Re: keep dialog box shape when screen resolution changes

You mean the size relative to screen resolution? You'd have to use GetSystemMetrics to get the resolution and call MoveWindow. What's displayed in your dialog?

My dialog box contains an ActiveX control which contains a graph. My dialog box doesn't have maximize/restore button because I want to keep my buttons' layout. I'm currently using 1024&768. When I switch to 800*600, everything becomes too big to fit on my 15" monitor.

I guess you should go for resizable dialog. There are classes implementing this right here on CP - try searching for CResizableDlg or browse through dialog section of the site.

1280x1024->1024x768=Where Is Taskbar?

Hi ALL!
I would be very thankful if anyone could help me with my suddenly arised problem.
In my app I change screen resolution from 1280x1024 to 1024x768.
I use ChangeDisplaySettings() function and it really changes resolution but after that
standard Windows Taskbar is appeared far below the bottom of display.

The Question is: How to return Windows Taskbar to it original place (namely at the
bottom edge of display)?
Thank you.

atoi and LPCTSTR

WHy is it that both work:

CString x = "123";

int myNum = atoi(LPCTSTR(x));

and

int myNum = atoi(x)

Appreciate your help,
ns

Because casting LPCTSTR is not necessary.

CString defines an operator for LPCTSTR, and the atoi() function takes an LPCTSTR arg. So the compilers knows which functionality to use.

casting LPCTSTR is not really good programming practise... Getting compiler warnings can highlight problems before you spend hours debugging them.

The LPCTSTR cast is totally unnecessary. CString provides one for you.

So is it true that any place I need a char*, I can use a CString directly? I'm not too sure about that ... Confused | :confused:

No. You can use CString directly whenever you need const char *. If you need char *, then use CString::GetBuffer.

I think he meant that every where he wants to use a string ( char*, and all C type allocations business ) he can use a CString.

Max.

Still, char* is not const char*. The round CString will just not fit in the square char*.

Serial Port DSR Line Interrupt...

Blade[DMS]3-Oct-02 4:29

Blade[DMS]

3-Oct-02 4:29

I have a hardware device which rattles the DSR line to let the PC know it is there...

Unfortunatly Windows 2000 seems to run an interrupt handler whenever the DSR line changes state, and when the DSR line is rattling at 10 microseconds, the PC is unable to cope with all these interrupts...

Is it possible to disable the interrupt on the DSR line in windows 2000 (and XP for that matter)...

(Clearing DSR in the COMM Mask makes no difference...)

Thanks...

10 microseconds ? ~ 10^5 Hz??? That's a bit quick... i'm not suprised it causes problems.

Anyway, methinks the only way you'll do this is with the DDK.

Thanks, Thats what I thought... Frown | :(

We're working on changing the devices firmware to reduce the frequency a lot Big Grin | :-D

Shame... if it was DOS would could just clear the MSR interrupt flag in the IER...

Ah well...

DHTML Edit Control

Hi Colleagues,

Does anybody have any information about the methods of the DHTML Edit Control (ActiveX) from Microsoft? I look the online msdn, but I don't find anything.

My problem is to use this control inside my VisualC++ application. I want to create() it dynamically but I don't know its styles (I use the defaults). And I don't have html pages I want to set its content depending what the user needs, I have the html pages in a DB (only text, at the moment).

Wink | ;)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best Regards,

Pere

Lookup IHTMLEditDesigner and IHTMLEditHost.

You may download the DHTML Edit SDK separately, though it is now part of the platform SDK.

There is no other sample about it with in VS.NET cd.

I made a quick google search and found a fine article here[^].

sometimes it helps to look at the IL generated code

Yes it is possible. Perhaps your source CD has copy protection.

And is this really a Visual C++ question???

the source disk is not original one: my friend copied from somewhere on a 650M cd, i copy from the 650M cd to 700M cd. i tested, it is OK if copy it to 650M cd. but it is not OK if to 700M cd.

what is problem?

by the way, i am sure it is strong related to visual c++.

TopicVector is CArray<CTopicItem,CTopicItem>
topic is CTopicItem as well (derived from CObject)

I have a Compile Error on the .Add line with
Cannot Convert Parameter 1 from CTopicItem to CTopicItem

am I doing something wrong?
