You'll need to respond to the WM_SETCURSOR message, calling SetCursor within a handler for that message.
Michael Dunn's article here[^] shows how to respond to WM_SETCURSOR.

I'm really stupid about the whole programming thing so i was thinking maybe i could get extensive help, from other users. My dilemma is that i have seen a site that teaches it but doesn't give forums or anything else like this site does, so what i need is lessons on learning C++. Please note that i haven't even any type of programming( including: scripting, um...that's all i can think of right now )
So a load of help would be nice

This is the wrong place for seeking lessons on learning C++. I suggest purchasing a C++ primer or a book like "The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup" that has exercises at the end of each chapter. If you have specific questions about some code you wrote that isn't executing the way you expected to, then present your issue here to obtain assistance.

Yeah sorry 'bout that it's just that everything that i try to learn says somethings i don't understand like that "The complete Idiot's Guide to Writing Shell Extensions" needs you to have some other knowledge about scripting or programming or something like that...and on top of that it uses some program i don't i can't even configure, So if you know of something that could teach someone like me how to program or C++ That would be great.
Also i don't have a credit card and my cash supply is restricted so could ya keep it to free if possible.

Ok so, i got this program that seems simple enough for me to use and it looks like a C++ program, cause it has that "Compiler and debugger" thing. It's called Dev-C++( bloodshed Dev-C++ ) and i was wondering if there were any tutorials for that ( By the way i have dial-up so it would take forever to load most pages from Google )

Yes, I have heard of Bloodshed Dev-C++ (http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html[^]). Compiling and linking is usually different from one IDE to another. However, programming C++ is very standard. Nevertheless, most compilers don't support the standard 100%. You should be concerned with this now since you are just learning. Take your time, learn and have fun. It is going to be tough at times but worth the effort.

Ok, so are you like the this boards moderator? Or do you just like to help people allot? Cause it seems like you're smart about this whole subject. Cause, you know, you know all theses sites and all so i would assume you have used these sites and learn C++ for yourself, correct?

No, I am not the moderator. I am a regular member just like you. I try to share my little knowledge with others. I am a Systems Analyst at Ford Motor Company but I have a M.A. in Linguistics. In the late 60's, I learned Fortran in high school, and I have taken a few college courses in programming. I learned BASIC and C in the eighties since I worked at an university and the classes were free. However, I learned C++ on my own in the early 90's.
As I search the web looking for programming information, I run into some of these sites and just bookmark them for future reference. Anyway, learning how to program is less than half the battle. You also need to know the environment you are programming, and how to effectively apply your programming knowledge to manipulate that environment to your advantage. If you can, try to find others who are interested in learning C++ and try to create a useful application. You may fail at doing this but you learn from your failure and learn some collaboration skills at the same time.

Hi
I am having a typical problem from last one day.I am being able to writ into a text file from my vc++ application,but I am not being able to read the file.actually I need to write something in the file and I need need to again read the file.here is y code which is working fine for writing to file:
FILE *fp=NULL;
fp=_wfopen(lstr,_T("w+"));//lstr is having the path to the file
fwrite( strTitleCurrentDate, sizeof(TCHAR), strTitle.GetLength()/** sizeof( TCHAR )*/, fp );
fclose( fp );
this code is working fine but
CString strTitle1;
newBuffer=strTitle1.GetBuffer(strTitle1.GetLength()* sizeof( TCHAR ));
LPTSTR lstr=strPath2.GetBuffer(strTitle.GetLength()* sizeof( TCHAR ));
FILE *fp=NULL;
fp=_wfopen(lstr,_T("a+"));
while(!feof(fp))
fread( newBuffer, sizeof(char), 100/** sizeof( TCHAR )*/, fp );
fclose( fp );
This piece of code really meking me frustrated because the data in file I am being able to read which actually should be "15th june 2007" is coming as "15th june 2007SID",from where this SID is coming?One more thing is that after this code of file reading if I take any CString variable and try to display it in a message box,it is showing the value "15th june 2007SID" whereas it should show blank.I am getting crash also in my application may be due to this problem.Plz help me to solve this problem with code,because it will help me a lot.Plz help me as early as possible because the deadline is coming and I am being frustrated.I also have to read data in a text file line by line which is also not being possible for me.Plz help me with code.

Here are a couple of problems with this code
1) GetBuffer() memory has to be released with ReleaseBuffer
2) fwrite( strTitleCurrentDate, sizeof(TCHAR), strTitle.GetLength()/** sizeof( TCHAR )*/, fp );
How do you decide to write strTitleCurrentDate to the length of strTitle, they are not related ... Correction strTitleCurrentDate.GetLength()
3) Here is even more ambiguous code
CString strTitle1;
newBuffer=strTitle1.GetBuffer(strTitle1.GetLength()* sizeof( TCHAR ));
What is the size of allocation ? strTitle1 is a zero length string! Zero and you decide to read
fread( newBuffer, sizeof(char), 100/** sizeof( TCHAR )*/, fp );
100 bytes to this buffer.
Shouldn't this be
fread( newBuffer, sizeof(TCHAR), strTitle1.GetLength(), fp );
if your allocation was right ?
However it should be just
TCHAR myFileBuffer[1024];
fread( myFileBuffer, sizeof(TCHAR), 1024, fp );
why use GetBuffer ?
Remember when dealing with a char pointer, when you cross what you have allocated, you are writing in to other non allocated memory. You have to always allocate for the string terminator. Any such memory overwrite results in crash, usually later in the code.
How to use google
type "how to read a text file line by line" and see the google results, open the second link and it has the following piece of code for a similar task. Please modify this code to get your stuff done. So another advice, try to use google much more with different search strings representing the same question.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <strstream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char buffer1[2048];
char buffer2[2048];
istrstream ostr1(buffer1, 2048);
istrstream ostr2(buffer2, 2048);
int values1[100];
int values2[100];
int c=0;
ifstream fin("data.txt");
fin.getline(buffer1, 2048);
fin.getline(buffer2, 2048);
while (ostr1 >> values1[c])
{
ostr2 >> values2[c++];
}
for (int i=0;i<c;i++)
{
="" cout="" <<="" values1[i]="" ":"="" values2[i]="" endl;
="" }
good="" luck,

I want to implement address book like how microsoft outlook does with the following interface.
IContacts //maintains all the IContact interfaces
IContact //store the details of the contact.
I can get IContact by calling the IContacts->Item(i) method.can any one give me some ref to do this type of implementation
Thank and Regards.

Hi,
I'm planning to implement a chat server + a chat client as a learning exercise for my ATL/COM/DCOM.
As part of that first I would implement a chat server which is a local server and a chat client. Please suggest if the following is possible, if true how.
Clients register their callbacks by using Advice() (Of course, I would do FindConnectionPoint(), before that ). My doubt is is there any way to send the notification from the server to all the clients? and also can the server select the client to which it has to send the notification.
For Example: User1, User2 are currently logged in. If user1 sends a message to User2 by using SendMsg(from, to, msg) of IChatServer, can the server alert client of User2.
Otherwise can server broadcast the event??
Thanks and regards,
Raja Pratap

It's not clear to me what you mean by "chat server" and "notification".
When someone talks about a chat server to me I interpret it as the MSDN sample CHATTER/CHATSRVR[^], but the notification you're talking about feels like a callback on a source interface from a COM server to its client (AKA a COM event).
If the notification is a COM event, the answer is that the server keeps track of its clients in a container; a list, vector or array. When an event is generated the container is walked through notifying all registered clients.
If you want to skip one of the clients you have to write your own code to do that.
A small thought:
You don't have to use the connection point concept, in fact Don Box recommends not to use it in his book Effective COM[^].
You can create your own Advise() method and put whatever functionality in it that you want and/or need.
But if you're new to this it could be a good starting point using the connection point concept to understand how it works.

I think Nenad re-released it in order to include a sample showing how to use the new TabView - might want to check you've got the most up to date version.

I was wondering where I could find the Docs on learning WTL, I know my way around MFC and ATL so I am sure I can leverage what I've learned there.
