I give up. I have tried setting the size of the struct from 0 to 20000 and it still returns 632. I think it is broken.... Frown | :(

If I specify Unicode to function returns 50 and the structure stays unchanged. Also 50 has no meaning, except for DOS error codes...

Error with shdocvw.dll, while building a .msi

4-Sep-02 2:52

Bloody Wtypes #$%#$%@#$%@!#$%@$#%$#%^%#^&$%^&#%^&#%^ ... continues for the next 50 pages....

As specified by MSDN:

LPCTSTR reserved, // reserved, must be NULL

Now THIS NULL is an int that must be set to 0 and NOT null as in a null object. Then everything works as it should.

Re other post about MAX_PATH, this one required 260, the other struct required 256. WTF is going on????

Hello

When I build my .msi, I get this error :

ERROR: 'shdocvw.dll' should be excluded because its source file
'C:\WINDOWS\System32\shdocvw.dll' is under Windows System File Protection.

So the .MSI package is built anyway, but the installed application doesn't
work because a file is missing ( the application works, except when I try to print or to show a preview. These functions use printDialog, printDocument, printPreviewDialog ...).

How do I include this component?

Thanks

Hi
Have you tried coping the file to the application folder instead of the SYSTEM dir?

yes
It doesn't work, because I can't make the link with the .exe

But this dll is present on the user machine. I think that we must use the dll present on the user machine.

Hi troz

Whne adding shdocvw.dll as a reference, it automatically creates Interop.shdocvw.dll in the application folder. This file is the one that should be added to the msi (and set to copy local, we wnat the file there). Leave the other file out of it. Smile | :)

Hope this helps Smile | :)

yes this file is created in the application directory, and added directly to the .exe dependancies. It's installed in the installation directory.
But this doesn't solve the problem.

Maybe the pb with printing doesn't come from this dll ???

but I see that the dll isn't loaded when the application runs

the error message is :

Many system dlls follow a delay-load scheme, even if they are statically linked. The delay load is accurately displayed in Dependency Walker.

If you want to know what dll does the actual PRINT, I suggest to build a small project embedding IE. And exec the OLECMDID_PRINT command to the current HTML Document.

And I swallow a small raisin.

- shdocvw.dll is not a redistribuable by itself. It is part of the Internet Explorer gloubiboulga and if you copy this file, you'll certainly miss sister dlls such like urlmon.dll, mshtml.dll, ...

- you need to do one of these :

- get the equivalent merge module (.msm) file provided by MS. Check out the redist.txt file in your MSDEV CDs for the list of .msm files. A .msm is a binary package which is properly handled by .msi databases.

- redistribute the IE package.

Hi,

I have two Queries...

First:

Is there any way by which I can Specify (In my Assembly itself) that
the CopyLocal Property of a Reference to my Assembly should be False?

ie: Whenever my assembly is added into any Project (References), the
CopyLocal property for that Reference should be False by default.

Note: It should be possible without making the Assembly Strong Named.

And,

Does the Framework/VisualStudio IDE raise any Event or send any kind of
Notification to the Assembly when a Reference to it is Added or Removed from a Project.

ie: I want to execute some code from within my assembly when that Assembly is
Added or Removed from the References collection of any Project.

Thanks,

Firoz

As far as I know/remember once a project has been saved, that setting should persist when adding it to a new solution, unless the assembly is not available.

As for the second question : Frown | :(

Hi Leppie,

Thanks for your Reply.
But, thats not the problem.
I will explain it in Detail.

I have created a simple UserControl.
There are some limitations(or you can say Bugs) in this control.
One such limitation is that the CopyLocal property of the Reference
to this Control should always be FALSE.

When this control is added to the References of any project,
by default the IDE makes the CopyLocal property of the reference to TRUE.

Now, this Control is used by some other developers also.
and, I cannot ask or expect those guys to manually change the CopyLocal
property from True to FALSE everytime they add my control to their Projects.

So, I need a WAY by which the CopyLocal property should be FALSE automatically whenever my Control is added to any Project.

Actually, I feel(or wish) there is some simple way to do this.
Like some Assembly Arributes which will expose the Value for CopyLocal
property and the IDE will read it from the Assembly when it is added to the Reference and set the CopyLocal property accordingly.
But, I could not find any such Attribute...

Thanks,

Firoz

Maybe more general question, howcan you hide any shortcuts/folders from C#?

Yes, you can. It is a registry entry somewhere, and if you are using Win 2000/XP , you can run the group policy editor, by running gpedit.msc from start run. Unfortunately, I cant point you to the correct place in the registry.

BACK TO SCHOOL! Means back to studies!!

Have you seen the way VFP works with .NET? Have you played around with .NET at all? Do you want to expand on your arsenal of development tools?

HTTP://www.vwfox.org is proud to present the C# Study Group.

By popular demand and by request of our attendees we've put together an agenda for this class that is not to be missed. Some places will charge you $2000 to $3000 for a five day study course that'll take you 6 months to a year to make any use of - extend your studies to a realistic length of time.

Come spend time studying twice a month with us and learn a new language - C# the newest language from Microsoft's Visual Studio.NET. C# is part of the C evolution. Take advantage of VFP's rich database language in C# through XML and COM/COM+.

The cost of the study course is $50 for six months plus the cost of books (you provide you own laptop). We provide the refreshments and a very nice facility as well as Audio and visual Equipment.

Our First meeting will be September 23, 2002. We want everyone to get the most out of this Class so size is limited - RSVP soon.

I'm trying to create a component based on the RichTextBox. One thing I want to do is set some new defaults for the properties.

Now I can do it like this (in the constructor):

this.Multiline = true;
this.ScrollBars = RichTextBoxScrollBars.Both;
this.Font = new Font(System.Drawing.FontFamily.GenericMonospace, 10);
this.WordWrap = false;
this.AcceptsTab = true;

But this doesn't seem to give different defaults, it just overwrites whatever is there... seems kinda tacky.

So instead I'm trying to override the properties. As far as I could gather from the documentation, this can be achieved like this:

new public bool Multiline = true;
new public RichTextBoxScrollBars ScrollBars = RichTextBoxScrollBars.Both;
new public Font Font = new Font(System.Drawing.FontFamily.GenericMonospace, 10);
new public bool WordWrap = false;
new public bool AcceptsTab = true;

It compiles okay but then when I put the component onto a form, it's actually done nothing, the standard RichTextBox defaults are there.

What am I doing wrong???

Hi leppie,

No, I hadn't, but I have now. Unfortunately this:

[DefaultValue(true)]
new public bool AcceptsTab;

seems to do exactly the same as this:

new public bool AcceptsTab = true;

the only purpose for the former seems to be that you can use it on a get/set property structure.

Confused | :confused:

I think you will have to go by setting the defaults in the constructor...or maybe create a designer??? I have never made a designer, so I will not comment Smile | :)
