Hi, One solution is: CString sHexNumber = "ABC"; DWORD dwDecNumber = 0; sscanf( sHexNumber, _T("%16x"), &dwDecNumber ); Best regards Holger

Hi, I think the solution for both problems is to override the "OnOK" handler of the dialog:

void MyDialog::OnOK()
{
// suppose m_sPassword is bound with DDX to the editbox
UpdateData( TRUE );

if( m\_sPassword != "PASSWORD" )
{
	AfxMessageBox( "Wrong Password" );
	return;
}

CDialog::OnOK();

}

Best regards Holger

Hi, I think an easy way is to put the "C++" function into a DLL and export it from there. Then link the DLL to the VB program and import the function. Best Regards Holger

Hi, Why do not use the API function "GetTimeZoneInformation". I think it's much easier to handle. Best Regards Holger

Hi, take a look to this CodeGuru article: http://codeguru.earthweb.com/misc/OnBoot.shtml Best regards Holger

Hi all, can anybody tell me how i can format source code in discussion board messages? Thanks in advance Holger Persch

Hi, try this:

CString BuildSQL( const CString& sStringFromFile )
{
CString sSQL, sTemp1, sTemp2;

sSQL = \_T("CREATE TABLE ");

// string at position 0 is the table name
if( AfxExtractSubString( sTemp1, sStringFromFile, 0, ',' ) )
{
	sSQL += sTemp1;
	sSQL += "( ";

	// now add the column names and the column types
	for( int i = 1; ; i +=2 )
	{
		if( AfxExtractSubString( sTemp1, sStringFromFile, i, ',' ) &&
			AfxExtractSubString( sTemp2, sStringFromFile, i + 1, ',' ) )
		{
			sSQL += sTemp1;
			sSQL += sTemp2;
			sSQL += \_T(", ");
		}
		else
		{
			break;
		}
	}

	// remove the last ", "
	sSQL.ReleaseBuffer( sSQL.GetLength() - 2 );
	sSQL += \_T(" )");
}

return sSQL;

}

I think it will be better to subclass an edit control and give it the custom formatting capabilities you want. You can handle the "WM_CHAR" message to control the edit's input. Then use the subclassed control instead of the regular edit control in your formview. Regards Holger Persch

If "to call" means to start a service, just use PJ Naughter's great "CNTService" classes (located in the "System -> Services" section) to get access to NT services. These classes will allow you to control (e.g. start, stop, install, uninstall,...) services in any way you want. Regards Holger Persch

#1 First create two new data members in your application class. for example: CMultiDocTemplate* m_pDocTemplate1; CMultiDocTemplate* m_pDocTemplate2; #2 Change the document template registering to something like this. m_pDocTemplate1 = new CMultiDocTemplate( IDR_MYDOC1, RUNTIME_CLASS( CMyDocument1 ), RUNTIME_CLASS( CChildFrame ), RUNTIME_CLASS( CMyView1 ) ); AddDocTemplate( m_pDocTemplate1 ); m_pDocTemplate2 = new CMultiDocTemplate( IDR_MYDOC2, RUNTIME_CLASS( CMyDocument2 ), RUNTIME_CLASS( CChildFrame ), RUNTIME_CLASS( CMyView2 ) ); AddDocTemplate( m_pDocTemplate2 ); #3 Overwrite the "OnFileNew" command handler in your application class. void CMyApp::OnFileNew() { // don't call CWinApp::OnFileNew() // Create a new document from template 1 m_pDocTemplate1->OpenDocumentFile( NULL ); // Create a new document from template 2 m_pDocTemplate2->OpenDocumentFile( NULL ); } That's it. Best regards Holger Persch

Another good workaround is Joerg Koenig's article "A Class For Building An NT Service " at CodeGuru. You can find it at: http://codeguru.earthweb.com/system/nt\_service.shtml Best regards Holger Persch

A suggestion. Try to use the "ptDrag" member of the NM_TREEVIEW structure instead of GetCurrentMessage()->pt. There is no need to convert ptDrag to client coordinates, because it is already in client coords. If this doesn't work, using the OnLButtonDown handler instead of OnClick is a second chance. HTH Holger Persch

Hi. Take a look at PJ Naughter's "CNTService" framework, that is located in the "System" section. It's a great advice in creating NT services. HTH Holger Persch

Hi, try using CFont::CreatePointFont(...) for initalising the font. HTH Holger Persch

Hi, a Suggestion for this behavior. The debugger will show you only 255 (or 256?) characters, even when CString contains more than this amount. HTH Holger Persch

Hi! Put the following function into your dialog class and call it in the file i/o loop. This will ensure that the window messages are correctly disptached. void CYourDialog::PumpMessages() { static MSG msg; if( GetSafeHwnd() != NULL ) { while( PeekMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE ) ) { if( !IsDialogMessage( &msg ) ) { TranslateMessage( &msg ); DispatchMessage( &msg ); } } } } HTH Holger Persch

Hi, if you like i can send you a CPropertySheet derived class that exactly does what you asked for. Best regards Holger
