Re: Operator for casting a class to void*

Something like:

class MyClass
{
public:
    operator LPVOID() const
    {
        return ???;
    }
};

Since you did not tell us anything about your class, I obviously don't know what that method needs to return.

Here is a partial clip for switching toolbars, from "The MFC Answer Book":

UINT nIDFrom = ::GetWindowLong( pBarFrom->GetSafeHwnd(), GWL_ID );
UINT nIDTo = ::GetWindowLong( pBarTo->GetSafeHwnd(), GWL_ID );

::SetWindowLong( pBarFrom->GetSafeHwnd(), GWL_ID, nIDTo );
::SetWindowLong( pBarTo->GetSafeHwnd(), GWL_ID, nIDFrom );

pFrame->ShowControlBar( pBarFrom, FALSE, bDelay );
pFrame->ShowControlBar( pBarTo, bVisible, bDelay );

This example is used to switch between toolbars that only differ in the size of the buttons. It could also be used to switch between a toolbar that contains image buttons and one that uses test buttons instead.

I hope that helps!

it doesnt seems to be mfc. but its simply call api functions:
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);

Get SystemMetrics will do the trick, if you'd like to substract the taskbar of other toolbars => use SystemParametersInfo.

CWnd::GetDesktopWindow()->GetWindowRect (...);

Although this will return the same screen size regardless of the presence of app bars. You probably want the size of the workspace.

Have you used CF_UNICODETEXT as the format when you copied the data into the clipboard?

I paste the text from the MS Word document. The CEdit supports only the CF_TEXT format.

find your office "compiled help" file. This file has the .chm extension.
Here you can read up about the objects ...

It will not really get you started though.
Search on MSDN and google and idd hope that somebody has a sample code.

good luck.

MSDN article Q178749 has an Excel example. Step 9 is the important one as you'll use Word's type library instead of Excel's. Creating an instance of the (Word) _Application object and using its methods will be the same, though.

_Application app;
app.CreateDispatch(_T("Word.Application"));
Documents docs = app.GetDocuments();
CString strFilename(_T("A letter to home.doc"));
_Document doc = docs.Open(COleVariant(strFileName), ...);
...

Thanks a lot for the answers but now i get a new problem:

I added word's type library, with classes _Application, _Document and Documents. I tryied to import the .h files but don't work.
I don't understand.
Thanks

You should have included, not imported, msword9.h, preferably in the project's stdafx.h file.

I write "import" but i used correctly the "include". I don't have msword9.h but only CApplication.h, CDocuemnts.h and CDocuments0.h
I added the .h files like you say in the stdafx.h but don't work.

David Crow9-Aug-04 5:31

When you added Word's type library, it would have created a .h and a .cpp file and added those to the project. Can you confirm this?
