Yes - it looks cool - I have watched a few tutorials and that seems very elegant! Thanks

It's POSIX according to the man page[^]. One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I grew up in Arlington, just a 77 bus away from the Square. Now I live in West Michigan. Great beaches (and great views on the beaches, and I'm not talking about the sunset), but if houses weren't 5x as expensive (seriously) I'd move back in a heartbeat. (I see enough provincial UK talk here it's time for the provincial Bostonians to get in on it!)

Thanks for your pointers - the one about calling JS from C++ is particularly interesting... this is not exactly what I am looking for but I may find a way around...

BadJerry wrote: I respectfully disagree - it should be an Explorer settings - the browser simply asking if you want to save or open the file... Sorry, but your original question was not clear. You mention associating a file type with your application, then talk about downloading files and sending them to your application. Could you clarify exactly how you expect this process to operate, including the interaction (or interdependency) between your application and the browser?

BadJerry wrote: using Javascript to get the broswer version The actual version of the browser is contained in the navigator.userAgent property and is typically extracted with a regular expression. For instance one of my test machines is still running Internet Explorer 6.0. The userAgent field returns the following: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) To extract the version information you can use the following: var exp = new RegExp("MSIE ([0-9]{1,}[\.0-9]{0,})"); var version = 0; if (null != exp.exec(navigator.userAgent)) { version = parseFloat( RegExp.$1 ) } 1300 calories of pure beef goodness can't be wrong!

Oh - and you can use ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI_RANGE[^] to register one handler for multiple command IDs in one go. Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

oh thanks for pointing this out - I meant custom control - gee not my day!

Do you check the utf8 values in pstrValue are correct? Correct utf8 value for Euro sign is "0xe2, 0x82, 0xac". Also, if you check the pBuffer using C runtime function like printf, you should set locale properly before calling printf through setlocale function. I test your code but it runs correctly.

Do you mean that your control is a CWnd which hosts 2 edits and that tab and is a child window of another window? If so, make your "host" CWnd WS_CONTROLPARENT and also make it WS_TABSTOP. Hope that helps, good luck. > The problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do and not what you want them to do. <

Thanks for this - and great blog as well. I have bookmarked it!

Yes that's the direction we're going towards I think... I simply it won't be too slow. If it proves to of any interest for the community, I'll report back. Keep watching this column! Ta!
