Do you mean VS6.0 and VS8.0
AFAIK there is nothing like MFC6 or MFC8 that may be the reason you don't find anything on google related with it

No, that wasn't an update; it didn't happen all of a sudden - those versions of MFC were already existent. Having worked on MFC for several years (your profile), I was shocked you didn't know it. I would guess that you probably were emphasizing more on Win32, ATL or something else. Smile | :)

Possibly. But, did you check out the additions to MFC via VS 2008 feature pack? I'm very impressed. The new additions are awesome; it would make a lot of articles on "How to do this extra thing with MFC" obsolete, as almost everything is now a part of MFC and is implemented in a much more elegant way.

I would agree if you say they stole the "idea" (not the content). Because most articles are published under a license that prevents them from using it for commercial purposes. Besides that, the code for new additions is from BCGSoft. Smile | :)

With every new release of MFC, there are additional security features, additional classes, more methods added to existing classes, etc., I don't know if you will be able to find a document which would do a side by side comparison between two versions of MFC.

If you need to know the new features of a specific version of MFC, just Google for "What's new MFC X.0", X being the version of your interest (or even better, try looking into MSDN?!).

Besides that, these links may be of your interest:

String and wstring question

Hi all,

I have this class generated by gsoap:

class SOAP_CMAC _ns1__DoCheckForProductUpdates
{
public:
	std::string *productName;	/* optional element of type xsd:string */
	std::string *productVersion;	/* optional element of type xsd:string */
	std::string *serialNumber;	/* optional element of type xsd:string */
	std::string *siteCode;	/* optional element of type xsd:string */
	struct soap *soap;	/* transient */

then my structure:

struct RMproduct
	{
		RMproduct(){};
		RMproduct(wstring szName, wstring serv, wstring version){m_Name = szName; m_serviceKey = serv; m_versionKey = version;};

		wstring m_serviceKey;
		wstring m_versionKey;

		wstring m_Name;
		wstring m_SerialNo;
		wstring m_VersionNo;
		
		//xml	
		vector<RMUpdates*>* updateList; 
		~RMproduct()
		{
			if (updateList !=NULL) {
				vector<RMUpdates*>::iterator Iter;	
				Iter = updateList->begin();
				for (; Iter < updateList->end(); Iter++)				
					delete *Iter;
				updateList->clear();
			}
			delete updateList;				
		}
	};

I cant find a way to pass the value of
wstring m_Name;
wstring m_SerialNo;
wstring m_VersionNo;

to

std::string *productName;
std::string *productVersion;
std::string *serialNumber;

thats what I need to be able to use the methods of the webservice.

Thanks,
jayjay

You actually need a string conversion. You may use, for instance WideCharToMultiByte [^].

Well, the library documentation should state if you need to allocate the string object or you just nned to use it.

Use W2A() macro for painless conversion. Wink | ;)

For instance,

#include "atlconv.h"

// The wide string.
wstring WideString = L"Hello";

{
   USES_CONVERSION;

   // converted string.
   string str = W2A( WideString.c_str());
}

Regards,
Jijo.

How can I get the Index of a tree control Item ?

I have a tree tree control with check boxes corresponding to the
leaf items. How can I retrieve the zero-based index of the leaf item
when I click on their corresponding check box.

Thanks in advance

You may compute it traversing the childs of the selected item's parent.

I could write the following code snippet based on the suggestion to accomplish the requirement :

HTREEITEM	hSelectedItem = m_pwndPageTree->HitTest(&HitTestInfo);
:
:
HTREEITEM hNextItem = m_pwndPageTree->GetRootItem();

INT	nCounterForPageIndex = 0;

if (hSelectedItem != hNextItem)
{				
while (hSelectedItem != hNextItem)
{
	hNextItem = m_pwndPageTree->GetNextItem(hNextItem, TVGN_NEXTVISIBLE);
	nCounterForPageIndex++;
}					
}

Thanks for the suggestion

CListCtrl(Report Style)

how can i select all rows in report?
ex:

m_list my CListCtrl.

for(int i=0; i<m_list.getitemcount();i++)>
{
if(m_list.GetCheck(i))
{

CString s1 = m_list.GetItemText(i++,4);

m_rezult.SetWindowText(s1);

}
}

this not work ...
i whant to do somenting like this :

col1|col2|col3|
--------------
1 | 1 | 1 |
--------------
2 | 2 | 2 |
--------------
3 | 3 | 3 |
--------------

lets say i have checked row 2 and 3 and i have this :
row 2 (col3) + row3(col3) = m_result.SetWindowText(...);
How can i do that?
