Hello,

How can I guarantee that msdev.exe is in my system path? I tried using
"set path=%path%;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin;" in the autoexec.bat file but I get the
"Too many parameters" error (because of the spaces, I guess).

How can I set the path? Who can I ask (If you don't know)?

Thank You.

BTW, I'm using Windows 98 SE.

-----------------------
But what did I do?

Try putting VCVARS32.BAT at the end of your autoexec.bat

VCVARS32.BAT is found under the "Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin" directory.

Hello Jignesh

Sorry for being so ignorant Cry | :((

but I didn't quite understand what you meant by: "Try putting VCVARS32.BAT at the end of your autoexec.bat". Should I just add the string "VCVARS32.BAT" at the end of the autoexec.bat file?

Thanks for your quick response.

Alon.

Open Autoexec.bat using an editor, and add C:\....\vcvars32.bat as your last line. Then this will get executed at boot time.

Don't forget the call keyword before a batch file, or else the new batch file never returns to the caller.

call C:\msdev\vc98\bin\vcvars32.bat

For file paths with spaces you gotta add quotes.

Finally -------

set PATH=%path%;"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin" at the end of the autoexec.bat did the job.

Why are you trying to do this? And by the way this is not possible at all.
This is how the usermgmt of NT was designed. If You create an user he must recieve
some initial rights. So everyone was introduced.

All I want to do is to write a script that will modify they rights of the everyone group. Which you can do on any object by going to it's security page. all I am tyying to do is automate this process which I know is possible because when edit an objects security page all you are doing is executing a series of API functions and any API function is accessible from C++ I know I cannot delete the everyone group but I also know I can assign rights to the everyone group and this is what I want to do please help

Hiya I am looking to see if I have SourceSafe 6.0 ( that ships with .net - Enterprise developer - which is what I have ) installed...

Does anyone know where abouts it is in the MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO.NET directory.

Also where can I get info on using it.

Thanks,
grahamoj.

SourceSafe 6.0 was only marginally updated for .NET. As a result, it installs in

\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio

(no .NET) by default.

I have an MFC dialog app that has a Webbrowser object in it. I put a bitmap as a background to that application and now whenever something covers my dialog app, the webbrowser control doesn't get redrawn. How can I fix this problem? This is probably an easy question for many of you to solve, but embarrassingly it has left me scratching my head for the last half-hour.

Your help in answering my question will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Smile | :)

I stumbled across an MSDN entry recently about something like this but I can't seem to find it now... Frown | :-(

IIRC, the problem was related to the control's or the parent window's style not being set properly - you needed to add or remove WS_CLIPCHILDREN or WS_CLIPSIBLINGS. Something like that.

Sorry for being so vague. HTH.

I think the problem is the dialog has the CS_HREDRAW and CS_VREDRAW styles by default. In CDialog::PreCreateWindow register a new class without these styles. This will prevent the erasing of the entire window which is what these flags do when you move the window or some window comes on top. Now your browser control should hopefully stop behaving nastily Smile | :)

ceil and floor?

Hi,

I have a bit of code that does this ...

<br />
X = (int)ceil( phi*y );<br />
Y = (int)floor( delta*pi );<br />

... but I get compile error C2065: 'floor' : undeclared identifier and
error C2065: 'ceil' : undeclared identifier.

Do I need to include some file or something?

stdafx.h question

I understand that all *.cpp files in Visual C++ must
start with ...

<br />
#include "stdafx.h"<br />

... how can I make my C++ code portable with such
a restriction?

I tried this ...

<br />
#ifndef GNU<br />
#include "stdafx.h"<br />
#endif<br />

... but that doesn't seem to work.

What should I do if I want my code to compile under
more than ONE compiler?

For portable files you probably don'twant to use stdafx.h, which means no precompiled headers. Just set the Precompiled Headers switch for such files to "Not using precompiled headers".

I feel inadequate ... CButton question.

Maximilien27-Feb-03 10:15

I fell so dumb and inadequate today ... yesterday was such a good day!

I have a CButton derived button in a dialog ( a dialog app ) :

// .h
#include "MyButton.h"
//{{AFX_DATA(CTestColorControlDlg)
 CMyButton m_HelpButton;
//}}AFX_DATA

and

// .cpp 
...
void CTestColorControlDlg::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)
{
 CDialog::DoDataExchange(pDX);
 //{{AFX_DATA_MAP(CTestColorControlDlg)
 DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_HELP_BUTTON, m_HelpButton);
 //}}AFX_DATA_MAP
}
...

My button is working nicelly, but I don't receive and message for WM_CREATE, or even the OnCreate virtual is not called.

I need to change the button size, from inside the class, at creation time; I don't want to have to manually create the button in the dialog's OnInitDialog just to do it.

Thank yo for helping a programmer in need!

You don't get the WM_CREATE message because windows creates a normal button first, and then subclasses it in the first call to the DoDataExchange method. When your class is attached to the button, the button has already been created.

You may be able to do want you want in the PreSubclassWindow() virtual method - this is called after the HWND is attached to your button, but before the window procedure has been replaced.
