Hi,
I have added functionality to add history in my list control by using the following function.
BOOL GetHistory(CStringList & list)
{
STATURL url;
CString strUrl;
ULONG uFetched;
IUrlHistoryStg2Ptr history;
IEnumSTATURLPtr enumPtr;

if(FAILED(CoCreateInstance(CLSID_CUrlHistory,
NULL,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_IUrlHistoryStg2,
( void**)&history)))
{
return false ;
}

if(FAILED(history->EnumUrls(&enumPtr)))
return false;

while(SUCCEEDED(enumPtr->Next(1,&url,&uFetched)))
{
if(uFetched==0)
break;
strUrl = url.pwcsUrl;
list.AddTail(strUrl);
}
return true;
}
Only IE history is added to my list control.How can i add history of other browsers also.

Do they store history data in the C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\History folder?

Why? Just visit some benign site that IE has not been used for, and then search for filenames, file contents, and registry entries for part of the URL.

Hi,

I created a Dialog based application "Sample" using VC 6.0 using the Wizard.
When I opened the resource file namely Sample.rc using a text editor,
I found

IDD_ABOUTBOX DIALOG DISCARDABLE 0, 0, 235, 55
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU.

What is the significance of the word DISCARDABLE above.
I removed the word and on compiling and running the application, could not
find any noticable change in any style.
MSDN was of no much help either.

It tells Windows that IDD_ABOUTBOX can be discarded (i.e., swapped to disk) if it needs room for something else.

It's not something that you'd notice.

I use a bitmap for a background on my login dialogs.

I just draw it on the dialog window in response to WM_ERASEBKGND.

Your requirement can be met by using Windows Media Player component for playing audio/video files. Follow the below steps:
Create a dialog box application.
Select Project->Add to Project->Components and Controls.
Select Registered ActiveX Controls folder
Select Windows Media Player component
When you select, a confirm classes dialog box appears. Click "OK"
Go to your dialog resource. Windows Media Player icon would be displayed on the controls selection view.
drag drop the control onto your dlg box. Add a member variable for the control in the class wizard.

Use 'SetURL' and GetControls() methods of the media player object for controlling the audio/video files (like play, pause, stop etc.)

E.g
m_MPlayer.SetUrl("D:\\Songs\\Xyz.mp3");
m_MPlayer.GetControls().play();

FYI: I am using Windows Media Player Ver 11

Hope this helps! Smile | :)

I created a test application and I am using GetControls() method, which returns an object of class CWMPControls. This class has all the control methods like play, pause, stop etc.
As I said earlier I am using WMP ver 11. I am not sure if the above class is defined for earlier versions of the WMP control.
Try to upgrade your WMP to 11 and check it out. If it doesn't work out.. I'll share my test source code then..

At what point are you looking at dt? If it's before the assignment, it will indeed be empty.
