If you are interested, there are a few libraries out there that can do this for you. One I found that is very good is Xtreme Docking Pane. See: http://www.codejock.com/products/dockingpane/. Very affordable and comes in MFC, ActiveX and .NET Windows Forms. Cheers, Scott Evans

Good UI and component sourceXtreme Toolkit Professional Edition is much better! BCG is nice, but are lacking when compared to the office gui's that they are thing to mimic. Codejock does a much nicer job in this area, and their components are an almost exact match to Office. Additionally, BCG is definitely not cheaper either, I just did a price comparison and they are actually priced more than Codejock libraries by a few bucks, both standard and professional. ;) Cheers, Scott Evans

Good UI and component sourceHello! Mr. Franks seems quite misinformed. :zzz: Codejock Software's products are completely and professionally written, and are no way a collection of articles from codeguru as he suggests. I know that one of their developers did a freeware collection way back around 97'-98, but that is no way affiliated with any of their commercial products. If you haven’t seen their products I would suggest that you take a look at Xtreme Toolkit Professional Edition, which I would say is probably one of the best, professionally written libraries I have seen out there, and I have reviewed several including the Prof-UIS one. :cool: See: Xtreme Toolkit Professional Edition Cheers, Scott Evans

Programmatically set Visual C++ Directories for .NET:-D Thank you, that did the trick!

Programmatically set Visual C++ Directories for .NETHi PJ, Thanks for the answer, however I have tried that already with no success, sorry I should have mentioned that. It seems that when you insert a path using the registry editor, lets say: Include Dirs - C:\My Company\My Code\Include; And open VisualStudio.NET and choose "Tools", "Options", "Projects", "VC++ Directories" and select Include Files, you will not see the path you just added. Additionally, if you add this path from within VisualStudio, you will not see the registry entry update either. It appears that this registry entry is not really used, or used for another purpose and there is an external file that VS.NET is using to store and read this information from. Any help in solving this mystery would be greatly appreciated :-D Cheers, Scott

Programmatically set Visual C++ Directories for .NETHello... Was wondering if anyone knows how to programmatically set the Visual C++ paths for .NET. In the old days of VC6, you could update the registry settings in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\DevStudio\6.0\Build System\Components\Platforms\Win32 (x86)\Directories" which worked just fine. However I could not locate this key for VC7, any help would be greatly appreciated. :-D - Scott

Advanced GUIThere is a BIG difference between "some ideas" or "inspired by" and "cut-n-paste" Windiff does tell the whole story! On another note, I have talked to several collegues / devleopers via internet, trade shows and such that have tried your library, the words bloated and redundant came up quite often, not just my words ;) In the spirit of fairness BCG does look ok on the surface, but contains way too much baggage, thanks but no thanks!

Advanced GUII really found this thread most interesting, but then I read this comment, and could not contain my laughter, I cannot believe that you actually have the nerve to claim credit for writing all of this code not to mention sell it for a profit :eek:, I have to speak up here! First off, if anyone is interested, here is a link back to the old CodeGuru archive: http://codeguru.earthweb.com/toolbar/BCGControlBar.shtml you will notice once you have looked at the article several links toward the bottom of the page that clearly indicate that you did indeed "TAKE" code from CodeGuru to create the BCG library, you basically used Tony Hoyle's code and built upon it. I have looked at your "library" and can honestly tell you that it may look nice on the surface, however, it is a very bloated and redundant piece of code. I have also compared it to other libraries such as Codejock, and even the quality of the aesthetics is very poor in comparison, my moneys on Codejock! Regards, Scott Evans

Resizing List Control ColumnsHello All! I am perplexed and am hoping that someone out there could help me figure this out. I have an application that uses a CListCtrl. When the application window is resized, I would like to dynamically resize each of the columns to fit the view. I have had a little success, however, as the application is resizing, the horizontal scroll bar flickers on and off as the columns are being resized :(( . This happens only when I have "show window contents while dragging" enabled in Windows, when this is turned off you don't notice the problem. What I am trying to do is similar to Outlook where the columns are resized as the window is resized. Please help, as I have exhausted all resources trying to find an answer to this, but have had no success. Warm Regards, Scott Evans
