Are you using common controls version 6? If so, then the tab control no longer supports the left/right styles.

Really? Is this because of the "This style is not supported if you use visual styles"
restriction?

Yes, that's what "This style is not supported if you use visual styles" means - that style bit gets ignored when you use common controls v6.

 Never mind - I see it under TCS_BOTTOM, which is the first place I'd look if I wanted
tabs on the right 
Thanks for the heads-up!

Hi all,
I'm looking for a more intellegent way to get data from a file and manage that data. For instance lets say i have a file with the following data in it:
[Category A]
filename = file1.txt
fileExtension = txt
[Category B]
ipAddress = 192.168.0.1
portNumber = 101
So how can I access only the parts within the file that is useful??  , without hardcoding anything.
Many Thanx

What about using XML ?
Another solution would be to use a class that parses INI files (that is, files that have the same structure as your). I think there are some such classes on this website.

Thank you Cedric...

Yes of course. Take a look here[^] for example (there are some other, just do a search in the articles in the MFC/C++ category).

This is the format of a .ini file. Use functions like GetPrivateProfileString().

Hello
on visual c++ 6
my pb is:
when I create a std::map in an exe and pass it to a object's method in a DLL, I can't access to the elements of the map (it crashs after the first access).
You can try this minimal code illustrating that.
the code: a main.cpp file: the "application".
dll.h and dll.cpp : the dll with the object's method:
main.cpp___________________________
#pragma warning( disable: 4786 )<br />
<br />
#include <map><br />
#include <iostream><br />
#include <string><br />
#include "dll.h"<br />
<br />
int main ()<br />
{<br />
std::map<const std::string, std::string> l_map;<br />
std::map<const std::string, std::string>::iterator it;<br />
int i;<br />
<br />
l_map["1"] = "2";<br />
l_map["3"] = "4";<br />
l_map["5"] = "6";<br />
<br />
for (it = l_map.begin(); it != l_map.end(); it++)<br />
{<br />
std::cout << (*it).first << ": " << (*it).second << "\n";<br />
}<br />
<br />
CDll obj;<br />
obj.f(l_map);<br />
<br />
std::cin >> i;<br />
return 0;<br />
}
dll.h________________________________________
#pragma warning( disable: 4786 )<br />
<br />
#include <map><br />
#include <iostream><br />
#include <string><br />
<br />
#ifdef DLL_EXPORTS<br />
#define DLL_API __declspec(dllexport)<br />
#else<br />
#define DLL_API __declspec(dllimport)<br />
#endif<br />
<br />
class DLL_API CDll<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
void f(std::map<const std::string, std::string>& p_map);<br />
};<br />
dll.cpp________________________
<br />
#include "dll.h"<br />
<br />
void CDll::f(std::map<const std::string, std::string>& p_map)<br />
{<br />
std::map<const std::string, std::string>::iterator it;<br />
<br />
for (it = p_map.begin(); it != p_map.end(); it++)<br />
{<br />
std::cout << "DLL: " <<(*it).first << ": " << (*it).second << "\n";<br />
}<br />
}<br />
Thank you in advance for your help.

Are both the DLL and the exe using the same runtime library ? You can check in your project setting -> C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime library (for VC2005)

Oh ! you are here, too.
I tried to reproduce crash. But, no success.
May be problem is what Cedric is saying.

This is a known problem in the STL that comes with VC++6.0. See KB articles Q172396 and Q168958 for more details. In a nutshell, this has to do with how that STL implementation uses static data.
There are alternate STL implementations (like Dinkumware) that do not have this problem. At least, I think the old Dinkumware one you used to be able to purchase.
Peace!

Both Cedric and James are right. There are two problems with your approach:
1) The version of STL you are using is broken. You can try fixes available here[^]: or pick some other implementation of the Standard Library that works with VC6.
2) Even when you get a good STL implementation, you'd better ensure that all the modules use the same instance of the CRT.
In short, I think it is a good idea to follow Herb Sutter's advice and make the dll entries C (not C++) functions.

I don't recall ever seeing Sutter saying that. Do you have a reference for it?

I'll go back and re-read my copy to make sure. The reason I ask is because Sutter (along with Meyers) usually write about platform independent coding styles, so it would be unlike him to mention something specifically about DLLs. Especially since the same limitations are not placed on .so's in the *Nix world.

I think you'll find it in the item 63. Use sufficiently portable types in a module’s interface. or somewhere around it in the Namespaces and Modules part of the book.

Hi,
Recently I started working in VS2005 instead of VS6.
In VS6 I could add member veriables to my class by using the class wizard.
In VS2005 I'm able to add only one member veriable at a time(i.e - for each
member veriable i need to right click over the form , choose the Add veriable , add the member veriable and choose the finish option(I can't add more than one veriable in one session).
Is there another quick way to do so?
Regards,
Eli

Open the class' .h file and start typing. It's the fastest and easiest way to add member variables.
You may be right
I may be crazy

When you click the class in class sheet, you'll see a property sheet. It is like the class wizard for adding message handlers and overwriting virtual functions.
If you use Dialog DDV/DDX, the adding variable members is for it.

I am about to have a go at writing my own service application. But before I start, I have a few questions I have unable to find reasonable answers to.
An article on CP states that a service is loaded at boot time before any users log on to the system. The service I intend to create is dependant on some system variables to be set which means the user is required to be logged on. This leads me to my question. Since the service requires the user to be logged on, I also want to be able to configure it for each user, which would probably require reading some HKCU registry keys. But how should I handle the case where more than one user is logged on, would the service be run as a seperate instance?
When installing the service, is it possible to do so without admin privlages?
