Hi, Had this in my bookmarks (don't know where the left pane went :sigh: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnwue/html/FRE_word_list.htm[^] Hope this helps

Those properties are just text resources that are automatically added in installers when they're created with InstallShield. Unless one of them was the error message you got, those two lines are pretty much harmless. Look for an error code. Or, if you have the Platform SDK installed, try loading the log file into wilogutil.exe, it's an MSI log viewer. Hope this helps

Hi, You might want to check the COM section right here at CodeProject, there is a Beginner's section. For instance, here is a good intro: Introduction to COM - What it is and How to Use it by Michael Dunn.

Oh that's what I was missing! I have seen a lot of functors examples but they rarely had their own constructor. Thanks!

Thanks for the link, I have been looking for such reading material. And the download is free :cool:

Hi all, I know STL enough to understand containers and iterators but going from Predicates to Unary/Binary and vice versa is a bit unclear to me. I have class CMyClass { public: // SNIP inline CString GetID() const {return m_csID;} // SNIP protected: CString m_csID; // SNIP }; Now suppose I want an array of CMyClass* and detect whether an object of a specified ID already exist. How can I use find_if ? // SNIP vector myarray; LPCTSTR lpszNewID = _T("NEWID"); if (find_if(myarray.begin(), myarray.end(), IsID(lpszNewID)???) != myarray.end()) // then don't add it a second time Any idea how to implement and properly use the "IsID(LPCTSTR lpszID)" part? :confused: Thank you

Have you tried sending WM_LBUTTONDOWN+WM_LBUTTONUP (with proper point) ? I haven't tried it, but it seems to be the starting point of a button press... HTH :-O squidev

Actually, you are refering to a Windows Installer (a.k.a. MSI) property. Nothing to do with InstallShield. But AFAIK, it's their IDE that takes the prize X|

Hi xDiamant, I don't think you can get a button for each and every new control you design. But there is the "Custom Control" button that will allow you to use any control you have created, in the resource editor. This article should help: Creating Custom Controls squidev

To see the dependencies of your programs, use the Dependency Walker tool (depends.exe). To get more info on merge modules and setups in general, try this site:www.installsite.org Hope this helps

In VC++ 6.0: Go to Project->Settings... Go to the C/C++ tab Category = C++ Language Check the box "Enable Run-Time Type Information (RTTI) Set this to both Debug and Release This makes your exe slightly bigger (not that much), but it allows you to query the types of the objects you're using, and use dynamic_cast. Watch out for name clashes when using multiple inheritence. If you really need to use this, make sure the base classes do not have methods with the same name (and the base classes' base classes...). Hope this helps

Hi, Have you tried enabling RTTI for your project ? When it's enabled, instead of throwing an exception, the dynamic_cast will return NULL (make sure you check the return value!:-O) Hope this helps

Are you sure you don't have DependencyWalker ? Look for a file called depends.exe, under [Path to Visual Studio]\Common\Tools Hope this helps

If you can step through your code, you could pin-point the costy call with the use of the @clk pseudo-register. In your watch window, add @clk @clk=0 When you step, the value for @clk will give you how long it took. Hope this helps:)

Try not to create the CClientDC object at each recursive call, but once, then call this: void dlg::floodfill(CDC* pDC, int x, int y, int r , int g, int b) Hope this helps :)
