Hi-

What are the rules of MAPI programming when it comes to allocation and deallocation of memory?

Should I delete everything I allocate and everything they give me?

Have you looked on this site?
http://www.codeproject.com/docview/#Form+Views[^]

Basically you need to create either an SDI or MDI application with CFormView derived view class. To add forms use the dialog resource editor and insert an IDD_FORMVIEW dialog resource. This is a child window derived from the CDialog class which is then displayed in the CFormView. In either the CMainFrame class or the CDocument class you can add a view switching handler to change from one form view to an other.

Hi there,

I want to create a simple cpp file in VC++ 6.0 then compile it using the cl command in the command prompt but I don't know what are the steps that I should do to achieve that.

What's the command prompt that I should open and how?

My target is to write:
cl filename.cpp

Can someone please help me out?

Thanks...

Cheers,

Capturing from a hidden webbrowser

I have an app that I want to capture images of webpages from a hidden webbrowser. An example of this is an application at www.rabidsoft.net called CaptureIT. Win32 or .net is fine for the solution if anyone has any information.

Problem about output files

Hi all

I have a code that runs a simulation producing numeric outputs of a time series multiple times. I don't know in advance how long is the series or how many times the simulation will run (defined by user at run time). I would like to have the program to write the results out to a file in one column per simulation run instead of a single column where the result of each simulation is separated by some marker.

The code to write the output in one column would be something like this:

<code>ofstream WriteOutput(OutputData.out,ios::app)
for(sim=1; sim<=nsims; sim++)
{
for(t=1; t<=n; t++)
{
y=f(x[t]);
WriteOutput >> y >> endl;
if(t==n) WriteOutput >> "#" >> endl;
}
}</code>

This produces an output like this:

3
4
5
6
#
4
5
6
7
#

Instead, I'd like a code to write an output such as:

3 4
4 5
5 6
6 7

How can I do this?

Thanks!

C.

Yeah that works... I was wondering if there was a direct way to format the output in columns.

Thanks!

Can you explain? Portability? How do you use SetConsoleCursurPosition? I'm writing to a file not sending out to console.

Thanks

the endl that you are outputting after every number is what causes the newline to be output. Just control when you output an endl.

How to set the initial directory of the CFileDialog to be 'My Computer'?

Cyrus Dang15-Dec-05 9:23

15-Dec-05 9:23

Hi,

So far, I did it by setting the initial dir to be C:\ and then sending a virtual click to "Up One Level" button. Do we have any better ways to do that? I think it should have some special string so that CFileDialog could understand and start the dialog with "My Computer" as its initial directory. Unfortunately, I've not found it yet! Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

CFileDialog f(TRUE);
f.m_ofn.lpstrInitialDir = L"::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}";
f.DoModal();

I truly appreciate your help.

Another thing I wonder is that whether this is documented by Microsoft. I'm testing it on previous version of Windows (NT, 9x). Will it be changed in the future?

Thanks so much.

That CLSID has resolved to 'My Computer' since Windows 95. I see no reason for it to change in the future.

Question on SOAP with Attachments/DIME/Web Services

Anaxarchos15-Dec-05 7:54

15-Dec-05 7:54

I am developing a web service application using ASP.NET and the MS WSE (Web Service Enhancements). On the server side, there is an asmx file running on IIS wich is able to recieve a SOAP message with a DIME attachment (e.g. an *.gif).
Now I am developing a client that can send those messages with a DIME attachment.
Here's the basic method I am trying to implement:

// ***********
SoapContext *reqC = RequestSoapContext::Current;
DimeAttachment *dimeAttach = new DimeAttachment(
"image/gif", TypeFormat::MediaType,
"C:\\temp\\IMG_3621.jpg");

reqC->Attachments->Add(dimeAttach); //System.NullReferenceException???
// ************

When I am trying to build the programme, the process breaks with an exception, claiming there was a "System.NullReferenceException" (Object reference not set to an instance of an object)in the last line of code posted above.
What does that mean?
The above method is taken from a MSDN example wich is also quoted here on codeproject.com (http://www.codeproject.com/soap/DimeTest.asp). In the examples it is used as a server method (the server sends a SOAP message with a DIME attachment on client request), but I need it as a client method so I changed the SoapContext into a "RequestSoapContext" instead of a "ResponseSoapContext".
I did include all the necessary namespaces and headers, the compiler accepts all commands without throwing any errors, the error appears during build/debug.
The examples are in C# but I am not familiar with it so I need to be doing it in C++.

Thank you in advance for any hints!

P.S: I am not a native english speaker- please excuse my faults.

CFileDialog allows bad filenames

Hi,

I'm using CFileDialog and have setup the extensions etc and it seems to work correctly.
The only problem is that if a type a non existent filename into the filename text box and select open CFileDialog exits (DoModal returns IDOK).

Surely I don't have to check that the file from calling GetPathName() exists?

Cheers,
Ally

do you need a visual feedback ?

Toolbar buttons are COMMANDS, so , you could ( never tried it ) do a SendMessage with the appropriate command ID.
