There is no easy way. There is no "check" style for a listbox - there's an MFC class which does clever things for you.
Have a look at the code for CCheckListBox, and you'll see it actually does owner draw for the listbox. I can't remember how it stores the check state - either as item data, or an internal map.
So, you'll have to learn how to do owner draw in Win32 (just a case of setting the right styles and responding to a couple of messages) and implement the functionality yourself.
If I were you, I'd grab large sections of the work from CCheckListBox - but you'll still have quite a bit of effort to do.
Good luck!

Thanks for the reply Iain.
I think we can use ListControl in place of listbox.
When I am using ListControl on the dialog, the dialog is not becoming visible.
Does anyone have some idea about it ? Can I use ListControl in a win32 application to show the checkbox.
Thanks in advance

A List View Control[^] with the LVS_REPORT style set and LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES extended style might be what you're after. Also remember, as with all common controls, you must call InitCommonControlsEx[^].

The answer to your actual question is:
You do it the same way you'd read any other file: CreateFile, ReadFile, CFile, CFile::Read, etc.
If you mean a file on a webserver somewhere, that's different.
Lookup InternetReadFile, InternetOpenUrl, etc. Read the documentation for those very carefully.
But that will just give you a big bunch of html.
If you want your program to understand the html, that's different again. But "parser" is the right search term to use. There are articles on codeproject that do various amounts of it, it will just depend on how sophisticated you need to be.
If you want to display html to a user, it's easier - look at CHtmlView in MFC.
Good luck,
Iain.

I have a application where data will get stored in SQL 2000 database. Now i have to retrive data from database & store it in the excel file.
I am using VC++ 6.0 version with MFC, SDI & database connectivity through ODBC.
Could any one guide me to achieve this? Kindly let me know if you would need more details to reply to my question.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply. I am new to VC++. This example is without MFC. Could you send me details on how to retrive data from SQL & store it in Excel.
Could you guide me on how to go about this?

Break the problem down into more manageable parts. Can you extract data from the database (e.g., using CRecordset)? Can you use Excel Automation?

No, I have neither read data from database nor used excel automation before.
Could you send me some link or literature on the above?

How do we create a language pack?
Is there any tutorial available ?
Please provide the link.
Thanks
|
|

If you mean for windows? I strongly doubt you can.
If you mean you want to have multiple resources in different languages in your software, well, just go and add them! Just right click to get properties and set the language of your choice.
There are articles on CP about internationalization / internationalisation you can read for more information.
Good luck,
Iain.

Maybe it's "Resource Only Dlls" you are looking for.
...Plug & Pray... 
|
|
|
|

I have created Resource only DLLs already but my system is not supporting all languages.
This will happen with the client also. So how can I support languages without installing language pack either through WIN XP CD or through microsoft site.
Where can I get free language pack which I can attach with my software.
Plz reply soon.
Thanks

Hi ,
I have a problem of memory leak when we call a function from win 32 DLL in our MFC program.
DLL is C type and return value of my DLL is Char* and it is locally defined in function of DLL. and size is 1024 byte.
when functon call four times then MFC application hold 4 KB Extra memory.
|
|
|
|
|
Is the DLL allocating memory that the char* points to, on the heap? Probably then the calling application must free this memory up? Do you have any docs for that DLL? Or if you have the source code, you may verify this.

i m using New and Delete in calling application(MFC).
but "delete []cData;" line have error runtime.
if we use cData='\0' and after this "delete []cData;"
then memory leak still continue.
how can free memory in MFC application.
|
|
|
|
|
If the memory is allocated with new in the DLL, then clean it up with delete after you've used the data. Where is the difficulty? I don't see anything more to 'discuss' about here.

Actually i am using static linking a dll.
so when we used delete then runtime error occor about heap
|
|
|
|
|
When returning char* as return value, you must allocate memory in heap(using malloc or new), from your DLL and deallocate this memory(free or delete) after usage from the calling applciation.

That should not be a surprise...
Either you are just making a silly mistake (which we all do), or it's a bit more complex and you are allocating and freeing from different heaps. This could happen if you statically link to the C++ runtime.
One simple choice would be to use IMalloc to allocate / free chunks of memory. Look at CoGetMalloc etc for documentation.
I still think it's likely to be something dumb... Are you sure the memory is not already freed elsewhere?
