Headers supplied with platform SDK

I'm trying to get hold of ESENT.H (and optionally ESENT.LIB). Does anyone know which version (if any) of the platform SDK includes these?
I know that the XPSP2 version doesn't, and annoyingly, nor does the one that ships with VS2005 (nor is it in SP1 for same).

I really don't want to have to download a 400MB+ image just for two files, particularly if I don't know that they're actually in there...

Both are in Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK. There's even different 32 and 64 bit flavours. Sorry about the 400MB+ Wink | ;)

They are not with the February 2003 version.

I knew you were going to say that. I have Feb03 installed, and the XPSP2 one, so I knew they weren't in there Smile | :)

However, I now have an answer to my question, so I'll dig out the right DVD and install it.

Child keeps covering parent

Hi there all,

Ik create a child dialog using CDialog->Create, followed by ShowWindow. Works just fine. I can now again activate the parent window, while the child is still alive. However: The child still covers the parent even if the parent is active and the child is not. There is no way that I get the parent to overlap the child when it is activated (I know that this can be the hard truth in real life, but I would like my computer to do what I want)! How do I do such a thing?

Thanks in advance,
William

While creating child dialog specify desktop window( Use GetDesktopWindow) as the parent instead of the "parent dialog".

As you said this is the expected behavior.

   When advising people to use the desktop as a parent, it might be prudent to mention the dangers of doing so[^].

   In general, you should not associate your child window with one that you do not own/control.

   Peace!

'register' inevitably means writing to the Windows Registry database. Hacking USER.DAT and the like from DOS is pretty much suicidal in term of Windows ever booting up again, so ultimately if you want register an ActiveX the registration process will need to run under Windows. There's nothing to stop you running regsvr32 from a command prompt or by use of ShellExecute(). It can be run with a quiet switch, /q I think, if you don't want any message boxes popping up.

Hi, I'm developing an MFC Application, and I need to use the Main Ribbon Button (On the Top-Left Corner) without the Ribbon Control, because my app is poor of function. I'll attach on the bottom of the Main Ribbon Control a simple Toolbar.

- Is it possible to use the main Ribbon button without the all the Ribbon?
- Another possibility is to use the Ribbon with a fix Catalog of control. Is it possible?

Thanks a lot
