this might help

COleVariant ov;
...

ov.ChangeType(VT_BSTR);

// convert BSTR to ANSI
char ansiFilename[MAX_PATH + 1];
if (WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0, ov.bstrVal, -1, ansiFilename, MAX_PATH, NULL, NULL))
{
	ansiFilename[MAX_PATH]=0; // just in case
...
}
else
{ error }

#define O 0.05
#define I(c) putchar(c)
main(){int I(int);double l[6];char lO[5];for(*(lO+1)=0;*(lO+1)<'2';I(0x0A),(*(l+5))=-25*O+((*(lO+1)
)++)*O)for((*(lO+2))=0;(*(lO+2))<'2';(*(l+4))=-40.*O+((*(lO+2))++)*O){for((*(l))=(*(l+1))=0,
*(lO)=1;++*(lO)&&(((*(l+2))=((*(l))*(*(l))))+((*(l+3))=((*(l+1))*(*(l+1))))<4.);(*(l+1))=(*(
l))*(*(l+1))+(*(l+5))+(*(l+1))*(*(l)),(*(l))=((*(l+2))-(*(l+3)))+(*(l+4)));I((*(lO)?42:0x20));}}

Thanks for your help !
In last, BSTR = WCHAR ?

I've always used V_BSTR or V_BSTRT macros.

COleVariant ov;
CString x;

ov = ...;

x = V_BSTRT( &ov );

Each icon ID consists of two icons- a 32x32 and a small 16x16. Theres a combo box in the icon editor to select between them. Chances are you've only changed the large one, but its actually the small one that is used in most situations. Edit those and rebuild.

Sorry to dissapoint you all with my lack of a witty or poignant signature.

use of TWAIN in C++

Hi, I`m just starting to develop some TWAIN compatibility in my program for scanners etc. but I haven't got a clue where to start, can anyone give me some good links to the information I would need to successfully implement TWAIN? I would obviously prefer somewhere that offered it for free. Big Grin | :-D

Many Thanks,
Alan.

Thanks Chris, its just what i need. I have, since asking the question, also managed to find a TWAIN wrapper on this very site, for anyone wanting an alternative.

Many Thanks Chris,

I am having problems adding a dialog to a static library.

I have created a static library with MFC support, and then went to the menu and selected insert/resource which gave me a dialog to work with. However I want to assign a class to the dialog and do things with it, but The class Wizard option is unselectable. any ideas please??

cheers

Starting app and waiting for termination

5-Nov-01 2:34

Hi
What's the easiest way to start an application and wait until it has finished?
Should I use ShellExecute or CreateProcess?
And should I use a timer to check if the app has finished or is there a better way?

regards

Re: Starting app and waiting for termination

Tomasz Sowinski5-Nov-01 3:10

Tomasz Sowinski

Use WaitForSingleObject with a handle returned by CreateProcess. ShellExecute doesn't return the handle, but you can use ShellExecuteEx.

Your thread will be stopped until the spawned process runs.

Using SQL with ADO or not?

Mike Eriksson5-Nov-01 2:16

Mike Eriksson

5-Nov-01 2:16

I'm a bit confused about the use of ADO and the use of SQL. I have an application that uses a database, which database depends on the users configuration but almost always it's either MSAccess or MSSQL or Oracle SQL server. I have up till now used a sql string to create a recordset but now I'm beginning to wonder if this is the way ADO is meant to be used.

If someone would explain the pro and cons of using SQL contra 'ADO internal' I would appreciate it!

Is this a BUG?

5-Nov-01 1:28

Is this a bug?

I tried this function overloading with Turbo C++ 3 & VC++ 6 and both produced the same error of ambigous call:

float Op (float X, float Y, float Z)
{
...
}

int Op (int X, int Y, int Z)
{
...
}

1) Op (3.0, 6.0, 9.0);
2) Op (3, 6, 9);

The compiler said that the (1) function call is ambigous despite the fact that the parameters have decimals. I tried this:

3) Op (3.1, 6.1, 9.1);

with the same result. But by specifying even the first element's type, the compiler did not complained (and called the correct function):

Op ((float) 3.0, 6.0, 9.0);

How come the compiler does not recognize the decimals of the parameter as float? Also after placing decimal values > 0 (as in the (3) function), the compiler still would not consider the parameters as float.

Is this a BUG?

A floating point literal (like 3.0) has the type double, not float.

ohh... So does this mean...

5-Nov-01 4:17

So does this mean that even though the other overload function's parameter is discreet (char, int, ...; non-Real), the compiler while still be confused between choosing a discreet and a real overload?

Is there a way (or rather, a numerical representation of a number) to tell the compiler to use FLOAT without TYPECASTING?

ThanXs,
Smile | :)

Jamie Hale5-Nov-01 6:04

Use:

function(0.3f, 0.6f, 0.9f);

This forces the compiler to look at those numbers as floats instead of doubles.
