Ok. I'm almost embarrassed to ask this one, but here goes... I have a dialog box with a CEdit control on it. I'm using it as a logging window, but I can't get it to multiline my text. I'm using a CString member variable to contain the text that is written to it, but when I insert a '\n' or '\r' the CEdit control displays it as a control character inside of moving to the next line. What properties need to be set? The ones that I have checked are: - multiline - horizontal scroll - vertical scroll Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

I believe this is it. CFrameWnd::GetActiveDocument() MD Mark Donkers A witty saying proves nothing. -- Voltaire

That did the trick. Thanks Ravi! MD Mark Donkers A witty saying proves nothing. -- Voltaire

Hello everyone, Wow. It's been a while since I've been here. I was doing some embedded stuff there for a while. It's nice to be back. Anyway, the question that I had has to do with having the ability to cancel a process that is in the middle of a for() loop. What I would like is a dialog that pops up on the over the application window that simply says "Cancel". I was reading used the code from Nishant's article Tutorial - Modeless Dialogs with MFC (http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/gettingmodeless.asp#xx211427xx). I've declared my modeless dialog as a local variable in the function with the loop. In the loop I want to check to see if the Cancel button was pressed. When I enter my loop, I can't press the Cancel button. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance. LONG CTest3431::TestKeypad() { LONG lRetVal = 0; CCancelDlg dlgCancel; dlgCancel.SetProgressText("Running keypad test..."); dlgCancel.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); .... for( i=0; i<sizeof(sbKeys); i++ ) { if( dlgCancel.IsOperationCancelled() ) { lRetVal = -1; break; } .... } Mark Donkers A witty saying proves nothing. -- Voltaire

Thanks... I did a search and didn't find anything. The wrong keywords I guess. Thanks. Mark Donkers A witty saying proves nothing. -- Voltaire

Does anyone know how to auto increment the build and version info in VC6? Admittedly, I'm a little lazy when it comes to this sort of thing. Thanks for any help. Mark Donkers A witty saying proves nothing. -- Voltaire

Hey Gertjan, Yeah. What I did was create another user with Admin privies. I tried to delete the old one, but wouldn't let me. I've disabled Auto-logon so this wouldn't happen again. Anyways, thanks... Mark Donkers A witty saying proves nothing. -- Voltaire

Thanks. Sorry this is such a delayed response. I created a new user with Admin priviledges. I can do everything from that account now, but I can't delete the old one. Oh well, c'est la vie. Thanks again for all the suggestions. Mark Donkers A witty saying proves nothing. -- Voltaire

Thanks again. Unfortunately, it's still a "no-go". I found the DefaultUserName key, but no DefaultPassword. Any more ideas :) In the mean time, I'll try and find some more utilities. Mark Donkers A witty saying proves nothing. -- Voltaire

Thanks Venet. TweakUI does show the asterisks and lets me know how many characters it is. I downloaded a utilty that will reveal what the asterisks are in a text box, but not the TweakUI one. The Copy right-click is disabled as well, so i can't do a cut and paste. Grrrrrrrrr... :mad: Any other ideas??? Mark Donkers A witty saying proves nothing. -- Voltaire

Hi CP, This one's a little embarassing :rolleyes: I enabled the "Auto-logon" feature on my Win2k box about 4 months ago (after re-installing the OS). I thought it'd be a great idea to do this 'cuz it'll be ready to go after I boot. Now I would like to use PSTools to do some remote administration from work, BUT I forgot the password. Does anyone know of any password recovery tools that I can use. TIA Mark Donkers A witty saying proves nothing. -- Voltaire

:rolleyes: Forget it. I found it. SetSystemTime() Mark Donkers A witty saying proves nothing. -- Voltaire

Hello CP, I'm working on an embedded PC, and the user doesn't have luxury of a keyboard or mouse (only a touchscreen). I have to create a dialog that will allow the user to set the time and date. What is the API call that I can do to take care of this? TIA! Mark Donkers A witty saying proves nothing. -- Voltaire

Martin, This is perfect! Thanks a million :-D Mark Donkers A witty saying proves nothing. -- Voltaire

A friend of mine introduced me to this "trick" with the watch window. When watching an HRESULT, you can format the result to something that makes a little more sense. Here's an example... If I have a variable HRESULT hr; and if I put hr,hr in the watch window it formats the value of hr into text. So if the hr = 0 the watch window would read "S_OK". Does anyone know of other cool watch window tricks like this? TIA Mark Donkers A witty saying proves nothing. -- Voltaire
