i've developed a small program using ODBC database support. The database that the program uses is made in access 2000. i tested it at home without any problems.

But when i tried to run it on another machine, running access 97, a very vage error popped up saying 'unknown' and nothing else.
I've tried converting the database to an access 97 database, no luck. Making a new database using access 97 was without success either. i believe my odbc settings are correct.

Has anybody had this problem before, or thinks he knows what the problem is?

thanx in advance.

Access changes with every version. You should create your DB from the lowest version you think your users might have. You may be able to get it to work with the latest MDAC from Microsoft ( 2.7 ).

Hourglass cursor not restored?

I recently modified an app such that instead of it being SDI, it is now an MDI app. An unintended consequence of this change is that some combo box controls in a few dialogs now have developed some odd behaviour, even though the code associatted with the dialogs has not been touched at all. Essentially if the dialog handles the ON_CBN_SELCHANGE message and in processing this message a CWaitCursor is instantiated, when the method exits, the cursor is not restored. This only happens though if the user is using the keyboard to 'surf' through the drop down list. ie. PageDown/PageUp, DownArrow/UpArrow, etc. Now for the really weird part. Smile | :)

Even though the hourglass is displayed, the drop down window still accepts the mouse input. So that clicking with the hourglass over some other entry actually causes that entry to be selected.

I'm presently trying to duplicate the odd behaviour outside of all of the applications environment, but so far unsuccessfully. Additionally I think the SDI to MDI switch is a bit of a red herring, but I'm not sure.

Thanks.

Finally found some code that was added during the SDI to MDI switch that was the culprit. Just had to spend enough time searching through the VSS diff's. Smile | :)

I have an MFC application that gets poked by a remote app and shows a modal dialog. I want the modal dialog to make itself the active application and give itself focus.

Is this possible?

We have boundschecker and we have a lot of workspaces with projects in it. So we normaly use a .bat file to compile all of our workspaces. But now I've boundschecker and I want the same type of compiling with a bat file.

Does anyone have any idea how I can create a bat file witch will build all my workspaces at once with boundschecker integration.

Tried Russian - no problem. VS.NET is a true Unicode application. Check if there's something else misconfigured on your machine.

Thanks for reply.I'll try another language,but I don't think it is some thing misconfigurated on my windows,because I don't have problem in C#,it is only in VC.I changed the language culture in project setting to Farsi too,but there is no change.

Even with Unicode, not all fonts support all characters... it is just too much work for the average font maker to put in every single character. It could be that the right fonts aren't installed on your machine.. Confused | :confused:

I guess it depends - are you saying the ?? characters show up in the VC.NET IDE, or in your program's output/windows? If the former, I suppose you can probably change the fonts in VC.NET to ones that support Farsi. If it is your app, make sure it is being compiled in Unicode mode, and, again, that it is using fonts that have all the necessary characters.

Hope that helps.

Hi dear Mazdak,

Trust me, It's not Unicode problem !
As i told you before i installed VS .NET on a computer without any problem.
I install Farsi as non-Unicode.

I've same problem with you in my pc in home Poke tongue | ;-P

Is it M$ bug ?

Auto hide dialog base app on startup.

12-Nov-02 3:10

Hello I need your expert help. I am trying to make my app to auto hide on start up. Here are part of the code..

CTestDlg.h
----------
I put this on the message map.

afx_msg void OnWindowPosChanging(WINDOWPOS* lpwndpos);

CTestDlg.cpp
------------
I put the following line in BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CTestDlg, CDialog)

ON_WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING()

And have the following function

void CTestDlg::OnWindowPosChanging (WINDOWPOS* lpwndpos)
{
    CDialog::OnWindowPosChanging(lpwndpos);

    if (lpwndpos->flags & SWP_SHOWWINDOW) {
	lpwndpos->flags &= ~SWP_SHOWWINDOW;
    }
}

It compile without any error but when I run the program the dialog are still visible. Any ideas?

Thank you very much.

Try to change flags before call to base class function.

In OnInitDialog try:

if(!this->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE))
{
     <code>//handle the error if there is any</code>
     ...
}

to show it again:

if(!this->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW))
{
     <code>//handle the error if there is any</code>
     ...
}
