Set the Language as "C/C++" in the "Source File Properties". You will get it by right clicking the editor and select the "Properties".

I am sorry, I said about VC6. I am not so sure about how to do it in VC7.

I only have VC2005 right now. I think that VC2003 and VC2005's IDEs are very much similar. Smile | :)

Hmm, ".cpp" should be handled by default by Visual Studio. Are you sure you have installed the C++ component of Visual Studio?

You can always try running the VS installer and doing a repair...

Just my two cents.

Build date timestamp

Hello,

Is there away to implement a preprocessor macro that would generate a build date in the style of UNIX timestamp (like 20080103 etc.). It would be helpful to print this kind of timestamp into program's About box or include it into program's version number. I know there is __DATE__, but this outputs a different format.

Cheers

__DATE__ is what you need. Re-arranging string format won't be such a difficult task.

Re: How to prevent the program from painting windows outside the screen

2-Jan-08 19:34

I'm trying to restrict my dialog window from being moved outside the visible screen area.

I'm doing this using this method:

void CWindowsDVRDlg::OnWindowPosChanged(WINDOWPOS FAR* lpwndpos)
{
CSkinDialog::OnWindowPosChanged(lpwndpos);

CRect rc;
GetWindowRect (&rc);

if (EnsureRectangleOnDisplay(rc)){
SetWindowPos(NULL, rc.left, rc.top, 0,0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOZORDER);
}
else{
SendMessage(DM_REPOSITION);
}

RedrawWindow(NULL,NULL,RDW_INVALIDATE);
}

The code works but its flaw is that it's still painting the dialog window outside the visible screen area just before it is repositioned inside the screen (by SendMessage(DM_REPOSITION)). Flickering is the result of this.

Can anyone help me with this? You're help would be much appreciated.

Use OnWindowPosChanging instead.

Thanx!

I tried using OnWindowPosChanging() beforehand but the problem is, it seems it cannot process the SendMessage(DM_REPOSITION) at all which is what I need to implement.

Any other ideas on preventing the program from painting windows outside the screen (results in flickering) while using OnWindowPosChanged() and SendMessage(DM_REPOSITION)?

You can stop painting in the OnPaint method.
Or (better) you can invalidate (if it is under your control) only the inside-screen area.

I dont understand the need of this... If you are targeting to restrict the window movement, OnWindowPosChanging is enough. You only need to update the WINDOWPOS structure values passed by it. No need of DM_REPOSITION.

Is my understanding correct?

Can you post a specific piece of code on how to do this:
(If you are targeting to restrict the window movement, OnWindowPosChanging is enough. You only need to update the WINDOWPOS structure values passed by it. No need of DM_REPOSITION)

Actually, I have no idea how to make it work other than using SendMessage(DM_REPOSITION)in restricting window movement only to the visible screen. Could you help me please.
