Environment: VC++ 5.0-6.0, Win95/98/NT 4.0/2K/XP Introduction This article shows how to save a struct into an XML file (using STL), and load it back using Microsoft’s MSXML 3.0 parser. If you have Microsoft’s MSXML 4.0 parser installed, modify the stdafx.h file to use MSXML4 instead of MSXML3. This code can be modified to use a […]

Environment: Internet, Networking. Introduction This is an updated version of the article and source code I originally wrote, showing how to embed the ActiveX Control created by Adam Lock for the Mozilla Browser in CViews and Dialogs in MFC applications that can easily be extended for ATL applications as well. I have never liked Microsoft’s […]

Mark Strawmyer Presents: .NET Nuts & Bolts Multithreading is a powerful tool for creating high performance applications, especially those that require user interaction. Microsoft .NET has broken down the barriers that once existed in creating multithreaded applications. In this installment of the .NET Nuts & Bolts column we’ll explore multithreading with the .NET Framework and […]

Click here for a larger image. Environment: The platform I used is Windows 2000. I compiled the code in VC++6.0. I have been a member of CodeGuru for quite some time and had taken lot of help from respectable members. In gratitude for the help I got, and expecting to get more, I am presenting […]

This animation took about five lines of source code. Environment: VC6 Win 9x/ME/2000/XP (DirectX 9 needed); NT will not be supported DirectX from Microsoft is a mighty and powerful interface, providing the programmer with a lot of functions to do anything you can think of. But the price is that using DirectX (in this case, […]

This article was contributed by Charles Bonneville. Environment: Visual C++ How to implement a CSplitterWnd into a CDialogBox in three easy steps without overriding any function, writing new classes, etc. Because I’m not a writer, this article will take you directly to the main subject: how to implement a CSplitterWnd into a CDialogBox without overriding […]

Environment: This control was developed with VC6 and ATL. Description Scale bar is a basic tool for GIS and other systems. ESRI has published a scale bar control with VB source code, but it doesn’t meet our need. So, I decided to develop a new control (named WScalebarServer) with some improvements and more features. It […]

Environment: .NET Introduction I’ve been implementing numerical libraries in .NET and have come to some conclusions about iteration performance. My classes have to hold a large amount of data and be able to iterate through that data as quickly as possible. To compare various methods, I created a simple class called Data that encapsulates an […]

Click here for a larger image. Environment: VC6 I was faced with a requirement for a dialog to display text retrieved from a DB table. Rather than showing this in a list control, the user wanted a button for each DB record, of which there would be an unknown number at runtime. Creating buttons dynamically […]

Environment: Internet, Network, VC++ How to Use Reflection to Dump Objects In this article, I will show how to write some .Net code to use a feature called “reflection” to generate a String containing values from all object fields. Please feel free to e-mail me for any comment or question regarding any detail or explanation […]

Environment: Developed in (but not restricted to) VC6. This article is an introduction to templates, iterators, and temporary classes illustrated by an implementation of a red-black tree. Table of Contents Background The Self-Balancing Tree Templates Iterators Temporary Classes (tree[“Foo”]=3 vs. int i = tree[“Foo”] ) But We Have This Already! About the Source Code Downloads […]

In this article I would like to talk about a concrete way that you can become a super productive programmer. In Frederick Brooks’ book the Mythical Man Month (Addison-Wesley, 1995) Brooks refers to Sackman, Erikson, and Grant’s paper “Exploratory experimental studies comparing online and offline programming performance” published in the Communications of the ACM (CACM, […]
