You're describing features of the hardware, it needs somehow to show a non standard interface to Windows, so Windows cannot tell what it is, but your software will know how to interact with it.

I need help encrypting a string with Crypto++, RSA encryption. I downloaded it and integrated in my solution.
I have the keys in hex strings. All the samples I found read the keys from files or sign messages (I want to encrypt the string, not sign it).
Thanks

They hide that information in the documentation[^]

Hi
In which scenarios would COM connection points be preferred to Windows Messaging (like regsisterwindowsmessage,postmessage) ?
Thanks

Perhaps if you provide the list of "scenarios" we can filter it for you.

In general:
Whenever you want a COM server to notify its client you should use connection points or preferably your own source interface.
More detailed explanation:
When you design COM servers you should always design with distribution in mind, i.e. your server may be used remotely from a different machine using DCOM. In this case you cannot send/post windows messages to the client.
Furthermore your server may be created in a UI-thread that may not necessarily have a window.
Tip of the day: 
Regarding the concept of connection points even the COM authority Don Box recommends not to use connection points in his book "Effective COM"[^], but rather your own source interface.

I'm having the problem in an application I made in VC6 and Windows2003.
In Windows2003 works fine, but when I put the app in the WindowsXP where it has to be, it doesn't work.
I installed all the VStudio6 with the SP6 as I have it in Window2003, and still not working.
Something I noticed in the XP machine;
When I make a new project in VC6 and select a Windows Application -> Hello World Example, works ok.
BUT, I open the Example About Dialog it generates, and add a ProgressBar or a ListControl; when I run it, it runs, but the About Dialog si not load.
In my original App, I'm using a ListControl and a ProgressBar, so thats the problem......
Is there anybody that can help me ?
Guillermo.

I just tried in another XP and another Windows2003
and the same.
In XP doesn't work and in W2003 yes. :'( ¡Strange!

Are you calling InitCommonControls() (or InitCommonControlsEx()) somewhere BEFORE using any
controls?

I didn't explicitly add the InitCommonControls, it's necesary? cause in W2003 works. shouldn't be needed in W2003 also??
Where should I add it in the code ?
I read in MSDN something about it; it said the that problem with initcommoncontrols was in VC5 and that in VC6 was solved, so, if I need to add it; where should I put it?
in WinMain? or just before the DialogBox Call ?
Thnx!

2003 may have a DLL that pulls in the common control DLL automatically.
It doesn't hurt to call InitCommonControls() though 
WinMain is fine. Give it a try!

Great!!!
The InitCommonControls() did the job!!!
Another thing that makes me think is why in w2003 works, if the
#include "commctrl.h" nor the link to comctl32.lib where added previously.
But well...
Adding the link to comctl32.lib and the include commctrl.h and the InitCommonControls Call, works!!!!
Thanx a lot.

Those need to be there for your project to compile and link.
At runtime, however, ComCtl32.dll needs to be loaded. That's all InitCommonControls does - makes
a call into the DLL which forces it to be loaded if it isn't already. That's why I think if
it worked on 2003, that a system DLL causes the ComCtl32.dll to be loaded so it's already there
when you create your controls.
Glad it worked!

Hi,
I have placed a static Text Common control, can i set the alignment of text present in that text box, I have found right align text option but couldn't find center alignment option, does any one know about it.
Warm Regards,
Mushq

If you placed it on a dialog in the resource editor, then select the control, press F4 to get the
properties window for the control. Find the Align Text property - you should be able to set it
to left, center, or right.
For a programmatically-placed control, add the SS_LEFT, SS_CENTER, or SS_RIGHT style when creating
the control.

Is there any STL container for array?
|
|
|
|

the std::vector is a dynamic array.
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

If you are looking for a static size array, there is also boost::array[^].
Extra note: boost::array is in TR1[^], so if VC++ supported it, you could have used std::tr1::array by including "tr1/array" (this works in gcc), but until then, if you decide to use boost, you can include "boost/tr1/array.hpp" and use std::tr1::array (instead of boost::array).

How can I ensure that the memory allocated by new gets deleted even if if do not give a delete operator.

They'll manage deletion of the memory for you. But use it only when you need them, not putting them everywhere just because you are lazy
