I'm not sure what you're referring to here. The user doesn't need to have administrative privileges to submit a dump file. theCPkid wrote: second thing is it is "windows" specific.

I was not directing towards the actual bug that is mentioned in the article, but the versions of Visual Studio. theCPkid wrote: VS 07 No such thing :D But, it is understandable since as with many software packages, there's always some new version popping up once once gets settled with the current version.

Visual studio Tag expression is {} and not (). If I use {} instead of (), I get correct values in %1, %2. Any idea how can I properly indent the inserted brackets. THey are inserted at start of line whereas 'if' can be indented?

After two disappointing days, the problem was found to be with parent window CWnd object. making rich edit control a child of cdialog works correctly. :zzz: anyway, thanks for the reply.

I would love to take credit for it but I probably snaffled it from a tutorial in SQL 6.5, it has been around for a LOOOOnng time. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

oh! I got your point. I did not think about it earlier. Thanks again.

modeless dialogs don't have a message loop. so if you want to process the messages than you need a second GUI thread to launch and show the dialog! Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

OK, I get you now. I thought todo list was your entire application. And that's why I asked you to write your app in managed code. Besides that, I don't see a way you could use the google calendar APIs in your application, because that is entirely managed code. :) Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself. - Cicero .·´¯`·->Rajesh<-·´¯`·.

thanks for the reply. Yes, now I am able to compile it now but that sample did not meet my requirement so I left it long back. the fruits of your success will be in direct ratio to the honesty and sincerity of your own efforts in keeping your own records, doing your own thinking and, reaching your own conclusions. ..surviving in autumn..in love with spring..

For in-place editing, Steen Krogsgaard has given you the idea. theCPkid wrote: Second, I am wondering whether xml is the right way to store this data or do I have other options? Well, that totally depends on your choice. You can put it in the registry as well. If it is in an XML or inf file, it becomes easily portable (if such a thing is desired).

First of all, thank you for your comments. They have make me notice some things I can improve in my code :) theCPkid wrote: the standard DoPreparePrinting code as it provides better error checking like what if CreatePrinterDC fails? your funciton will still return TRUE but not so in case of standard code. Yes, you are right, but you can add that error checking all the security you want/need before returning TRUE. (I will change it) theCPkid wrote: but if you deleting the print dialog at beginning, then wont the settings entered by user in print setup box will be lost? No. You are right, I am deleting the standard CPrintDialog, but changing it with my CDlgPrinting that is derivation of it (I actually made a copy of the standard and modified it to fit my needs), so it has the support for print-setup as well. theCPkid wrote: Say, you select A4 size in print setup box and when you go to print->properties, will it show A4 size selected or default size, probably letter selected? The trick is that I have no "print setup" in the main frame menu, it has to be made through my dialog if you don't want to print with the standards (A4, portrait, black and white). I made a test in a plotter and it was successfull with A4 and A3, I don't allow smaller pages because of my application's workspace. I print graphics, tables and other things, needed info wouldn't fit otherwise or, I have to zoom it out it would be too small to be clearly understood. But I restrict some setup because of depending on where is being printed it "must" be printed with some specifical configuration, so I give it "manually" in the code of the view. theCPkid wrote: Just adjusting the font size etc accordingly whether we are in print preview mode or displaying on monitor or sending to printer. Why? I am using the same font for both and it works good. I create them with: CFont fontLabels, fontInfo; fontLabels.CreatePointFont (80, "MS Sans Serif", pDC); fontInfo.CreatePointFont (140, "MS Sans Serif", pDC); theCPkid wrote: And dmPaperLength and dmPaperWidth were always zero although dmPaperSize was changing properly. I initially thought of storing length, width in a table but that would have been very very and very tedious.
