For header files other than my own, I use angle brackets <> instead of quotes. In any case, does the file exist on your machine?

My program needs to be synchronised with my data server.
I must do it into my program, in VC++ 6 (not in .NET).
I can not find any function in msdn which do it. Cry | :((

I've another solution,;) instead of synchronising, I need to get the system time of the server. But I can not found any function to do this. Sigh | :sigh:

Does someone has already realize it ?

First off, what kind of data are you synchronising?

Instead of depending on the time of the server, can you not depend on the time of the content/file that you are trying to synchronise ?

having the memory of an elephant (and looking like one) helps - a couple of years back I was looking for a Print Monitor, and while these werent the references I had in mind (I think in the original reference I had, 'GhostScript' figured prominently) just doing a google on "c++ print monitor" or "c++ printmon" found these ones for you ..

Im sorry, right now I cant offer much more, except this, http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/EMFSpoolViewer.asp[^] which might give you enough of a handle, especially if you check the references etc, to be able to parse the EMF file format

I have an edit control. The details are:
IDC_EDIT (the id)
m_edit (member variable, CString).

I know i can set a text to the control by simply writing

<br />
m_edit = "sometext";<br />

But I want the text to be selected, ready to be deleted with a backspace. How do i do that?

corrupt avi file

My program writes avi files (using a video capturing card) using the windows API (AVIFileCreateStream etc.)

When the file is quite large (3 GB) the avi file becomes corrupt. The VirtualDub-program analyses the file with the message : missing index block.

Can someone help me regarding this problem?

Best regards,

Probably the API donot
support file buffering
more then 3GB. OR we
need to check for how
the file is stored by
API.

I would guess that it is tool large for the VirtualDub or some other associated program. Does it die when it hits approx 2.7G? If so they are probably using a signed 32 bit buffer somewhere.

How to set working directory to MyPictures?

3-Jan-06 21:25

Using Win32/VC++, I want to scan the users My Pictures folder (and potentially any other user/system folder using:

g_hFind= FindFirstFile( "*.jpg", &g_FindFileData);

and

FindNextFile(g_hFind, &g_FindFileData) )

How do I set the "working" folder so that I don't need to include the path name as part of the file path?

<br />
hr = SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(0, <br />
                    CSIDL_COMMON_PICTURES, <br />
                     &pidlDocFiles);<br />
<br />

I guess you could use:
SetCurrentDirectory(strPath);
But you still need to get the path first using SHGetSpecialFolderLocation() etc.

this is this.

Think of a situation that the user changes that folder location (yes he can) while ur application is running.

Your application will stop behaving properly if you have cached the path or set it as a default path.

IMO, i wont do that.
