  - MFC >> Alternative to 'AfxSetResourceHandle'Hi.
    
    I am localizing my application, and using 'AfxSetResourceHandle'
    function in this way, to load the appropriate resource:
    
    CMyApp::CMyApp()
    {
    switch (GetUserDefaultLangID())
    {
    case MAKELANGID(LANG_ARMENIAN, SUBLANG_DEFAULT):
    ASSERT((m_hResLibrary =
    LoadLibraryEx(TEXT("MyApphye.dll"), NULL,
    LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE)) != NULL);
    break;
    
    case MAKELANGID(LANG_RUSSIAN, SUBLANG_DEFAULT):
    ASSERT((m_hResLibrary =
    LoadLibraryEx(TEXT("MyApprus.dll"), NULL,
    LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE)) != NULL);
    break;
    }
    }
    
    BOOL CMyApp::InitInstance()
    {
    // Set the resource handle to the appropriate resource DLL
    if (m_hResLibrary)
    AfxSetResourceHandle(m_hResLibrary);
    
    return CWinApp::InitInstance();
    }
    
    The problem is that most MFC member functions use
    'AfxGetResourceHandle' function, to obtain the default resource
    library. For example, 'CBitmap::LoadBitmap' doesn't have a parameter
    for instance handle, it uses 'AfxFindResourceHandle'. So do most
    members of other classes. It means, I must create the same bitmap in
    any resource DLL I use, but I don't want to do that. I want to
    translate only localizable resources, the rest ones must reside in the
    EXE. Is it possible to do?
    
    Thanks in advance

  - Visual Basic [VB] >> mailer questionHello,
    
    I made a mailer program from instructions I found on the web in vb2005.
    
    It works, but doesn't seem to send the mail until I end the program.
    
    Maybe there is some other command I need to get it to send?
    
    Any help appreciated.
    
    I know this is true, because my outgoing mail virus scan pops up when I
    close the program, showing its scanning an outgoing email.
    
    This doesn't happen till I end the program.
    
    After that I get the message in my in box. Not while the program is up,
    even though it says it sent.
    
    Thanks.

  - Visual Basic >> Getting SSID with WMI in VB6 - NewbI was looking for ways to get the SSID of an active Wireless Connection.
    I've seen no other ways except to access it through WMI.
    
    I know nothing of WMI & I'm having little luck getting documentation or
    finding out how to get at WMI in VB6.
    
    I found this link: http://www.furrygoat.com/PermaLink.aspx?guid=000993
    
    It supposedly is how to get the SSID with WMI in .NET.

  - Visual Basic [VB] >> printing a text file, printdocument1_printpage gets called TWICE for each page?!Ok, so this is driving me mad. For some reason, regardless of the
    value of ev.hasmorepages, the printoducment1_printpage gets called
    twice for every page. So, I print 2 pages of data on one page, with
    the second overlaying the original data. If i set ev.hasmorepages to
    false, essentially telling the printdocument to only print one page,
    it prints one page, with two pages of data, because at the end of the
    _printpage subroutine, even when ev.hasmorepages is false, it runs the
    sub once more. Any help on this would be fantastic, below is my code:
    
    Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object,
    ByVal ev As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles
    PrintDocument1.PrintPage
    Dim linesPerPage As Single = 0
    Dim yPos As Single = 0
    Dim count As Integer = 0
    Dim leftMargin As Single = ev.MarginBounds.Left
    Dim topMargin As Single = ev.MarginBounds.Top
    Dim line As String = Nothing
    'ev.HasMorePages = True
    ' Calculate the number of lines per page.
    linesPerPage = (ev.MarginBounds.Height /
    printFont.GetHeight(ev.Graphics)) - 1
    
    ' Print each line of the file.
    'If counterx = False Then
    While count < linesPerPage

    End If
    yPos = topMargin + count *
    printFont.GetHeight(ev.Graphics)
    ev.Graphics.DrawString(line, printFont, Brushes.Black,
    leftMargin, yPos, New StringFormat())
    count += 1

  - MFC >> bug in Screen Saver Sample included in Visual C 6.0I'm trying to fix a bug in the Screen Saver sample in the Visual
    Studio 6.0 suite. The following is a brief description of the bug:
    
    When the program terminates CDrawWnd remains open. There remains
    an empty window box in the task bar, for every instance of the terminated
    program. The OnDestroy event occurs, even though the window doesn't
    actually get destroyed. I have tried every way I can think of to
    destroy the window manually, but to no avail.
    
    Is there some special way to terminate a screen saver application that
    I need to take into consideration?
    
    Please try to e-mail me your replies, if you can.

  - Visual Studio C++ >> wsprintf?Having revisited some old code I am reminded of the existence of
    
    wsprintf().
    
    I vaguely remember from the old 16bit days that there was some
    reason to prefer it over the standard C-library function sprintf(),
    but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
    
    Does it have any advantages these days or is it just there for
    legacy code?

  - Visual Basic [VB] >> Looking for an intermediate/advanced VB .NET book that covers multithreadingGreetings. I received 4 VB .NET books and looking through the indices and
    tables of contents, I see that none of them addresses multithreading in VB
    .NET. I just bought a bunch of books because they were so cheap.
    
    Does anyone have any suggestions for books that cover multithreading? I
    have enough beginners books. I don't need any more. Need a good treatment
    of multithreading. I've never used it in VB 6. I want to learn about it
    in .NET.
    
    I suppose I'd need something at the intermediate/advanced level.
    
    I quickly looked at MSDN library for info. There's some in there. But
    from my work with VS 6, I've learned that MSDN is good for reference, but
    not for learning or tutorial purposes.

MFC >> CDC::TextOut (or ExtTextOut) background colour troubles Hi. I'm displaying some text on a dialog.

CPaintDC dc(this);

On initial drawing of the dialog, the text background is white. As soon as a

change (or set to one colour)?

If you want to draw transparent text, set back mode to transparent before
drawing text:

dc.SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
dc.TextOut(rect.left,rect.top,"HELLO");

MFC >> CDC::TextOut (or ExtTextOut) background colour troubles When you use TextOut or DrawText (DrawText is better) the text will get
drawn using the current Text Color, background color and background mode.

So before you call TextOut or DrawText call the following functions to
change these attributes.

dc.SetTextColor(...);
dc.SetBkColor(...);
dc.SetBkMode(..); //if you pass TRANSPARENT to this then you don't need
to set the bk color

  - Visual Basic >> If.....Else?I have a WebBrowser control & a hidden ListBox. When the Form loads,
    the ListBox gets populated with those sites which the user has
    categorized as Restricted Sites (the ListBox actually gets populated
    with the different URLs from a text file).
    
    Now what I want is when the user types a URL in the address bar (which
    is a ComboBox), first it has to be checked whether the typed in URL
    exists in the ListBox or not. If yes, then show a MsgBox to the user
    asking hime whether he would like to proceed ahead or not (since it is
    a restricted site). If yes, take the user to the URL but if no, stay
    there itself & change the URL of the ComboBox to what it was before the
    user typed in the URL of the restricted site.
    
    For e.g. a user first visits www.yahoo.com which is not listed as a
    restricted site (though it will be checked first whether www.yahoo.com
    is listed as a restricted site or not). Next he types www.google.com,
    which is listed as a restricted site, in the address bar. When he
    presses 'Enter' on the keyboard, since www.google.com is a restricted
    site, he will be first shown a MsgBox asking whether he would like to
    proceed or not. If yes, direct the user to www.google.com but if no,
    stay there itself & change the address in the address bar to
    www.yahoo.com (since before typing www.google.com, the user was in
    www.yahoo.com).
    
    This is what I tried:
    
    Private Sub cboURL_Click(Index As Integer)
    Dim iCount
    For iCount = 0 To lstSites(0).ListCount - 1
    If (InStr(cboURL(0).Text, lstSites(0).List(iCount)) > 0) Then
    If (vbYes = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to proceed?",
    vbYesNo)) Then
    wWeb.Navigate2 cboURL(0).Text
    Else
    wWeb.Stop
    End If
    'Else
    ' wWeb.Navigate2 cboURL(0).Text
    End If
    Next
    End Sub
    
    Suppose the user types www.google.com, which is a restricted site, in
    the address bar. He is shown the MsgBox. Assume that he clicks No; so
    he stays put where he was & doesn't proceed ahead.
    
    Assume that next he enters www.yahoo.com in the address bar which is
    not a restricted site. Under such circumstances, the commented "Else"
    condition would take the user to www.yahoo.com after verifying that
    www.yahoo.com is not a restricted site BUT if that "Else" condition
    (i.e. the second "Else" condition) is not commented, then when the user
    had been shown the MsgBox asking him whether he would like to proceed
    or not after he had typed www.google.com in the address bar, then
    irrespective of whether the user clicks Yes or No in the MsgBox, he is
    still directed to www.google.com. The bottomline is there can be 3
    scenarios:
    
    1. URL typed in the address bar exists in the ListBox; show MsgBox
    a. If "Yes" is clicked in the MsgBox, let the user proceed forward to
    the restricted site (MsgBox="Yes")
    b. If "No", stay there itself & don't let the user proceed ahead.
    (MsgBox="No")
    
    2. URL typed by the user in the address bar doesn't exist in the
    ListBox; so let the user go ahead (which is as good as MsgBox="No").
    
    So on one hand, when MsgBox="No", then stay there itself but on the
    other hand, when MsgBox="No", proceed ahead. This is where I am getting
    stuck up i.e. the condition is the same (MsgBox="No") but 2 different
    statements have to be executed.
    
    Any ideas how do I overcome this problem?
    
    Thanks,

  - Visual Basic >> passing a textbox control in parameter listHi, I have an application that has about 3 subroutines that I'd like to use in another application so I decided to move them out into a DLL. Anyway, I moved them out and I call them from the two applications and they all work fine. When I moved them out, I temporarily commented out anything to do with the user interface - basically the routines do some processing of files that sometimes takes a long time so in the original application, the routines would update a little status form
    
    What I'd like to do is popup the status form in each of the two applications and then call the subroutines in the DLL and then have the subroutine update the form. So I decided to add a simple textbox control in the subroutines' parameter list. When I go to compile the DLL I get
    
    Compile error
    Private object modules cannot be used in public object modules as parameters or return types for public procedures, as public data members, or as fields of public user defined type
    
    This is the test subroutine that gives me the compile error
    
    Public Sub test(t As Control
    t.Text = "foobar
    End Su

    So far so good, now I want to change how far back data is collection so I
    mode the query to look for timewritten... code snip...
    
    Set dtmStartDate = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemDateTime")
    DateToCheck = Date - 365
    dtmStartDate.SetVarDate DateToCheck, True
    
    Set dtmEndDate = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemDateTime")
    dtmEndDate.SetVarDate Date, True
    WScript.Echo "Start Date: " & dtmStartDate & " End Date: " & dtmEndDate
    
    Set colEvents = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_NTLogEvent
    WHERE TimeWritten >= '"&dtmStartDate&"' AND Logfile = 'System' AND (EventCode
    = '6005'or EventCode = '6008' or EventCode = '1074') AND SourceName <>
    'W3SVC'")
    
    The problem I have is the output order is diffrent. Instead of DESC it now
    AESC. I have tried to add ORDER BY TimeWritten but I get an error. Any
    insite on how to change the order would be very helpfull.
    
    Thanks

  - Visual Basic >> Show previous instance?I use App.PrevInstance to assure that a second instance of my app
    cannot be started. If it's True, I display a MsgBox telling the user
    about it and then force a shutdown of the second instance.
    
    What I would like to do is quietly shutdown the second instance and
    bring the previous instance to the foreground maximized. How do I do
    that?
    
    (I'll bet this is on Randy's web site somewhere but I couldn't find
    anything.)

  - MFC >> function for getting a substring of a stringHello,

  - Visual Basic [VB] >> Listview select from Textbox stringI have a text box select items in a listview as text is being typed
    into the text box. I get the select bar to move correctly in the
    Listview control.
    
    If the user presses the down or up key in the text box, I want to move
    to the selected item in the listview box.
    
    The down or up arrow does set focus to the listview box and the
    selected item switches from the grey of being unfocused to the blue of
    focus. So far, so good.
    
    Pressing the down arrow again moves to the second entry in the
    listview instead of the entry below the currently highlighted entry.
    Susbsequent cursor movements work.
    
    Obviously, the selected table index that I'm using is not working
    correctly. What do I need to do to fix it?

    Dim Item As ListViewItem
    Dim strLoc As String
    
    strLoc = txtLoc.Text.Trim ' Get the string
    If strLoc = "" Or strLoc = Nothing Then Exit Sub
    intLen = strLoc.Length ' Length of substring
    
    For i = 0 To lvw.Items.Count - 1
    Item = lvw.Items(i) ' Get the item
    Try
    If boolFound = False And Item.Text.Substring(0,
    intLen) = strLoc Then
    lvw.Items(i).Selected = True
    lvw.Items(i).EnsureVisible()
    boolFound = True
    Else
    lvw.Items(i).Selected = False
    End If

    lvw.Items(i).Selected = False

    End Sub

  - VB Scripts >> CDONTS strangenessI'm trying to send a mail using CDONTS with a .FROM email
    address that doesn't exist (like bob@nowhere.com), but it won't send
    the mail unless I put a valid .FROM email address (i.e. of an email
    address that exists)
    
    The mails I try to send on the Windows 2000 server are moved into the
    mailroot/Badmail folder as spam.. so this would seem to be a built-in
    spam prevention tool that CDONTS employs.
    
    This would be fine, if it always worked, but sometimes perfectly correct
    email addresses don't work either.
    
    Is there any way to disable this spam-prevention so that I can send
    emails no matter what the .FROM email address is?
    
    Cheers.

  - MFC >> OnCreate of CFrameWnd based splitter pane gets called twice!!!Hi All,
    
    I have a splitter window, in which I want to have 3 panes (as vertical
    columns).
    
    My primary requirement is I want a menu inside one of the panes, i.e,
    menu should belong to the pane and not the whole window.
    
    To achieve this, I put a CFrameWnd derived class inside the pane. This
    CFrameWnd derived class has the menu I want.
    
    Now, my problem is that after I do this, the OnCreate of the FrameWnd
    is getting called twice all the time. Can anyone help me know why this
    is happening?
    
    Or even better, does anyone have an alternate solution to putting a
    menu in each pane of a splitter window?
    
    Thanks
