Hello,
is there a guide how to isntall the latest Platform SDK that is compatible with Visual Studio 6.0 under XP SP3? I have read that te latest SDK compatible with this package is the Windows Server 2003 SDK, which I downloaded right from here: [^]
The download itself is a pain in the ass, since it's not a ZIP package or something comfrotable you would expect, but 15 single files to download.
The next step is that the setup.exe you get after extracting starts your browser, which is Firefox in my case, telling me that IE 5.0 or later is required. So I try to run default.html manually in IE 8.0 (which is installed on my plattform), but as soon as I click "install Core SDK", IE crashes, and tells me the Active X is not secure (although I explicitly allowed it).
Is there some guideline on how to install this SDK properly? Why can't MS make it simple as nearly every other software company?

The Platform SDK you choose does not depend on your version of Visual Studio but your Platform (Win2000 , XP 32/64 , Vista ...).
However I wonder what you have downloaded. 15 single files? I don't know such distribution.
I recommend you to install the latest SDK which can be downloaded here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=e6e1c3df-a74f-4207-8586-711ebe331cdc
You have the choice between the web installer and downloading a full ISO (1.3GB).
Installing one of those is as simple as downloading and installing any other software. It has never been more complicated.
Compatibilty with different versions of Visual Studio is related to the help system integration into that versions. You do not need this necessarily since the help is included as standalone. Header files and libraries should be compatible to the compiler version included in Visual Studio 6. Correct me if I am wrong.
I further recommend switching to a newer version of Visual Studio if possible. The C++ Express Edition should be ok for most applications. The only thing is that there is no MFC included. Even the Standard Edition isn't too expensive.

Wrong and misleading. You have no idea of what Platform SDK is, and you may please refrain from answering queries that you don't know anything about.

Hi Rajesh
Please can you give me an example how the choice of the Platform SDK depends on the compiler suite you are using?
As I understand it the Platform SDK is basically a collection of headers, libraries and API documentation you need to build applications targeted to the platform you use. The compiler you use to build your stuff is subordinate may it be Visual Studio or Borland or whatever.

Hi Stefan,
From your original reply to the OP: The Platform SDK you choose does not depend on your version of Visual Studio but your Platform (Win2000 , XP 32/64 , Vista ...).

The OP clearly mentioned that he needs an SDK for VS 6.0 and the latest version of the SDK that is compatible with VS 6.0 is Windows Server 2003 Platform SDK (February 2003 edition)[^]. For information on this, read the "Development Toools" section under the "System Requirements" Heading on this page[^]. You linked him to the latest PSDK, which is plainly wrong.

VS comes with an SDK. The OS and the Platform SDK are two different things, even though to use certain new features/API calls you may need a new SDK.

The SDK you downloaded is the correct one for VS6.
I didn't have any problem installing it with IE6 on XPSP3. I suppose your problem is IE8.
|
|
|
|
|
I believe you are right, the problem seems to be IE8, the question is why this setup requires a browser at all. The MSIs are all available in the subdirs, the question is which ones to install in which order.
I really don't understand why Microsoft is doing it this way, it's crap. Why not make a simple setup without requiring a browser?

how to make winapi control "edit" transparent? thank you
|
|
|
|
|
Is this a question or a boast?
|
|
|
|
|
The question is not clear.
I'm assuming that you have a Win32 application and you have placed an edit control in the dialog template.
Now you want to apply the transparent style to this edit control.
If this is your question, here is my answer -
Use GetDlgItem to get a handle to the edit control.
Use SetWindowLongPtr(hEdit, GWL_EXSTYLE, WS_EX_TRANSPARENT) to apply the transparent style.

pDC->SetTextColor(m_pLinesColor[i]);
pDC->TextOut(m_tempLT.x, m_tempLT.y-8, _T(m_pLinesName[i]));
why is not the setting color "m_pLinesColor[i]" in the print preview??
|
|
|
|
|
Have you tried to create a font, change the colour of the font attribute and use the pDC->SelectObject (&Font) instead of the pDC->SetTextColor ??
Regards.

Hello people,I've installed Borlands' 5.0 C++
on a Windows ME machine running on a Vmware virtual disk.
The problem I'm having is this,at compile time I cant see the-
-out put of the file when it runs,instead all I see is a DOS like-
-box that briefly flashes on the screen.
I know that,that "box" is the out put,but how can I make it stay
on the screen long enough to see the results?

In C we use getch() function.

If he was running his application which was a "DOS" app, then yes, but he says he can't see the output from the compiler.
You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

Assuming Borland's compiler runs as a Windows application, I would expect it to send its output to another Window/View. Have you checked all the configuration options?

I use getchar() -> #include <stdio.h>

Hi,

Hi i am using CListViewCtrl having 2 columns. I want to restrict column resizing withing CListViewCtrl . I have written the code like this
SetColumnWidth( 0, LVSCW_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER );
SetColumnWidth( 1, LVSCW_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER );
But still it is allowing me to resize column width. I have also tried to avoid horizontal scrollbar (NO SCROLL == TRUE ).
Thanks in Advance,

Just refer this article [^]

LVSCW_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER is not going to prevent column resizing. It will resize column width to auto-fit header text.
To prevent header from resizing, handle HDN_ITEMCHANGING notificationin a your list view control.
You will have to tolerate cursor changing from arrow to resizing.
To be on the safe side, you will have to handle both versions of this code:
HDN_ITEMCHANGINGA and HDN_ITEMCHANGINGW.
Depending on the OS and IE versions, list view control is built as ANSI or UNICODE.
Always return 1 from a handler.
You can handle it differenly by deriving your own class from CHeaderCtrl and handle HDN_ITEMCHANGING notification from this class after subclassing List view’s header control.
You also will be able to get rid of resizing cursor using derived class.
Remember that you can handle HDN_ITEMCHANGING notification only in view or header, never in both, unless you want to go really wild.
Why are you trying to "avoid" scroll bar?

Hi every body
I am using vc++6.0 My task is to convert an Audio file(Wav) into text not from Microphone.
e.g If I have "Hello there" store in wav file to it will transcribe it into text and show "Hello there" string on screen.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated. I am felt in tough deadlines. Any language code in preferred but priority is vc++.
thanks in advance

For that purpose i prefer you to install and check with SAPI ,
It has the option for speech recognition.
So i believe SAPI'S are reading the streams from microphone to a wav file and then processing it for performance.
Just have a try with that, all the best [^]
