fuck off asshole, go back to the soapbox led mike

Easy way would just be to make a new form class and make the class a member of the new form class. ugly? yes. best practise? no. will it do the trick? probably :)

You need to write the String chars yourself. BinaryWriter has a Write() method that writes a Char. for (int i = 0; i < str->Length; i++) writer->Write(str[i]); Of course, you won't be able to read the data back in as a String without some way of indicating where strings end in the file.

Answer to my own question. It is this->printDocument->DefaultPageSettings->Landscape = true before calling the printDialog->ShowDialog();

Thanks Robert, Yes, that works. The key here is the sr->DiscardBufferedData() otherwise the sr->BaseStream->Seek() function does nothing. Buck

Thanks, I must b have a flaw in my flow. I tried using a flag to no avail. I will try again.

Well you've got your work cut out for you ;) Mark Salsbery Microsoft MVP - Visual C++ :java:

Just to let you know, I have figured out a seven step process that I can use to consistantly be able to copy and rename entire solutions but that isn't what I need to do to correct this icon problem that give me an error on the line... this->Icon = (cli::safe_cast(resources->GetObject(L"$this.Icon"))); There was a Microsoft .NET article "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms950960.aspx" talking about this very subject and another forum had a solution for this problem. The solution is to add the icon as a resource and then select the incon file's Build Action property and change it to Embedded. My problem now (as it always is with Microsoft) is that my VS 2005 does not have the same Forms or properties as these examples and the icon file I imported does not have a Build Action property. I will post again as a Build Action problem. Sorry, it would have been nice to provide you with a link to the MS article but I don't know how to do that. Thanks

These should help point you in the right direction http://www.codeproject.com/KB/graphics/PictureBoxZoom.aspx[^] http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/GDI_.aspx[^] led mike

In the project's debugger settings, do you have a working directory specified? In general, your app should set the working directory and not assume a certain location :) Mark Mark Salsbery Microsoft MVP - Visual C++ :java:

Have a look at nsis[^], I use it for my installations and it's pretty easy to use. Jonathan Wilkes Darka[Xanya.net] [My Code Project Articles]

I didn't state that correctly, and I modified my post above... ListViewSubItemCollection is a subclass nested class in the ListViewItem class. It's the same thing you'd have to do with regular C++... the compiler has to know the class and the namespace :) Mark Mark Salsbery Microsoft MVP - Visual C++ :java:

A good version control system (like Subversion[^]) would make this relatively easy. You can always copy the code to a new folder and change the project name and settings. You could also use the existing code and use conditional compilation directives to include/exclude code depending on the build. Mark Mark Salsbery Microsoft MVP - Visual C++ :java:

Handle WM_ERASEBKGND as well, and don't ever call the base class. You wil need to draw the whole form yourself then.

Yes, I looked up the HitTest() doc and implemented it and it worked wonderfully. Thanks Mike, Buck
