    I don't really use the Doc/View system, but if I understand correctly, you are making the control a child of the view rather than a child of the "frame". If the control is a child of the frame, it will not be repositioned when the view is scrolled (it is a sibling rather than a child of the view). Ray

    Yes - this site! Well - not quite but in the next few weeks we'll be adding more site-building scripts to help you build your own sites.

    If you could really give me the example code, I really appreciate it. Btw, it is not a win32 app, is it? Because I am really new at this DirectX stuff, and I already have my project half done in an MFC dialog-based app. All I need to do now is the ability to play a movie clip file (non-streaming) using DirectShow. Once again, thanks a lot.

    Developing Professional Java Applets, by K.C. Hopson and Stephen E. Ingram, ISBN 1-57521-083-5 had examples of how to display graphics with various file formats. There shouldn't be too much difference in doing this for an applet or an application. I even saw code at one time that would let you use the same source code as both an application and an applet. There should also be several examples on the web. I know I've run across quite a few discussion on graphics topics like double buffering. It shouldn't matter too much if the examples you run across are for applets either. The graphics techniques will most likely be the same.

    I'm not sure if this is a subscription area of the Microsoft site or not (I access it through work where we have access to both) but there's a great series of articles that discusses C++ exceptions. Everything you want to know about exceptions and more - it's a 17 part series. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?URL=/library/welcome/dsmsdn/deep051099.htm

  • Dynamic translation of application

    Working on developing international applications myself, I'd say (assuming you have the source-code) that you should re-write some small parts of your code to ensure all strings are within a resource file or a language DLL and you replace all of your string initialisations with a call to retrieve a given enumerated string from there. Hot switching languages then becomes a case of switching between DLL's and is a damn sight easier (assuming you can re-initalise all of your user-interface components). I have a derived CString class that stops me from being lazy, since it must retrieve information from such a source. If you don't have the source code then your results, with the proposed solution, will be variable at best! Many strings are concatinated and decorated with information on the fly... automatic translation of these, especially where word order or tenses can change as the result of some other setting would make this very hard!

    A colleague of mine and I am currently working just a thing. We are developing three C++ classes that will use the ODBC API to access database information. The classes will be named something like: CODBCTable CODBCDatabase CODBCDriver Not exactly sure when they will be finished, depends how much time we can dedicate to the project.
