Are either of these what you are looking for:
GetLogicalDriveStrings()
GetLogicalDrives()
GetVolumeInformation()
FindFirstVolume()

Thanks for your reply,
However, what I need is the location of each volume. For example, what is the starting offset and length of the volumn C: and, of course, which physical disk this volume belongs to. In other words, I want a similar function (works in WinNT 4.0) with IOCTL_VOLUME_GET_VOLUME_DISK_EXTENTS, which does not work under Windows NT 4.0
I think the approach to key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DISK\Information is correct. But the content of this REG_BIN value is still unknown.
Best regards.

Except that that key does not always exist. The two machines on my desk do not have that key.

Dear all,
I cannot quite understand the logic behind the notion of operator overloading.
I understand that creating a class, is like creating a new type, therefore we can overload some operators to work with that new type. For example:
Ratio& Ratio::operator=(const Ratio& r)
{
num = r.num;
den = r.den;
return *this;
} This example is absolutely comprehensible but I cannot understand how I have to think, visualize the things in order to implement operator overloading in the *, *= operator, or in the == for instance.
Consider the Ratio class as the following:
class Ratio
{
friend Ratio& operator*(const Ratio& x, const Ratio y);
public:
Ratio(int =0, int =1);
Ratio& operator=(const Ratio&);
Ratio& operator*=(const Ratio&);
private:
int num, den;
};
Here is the understanding problem:
Ratio operator*(const Ratio& x, const Ratio& y)
{
Ratio z(x.num*y.num, x.den*y.den);
return z;
}
Is this the only way to overload that operator in this example? How one has to think in order to writew the above code? What are the steps involved in order to write the above two lines of code? And secondly in the first example (operator=) the return type is a reference to the Ratio but in the second is not a reference. Why is not a reference. When should we use a reference and when not?
Please bare in mind that I understand the use of friend functions.
Thanks in advance for the help,

I have about 50 int variables in my form to initialize. The variables are different only in the last 2 numbers. How can I concat the strings to hold int data types so that I wouldn't have to write out all 50 variables. I'm able to do this in ASP but not sure how to do it in C++.
CString str1 = "m_var";
CString str2;
for (int i=1; i <= 50; i++)
{
char num[10];
itoa(i,num,10);
str2 = str1 + num;
//need str2 to hold an int value
}
|
|
|
|
|
CString str;
str.Format("%i", int_nr);
//str will now be equal to int_nr even if str had another value
good luck.

If I understand your question correctly, I can only offer this:
struct
{
int m_var1;
int m_var2;
int m_var3;
int m_var4;
int m_var5;
int m_var6;
int m_var7;
int m_var8;
int m_var9;
int m_var10;
} m_vars;
int *pVar = &m_vars.m_var1;
for (int x = 0; x < sizeof(m_vars) / sizeof(int); x++)
{
*pVar = 1;
pVar++;
}

I'd like to customize the CFileDialog to add some extra controls to the bottom of it. When the dialog first opens, I'd only like one of the extra controls to be displayed. When the user selects this control (a check box), then I'd like the dialog to expand to show the rest of the controls.
I am using the explorer style CFileDialog with a custom template. If I place all of the extra controls on the custom template, the size of the CFileDialog is extended to include all of these controls (even if they are not visible). So I get the CFileDialog w/ a bunch of extra gray space at the bottom of it.
I thought that I could make the invisible controls very small in the custom template to minimize this extra gray space. Then when they need to be seen, I'd resize the CFileDialog and the controls and set the controls visible. The problem is that whenever I change the size of the CFileDialog by calling SetWindowPos(), the original CFileDialog controls resize to fill up the extra space, leaving no extra room for my new controls. 
Does anyone know how to customize the CFileDialog to allow for collapse/expand at the bottom of the dialog? If so, I could really use some suggestions. Thanks!

Hi,
I needed help with resizing a CStatic box to fit exactly the size of the text inside. The thing is once I increase the font size, I cant get the exact dimensions from GetTextExtent(). I've tried to multiply it with a ration, but no luck. It doesnt fit on it. Is there any function out there that can do this for me or any help on what would be a good way to do it. Help Needed ASAP.

GetTextExtent has always worked for me. Show your code and maybe we can help.

I was just testing to see what font is currently stored in CDC object and it turns out that it is totally different from the font of the window. Why is that? and how do I change the font of CDC object as there is no setFont function there.
the code is below:
//set the font of the window text
CWnd* pCtrlWnd = GetDlgItem(id);
CFont * oldFont = pCtrlWnd->GetFont();
LOGFONT* pLogFont = new LOGFONT;
oldFont->GetLogFont(pLogFont);
CString fontName = pLogFont->lfFaceName;
CFont * font = new CFont;
font->CreateFont(newFontSize,0,0,0,700,0,0,0,DEFAULT_CHARSET,OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS, CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS,DEFAULT_QUALITY, DEFAULT_PITCH|FF_DONTCARE, fontName);
//get the draw context of window
pCtrlWnd->SetFont(font);
//resize the window
CDC* pDC = pCtrlWnd->GetDC();
CString text;
pCtrlWnd->GetWindowText(text);
//get the textExtent
CSize stringSize = pDC->GetTextExtent(text);
pCtrlWnd->SetWindowPos(NULL, 0, 0, stringSize.cx * 1.4 , stringSize.cy * 1.45, SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOZORDER|SWP_NOREPOSITION);
}

SelectObject() will do that for you.
I see several problems with the code you supplied. The most obvious being the severe potential for memory leaks. See http://www.codeproject.com/gdi/drawtechniques.asp[^]. You might also want to make your font a member variable of your static control's parent window.
CDC* pDC = pCtrlWnd->GetDC();
CString text;
pCtrlWnd->GetWindowText(text);
CFont *pOld = pDC->SelectObject(font);
CSize stringsize = pDC->GetTextExtent(text);
pDC->SelectObject(pOld);
...

Hai,
I'm opening a serial port COM1 as follows..
static LPTSTR portname = "\\\\.\\COM1\0";
HANDLE hComPort = CreateFile( portname, GENERIC_READ |GENERIC_WRITE, //bidirectional
0, NULL, //no security OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL );
if (hComPort == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
sprintf(errstr,"Could not open file (error %d)\n", GetLastError());
MsgBox(errstr);
}
But it is giving me ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE..
What did I miss...pls help..
thanks a lot.

Is COM1 in use by any other processes?

I don't think so...I have a controller connected to the com1..i'm trying to send data to the controller..
but how can i find whether any other process is using com1??
thanks a lot.

changing icon of an exe file by peplacing icon resource inside the exe file.
It is easy if using UpdateResource().
but my users use all OS including win95 and win98.
the program using UpdateResource() will not work on win95/98 because the function is not supportted on 95/98.
do you have idea to implement the task?
thx

Check Erik Kallen's article Updating Resources on Win9x[^], which provides a replacement for UpdateResource and familiy in Win9x systems. I've used this library in the past and it works like a charm.

I have a database program that I am working on that uses CString for a description of a product, is there anyway to get more than the 256 charecters or do I have to use a diffrent type of string?
|
|
|
|
|
CString has no size limit, other than available memory. Something else is creating the 256-char limit.
