Thanks a lot!
I often go to http://nehe.gamedev.net/,unfortunately,I can't find what I want.
My doubt is "how to make the compass at the corner of the screen when user roam around".Or rather,how to draw a circle there when user roam:the circle is still at the corner,keep immobility,It seems that it is not associated with the 3D space!

Why not check out the source code for Quake or the Crystal Space engine at SourceForge?
There's also a beginners forum at opengl.org.

Hi.
I know it is possible to automate an office application into a dialog in VB. it's simple, MS included an activeX for it.
But in C++/MFC it's different. I don't know which activeX to import (the one the vb uses) and the only documentation I found was how to automate office applications into SDI and MDI applications, but that's not good enough. I want to be able to create a dialog based application (or a new dialog in an already existing application - in my case) and embedd Word or Excel onto that document.
Any ideas ?
The perfect solution will be to use VB's activeX, but I don't know which is it.

I'm not really into VB, but I guess that theres got to be a way to find out what activeX control it's using..
You should might try to create a dialog box in VB and open the dialog resource file (or which ever way VB stores that in) with a text editor and you might be luvky to find the GUID
Just a shot in the dark =)
Cheers,
Marc

I think you have to use Automation.There are a lot of articles in MSDN about it.Serach "VC" + "Excel" in MSDN.

I want to programatically temporatily disable the Windows key on my keyboard (the one that triggers the start menu)..
I tried to create a hook procedure that catches the proper WM_KEYDOWN messages (both WH_KEYBOARD and WH_GETMESSAGE can do this) but I dont know how to discard those messages once I intercept them.
Is there a way to do this or should I use a completely different approach to disable that key?
Thanks,
Marc.

I think you need to look up CBT hooks and how to use them

Hi, my drawing application wants to display the color in-use in the status bar, how can I do that?
|
|
|
|

GetStatusBarCtrl().SetBkColor( COLORREF cr );

It changes the whole status bar to the color specified. How to change a specific pane of the status bar? Thanks.

I'm sure the status bar class I used to do this years ago came from CP so have a look on the site. You need to create a class that overloads the status bar to do this.....

Hey!!
Can someone give me a good site that tackles tutorials
about the C-Language preprocessors....
e.g. IFDEF, UNDEF, IFNDEF, etc...

Rule #1: the preprocessor sucks - avoid using it
Rule #2: See Rule #1.
The preprocessor is evil, avoid it if you can.

The MS generated code seems to use it a good bit

Stroustrup says use of macros usually indicates a bad programmer or a bad design. I guess this proves him right.....

Yes I've read his book. But for my case, I code a set of single code for two kinds of different machines, I have to do with it:
in declaration:
#if MACHINE == TYPE_A
CMyStack m_ctrlStk[10];
#elif MACHINE == TYPE_B
CMyStack m_ctrlStk[3];
#endif
in .cpp:
#if MACHINE == TYPE_A
for(i = 0; i < 10; i++)
#elif MACHINE == TYPE_B
for(i = 0; i < 3; i++)
#endif
{
m_ctrlStk[i].Morph();
}

See, I would just use a vector.

Just like the #ifdef _AFXDLL trick in VC++,
#ifdef _AFXDLL
InitXXX();
#else
InitXXXStatic();
#endif
In my case, even the I/O of the machines are different. Thus:
enum _IoAddress {
#if MACHINE == 1
enACSwitch = 0x001,
enRelayMaster = 0x018 // and many many other I/O addresses..
#elif MACHINE == 2
enACSwitch = 0x093,
enRelayMaster = 0x071
#endif
};
Then I can code once, benefitted everywhere:
PLC_SetOutput(enACSwitch, bPowerOn);
PLC_SetFlag(enRelayMaster, bPause);
// ......

Stroustrup says a lot of things that I don't agree with. This being one of them.

I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

I avoid using it as much as possible, but do you think that it is ever useful and that it has its uses?
For example, the SAFE_RELEASE macro for COM interfaces:
#define SAFE_RELEASE(ptr) if(ptr) {(ptr)->Release(); ptr = NULL;}
Have you ever found any uses for macros, for some reason or another, C++ code would just not be a good solution?

At work I've written some common code as macros after much argument for an inline function. Personally I've used them in one project, a debugging tool where a macro was the only option, because it is able to report the file name and line number in which the trace command was written. A function obviously would not expand in place and therefore not work as I would desire.

You are definitely right about that. Debugging can be a nightmare, especially when you have a macro that spans across a couple of lines.
In a code generator that I wrote, we use a macro to properly thunk the Ansi/unicode conversions which helped make the generated code more readable and since no one was supposed to edit those files by hand, we felt fairly safe using the macros there. However, the debugging of the macro was a little difficult, we usually resorted to cut and paste (which sucked!)

Use smart pointers instead. Most of the time there are alternatives and where an alternative exists like using inline functions etc there is no excuse for using preprocessor. My 2c
