the file is written in unicode. in unicode, each "character" is actually coded on 2 single bytes, so mainly, if it contains common occidental characters, their char code is within 0 to 255, which causes the 2nd byte to be 0.

It sounds like the file is written using the 16-bit character set (UNICODE). Use the wide versions of read functions and objects (wstring, wifstream, etc).

Problem with conversion from VC6...

Hello,

I have imported a VC6 project into Visual Studio 2005 and have a question. When looking at the dialogs in the dialog editor pane, they look fine--with the current style of buttons and such. But, when I execute the app, the buttons are rendering the older Windows style instead of the current version.

I created a new app just to see if I could duplicate the problem and i could not. This seems to have something to do with the import.

Does the import/conversion process not update the rendering to the latest styles?

Thanks!

Minimum Window Size

I've looked through articles and in the forums but wasn't able to find what I needed. I'm trying to find a way to control the minimum size of the main/parent window so the user can't make it too small for the toolbar. I know there is a way to do it but for the live of me I can't find where to put the code. I created my initial code using MS Visual Studio MFC wizard so I have the standard classes. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bubba

Try with this

WINDOWPLACEMENT WndpObj;
WndpObj.ptMinPosition = CPoint( 25, 25 );
Fill other parameters. refer http://msdn2.microsoft.com/ko-kr/library/kb89946z.aspx[^]
then call
SetWindowPlacement( &WndpObj );

You'll need to make sure the listbox has the LBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED style.

You may also need to handle the following messages:

WM_COMPAREITEM (only if the LBS_SORT style was used)
WM_DELETEITEM
WM_DRAWITEM
WM_MEASUREITEM

Check out the API calls FindFirstPrinterChangeNotification, FindnextPrinterChangeNotification etc.

AFAIK, I believe that is not the right API to accomplish that

FindFirstPrinterChangeNotification[^] ... you can use this to be notified when a job is printed and if you set the PRINTER_NOTIFY_OPTIONS[^] appropriately it will tell you the document name, pages printed, date submitted and if any errors occured etc.

You mean after they have been printed? I am not aware of such information being retained by Windows.

Unless you have the "keep printed documents" checkbox checked.
