I bet the OP will start searching msdn and google more extensively before posting here, from now on... :-D

Hey! That, like, totally worked!!! :cool: Thanks! Mark

Hi Again: I'm replying to my own original message. I just wanted to report that the probem was resolved. Turning "automatic updates off" and selecting instead "Notify me when updates are ready" I was able to note the two update codes that kept going around and around. It was 925672 and KB927978. They relate to MSXML V4.0 SP1. Taking Roger Wright's advice, I checked Add/Remove programs and set it to include updates in the listing. Here, I found that MSXML 4.0 SP1 had two identical entries. I uninstalled both of them and restarted. I then allowed them to be reinstalled when the message appeared saying that those two updates were ready. They installed successfully and it has all been tickety-boo since then. Thanks all, and Roger in particular. Mark

Just taking some artistic license...

We have purchased the UT. I like it. I have had no troubles with it. The couple of times I had to get tech support, I got a really fast response from them. It didn't take me too long to get going as I recall (it was a long time ago and I have slept since then). How fast you pick it up is pretty much up to you. They do have fairly good documentation and there are a whole bunch of sample projects to play with. The only real complaint that I have is they seem to be slow with updates. Why is common sense not common? Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to be lazy

Probably, this is last post this year. Its friday 11:37 PM here. Can continue on your problem on tuesday. Happy new year.:) Prasad Notifier using ATL | Operator new[],delete[][^]

Hi David: Yes, I have. Can't find a thing wrong. What sort of things would I look for if the code builds without any problem if I specify use of the MFC DLL as apposed to using MFC in the static library? If it were something as obvious as a class name spelling error, that problem would show up regardless of the build type. There has to be something much more subtle going on here. Mark

Thanks Mike. It worked!

Thank you. That worked. M. :cool:

Another similar option would be to populate the dialogs list with an obviously stupid file extension, then add the items yourself.

I tested the charts, and I contacted support, I didn't tell them I worked for CP, because I didn't have to, the support seemed excellent. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

Hi Nader: Thanks for the advice. I am looking into Parent.BeginInvoke(), which I recognized in passing and will now take a closer look at. Cheers, Mark

Thanks for the responses everybody. Mark

Here is one way to move a specific list item to the top void CTestDlg::MoveItemToTop( int itemIndex ) { CRect topItemRect; CRect itemRect; //Figure out which item is currently at the top of the list int topIndex = m_ListCtrl.GetTopIndex(); //Get the bounding rectangle around the current top item m_ListCtrl.GetItemRect(topIndex+1,&topItemRect,LVIR_BOUNDS); //Get the bounding rectangle around the desired top item m_ListCtrl.GetItemRect(itemIndex,&itemRect,LVIR_BOUNDS); //Compute the y distance between the 2 items CSize size(0,itemRect.bottom-topItemRect.bottom); //Scroll the list m_ListCtrl.Scroll(size); }

I'm going to have to watch out for that. I've seen a lot of web tutorials and references that talk about AUTO_INCREMENT but it turns out that they were all talking about MySQL, not SQL. I had assumed that they would be similar in syntax but this is turning out to be not the case. Thanks again, Mark

Yep, that worked. Thanks again for your help. I will check out this books on-line link that you mentioned. Cheers, Mark

Thanks G_S. I did try starting my program away from the IDE and it certainly was easier to isolate my application and also its sub-controls and lok at only the messages I was interested in. Alas, I still have not figured out what keeps repainting my custom control... Cheers, Mark

What the OleDbException message say...?
