Hi,
I'm trying to walk the start menu and evaluate the targets of all shortcuts, and extract the version information from any EXE file that I find. This is in an attempt to get a list of installed software.
For the most part it works. But, Microsoft Office never shows up. Looking at the shortcuts ( Office 2000 by the way), they are kind of "special". Right clicking in explorer to get properties yields wierd information: ie the Target box is greyed out and contains "Microsoft Office 2000" instead of a files system path to the application.
When I use the IShellLink interface to decode the link, I can't get the target of these shortcuts (they just return empty strings).
Does anyone know how I can decode these "special" shortcuts??? I've been poking around for CLSID's in the registry but its way confusing and doesn't do much for my sanity.
I note that if I open the "Microsoft Word.lnk" file in a hex editor, I can see the target information that I want.
Please help!
Thanks
Jon

I have a derived CListCtrl in which I do a bit of custom drawing. The custom drawing had to be done because the first line of each "query" is more or less a header line. For example, if I have the programming staff's hours worked this week in a database, the first line (and subsequently, the first column) in the list control (report view of course) is the person's name. However, the real data on the next line is a date. So what's happening is that since the column is sized to handle a date, a person with a normal name has their name clipped.
I'm looking for a way when I get this "status line" that I can handle the painting and not have the name clipped but have it paint the line of text over multiple columns.
I've seen the examples for painting the list control when there's no items, but this isn't going to work in my situation because they're painting the entire list control which I don't want.
Any help is appreciated.

Basically, you have two choices. Owner-draw list control delegates all drawing to your code. You're responsible for everything and have full control. OTOH, the custom-draw is usable when you just want to alter some aspects of drawing, like text color or font. I'm not sure if you'll be able to draw unbounded by columns. There should be some articles on custom-draw list control on CP.
Maybe you should just use a grid - there's one right here on CodeProject. It supports multiple fonts, colors, etc.

I'm currently using custom draw to highlight particular rows. I couldn't figure out how to intercept the text drawing. I also noticed that when I looked at the rect struct that's passed into the custom draw function that top was set, but bottom, right and left were out in left field (uninitialized I'm guessing).
I really don't require any additional functionality other than this, so I'm not sure if the supergrid is something I want to add at this point, but who knows, maybe I'll end up going down that route.
Thanks for the feedback.

Can this control use .gif files ?

From the doc.
An animation control is a rectangular window that displays a clip in AVI (Audio Video Interleaved) format— the standard Windows video/audio format. An AVI clip is a series of bitmap frames, like a movie.
Animation controls can play only simple AVI clips. Specifically, the clips to be played by an animation control must meet the following requirements:
There must be exactly one video stream and it must have at least one frame.
There can be at most two streams in the file (typically the other stream, if present, is an audio stream, although the animation control ignores audio information).
The clip must either be uncompressed or compressed with RLE8 compression.
No palette changes are allowed in the video stream.
You can add the AVI clip to your application as an AVI resource, or it can accompany your application as a separate AVI file.
So GIF won't work

I would like to parse a XML file from a TCP/IP socket source without saving the stream to text file before parsing the file. I'm quite familiar parsing a standard XML text file with the microsoft xml parser, but I do not know how to parse a socket xml stream. Of course I would like to use the ms parser for this purpose, too, if possible.
Thanx in advance !

use DOMDocument::loadXML instead of load
|
|
|
|
|
The SAX/SAX2 interface is best for parsing sequential XML streams. MSXML has an SAX2 interface, I think you could use that but COM gives me a headache. I'd use expat or Xerces instead.

How can I know what enter for HINSTANCE ?
|
|
|
|
|
Is SetBitmap a method of some class? There are SetBitmaps functions in CButton, CStatic, etc. but they do not use HINSTANCE parameters.

I am looking for a german version of comdlg32.dll which contain the standard dialog boxes. It is in the winnt\system32 directory.
Is there anybody who can tell me which dll or other system file contains the calendar ? I use a calendar control in my app and i want to change the language of the monthes names.

Calendar should be in comctl32.dll. However, I don't think you'll be able to use german version of common controls/dialogs on english NT and vice versa.

Only put the dll in the same folder or something like it.
Because it is problem to register the dll on client computer by installation packet .
|
|
|
|
|
If it's guarenteed the dll is in a known directory ( either absolute or relative to your program ) then you can run regsrv32 from your program using shellexecute, or provide a batch file that does it and put it in runonce with your install program, and require a reboot.

Thats easy: you can register your com-dll by using
this source code inside your client, maye inside your
InitInstance. For this reason you have to copy the dll
into the same dir as the .exe file.
by the way: regsvr32.exe will do nothing else !
BOOL CMyApp::RegisterVtrLibrary()
{
HINSTANCE ComLib;
FARPROC lpfnDLLProc;
BOOL bRet = FALSE;
VTRLib = LoadLibrary("MyComDLL.dll");
if (VTRLib)
{
lpfnDLLProc = GetProcAddress (ComLib, "DllRegisterServer");
(*lpfnDLLProc) (); //DllRegisterServer();
FreeLibrary(ComLib);
bRet=TRUE;
}
return bRet;
}

in that way I got errors on the line :
VTRLib = LoadLibrary("Debug\\UdiDNM.dll");
as below:
---------------------------------------------------
Compiling...
MyAtl.cpp
MyAtl.cpp(106) : error C2065: 'VTRLib' : undeclared identifier
MyAtl.cpp(106) : error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'struct HINSTANCE__ *' to 'int'
This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or function-style cast
Error executing cl.exe.
MyAtl.dll - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Well, I forgot to change the name of this variable. SORRY
BOOL CMyApp::RegisterComLibrary()
{
HINSTANCE ComLib;
FARPROC lpfnDLLProc;
BOOL bRet = FALSE;
ComLib = LoadLibrary("MyComDLL.dll");
if (VTRLib)
{
lpfnDLLProc = GetProcAddress (ComLib, "DllRegisterServer");
(*lpfnDLLProc) (); //DllRegisterServer();
FreeLibrary(ComLib);
bRet=TRUE;
}
return bRet;
}
