Right. That's what happens with a dialog-based application. Since you did not specify, I erroneously assumed at least an SDI application.

Hi thanks

I got it!
It was because i was using DoModal().
I called creat() in the constructor. made the property of dialog window to invisible. thats all.
Now its working fine.

Thank your very mcuh.

When posting, it usually helps to denote whether it is a modal or modeless dialog!

When I do a printout of a VB form from the file menu “Print” option, my custom ActiveX control is not printed. Is it a problem in the VB or am I missing something in my custom ActiveX control?

Please help Cry | :((

This is a C++ forum so I think you won't have a lot of success here. Try the VB forum...

Hello !
I'm writing my own wizard. I need to add dynamically new pages to the wizard so it will be a little bit hard to use CPropertySheet and CPropertyPage. I just want to know a good solution to display one dialog in my wizard and then display another one (when the user travels through the different pages).
So how can I 'embbed' my dialog in my wizard ?
Thank you

I think you can add pages to a property sheet dynamically, depending on the situation (with AddPage )

If your wizard is really complex, do it manually, insert "pages" as you go; it's not that difficult to do.

Here's a way to add child dialogs to a dialog : http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/CRHChildDialog.asp

Thanks for your response.
I don't have a big experience with CPropertySheets and wizard mode but I think this won't be possible. Here is what I need:
The first 'dialog' I need to show in my Wizard is used to select several devices that need to be configured. So, at startup I just have one single page in my wizard, all the other pages will be used for configuring the devices I have selected in the first page (!!! but the Next button need to be first in gray and when devices are selected it becomes selectable).
When the wizard is displayed (DoModal) I cannot interract with it from the outside. So if I want to add a page, I need to do it from within the class (so need to derive a class from CPropertySheet).
As I don't have experience with that, I'll ask if you think all these kind of things are possible ??

Thank you

Reading and writing to com ports (even virtual ones) is the same as reading and writing to files.

If you take a look here[^] on MSDN it describes reading and writing to serial ports.

Hi.

I’m a VC++ developer and writing all kind of applications. Now I’m in need to know how I can make programs to interact with Office programs. For e.g. how do I (programmatically) create a new word document, append some lines and saves it?
I have made wrappers of some Office-dll’s but don’t really know how to use them.

change variable value

Hi!
I have a variable declared like this in my application:
int i = 2;

What I want to do is to change the value from 2 to 3 (with the help of another exe application) without recompiling...
Well I have the file offset which is 5030 but I don't know how to change it!
Can someone help me?
Thank you very much for your answers in advance!

Well... I am a beginner ...

You really don't want to be doing that.

If your program needs a parameter, which another program must change, then there are a whole bunch of sensible ways to achieve that. A fairly good idea might be to use the registry.

#include <beer.h>

Scozturk31-Aug-04 2:05

31-Aug-04 2:05

yes I could use something like that or just append the variable values at the end of the exe and read them from there but I am making an installer and I want to use that for the password...
I don't really understand what the file offset is... is it just a position or something like a pointer?

Well... I am a beginner ...

The standard approach is to store the password value in encrypted form in an inifile or registry. When the program asks for the password, it encrypts the user's input and compare the encypted user's input with the encrypted password from registry. If they are equal, the user's password is correct.
For encrypting, you should use SHA hashing algorithm. Try google for 'SHA C++ library'.

A much simpler way would be to store it in the file's resource table. See this article for ideas.
