Re: How to create different Dialogs as Tabs in single window.

Hello out there, ... I just thought I post a last message to this case to let anyone who ever happens to read this thread by accident (or intention) know, that I have now managed to get things going.
My child dialogs are now working (almost) perfectly as contents of the individual pages of a tab control. Just some cosmetics that I have to tidy up.

While getting more and more frustrated, that I couldn't get something simple like a tab control going the way I wanted, I almost gave up.
The ultimate break-through was not until I came across the article from Andrew Lawrence ("Tabbed Dialog without Property Sheets"). I found this article just fabulous!!! It answered my question a hundred percent, and - while studying it - I learnt heaps more.
For the beginner of VC++ this is a highly recommended article!!!

I would like to take the opportunity to thank Andrew very much.

Many thanks also to you Superman for your patience and attempt to help. You were on the right track with your advice, but my ignorance about basic concepts prevented me from actually putting things right.

Keep up the good work Wink | ;-)

Read this[^] for starters.

p.s: something you should pay attention to, be sure to override the OnOK and OnCancel (or whatever you want to hook WM_COMMAND with IDOK and IDCANCEL to) methods otherwise when the user hits ENTER ot ESC while the focus is in one of your child-dialogs, the dialog will disappear...

You could probably use something like this? SAPrefs - Netscape-like preferences dialog[^]

Do a search. There are lot more cooler classes available for this purpose.

Is there any API like when window context menu propprty method?

As windows calculates size very fast, there should be any API like this.

Not in my information. There needs to be a class(article) for this requirement. So you should understand there is no such API.

Have you tried class in given link ? Isn't that fast ?

You are right. I checked the call stack using process explorer while the size is been updated in the property sheet. It is using some function called SizeThreadProc() in the shell32.dll. May be if we can figure out the prototype of the funcion, it will be a nice hack. Smile | :)

Looks like callback function. Must be adding up size of individual file in folder structure.

Hi All.

I want to convert .ost file to .pst file.
Just FYI, I am not looking for a any tool/executable i.e. oct2pst.exe to do the same, rather I am looking for some set of libraries for this implementation. If anyone can provide some pointers for the same, that will highly appreciated.

Also, if possible please provide some details regarding the file structure for these .exts.
Incase any information required, please let me know.

Thanks and Regards.

Use the localtime function to convert time_t to struct tm.
Then use string formatting to get the required format.

The only way i can think of now is to draw your own border using WM_NCPAINT, but this can be a real pain in the rect.bottom...

Before answer this question I want to ask of you,can you use of MCI functions instead use activex's? its not hard to use and codeproject has articles about MCI(you can use of them like CMI or CSI). if you like to use of them see "A Basic Media Player" it uses of MCIWNd wrapper class and it contains a slider bar for you answer or see "Palying mp3s using MCI"(but its languae is C# but I think its very helpful for you if you know C#).
