Hello Richard,

I am using the colorpic which is downloaded from the link below.

http://www.iconico.com/colorpic/[^]

if you move the mouse over any place, the application will display the color values.

Regards,
A. Gopinath.

I do not understand. You already have the required values in a text file so why do you need a colour picker.

This color picker is only for checking the color values.
this is nowhere related with the application.

So what does any of this have to do with your problem?

Just need to know that will there be a color difference in visibility with application created in VC++ 6.0 and VC++ 2010.

No difference, assuming your code is correct: RGB values are constants.

Could it be different default palettes?

onwards and upwards...

Hi,
step by step I am creating a Visual Studio Style IDE Project, but I am running in a bunch of problems.

My application is MDI based, created in Visual Studio Style with Project Wizard.

Further I added functionality for viewing different views for each document.
For this views I need to set an application specific Windows title.

Actually I found hints how to solve:

BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
    cs.style &= ~(LONG) FWS_ADDTOTITLE;  
    return CFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs);
...

CMyView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
    CView::OnInitialUpdate();
    GetParent()->SetWindowsText(_T("myText"));

But it works only partially. The default view's title disappears, but my own one is not displayed.
The title in the tab header is empty after the changes.

Maybe it is because my view is a splitter view or the ChildFrame is with a Tab Control.
I have no idea, how to solve. Anybody, who has an idea?
Many Thanks!

Does this even compile?

uups...sorry...the source code I have written manually on the post, because my development environment is on another computer. but in principal it is according to what I have programmed

oh...many thanks for the link!

finally it works now!

according to the link I override:

void CMainFrame::OnUpdateFrameTitle( BOOL bAddToTitle )

but this is affecting the application main title.

but overriding

void CChildFrame::OnUpdateFrameTitle( BOOL bAddToTitle )

does exactely what I need!

many thanks for your help! I searched already at least 2 hours for a solution!

Hi,

I want to perform system restore programmatically either using VC++ or powershell.
I have tried using '

SystemRestore

' WMI class (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa378925(v=vs.85).aspx[^]) and

VB

Restore-Computer

(https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849845.aspx[^])

But both triggers a reboot.
Could you please help to find whether there is another option that restores the system without a reboot?

Regards,
Krishnakumartg

There is no such option. Restoring the system involves replacing system files, which will be in use. The only way to replace them is to reboot.

Is it not possible even if the restore point has has no system files (d:\, e:\ etc)?

Regards,
Krishnakumar

Unlikely. The files might still be in use, or the state of the system might depend on their contents.

Just out of curiosity, why?

Hi all,
I have started a project for an IDE using MFC Visual Studio Style Project.
I want to change the standar title of the FileView pane.
for this I changed the IDS_FILE_VIEW text.
But the result is not like expected.

On initial startup at top of the pane the new title is displayed correctly, but at button tabs there is still the old name "File View".
And if I switch between the tabs, the old name is displayed on pane's top too. In the whole project I cannot find other locations of the "File View" string, therefore I do not have any idea, how to change the behaviour!
Any ideas?

Basically code is from previous project my tutor helped me develop unfortunately I can no longer contact him, but I'm working on similar project which I did a simple object that moves around on screen, I pasted a pre-existing Direct X tool kit that my teacher gave me and imported it in as a project and did the linker with my other project but it's giving me the linker errors. Please kindly fix this there's no coding errors, also if possible please explain with screenshots what was wrong so I would remember for next time, thank you.

No. Please at least post these "linker errors" of which you speak. Plus which compiler, OS, etc. you are using.

From the first line, it looks you need the DirectXTK[^]. I see no prebuilt binaries there, probably you have to build it yourself from the sources.

Correct, I built it myself, can you show me or guide me on how to build it?, I need the simplemath.h files also included.

I would read the provided 'documentation', that is the Readme.txt file.

See here.

Hi all,

I am starting to create a framework/IDE for special type of project files.
The GUI like Visual Studio would be perfect for my needs and it can be easily created wih assistance from MFC Application Wizard (Options: "MFC" + "Multiple Documents" + "Doc/View Architecture" + "Visual Studio Project Style")

But this solves only the "surface"...internally I need another structure...I have only one document, but I need to create a bunch of views for the document.
In the "File Explorer" view there should be viewed the structure of the document and in the child view area there should be viewed all views (like the "Tabbed Documents"), related to the document.

But I have absolutely no idea, how to solve this!

Are the any examples, I could use as templates? Or are there any general ideas, how to solve?

Many Thanks

Richard
