Strange .. it doesn't work. In fact, if I add the LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS option, the control works as if there was a hot item, the fact to keep the mouse pointer over an item selects it, but as soon as I click my buttons, the highlight desappears ... Very strange ... Could it be a kind of icompatibility with another option? I also use : LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES, LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT, LVS_EX_GRIDLINES, LVS_EX_INFOTIP, LVS_REPORT I really don't understand what happens .. Thanks in advance for help DD

Hello, yes, how stupid I am !! you are totally right, I modified this option on my Win2k station and forget to say to do so when configuring the WinXP station. Thanks DD

I was going to suggest importing the file into an Access table, making the modifications, then exporting the data back to a CSV file. It would have taken a few more seconds, but would have solved the problem. A rich person is not the one who has the most, but the one that needs the least.

CStatic::SetBitmap() (or send an STM_SETIMAGE message) and LoadImage with LR_LOADFROMFILE parameter (for BMPs). JPGs you can load with OleLoadPicturePath() and obtain hBmp through IPicture::get_Handle. You can also use IPicture::Render() to draw loaded image.

ok, i have found my 1st problem ... it is due to the wrong date format I passed in the WHERE clause, it must me in the US format (MM/DD/YYYY) and I was giving it in french format (DD/MM/YYYY) ... So, I don't need to upgrade the MSJet stuff Nevertheless, I would like to know if anyone has an idea on the strange message displayed by the prog supposed to upgrade MSJet ... Regards DD

DavidCrow wrote: It sounds like the "dBASE Files" DSN is not configured correctly. If it was, there would be no reason to specifiy filenames, database names, paths, etc in your code. yes, as I said myself before, I just discover on ODBC pannel the check saying that the current directory is the home directory for my file, I will go deeper in investigations tonight DavidCrow wrote: Assuming the database exists, you can create the DSN programatically by using SQLConfigDataSource(NULL, ODBC_ADD_DSN, ...). that's a good point ! because when I put my little applications on several stations, I always have to configure manually ODBC, I could do it in a little installation executable. The same, if you have a piece of advice to automate the installation of a new ODBC driver ... I take it . DavidCrow wrote: I don't use .dbf files, but I think that File should be the name of a table within the database. That's what my MySQL statement looks like, but for .dbf files ?? I looked at 2 or 3 examples using this syntax and it seems that I can access the file like this without too many problems ... 2 good reasons to keep it like that until someone tells me that my manner is totally wrong ;-)) DavidCrow wrote: It looks sort of like a date column, which means you use #02/08/2001# to compare against. It's probably the reason, I will test it ASAP Thanks DD

Hello, my code seems to work correctly, but I have some problems : 1) SELECT in the files returns me no record but an error message: "Impossible de trouver le fichier memo xBase Demande", in english it can be traduced by "impossible to find the requested xBase memo file" .... If I open the file with Excel and launch my appli accessing the file, all records are correctly selected and returned ... Strange I know, but true. Simple, to test my appli and until I have a better solution, I just open all accessed files with Excel at the same time ... Any idea on the cause of this problem and its solution? 2) I thought I had a too old version of my ODBC drivers, so I wanted to upgrade them ... With microsoft, it is never easy to find anything, so what should I upgrade to upgrade my ODBC drivers ? Seems to be MSJet engine ... So I downloaded the lastest MSJet4.0 sp8, but when I want to install it, it refuses to do it and tells me that I should already have at least the sp3 installed to install this sp8 ... The problem is that, when I verify manually the version of the dll, the version corresponds to a sp5 ... So I don't know what to do to perform my installation ... 3) ODBC and MDAC ... are both linked ? if I upgrade ODBC, should I also upgrade MDAC ? and if yes, which version of MDAC should I install (I have the MDAC 2.5 sp2 installed at the moment)? 4) in one of my dbf table, I have to make a selection on an ID to retrieve a record. This ID seems to be numeric but must not be declared as a standard numeric or even text value (I am thinking to an auto incremented value or style like that) because, in my clause WHERE, when I don't use the quotes, ODBC send me a error message saying that my format is not correct, and when I use the quotes, I don't receive the error, but no record is returned (even if my file is opened with Excel ...) is the any other way to write my request ? Sorry to bug you again with this but I am a little bit stuck Regards DD

Hello, Finally I choose to play with GDI . So I use these pDC->MoveTo(Startx, z) and pDC->LineTo((Startx + LTot), z) to draw the grid and these pDC->GetTextExtent(C61Title[0]) and pDC->TextOut(a, b, C61Title[0]) to put my value in the grid. Now, in order to better differenciate the titles from the values, I would like to fill in grey the cells before writting my titles in ... do you have an idea of how I can do this ? Thanks in advance DD

In fact, I found the solution on another forum. Here is the wrong code proposed by microsoft : CString pDate; CTime ct; if( m_MonthCal_1.GetCurSel(ct) ) { pDate.Format(_T("%02d/%02d/%2d"),ct.GetMonth(),ct.GetDay(),ct.GetYear()); AfxMessageBox(pDate); // just for testing } Here is the right code : CString pDate; SYSTEMTIME ct; if( m_MonthCal_1.GetCurSel(&ct) ) { pDate.Format(_T("%02d/%02d/%2d"),ct.wMonth ,ct.wDay, ct.wYear ); AfxMessageBox(pDate); // just for testing } The correct way is to use a SYSTEMTIME instead of a CTime type ... DD

Thanks for answer on accelerator and the good idea the trick of the static control !! I will use it ! Bye

Hmm.. Apart from changing f.Close; to f.Close(); and setting WinExec("Notepad.exe myfile.txt",SW_SHOW) to WinExec("c:\\WINNT\\Notepad.exe myfile.txt",SW_SHOW); it all works okay. It looks like one of those annoying ones that works on one PC and not the other! :( I don't know if it is worth setting up a timer to send a WM_TIMER message and handling the message to open Notepad after about a quarter of a second or so and seeing what happens? hope this helps. Sounds very perplexing! :eek: Adam. "I spent a lot of my money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered" George Best.

>>You don't have to be. This is basic Win32 API programming. there are so many other things more interesting than printing ... I am just learning and coding in VC++ by myself, the night at home, and loos e so much time on a single problem like this one ... and have some many other things to do ... >>You looked in the wrong place (or with the wrong search phrase(s)). I am not a specialist from the web neither, i use google and then jump in the thousands links or post some question on forums after having searched for a solution in already existing posts. What's the right phrase to print in vc++ an chart produced by an activeX Mschart? Try by yourself and we'll see if you are more lucky or efficient than me ;-) >>Try looking at MSDN and the samples there. there so many articles, the one more complicated than the other. It is simple, when I want to find something in MSDN, I never find it. Print for example, there is no simple doc explaining the right way to do it with a good significative example (at least when you search with their "search for"). another thing, I am coding in vc++, I don't give a damn about article talking of VB or other . Try to find out how to print chart produced by using a MsChart activeX, the only info I found is for VB. Try to search in the newsgroup, this question appear several times for at least 2 years, but there is no answer neither from students nor from microsoft ... Frankly, I don't understand why there is no "Print" method as there is an "EditCopy" method ... or at least the explanation to do it. DD

I did this awhile back. I tried the grab the DC approach and had limited success. I ended up using the clipboard approach, the control copies a WMF image to the clipboard. I really disliked this approach but it seemed to be the prescribed approach. If you want send me an e-mail to nwilhelmi@attbi.com and I can send you some code when I get home. The app was done with WTL so it will be WIN32api based and not MFC based. NW

Some other folk posted a message some days ago about using a hidden CRichEditCtrl for printing purposes. Doing a quick search on the net yielded this article. Also, creating a simple RFC on the fly is easy. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo
