When that header is included in a managed app, you get the errors you mention. When it is included in a straight C++ app, it works fine. The included template creates a managed app, therefore ... I don't do managed apps so I can't tell you how to include Platform SDK functionality in your service. If you don't need the managed stuff, make your service pure C++.

Howdy y'all. 
Does anyone happen to know off-hand if there's any way to tap into a system message for when the WorkingArea of the primary screen changes? I'm actually using .NET but should be able to do something with interop.
To see what I mean, simply change the windows vista sidebar "always on top" setting. This results in the WorkingArea changing.
(In the worst case I suppose I could poll every few seconds, but for something that is only going to happen once in a long while it seems wasteful.)
Secondly, does anyone know how to "reset" the workingarea to what it should be, minus any alterations? I am adjusting the working area to allow for an RSS ticker to be displayed on-screen, even when other windows are maximized. So far it's working great, except that the calculation sometimes gets thrown off, and it appears in the wrong location, or doesn't reset itself properly.
In general, if anyone has experience working with the WorkingArea or WORKAREA as I guess it's called in Win32, please let me know some tricks of the trade.
Muchas gracias,
Logan

Aha, I just discovered C# does Shell[^] here on CP, which of course I should have searched for first. I'll read through this and see if it answers my questions and/or teaches me a few new tricks.
Feel free to post any comments in the meantime...

Is this a C# question? Have you used Spy++ on the desktop to see what messages it receives after the Sidebar changes?

Actually it's a Win32 question, but I didn't see a specific forum.

Is this a new language  , or are you referring to some IDE?

Win32's anything but new. It's the governing underlying API of the Windows operating system since (I think) Windows 95.

As far as that goes, and to answer my own question, I found what appears to be the information I was looking for to begin with:

I have a RichEditCtrl in a dialog box in a MFC program. While it is a simple matter to print from this, I would also like to implement a print preview. Is there any guidance available on how to do this?

There is a great printing class here:
http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/w-p/printing/article.php/c2955/
I have used it along time. One problem I have, which is really
driving me crazy, is that I have a standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper
and cant print text past 10.5". I tried adjusting the SetBottomMargin()
function to:
pPage->SetBottomMargin(-1)
pPage->SetBottomMargin(0);
pPage->SetBottomMargin(11);
but none of them work. The text just doesnt print if it is too low
on the page.
How can print text that is close to the edge of the paper using this
class or not using this class?
Please, any response any one can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Danielle Brina (an overworked graduate student)

hi,
i suppose that it should be changed into
double CPage::SetBottomMargin(double w)
{
int temp=m_PrtDesc.rc.bottom;
if(w > 0)
m_PrtDesc.rc.bottom=ConvertToMappedUnits(w,VERTRES);
if(w==-1)
m_PrtDesc.rc.bottom=m_PrtDesc.n_maxLength;
//m_PrtDesc.rc.right=m_PrtDesc.n_maxLength; //previous line
return ConvertToInches(temp,VERTRES);
}
and calling pPage->SetBottomMargin(-1);

Hello all,
I've created a special class (Class view -> right click -> add class -> MFC Class -> Add)
I've selected the base class CPropertyPage.
I'd like to use it in order to extend several pages that I have in a property sheet. Doing that I'll be able to reuse code without having to use pretranslatemessages and this kind of stuff.
The thing here is that I must be missing something:
In the header file I've changed
class CDlgPPAssEV52 : public CPropertyPage
to
class CDlgPPAssEV52 : public CPropertyPageEx
And in the implementation file I've changed
IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC(CDlgPPAssEV52, CPropertyPage)<br />
<br />
CDlgPPAssEV52::CDlgPPAssEV52()<br />
: CPropertyPage(CDlgPPAssEV52::IDD)<br />
{<br />
}
to
IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC(CDlgPPAssEV52, CPropertyPageEx)<br />
<br />
CDlgPPAssEV52::CDlgPPAssEV52()<br />
: CPropertyPageEx(CDlgPPAssEV52::IDD)<br />
{<br />
}
I get this error: cannot convert from '' to 'const CTAMPropertyPage'
Any idea why is this happening?
As always thank you in advance.

On what line?
Does the CPropertyPageEx class have a constructor that takes (at least) a UINT?
Does CDlgPPAssEV52::IDD exist?

ooops...
It seems it was too late yesterday... the constructor did not had the UINT...
Thank you.

What is CTAMPropertyPage?

Based on what you've shown, no. What statement is the compiler complaining about?

It is solved, the constructor lacked the UINT...
Sorry for the inconvenience...

I have dialog based app and dll which hooks WH_CBT. In the app i know which key was pressed and HWND of the app where key was pressed.
I can change keyboard layout for my own app using LoadKeyboardLayout and ActivateKeyboardLayout. But how can i change keyboard layout for another application - for the application where the key (say, i'll monitor for F9) was pressed, the one i have HWND for?
Thanks

As is known, Visual C++ has two character modes: ascii char (8 bits) and Unicode WCHAR (16 bits). If I use such a program to write to a .TXT file, please what is the internal format of a .TXT file, so that whatever reads it can distinguish between one 16-bit Unicode character and two adjacent ascii 8-bit characters? What are the special roles of the 8-bit control characters (ascii 0 to 31)? I know of CR LF TAB, but what do the rest do?

Can you use IsTextUnicode() after reading a chunk from the beginning of the file?
