ok.

LPWSTR str = L"something";
LPCWSTR str = L"something";

requires care. in this case if your project is unicode, it is safe.

hi Rajkumar R, what if the project is compile with _MBCS? will it still be ok?

No, it is not ok. My previous statements is still correct.
func((LPCTSTR)str);
requires care. in this case if your project is unicode, it is safe.
ginjikun wrote: what if the project is compile with _MBCS? will it still be ok?
with the project settings, whenever the LPCTSTR is defined as LPCWSTR it is safe, as the str is of type LPWSTR. AFAIK, MBCS is not wide character, so passing wide character to function taking MBCS is not safe.
mostly, Wide character and single character is used without any precautions simply using generic text mapping functions, but MBCS requires additional handling like (You must keep track of which bytes are lead bytes).

You could start by using CP's search facility.

Start by defining the functionality required for this "Bookmark option". (HINT: These are called functional requirements)

Iam using 2 processes A and B of which B creates a dialog.
Process A runs an infinite loop until the dialog is destroyed by B.
Iam using the FindWindow() to see if the dialog is present in A ,it is succeding even after the dialog is destroyed by B.
Can anyone let me know the way to completely destroy the dialog?

Send it a WM_CLOSE message.

Use a big hammer.
BTW how do you know that process A was effectively terminated?

Hi,
I am writing an application in VC6 that has a database, which needs to be updated periodically. The database is going to be .mdb, using DAO to interact with the program (I know this is supposed to be obsolete, but... i like it).
To do this, I plan to get the program to connect to a web server where the new database is hosted, download it and replace the old one that is on the user’s computer.
Please can you tell me if my approach is correct? Or, is there a better way to do this?
How do MS Office, Adobe, win XP… etc update their programs?
Thanks

Tara14 r, is there a better way to do this?
Can't you just connect directly to the database on the remote machine?
You might consider fixing your user id. The <font> tag is messing replies up.

I guess for that, the user would need to be connected to the internet to work with the program. I don't want it that way. Bacically, I just need to update the prices of items in the database.
Something like : User selects "Update price list" item in the program's menu - a dialog appears saying 'connecting...' - on establishing a connecting dialog says 'Updateing pirces..' and closes.
Thanks,
Tara

So the machines are not on the same intranet? If not, then FTP should be a viable solution.

No, they are not. The program will be deployed on the users personal computer and the database that will be manually modified/updated by the company will be hosted on its webserver.
Just curious: how does our operating system (win XP) automatically connect to the net and download updates? What protocal does it use?

Then you have no way of knowing if FTP will be blocked by any firewalls. HTTP might be a better choice and in some cases you could even run into an HTTPS only implementation.
