• David d48701 CreatePointFont creates font of different size in VS 2005 vs. VS 2003

  Hi, I 'm converting projects from VS 2003 to VS 2005. One suprising thing is a different visible font size on the screen (at some places in my apps) It seem that : font.CreatePointFont(80, "Arial"); now creates a slightly larger font (on a 96 dpi Monitor) then before (lfHeight=-11 vs -10). Is this by indent BR, Uwe Hello Re: CreatePointFont creates font of different size in VS 2005 vs. VS 2003 The more appropriate place for your question is probably the MFC newsgroup: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx dg=microsoft.public.vc.mfc&lang=en&cr=US OTP Thanks Damien ...Show All

• BlueMikey about making an interface with another program

  Hello (using visual c++.net) What I want to do is to be able from c++ to use objects from a software and use that software My first step is to "add reference", so I get the dll or libraries from that software where the objects that will let me use the software from C++ are.. well, done that, I don't know how to continue... I don't know how to declare the libraries to use the objects... for example I have: NXVIEWRUNTIMELib.NxViewRunTimeObj.CreateMyOpenSpace on the object viewer... But I have no idea about how to use this... I don't know how to declare all this to be able to use it Hopefully someone will help Cheers, Yamobe I would first read up on this recent ...Show All

• deGame Adding components and controls in VC2005

  Hi everybody. I want to add an Communication control on my dialog based project in VC2005. In VC6.0 I was using Project->Add to project->Add Components and controls etc In 2005 under the project menu I do not have Add to project :( When I created new MFC project I selected Dialog based and made sure ActiveX control radio was checked. Under Tools->Customize (Commands tab) I have Rearrange Commands->(Menu bar checked) select Project pressed Add, under categories select again Project and I can see "Add component" and "Add user control". However even if I added them they are greyish under Project menu. Any ideas how can I get "Add to project" for VC2005 Thanks Marian ok, found if I cli ...Show All

• bitskull CRect and TEXTMETRICS units

  I'm trying to fill my CEdit with data, and I'm using the following to figure out how many lines of data I can output to the window. CDC * pDC; pDC = m_DisplayWindow.GetDC(); TEXTMETRIC Metrics; pDC->GetOutputTextMetrics(&Metrics); int LineHeight = Metrics.tmExternalLeading + Metrics.tmHeight; // Figure out how many lines can be put into the window. CRect WindowRect; m_DisplayWindow.GetWindowRect(&WindowRect); int WindowHeight = WindowRect.BottomRight().y - WindowRect.TopLeft().y; m_nMaxWindowLines = (WindowHeight/LineHeight + 1); Obviously the units of a CRet and a TEXTMETRICS are different because I'm only getting half the CEdit filled with data.

• Coboler changing colour of a cell in grid

  Hi, i am using grid (dialog box) having 4 rows and 3 columns (total 12 cells) in visual c++ 6.0. i want to change the colour of a particular cell at runtime for a particular value. how can i do it Thanks and Regards Munish Gupta Hello Munish It doesn't look as if the SSDBGrid Control is a standard VC++ control and it seems to be a 3rd party control. You should ask on their support forums or contact their tech support. Sir, it is SSDBGridControl in Visual C++ 6.0. Munish Gupta Are you using MS Flex Grid Control I think it's basic control and it provides some basic services for the Grid. If there's no c ...Show All

• Spyrrho Command Line Compiler mscorlib Location

  Is there a command line argument in Microsoft's C++/CLI compiler that prevents the compiler from looking for mscorlib.dll in: c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\ Our build environment requires that all builds be consistent and reproducible. This means that there should be as little reliance as possible on the configuration of the particular machine used to build the software. We require all components referenced during the build process to come from a single shared location, not from the user's local hard drive. C# and VB both provide the "/nostdlib" command line argument but I cannot find anything similar in C++/CLI. Any thoughts Try using: Tools + Options (Show al ...Show All

• tryanothername Pass a delegate from VB to C++

  Hello, I want to pass a function pointer from my VB GUI code to my C++ class. The function is a callback, now defined as a delegate (as I understand it), where the C++ code would call the callback function located in the VB code if triggered. I have seen lots of examples of passing callback pointers from managed code to an old Win32 DLL, but nothing of passing a callback pointer from VB to C++, both managed. Please let me know if there are any examples I could reference. Thanks. It should be something like this (not tested, can contain minor mistakes): // C++/CLI library public delegate void SampleDelegate(Object^ data); public ref class SampleClass { ... public: void SampleFunction(Samp ...Show All

• Malleswar Static object initialization and thread safe

  I have ran into a situation that is very werid. Could anyone help me This a C++ application built and debugged on Visual Studio .Net 2005.

• Tom Medhurst const_cast and mutable

  Hi All, Anybody can give some realworld scenarios on using const_cast and mutable objects I posted this thread a couple of days ago. Yesterday I have really experienced how to use mutable and exactly where. Yesterday I had to make a class thread safe because it's objects are shared between different threads. It contains many set/get and other functions. I implemented the Get functions as const functions which is not supposed to modify the state of the class. The class contains a synchronization object which need to locked and unlocked in order to accomplish the synchronization. it's not possible to make the lock function of the sync object as const because that function changes sync object's state. Suddenly I remembered my post I ha ...Show All

• Scorpiuscat ADO Connection object

  Suppose I develop HTTP ( or some another ) server. Can I use single Connection object for many requests ( many threads ) or I should use MS ADO pooling mechanism and create new Connection (or Recordset with implicit Connection) every time Thank You, but what about the bottleneck has been mantioned above. Is it the solution for the concurent server design ( excuse me I dont think ) On the second hand I'm ready to make a dive into provider's layer and use ODBC, for example, instead of ADO, it is not problem, just tell me if it DOES PROVIDE MULTIPLE NOT QUEUED ACCESS to DB for readers. Or may be I wish too much from the thing I thing that when you create a mul ...Show All

• gomaz Problem with CString Variable

Later I added another CString variable.

• imranmbukhari PostMessage fires my message twice

  Hi, I have a very strange problem, In my project (Cpp) I use PostMessage , the problem is that it fires my message twice - even though I wish to post it ones. More clearly, Whenever I try to post a message from my addin to my automation project I receive two messages, and thus, I trigger my responding function twice. It costs me computation time and it also causes computation errors. Does any one have a clue Best regards. Typically you would run into this problem if more than one Messages have same Message ID. Might be your MessageID is conflicting with some existing. You would need to put a breakpoint to check the call stack and traverse back to find out the source of the origin of the ...Show All
