there would be a security problem Wink | ;)

you can install a server on machine1 which starts exe1 while running exe2 on machine2. in this case you have to connect to machine1, receive the request and then start exe2

		<br />
	docs = app.GetDocuments();<br />
	doc = docs.Open(COleVariant(csFileName), <br />

all works fine, but I can't access the name of the template.
Any Ideas.

binary file i/o

having trouble reading what i have written in binary. i do beleive it is writing correctly (because there is a binary value in the text file it creates) but having trouble getting the binary value back into an array of 0's and 1's that i can look at.
well, the code i has seems to give me back all 1's no matter what.
please, if anyone knows about binary i/o!
thank you

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

void main()
{

char textbit[8];
ifstream textfile;
textfile.open("bin.txt");

ofstream binaryfile ("realbin.bin", ios::out|ios::binary|ios::ate);

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) //get the 8 bytes from the plain text file
textbit[i] = textfile.get();

textfile.close();

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) //output them to screen
cout<

ok well i guess i got the i/o working

but now im kind of stuck
where i have
for (int x =0; x <2; x++)
that runs the loop 2 times and loads 2 8bit values into the binary file.
but i want this loop to run for the length of the input file.
whats the easy way to do that?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

void main()
{
char rtextbit[8];
char binarybyte =0; //chars are 8 bits 0 means 00000000
char textbit[8];
ifstream textfile;
textfile.open("bin.txt");

ofstream binaryfile ("realbin.txt", ios::out|ios::binary);

for (int x =0; x <2; x++)
{

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) //get the 8 bytes from the plain text file
textbit[i] = textfile.get();

cout<

How to run an application when clicking "Shut Down" from start menu?

Hello,

I am using Windows 2000 Professional and VC++ 6.0 (MFC).

I have created a simple dialog based application.
I want to run this application when I click "Shut Down" from start menu.

How to achieve this?

TIA,

Regards,
Jahfer V P

You would need a separate application running that handles the WM_QUERYENDSESSION message. When that message is received, return 0, start the "dialog based application."

But, would the os allow launching a process when its in the process of shutdown? I think you have to abort the shutdown first, launch your application and call ExitWindows(...) again.

HI,

I am using ActiveX ( formula 1 Control grid .. same as Excel) , as i enter value ( 1/1/2004 etc in the cell. the ActiveX grid take it as a date and convert it in a numeric value ( i think ) , but when i get beck the Value from that cell it returns me the Interger( numeric) value.

How can i get that values back same as in 1/1/2004 format
Because i want to print it in same format.

Accelerator doesnt work

Hi,

I use a none MFC based Dialogbox, and I dont get an accelerator to run.

Here are my codesnippets:

int APIENTRY _tWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPTSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
{
MSG msg;
HACCEL hAccelTable;

// Perform application initialization:
if (!InitInstance (hInstance, nCmdShow)) return FALSE;
if((hAccelTable = LoadAccelerators(hInstance, (LPCTSTR)IDC_STEALTHDIALOG)) == 0)
error(0, "Cant load Accelereators!");

// Main message loop:
while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
{
if (!TranslateAccelerator(msg.hwnd, hAccelTable, &msg)||
!IsDialogMessage(msg.hwnd,&msg) )
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
}
return (int) msg.wParam;
}

Now: I created a new Accelerator, with the same ID as a button, cause they should do the same.

IDC_STEALTHDIALOG ACCELERATORS MOVEABLE PURE
BEGIN
"S", BTN_CONNECT, VIRTKEY, ALT, NOINVERT
END

I see that something happens to the button, it gets the focus, and theres no peep like when I press another combination than Alt+s.
But nothing happens. No action for the button. I also changed the ID of the accelerator, and put some code to its WM message, same result.

Whats wrong?

Hi
I am a 13 year old newbie to C++ and I really want to learn it. I already know HTML, XHTML, CSS and the basics of PHP. I already have a set of video tutorials but I need to know some stuff about c++ first.

1) What can you do with it (e.g. create programs, create webpages, etc)?
2) What is an IDE?
3) Are there any free C++ compilers out there (like Microsoft Visual C++)?

Thanks a lot

Rob

A better question might be "What can you not do with it?"

Rob_BCFC wrote:

Integrated Development Environment. It's the editor, compiler, and linker all rolled into one.

No in fact it is used for developping applications. You can developp a large variety of aplpications from notepad to very complex programs or games... It depends a lot also of the knowledge of the programmer Smile | :)

Rob_BCFC wrote:

Search on google for Dev-C++. It is a free IDE (so the graphical interface with the compiler and linker).

If you learn it by yourself, I have one advice: don't try to make things that are too complicated at the begining. For example, if you want to make a very complicated programm at the begining, you will be disgusted... There are a lot of examples and tutorials on the web. But be patient, this won't come in one month of time...

hey,

C++ is one of the most powerful languages around in my opinion.
This means that you can do almost anything with C++, but it also means you have to be careful how to program. It's easier to mess up your code into "spaghetti" with C++ then eg. with C#.

Read up about descent O-O programming (Object Oriented). It's not that something is allowed in a language that it's ok to do it so.

For the rest good luck with your quest in learning C++, if you get stuck you can always ask here on codeproject and don't let me see your code on the daily wtf Smile | :)

have fun.

No hurries, no worries.

I personally do not know of anything. Some languages are better suited for certain types of problems, however.
