator resource to your project. (let's say it's given the id IDR_ACCELERATOR1)
2) Add an accelerator shortcut in IDR_ACCELERATOR1 for ID_FILE_OPEN_MENUITEM that maps to Ctrl + O
3) Create an ACCEL variable in your dialog to store the accelerators when loaded (m_hAccel in his example)
4) In the OnInitDialog function in your dialog, load the accelerator table you created in 1).
i.e.
m_hAccel = ::LoadAccelerators(AfxGetResourceHandle(),
MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_ACCELERATOR1));
5) Create a handler for PreTranslateMessage in your dialog, and copy the PreTranslateMessage code from the DlgAccel.cpp sample to your dialog.
Works fine, I just tried it.

Hi,
I replied to your other post about this a few days ago. Have a look at this article.
http://www.codeproject.com/combobox/listboxex.asp[^]
This is basically about making your own version of a control. It uses a listbox as an example, but its the same general idea with any control. The author works with height and width in it so that should help you out.
Getting back to your original problem, I think that there may be an easier way to get it to display. Either there is a property in the list control that controls this or there is a function that allows the text to display. If you click on a file you'll notice that it seems to toggle the text to on, and then when you switch to another file it goes back to the "...". So I think there's a function that you can use. However, if you have a lot of text, it will overlap with images below it, so you would have to adjust the row height as well if that's the case.

Probably MFC tries to delete your CFrameWnd on application exit, but you have allocated it on the stack.
MFC expects that frame windows are 'automatically allocated' by the framework, as they are when you use the 'normal' MDI/SDI approach with the wizards. They get automatically deleted when the application shuts down.
Therefore, if you create a CFrameWnd manually, you have to allocate it via new and must not delete it on application exit. The framework does this for you...
This is one of the more obscure "features" of MFC, for which I never found any documentation...
Hope this helps,
Nick

Why the Spin button in MFC behaves oddly. It should increment the buddy value when we press the UP button and decrement by pressing DOWN. The button functionality is Invert of what it should be.

You have to set the range using SetRange(). If you do not set the range, the default is to have the maximum set to zero and the minimum set to one hundred. This gives you the inverse functionality you are experiencing.

because spin controls are constructed from 100 to 0 by default.
use CSpinButtonCtrl::SetRange() to set the lower/upper bounds of your spin

I got someone to code me a control in VC++. The program requires me to go through a process by which something gets written to the registry. Any idea why this is required?
Thanks.
