I just tried it using g++ from GCC 2.95.3, and it still compiled and linked fine, using: g++ -o player player.cpp main.cpp

Very strange... I don't see anything wrong with the code snippets, and it's also weird that it's the linker that's complaining...

Well, you can't. USB port is only gateway to devices that you control. Each device installs driver that you talk to. Many devices use the generic HID driver, download the ddk for docs/code.

Check Windows ddk. I recommend using the built-in hid driver and modify the device to support it.

CDC::TextOut() or any of the other variants.

For the resizing you will have to hit test the mouse click against the list of items you draw, if it is within your hit test bounds then you have a hit and move to editing mode for the item. Store the details that you use to draw the item, and as the mouse moves, erase the item as it was, quick way to do it is via an XOR drawing operation. Draw the new item at the new position. On mouse up, commit the new positions to the store. You will have to worry about which item to select on the hit test. Think of each item being created as being on a stack, hit-test working down the stack. If two items are possible hits, then it is the more newly created (ie on top) item that will be selected. then you will have to do a move to back, bring to front mechanism, but that is simple.

HTH,

Steve.

Hi all,

I would like to check the attributes of a file's (e.g date, time) creation.
I am sure it is possible but I just dont know how?

I am writing an application in VC++ .NET which would search for file in a specified folder and the results will be shown in chronical order.

I can search the file but I can't show the output in chronical order Confused | :confused:

.

I would really appreciate if someone can help me out.

Thanks

Dilshad

If you're using FindFirstFile/FindNextFile to do the searching, those APIs return the created/modified/accessed times in the WIN32_FIND_DATA struct. Otherwise, you can call GetFileTime() to get those.

void CText_dialogDlg::OnSearch()

CString buffer;
FILE *stream;

char target[80],etchant[80],conc[300];
char name[80];
int temp;

stream = fopen( "e:\\fyp_2003\\database.txt", "r" );

searchkey=m_strkey;

do

UpdateData(FALSE);
m_dialog_etch.DoModal();
fclose( stream );

}

but my dialog_etch din appear, instead the program hanged.
i have 2 dialogs, dialog1 and dialog_etch, when user key in the edit box, my dialog etch will retrieve the info from a txtfile.

where is onsearch() called in? Maybe you have called this function in other procedure actived by EN_SETFOCUS message.

This loop is where your program is hanging. If you never read a value where name_str==searchkey, the loop will continue forever. Eventually you will reach the end of file, and the fscanf functions will return errors.

thanx! i solved that but now i have another problem, i use 2 if statements which contain different searchkey, so by right, my dialog_etch should display different information depending on the searchkey but it kept displaying the same info to mi...:

if(strcmp(buffer,"Wet etch Al H3PO4") == 0)
{
CString search = "Wet1";

Hi,
I want to create an application which shows the status of my network devices. For this I want to put clickable icons. Once I click that it should generate a dialouge box showing the details of the device. Now, my doubt is how to create small clickable item with some icon over it?? Can it be a regular resource?? How to generate that small buttons??
Thanks and Regards,
SatyaDY.
