how to change the font caption of button

15-Sep-07 11:54

GauranG033But nothing is added in ComboBox.

There is a difference between nothing being added vs. not being able to see the added item. Since SendMessage() returned 0, the item was added.

You can use of SetFont function.

Hey guys , I vaguely remember an API like GetFilePath, that gives you the directory path of a file when you pass the complete file path. like

c:\windows\temp.txt ------>> c:\windows\

You remember that one? And there were also many functions like that to process the "\" "/" like that and to get root folder and many more things. damn nothing strikes for me now. I stronly remember I found them in MSDN, but couldn't spot any of them now. Please help!

I tried a hundred time "Shell" + api + path and all combination, I got all craps. The worst crap was the page that took me to "Shell("mspaint.exe")" .. A vb function just like createProcess. OMG | :OMG:

VB!!

Anyway I'm so happy I've found the exact page in MSDN Jig | [Dance]

What about PathRemoveFileSpec()?

Yup, I was just trying to spot this guy, found and used it here[^].

Btw David, I have a simple question related to above, If you want to clear a char buffer[] (stack allocated) , what's the proper way?
like :

char szTemp[256];

<br />
strcpy(szTemp,"");<br />
*szTemp = 0;<br />
ZeroMemory(..)<br />
Memset(..)<br />
*szTemp = NULL;<br />

I would use:

char szTemp[256] = { '\0' };

for initialization, and then memset() later on to clear its contents.

probably missing a closing '}' on a function. Look just above the first error.

As for now, I have only discovered ExtTextOut(), to which I must provide x,y coordinates for starting to write at, and which doesn`t automatically add a scrollbar when reached the end of the screen.
So, did any of you find or know a better solution to this ?

It sounds like you should use a rich text control. If you are using MFC, you can use CRichEditCtrl.

Hi,
If an application has more than one top level windows,
how can I determine which is the main window.

Thanks!

Conversion Problem

14-Sep-07 4:47

I receive a 20 word message and two words of this message define a floating value;

unsigned short message [20]; // Message buffer

e.g. message [2] and message[3] define a float with the mantissa in the lower byte of message[3].

Could I get the floating value by doing this:-

buffer[0] = message[2];
buffer[1] = message[3];
union
{
float data;
unsigned short buff[2];
}convert;

float val = convert.data;

Or what is the best way to get this 32 bit embedded floating point value.

Andy.
