It works!! Thank you so much for a complete and effective answer. I did not know how to get a pointer or handle to my current window.
Now one more question, is there a way to keep my window in focus or active after starting Excel. When Excel starts Excel has the focus or is the active window, I would like my window to stay in focus or active.
Thanks again

I've no pretty way for this.
pYourWnd->SetParent(pExcelWnd);
And this should happen when either your application or Excel starts.
To much to say.

Hi Gurus,
Is there any windows API or struct from which I can come to know whether day light saving is currently on/off?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
I'm coding huffman and have a doubt.I'm writing the preorder version of my huffman tree in term of 0's and 1's as the header of my encoded file.How do I know when my header ended and my encoded data started?

A binary tree whose leaves are the given characters of the file can do this.

First four bytes of the header -> size of header

The error means CxImage::Startup is defined in multiple files. You must eliminate one of the (redundant) definitions.

This[^] may help.
use #pragma once if you're using visual studio or another compiler that supports it, and inclusion guards if you aren't like so;
#ifdef YOUR_SYMBOL<br />
#define YOUR_SYMBOL<br />
<br />
<br />
#endif<br />
Using both at the same time doesn't hurt one bit.
|
|
|
|
|
First, why don't you reply to the original poster ?
Second, this won't help because these include guards are used by the compiler and the OP has a linker error, not a compile error.

1) My answer was intended as an extension to yours.
2) From the article I linked:
Potential Pitfalls:
...
4) Duplicate instances of objects within the code that compiled fine. This is a linking error, often difficult to understand. (In MSVC, you might see something like "error LNK2005: "int myGlobal" (?myGlobal@@3HA) already defined in myotherfile.obj".)
...
If you read the article properly (or at all, if you didn't already) then you will see that this was a perfectly good suggestion.

Hi, you should use a meaningful title for your post (see forum guidelines)

Hi,
using C++ (and MFC) I would like to develop an application that is able to create *.exe executable files. (An example for that would be e.g. creating a self extracting executable zip file.)
Has anyone an idea how to proceed? Are there any examples or articles about that problem in the code project or elsewhere? (I did not find anything  )
Thanks.
Joe

It's not all that hard to use CreateFile to make a file that just happens to end in exe, the hard bit is where is the file's contents going to come from?
You could save an exe as a binary resource in your starter app, then simply save it out.
If you search for FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE on msdn you should find some articles on exe's that even tidy up after themselves when they finish executing.
(I'm assuming you're not writing a compiler).
Iain.

To create an executable you need a set of tools, traditionally (for C based languages) a compiler to turn your chosen language into the machine language or assembly language of the target, a linker to link together compilation modules and possibly an assembler to turn the targets assembly language into its machine language. All of these can be written using C++ (and MFC although it won't be that much use outside the GUI). In fact MSVC is written using the previous version of MSVC. To write a compiler from scratch you're going to need to know a lot of things, LALR1 grammar/parser theory to start with and potentially a lot of arcane stuff about branch prediction and tree based optimisation. If you're up for all this you could start with Yac & Lex ( or Bison & Flex on Windows ) as example code for generating a language parser. You could download and examine the sources of projects like GCC ( GNU Compiler Collection ) and doxygen ( a C++ etc documentation engine ). Many people have trodden this path before you so there's a lot of rubble to examine. Most either end up writing their own assembler, developing a scripting language Perl, Python, etc, etc or much for usually just use an existing tool to achieve your specification. You could for example adapt one of the GCC compilers to your own use/lanaguage and build it into your product ( You'll have to contribute your changes back to the community of course )

If you are looking to create a self extracting archive executable, then have a look at the LZMA sdk[^].
If you want to be able to generally create executables, Matthew Faithfull's reply is excellent!

Based on an existing *.exe file, where only resources (e.g. included bitmap resources, icons,...) should be changed.
|
|
|

You could consider using one or more resource only DLLs instead of using the resources in the exe itself. If the exe is your own code then modifying it to load an external resource dll and use those resources instead should not be too much work. If it isn't then you arguably shouldn't be messing with it in the first place. If you must then there are tools available to rip and replace the resources out of a PE ( Microsoft's Portable Executable format ) binary. Google or Dogpile would be good places to start looking. If you're going to do this then watch out for subtle, or even custom, bitmap formats and other tweaks which the executables code might rely on to render things right. Initially I'd keep everything the same size, i.e. same size bitmaps and same number of bytes in each resource wherever you can.

I have a CListCtrl control and a child dialog on the parent dialog. When I click on an item in the list, I display the detials of the selcted item in the child dialog.
Now I would like to do the same when I press arrow and page down/up keys.
I'm currently using LVN_KEYDOWN message. The problem is that when I go from item no 0 to item no 1, the selected index change is not seen by the LVN_KEYDOWN (so in the message handler, the selected item will be 0 instead of 1).
One thing more My CListCtrl control is also getting updated after every 8 seconds and by default one item is always selected that is why I am not able to use LVN_ITEMCHANGED.
Please tell me how to achieve this.
Thanks In advance.

You should be able to use LVN_ITEMCHANGED. It should not matter that the control is being automatically updated.
