ATC13-Mar-03 9:32 ATC 13-Mar-03 9:32  Hi, We are using Visual C++6.0 (with InstallShield), because we want to build a distribution application that using MS Access through DAO (Dynaset). When we try to use InstallShieldWizard ... we could not see the option DAO/JetEngine template ... as InstallShield 5.1 Professional! My question is: Can we do Visual C++ 6.0 with InstallShield Wizard ... or we must use the InstallShield 5.1 Professional (or 8.0) for our distribution application? I appreciate anyone who knows detail about this issue, Many thanks Returning a file name RalfPeter13-Mar-03 9:20 RalfPeter 13-Mar-03 9:20  How can I check for the existence of a file in a directory?

My implementation does not work - I am running Visual Studio 6.0 Here is a snippet: myEditCtrl.ModifyStyle(GetStyle() & ~WS_VISIBLE, WS_CHILD | WS_TABSTOP | WS_GROUP); Please help - Thank you Re: CEdit set it to invisible and visible Chris Losinger13-Mar-03 9:07 Chris Losinger 13-Mar-03 9:07  how about myEditCtrl.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE); and myEditCtrl.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); ? -c Image tools: ThumbNailer, Bobber, TIFFAssembler Re: CEdit set it to invisible and visible Brian Shifrin13-Mar-03 9:17 Brian Shifrin 13-Mar-03 9:17  ->myEditCtrl.ModifyStyle(GetStyle() & ~WS_VISIBLE, WS_CHILD | WS_TABSTOP | WS_GROUP); Oh my, ModifyStyle(StylesToRemove, StylesToAdd); In other words you are removing all styles but WS_VISIBLE and adding WS_CHILD |WS_TABSTOP | WS_GROUP... Should be: myEditCtrl.ModifyStyle(WS_VISIBLE, NULL); Re: CEdit set it to invisible and visible GWENJi13-Mar-03 9:32 GWENJi 13-Mar-03 9:32  Thank you guys for all of your help! I tried doing: myEditCtrl.ModifyStyle(WS_VISIBLE, NULL); but it does not work. The ctrl is initially set to visible. Anything else you can suggest? Re: CEdit set it to invisible and visible Christian Graus13-Mar-03 9:36 Christian Graus 13-Mar-03 9:36  Do what Chris said, it's the easiest and most correct way to do it. myEditCtrl.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW), myEditCtrl.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) Christian NO MATTER HOW MUCH BIG IS THE WORD SIZE ,THE DATA MUCT BE TRANSPORTED INTO THE CPU. - Vinod Sharma Anonymous wrote: OK.

Is there a limitation with Visual Studio 6.0? Re: CEdit set it to invisible and visible Christian Graus13-Mar-03 10:00 Christian Graus 13-Mar-03 10:00  Wow - I've been trying to answer this since you posted it. CP is SO slow at times... I just did a dialog app in VC6, and added an edit and a button, the button does this: void CDialogTestDlg::OnButton1() { m_Edit.ShowWindow((m_bState) ? SW_HIDE : SW_SHOW); m_bState = !m_bState; } Works like a dream. Have you verified that your SW_HIDE/SW_SHOW code is being called ? Is it being called AFTER the control is created ? Is your variable pointing to the right control ? Christian NO MATTER HOW MUCH BIG IS THE WORD SIZE ,THE DATA MUCT BE TRANSPORTED INTO THE CPU. - Vinod Sharma Anonymous wrote: OK. I read a c++ book.

How do I verify that SW_HIDE/SW_SHOW is being called? Re: CEdit set it to invisible and visible Christian Graus13-Mar-03 10:11 Christian Graus 13-Mar-03 10:11  Set a breakpoint (F9 and it will stop there when you run in debug mode ), or AfxMessageBox("Here I am, isn't it peachy ??"); Just below the line.

I made sure the control is created before I make this call. But, still not working. I am headed out for the evening, but will try your suggestion later tonight. Thanks again! Re: CEdit set it to invisible and visible Christian Graus13-Mar-03 10:41 Christian Graus 13-Mar-03 10:41  It's bound to be something simple. I'd suggest following my steps, create a dialog app, with an edit and a button, set up a bool and insert the code I posted. Then work backwards to figure out what is different in your code. Good luck !! Christian NO MATTER HOW MUCH BIG IS THE WORD SIZE ,THE DATA MUCT BE TRANSPORTED INTO THE CPU. - Vinod Sharma Anonymous wrote: OK. I read a c++ book. Or...a bit of it anyway.

TIA Matt(Padawan Learner) Re: Changing a project to Statically Link Chris Losinger13-Mar-03 9:07 Chris Losinger 13-Mar-03 9:07  change the selection in : Project / Settings / General / Microsoft Foundation Classes -c Image tools: ThumbNailer, Bobber, TIFFAssembler Re: Changing a project to Statically Link Anonymous13-Mar-03 9:11 Anonymous 13-Mar-03 9:11  Thanks. I had been trolling around there but must have missed that option. Re: Changing a project to Statically Link Rob Groves13-Mar-03 10:42 Rob Groves 13-Mar-03 10:42  You may also need to select project, settings, c++, code generation (from memory) and make sure that the C runtime is also statically linked. Cheers, Rob. Re: Changing a project to Statically Link Michael Dunn13-Mar-03 11:41 Michael Dunn 13-Mar-03 11:41  No need, when you change the MFC link type, it automagically changes the CRT link type as well. --Mike--    THERE IS NO     THERE IS NO    BUT THERE IS MAGIC PIXIE DUST  BUSINESS GENIE  CODE PROJECT Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber
