hi.. You need to derive a new class using CEdit as the base class. There you can code either OnKeydown() or OnChar(, or PreTranslateMessage() message to suit your needs. For PreTranslateMessage() here is the code...Hope it'll help you BOOL CMyEdit::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) { if(pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN ) { int nVirtKey = (int) pMsg->wParam; if(nVirtKey >= 97 && nVirtKey <= 122) //For Lower Case { MessageBox("Cannot enter alphabets"); } if(nVirtKey >= 65 && nVirtKey <= 90) //For Upper Case { MessageBox("Cannot enter alphabets"); } } return CEdit::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg); } Bye... :rolleyes: Vikram Kashyap "You will never fail until you stop trying"

Hi... I think you probably need to ship the supporting DLL's also required by your application. Check the Dll name that is appearing in the message box when u try to execute the application. Bye... Vikram Kashyap "You will never fail until you stop trying"

Hi, You run a loop and check the ASCII value of the charter entered into that edit box. If the value is falling between 97 - 122 (means user is trying to enter some alphabets using lower case), if the value is falling between 65 - 90 (means user is trying to enter some alphabets using upper case). Here you can give the appropriate message. Bye.... :rolleyes:

Hi, Click on "Project" in the main menu bar. Select Add To Project->Components and Controls. Select Visual C++ Components from the Components and Controls Gallery Dialog box and click on Splash Screen and finally click on "Insert" button. Sit back and relax, rest is done by MFC for you. You just need to design the bitmap for ur Splash Screen. :laugh: Vikram Kashyap "You will never fail until you stop trying"

Hi You have not talked about any gap in the first phase, where u r coloring the control to give it a normal look. Which gap r u talking about, Please explain properly... :confused: Vikram Kashyap "You will never fail until you stop trying"

Hi, If you are using MFC, then u can use the following code to connect to access database. BOOL CMyDatabaseTesting::ConnectToDatabase() { if(!m_pdb) m_pdb = new CDatabase; CString StrConnectString; try { //Two Methods of connecting //1. Through the database path as described below //2. Using DSN, i.e, "DSN=szDSN;UID=szUsername;PWD=szPassword; StrConnectString.Format("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=%s;UID=%s;PWD=%s",strDBPath/*Contains the database path*/, "Admin",szPassword/*Password of database (fi any)*/); m_pdb->OpenEx(StrConnectString,CDatabase::noOdbcDialog); } catch(CDBException *e) { if(e->m_strError.Find("Login failed") != -1) { MessageBox(0, e->m_strError, "Error1", MB_OK); return FALSE; } else if((e->m_strError.Find("Server user id") != -1) && (e->m_strError.Find("is not a valid user in database") != -1)) { MessageBox(0, e->m_strError, "Error2", MB_OK); return FALSE; } else if(e->m_strError.Find("Data source name not found and no default driver specified") != -1) { MessageBox(0, e->m_strError, "Error3", MB_OK); e->Delete(); if(m_pdb) { if(m_pdb->IsOpen()) m_pdb->Close(); delete m_pdb; m_pdb = NULL; } return FALSE; } else { //Database related error MessageBox(0, e->m_strError, "Database Error", MB_OK); return FALSE; } if(m_pdb) { if(m_pdb->IsOpen()) m_pdb->Close(); delete m_pdb; m_pdb = NULL; } e->Delete(); return FALSE; } return TRUE; } Where m_pdb is a pointer to CDatabase. Also don't forget to include in stdafx.h file. That's it, you are connect to the database. Enjoy... :wtf: Vikram Kashyap "You will never fail until you stop trying"

Hi, Yes, you need to load that Accelerator table. HACCEL gAccel; //Declare in header file //Add this code to the OnInItDialog of your dialog class gAccel = LoadAccelerators(AfxGetApp()->m_hInstance,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MYACCEL)); //Add this code to PreTranslateMessage if(TranslateAccelerator(AfxGetMainWnd()->m_hWnd,gAccel,pMsg)) return FALSE; This should work....

Hello, You can simply take the handle of the SystemMenu using GetSystemMenu and remove the Move menu. The code goes like this... void CMainFrame::DisableMoveWindow() { CMenu* pSysMenu = GetSystemMenu(FALSE); if (pSysMenu != NULL) { pSysMenu->RemoveMenu(1, MF_BYPOSITION); } } Call this function in the OnCreate of CMainFrame() ;) Vikram Kashyap "You will never fail until you stop trying"

Hi,;) Yes, Certainly you can change the bitmap at run time during the MOUSEMOVE or on LBUTTONDOWN. Let's take the example of MOUSEMOVE void CMouseDlg::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint point) { m_Image.GetWindowRect(&rect); ClientToScreen(&point); if(rect.PtInRect(point)) { m_Image.SetBitmap(m_Bitmap1); } else { m_Image.SetBitmap(m_Bitmap2); } CDialog::OnMouseMove(nFlags, point); } Here m_Image is the control type variable of Image control created using Class Wizard and rect is CRect object. // m_Image.GetWindowRect(&rect); Extract the image control co-ordinates in a rect object. // ClientToScreen(&point); ClientToScreen is used to convert the client coordinates of a given point or rectangle on the display to screen coordinates. Next step is to check whether these points fall under the area where our image is place on the screen using PtInRect. If yes, then change the bitmap to whatever. m_Bitmap1 and m_Bitmap2 are twom CBitmap type objects defined in the header file. That's it...you r on ur way to change the bitmaps at runtime Vikram Kashyap "You will never fail until you stop trying"

:rose: Hi Friends, I've a treectrl on a dialog based application which gets populated from ms-access database containing some 2000 records in OnInItDialog. To fetch the data, i am simply using the SQLFetch and inserting it using a while loop in treectrl using InsertItem, but it takes too much of time. Can anybody help me in speeding up my treectrl. The fields in my database are "BookmarkName", "BookmarkType" where Bookmark name is the bookmark name and BookmarkType is either "Folder" or "Bookmark" and Bookmarks are added as child in Folders.
