First of all I am not sure what you mean by marked for deletion? Is there a field in the table that marks the recordset for deletion? If not, then you should check the batch mode. If there is a field in the table that flags the record as deleted then you should check SetFilter or set_filter functions. This way only the records that need to be deleted will be accessed (you can specify your own filter criterias). If your database allows you to delete multiple records at once then you can go ahead and do that. If not, then you should iterate through each element and delete them. How are you accessing the database? ODBC, ADO, etc.? // Afterall, I realized that even my comment lines have bugs When one cannot invent, one must at least improve (in bed).-My latest fortune cookie

I don´t know myself at all with Toolbars, but after a short read of the msdn, i think you could try the following : Create a CToolBarCtrl object, assign it the return value of pBar->GetToolBarCtrl where pBar is your CToolBar. Then you have access to the EnableButton() and other functions of the same kind using the CToolBarCtrl. Hope this helps... ~RaGE();

I guess it depends on your POV. I use STL and iostreams a lot, and a lot within the one project. I could not live without the facilities it offers me, which CFile/CArray does not. The average programmer seems blissfully unaware that such facilities exist, and so will suffer CFile when on a large scale project, where the 80k or so that gets added would be of real benefit to them.

Declare your struct just before your application class. Declare your array as: public: CArray m_mycarray; in your appilication class. Write function like: CYourApp *GetApp() { return (CYourApp *)AfxGetApp(); } Declare your function (where you want use m_mycarray) as YourFunction(CArray & m_mycarray) And then you can use it as: YourFunction(GetApp()->m_mycarray); Is it possible?

i have a list box that allows the user to mark items to be deleted. on exit of the application i check the listbox and delete the records. i have double checked and none of my records are duplicated. but i do have some logs that have duplicate core data(all but 3 fields the same). the error occurs on the delete function. i have tried a try/catch around the delete function and it will trap the error and exit me out of my loop, but that is not what i need. again i do not have a sort set on the records, my list box takes care of and sorting. thank you do{ retval = pCtrl->GetItemState(ckrec,LVIS_STATEIMAGEMASK); if(retval == LVIS_SELECTED && !m_pSet->IsEOF()){ UpdateData(true); m_pSet->SetAbsolutePosition(ckrec+1); DeleteFile(Buffer); m_pSet->Delete(); } ckrec++; }while(ckrec <= pCtrl->GetItemCount());

You will want to use the WM_GETMINMAXINFO message. The OS will send this message to your window right before it is to be resized, and this is your windows chance to tell the OS the smallest size that the user can drag the window to and the largest that they can resize the window to. This message will also allow you to determine the maximized position dimensions. You can force a maximized window to only take up a small portion of the screen, and you can set the position of that reduced size window when the window is maximized. Look at FreeCell in the accesories folder for a demonstraction of this. Build a man a fire, and he will be warm for a day Light a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life!

that did it thank you.

that works great thanks

thank you.

I"m not sure about this, but BOOL m_bFirstPass; CDialog:CDialog() { m_bFirstPass = FALSE; } CDialog::OnInitDialog() { m_bFirstPass = TRUE; } CDialog::OnActivate() { if(m_bFirstPass == TRUE) //Execute code only on first call m_bFirstPass = FALSE; //Prevent from code being executed again } This might work! :) "An expert is someone who has made all the mistakes in his or her field" - Niels Bohr

all i have on the top of my file is // creport.cpp : implementation file // #include "stdafx.h" #include "cmain.h" #include "creport.h" //////////////////////i have also tried to creport.h before cmain.h i did find the following article on msdn. i have not made any since of it yet though.

The two classes (A and B) are derived from other classes (C and D) to better demonstrate this issue. If the two classes are not declared correctly, errors such as the following can occur: test1.h(8) : error C2501: 'B' : missing decl-specifiers test1.h(8) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '*' test1.h(8) : error C2501: 'x' : missing decl-specifiers MORE INFORMATION Sample Code /* Compile options needed: none */ //================================ // test1.h //================================ #ifndef _a_ #define _a_ class B; class A : public D { B * x; }; #endif //================================ // test2.h //================================ #ifndef _b_ #define _b_ class A; class B : public C { A * y; }; #endif //================================= // test.cpp //================================= class C { int q; }; class D { int p; }; #include "test1.h" #include "test2.h" void main(void) { } Additional query words: 8.00 8.00c 9.00 9.10

somethin like that ;P -dz

found my problem m_drvlist.SetItemState(iItem,0,LVIS_SELECTED);

The pFrom member is a "multistring", i.e a string composed of many substrings terminated by '\0's. In your particular case, there's only one substring terminated by '\0' plus the standard '\0' regular C strings are equipped with. So, try with "c:\\junk\0" and tell us if that worked.

that is exactly the problem. thank you very much.

// select item ctrlList.SetItemState(nItem, LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_SELECTED); // set focus to item ctrlList.SetItemState(nItem, LVIS_FOCUSED, LVIS_FOCUSED); // select and set focus to item ctrlList.SetItemState(nItem, LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED, LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED); farewell goodnight last one out turn out the lights Smashing Pumpkins, Tales of a Scorched Earth

I've been inserting the reference project into the new project, then dragging and dropping the resources into the new project. (and then break the link) One cool thing is that it seems to copy whatever bitmaps, etc that you need as well. I'm not even sure why it works, but it's slick. You have to join projects, though. You can break them apart later. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I wish I had a way to have multiple *.rc files for a project - when we are using Visual Source Safe, one guy wants to change his dialog somewhere, but he has to check out the main rc file, and it locks us all out of it. (and he leaves it checked out and we are stuck for a while) I started playing around with doing #include's into the resource file to let us split it up, but didn't get too far.
