I Have a CString which contains port names. CString cs = "COM1"; char portname[5]; 1. What is the memory representation of cs above (I have this question since I think it is multibyte/wide char)? 2. How to copy above cs into portname ? I need portname to contain {'C','O','M','1','\0'} Thanks JC

Hi, I have an MFC application written manually (no wizard) as below. I am able to add a menu to it. But I also need a form view (where i can add buttons and other controls) . I created the required form in the resource editor (Resources->Dialog->IDD_FORMVIEW). But how can I attach this IDD_FORMVIEW to my CDemoFrame? Thanks JC class CDemoFrame : public CFrameWnd { CDemoFrame(); } CDemoFrame::CDemoFrame() { ... Create(NULL, _T("My Demo Application"), WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, CRect(Left,Top,Right,Bottom), NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_DEMO_MENU));//Adding menu for demo application ... } BOOL CMyDemoApp::InitInstance() { ... m_pMainWnd = new CDemoFrame; ... m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_NORMAL); ... }

Thank you very much. But I am still trying to find a way to install driver via Setup & Deployment Project. If nothing works out I will consider InstallShield.

A program run as par of the project did not finish as exepected .." How to configure Setup and Deployment project for executing above exe?

But what if the usage is as below? The variable temp is not going out of scope. Will it cause leak? CString temp; //global variable while(1) { temp = "hello"; //Assignment 1 temp = "world"; //Assignment 2 }

Hi, Do the following will cause memory leak? CString temp; //global variable temp = "hello"; //Assignment 1 temp = "world"; //Assignment 2 What will happen to the memory allocated for "hello"? Will it be released at assignment of "world"? Thanks JC
