I got myself into a dilemma. I started a C++ project using MFC. Later I extended the application to interface to a C# dll.
According to Microsoft docs, my C# DLL will only be able to access HTML help. However my application can only use WinHelp, because that is the way I originally built it. I would like to use the same help application for both. I have not been able to find any documentation on how I could modify my MFC application to use HTML help. If anyone has any suggestions or could point me in the right direction I would be most thankful.

Hi,
I have uninstalled VC++ express edition 2005 and back to VC++ 6.0 .
I wanted to get back to some projects and enhance some points as well as some complementary requests.
However, now with Visual C++ 6.0 , I cannot have the extension *.dsp, only *.dsw !!
How can I get back properly to VC++ 6.0 ?
Thanks a lot,
Regards
TPP

Right click on a dsp file, choose 'open with' and check 'always use this program' ( obviously select VC6 )

Thanks, but in fact, it is with VC++ express edition 2005, which is cancelled by now, and all my projects are in VC++ 6.0.
I do not think that the concept of VC++ express edition 2005 follows the framework of VC++7.0.
But if you have experienced, that is pretty good to know!!!!!!
Otherwise, the question remains, how to get back *.dsp files while working back with VC++ 6.0?
Regards
and thanks!

Hi again
I have various classes that I use fairly regularly (mainly to do with souncards). I was wondering whether it is worth while generating a dll with the classes.
What are the advantages of using dlls over just including the classes within my application (other than the exe will be smaller)?
Also, can you use threads in dlls as well (I am new to threads as well!)
Thanks for (yet more) help!
Mike

Hi Mike,
Well, I have no idea about the dll thing. Since you talked about something related to soundcard, have you tried "The Synthesis ToolKit in C++ (STK)" library before? You can download it from:
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/stk/[^]
I don't know whether it fit your application, but for mine, it just perfect.
Regards,
Chris

Well one of the advantages is that with a DLL you can just add the library to your project and include the corresponding header file and then you are able to access the functionality in that DLL. It seems annoying to constantly copy the same header+implementation file to you project.

If you use them in a lot of your applications, it's worth making DLLs. If you don't, then no, it's not.
There are "trade-offs", but there are no real advantages unless a LOT/all of your apps use those DLLs.
Yes, you can use threads in DLLs.

Hi;
for (int i=0; i<21; i++)
cout << i<<" " ;
return 0;
My question is how can I get the outputs in bold form?

I haven't used it myself but you may want to check out the SetConsoleTextAttribute API.

Em... I tried this approach. It works! I learn a new skill from you.
Thank you, Steve.
Thanks to the person who post this question too.

Hello community!
I've recently taken on a new task of rewritting an old control panel (originally written w/ Borland). The basic idea is to do the following:
-Read control settings from a database
-Dynamically create multiple forms based on the database
-Dynamically populate multiple controls on the forms
-Changes/updates to the control are taken from RAM on a PCI device.
-Beyond manipulating controls, I have to communicate some data over RS232 and Ethernet (basically, I need to write a terminal program).
The task seems simple, but I'm a programmer from a more embedded/unix world. My experience in VC only goes as far as the extent of one of those "Learn VC in 21 days" type books.
The main difficulty I'm having right now, is overcoming the learning curve to the MFC. Since my application is primarily form based, it would seem logical to use a simple Dialogs Application - however, I've been toying with the idea of using the Doc/View architecture with multiple CFormViews. I can see some benefit of using the MDI interface and binding each of the my control panels to a seperate CDocument. I would, however, need to instantiate each of these CDocuments and CFormViews dynamically, as their properties/content depend entirely upon the database.
Any insight you could provide to help me choose an architecture and get me started along the right direction is appreciated.
Thanks!

Dear All,
how can I get a pointer to DC (that is associated with the View):-> from the document class? I need a pointer to DC to do some manipulation... I am using:
CDC *pDC = AfxGetMainWnd()->GetDC();<br />
....<br />
....<br />
AfxGetMainWnd()->ReleaseDC();
but it's not working as expected...

You can use CDocument::GetFirstViewPosition / GetNextView to get the view windows. Then, as CView inherits from CWnd, you can use CWnd::GetDC to get the view's DC.
If you are in a SDI app, you can get the view straight away. In am MDI view, you potentially need to iterate ythrough them.
Another alternative, is to us CDocument::UpdateAllView (...) with a custom lParam, and let the views draw on themselves. A CDocument is supposed to have no idea about how its data is displayed - thats the point of separating them!

Yup! but we break the rules sometimes! 
Actually, I just need a refrence to a DC (the View's DC) to set some parameters, I am not doing any drawing...

Hi guys i want to save a file from a dialog box. II have my save dialog and all but when i save a file, i get only a blank file. is it bcoz of the CREATE_NEW attribute of the createFile method??? how do i save data in that file
please help
|
|
|
|
|
what other actions do you take to save the data?
|
|
|
|
|
what dialog box ? a CFileDialog dialog ?
When you create the file with CreateFile, you write something in it ? or you simply create it and hope that something will put data in the file ?

Make sure you set the CREATE and/or WRITE flag(s) before you write something to that file. If you need a Save Dialog I recomend you Davide Calabro's CFileDialogST[^] Good luck!

Hello all.
I'm trying to get the source-code from the active text-editor window on the VS IDE.
I'm using the COM interface as follows:
<br />
CComPtr<EnvDTE::Document> ADocument;<br />
m_pDTE->get_ActiveDocument(&ADocument);
But what's next ? EnvDTE::Document does not contain any methods for text retrieval.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,
I have a Win32/windowless/GUI-less/MFC-less application that currently sends a bit of data through HTTP via winsock.
Essentially, in some buffer, I format the standard HTTP headers in plain text, then the actual data to send, then send the whole thing via winsock, and close the connection. Relatively straightforward.
Now I've been asked to replace this so the program uses HTTPS instead, and to do this I have been provided with nothing more than a link to W3MFC[^], whose goal I suspect was not fully understood by The Powers That Be (who sent me the link).
My understanding of this library is that it essentially derives some classes from MFC's CSocket, and requires the library from OpenSSL.org, to implement some wrapper around all of this.
I'm not allowed to rely on MFC, as my final EXE must remain as small as possible--statically linking is not acceptable, and I don't have the luxury either of being able to rely on an external DLL that may or may not be there. It's just "gotta run" on anything from Win95 onward. This EXE's been in production for nearly 6 years.
So much for this library. I've started looking at OpenSSL itself.
On the server side, .NET is already being used to implement the site itself, provide access to a database, etc. I'm not familiar (yet) with .NET, and can only assume .NET already has some library (built in?) that can handle HTTPS clients...Either way, I'm not the one who's going to implement the server, but I can only assume an SSL server can handle any SSL client, provided the syntax is correct (just like any web server can handle any web browser, provided the requests adhere to the HTTP standard)...
Given the requirements above and this nebulous idea of "replacing HTTP with HTTPS"--where do I even start?

I recently had to add SSL support to a custom mail client of mine, and though this is an MFC app, I was using an old socket class in plain vanilla C++. In the end I used the MS SSPI library, but this probably won't work on Win9x unfortunately, so is probably of little use to you. I found some sample ATL code that used SSPI with a raw socket, which made life easier. I don't think HTTPS will be that different from POP/SMTP TLS/SSL, except you have to worry about certificates, etc.

> In the end I used the MS SSPI library, but this probably won't work on Win9x unfortunately
Well, to be honest, Win9x support is getting to be more of a "nice to have" feature at this point as there aren't too many 9x-based machines out there--we may be able to get away with telling our 9x customers that SSL will be for NT+ only.
I'll definitely look into MS's SSPI; in the meantime, if you could forward any relevant link or sample, that would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
PS - anybody has experience with OpenSSL? Am I wasting my time even looking at that?
