I know the simple and easy way on how to create a context help file. For each dialog resource I just have to add the ID of the dialog (actually the ID created by makehelp) to the rtf file. The problem is that I have a dialog which I use over and over but its contents are different depending on the menu (or the button) that calls it. Therefore, I have different help topics that need to be associated with the dialog. The problem is that the dialog has only one ID and I don't know how to associate it with different topics.
For example I have a button called "Category" and when I click it a dialog pops up with a bunch of data in it. The idea is that if I hit F1, the "Category" help topic will appear on the screen.
I have another button called "Items" and when I click it the same dialog that I used for "Category" pops up but this time it contains another set of data. Therefore, F1 should display the "Items" help topic.
The problem is that the dialog has a unique ID which I can't pass to the help file because I can associate this ID only with one topic. Any suggestions please?

Use CDialog::SetHelpID() to set different help IDs based on the data you are showing.

Hi all, I need some help. I'm trying to draw to a device that does not really have a device. The resolution for this device is 204x196. An application that someone else did takes all the positions of the objects/texts and multiplies them by a factor. Unfortunatly, with this factor, I cannot get text to line up as I can on the screen and the printer. He is using a factor of 2.12, but this does not equate to one inch on the screen to one inch on the new device and to one inch on the printer. Actually, 2.18 equates to one inch. (This factor does create fonts in the correct position.)
What I was thinking was to do one of the following:
- Use the SetWindowExt/SetViewportExt -- didn't work...
- Create a expansion of one above that will allow perfact scaling then get the bit map and shrink it down.
- Use the ScaleViewportExtEx and just magnify it up to the proper scale. I cannot seem to get this to work as advertised.
So, any help that you guys can give would be greatly appericated.
Thanks

Some thoughts would be to do one of the following:
Figure out why the ScaleViewportExt is not working.
Do double buffer drawing and simply do a StretchBlt rather than a BitBlt when drawing to your scaled device. This approach doesn't always look very good, though.
onwards and upwards...

How does the WindowExt & ViewportExt work? I know they have no effect on map modes like MM_LOENGLIDS/MM_HIENGLISH/MM_LOMETRIC/MM_HIMETRIC/MM_TWIPS/MM_TEXT. It only has an effect if you are using MM_ISOTROPIC and MM_ANISOTROPIC. By using these you can create a one-to-one relations ship with other units?
Like: The screen is usally 96dpi and I have a device that is 200dpi. I create a bitmap in 200dpi (lengthXwidth), then use these to create a conversion from the 96 -> 200?
Examle:
pDC->SetMapMode( MM_ISOTROPIC );
pDC->SetWindowExt( 96 * 8.5, 96 * 11 ); // or 120 if using large fonts
pDC->SetViewportExt( 200*8.5, 200*11 );
Rect( 96, 96, 192, 192 );
pDC->Rectangle( &Rect )
Would this create a 1" x 1" on the new bitmap?
Thanks

Hi,
I am programming with Visual C++ 6.0. My sources files are on an intranet network. Visual C++ is installed locally on my computer. I compile and link over the network.
I plan to put my sources files in my desktop computer and compile locally because I have remark that compiling true the network is slow.
I want to know wich method is using to back up sources files at the end of the day.
Bye,
Claude

I know what you mean. Even a 100 TX connection is slow during compiles. I think this is mainy because of permissions but I may be wrong...
I created a batch file to zip my source and copy it to the network folder.

Hello,
How to change size of a activexcontrol (which is in a dialog) dynamically. How to enable autoscroll of a dialog if size of activexcontrol is bigger than size of dialog.
Thanks,

I define a rich edit box with horizontal and vertical scroll bar.
It works as it is supposed to; however, when I set the option ECO_SAVESEL with SetOption (no matter if OR or SET), the scroll bars don't come up. (SetOption is executed in InitDialog).
Does anyone have an idea, what's wrong or how to circumvent the problem?

I have the same problem, I'm waiting solution also.

add code:
m_richedit.ShowScrollBar(SB_VERT,FALSE);
it will be ok.

I used VS.NET 2003 to create a windows installer package but if I try and install the resulting msi package over the top of a previous install it complains with a message "... you must uninstall the previous version first"
Is there any way to allow installing over an existing one? and a related topic is can I set certain files to not be copied to the target if they exist already?

I have looked at the Modern C++ Design book and since none of the examples work in VC6 world, figured I should come up with something of my own.
So to start with, what do you think about this Singleton implementation?
header file
#include <windows.h>
class CSingleton
{
public:
static CSingleton & GetSingletonInstance ();
static void Guard();
static void UnGuard();
private:
CSingleton();
CSingleton(const CSingleton & );
virtual ~CSingleton();
static CSingleton * m_pSingleton;
static CRITICAL_SECTION m_CriticalSection;
static long m_lGuardCount;
};
cpp file
#include "Singleton.h"
CSingleton * CSingleton::m_pSingleton;
CRITICAL_SECTION CSingleton::m_CriticalSection;
long CSingleton::m_lGuardCount;
CSingleton::CSingleton()
{
}
CSingleton::~CSingleton()
{
}
CSingleton::CSingleton(const CSingleton & )
{
}
CSingleton & CSingleton::GetSingletonInstance()
{
if(!m_pSingleton)
{
Guard();
if(!m_pSingleton)
m_pSingleton = new CSingleton();
UnGuard();
}
return *m_pSingleton;
}
void CSingleton::Guard()
{
EnterCriticalSection(&m_CriticalSection);
m_lGuardCount++;
}
void CSingleton::UnGuard()
{
LeaveCriticalSection(&m_CriticalSection);
m_lGuardCount--;
}
How does this implementation look to you? The GuardCount is just there for reference. Doyou think Critical Section is enough or should I be using Events or Mutexes?

What does happen if
Anonymous wrote:
m_pSingleton = new CSingleton();
produce an exception?
How do you dispose of m_pSingleton when program ends?
|
|
|
|
|
As for the disposal part, wouldn't be cleaned up automatically as it is a static variable?
