Hi
I have old dictionary software (English-arabic) and i want to ask if there is a way to extract the dictionary data to text or excel ? just tell me how 
the software coded in visual C++

It depends what you mean by 'extract'. You would need to know the structure of the data on the disk, and design a structure for the system you want to store it on. The issue is a matter of design rather than programming.

Could you please tell me how to get Google's PageRank for a desired web page using C++ language? Thank you!

Hi,
I have a dialog form inside a pane that has a popup menu which messages are handled in the CMainFrame. I am doing this because the same menu exists also in another pane.
In this case, the acceleratos of the Dialog's popupmenu are hidden since the MFC framework does not "see" any message handlers inside the dialog. The messages as I said before, are handled in the CMainFrame. The accelerators itself works just fine, the only problem is that does not show up in the screen to inform the user.
So, how to force MFC framework to show the dialog's accelerator keys ? I tried to add message handlers in the dialog class but it didn't worked.

Going on a screen-shot in this article: An examination of menus from a beginner's point of view[^]
Particularly, this image: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/menus/MenusForBeginners/MenuItemEdit.jpg[^]
You can see that adding a tab character and then the text to indicate the accelerator is the way it's done.
So, to make a menu item that says "Bold" and indicates the functionality can be achieved by hitting Ctrl-B, I'd use the text "Bold\tCtrl-B". Unlike the use of the & character to underline the following letter _and_ make the folowing letter actually work, with accelerators, you have to add the text and the accelerator yourself in 2 steps. One as I mentioned, by adding a tab separator between the main text and the accelerator text and the other, by adding an accelerator table,as you've already done.

Hi,
You may did not understand the problem. The menus are created dynamically and they have their accelerators shortcut keys as declared below.
VERIFY(popmenu.CreatePopupMenu());
popmenu.AppendMenu(MF_STRING, ID_MENU_STRETCH_NORMAL, _T("&Option 1\tAlt+1"));
popmenu.AppendMenu(MF_STRING, ID_MENU_STRETCH_MAX, _T("&Option 2\tAlt+2"));
The problem is that when the popup is showning up to the screen, the acceleratos keys are hidden for the reason I explained in my first post.

Hi,
Yes, I think that is true.
If I understand correctly, the accelerator 'hints' on the popup menu are fine. However, when the popup is displayed, the accelerator hints of the dialog are hidden.
If so, I'm still not sure I understand what the issue is - i.e, a popup menu has the keyboard and mouse focus until it dissapears. It is the WindowProc of the popup that receives all input, so in that case it seems to me, that displaying the accelerators of the dialog would not be useful.
However, you've already mentioned that the accelerators are working correctly. This, combined with the thread title and your last post leaves me confused as to what your intentions and problem are.

That's correct.
By default if you start a new MFC app and you create a menu that have some acceleration keys, if you are not handling in some way their messages ie loading the accel table, then it automatically disables them.
The problem is that I handle the accel keys not in the dialog but in the MainFrame where the same menu also exists !!!

Hi,
Microsoft has pulled the carpet from underneath me too often. I am now seriously considering going to Linux. Windows 8.XX is entirely incompatible with providing software for a cash register program. WinXP SP1 was perfect for same, As is MFC42 and VC5.00.
Are there equivalents for the same environment for Linux.
Managed Code is an un acceptable alternative. Internet access by the end product is not required.
What is the closest development environment in Linux, to VC 5.00
Regards,
Bram

You may also consider Codelite[^] and even passing to Java programming language.
THESE PEOPLE REALLY BOTHER ME!! How can they know what you should do without knowing what you want done?!?!

Thanks,
Java is something I would never consider. The suite is leased by customers under an annual licence. Distributing Java Code would jeopardise revenue collection because of easy decompilation. CodeLite merits further investigation though.
However, The entire project consists of 1100 Files, roughly 900 of these relate to MFC, the remaining 200 relate to Non MFC CPP Classes, or, to plain 'C' Code. Hence, I am looking for File Conversion(and not of the video type) This can range from a set of suitable and crafty '#define'S to the writing of a parser and code generator.
The project started in earnest in 2001 on Win98 Architecture. The existing Code Base is considered 'Bug Free' since 2005.

If you have a lot of existing MFC code, wxWidgets is really modeled to be similar (actually not sure if it was modeled on MFC or it just sort of evolved similarly).

 Wx would have been my suggestion, too.
A gui I have with custom controls and drawing works equally well under XP, Vista, Win7 and linux. On hardware as varied as a q8400, i3, i7 and a raspberry pi. Simply build for the appropriate platform and voila! Portable, consistent code/gui.

(just curious)
In what way? it does not make sense; usually, hardware like that have their own "OS" (and it is usually not Windows)
AFAIL, MFC has not changed since the 2008 feature pack.
Are you using a proprietary SDK/OS for the cash register machine ?
I'd rather be phishing!

Not true at all... a bunch of POS systems run on Windows. Of course, a bunch others run on Linux... so it just depends on the manufacturer.

I stand corrected.
but if POS' OS is windows, than it will probably will not allow be be replaced by linux. (or the other way around).

The POS software is simply just that... software. It runs on a standard computer. Again, depending on the manufacturer, the computer can be a standard computer (since they're relatively cheap) or a smaller form factor embedded computer with a screen (those can be really cheap, have a smaller footprint).
Since it's just a computer w/ software, it can be hosted on whatever OS you want as long as you've built it that way. If you have full-blown Windows on a machine, odds are it's a bigger machine, because most small-form factor embedded computers don't have that much RAM.
Some places may even still be on Unix systems. The big companies are slow to adopt changes and their Unix systems worked so well they've been hesitant to change. I believe Home Depot may still use Unix systems. They're fast and are all linked together so they can track everything based on their databasing of collected data.

fair enough.
I have to say, I never really looked at the POS to know better!!!
Thanks.

I've worked on embedded systems... so as an engineer (and nerd) I pay attention to what OS's things run on.

Actually I would suspect that the vast majority of POSes run on either windows or a unix variation. Even if one includes systems going back 20 years I would expect that probably at least 90% run one or the other.

Not sure how your statement differs from what I said...
|
|
|
|
|
You statement could have been taken to mean that even though there was a significant number on Linux/windows, but there could have been others on something else. And this could be a fairly recent development.
But instead almost all of them all windows/Linux and have been for a long time. And I only say almost because it is possible there are some. Although I suspect very few in the US.

I guess you didn't read the plethora of other posts I wrote? 
In any case, we're not in disagreement.
