Use GetParentFrame() to obtain the CWnd* pointer of your MDI-frame and call GetMenu() on this window.

The documentation of the OPENFILENAME structure says for the lpstrFile member:
"If the buffer is too small, the function [GetOpenFileName] returns FALSE and the CommDlgExtendedError function returns...

Use FindResource or FindResourceEx to obtain a handle of your resource, then LoadResource and LockResource.
The last method gives you a void* to your resource data.

ModifyStyle is declared as
BOOL ModifyStyle( DWORD dwRemove, DWORD dwAdd, UINT nFlags = 0 );

So if you want to remove the maximize/minimize box you have to exchange your parameters.

COM is based on RPC and RPC requires marshalling and unmarshalling of function parameters from the caller to the callee and back.
So COM has build in support to marshall standard data types but if...

I believe the problem is that you are using MAPI which requires a MAPI provider (usually the e-mail client installed on your system like Outlook, ...).

Is it true that your are asking what data type to use?

If yes then use char or unsigned char; __int8 is also a valid type name which is recognized by VC++. These datatypes occupy 1 byte and...

Hi,

you have to subclass your edit control:

- Declare a new class which inherits from CEdit.
class CMyEdit : public CEdit {

};

- Declare a member variable m_myEdit of class CMyEdit in...

Well, you have many user input which gives a list like this:

Hi,

there is a better way than handling the WM_SIZE message -handle WM_GETMINMAXINFO instead:

Sorry, I can't believe that your program just "dies".
If you have enclosed every smart pointer operation into a try - catch block you should get an exception.

Hi fongjeffrey,

you can do the same thing with COM and - as I believe - in a much more elegant and efficient way.
Just write a small ATL COM object and declare the class factory as singleton. And...

There is a lot of work done in CString::GetBuffer and CString::ReleaseBuffer.
So if you don't want to loose any performance then casting is the fastest solution.
Besides there is no drawback with...
