• Visual C++ adding MFC controls to main window after start-up

  Hello there, I am currently writing an MFC application, and want to add some controls. Most of the examples and tutorials show how to add controls to a dialog box, but I need to add them to the main window. The problem is, these controls will not be shown straight away, they are dependant on what file the user opens. Therefore, these buttons should (probably) be created in the appDoc class, in the ::OnFileOpen() function. In the create() function for buttons, one parameter is the parent window, and the appDoc does not have access to this - as far as I can tell. My question is, does anyone know the best way to either address or work around this problem I have been trying a couple of different ways and searched the forums, but have ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Regarding Set Property and Unset Property

  Hi there My current understanding is : if any style attribute is set using script then it gets locked on that particular element ...till it is unlocked on that particular element....ie the style attributes are locked at element level. whereas for state attributes things are different. a) state:focused can be locked using one element and unlocked using other element(even that belonging to a different application) b) state : enabled and state:value can be locked by one element and unlocked using other element belonging to same application i.e. they are locked at application level. I have seen behaviour a). About b) I am not sure. Do these i.e. a) and b) look right to ya all. Here "global status& ...Show All

  Hello, I have 2 MS Access databases, In each database I have a table called catlog. What I want to do is to check the catlog table in database (B) and pass over each row to see if it (the row) exists on table (A). If the row doesn't exist, I insert it as a new row, if it does exist I update the existing row. I want to do that at the runtime of a C# program. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

• SQL Server Passing parameters

  Hi Does anyone know how to pass a parameter between two seperate datasets using MS Reporting Services (2005) If you mean passing parameters between two datasets in 2 different reports, this is how we have done it: In the target report, you need to set up a parameter to receive the value you are choosing to pass.

• Visual C++ error LNK2001

• Visual Basic Responding To A User Clicking The Red X In Upper Right Corner

  Using VS05 Visual Basic - when a user closes a program by the red x in the upper right hand corner, is there a way to respond to that the same way as if they had properly used File, Exit Does the X raise an event I have not been able to figure this out yet. I don't want to disable the X, just respond to it. Thanks for your help. Bob The reason is this is a telephony application and File|Exit waits for all calls to finish before exiting the program. The Red X simply hangs up on everyone as the program closes. Thanks! Bob ...Show All

• Windows Forms Form-to-form communication --- events or messages?

  Hi, In my app, I want to send a message from a form I'm dragging to whichever other form in the application is "most covered" by the form I'm dragging. Since I'm new to C#, I'm just making sure I'm not sticking to old MFC habits, so... Is sending a message from one form to another still a recommended method of communication, or is it concidered "old hat" now, and I should learn new tricks Thanks, Jim Tomasko Hi, my name is Chris and I am working on an application using Visual C++ which is consist of at least 2 forms.

• Visual C# - How do I refer to an assembly located in the Global assembly cache while compiling my file?

• SQL Server Distribution Database Log File Growth

The database is using the SIMPLE recovery model but the log continues to accumulate data. I have spent time looking at articles such as: "Factors that keep log records alive" ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345414.aspx ) and the one thing that stands out is the Checkpoint. I noticed that I can run a manual checkpoint and clear the log. If the log records were still active, the checkpoint would not allow the log to be truncated. This leads me to believe that the server is not properly initi ...Show All
