Have a look at the _splitpath API function... - Chris ================== The original message was: I've got a set of filenames: some are to files which exist, others are to files which do not exist; some are absolute, others are relative; some are on local drives, others on network drives. I'm looking for a way to extract the drive name from a file path, regardless of any of the above factors. Can anyone give me a pointer of where to look for this? Thanx.

Read up on WM_GETMINMAXINFO. Windows sends this to you as the user is resizing the window. You fill in a MINMAXINFO struct with the min/max sizes, and Windows will not let the window be sized outside of those bounds. --Mike-- ================== The original message was: a window is resizable, but when the length of window excede 300 pixels (for example), it can NOT make larger and stop resizing. How ? Thanks in advanced

I think I've found the problem. CList doesn't provide a copy or an assignement operater witch is needed. So it is not possible to store a clist or a carray within a clist or a carray. But this is what i need!

Hi! There is no any problems of using the AtlComPtrAssign() method if you are creating the ATL project using MSVC wizard (I've tried it). If you are adding ATL support to an existing MFC application you can follow this steps: 1. From ClassView, select the project to which you want to add ATL support, and click the right mouse button. 2. From the popup menu, click New ATL Object. 3. When prompted, click Yes to add ATL support. 4. From the ATL Object Wizard dialog, select the object you want to add. Note If you only want ATL support without adding any ATL objects, click Cancel in the ATL Object Wizard. Good luck, Alex Gorev, Dundas Software. ================== The original message was: Hello, I am trying to add a background image to a control. I was trying to use Mihai Filimon's method (see Adding background image to any control) but I am have 3 link errors, live "unresolved external... AtlComPtrAssign(..) ). I added atl.lib to my project settings. Is there any other thing I might have forgotten to do? Thank you.

Thanks for your kind suggestions Gary. I was using Foxpro ODBC 2.5. Then I used Visual Foxpro ODBC Driver & the problem was solved. ================== The original message was: It will depend on the font that you are using. I assume you are trying to print out characters like the box drawing ones (or foreign language chars). Many of the Windows fonts map only to a small square box (or some other boring shape) for chars above 127. Some of the OEM terminal fonts may be more useful for you. Of course it could be something else that isn't right. You should probably also check if you are using Unicode or not and make sure you are casting your strings with TCHAR - this could impact on it as well. Another thing would be the default language you are using. Regards, Gary Menzel ================== The original message was: I am using vc++ 6.00 and I am using drawtext to output text. I am not able to print characters above ascii 127. I tried to make them unsigned char, I also tried the /J option but nothing happens. Please help me.

CRichEditCtrl::SetSel(startPos, endPos); If you don't want any highlighted text, then make sure that startPos == endPos.

long startChar, endChar; GetRichEditCtrl().GetSel(startChar, endChar); startChar marks the start of the selection and endChar the end. If there is no current selection then the two values will be the same and will indicate the position of the caret.

There are two possible ways of implementing this (that I know of). Both of them include trapping either one or both of the MOUSEMOVE or SETCURSOR messages. You can either trap them at level of the main FrameWnd or in the Button (I would personally prefer to subclass the Button and trap it in there so I could reuse that new button in other parts of my code). In the case of trapping it in the FrameWnd (probably trapping MOUSEMOVE after you know the cursor is in the FrameWnd - using SETCURSOR to set some flag) you then need to work out if the mouse is over the button to change to the IBEAM cursor - as well as not over the button to change it back!!). There are probably other pitfalls to worry about that my simple explanation doesn't cover but they would be the two basic approaches to consider. Regards, Gary Menzel ================== The original message was: How to change mouse cursor to "IDC_IBEAM" when move mouse pass the button?

You may want to have a look at CS-RCS which is based on GNU RCS and integrates with VC++. Their site is http://www.componentsoftware.com/ Neville Franks - Author of ED for Windows www.getsoft.com ================== The original message was: Does anybody knows how to integrate CVS version control with the Visual Devstudio IDE? My company is migrating there right now(BIG mistake), so I am trying to find a civilized way to work with it instead of the command line or WinCVS things... Is there any addin available?

Hi Mike! You should use the #import directive with the name of your TLB file. You can find more information about it in MSDN. Regards, Alex Gorev, Dundas Software. ================== The original message was: I am needing to create a Singleton COM component. This needs to have data served to several programs so of course needs to be an out of process server which leads me to using the ATL EXE server rather than a DLL or a MFC based COM object. It appears that I can create one rather straight forward from the ATL wizard under the new option in Visual Studio 6. However I am missing something. Although I can see the created component in the OleViewer via its TypeLib I can not access it to use in any programs. When trying to add it via "Project/AddtoProject/ComponentsAndControls" I get a message "File Does Not Exist". Any pointers on what I am missing. Thanks Mike.

Have you tried: SendMessage ( hStatusBarWnd, SB_SETTIPTEXT, (WPARAM)(INT)iStatusBarPart, (LPARAM)(LPCTSTR)lpcszTextToDisplayAsTooltip ); code sequence? The status bar window must be created (as in the following example) using g_hStatusBarWnd = CreateWindowEx ( 0L, STATUSCLASSNAME, 0, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | SBT_TOOLTIPS, 0, 0, 0, 0, hParentWnd, (HMENU)ID_STATUSBAR, g_hInstance, 0 ); For more information, you can check the WindowsNT System Manager, where you can find, among other stuff like this, also something about status bar APIs. All the best, Sardaukar ================== The original message was: How could I make status bar to show tool tips for its panes? Regards, Stefan ----------

i'm on 98 not NT and if you can send to mu e-mail some code examples it will be very good. Thierry

Hi! You have to declare the class as "__declspec(dllimport)". And you also have to include the *.LIB file for your DLL. You can do this in the Link section of your project settings or by inserting the pragama in the source code. For example: #pragma comment(lib, "MyClass.lib") Regards, Alex Gorev, Dundas Software. ================== The original message was: I developed a dll with a class exported. In my application, I declare an object of it and call one of its member functions. I got the following link time error: error LNK2001: unsolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public:void __thiscall testclass::function(char const *)" (__imp_?Export@testclass@@QAEXPBD@Z) When I look at the dll, I see ... 314 139 00001131 ?function@testclass@@QAEXPBG@Z Apparently there is a mismatch here. I would like to know the reason of this problem. Any ideas?

The problem does not seem to be with this code. If you dynamically created an object of type CPumpMessageView make sure you destroy the object before the application object terminates. If this is not your problem please post the object dump so that I can better understand the problem.
