Visual C++ (6.0) has a place in the .dsp file to indicate that each file is/is not under source control. If that entry isn't in the .dsp, VC6 won't attempt to use source control. I suspect VS 7 also works like that, since VS2005 work the same way.
This occurred because the file you unzipped was never in VC++ to begin with, and when you added to VSS, it didn't have the .dsp showing that it should be under VSS control.
Not sure about VSS, but with ClearCase, I could simply open that project in VC, then select the files and "Add to Source Control". (Note that your .dsp must be writable at this time.) This causes VC to update the dsp file with the SCC information.
Hope that helps.

Thanks, I'm clear now.
The .dsw has to .dsp and a deep directory hierarchy, so I add it through sourcesafe directly. I'll try to add them through VC++.
|

|
|
|
It's done, what I have to do is only add the .dsw .dsp(s) to source safe.
Thanxxxxxx

Hello.
I have certain programming issue that need to be solved. Im creating an application under win32 console application using VC++2005 :-
1) How can i make the win32 application console invisible/hide during execution. (the black dos window is invisible)
2) Is there any API that can detect an internet connection? I want the application to detect any internet connection is available (wireless or cable). Is there any option or idea to create this mechanism? Maybe it is possible if there is an internet connection available, the application would print a message saying "internet connection available".
3) How can I do a timer in this application? This timer would trigger an event when a time comes. For instance, a message loop will appear every 5 minutes.
Thanks

See if this helps.

In a console application?

yes. In a console application. Is it possible? What im trying to do is creating such like a software agent which it is invisible to the user. So, this software agent will try to communicate with the server every 5 minutes. If there is connection, then every 5 minutes this software agent will send packets which contains information regarding the client PC. Since im not doing any graphical icons to this software agent, i created the win32 Console application. Is it possible to create a timer so it will send packets to the server every 5 minutes using win32 console application. Any API codes? Thanks

Yes. You can use Sleep(300000) for this. When it returns from sleeping, send the packets.

Why do you need the console window if you are just going to hide it? Maybe you want a windowless application?
|

Actually i have receive several opinion from google and also other forums saying that why do i need a console application if we were just going to hide it. Thinking and thinking i still could not understand why.  . As for my application here, actually what im trying to do is a software agent which will communicate and send information packets to the server for every 5 minutes. (This is where i need a timer to solve this). So this software agent is located at client side where it must be invisible to the user for security reason. The reason i choose win32 Console application as the client application side (software agent) is because I dont have any intention to put any graphical icon to the application. It is pure text based. So I just wanna hide the dos window (text based) so that user did not even know that the program is running background. Is there any option @ API that can help me accomplish this requirement?

Hello, i have a problem.
I am currently developing software for several platforms in msvc 7.1. It seems its not possible to add a platform of your own definition by just "adding" it in the configuration manager, only the predefined platforms works, such as Win32, x64, etc. If you type a name of your own in the platform field when creating a new one, you cant select that platform for any of the projects when you want to setup new debug/release configurations for that platform.
Must a new platform somehow be registered with visual studio?
Thanks
Peter

Well, there's more to a platform choice than a name. It's associated with all sorts of thngs. Which compiler, debugger, virtual machines (ie PDA emulator), etc.
So I think there will have to be all sorts of settings associated with them. Which reinforces your idea about registering a platfrom with VS.
How you do *that* is another question. (For someone cleverer than me).

Dear Friends,
I m working VC++ where UNICODE is not defined for tht particular application.
I want to display "Name (DownArrow)" as a caption on a control. here Downarrow means the picture of downarrow.
I tried in a following way.
CString s1, s2;
s1 = _T(2193);
s2 = "PickUp" + s1;
But for S1 it is giving me the character with value as 255.
Can anybody help me out?/
I can use painting tht control but i don't want to do that..
Thanks in advance

what are you expecting with this ?
|
|
|
|

in character map this value corresponds to downarrow.. so i thought by doing
s1 = _T(2193); i m ay get tht value as CString in s1...
|
|
|
|
|
do you know what the _T() macro does ?
it simply prepends a L in front of the string (because you're supposed to pass it a literal string, not an integer) if UNICODE is defined, and does nothing otherwise.

Oh no. Prepends nothing in his case.

You're trying to do a pretty weird thing.
Since your application is not set as a UNICODE build, the macro _T expands to nothing and you'll get s1 = (2193);
and this shouldn't ever compile.
BTW UNICODE value for down arrow is 0x2193, i.e. 8595.

Hi Experts,
How can I rename a file thorugh any API.
|
|
|
|
|
You can use of SHFileOperation or rename.
|
|
|
|
|
I used the code below but it does not rename the source file even it creates another file (spacifies in To).
SHFILEOPSTRUCT sfo; <br />
ZeroMemory ( &sfo, sizeof (SHFILEOPSTRUCT)); <br />
sfo.wFunc = FO_RENAME ;<br />
sfo.pFrom = _T("g:\zz.txt\0");<br />
sfo.pTo = _T("g:\pp1.txt\0");<br />
SHFileOperation(&sfo);
|
|
|
|
|
hmmm...
maybe remove the "\0" ?
