Create a hidden window.

You can pass the names of the files and the path [where you want to copy the files to] as arguments to your application and then use ShellExecute to execute the file you want to. See for how you can use command line arguments.
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Just make a straight Win32 application and don't show a dialog or window.

You can use of a batch for run that exe file and also you can make a hidden dialog with ShowWindow(SW_HIDE).

It's not possible that I know of. What exactly are you trying to do?

Hello everyone,
1.
For message pump code for COM STA, my question is, we just need to copy and past the following code to STA owner thread, no need to implement any functions to handle msg (e.g. hidden window message handler)?
(I think no need and I think COM Runtime will plug-in a message handler for the hidden window, to process the msg and call related function automatically?)
MSG msg;
while (GetMessage (&msg, 0, 0, 0))
DispatchMessage (&msg);
2.
If all the message pump code are common, why not COM automatically generates the code for all STA? Because some STA has the requirement of not handling in-coming calls from other apartment?
thanks in advance,
George

Messages are are dispatched to the target window in the call to DispatchMessage. As for the question of why you have to explictly code the pump, it's a matter of:
1. When you want the pump to run.
2. The form of the message pump. You may want to have a call to TranslateMessage for example. Also, frameworks like MFC add extra features such as idle time processing to their message pumps.

Thanks Steve,
Do you also think my below statements are correct?
--------------------
... I think COM Runtime will plug-in a message handler for the hidden
window, to process the msg and call related function automatically? So, the
target called function will receive expected function parameter other than
msg.
--------------------

George

Yes, the window procudure of the window will take care of the details.

Cool, Steve!
It is good COM Runtime implements the window procudure for us.

Hello everyone,
As mentioned in the book ATL Internals, when assign none to COM thread model,
--------------------
If there is no ThreadingModel given in the registry, COM will assume a legacy single-threaded class and access the class object from the process's first STA, creating a new STA is necessary. This protects objects from having to synchronize access to global, static, or instance data.
--------------------
I do not understand why "This protects objects from having to synchronize access to global, static, or instance data"? Any ideas?
thanks in advance,
George

Say you're using the STA threading model and have two threads (each STAs). If both of these threads instantiate the same COM object then any access to global data runs the risk of accessing the same data in both threads at the same time and thus corrupting it. If "none" is selected as the threading model the primary STA thread will be directly connect to the COM object and the other will use a proxy/stub to communicate to it's COM object with also lives in the primary STA thread.

Thanks Steve,
I want to confirm with you that all none thread-model COM objects will be created in the same primary STA thread?
regards,
George

That's how it works.

I'm looking into using MSXML for parsing, and possibly generating XML files.
Anyone have experience with this? Specifically is there a way I can cleanly package it as part of my product via an "xcopy install" method?
Or would it be necessary to run some installer on the end user's system to get the library installed and registered? I'm hoping on avoiding that as I don't want to require admin access to install and I'd rather be as self-contained as possible, not dumping other stuff on the users machine (outside my install dir).
Thanks!

This link has the versions listed that come along with IE. We've never had to put the MSXML components in our install packages explicitly since we require at least IE 5.5 and MDAC 2.7 on the machine to run our products. We do have the MDAC redistributable in the MSI for those machines that might need it.

I am accustomed to RemovePreviousVersions uninstalling the previous version and installing the new one. I just need to increment the version number, accept a new product code and leave the upgrade code untouched.
But the vs2008 msi leaves the old versions of the files in the installation folder.
I have read that this is because vs2008 checks the version of the individual files, and if they have not changed, refuses to install the new file.
OK. So how do I increment the version number of the individual files? I do not want to have to change each file manually!
Thanks,
James

I have discovered a simple, almost crude, solution for this problem.
Remove the VERSIONINFO resource.
Now the installer will delete the old installed file and replace it with the one in the installation package.
To remove the VERSIONINFO resource:
- Open the resource view
- Open <projectname>.rc
- Open Version
- Right click on VERSIONINFO
- Delete

Dear all,
I don't know how to create shiny silver color for the background of a MFC dialog. Please provide me some clues for achieving this. How about by code?? What is the RGB value??
My friend asked me to insert a jpg for the background. Is it possible??
My and I are beginners of MFC. Therefore, we would like to hearing from experts. Thank you!
Best regards,
John

Hi!
This is more of a general question/rant... We have been using Crystal Reports for 10+ years and it has worked reasonably well. I am however somewhat disenchanted with the support in the BusinessObjects fora and just the other day did I stumble upon this:
http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/cs/forums/thread/18745.aspx
It seems that BO is pulling the plug on C++. I have no idea what they are smoking, but I will have a hard time finding a business case to convert a perfectly functional C++/MFC app to C#.
Anyone in the same quandary? What alternatives are there out there to embed reporting into a C++/MFC app
