hiho@ll

i'm using Visual Studio .NET 2003 and a Setup Project for my Application

For my application i set a link in the program menu to my application
but it just opens the Folder of my programm and not the program directly!?

I was using the Target option in the Link Options of my Setup project
and i Can only set "Application Directory" as the target

how can i set the Target to Application Directory\myprog.exe?

thx @ll

maybe u can use inno setup instead.
i had ur problem before.
inno setup is very good except it can not replace files which is in using properly - maybe i lost some features of the setup, u can try it.
u can find downlod link in this forum or by google.

I am trying to find a way to extract and send the contents of TEXT FILE 1, via email, to a list of email addresses in TEXT FILE 2.

So just to clarify, I would like some code which will rip the contents of Text File 1 and send the contents to everyone in Text File 2.

Any help received will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

No, sorry to dissapoint you, but its not going to be used for SPAM!!

I am trying to implement a notification process in my comapany, which aims to notify users when a change has occured to certain documents and systems.

I have got a program that is triggered off when a change has been recorded. Now, I would like to find a process to notifiy users about the changes made.

Cheers.

MAPI has already been mensioned. You will need a MAPI mail client installed on the machine however in order to use it.

You could also use SMTP see http://www.codeproject.com/internet/csmtpconn.asp[^]

for a good SMTP wrapper.

With regards to reading the data from the file, if you are using MFC take a look at CFile see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_MFC_CFile.asp[^]

Win32 CreateWindow function

Hello,

I use the Win32 API to make a small application (so, no MFC !). I would like to have a dialog resource displayed on the main window. At the begining of my program, I call CreateWindow and supply my own message pump. But how can I do to show a dialog box as main window ? Do I need to hide the window created with CreateWindow and then create a dialog box using the DialogBox function ?

Thanks

Since you are wanting to create a lightweight GUI have you considered looking at the WTL?

Thanks for your response but I don't use Visual Studio. I'm using Dev-C++ and I don't know if it supports the WTL (I'm new to WTL...). I will take a look

Thanks

Menu in SDI Application

Hi,

To show the menu item in SSI application , Its Handler must be added.

I want to Inactive the Menu Item under some event .

Lets say on Clicking a button in

OnBtnShowClick ()
{
// Here i want to Inactive any Menu Item .
// Menu is ... File -> Show File , want to Inactive "Show File" Item
}

what should i do ?

Thanx

Regards.

You need an ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI() handler. Here's an example for a menu item named "Delete":

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CBaseView, CListView)
    //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CBaseView)
    ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(ID_ITEM_DELETE, OnUpdateItemDelete)
    //}}AFX_MSG_MAP
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
 
void CBaseView::OnUpdateItemDelete(CCmdUI* pCmdUI) 
{
    CListCtrl   &ctrlList = GetListCtrl();
 
    pCmdUI->Enable(ctrlList.GetNextItem(-1, LVIS_SELECTED) != -1);	
}

What this does is disable the "Delete" menu item if no items in the list view have been selected.

the menu item is only visible when you display the menu, and this is when the ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI.

if you have toolbars with the same ID, the ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI will be called eventually, and the button will be enable ( or disable ) at that time.

in your "other" function, you will need to set a class variable that will indicate if the menu ( or toolbar item ) will be enable or not; and processed in the ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handler.
