Sure - select Tools->Options and select the Format tab - you might have to scroll right to get to the Format tab. There are several different font options that can be changed - text editor windows, debugger output windows, output window, call stack window, etc, etc.

Thats probably because of caching: The function's local stream is closed as the function exists so the file is flushed to disk and closed. On the other hand, the class member stream is not flushed so u c a file but no data. To check this u just have to flush the file explicitly. [I'd paste some code here but I use FILE*fh=fopen or CreateFile. Never c++ streams nor CFile]

Maybe you need to make calls to printf thread safe, by using a CRITICAL_SECTION object.... void theadsafe_printf(char *lpzText) { EnterCriticalSection(&cs); printf("%s",lpzText); LeaveCriticalSection(&cs); } Use InitilizeCriticalSection() to create the cs object. and DeleteCriticalSection() when finished at the end of your app. CodeBeetle.Com

Yes, just recently had the same problem. For me it turned out to be Nvidia's NView program that manages windows. Turn this off completely and my problems went away. I'm running a Toshiba laptop so I couldn't upgrade to the newest version of Nvidia drivers, but I wasn't using it NView anyways so I just turned it off. Hope this helps. -- Joel Lucsy

I thought of that, but the validation of the attributes and relations is much to complex to be checked in a xml scheme.

I could not find anything similar in the MSXML dom parser.

I just saw it and that is not exactly what I need: I want to increment the file and product version numbers and also have to do some version control stuff before I do this. I just need to know how I can a Custom Build option/tab to an empty project. Anyone got a clue on how to do this ?

Hi Roger, thanks for your reply. It seems a lot of overhead (+/- 11 classes) for just 'simply' printing the contents of a listcontrol, but it is a start.

Validating control contents when switching focus from one control to the next is done by handling the EN_KILLFOCUS notification sent by the edit control that is losing focus. You could trap TRY/CATCH this and send it along the way in a altered state! Best Wishes, ez_way

You can specify any ID you want to. The normal ID used for 'don't care' is IDC_STATIC (-1). The ID will be used if you want to retrieve the control by its ID, such as when calling GetDlgItem, GetDlgItemText, SetDlgItemText, etc. The only way you could get the 'next available ID' would be to walk the window's child controls using GetWindow (get the first with GW_CHILD, then use GW_HWNDNEXT to get subsequent children) calling GetDlgCtrlID on each one.

I am not sure if this will help, but does this "lengthy process" have a DO/FOR/WHILE loop? If so the task is fairly straight forward. Here is an example of a ProgressBar function: void CMyDialog::ProgressBar() { int percentage=0; //variable initialisation char temp[100]; // //The following line will calculate the Progress bar percentage //The "Records" is a global UINT which increments each time through the loop //The "TotalRecords" is the total number of Records in the loop percentage=(int)(((float)Records/(float)TotalRecords)*100.0); //"m_Progress" is the variable attached to your dialog //This will set the position of the progress bar depending on the percentage m_Progress.SetPos(percentage); //This will update the "m_Progress" variable with the new position UpdateData(FALSE); } Call this function every time you wish to update the progress bar. Dont forget to update the "Records" variable before calling this function. Hope this helps. :)

[RANT] it is documented like 99.9% of all the ActiveX Controls.. NOT AT ALL [/RANT] and i've quickly watched the functions of the interfaces.. it doesn't look like it has a "goto page" - function.. but you can call the "goto next page" function in a loop ;) yaya.. the joys of programming "I'm from the South Bronx, and I don't care what you say: those cows look dangerous."
