I need a GetClusterSize function so that I can work out how much space a file will occupy on a particular disk.

The WIN32 function GetDiskFreeSpace should do this but doesn't work for large disks. The replacement, GetDiskFreeSpaceEx, doesn't have this capability.

So what do I do?

Target is any WIN32, VC++ 6, MFC.

Hello,
is there a way to make a HFONT out of a TTF file? without installing the font? (I need a font for my project, but I don't want to mess up with the installation - and I also want it to be working when the user reinstalls the OS and keeps the app)

thanks a lot

try and take a look at AddFontFile(...) which maps to GdipPrivateAddFontFile(...) in GDI+.

Do a search on MSDN for the functions i mentioned or try "Font Functions" in the search box.

How can I rename an NT user using the ADSI(Active Directory Service Interfaces)? The IADs::SetInfo method can only change user's fullname not rename a user.

hi all!
Mu problem is to draw the scrolbars on my application.
It is realized with mfc and it is MDI.

I wanto to draw the scrollbars on the child window when I load an image larger than the window.

I try to edit code in the ChilFrm.cpp file and i wrote this:

BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
if( !CMDIChildWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
return FALSE;
cs.style |= WS_VSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL;

return TRUE;
}

In this way the two scrollbar appear, but they don't do anything.

can you help me?

thks a sorry for my english

yes it will coz you are enableing both the scroll bars...

you need to use setscrollrange method to start working on the scrollbar...

Now i want the they appear only when i load an image that is larger than the window. I see that exist the ShowScrollBar function, but it give me a runtime error, always!I put the code in the precreatewindow of the childFrm class.

can you explain me? Confused | :confused:

I am using the Win32 toolbar common control in some code. When I resize the window that the toolbar is parented to it flickers. Is there any way to stop this?
The toolbar's parent window is created with no brush, and returns false for WM_ERASEBKGND. Is there some thing special about the way I need to handle the toolbar itself?

Thanks

Check that your main window has the WS_CLIPCHILDREN style.

I checked, and all of my controls have the WS_CLIPCHILDREN bit set, the main window, and the any custom child control's that get created (the toolbar's parent is a custom child control)

Hey there

I've just started to learn programming and using visual basic 6 (teaching myself) would really appreciate it if someone could explain to me how it is that variables work and exactly how to use them as this part has got me stumped.

Thanx a million

since this is a VB6 Q.
you should send it to the vb forum not vc++

anyway :
you use variables to store some data in memory for processing...

for example..

dim a as single
dim b as single
dim c as single 'here i made 3 place holders in memory for single variables.

a=CSng(Text1.Text) 'read data from Text1 into memory location called a
b=CSng(Text2.Text) 'read data from Text1 into memory location called b
c=(a+b)/2 'get the avarage of the two numbers and store it in c for latter use

MsgBox c 'use the variable c

You have asked this question before. A quick look in MSDN will reveal a host of functions that you could use to find the CWnd pointer to the window you want to send the message to. Look up CWnd, CFrameWnd, CSplitterWnd, CView, and CDocument. Read what each of the member functions does, and find the ones that will do what you want.

I have had to use the CBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE style instead of the CBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED style to get the DrawItem function to work. I do not know why CBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED did not work.

Hi,

I want to use SMTP (sendmail) to send email where the body is an HTML document rather than plain text, is this possible and if so how do I go about doing it? I haven't been able to find any sample code other than plain text emails.

Regards

Robert Cooper

HTML is "plain" text, you send it the same way as an unformatted text message. Just change the "Content-type:" header from "text/plain" to "text/html".

problem with dll

In a dll, I define a class in the following way:

<br />
class _declspec(dllexport) jalla {<br />
	std::list<int> m_mesh;<br />
};<br />

but when I try to compile it, I get the warning:

<br />
e:\Work\C++\Project\3DGame\3DSLoader.h(19) : warning C4251: 'jalla::m_mesh' : class 'std::list<_Ty>' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'jalla'<br />
        with<br />
        [<br />
            _Ty=int<br />
        ]<br />

what is happening?

It means that the instance std::list<int> needs to have a dllexport attribute on it in order to be safely usable by clients. Just like you are tagging jalla with dllexport.

As you may understand, exposing STL datatypes through a DLL interface is not easy. I don't know any good workarounds for it, other than using a non templated and exportable type/class. Sorry. Frown | :(
