Check if different from last selected tab - if true... prompt save and save previous tab... 4. Refresh the information on the new tab... 5. Save new tab selection to variable I hope this helps...

Hi all I have a client recently who wants to create a template for outloof with a reference number (auto-increment) whenever he sends out mail to a particular person. From outlook one can create a template but not the auto number. Anyone have any idea on using VB or any other languages to construct this auto running number template? I have not use VB before but understand from feedback that programming for outlook using VB is the simplest. Thanks in advance. Thomas

Hi I have a problem re tab control. I use onClick to detect a user selection but onClick gives me the last tab and not the selected tab. I have tried using TCN_SELCHANGE but this one does not reflect any changes. I have actually used this method with vc6 and it works. But its not working on the VS2003. UpdateData(TRUE); ctab = m_tab.GetCurSel(); // ctab is to display the selected tab id // refreshing of the appropriate tab details is done here switch(ctab) { case 0://refesh tab 0 break; case 1;// refresh tab 1 break;// ...etc } UpdateData(FALSE); anyone know what might be the problem? Thanks. Thomas

hi all I have an application that creates a ms word document. I need to include the page number. I have posted a similar question last week but this one is more to the point. I have done my research and according to msdn, the function to use is expression.Add(PageNumberAlignment, FirstPage) WdPageNumberAlignment constants: wdAlignPageNumberCenter, wdAlignPageNumberInside, wdAlignPageNumberLeft, wdAlignPageNumberOutside, or wdAlignPageNumberRight I have no problem calling out the header and footer pop up... navigating between header and footer but I am still unable to add the page number. The above function uses the vb constants. Anyone know the c++ equivalent for these? I tried using it in C++ but its a undeclared identifier. Thanks in advance. Thomas

Hi anyone have any idea on how to insert page number into ms word doc. I have an application that creates a report, now I need to include the page number as well. I tried HeaderFooter class and PageNumbers class but ends up with illegal operation msg. Anyone have any idea? :confused: Thanks in advance. :) Thomas

u could try the following CFont font; font.CreateFont(0,0,0,0,FW_NORMAL,FALSE,FALSE,0,ANSI_CHARSET,OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS, CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS,DEFAULT_QUALITY,DEFAULT_PITCH | FF_SWISS,"MS Shell Dlg"); ((CEdit*)GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1))->SetFont(&font); this will change the font in that particular edit box

you might want to try this[^] site... its all abt msolap

tks a lot... don't think I'm able to do it though... guess I'll have to talk to the client again... maybe other alternatives...

set the property of your editbox Number - True

maybe you can use myProcess.CloseMainWindow(); but this only works with application with user interface. It behaves the same as selectign close from the application interface. There will be a user prompt for any unsaved data. but for applications without user interface, you will need to use myProcess.Kill() hope this helps

Hi... just a small suggestion... maybe you can build your application to do a date check upon every execution... as long as there is a difference between this captured date and the saved date... increase your counter by the difference (x) ... take it as the application has been running for x numbers of days... then save this new date... thus even if i were to set the date back 1 week... the program will acknowledge this as the program being used for 1 week... thus when the counter reaches, say 30... the trial period will end... make sure to encrypt the counter value... there is a way to tamper though... that would be for the user to set the date to the same as the first launch date everytime before starting the program... or they found a way to tamper with your counter value... just a suggestion... :)

you can try using kill() to kill the processes you can try searching msdn for "C# kill process"

check your declaration in the .h file most probably you have a different declaration there. void CTCPTestDlg::OnBtnstart(LPVOID lParam) in .cpp afx_msg void OnBtnstart(LPVOID lParam) in .h (if function is auto-generated) void OnBtnstart(LPVOID lParam) in .h (if function is manually generated)

Hi all I have a customer who wants to implement all the password policy available. According to microsoft password policy settings, there's only enable or disable. :confused: - English uppercase characters (A through Z) - English lowercase characters (a through z) - Base 10 digits (0 through 9) - Non-alphabetic characters (for example, !, $, #, %) Is there a guide I can refer to to create a bypass so as to build in all 4 policy settings? :~ Thanks in advance.
