if you have many 'Program files' folders in several hard disks, only one is owned by the system (because the other have been made by you - or a user). so, if the system is installed on C:, ShGetFolderPath() will return only that one...
understand ?

actually, thats my question too. Does the system own the Program Files folder? I thought it is the applications that get installed create this folder, and you can chose to install it in D:\Program Files. And the system installation also installs a few applications, thats why that folder will be there.
Anyways, C:\Windows, C:\Program Files and C:\Documents and Settings are the only ones the system creates, right? can any user's home directory be configured on a different drive than the system drive?

yes, but it own only the one it created during its installation.

certainly ! right click on a "My Documents" icon (on the desktop for example) and see the change target into the target property tab...
but i don't know how to do this programmatically...

Hi,
I have to get the Fully qualified name of my machine. I am using the function gethostbyname, hostent -> h_name attibute for the fully qualified name.
My problem is,
I can modify the "Primary DNS Suffix" value of my machine. The function gethostbyname returns me "MyMachineName.Primary DNS Suffix Value", if the Primary DNS Suffix given is invalid also. All the other settings(eg. DNS Server) are perfect.
My Question is,
How can i get the Valid FQDN? Or i have to do something to validate it?
Thanks

If it is to maximize the dialog, you can use ShowWindow(SW_MAXIMIZE);

To set the Dialog Box size at Runtime you can use MoveWindow or SetWindowPos Api's

For instance, RGB(255,0,0), how can I display it in different luminance?
Thanks.
|

When you do, it won't be 255, 0, 0. You need to convert to HSL, increase the luminance, then go back to RGB.

Hi friends,
Can anyone suggest tips or tools or tutorials for improve perfomance for old Visual C++ projects ?
My company maintains a lot of Visual C++ projects of our customers. Our customer gives C++ projects of about 2-5 years old and request us to improve perfomance.
If anyone worked for such kind of maintanence projects which includes perfomance tuning, please help us by your valuable tips. 
Thanks & Regards,
Jijo.

I offer this tongue-in-cheek:
When you initially create a project, lace it with gratuitous sleep and delay-type code. Then when the customer asks that its performance be increased, simply remove the extraneous code and voila...you delivered a faster product and the customer thinks you killed a bear!

It's hard to point to general techniques to improve performance in abstract.
As vague as it sounds, I'd say you first need to identify which are the parts of the program in which you find it slow to respond, and then visually inspect the code and make some profiling, looking for opportunities to improve.
Maybe if you posted about some concrete thing you want to optimize...

Dear Lamas,
Thank you for your reply. Actually that project is a mission critical backend application running in an ultrasound scanner product. Its build up on some alreay running frameworks. It uses a custom database. So no hope in optimizing those areas.
But the application is performing some communication by using winsock. So if you can comment on network communication optimization it will be helpful for me.
Regards,
Jijo.

Hi,
How do you build a project/Solution using the makefile of the project in VS.NET 2003?
For example, I have a sample that I'm trying to build form the DirectX SDK. Unfortunately there is no DSP, DSW, or SLN files given for the project. However all the .cpp and .h are there as well as the makefile for the project. How do I create a .VCPROJ or .SLN file for this projet ?

hi, all
does anybody know when should be release the auto pointer? thanks!
m_pdbf = std::auto_ptr<cb_dbf_ntx>( new CBNoMessageBox_DBF_NTX( pszFileName ) );
|

|

That's not the way to use a std::auto_ptr. Do like this:
std::auto_ptr<CBNoMessageBox_DBF_NTX> msgbox(new CBNoMessageBox_DBF_NTX(pszFileName));
msgbox->SomeMemberFunctionOfCBNoMessageBox_DBF_NTX();
valerie99 wrote:

Normally - never, since the allocated memory is deleted by std::auto_ptr at scope exit. But if you must, then std::auto_ptr<>::release() is your friend.

There can be a good reason for this. Suppose the auto_ptr was declared as a class member and not initialized in the constructor of the class. I have done this from time to time.

The autopointer deletes its associated object when it goes out of scope automatically. To destroy it sooner, call reset().

Hey everyone. I am trying to find a method that will tell me (in an MFC Application) what the last modified time of a folder is. I can get this information fine for a file using CFile's status method, but unfortunately it does not work for folders. Any help would be really appreciated.
