so, to help you, i would say that the C++ standard includes some classes and functions into the std namespace. In fact, be careful to the diference between the folowing directives : No. The iostream.h library is only the Microsoft fake of STL iostream and now is obsolete. so, if you use std:: and you don't want to call it each time you want a function defined inside (for example printf("Hello world !") instead of std::printf("Hello world !")) you'd prefer the command line printf is a function from stdio.h, not iostream.

Shouldn't it be: if (lstrcmpiW(szName, L"Output") == 0) or if (lstrcmpiW(szName, _T("Output")) == 0) A rich person is not the one who has the most, but the one that needs the least.

Go to Project->Add Resource menu item. Select "String Table" and Hit "New". The string editor should come up where you can add strings. To retrieve them: Using MFC: CString strText((LPCTSTR)IDS_MY_TEXT); or CString strText; strText.LoadString( IDS_MY_TEXT ); Non-MFC: TCHAR pszText[MAX_TEXT]; ::LoadString( GetModuleHandle(NULL), IDS_MY_TEXT, pszText, MAX_TEXT ) ____________________________________________ Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

You have some sort of a header file included that declares the function/structure specified in the first error. However, you are not linking against a suitable library. Check your project settings and the function that causes the error (HelloPollMessage::Send). When you find the missing function, see it's reference for the library to link with. The second error if of similar sorts, however, it just says that it cannot find the definition of 'basic_string' class. Make sure you are linking against the standard C/C++ library files. Of course, you could check the VS .Net help files for the new features of ATL version 7 to see if some note there would explain your problem. The final option is to copy the ATL library files from VC++ 6.0 and link against them instead of the version 7 ones. -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.

Hi, See the article how to create IShellLink in Desktop http://www.codeproject.com/shell/desktopshortcut.asp With Regards, R.Selvam

Just take a look at the registry: HK_CLASSES_ROOT\xmlfile\shell\Open\command That should give you some idees. Wout Louwers

Basically, I believe there would be two types of approaches to this problem: 1. Hook the file system to send notifications when a file is accessed 2. Hook a system event to give you a notification each time a file is opened. 3. Use the standard file commands to prohibit access The first method is by far the most troublesome and difficult, but will provide the most accurate, functioning results. You would need a low level access to the NTFS file system and be able to enumerate through currently open files. If the desired file is found in this enumeration, it is closed. The second method relies on the Windows OS to give you a notification when a file system event occurs. The most effective way to accomplish this would be to use some IFS element. IFS (Installable File System) is part of the Windows DDK and allows you to build file system filter drivers, which can capture different events. FileMon is one example from this type of application. The final option is the most easiest: when your application is started, you open the file in a non-exclusive mode, which means that all other attempts to access this file while your application has it open will fail. However, this means that only your application can access the file in question, and this approach will cause a system crash if used on critical system files. But for protecting application-specific files, this is the most effective one. For an example, see this article[^] -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.

hey well This can be done very easy. Just u make use of the system(command) This system function is used to execute the dos commands. So u have to specify like system("md directoryname"); This will execute the dos command so that ur directory would created to delete do the same. to open the file just use _open to read or write the file just use _read or _write. I hope u better refer the msdn where u could be clear man. Just try this i hope this would be helpfull for u. Bye ..... Shanmuga Sundar.V

Thanks a lot!...Redrawwindow() worked.

shell extensions see michael dunn's articles here on cp they are awesome "there is no spoon" biz stuff   about me

first you need to load the resource dll using loadlibrary and get its instance handle. Now this instance handle should be supplied to ::LoadIcon ::LoadString etc where ever it is necessary, The resource.h file of the resource only dll should be #inclueded in ur sdi application, be carefull it may clash with ur sdi resource.h file too. there are other apis releated to resoruce handling you can refer MSDN for that. My God is more powerfull Than Your God. (the line that divides the world)

1. YOu need to have 2 seperate workspace one for your sdi application and other for ur resource only dll. 2. The projects will be definitely be 2 but you can insert the resource only project into ur sdi project workspace so that you can work on both simultaneously. 3. You need to supply both the modules when installing in other machines and also other dlls that ur modules are depending upon ( you can get the list by using depends.exe supplied with visual studio. 4..jpg will be inserted as custom resource loading and using custom resource is a different topic, (that i dont know much about) hope i answered ur quries. My God is more powerfull Than Your God. (the line that divides the world)

thanx

Hi Thanks for your reply. Can you explain a little more detail please. 1. Where do I handle The TVN_KEYDOWN notification. I have a formview and added the tree controls in that view. 2. MessageBox has following syntax from msdn, where is the option to add yes and no button? MessageBox( LPCTSTR lpszText, LPCTSTR lpszCaption = NULL, UINT nType = MB_OK ); please help

Some laptops (like Dell's) have a keyboard short-cut to adjust speaker volume. If I am not mistaken, if this is turned all the way down, even with the system tray volume turned right up you will hear nothing. For example on a Dell Inspiron 1100, pressing Fn and the blue-color-coded speaker image on one of the arrow keys will raise the volume. Maybe you should check your laptop manual for a similar feature...
