And see HyperLink controls[^]. Smile | :)

If you will always run on XP or later, use the built-in SysLink control. Otherwise, check out CHyperLink in WTL, or any of the other hyperlink controls in the previous posts.

Hi,

ShellExecute(NULL,"open","www.codeproject.com",NULL,NULL,SW_SHOW);

should work Smile | :)

Might b code underneath will help u.

<br />
STARTUPINFO si;<br />
 PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;<br />
 si.cb = sizeof(si);<br />
  ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) );<br />
ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) );<br />
TCHAR str[] = _T("IEXPLORE.EXE http:\\www.codeproject.com");<br />
  CreateProcess(NULL,str,0,0,FALSE,0,0,0,&si,&pi);<br />

This would be bad - what if the user's default browser is firefox?

It's one of my pet peeves about programs like Live Messenger (though they're at least MS programs, so a bias is understandable)

struct definition

I wonder if somebody could remind me the method of defining a struct where you can set the bits of a member directly, without using the bitwise OR or bitshift operators. ie. I have a struct with 2 members

struct foo
{
BYTE Repaint;
BYTE Offset;
};

The offset member requires only 4 bits, and the repaint only 1. Idealy they could be combined so that the Repaint member uses the high order bit of the same BYTE. I remember seeing a way to do this, possibly using a union, but I cannot remember how or where I saw it.

Add the number of bits after the member names:

struct foo
{
  BYTE Repaint:1;
  BYTE Offset:4;
};

Thanks Mike, that's exactly what I was looking for. Can't think why I thought a union had something to do with it, possibly one of MS's wierd structs...

There is usefulness in using a union as well.

Below is a code snippet from my software:

union __ChannelsOn
{
    BYTE    Mask;
    struct {
        BYTE    On1 : 1;
        BYTE    On2 : 1;
        BYTE    On3 : 1;
        BYTE    On4 : 1;
        BYTE    OnTOF   : 1;
        BYTE    Unused  : 1;
        BYTE    MasterOn: 1;
        BYTE    ScanOn  : 1;
    } Bits;
} ChannelsOn;

This is mirroring a register in some hardware I talk to. I can set the variable by twiddling individual bits:

ChannelsOn.Bits.MasterOn = 1<code>, and also use it as a whole byte...   <code>SendStuffToHardware (...., ChannelsOn.Mask, ....);

So, while its not a linked language construct, it's often handy.

Unions can also be usedto ensure the overall variable ends up the correct size.

Iain.

I am having trouble understanding what it is your trying to accomplish, however I believe you want to manipulate the bits in these bytes indirectly without accessing struct members, although I can't imagine why you would want to do this. Perhaps you have a high performance application and are attempting to shave off a few operations in a critical function.

If speed is your goal, then you should work with the fastest datatype on a 32 bit operating system, sizeof(int). On a modern Intel Core 2 Duo the following function is the fastest, you should define bit masks in your application. The function does not generate any branching op codes, quite fast.

unsigned int bitset(unsigned int bits,unsigned int mask,bool flag)
{
	bits = (bits & ~mask) | (-flag & mask);
}

Best Wishes,

\\.\ is used when opening a device or device driver on the local computer. The dot is used in place of a computer name.
