So this means the DWORD casts to a SIZE pointer?

The MSDN documentation for the GetCharacterPlacement looks like this:


DWORD GetCharacterPlacement(
HDC hdc, // handle to DC
LPCTSTR lpString, // character string

Is your application multithreaded? I have yet to figure out how to implement a CAsyncSocket in any thread but the main one. In other threads, it fails with strange CMapPointerToPointer access...

When I use ReplaceSel() to insert text into a RichEditView, it scrolls the view down to the bottom of the page. Normally, this is desired behavior, but for my purpose, the user might be looking at...

I converted a project I was working on to Visual C++.NET, and I noticed something strange when adding classes. The header files, instead of having #ifndef/#define include protection simply have...

Although it is quite difficult to find everything at first after switching over to VC++ 6, I have found the interface much quicker to use now. You just select your class, go to the properties tab,...

The C++ part of Borland C++ and Visual C++ is generally the same, as C++ is standardized. However, when it comes to design tools and object libraries, they vary widely. Microsoft's windows object...

That would make sense, because in the second example you are not flushing the pipeline as much with the jump. However, a potential problem is that this loop will not necessarily work correctly --...

There are two methods to insert text into a rich edit control, and neither of them are as good as they should be. The first is to use ReplaceSel to insert text at a selection point, and...

I'm only making a guess here as I avoid void* pointers like the plague, but I would think that since you're trying to delete an object, but the compiler only sees you trying to delete a void pointer,...

Wow, I'm surprised to see ASP and SQL at the top of the list. Several years ago I did a fairly large project with ASP and SQL, but I never thought they were two of the most desired computer skills. ...

I have a toolbar control with the style CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC and I add toolbar buttons and whatnot, it works fine as long as the text labels are under a certain length. However, once the text labels...

I think a few things need to be cleared up about the differences between the Windows API and MFC (along with other object-based windows libraries).

In order to write a Windows application, you...

I would say JavaScript and VBScript would not be programming languagues because they are not standalone. You can't develop a standalone application with JavaScript or VBScript -- it relies on the...

I have a list view control where I insert items on the fly. I set the lParam value of each new list item to a pointer to a structure that contains string info about the item, to allow for sorting. ...

These are type definitions defined in the Windows API:

TCHAR in a normal program just resolves to 'char.' In unicode applications, however, it resolves to 'wchar_t' to provide easy conversion for...

GetMenu() is derived from CWnd, so if the class you call it from is not a CWnd or derivative, you cannot do a GetMenu() on it. This is logical because only window objects have menus (and typically,...

When you make a call to EnableMenuItem, its really just a very thin wrapper around ::EnableMenuItem(m_hMenu, nIDEnableItem, nEnable). m_hMenu is a member variable of the CMenu class that contains...

To use the CHARFORMAT2 structure in a RichEdit 2.0, you must define the following somewhere in your class (I do it in the constructor):

m_charformat.cbSize = sizeof(CHARFORMAT2);...

Call ::GetKeyState(keycode) to get the state of the ctrl, shift, or alt keys. Ie ::GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL) will return true if Ctrl is being held down and false if it is up.

In PreCreateWindow:



BOOL CEbolaView::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)

I've finally located the source of the problem, and its nowhere near OnReceive, it just seems to have a significant problem on the socket for some reason. Its actually in one of my views, where I...

main is defined as returning an int, by ANSI standard. This alone should encourage you (by you, I mean anyone as a programmer) to use "int main." By setting a void return type in the function...

Thanks for the advice, its definately a good idea that I need to do in the future. I've isolated what function the error is in, but I can't determine why. There is something that seems to be...

A few days ago I added a feature to my program, and whenever I ran it in debug mode I received a "User breakpoint at (memory address" and the program crashed. I could get around the crash in release...
