I have a tree view control where I want to insert items with a couple of columns aligned vertically. With the standard Tree View control, I can get this to work - but only with a fixed font - and I...

VC++6 only produces 32-bit code.

I support some legacy 16 bit code and we do a lot of the development work using VC++ 6 and then when we need to bring it into production, VC++1.5 is used. You...

Hi,

I am working on some code that is to take three files (each with approx 100,000) records in them and inject them into a number of SQL tables. The format of the files don't directly correspond...

My only thought is that the Service is probably not using the interactive desktop for the logged in user, but it is using one of the other desktops. This is normally desired behaviour for Services....

You do have to create and register the proxy on the client side.

Useful books on DCOM are Inside DCOM and Professional DCOM Programming

With the Win32 API, ::FindFirstFile and ::FindNextFile.

With MFC I think there is a wrapper class called CFindFile

If you're looking to trap 'all' GPFs that are raised through an MFC (or any Win32 application), this is possible through changing the function that is called when an unhandled exception is called...

Has anyone got any experience of using the Win32 API to create NTFS streams ? The ::CreateFile API works fine to open them, but how do I look at a file sitting on an NTFS partition to find out...

Good article on this in Advanced Windows by Richter.

Are you sure anything else is using the TLS (e.g. MFC) ?

The other thing I remember from TLS is that it only has 64 (??) data items for use...

Because the presence of a virtual function declared in the derived class hides the base class function.

Never seen this one, have you defined both UNICODE and _UNICODE as both have to be defined.

We have one dll which holds all our resources and dialogs that are needed through our project. We have multiple rc files (one per language) and simply recompile.

There is a Microsoft book...

Look under help for based addresses.

Sounds like the remote service is running under a different desktop than the active desktop. This is the standard behaviour for remote services (as normally you don't want to hang the client machine...

Its in the Win32 Resource kit.

The quickest way is to search the Web for it. I downloaded it a couple of weeks ago.

Using what technology ? Windows Sockets ? RPC ? COM/DCOM ? Mailslots ? Named Pipes ?

Look at GetFreeSpace and GetFreeSpaceEx.

Pure virtual destructor is an estoric part of C++. I don't know of any reason to have one (unless your class must be an abstract base class but you haven't any sane functions to make pure virtual...

Collision on dll load addresses is handled by the operating system and the only thing it affects is the load time of the project (unless you're using base addresses - which is highly unlikely).

All of the tasks outlined here don't look to complicated but I don't think you can rely on any metrics are given. If this is a one man/small team project (which it looks like it is), the time it...

Having the misfortune of working on a large scale COM project (hundreds of objects and thousands of methods) and finding strange errors when using MIDL inside a DOS session. For a number of our...

As far as I'm aware with COM/DCOM (as it stands) the only way you'll figure this out is to wait for the COM timeout period (i.e. six minutes) From then on, all calls will return immediately with a...

Goto Project Settings, and the General Tab. It should have displayed "Not Using MFC". Pull down the combo box and select one of the MFC options. I think this automatically updates the link options...

Certainly is possible. How to include it depends on what your COM server is being implemented in. If you're using ATL, it gives you an option on project creation to include MFC by default.

You need to define _WIN32_DCOM (or something like it). Open up the objbase.h header file, search for CoCreateInstanceEx and the #define is just before it
