i create a treeview in a wnd derived from CWindowImpl ( i use atl), and i create a imglistctrl for the treeview,
everything seems ok of the imagelist, and i assign a image index for every node of the trewview, but no icon shows, and a small empty rect keeps at the left of every node's, anyone can help me?

Calling a URL from an MFC - MDI application

I have a simple MDI application which will load a browser view in its child frame. For an instance I am loading gmail in the child frame.

I am using CHtmlView class and the funtion CHtmlView::Navigate2 to do the same. I have no issues in opening the link. As per my knowledge, this need IE browser right? What If I want to use chrome and do the same?

The WebBrowser control is an ActiveX component based on Microsoft libraries. It is independent of whatever browser you actually use.

I can't open the OpenSCManager Function in C++ & Debug.
The error-code is always 5.

It works, when i don't use Debug with Admin-Rights only.

With VS 2008 it works.

What can i do ? Confused | :confused:

the code shows std::bad_alloc error dont know what to do about it when remove the push_back it dissapears. please help on what to do. this happens only when I am entering a huge string s else it runs perfectly fine. is there another efficient way to find all the possible substring, arrange them lexicographicaly and then concatinate them back into one string????pls help thnx in advance

I wonder how your code could possibly compile (in fact, it doesn't on my system, using g++): you are using the variable c, declared std::string where a int is expected.

sry c and i are integer types. I was making it look proper. in the begining they were all in different places

If you want proper help then you have to post the original code.

David Crow11-Nov-15 2:43

q is defined as a string, yet you are using it as a subscript in the following:

cout << s[q-1] << endl;

Please clean up this code if you are really expecting help from us.

Standalone Windows Application using Visual C++ and SQL DB is possible?

Stefan_Lang13-Nov-15 4:23

1. Always post the code that you actually use and that shows the described (problematic) behaviour
2. Cleaning up your code can occasionally help, but if you do so, then (a) make sure the clean code still compiles (and runs) to the extent the original code did, and (b) make sure the code still shows the same issue(s)! There really is no point discussing code that doesn't show the behaviour you are describing.
3. Learn to use a debugger, step through your code, and examine the current value of your local variables. Since you already know where you're crashing, it's a good starting point to set a break point before the call to push_back(), and investigate the state of your variables then.

Bonus tip: remove that line using namespace std; It is a crutch and will make it more difficult to spot issues in your code. You'll need to add the prefix std:: in many places, so that requires additional typing, but it really isn't that hard, and it adds to the readability of your code as well as reducing the likelyhood that you're mixing up local and library symbols! The extra effort of always typing std:: pays off very quickly!

If you don't believe me, the warnings are all over the place right in the C++ reference. See for example http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/namespace#Using-directives[^]:

cppreference.com wrote:
Using-directive does not add any names to the declarative region in which it appears (unlike the using-declaration), and thus does not prevent identical names from being declared.

and

cppreference.com wrote:
The using-directive using namespace std; at any namespace scope introduces every name from the namespace std into the global namespace (since the global namespace is the nearest namespace that contains both std and any user-declared namespace), which may lead to undesirable name collisions. This, and other using directives are generally considered bad practice at file scope of a header file.

Emphasis mine.

GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

Nice to meet you guys,

It's been a long time since I developed a program.
Now I need to build a simple register program that needs to be a standalone exe running on Windows 7 and above.
Is this possible? if yes where do I start?
I want to use (and learn) Visual C++ in the process.

My best regards,

Rodolfo

that really depends on what you mean by 'standalone' - I'll assume unless otherwise corrected you mean as in 'not connected to a remote database ie on another machine in a network' .. in which case, yes, very possible - there are versions of MSSQL that are light enough, there's SQLite and plenty of other databases you can deploy with your application for a 'standalone' install - the decider between databases is/are the usual questions concerning databases

how ? make google your friend - read voraciously - trawl CP for example projects - find an example that you 'grok' and use it as a model for your own case - the only way to learn is to do.

When you have specific issues, there are forums here you can post technical issues on
