Your snippet of code is confusing: sprintf will format a string based on your pattern ("%s%s"), and put it in the filestream string.
Surely you're using sscanf?
I'd consider using a combinateion of CString member functions, like CString::Mid and FInd and stuff
Sorry to dissapoint you all with my lack of a witty or poignant signature.

Hi,
Is there any good and fast way to print reports using Visual C++, ... using GDI and printing cannot be very proffesional looking, and add my own code for all the stuff it´s like crazy...
I have thought to use Word Automation, but that mean to have a program not so stable, and very slow... ( I mean if you have an EXE of Word running that is corrupted, then you can not print until you take the task manager and delete it ( quite intiutive for the user), and it takes a while to load Word to export and print a little thing...).
So can anybody help me ? ( I´m searching for free things to use, not magic controls that cost a lot of money  ).
Thanks, Bye !

In actual fact, using GDI to print can produce extremely professional results. Word itself uses GDI to do printing, as doo all other Windows applications, either directly or indirectly (i.e. through a class library, DLL, or COM object).

Hi !,
Yes, with GDI you can make a lot of nice stuff, but it takes some more extra time, ... if you need to print 10 standard reports... just looking for an ActiveX or whatever in which you pass the recorset, and Header, and you have it all done... 
I can try to make a class like that for me, but I don´t like to reinvent the wheel..., and it´s sure that it won´t look so proffessional, because to make such thing quite, quite ok, you need some time to do it.
Bye !

Thanks !,
I will take a look to that !. Does it work fine ? ( I have seen in the user comments that it has some bugs ?).
Bye !

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 !
Marc

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.
