How do i make a pointer to point to a function. and i hope to have this pointer to be able to point to several type of functions? like CString getDate(); CString getMonth(int i); how can make a pointer to point either to these two functions?? thanxs in advance

Do i need to upgrade my win98 to use the platform SDK may 2002? The compiler complained that RC.exe the resource compiler requires a newer version of windows. Anyone???

Where can i download the windows platform sdk just for the use of Internet Protocol Helper or do i need to download the full CORE SDK from http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/ problem is that the SDK is kinda of big and i just need specifically the Internet Protocol Helper API. anyone? thanxs in advance

Out of topic. Interesting to see someone from C# coming to C++. Job requirements make you do this, or our of shear interest?

It should not be a problem to create a CFormView can be seen from this example http://www.microsoft.com/msj/defaultframe.asp?page=/msj/0998/c++0998.htm&nav=/msj/0998/newnav.htm

dumb me. Can be done with SetColumnInfo and SetRowInfo. Leave this thread here, just in case someone needs it :)

Why not just use a dialog box instead?

How do i change the size of the split view? I tried this. m_splitWnd.GetPane(0,0)->SetWindowPos(NULL,0,0,10,10,SWP_NOMOVE); m_splitWnd.RecalcLayout(); does'nt seems to work. Anyone?

you can try reading this http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/01/11/c/c0111.asp

take a look here http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/index.asp#General or more specifically http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/splasher.asp hope this helps. Or u can just use a thread to close a modaless dialog box after a certain amount of time.

What api should i be using to determine how much data was transferred or currently transferring for a network adapter?

Let's say the button is called IDC_BUTTON1 So i guess by now u should know how to do a event for IDC_BUTTON1? Hook on the msg BN_CLICKED. So let's say you have assigned the combobox to a variable called m_comboBox. This can be done thru class wizard. You would get void ClassName::OnButton1 { m_comboBox.AddString("....");// Your random data } Hope this helps.

Anyone worked with ETSLayoutFormView? the scrollbars does not seems to appear. I guess SetScrollSizes(MM_TEXT, CSize(cx,cy)); in OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy) is causing the scrollbar to be made for the size of the window and not the size of the form itself. Anyone?Thanxs in advance.

Ah found it :) http://www.codeguru.com/misc/NITpick.html Just need to enable the annotate item with ID. Any other programs?

Any program that does this? This is required when i want to know the resource symbol/ID of the control on the dialog quickly. I hate clicking on properties and finding out what the symbol is. This is used for ETSLayout, when i'm adding the controls to the panes. Thanxs in advance!

I need to restrict the resizing of the SDI application. I tried the method found in http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/mdibackgroundimage.asp to hook on to WM_SIZING and it worked. But i was wondering whether there was any other way, any msg i could overload? tried all the PreTranslateMessage and ProcessMessageFilter message map, but it did'nt work. This is a slightly modified one from winamp plugin. very slightly. i just wanted

WNDPROC pfnOldWndProc;

// new one

LRESULT CALLBACK pfnNewWndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)
{
CRect rect;

switch (uMsg)	{
case WM\_SIZING :
	if ((wParam==WMSZ\_BOTTOMLEFT) || (wParam==WMSZ\_BOTTOMRIGHT))
		wParam=WMSZ\_BOTTOM;
	else if ((wParam==WMSZ\_TOPLEFT) || (wParam==WMSZ\_TOPRIGHT))
		wParam=WMSZ\_TOP;
	GetWindowRect(hwnd,rect);
	((RECT\*)lParam)->left= rect.left;
	((RECT\*)lParam)->right = rect.right;
	break;
}
return CallWindowProc(pfnOldWndProc, hwnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);

}

and in InitInstance()

HWND hMain = GetActiveWindow();
pfnOldWndProc = (WNDPROC)GetWindowLong(hMain, GWL\_WNDPROC);
SetWindowLong(hMain, GWL\_WNDPROC, (long)pfnNewWndProc);

Thanxs. it's really a good addon for visual c++. Thanxs again! P.S. I think i'm getting spoilt by Visual Assist :)

As above, is there any thing i need to follow in order for it to work? Sometime it works sometime it does'nt. Thanxs

Thanxs that did work. But still the controls in the FormView still have invalid handle to the window, it seems that the controls were not properly intialized to the correct window when it was replaced. i used the code from UsefulSplitterWnd,ReplaceView() CCreateContext context; BOOL bSetActive; if ((GetPane(row,col)->IsKindOf(pViewClass))==TRUE) return FALSE; // Get pointer to CDocument object so that it can be used in the creation // process of the new view CDocument * pDoc= ((CView *)GetPane(row,col))->GetDocument(); CView * pActiveView=GetParentFrame()->GetActiveView(); if (pActiveView==NULL || pActiveView==GetPane(row,col)) bSetActive=TRUE; else bSetActive=FALSE; // set flag so that document will not be deleted when view is destroyed pDoc->m_bAutoDelete=FALSE; // Delete existing view ((CView *) GetPane(row,col))->DestroyWindow(); // set flag back to default pDoc->m_bAutoDelete=TRUE; // Create new view context.m_pNewViewClass=pViewClass; context.m_pCurrentDoc=pDoc; context.m_pNewDocTemplate=NULL; context.m_pLastView=NULL; context.m_pCurrentFrame=NULL; CreateView(row,col,pViewClass,size, &context); CView * pNewView= (CView *)GetPane(row,col); if (bSetActive==TRUE) GetParentFrame()->SetActiveView(pNewView); RecalcLayout(); GetPane(row,col)->SendMessage(WM_PAINT); return TRUE; Anyone?

Nope, no response for breakpoint in OnUpdate().. :(
