is there any way to determine a window has standard scrollbar or scrollbar control? in other word, how to scroll a window that does not belong to my app?

Try sending WM_HSCROLL and WM_VSCROLL Messages to that Window

Why don't you use GetScrollRange with the HWND of scroll bar
MSDN says
If the specified window does not have standard scroll bars or is not a scroll bar control, the GetScrollRange function copies zero to the lpMinPos and lpMaxPos parameters.

this might help Smile | :)

Class Member Variables:instance Vs pointer

I am in the process of reorganizing my code and came across and I came across a problem, as described in the subject line of this posting.

I have many classes that have instances of other classes as member variables. So including a forward declaration doesnt help, does it? Faced with these, I had the following options:
-Include the appropriate header in the header file that contains the class definition that has a member variable that is a class instance as opposed to a pointer to the class
-Change the member variable from being a class instance to a class pointer.

I have the following questions:
1) Which approach is *better* and why?
2) If you need to include the header and the forward declaration of the class doesnt help(which is reasonable) what do you do?
For now, Im using this

#ifndef __FILE_H<br />
#include "File.h"<br />
#endif

Thanks in advance.

The best approach depends upon your program. Its generally easier to have the class instance rather than a pointer, as you dont then need to manage allocation/deallocation. Plus it will be a little faster as the variable will be allocated automatically with the class, as opposed to having to use the heap. I would only use a pointer if its being passed into the class (for example, a pointer to the parent)

My goal is detecting USB Web-Came connection in my PC for correct video capture.
I use DirectShow for my work. I did enumerating videocapture devices and always getting identical result - Web Came is in system. Independing WebCame is plug in or plug out.

How can I do it yet?

Try _chmod

if( _chmod( "CHMOD.C", _S_IREAD ) == -1 )
      perror( "File not found\n" );
   else
      printf( "Mode changed to read-only\n" );

MFC's future

I'm a recent cs graduate and studied MFC programming as an undergrad, and I'm curious to ask what is the future of MFC with the arrival of .NET? and what about COM as well? The reason i ask is whether i should invest the time in learning .NET. Your input would be greatly appreciated.

hi,
there is no threat to MFC in the near future. .NET will take some time to catch up.

There are some excellent articles in the 'Interview' section of codeproject that will answer this.

To be blunt, MFC has no future. It will be around for a long time, due to the amount of legacy code but I think we can forget about Microsoft updating it to support the newer API's.

MFC has had its day, WTL and other modern frameworks are better tools for the job now.

.NET is still in its infancy but seems to be growing up fast. It appears that the next version of Windows will deprecate the Win32 API, making .NET the first choice API.

In VC6, in the File Open dialog, use the 'Open as' dropdown list and select 'Binary'.

In VS.NET, in the File Open dialog, click on the dropdown attached to the Open button and select Open With... Select Binary Editor from the list.

In either case, this will open the file in the IDE's binary editor, which lets you change the file contents in hex. Use this to examine and correct the problems in the file.

Good luck.
