Use ShellExecute()
```
ShellExecute(m_hWnd, "print", "MyFile.txt", NULL, NULL, SW_HIDE);
```
This will execute the program associated with the .txt extension and tell it to print the file.

Use system()
```
system("copy "MyFile.txt" lpt1:");
```
This will send the file to the printer using the DOS copy command. Note that the last (partial) page will probably not be printed, unless you send a formfeed.

Use MFC's doc/view printing architecture. See the Printing section here on CP for more details.

hello world,
I develop video capture application, and i need to extract frames as bmp.

I use directshow to capture my 1394 dv, and vfw.h to extract frames.

capture is ok and works quitte well.

But (terrific 'but'!!)

when i try to use vfw.h functions, compilation gives no error, but i always have the sam linking errors
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _AVIFileInit@0

I tried everything, vfw32.lib seems to be the same version, it describes the same functions...

My project is not a commercial one, it has artistic purposes. Deadlines are getting closer and i am afraid to be late.

PLEASE HELP

Mr PIER

Hi,

I've build an application with some documentation (in an Adobe PDF format), and I must build a button in my app to show this documentation.

Do you know wether I can open this file from my own program (please add some sample code, using "help.pdf", or something like it), if this isn't possible, can I do it with ms word (doc format help).

Thank you in advance,

Boudewijn

Use ShellExecute():

ShellExecute(m_hWnd, "open", "help.pdf", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOW);

This assumes that Acrobat is installed.

Hi,

I need to have some kind of control to select a directory, just like a file:

There must be some kind of dialog, like an openFileDialog, wich can select directories, instead of jsut files.

Does anyone know wether there is such a control, and where can I find it in MFC?

Thank you in advance,

Boudewijn

Log Window

I need special log/history window control where the first line that is entered appears at the bottom, and the contents are scrolled upwards. (Like in mIRC). And it must be able to select the text. Maybe there is a way to modify CEdit class?

Chao Zuo5-Aug-03 23:04

void EnsureVisible()
{
// The pointer to my edit.
extern CEdit* pmyEdit;

int nLines = pmyEdit->GetLineCount();

// Scroll the edit control so that the first visible line
// is the last line of text.
if (nLines > 0)
{
pmyEdit->LineScroll(nLines+1, 0);
}
}

Then,you can call this function so that the last line is always visible.

Thanks for scrolling, but i need the first line to be displayed at the bottom of CEdit. Imagine empty Edit control. Then i call some AddLine(...) function and this line appears at the bottom (not at the top like CEDit does). The second line moves first one upward and so on.

Generally i need something like this

but with ability to select text

Derive CMyEdit from CEdit. Add this method to CMyEdit:

void CMyEdit::Insert(LPCTSTR lpszText)
{
    SetSel(0, 0);
    ReplaceSel(lpszText);
}

Add lines to edit box like this:

CMyEdit m_edit;
.
.
.
for (int n = 0; n < 100; n++)
{
    CString str;
    str.Format("This is line %d\r\n", n);
    m_edit.Insert(str);
}

Note: in Resource Editor, make sure edit box has styles multiline, vertical scroll, and auto vscroll.

HPSI have done it.

May be, you need the first line is always visible. Big Grin | :-D

void EnsureVisible()
{
// The pointer to my edit.
CMyEdit m_edit;
int nFirstVisible = m_edit.GetFirstVisibleLine();

// Scroll the edit control so that the first visible line
// is the last line of text.
if (nFirstVisible > 0)
{
m_edit.LineScroll(-nFirstVisible, 0);
}

hello,
I want to send a pointer from my VB client app. to a VC dll the code is :
for VB
-------

Private Declare Sub GenerateReport Lib "Generator.dll" (ByVal datele As ADODB.Recordset)

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim con As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset

c = "PROVIDER=sqloledb;server=romulus;uid=sa;pwd=951;DataBase=SindServLast"
Set con = New ADODB.Connection
con.Open c
Dim s As String
s = "select * from T_USR_Useri"
Set rs = con.Execute(s)
GenerateReport rs
End Sub

fot VC dll
-----------

void GenerateReport(_RecordsetPtr pRs)
{
pRs->MoveFirst();
CString text;
text=(char*)((_bstr_t)pRs->Fields->GetItem((_variant_t)("usr_LoginName"))->Value);
}

and everything works fine in vc ... the pointer is recived correctly and the text CString is filled ok but after that when my c++ function ends and the execution returns to VB the VB client crushes ... and raise an access violation error ..
why ?
thanks !!!!!

Perhaps you should be use "_RecordsetPtr* pRs".
Try it,then you could be success.

I doubt it. _RecordsetPtr is a smart pointer. Nevertheless, he could try it. You have no idea how many times I am wrong.
