I have the following problem: I need to find all cases, when a word (say 'CodeProject') is used in an MS Word file. Each time this word is found the page number should be somehow saved or displayed. I'm not familiar with VB, so I really need help! Thanks in advance!

I wonder, what problems each of you has been given at the interview? I think that would be both interesting and useful for everyone at CodeProject!

The problem is clear. Some solutions have already been mentioned but the easiest way to do it is ifstream inFile("text.dat", ios::nocreate);The default value is ios::in

Actually I can't understand what for you need to convert some text into a path :) But it seems to me that each letter of your text is a subpath and you should close each subpathwith the help of CloseFigure function. (Petzold "Programming Windows 95", Chapter 4) Hope this helps

Please ask a more detailed question. What exactly would you like to know? Then perhaps several people will divide the work between themselves and write several tutorials. Be specific :)

The clue has already been posted: you'd better pass a pointer rather than the whole object. You try to pass the whole object and consequently a copy of your object. To make a copy you need a constructor CFileDialog(const CFileDialog &) Even if you had it, it would be a poor way of implementing what you want because it would be too time- and resource- consuming. Thus pass a pointer and enjoy. Hope this helps.

Thanks, the idea of charity work is brilliant, but there's one problem. You know, I live in Russia and we don't seem to have any 'charity events'. Is there any information about green events available in the Internet or somewhere else online?

Oh yeah, thanks, that helped, it turned out to be m_wndDlgBar

Please, help!!

Thanks, I've got your idea. But how exactly should I obtain a handle to the ReBar window? (sorry, I'm just a beginner)

Well, there is a bit in "Programming VC++ 6.0" (Kruglinski, Wingo, Shepherd), Chapter 11, example 11D. In fact, there is an electronic variant of the book but it's a bit too large (about 11 Mb) Hope this helps.

I've a ReBar in my SDI-Application and an Extended Combo Box in it. With the help of Class Wizard I select an existing class (CMainFrame) to be associated with the IDR_MAINFRAME resource of the rebar. In CMainFrame I create a OnSelChangeComboboxex1() function. It looks like this: CComboBoxEx *pCombo = (CComboBoxEx *)GetDlgItem(IDC_COMBOBOXEX1); int nSel = pCombo->GetCurSel(); etc. But the program fails because of some unhandled exception. I really don't know what the problem can be. Someone, please, help!

VC++ adds some headers all by itself so you may have forgotten to include some file (this has already been said before). So just open VC++ and add a class with Class Wizard.

How exactly did you create a class? A safe way of doing that is to create a simple AppWizard project and use Class Wizard to create a generic class. Thus Class Wizard will generate the headers so that you'll only need to add your code.

I wonder if there's a way of making Windows not reallocate the memory for CArray objects without using CArray::SetSize(int) function? I mean I want to create a dynamic array of relatively large objects and I need pointers to the elements. When I add a new element with CArray::Add function, the operating system reallocates the memory and my pointers to the previous elements become invalid. Is there any way of 'fixing' the addresses of the elements?

Thanks, Mike, it really fixed things!

I've noticed several times that the 'Auto Complete' function in my VC++ Editor doesn't work in certain parts of the code. Despite numerous attempts I haven't noticed any logic its behaviour: sometimes it works, sometimes not. Has anyone ever had such a problem or is it a bug of my version?

I wonder what 'Microsoft' line means in this statistics. What technologies do they mean by that?

Chris Losinger wrote: where in the program? Well, I'm calling it in OnLButtonDown (just as a test). By this time the window is definitely already shown.
