Hi,
I want to calculate the used disk space for a particular folder or the given path. In my knowledge two API's avilable in VC++.
1. GetDiskFreeSpaceEx
2. using LPWIN32_FIND_DATA (FindFirstFile, FindNextFile)
if we use GetDiskFreeSpaceEx, it gives the root directory space only.
Suppose i want to calculate the used space in F:\xx\yy\zz means i have to use
recursive search for all the subfolders using FindFirstFile, FindNextFile and calculate the used space using LPWIN32_FIND_DATA structure. It takes more time.
Is there any other option avilable to get the directory space immediately.
Like Any Folder -> Right click -> Properties --- The windows give quick result. Windows also using some searching concept but they done quickly, I think they updated the information every time somewhere it may be registry or Shell.
Is anybody having any idea about ... plz write...........
Your valuable suggestions are always welcome ......
Regards,
inbha.

Actually it reports the size of the volume.

True.

None to my knowledge.

Depending on the number of files and folders encountered, it can take several seconds and you can see the numbers incrementing as it goes.

I want to do something similar to Windows 2k's "Search for Files and Folders". Anybody know how it's done? Is it done with CScrollView with CEdit/CButton? How would I go about give CEdit box a 3d look? And get CButton to run?

If you are looking to get the exact types of controls used, use Spy++. Otherwise, you'll need to create and register your own search handler.

Hello,
I am trying to use CBitmapButton with four bitmaps but it is not working. The button shows up, but not the bitmaps. When I set the control's style to BS_OWNERDRAW as it has been suggested then the bitmaps still don't show..but also what used to be the button now becomes a flat grey area on the screen. I have also tried BS_OWNERDRAWN without and without BS_PUSHBUTTON and no luck.
CWnd* parent = CWnd::FromHandle(this->m_hWnd);<br />
BOOL success = m_BitmapButton.Create(("Play Section"), <br />
WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|BS_PUSHBUTTON|BS_OWNERDRAW,<br />
CRect(10,10,44,44), parent, 1);<br />
success = m_BitmapButton.LoadBitmaps(IDB_PLAYSECTIONU, IDB_PLAYSECTIOND, IDB_PLAYSECTIONF, IDB_PLAYSECTIONX);
Another even more important question is, why does CBitmapbutton need to be ownerdrawn? isn't the whole idea that I give the control four bitmaps and it takes care of applying the appropriate one according to wether the mouse moves over it, presses it etc?
Thanks
Aristotel

The standard Windows button supports only one bitmap, which is displayed instead of the text on a regular button. To support four bitmaps, CBitmapButton uses owner-draw so it can display all four bitmaps and prevent Windows from drawing the standard button shape.

Hi Ryan...
I managed to track down CBitmapButton::DrawItem() and look at its code inside. So at least now I don't have to worry about taking care of the actual bitmap selection and drawing depending on the state.
I did however notice that that function never gets called. Setting breakpoints shows that it never gets called.
Thanks,
Aristotel

I'm trying to find out if it's possible, and if so, what's the best way of writing a C++ DLL to start a thread from a VB6 app? The VB6 app has a GetMail() routine that it does, but it hangs up the rest of the app while it's processing. I'd like to make a dll that I can send the GetMail() routine, then create some type of global variable in VB that the dll can access to let the VB app know when the thread is finished processing so that the user can't close the app before it's done processing. Any starts or links? Is this even possible?

Have you tried RegEnumKey?

i++;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}
i dont understand why is dwValue ignored and dont output just RegSZ... It echo non exist values oO

Read the MSDN article on RegEnumValue[^] carefully. Pay attention to which parameters are labeled [in] as they have to have valid data before the call, and which are labeled [out] as the data in those will be changed by the function call. Also make sure your buffers are large enough to recieve the data. read the comments at the bottom of the article for information on how to get the required buffer sizes.

Hello, I have a MDI type app where one of my views was derived from CView and then converted into CRichEditView...
Anyway everything works fine except I want to turn horizontal scrolling on and I would like to disable word wrapping. I have tried to change the window styles in PreCreateWindow but this doesn't seem to have any effect on horizontal scrolling. Any ideas? Has anyone had similar experiences?
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Forum,
how can i calculate a time difference between 2 files, my problem:
when i want to create a new task, i check first the starttime of the existing task and i want to have min. 2 hours space between a starttime of a existing task and the new one!
Existing Task gives me starttime in SYSTEMTIME variables return and i convert this in COleDateTime variables, and the new time come out a CTimeControl so i want to check the time difference between SYSTEMTIME or COleDateTime variables and CTimeControl, is there a function to calculate a time difference between this two?
thanks

The easiest way is to convert everything to FILETIME, which is a 64-bit number. Comparing and making time spans is then really easy since you just add or subtract.

Hi, i can't convert to FILETIME, i got an Error?
FILETIME newTime = nTime; // nTime is a COleDateTime Variable!'initializing' cannot convert from 'class COleDateTime' to 'struct _FILETIME'
FILETIME oldTime = oTime; // oTime is a COleDateTime Variable!'initializing' cannot convert from 'class COleDateTime' to 'struct _FILETIME'
With typecast a got an error to!
FILETIME newTime = (FILETIME)nTime;//'type cast' : cannot convert from 'class COleDateTime' to 'struct _FILETIME'
 
thx

Have you looked into COleDateTimeSpan?

In a application,
If the user is not an administrator, the user will have to enter a administrator username and password to have acccess to some additionnal informations.
(not using the runas and not using the .net framework)
How could I do this
Thanks in advance for your help.

Create a modal dialog with two edit controls: one for the username and the other for the password.

This question is not for creating edit controls. This question is to know about Windows credientials. Windows users.
May be the answer reside in Microsoft security tokens.
thanks for replying either.

It could have been interpreted any any number of ways. You stated that "...the user will have to enter a administrator username and password to have acccess to some additionnal informations." followed by the question "How could I do this?" My answer was simply how to allow the user to enter such information.
