Hi, i have been playing around with NTFS reparse points and junctions. I finally found the tutorial by Mike Nordell and managed to make my application work. I can now build a junction to a path like "C:\mydirectory". My question is concerned with building junctions over the network. If i specify "\\ServerXYZ\mydirectory" as the target path, the DeviceIOControl() routine returns unsuccessfully and GetLastError() returns 4392, which means that the parameter structure must have an error. Something is wrong with the way i'm specifying the path! Is it possible to use the DeviceIOControl() routine setting a junction point that is located on another computer? Thanks in advance...

Hi, I'm currently creating a lot of ownerdrawn MFC-controls. Can anybody tell why i should use DrawItem() instead of OnPaint()?

Hi, I am looking for a reporting with certain abilities. I know and used Crystal Reports, but the reports are bound to a database. I would like to fill the data directly from my application. I tried Visual Reports, but i can't display a preview as a child window in my application dialog. I'd like to have an ActiveX View Component. Can anyone give me a hint? The tool should have: - A Report designer to design the report - A ActiveX Viewer component for application integration - The data shouln't come directly from a datatabase, i need to fill the data in myself from the application. greets, Jason

Hi, I am trying to make a CComboBox behave like the Internet Explorer combo box, meaning: - The list opens and closes automatically, depending on the string the user is typing in - The String does not change when i'm browsing through the entries in the list box. Is it possible to make a standard combobox behave like this (Styles?)? Do I need to write a user defined class? greets, Jason

try char **function()

OK, that is right. The first call to WaitForSingle object will surely return WAIT_TIMEOUT. But when the bool is switched, the loop in CAnyDlg::Thread() stops. This means that the created thread will terminate sometime later. From this point on, a continous call to WaitForSingleObject should return WAIT_OBJECT_0 after some time. But that doesn't happen. Tha fact that concerns me is that the code works if i take away the SetWindowText() in the thread or i i call PeekMessage in the WaitForSingleObject loop...this must have something to do with the message queue...

Hi Everyone, I implemente a thread in a MFC application that can be started and stopped through 2 buttons. My problem: After i click the Stop button, the while-loop doesn't break, meaning that WaitForSingleObject does never return WAIT_OBJECT_0. How can i terminate a thread like this using wait for single object? I noticed that some calls to PeekMessage inside the while loop make WaitForSingleObject return WAIT_OBJECT_0. I really don't understand why this isn't working! Please can anybody help??

Hi Jeryth You cannot redefine the meaning of an operator when applied to built-in data types. Your SUIT enum is nothing but an ordinary int. I think that this is your problem... greets, Jason

In ansi C you allocate memory with malloc(); and after usage you free the allocated memory with free();

Hi, I'm currently writing some code for the manipulation of *.wav data and i want to use my algorithms for mp3 files too. I need something that loads a mp3 file to wav like uncompressed data. Something like: Function(char *cMP3FileName,void **DataBuffer,int *iBufLen,WAVHEADER *whHeader); can anyone give me a hint? greets, Jason

Hi, I'm not absolutely sure, but i think the 'bool' is not part of ansi C. This could be the reason why microsoft introduced the BOOL, and it makes perfect sense. If my assuption is correct, then the question is: Why the hell didn't they define BOOL as char instead of int? greets, Jason

Hi Mike, thanx, that was exactly what i was looking for. One last question: Is it possible to define the font type and the font size in the ID3DXFont interface? greets, Jason

Hi, Does anyone know how i can draw text on the client area of a window with the help of directX8? I know how to do it through the GDI, but i want to do it with directX8. Greets, jason

As i already wrote: if you are using the MFC CString class, simply use CString::Format(); else use sprintf(); examples: csCString.Format("%d",iInteger); or sprintf(cBuffer,"%d",iInteger); (where cBuffer is of type char*) greets, jason

try this: iInteger=atoi(LPCTSTR(csCString)); iInteger++; csCString.Format("%d",iInteger); this should do it! greets, Jason

maybe the problem is the declaration of myfunc(), your upper code seems alright to me... is the declaration myfunc(char* c) ???? is the argument a pointer? greets, jason

Hi, Yes that should do it!

This can't work...you have to construct a compatible bitmap and select it into the memory DC. At the moment, you are simply drawing on "nothing"...and "nothing" is what you are bitblitting. greets, Jason

Hi Tomaz, the problem is that CreateThread() is a c function...and c doesn't know anything about classes or virtual tables... try this: //--------------------------------------------------- void YourClass::AnyFunction() { // declarations DWORD dwId; // create the thread CreateThread(NULL,0,(LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)StartAddress,(LPVOID)this,0,&dwId); } DWORD YourClass::StartAddress(LPVOID lpParam) { // call the thread function ((YourClass*)lpParam)->ThreadFunction(); } void YourClass::ThreadFunction() { ... } //--------------------------------------------------- in the header you should declare the thread start procedure as follows: static DWORD StartAddress(LPVOID lpParam); ..this should do it
