Hi

I wonder whether there is a way to clear the $_POST superglobal array or even set an array element to a new value.

I've got a self-referencing form where the user can enter some text and...

Oh, I just found it: VC98\CRT\SRC\STAT.C function declaration "int __cdecl _tstati64".

It really uses FindFirstFile / FindClose API. I must say that I did not believe these APIs are that fast!
...

Hi genossa

Where did you look it up? I just searched the MS VC directory and the web but did not find the implementation of stati64.

BTW: The function names are _stati64 and _wstati64().
...

At least on my Win2k workstation, _stati64 is screaming fast compared to CreateFile / GetFileSize / CloseFile!

Maybe it is a drawback that it does not support security attributes, but I do not...

I just tried GetFileAttributesEx(...) and it really seems to be *much* faster than GetFileSize(...)!

The only drawback is that GetFileAttributesEx(...) is not supported by Win95.

@Marc G
Thank...

Thank you for your suggestions!

@Ejaz
But GetFileSize etc. require that the file was previously opened by a call to CreateFile. This is the API I'm currently using, but it seems a little slow to...

Hi

What is the fastest way to retrieve the (64 bit) filesize of a file?

I need to get the size of *many* files from various locations (on WinXP systems,only), so what would be faster:
...

Hi Frank

You're right, it's long ago. I just peeked into my old code and here's what I can tell from a first glance:

- I added an own CToolTipCtrl member variable.

- I handled TTN_NEEDTEXT...

Use pointers and swap them instead of the variable values :)

That's good to hear :)
Thank you very much!

Oliver.

Dear Paul McKenzie

Thank you for this information! I use VC6.0 with the brand-new service pack (I do not remember the number).

Using enums would be a solution, but may I ask one more question...

Hi

This simple code below compiles without error when pased into one file. But when I split the definitions and declarations into separate files (e.g. Base.h, Base.cpp, Derived.h, Derived.cpp -...

Hi Yves M & Andreas

Thank you for your suggestions. Yes, from the three examples I do also prefer the second one. But I think it still has some drawbacks:

1) The progress dialog is not modal....

Hi

This is a general design question.

Say I want to implement some class member functions that perform long term calculations that should be able to report progress. The functions should not...

Yes, I think this was a valuable discussion and I learned a lot (I think ;))...

Sometimes, things in the Windows world are just not ideal (this one I knew before;)). What bothers me most is that I...

You're right, this would be the most simple and cleanest solution - it was my very first attempt to solve this problem.

But unfortunately, the result is not as expected because in a series of...

Hi VladimirF

Sorry if this sounds as if I just do not want to try your solution. The point is, that I can not get it to work for my special case. Maybe you can help me and I'll surely use the...

Hi VladimirF

Right. So can we "fix" this by sending WM_LBUTTONDOWN and WM_LBUTTONUP?

Oliver.

Hi lhayes00

Funny, I just found a quite similar solution and wanted to post it. My attempt was to handle WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK


void CMyButton::OnLButtonDblClk(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
//...

Hi VladimirF

Yes, you're right... it works well for my situation, but it is not generally desireable. Thanks for this note, I'll better keep it in mind!

Oliver.

Hi VladimirF

Just had the same problem, thank you for the tip of CS_DBLCLKS style. I think that I found a solution without deriving my own class:

That's better for my case; maybe someone else...

I do not know if anyone already pointed out the article "Surviving the release version" by Joseph M. Newcomer:

hi kuphryn

I do not know, but since MS obviously tends to use very simple sorting algorithms, it does not seem to be improbable that they also use very simple search algos (=linear search O(n))......

Hi gstercken

Thanks for this idea. You're right that handling of SC_MAXIMIZE etc. is no good way to go - it is most obvious when maximizing the window by double-clicking on the title area instead...

may I quote myself...

But thanks anyway.
