Mike,
Thanks for the prompt reply. That makes sense. My problem is that people are complaining that when they copy stuff from the CDROM to somewhere else, the filename changes from say lowercase to upper case. Unfortuately I have to come up with a solution. Do you have any suggestions?
I'm not dependent on the "case" of the file name, but the inconsistancy is getting me in trouble 
Thanks alot. Starting to make sense now.

Could you get the drive letter from the file name and then query the drive type (GetDriveType)?

Yes, absolutely. But I already have the drive letter and information in hand except if its a media device (easy to get though).
As Mike said, it's the way the character information is being stored, so when I grab the file, it kicks back an all uppercase filename. ugh. not sure how to deal with it.

change the interface to make the user supply the target filename using a SaveAs Dialog, u know the same way IE does when you download a file?

is this possible? i see nothing in the MSDN about it, there's no "owner-drawn" style checkbox on the scroll bar property page, and i see no articles here or on codeguru about it.
i want a sexy little scroll bar..., not the boring old everyday ones.

Well I'm sure I've seen OD scroll bars, but where... Have you looked on CodeGuru. Doesn't the WinXP Theme stuff let you control the look of any and every control. I don't know whether GUIgui at http://www.nopcode.com[^] mucks with scroll bars, but it is worth a look.

I have seen them, but I am not sure if they were ownerdrawn scrollbars or custom controls. If I were to try this, I would take a look at the GetScrollBarInfo() (SDK or MFC links) function, it looks promising as it returns the scrollbar's coordinates, thumb size and position, and the state of the various scrollbar components. Maybe call this function in your scrollbar's WM_PAINT handler.

It's not horrible to implement your own scroll bar. Unfortunately, the example I have belongs to my employer  .

Why the GetBuffer?
str2.Format(_T("item %d: %s\r\n"), i, str.GetBuffer(0));
afxDump << str2;
Looks like just a str would be enough instead of str.GetBuffer? The (0) is also puzzling me.
Thanks
Appreciate your help,

%s wants a const char * (a LPCSTR, in Windows lingo), so the following should suffice:
str2.Format(_T("item %d: %s\r\n"), i, (LPCTSTR)str);
GetBuffer is IMHO overkill for two reasons:- It returns a
char * when just a const char * is needed. - It requires a later call to
ReleaseBuffer, which is prone to error (for lack of care by the programmer, or in the presence of exceptions).

I totally agree with Joaquin. I see GetBuffer abused all over the place, even by Microsoft people.

Actually, you can just use str in this case, since CString includes a builtin LPCTSTR conversion operator. The only time you need GetBuffer is if you are intending to modify the string directly through a character pointer. Also, any time you use GetBuffer, you should call ReleaseBuffer.

I have a bitmap that looks like a form. How can I print
that through visual c++ so that the output looks clear?
I can make it print the bitmap and it looks pretty good,
but the text is just alittle fuzzy. Any ideas on how to
print a crisp, clear bitmap?
Please, any response any one can give me will be greatly
appreciated.
Sincerely,
Danielle (an overworked graduate student)

how are you printing it now?

Hi,
I have a worker thread that calls the socket api's ::accept() function, which blocks until a client machine tries to connect to my application. How do you cancel the block? Say you want to shut down the application... Is there any timeout associated with ::accept()? I couldn't find any...
Thanks in advance!

no timeout on accept just close the socket that unblocks the accept call and returns an error well error notification then u call WSAGetLastError() to get the acutal error number

Greetings,
I am trying to do something that ought to be simple but it is eluding me.
I want to resize a CListCtrl (in Report mode) from within OnInitialUpdate() such that exactly N rows are displayed (where N is already known to be small enough to fit on the screen without needing scroll bars).
I can use GetCountPerPage() but that doesn't count partial lines and one of the things I want to eliminate is partially viewed lines.
I must be missing something elementary so a code fragment would be very nice!
Thanks.

I haven't tried it, but you can take a look at CListCtrl::ApproximateViewRect. In the event that this doesn't work, I think it should be possible just to use GetItemRect with LVSIL_BOUNDS, then take the height of the rectangle and multiply it by the number of items you have, and that will be the needed height.

Actually I tried this but I must have something still basically wrong:
<... do initialization ...>
CSize sz = m_list.ApproximateViewRect();
m_list.PostMessage(WM_SIZE, sz.cx, sz.cy);
This seems to have no effect.
I think I'm having a senior moment here...

That's not the correct way to size a window. Use this instead:
m_list.SetWindowPos( NULL, 0, 0, sz.cx, sz.cy, SWP_NOZORDER|SWP_NOACTIVATE|SWP_NOMOVE );

That's it!
I know about and use SetWindowPos() but I just couldn't think of it.
Thanks!
And here is my working implementation (if anybody wanted to see actual code):
CSize sz = m_list.ApproximateViewRect();
CRect itRect;
m_list.GetItemRect(0, &itRect, LVIR_BOUNDS);
int vOffset = itRect.Height() - 3;
m_list.SetWindowPos(NULL, 0, 0, sz.cx, sz.cy - vOffset,
SWP_NOZORDER|SWP_NOACTIVATE|SWP_NOMOVE);

Hi
I was wondering how to find out which nodes of the treeview (a treeview with checkboxes) have their checkboxes checked.
Thanks
