Hi George,

Yep, you are right. Although I must say that in today's implementation there is no difference between int and long (they both are 4 bytes)

I tried with

long int li = 0xFFFFFFFFL;
unsigned long int uli = 0xFFFFFFFFL;
printf( "%ld %ld\n", li, uli );

short int si = 0xFFFF;
unsigned short int usi = 0xFFFF;
printf( "%d %d\n", si, usi );

And the result was
-1 -1
-1 65535

- NS -

Hi All,

I have an application which updates itself when new version is available . But thises updates are having a problem if the app is run by a user having non admin rights , as the service alters the files in %program Files% folder , registry settings while updating . if the user is a non admin then these processes fail and thus the update fails . Is there any way by which i can find if the logged in user is a administrator or not ? so that i dont allow updates for a non admin user ???

Smile | :)

Thanks in Advance

it is declared in ShlObj.h and is located in the dll shell32.dll. You need to install platfor sdk to class this function. Optionally you can dynamically load the dll and call it with the help of LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress().

Depends on the version of Visual Studio - the function was added for W2k. It is included in the VS2005 headers.

Why wizards generate enum IDD for dialogs?

NiceNaiduCan somebody tell me the reason ,Why wizards generate enum IDD for dialogs?

The IDD enum of a dialog class contains the ID of dialog in the resource.

enum { IDD = IDD_MYDLG_DIALOG };

This IDD is passed in the constructor of your dialog to CDialog constructor.

CMyDlg::CMyDlg(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/)<br />
	: CDialog(CMyDlg::IDD, pParent)<br />
{<br />
}

You can simply get the ID of the dialog with a statement like CMyDlg::IDD

So when creating a dialog, we can use like

CMydlg dlg;<br />
dlg.Create( CMydlg::IDD, 0 )

Instead of

CMydlg dlg;<br />
Dlg.Create( IDD_MYDLG_DIALOG, 0 )

When MFC was initially developed a statement like the below one was not supported.

Class CMyDlg: public CDialog<br />
{<br />
  ....<br />
<br />
  public:<br />
  static const DWORD IDD = IDD_MYDLG_DIALOG;<br />
}

Also the trick of keeping an enum doesnt increase the memory size of object Smile | :)

CHTMLView and Compound File (IStorage)

Hi,

My problem is that I dont want to have my HTML files unprotected as simple files that everyone can view them.

So, Is there anyway to use with CHTMLView, HTML files that are stored in Compound File (IStorage) directly (without extracting them in a temp file)? Alternately is there any other method to use CHTMLView with HTMLs files that are protected in some way ?

I checked up the standard Windows Help *.CHM format but i think its too much complicated to use a such kind of solution.

Any ideas ?

What do you mean exactly ? Your question isn't clear at all. Are you looking for something like an union ?
