thanks! but lets do some math: there are 4,136,988 members out there! even by looking for localized developers there are a bunch of them...and attempting to contact them one by one is so much time consuming that the dead line will be reached before finding one interested guy. BTW Thanks again

you are exactly true: both smell like deep sh*t situation!

well, they could. But the process of recruitting in this site is a week! I thought that maybe here I could directly meet a coder. Or at least, someone should know a coder interested by the job. That was the idea. I really have some short delay and I am already involved in a (more than) full time project. Thank you for the link (But I already knew it ;)

Hi, I have to do a project....for yesterday (As usual, you tell me :laugh: ) but I don't have the time to do it. There is a wind of panic out there! I need a developer ASAP to do it. I'm looking for an affordable solution because I'm not (yet???) a millionaire! It is why I thought about central Europa (Hungary, Tcheky, Russia etc...) or Asia (China or India?) The project deals with ActiveX and graphics and EXIF, under VC6 and VS2005. Any idea where I can found such developers in a very short notice? If you are interested or if you know someone who should be, please contact me through this board or at devproject@aliceadsl.fr . Thank you very much in advance Best regards Guy

The project deals with ActiveX and graphics and EXIF, under VC6 and VS2005. I think the first and most important part can be achieved in less than 2 weeks.

Hi I don't know if it is the right forum because it deals with development platform changes and...well, I think it is the place. Here are my main questions: Is it possible to work with both Visual Studio 6 and Visual Studio 2005, both installed on the same machine? The reason is that my VS6 projects are huge and it will take time (even it should be not possible to compile without big code transformations). So, in a transition period, is it possible to install both VS on the same computer? Well, the other question is quite relative to the previous one: is there people out ther who experienced trouble/difficulties to port a VC++6 projet to the new VC++2005 platform? (non managed, full compiled C++) (VS2005)? Does the big jump from MFC4.2 (in VC6) to the new MFC8 (VS2005) imply some serious code translation? What will be my main issues/problems? many thanks in advance Guy LECOMTE

"Why don't you instead look at your local college or high school for some local talent?" Because I'm in the middle of nowhere in french britany and I'm almost deaf. BTW, french peoplpe are really expensive even unexperienced one.:( . But this home job oportunity is serious. "Let me guess. MFC does XAML?" Well, let's say GDI+ and XML and imaging.:omg: Hey! "Marc" is a sounds French (it it my brother's first name!), are you French or Canadian? Guy

Hi, I have a new C++ graphical project and I'm looking for developers, for a "home job". (did you say "outsourcing" :) ?) This is something like a "second job" oportunity. I'm looking for chinese, indian or eastern europa guys because I'm not yet millionaire (may be the future Bill Gates is in progress with this new program :laugh: ) Everybody else is welcome but don't expect zillions dollars income :^) My question is: where can I find those guys on the web? Do you know some site where I can put some (free) ad? If you are interested, feel free to send me your questions (and resume)at jplilles@yahoo.fr Thank you very much in advance Best regards Guy

Thanks a lot! That helped me and it solved my problem...partially. I explain: when I click the dialog button, now, everything is ok. I get the good window pointer etc...Fine.;) I call this sollution "from dialog to CView". Now I have the other problem "From CView to dialog". A modeless dialog is open and displays automatically some info of the current active topmost CImageView. What I need is to automatically maintain the current CImageView pointer and notify the dialog when this pointer changes. For example, when the user closes a CImageView window (and assuming there are several open CImageView and other CView windows) I'd like my dialog to be automatically notified by the new CView window and if it is a CImageView window the dialog should update its info. It is longer to explain than to see, but I'm sure you get it.:wtf: Thank a lot in advance Guy LECOMTE

Hi I have an MDI application which deal with 3 types of document: let's say IMAGE, TEXT, SHEET. this is a classical doc/view architecture with multidoct emplate. I'd like to have an modeless dialog which execute (when a button in this dialog is clicked) an action on the current topmost visible mdi child, only if it is an image. That means, if the current open window is a TEXT window, the button does nothing. But if it is a IMAGE window, it runs the process. How to get the actual topmost MDI view and its type? (in fact, I need a pointer to the actual topmost ImageView window) BTW I've tried to maintain a ImageView pointer, called *currentView, which is set to the actual active ImageView but it does not work well because when the user closes the ImageView, the pointer is not set to the next open ImageView window (in this case we suppose there are several imageview window open). Please, Help, I can't find a solution for those pb. Thank you very much in advance regards Guy LECOMTE

Hi, I'm very interested by the new features of gdi+ 1.1 especially the colorcurve class/function Unfortunately, I can't find any information about the gdi+ 1.1 availability. Does anybody know about it? Where can I download it? I tried MS without success. Where can I find some sample codes with this colorcurve feature? Many thanks in advance Guy

Hi

Hi everybody You know probably the great time when you are to release public the first version of your program: you are proud of it and you want to sell it to become the next Bill Gates (!!! :wtf: ). But I have a major issue: my installation package size is 27Mo. And there will be a free version (same size). So, the problem is that my Internet provider won't accept a big charge on its server and he will shut down my site :(( . I need to provide a solution to download the package somewhere (several places is a plus :) ) (It is actually a php site) Could you provide me some tips suggestions or solutions? I'm sure you, great gurus and developers, have already been confronted to this problem. :confused: Many thanks in advance Best regards Guy LECOMTE

Hi, As a developer using a notebook all the day, I'll say that the screen is one of the most important thing. It make me shift from an excellent Toshiba to a SONY. I think that 15" for a resolution higher than 1024 is too much for all day use. I have a SONY GRV 616G with a 16" screen (1280*1024) and a good cpu (2.6Ghz 512Mb RAM 3D Radeon 9000 with 64mb etc...). Trust me, 1024*768 was definitely not enough to work with 10 hours a day. This new machine is good. The new SONY (now the GRT 716S) has a better screen with more brightness and hight contrast (and I think higher resolution, 2.8Gh cpu etc...) Those kind of PC rocks for developpers (and gamers;P) best regards Guy LECOMTE

Hi Do you know where I can find the true colour 32bpp 24*24 bitmaps from Microsoft displayed as “Common Toolbar Icons” in this Microsoft page http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?url=/library/en-us/dnwxp/html/winxpicons.asp?frame=true ? And are we allowed to use them without royalties? Thank you very much in advance. Best regards Guy LECOMTE

Hi, I need those 2 functions : ImageList_Read & ImageList_Write functions... It seems they already exist in comcntl32 . More of this I’ve found this code : In Winctrl2.cpp #ifndef _AFX_NO_OLE_SUPPORT extern "C" { HIMAGELIST WINAPI ImageList_Read(LPSTREAM pstm); BOOL WINAPI ImageList_Write(HIMAGELIST himl, LPSTREAM pstm); } #endif … BOOL CImageList::Write(CArchive* pArchive) BOOL CImageList::Read(CArchive* pArchive) This is what I need but I’m unable to use it because it is in a #ifndef _AFX_NO_OLE_SUPPORT compilation condition. So, I don’t know how I can access it. What is the #ifndef _AFX_NO_OLE_SUPPORT for? Where does it come from? I really need ImageList_Read & ImageList_Write or BOOL CImageList::Write(CArchive* pArchive), BOOL CImageList::Read(CArchive* pArchive) Can anybody help me please? Is there a sample project somewhere that uses the ImageList_Read & ImageList_Write functions? Thank you very much in advance. Best regards Guy LECOMTE

hello, in my current project, I need to store the original file path of files. But they can come from many unit types : FD, local HD, network HD, CD writer, DVD rom etc.... So, for a given computer (the local machine !)I need to know : - The drive list - the type of each drive - the name of each unit (HD name, CD ROM name if one is inserted in the CD Reader..) I did not find out how to do that in VC++, is there anybody out there who can help me , please ?:confused: You guys, who are so smart I've a new question : how to know if a unit is a CD Writer, a DVD writer ? Thank you very much for the so numerous and efficient answer ! :-D :-D (hope make me live !) Best regards Guy LECOMTE

Have you tried CodeBase from Sequiter software ? It is very fast, portable with source code, not so expensive. http://www.sequiter.com/ If your queries aren't too much complex, it is worth a try ! regards Guy LECOMTE

Well, just my 2 cents. There are not many ways to speed up Database Systems : 1. Software optimisation : - a. algorithms to optimise the code/efficiency - b. uses the memory at the most ! up to 100%, in the case of memdb. 2. Hadware optimisation - faster HD (with mem) - 100% memory HD already in use in Web technologies (32Go) So, I don't think memdb will rules, because you can already run an Oracle or SQLServer application on a memHD without touching the code of the application. It only costs hardware. In the case of memdb, you have to buy hardware, you have to change the code, and the database system is quite recent (reliability ? scallability ?...). Guy LECOMTE
