If you don't want to hook up with the MS SCC API, then why bother with an add-in? To me, running WinCVS and
switching between it and VC IDE is no pain. It's not clear what you would want the Add-In to do.

The Preston approach goes to far perhaps, since I don't quite care about the icons in the project files view if M$ is making so big deal about that. The quite simple ADDIN could solve the problem, together with, let's say, Window Tabs Oz addin... There is one tool called CVSThings, but this one is an external tool, I want addin, no need to be integrated at first (can't have it all see)...

>>why bother with an add-in?
Because it does not require NDA...
>>It's not clear what you would want the Add-In to do.
I want it to perform the basic operations on the open documents to begin with, also tell me the status, install watches on the file etc. Later on it can evolve of course...
>>To me, running WinCVS and switching between it and VC IDE is no pain.
To me it is, and more-other, it is dangerous! We already have two accidental removal of the files from repo, and some missing changes as well. It is not correct to launch the external tool to do the job. This is good example of something I call UNIX syndrom (with all respect) - why I need a windows, I have a command line!? The truth is that the command line tools are powerful indeed, but without the GUI wrappers are source of troubles. That is why you like WinCVS, isn't it? So, to stuff the thing into your IDE environment is just the same thing, but gives even more security! This is the next step, and the only way to make the job done.
Yes, I don't like CVS. But if I have to use it, I will use it properly, make it working for me, not me working for it. Because it is a computer who is going to do the job, not me wasting my time and doing the things should be done automatically. Simple.
COMPUTER IS FOR SERVING THE HUMAN, NOT THE HUMAN IS TO SERVE THE COMPUTER!!! Otherwise, we don't need this things at all, lets just use pencil and paper!?

I would like to see an article or sample programs about drawing text with "antialiasing" ("smooth text") effect using Windows GDI functions.
|
|
|
|
|
There isn't a big reason for this anymore...windows will automatically anti-alias text if users want it to. However, check out the Win32 source of the Gimp program for an example (http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/).
|
|
|
|
|
I would be extremely happy if somebody would show me some coding examples of how to draw and communicate with owner drawn buttons (eg. CHoverButton class from www.codeguru.com) on a derived CDialogBar. I am at an impass with this one...

Hi,
does anybody know how can I write a .ico file from a HICON ?
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm currently working on an OLE server (in-place edition). My needs are simple, but a
little bit different than the classic OLE servers. In fact, when the server is invoking
in-place, the user must be able to resize the working area (with dragging the rect corners).
All the tests I made are not compliants, and in bests cases, the server stretchs the
existing metafile, and never increase the working area. Some commercials servers are
able to do that, not mine...
Any ideas, urls, ?
Thanks in advance,
Thierry
PS : excuse-me for my bad english.

I dream to find a very good CHTMLView article.

What exactly are you looking for - any particular subject on CHTMLView ?

Hi Everyone,
This is for both people wishing to request articles, and for people looking for ideas for new articles.
I'll start it off with a request for an article: Can anyone provide a simple class to download a HTML file, with the option of setting a timeout value. (Hint: The fist bit is easy, the second requires a workaround)
|
|
|
|
|
if you know why are you asking?
just do
if(select(....,timeout)==0)
printf("timeout occurred");

Not quite what I was after, and while I might know how to do it, I don't have the time at the moment to write it up. The point is that it would make a great article.

I would download the file with URLDownloadToFile(). In your IBindStatusCallback::OnProgress() implementation, check the time and if it's been too long, return E_ABORT to halt the download.
ATL also has a CBindStatusCallback class, which I just now found, but its description in the docs is a bit messy, so I'm not sure if you could use it to do what you want.

I'm looking for an article that shows me how to use the tree control and or the tree view. I'm spending ages trying to wade through a variety of different MSDN/CodeGuru examples - they all seem so different or too complex - I'm looking for some general advice, a simple article, and of course some simple sample code that works under VC++5.

I would really like to see a article on constraints.

Could you be a bit more specific on what mean by constraints. That term is a bit overloaded.
Thanks.

You can find full information for constraints here
http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/constraints/
both hotdraw and the interviews toolkits use a
constraint system.

I see my previous message was munched. So I will try again.
I have some experience with constraints as defined by your references. Feel free to send me some email if you're interested in chatting.

There's one important common control missing in Windows: e Hex editor to edit binary values (files or strings). I need one for a freeware application i'm developing. If anyone has something useful, please let me know. If not, i'll have to develop it myself.
Good examples of how it could look are the editor for hex files in visual studio and the editor for hex values in regedit.

There's a great hex editor (MFC source included)
here
It's not an ActiveX control, but the author is somewhat interested in turning it into one. It's completely freeware.

Another great editor is called Advanced Hex Editor (A.X.E) and is available here
