Hi Codeproject People, I have create a Custom Wizard that works fine on the machine I created it. I use CVS to add the project to a repository.... where after I checkout the module onto another machine and test it there.... but... when running the Custom Wizard project on the other machine it will never get added to the components list ( all those icons in the new project panel ). What am I missing? regards Peter Marino Peter Marino IO Interactive

Hi all, I have one iframe element on my aspx page. I want to pass the content of the iframe back to the codebehind file for saving to the database. Is there any way to grab this information and post back? Peter Marino IO Interactive

come on somebody help me! Peter Marino IO Interactive

Hi all, I have been working with a webcontrol that will render a IFRAME, so I can copy/paste html code into it. So far I can do exactly that but I can't read the contents from the IFRAME. Can anybody help?! Here is my render code: protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter output) { output.Write( "" ); output.Write( "function document.onreadystatechange()" ); output.Write( "{" ); output.Write( "idContent.document.designMode='On'" ); output.Write( "}" ); output.Write( "" ); output.Write( "" ); } how do I read the contents of the IFRAME?! Peter Marino PS: I have used almost a whole month on this problem!! all my hair is gray now!:eek: Peter Marino IO Interactive

where do I setup the ASP.NET Server Service? and where do I create the ASPNET user account?, I looked in the user account information and didn't find anything about asp accounts.

ASP.NET Server Service running,.. what exactly is that,.. I have installed the iis and it is running fine,.. I can see normal asp webpages. but not with any web form controls on them. what is a ASPNET user account? I have tried looking for aspnet_wp.exe and couldn't find it. plz note: I'm running this on an Windows XP how do I reinstall the redist,.. I just installed the microsoft developer studio .net stuff,.. nothing more nothing less. Peter

are you saying that if I have "one" control without runat="server" this will cause the controls not to appear ( all of them ) ?

I have the same problem and also would like some help to why none of my web form control appear? note,. that the HTML controls do work and are visible,.. but using web form controls ... well I just can't see them:confused:

I've done some debugging,.. checking to see how the CControlBar is intergrated with MFC... I would really like to say thanks for pointing out that the source code for MFC was on my harddisk :-) I didn't even know that. I haven't any solution right now,.. and I have just started my vacation and will be leaving tommorow to see the WM for Tumbling/Trampolin the next 1½ weeks,... so there will be a pause before I can continue,... but as soon as I get back,.. I'll continue where I left off and notify you of my status. thanx again Peter Marino ( IO Interactive )

The CDockBar is not documented,.. and I only have the header source,... do you know where I could get some information on it? and where I could get the .cpp source for it?

ok,.. I've worked a couple hours on this,.. and I have a version now that can save some of the dialogbar states and reload them dynamically. This works also if the ID has changed and if the dialogbar is new or delete... so far so good.... now I have problem with that if two dialogbars share the same row,.. they do not get put into the same row,.. do you know what information that tells CControlBar what row/column a dialogbar is in? Peter Marino ( IO Interactive www.marino.dk )

That's my main problem,.. all my dialogbars are created via plugins,.. and I can't assume that all users will have the same number or even the same plugins when they start the application. So I need a general way of positioning the dialogbars on startup. For example if a user has dialog A,B,C. And next time he starts he has dialogbar A and D. Then dialogbar A should have the same position as last time, and because dialog D is new it should be set to floating. The main problem is that LoadBarState is expecting the same number of dialogs and that the dialogbars have the same ID. Because the plugins are dynamic then all dialogbars are given different ID numbers at startup. I hope this makes it clearer., Peter Marino ( IO Interactive )

I have a class that docks resizable dialogbars,.. but I have a problem saving the state and loading it. The states are actually save/load correctly but because my dialogbars are dynamic, by this I mean that if I start the application then there might only be 3 dialogbars and next time prehaps only 10 or 1 or whatever... The LoadBarState crashes when I do this,.. does anybody know that MFC internal code does to save the dialogbar states,.. prehaps saving and loading it myself might work better... but I can't see what the internal values are? anybody. Peter Marino ( IO Interactive )

hehe, I think all programmers have been here. I work for a game-programming company and game-programmers are not very good creating comments or explaining anything,... so the first thing I do when I start on a former project is to comment what is going on. I also change the way the code looks, this might sound strange but each programmer has there way of using indents and code alignment, by changing the code to your appeal makes it easier to understand. It's boring to do this change but I found it to help me a lot. Peter Marino ( IO Interactive ) Hitman2 will be even better!

well, it is kind of a dream job :-) , I have worked with business software as well. I worked for MGI ( www.mgisoft.com ) developing a DTP program called Calamus. You are 50% correct about the "nerve raking" and "stressful". Last first, stressful is correct. Delievering our deadlines means that sometimes we work 24 hours a day and don't come home after a couple of weeks, and if we went home it would only be to get a couple of hours of sleep. Nerve raking it isn't, actually when we are not stressed then I would say that game-developement is probably the best kind of work you can get. Everybody that works at IO-Interactive are crazy about games and when we are not programming we are playing counter-strike, quake 2/3, or some other kind of game. Every second Friday we all go out, eat dinner, drink beers, play pool, and so on... ( that's life :-) In conclusion I would say if you like games and can program,... then be a game programmer! :cool: Peter Marino

I'm working on Hitman 2 at IO Interactive. Luv this site because it helps when creating tools our project. :cool: Peter Marino ( www.marino.dk )

ok,... it sounds like I have completly misunderstood how the a dll should work. The Start2 test is comparing the g_lpThis pointer to the actual this pointer,... which isn't the same,.. why isn't it the same, that is my question. Ok, I got an answer at Codeguru,... it's because my Start2 is seen from the App as a "C" call and not a "C++" object call CDeleteMeDLLApp::Start2. This explains it. Which in turn also gives you the correct answer when you tell me that I don't have an instance of the CDeleteMeDllApp,.. well there is an instance, I just don't have it in my App program. thx a lot. now I can sleep :-) Peter Marino www.marino.dk

My "this" pointer in my DLL is getting f*ck up,.. I don't know why. I have create a small 72K zipped test application and dll that shows this problem. download it here. www.marino.dk/misc/dlltest01.zip run the application, and click on the 'help' menu and then the 'testme2' menu item. Here you should get an example of a "this" pointer being destroyed. Plz somebody help me, Peter Marino ( IO Interactive ) www.marino.dk

ok, now I'm completly confused, but your solution seems to work?! another strange thing is that the compiler can't find the AfxLoadLibrary when using static, which I also find very confusing.... I'm now trying to use your fix in my main project,.. hope it works,... thx a lot Peter Marino ( www.marino.dk ) ps: finished testing in my main application,.. it works :-) jubii!!! If you ever come to Denmark then I'm buying you dinner ;-)

I still haven't been able to solve my problem with the ::IsWindow asserting in the dll when call SetWindowText() in the dll for the main application dialog. To make this more understandable I have upload a test application that shows the problem. full source code is attached with it and you must rebuild it, I delete all object and exe files so the download will not take to long. The file is under 500k byte and includeds both the App and DLL. -load the workspace for the app,.. this work spaces is setup so if you just rebuild all it should compile and run. When runnning you will notice that the DLL IsWindow fails?! why?! I need help here. here is the link to download the test program: www.marino.dk/misc/dlltest01.zip plz note, always run the debug version!!:confused: Peter Marino ( www.marino.dk ) Programmer for IO Interactive ( Hitman Codename 47 )
