While I agree that sometimes I too want to give an author an 11, I feel the current system is the simplest and fairest. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP

Hi Chris, thank you for looking a this. I am sorry it's not working. I forgot to say I am using IE8 on Vista, latest patches. - When I select "All roles" nothing happens. - This morning I then tried "C++ developper" then "All roles" to reset some value but I got stuck to "C++ developper". - Then I set "C# developper" and it worked. Back to "All roles", stuck to "C# developper" I then got an idea: - I selected "All roles" then clicked on the Tags field before submitting the request And it worked (I tried several times). Well, I think it did. The list content changed, but the combo is still showing "Select a role" (this is not a prob of course, just I am not sure). If this could help you I can make a video capture showing the problem. I will upload it on my website and post a DL link. Yarp http://www.senosoft.com/

Hi Luc, There are various situations and memory is not always allocated in the same place. I have got 3 different case: - a DIB allocated in main thread and used in the dll - a DIB loaded in a thread used in the dll - a DIB loaded in a dll used in main thread I would need 3 different FreeMyObject for a unique DIB class while this HeapAlloc / HeapFree possible solution is common, and as simple as new / delete. I see it as a great simplification. Provided it is reliable on all systems. Thanks for your answer. Yarp http://www.senosoft.com/

We're looking into this and think we've spotted the problem. Thanks for letting us know. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP

Thanks for the info Mike. Fortunately I was able to change my Coolbar's look thanks to Bjarn Viksoe's photo gallery implementation: http://www.viksoe.dk/code/photothing.htm[^] Yarp http://www.senosoft.com/

but I think IE do so..:-> nave

Thank you for your advice. I already used Interbase in the past, it is a good database but not light enough for what I intend to do. I would most probably choose it for professional clients running on a network (I've read SQLite is not good for transactionnal network access), but my needs are too basic even for Interbase. Note - I don't say for FireBird since I don't know it. Yarp http://www.senosoft.com/

Try SHGetIconOverlayIndexA or SHGetIconOverlayIndexW :-D

I found a solution as suggested by Iain. The other ways din't work: Here's the function that makes it : void CfrmImg::EnableStayOnTop(bool bDesktop) { // Desktop topmost if (bDesktop) { ::SetWindowLongPtr(m_hWnd, GWL_HWNDPARENT, NULL); ::SetWindowPos(m_hWnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE); } // Application topmost else { if (::GetParent(m_hWnd)==NULL) ::SetWindowLongPtr(m_hWnd, GWL_HWNDPARENT, (LONG_PTR)frmMain->m_hWnd); ::SetWindowPos(m_hWnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE); } } I recall this is for a modeless dialog - don't know if it makes sense for modals. The SetWindowLongPtr with GWL_HWNDPARENT parameter is a dirty hack. MSDN says SetParent should be used instead, but with SetParent it didn't work (I presume I have to change the windows style as suggested by MSDN - this is a later clean up work). At the moment I'm happy with my stay on top function. Thanks all for your assistance. Yarp http://www.senosoft.com/

Hi Bob, I was looking for how to add a file to the Windows MRU. This is done with the SHAddToRecentDocs function as Gary told me - I did it this morning in my app and it works fine. In my software I handled the MRU manually, since I also wanted to use the list for other purpose. Thanks anyway. Yarp http://www.senosoft.com/

Sure, I did and this question has to see with the operating system I suppose. Yarp http://www.senosoft.com/

I'm sorry I think I've seen such a tool, like WinTranRC and also RC Localize. Maybe I didn't explained myself correctly. I have a software with severall plugins. Those plugins are not resource dlls, they are plugins dlls. I would like to translate my whole soft, which includes translating the plugins. If I support say 10 foreign languages, I will have 120 languages dlls to maintain. Since I can't handle so many dlls I would need a tool that would read the english resource file of each plugin and generate the translated RC files. I don't necessarily ask for a single click solution, I can repeat the operation 12 times (1 for each plugin). Copying the result in translated RCs is just what I want to avoid, I want to do it once and then forget. Yarp http://www.senosoft.com/

No, you cant do that way, you have to read the whole file into a buffer, make the change in the buffer and then write to the file. for safetly you write it to a temp file and if the write succeeds then rename it to the original file name ofcource delete the first one. or if you are not too bother about data in the file and would like to take a change, then write it to the same file. -prakash

Thank you both for your explanation. I thought this had something to do with pointer based vector, I understand why now... and btw Nemanja your article is very interesting. STL obviously is a very powerfull concept. Yarp http://www.senosoft.com/

Thanks a lot, I've been wondering if it was possible for a long time now - but this afternoon I had no choice since I wanted this gnu project to be as less modified as possible. Thnaks a lot for the reply ;) Yarp http://www.senosoft.com/
