Yep. I've started to do so. class CDtLog { private: std::ostringstream m_os; bool bNewEntry; int m_nPrio; char* m_szGroup[40]; public: CDtLog() { bNewEntry = true; m_nPrio = 2; m_szGroup[0] = NULL; } template CDtLog &operator<<(const T &item) { if (bNewEntry) { m_os << ""; bNewEntry = false; } m_os << item ; return *this; }; void print() { printf(m_os.str().c_str()); } }; int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { CDtLog test; int i = 10; test << "hejsan" << std::setfill(' ') << std::setw(10) << 12 << i; test.print(); return 0; } I need a modifier that tells me that a debugentry is done, similiar to endl, but instead of just flushing, it ends the xml tag and then flush it to the file. I also need to check every entered character to see if it's a < or >, if so I need to translate it to > or <, or it will ****up the xml. I also want modifiers that I can use to change the prio and group.

The client that connects to you needs to set their own linger options before they connect to you. Same with your server app (you should set linger before you bind the socket).. I'm not sure if you can set that option after the socket has already been connected or after it accepts a connection.. One other thing (and im not 100% sure) but I dont think you need to call shutdown on a socket when it doesn't linger.. I think you can close the socket right away to free up the socket resoruces.. linger linger; linger.l_onoff = TRUE; linger.l_linger = 0; setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_LINGER, (char *)&linger, sizeof(struct linger)); if(bind(server,(sockaddr*)&local,sizeof(local))!=0) { if(server != INVALID_SOCKET) closesocket(server); MessageBox("Error Binding socket", "Socket Error", MB\_OK); } else { if(listen(server,10) != 0) { if(server != INVALID_SOCKET) closesocket(server); etc..... } Hope this gets you pointed in the right direction..

I had a problem recently on comEvReceive. About once in 3 million times it would OnCommEvent would be called for this but a character had not been recieved so I had to put a condition in my code to cover this. Elaine (serial fluffy tigress) The tigress is here :-D

just what I was looking for! thanks!:)

Lesson 1: Don't use macros unless you can't do without. const int HVD_HEADER_SIZE = 1 + sizeof(USHORT) + sizeof(DWORD) + sizeof(char); would have done the job. Lesson 2: If you have to embrace macros, embrace them correctly: braces go 'round the entire expression, and each argument :) "Der Geist des Kriegers ist erwacht / Ich hab die Macht" StS sighist | Agile Programming | doxygen

In the CListCtrl::DrawItem(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT) function, you can manage the CDC object for fill each item to transparent. I also need this implementation (with 100% transparent), and if you get please tell me how make it. []'s Cris.

thanks. But that doesnt help me. I want to know why it doesnt work. Why do the colors look fuckedup if I use the same overloaded version of create as you do? (The one where u specify the mask color) Why do the mask become black when I first load the bmp into a CBitmap and then load the CBitmap into the imagelist?

I've solved it. I had named my event and that fucked everything up.

why? Is it faster? why are SqlGetData slow?

In the Sheets constructor, before any of the pages are constructed, I call this: //Remove the Apply Button m\_psh.dwFlags |= PSH\_NOAPPLYNOW; //Remove the Help button m\_psh.dwFlags &= ~PSH\_HASHELP; < edit > And here is what I do in the beginning of OnInitDialog //see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - Q146916 m_bModeless=FALSE; //cheat BaseClass into NOT disabling Buttons m_nFlags |= WF_CONTINUEMODAL; BOOL bResult = CPropertySheet::OnInitDialog(); m_bModeless= TRUE; //reset to our actual state. m_nFlags &= ~WF_CONTINUEMODAL; < /edit > Stop asking why - I just copied it from someone, and as it worked I never bothered to think about it again.;) My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

Why don't you use a keyboard hook in order to prevent those keys to be used? windows keys can only be disabled (or handled in other way than the original one) by using a keyboard hook. It's easier than it seems and it allows you to handle all the keys you want once you have the main hook structure done. Hope this helps...

Isnt it a quite large overhead for using xml? (in unmanaged c++)? :confused: Transfering data (records) is not the only thing that my server does, so webservices isnt the thing for me. The server talks to a PABX (phone switch), monitors corporation extensions, communicates with the voicemail system etc etc. Transferring data is the smallest part =) XML sounds nice, but the server will handle a lot of connections and will be in the same machine as 4 other server proccesses, so it cant to much cputime.
