thanks a lot. - tareq of all the things i've lost, i miss my mind the most

Hi evey1, I am working on a dll addon for an app1 where i need to retrieve some info from app2. but the app2 sdk allows only to collect data via WM_COPYDATA (it will send you to your window). Now, if I were to make a separate application for this, I would just collect the data from my WindowProc. But here I have to do this from a dll. Also I understand there is no HWND for a dll. One work around this problem i am thinking of is to create a hidden window from the dll and use its windowproc to handle WM_COPYDATA. But is there any other easier way to do this? I am not using MFC but might consider using MFC if this can be done easily. Thanks in advance ppl. - tareq of all the things i've lost, i miss my mind the most

Hi all, got a weird issue... got my new laptop and was installing VS.NET 2003 on it... but after a successful install, when i run the ide, it starts very slow (after almost 3/4 mins). Also when i create a new project, it takes similar time ... i looked at task manager, it shows all processes normal. I'm running Windows XP SP2 /w all the latest updates. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks in advance ppl... - tareq of all the things i've lost, i miss my mind the most

Get yourself the microsoft directx 9 sdk[^] and look @ the 'CaptureSound' sample. - tareq

For remote connections, i think you need to add your remote ip to the mysql database table (dont exactly remember which one... check the manual). If it worked for localhost, it should also work for remote host after you have the permission for the remote ip. Hope this helps. - tareq

Does the adapter show up in your phones and modems list in control panel? - tareq

The easiest way to find out what header/lib to use, look up the function in MSDN and at the bottom you'll find function information. Hope this helps. - tareq

Yes... read the image file (look for hints and code in the forum and articles) and then use ::SetClipboardData() (look it up in MSDN ... there is also an example there.). Hope this helps. - tareq

Serious Sam? works for me... :-D - tareq

Assuming youre using MFC ... use the following code...

HBITMAP bmp = (HBITMAP)::LoadImage(::GetModuleHandle(0), _T("Coffee.bmp"), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE);
CBitmap* pBitmap = CBitmap::FromHandle(bmp);
CPaintDC dc(this);
CDC memDc;
memDc.CreateCompatibleDC(&dc);
CBitmap* pMemBmp = memDc.SelectObject(pBitmap);
dc.BitBlt(0,0,200,200,&memDc,0,0,SRCCOPY); //put your image width,height for the 3rd and 4th param

memDc.SelectObject(pMemBmp);
::DeleteObject(bmp);

- tareq

Use ::LoadImage() ... look it up in MSDN. Hope this helps. - tareq

Shouldnt this be something like....

CreateProcess("C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\Common\\MSDev98\\Bin\\msdev.exe",NULL,NULL,NULL,TRUE,DEBUG_PROCESS
,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL)

Hope this helps. - tareq

Why not simple ::SellExecute()? Try this...

::ShellExecute(NULL, _T("open"), _T("c:\\windows\\notepad.exe"), _T(""), _T(""), SW_SHOW);

Hope this helps. - tareq

Thanks for a lot for your reply... I'll go through it. - tareq

How do i get the button id for a specific tab page? Thanks. - tareq

Sorry about the misunderstanding i've created. Let me be more specific. I havent done much programming with tab controls... I have a MFC tab control. I've got rid of the borders by setting the tab style to buttons. Now i have the tabs with buttons associated with them. Now i dont want even the buttons to be there. I want to control the tabs using SetCurSel()... no button clicks. Thanks in advance. - tareq

Thanks for your reply... but unfortunately this is not what i was looking for. This will still show the buttons there with no text on them... I just dont want to see those buttons there. - tareq

Hi all, I am trying to hide the captoins of a tab control but cant seem to find any way to do this. Any kind of hints or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks. - tareq

For painting the bitmap into your static, use

CPaintDC dc(this);
CDC MemDc;
CRect rcClient;
GetClientRect(&rcClient);
MemDc.CreateCompatibleDC(this->GetDC());
CBitmap* pMemBitmap = MemDc.SelectObject(&m_Bitmap); //m_Bitmap is the handle to your bitmap
if (pMemBitmap)
   dc.BitBlt(0, 0, rcClient.right, rcClient.bottom, &MemDc, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);
MemDc.SelectObject(pMemBitmap);

Sorry cant help you with the scrollbar thing... hope this helps. - tareq

Look for CCommandLineInfo for the MFC way in the MSDN docs ... You can also use ::GetCommandLine() Win32 API for the passed command line. Hope this helps. - tareq
