Sorry , forgot to mention - i need it for "IFontLink2". I have uuid.lib from latest SDK , but if i compile my project in VC6 in debug mode it says "corrupted lib" and as far as i know this is because uuid.lib from letest SDK doesn't have debug version of uuid.lib (it's only release).

Hi, uuid.lib provided with Visual Studio .NET isn't good for project written in VC6 when compiling in debug mode. Can you please tell me where to download or send me uuid.lib for Visual Studio 6 (debug) ? Thanks!

Hi, My program is written in Visual C++ 6 + MFC (4.2) I need to build it with unicode. I downloaded Microsoft Core Platform SDK and took "unicows.lib" from there. When building application in debug mode i get following error : "Linking...UnicoWS.lib(failure.obj) : fatal error LNK1103: debugging information corrupt; recompile module" When i started researching , i understood that unicows.lib i took from microsoft core SDK is latest version and it was build in VC 7 (it's debug info). Now , the question is if maybe someone has older "unicows.lib" which will be good for VC6 ? I need it badly. Please post URL to download here or sent it to leon AT btdtech DOT com Thanks!!

No, I mean unicode representation of string. Т = 'T' , е = 'e' , с = 's' ; т = 't' (in russian)

Hi, I store texts in file in following unicode representation : &#XXXX;&#YYYY; This string & # 1058; & #1077; & #1089; & #1090; ,for example , means "Test" in russian. My project is built as unicode and i can successfully show this string if i do following: CString strMsg; strMsg = (unsigned short) 1058; strMsg += (unsigned short) 1077; strMsg += (unsigned short) 1089; strMsg += (unsigned short) 1090; TextOutW(....,..,..,..,strMsg,..,..); My question is : what should i do in order to init string like this : Code: CString strText = "& # 1058; & # 1077; & #1089; & #1090;"; so that it will be "treated" as unicode string ? I tried _T("& # 1058; & # 1077; & #1089; & #1090;") , but it doesn't help.. NOTE - I USED SPACES IN ABOVE POST INSIDE UNICODE STRINGS ON PURPOSE TO PREVENT THEM TO APPEAR AS RUSSIAN CHARS

Hi, I'm calling for some script which displays info according to category. This is how i do it : It works , but currently it always displays the same default category. Now , the problem : I dont know what category i gonna use. It comes through URL , because the URL looks like this : www.mydomain.com/info.html?category=1 where the number "1" can be any number from 0-9. The perl script cant retrieve this info through $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'} because i call the script without any parameters. I'd like somehow to add category number when calling the script IN RUNTIME (!) where the "x" is category number passed in URL , but dont know if its possible. Help needed! Thanks in advance I tried adding it with JavaScript but id didnt work out ;(

I'll look for it , hopefully it will help :) Thanks

Hi, I have rect i want to fill with transparent gradient ( so that one will see what's below the rect ). The function should look like : void DrawTransparentGradient(CDC* pDC, CRect* pRect,COLORREF clrStart,COLORREF clrEnd); Anyone knows how to implement it ? Thanks a lot!

I store data with separator '\t' ( TAB ) and i'm satisfied :)

Here's how you check if file exists : CFileFind fileCheckExistance; CString strPath = "C:\\Test\\myfile.exe"; if ( fileCheckExistance.FindFile( strPath ) ) AfxMessageBox("File exists !"); else AfxMessageBox("File doesnt exist.");

Thanks!

Hi, I've written some utility in VC++ .Net Now it's time to write help for it , but have never did it before. Anyone knows any free help authoring tool that will fast and in intuitive way generate winhelp file for my program ? Preferrably one which supports inserting screenshots and can parse .rc/.h files to generate context help. Thanks a lot ;)

John, Thanks , but your answer isn't answering my question. I do know how works TransparentBlt function , i asked what's wrong in my function for drawing transparent BITMAPS.

Any ideas ?

Hello, I'm using following function : ----------------------------------------------------------------------- void DrawTransparentBitmap(HDC hdc, HBITMAP hBitmap, int xStart, int yStart, COLORREF cTransparentColor) { BITMAP bm; COLORREF cColor; HBITMAP bmAndBack, bmAndObject, bmAndMem, bmSave; HBITMAP bmBackOld, bmObjectOld, bmMemOld, bmSaveOld; HDC hdcMem, hdcBack, hdcObject, hdcTemp, hdcSave; POINT ptSize; hdcTemp = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc); SelectObject(hdcTemp, hBitmap); // Select the bitmap GetObject(hBitmap, sizeof(BITMAP), (LPSTR)&bm); ptSize.x = bm.bmWidth; // Get width of bitmap ptSize.y = bm.bmHeight; // Get height of bitmap DPtoLP(hdcTemp, &ptSize, 1); // Convert from device // to logical points // Create some DCs to hold temporary data. hdcBack = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc); hdcObject = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc); hdcMem = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc); hdcSave = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc); // Create a bitmap for each DC.

BitBlt(hdcSave, 0, 0, ptSize.x, ptSize.y, hdcTemp, 0, 0, SRCCOPY); // Set the background color of the source DC to the color. // contained in the parts of the bitmap that should be transparent cColor = SetBkColor(hdcTemp, cTransparentColor); // Create the object mask for the bitmap by performing a BitBlt // from the source bitmap to a monochrome bitmap. BitBlt(hdcObject, 0, 0, ptSize.x, ptSize.y, hdcTemp, 0, 0, SRCCOPY); // Set the back

Hello, I have application where i need to show modal message window. It should be custom ( not AfxMessageBox ) , so i built a class CPopupDlg which is inherited from CDialog and it's a DLL , because i need to call it from different dialogs ( and i don't want to duplicate it . It doesn't have title bar. CPopup constructor gets "CWnd* pParent" ( for z-order , etc ) So , i call for it in following way ( from another dialogs ): CPopupDlg* pPopupDlg; pPopupDlg = new CPopupDlg( this ); pPopupDlg->SetPopupMessage( m_strPopupMsg ); pPopupDlg->DoModal(); The dialog itself works fine , showing needed msg with custom colors , custom buttons , etc. BUT , there is a problem. There's a title above CPopup dialog ( while originally it doesn't have title bar ) of dialog calling for it. For example , if calling dialog has title text "My Test Window" this text will appear in title above CPopup dialog . Here's screenshot Here's entry from .rc file ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // // Dialog // IDD_POPUP_DIALOG DIALOG DISCARDABLE 0, 0, 187, 92 STYLE WS_POPUP FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif" BEGIN DEFPUSHBUTTON "OK",IDOK,130,7,50,14,NOT WS_VISIBLE PUSHBUTTON "Cancel",IDCANCEL,130,24,50,14,NOT WS_VISIBLE | WS_DISABLED CONTROL "popupOK",IDC_POPUP_OK,"Button",BS_OWNERDRAW | NOT WS_VISIBLE | WS_DISABLED | WS_TABSTOP,15,65,55,15 CONTROL "popupCancel",IDC_POPUP_CANCEL,"Button",BS_OWNERDRAW | NOT WS_VISIBLE | WS_DISABLED | WS_TABSTOP,115,60,50,20 END Any help greatly appreciated ( it's pretty urgent ), thanks a lot
