Can anyone tell me how to obtain the screen dimensions in an MFC app?
Thanks
|

it doesnt seems to be mfc. but its simply call api functions:
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);
|
|
|
|
|
|
Get SystemMetrics will do the trick, if you'd like to substract the taskbar of other toolbars => use SystemParametersInfo.

CWnd::GetDesktopWindow()->GetWindowRect (...);
Although this will return the same screen size regardless of the presence of app bars. You probably want the size of the workspace.

Have you used CF_UNICODETEXT as the format when you copied the data into the clipboard?

I paste the text from the MS Word document. The CEdit supports only the CF_TEXT format.

find your office "compiled help" file. This file has the .chm extension.
Here you can read up about the objects ...
It will not really get you started though.
Search on MSDN and google and idd hope that somebody has a sample code.
good luck.

MSDN article Q178749 has an Excel example. Step 9 is the important one as you'll use Word's type library instead of Excel's. Creating an instance of the (Word) _Application object and using its methods will be the same, though.
_Application app;
app.CreateDispatch(_T("Word.Application"));
Documents docs = app.GetDocuments();
CString strFilename(_T("A letter to home.doc"));
_Document doc = docs.Open(COleVariant(strFileName), ...);
...

Thanks a lot for the answers but now i get a new problem:

You should have included, not imported, msword9.h, preferably in the project's stdafx.h file.

I write "import" but i used correctly the "include". I don't have msword9.h but only CApplication.h, CDocuemnts.h and CDocuments0.h
I added the .h files like you say in the stdafx.h but don't work.

When you added Word's type library, it would have created a .h and a .cpp file and added those to the project. Can you confirm this?

Yes, but the created files are only: CApplication.h,CDocuments.h and CDocument0.h

Hi all,
Is Sleep( )ing too dangerous..??I am using to delay an execution of thread by using Sleep(50) for 50 milli seconds..But my world doesn't seem to accept it..
They call it a bad practice..is it so..??why is it like that..??
Is there anything better than Sleep( )ing in Life..Would be great if you can tell me anyone keeping Multithreaded application in view..
Now where in MSDN or in any standard doc. I could find anything so bad about it..only thing is it's suggested not to sleep when in creating Window UI's it's used..right..??

When a thread is suspended by using Sleep(), it no longer reacts to any Windows messages.
If the thread is running a window object (GUI, for example), then the window will stop responding to mouse clicks or other events when the thread is suspended. As such, the program appears as if it had crashed, although it is just suspended. Using Sleep() on threads that are not crucial to UI or your program is a working practise. But you should avoid Sleep() with UI threads.

Can hackers access our programs easily when using the sleep()? Would it be OK to use sleep() for private programs that will not be released to the public?

hello Friends,
I have got a table of following structure
Tran_ID Long Integer
Date Date
Type Text
Tran_Number Number
Amount Double
Quantity Double
Dr Text
Desc Memo
The above table is Created in Ms-Access, The main problem is when i use the Select query by using CRecordset object which is opened
CDatabase db;
db.Open("DSN=Test",0);
CRecordset rs(&db);
CString query;
query="Select * from Trans where Date = '08-06-2004'";
rs.Open(CRecordset::snapshot,_T(query));
I am getting an error, Data type mismatch in criteria when the query is to be executed, but where as When i used any other query which can easily match the text, its getting success, only problem with date,
thanking you,
Neelesh K J Jain.

Hello Neelesh,
Take the query string, and open up Access (if you have it). Then execute the query as is and see the results. I suspect that there is a syntax error in the SQL statement.
Found here at Code Project, there is an ODBC Query Tool available for download that is extremely effective in creating working ODBC query strings that fetch data correctly. What I mean by this is that it is most probable that the query string you create contains a syntax error. The quotes and double-quotes that are required by some SQL query strings are problematic when it comes to C++.
First, using ODBC Query Tool, create a query string that fetches the data properly. Then copy this string as is into your C++ code. If you need double-quotes, place a forward-slash '/' in front of them on the string, so they are treated properly.

You are not taking the time into consideration, nor are you using the # symbol for date types. You'll need something like:
query = "SELECT * FROM Trans WHERE Date BETWEEN #08/06/2004 00:00:00# AND #08/06/2004 23:59:59#";
