Hi, I've created an mfc dialog-based app, and a menu-resource. But I'd like the menu to appear in the dialog (at the moment it isn't appearing). I know I have to call some kind of CWnd::*** function, but which? In other words: I have a menu resource, and I want to use it by displaying the menu in the GUI! This is the most simple kind of menu, but I can't show it :confused:

Hi there, I have a nice toll written in Delphi, and I need to make some changes to it. But I prefer C++ over Delphi, so I'd like to convert it into a C++-based project. Does anyone have a tool to convert Delphi code into C++? I'd very appreciate it, because I just don't like converting it by hand (I'm not much of a Delphi star ;) ). Thank you in advanc, Boudewijn Ector

Hi, I need to build an app to open some kind of file (it kan be any kind: .exe .html .txt .hex --> really everything) as a binary (or hexadecimal file), after that I need to convert this file to a hexadecimal file with checksums. I know how to do the last thing, but I could use some help in opening files as binaries!

I jsut tried your solution, but it isn't working, although I entered the text (without the double quotation amrks in the conditions field). I tried it with a capitalized c in checked, and put transitive on true and false. No combination of it seemed to worrk --> the shortcut was created every time I tried the installer (it should only be created if the checkbox is checked).

Thanks, I'll try it I didn't know it was that simple!

Hi, I've posted a meesage like this about a month ago on this forum, but I didn't get any satisfacting responses; so I'll try again. I've created a setup prject, with the "Setup Projects" template, this is for an MFC C++ application. The installer works great, but I want to let the user determine wether he wants a shortcut placedn on his desktop\start menu. So I added a new dialog to my project, containing three checBoxes. But after having done this, I wanted to a some kind of 'link' between checking a checkbox and the creation of a shortcut. If already inserted the shortcuts in the FileSystem tab, but I don't know how to script the decision correctly (I know C and its derivates, not Basic!). I've already looked at the MSDN, but I can't find a nice answer!:mad: The properties of the checkbox are these: (in the user interface editor!) (I haven't included irrelevant properties (irrelevant to me)) CheckBox1Property : CHECKBOXC1 CheckBox1Value : Unchecked

Okay, I've written my application in mfc c++, but what has that to do with my setup project? I jsut need an answer for the development projects, not for mfc!

That's right, but where do I have to place my question (I don't know!)?

OK, but this isn't MFC --> this is a SETUP project! As far is I know this one has nothing to do with MFC (or am I wrong?)

Hi, How can I evaluate the value of checkbox called "check1" (or something like it), in my setup project, if the box is checked, I need to place a shortcut on the desktop! Thanks!

Hi, Do you know how to obtain a harddisks number; this is a serial (unique for each disk) number, wich I'll use for security etc. I've have another question about this one; if I've build an app to determine the number, and it's put on a RAID system: which disk number will be returned? Thanks

Hi there, If I build a setup project for an application, I can decide wether I want to place a shortcut to my .exe on the user's desktop. This has to be done before building the installer. But I want the user to be able to choose wether he wants that, or not! So, I need to have some kind of interaction in my setup projects, for doing this I should inlcude some checkboxes in the dialog: How can I add those, and how can I use them to deternine wether to place those shortcuts? Thanks

Hi, How can I convert an int (or a double) to a CString, wich contains a hex value. Example: I've got an int, called 'a', with value 33. And I need to get a String with the hexadeciaml value of 'a', wich means (in this case) that I need a CString containing "21". Do you know wether is some fkind of function for this??? Thanks

OK, I've read it, But Is still don't understand what exactly I've got to do with those messages etc. can you explain that to me?

Hi, Does anyone know a good tutorial on keyboard accels, or does anyone want to give sime kind of lesson about it (like a checklist or something). My problem is like this: I have an app wich shows pictures, this works. But every time a user presses the right-arrow button, the app needs to show a new picture (this is done by calling showNextPicture()). I've already build showNextPicture(), but I can't build the link between the key and the function. PS I'm using a dialog based app, with MFC support Thanks for reading this!

Do I hvae to define ServerThread before it's call (I'm not used to that)? I'll try it, and if it works thank you a lot!!!:-D

Hi there, I've downloaded a tutorial from thecodeproject about tcp servers, and it contains the following code: int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR* argv[], TCHAR* envp[]) { int nRetCode = 0; cout << "Press ESCAPE to terminate program\r\n"; AfxBeginThread(ServerThread,0); while(_getch()!=27); return nRetCode; } and this UINT ServerThread(LPVOID pParam) { //lots of other code return 0; } I've copied the code into a neat console app with mfc functionality, but this isn't compiling. How is this possible?

Hi there, I need to get the user name (and if possible the type (like normal user, guest or administrator)), in a program. This is used for sending messages to a central message box on a server, everybody should be able to read only his messages. This will be checked by verifying the name of the intended receiver and the user name. Will your help also work under winXP?

Hi There, I've made a key accelerator table, and I've linked this one to my app. But how do I associate the message from the accelerator to a function? Is this also possible in a dialog based app? Thanks,

Thanks you everybody; after reading your hints, I finally succeeded in building this part of the app! ;P:-D;):)
