Anyone know of any good face recogition software? I've got two bitmaps, and I'd like to compare them to see if they are the same person.

I did a VERY limited one not long ago. Would you like the source to work on? I did not develop it further as I only needed limited functionality to fit into my main app.

Try http://www.codeproject.com/miscctrl/cfctrl.asp Not exactly what you want, but you could work from here... HTH Jerry

Great, thanks!

Anyone know how I can find what the path name for "My Documents" is? For the windows and windows/system directory I can use GetWindowsdirectory etc, but what about the "My Documents" directory. Thanks for any help at all. Jerry

(1) Create a CStatic frame NOT bitmap, but invisible. (2) Get Chris Maunder's CDIBSectionLite class to draw the bitmap. (3) Find the size of your CStatic, and using CDIBSectionLite::Stretch draw the stretched bitmap. HTH Jerry

Try having another look at ZLib. It's not that difficult. t has some examples, one of which I think is in pure C++. There are other examples such as an ActiveX version. Jerry

I realise that you don't want to use MFC but there is an MFC class on this site. This may be a start for you. Otherwise try the ZLib library avaiable from all over the place. HTH Jerry

Create a member function in your head file... CToolTipCtrl m_ToolTips; then..... BOOL CJVFAccessDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) { // TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class switch(pMsg->message) { case WM_LBUTTONDOWN: case WM_LBUTTONUP: case WM_MOUSEMOVE: m_ToolTips.RelayEvent(pMsg); } return cdxCSizingDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg); } BOOL CJVFAccessDlg::OnInitDialog() { m_ToolTips.Create(this); m_ToolTips.SetDelayTime(200); m_ToolTips.SetDelayTime(TTDT_AUTOPOP, 50000); m_ToolTips.SetMaxTipWidth(200); m_ToolTips.AddTool(GetDlgItem(IDD_REPORTS), winmesgs[7]); m_ToolTips.AddTool(GetDlgItem(IDD_PERSONNEL), winmesgs[8]); : : etc etc etc return TRUE; }

Simple. Don't use a CListCtrl. Use Chris Maunder's CGridCtrl and sub-class one of the cells as a CProgressCtrl. HTH Jerry

I have a CPropertySheet with stacked tabs. How can I find the total height of the stacked tabs. I add / remove various tabs in realtime, so the height will change!] Thanks to anyone that can help! :-)

oYou could automate Microsoft Word. Look in MSDN somewhere I think.....

One of the things you either love or hate about VS6 and VC6 is the the "member" list that appears after you've typed "->" or "." after a class or structure name. When I add members to classes of mine, they are accordingly listed after I type the class name. However I have a header file will lots of structure definitions in a directory different to the main app / source code. If I modify one of these structures, the changes don't seem to be listed when I next type the structure name. Any ideas why, or what I'm doing wrong please? Thanks

I've just had the comment "If Word2000 can display the new style file open dialogs in Win98 why can't you?". Well I'm not Microsoft! Anyone got any ideas though?

Have a look here.... http://www.codeproject.com/miscctrl/usemshtml.asp This file should do it, otherwise email me.

Ahh you're making the same mistake I did!! :-) DirectShow is NOT part of the DirectX toolkit. MS for some unknown reason decided to move it to the DirectX Media SDK which is spearate! I only learn't this after a 128M download! I does actually say this on the web site, but it is not very clear at all. (Us lot over here in England put it download to our lack of ability to read American!) Anyway why use DirectX? Try a CAnimateCtrl....
