Hi, Could you get a solution? If you did, can you please explain it to me? thanks krishna

I'm using XML for program information, and found it to be quite flexible: I'm using a small XML document to store a set of database file names and server information for something like this....when I ask the program to open an XML file, I inspect the contents of the file, determine what is in it, and open the database files specified in the XML document. The amount of code to pull and save information into the XML document is much more than I wish it were (it took about 100 lines of code to wrap a simple 3 item XML document and allow the object to be persisted). I've not yet devised a "better" mouse trap, but there are a couple ways to make life easier: One possible solution would be to write a class generator based on an XML document, but I suspect that would be a never ending battle, and might not help much....

It appears that Anonymous posting works just fine... :cool:

Does anyone know where I can get the ActiveX Designer SDK? Thanks, Italo S Weiss

Heh, I wanted to be the first to try it out.

I may not be the only one, but I don't understand your question. joint file? Is your website on dope?

Yeah, how 'bout Microsoft's C#.

CString str; conversion -> LPCSTR(str);

Hi, Does anyone know how to create child windows/controls in Visual C++ from an Add-In? I've seen an add-in that makes Visual C++ look like Visual Basic by adding similar dialog bars, etc.. How can I do that? Maybe there's COM interface for that?

Hi, I'm coding a Visual C++ Add-In, and I want to add a child window, from my Add-In, to Visual C++. How can I do that? How do I add docking control bar? Thanks.

Thanks, but this doesn't help much, because what I'm trying to do is create a child window (or a child dialog bar) to a window from another process. Therefore, I have only a CWnd object of that outer window but can't get its CFrameWnd.

Hi, I'm writing an Add-In for Visual C++. I want to create a docking dialog bar of my own, that will dock the Visual C++ window (similarly to the class/resource/file view dialog bar that's already there), but have absolutely no idea how to idea. I've seen another Add-In that did it (it's commercial, so that there's no source code). There's an Add-In on this site (WinTabs) which implements a docking tab control. I tried to look for the way it was done, but the code is rather complicated and big. I'm not even sure whether it would work for a dialog bar. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks.

I am trying to get a pointer to a control in a dialog from a non-Windows class. I would like to update check boxes in a dialog from a parsing class that detects different strings and checks them off in a dialog when received. Do I get a pointer to the base class CWnd or CFrameWnd or CButton class.

subject says it all
