Environment: VC7, Win 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP In this two-article series, I’m showing how to retrieve conversation text from two most popular Instant Messengers. This is second part of the series. The first part talks about retrieving conversation text from MSN Messenger and it can be visited here. In this second part, we will discuss how we can […]

Loading, Parsing, and Saving XML Documents. This article was contributed by Sébastien ANDRE. Environment: MFC / VC++ / Windows with MSXML library This article presents my work for managing XML documents into a VC++ application.I made this class with the help of Tom Archer’s source code found on the CodeGuru Web site. For my personal […]

Environment: VC6 SP5 Sometimes, it is useful or at least desirable to use one bitmap and simply change its palette to achieve various graphical effects. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any way to directly manipulate a CBitmap’s palette information. What I have done in the function below is select the bitmap into a […]

Environment: VS7, C# .NET This article contains a collection of C# programs that I wrote when I wanted to learn C# and .NET. I call these types of programs “Exploratory Programming.” This is not a tutorial, just the journey of a programmer trying to learn a new language and system interface. They are all short […]

Environment: VC6,Win 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP In this two-article series, I will show you how to retrieve conversation text from two most popular Instant Messengers (MSN and Yahoo). In the first article, we will talk about MSN Messenger. In the second article, we will discuss Yahoo Messenger. So without wasting any time, let’s explore MSN Messenger now. In […]

Environment: VC6 This program is doing exactly what you see in the figure above. First, a little theory: 1. Baric 3D Transformations: We have Viewer and Cub in a real 3D world. Viewer—It is a three-dimensional point V(x, y, z) that represents yourself. Cub—It is represented by eight edges, every with three-dimensional coordinates P (x, […]

NUnit is a testing framework for all .NET languages. The basic idea is that you create a class library that calls into your code, sending test values and evaluating responses automatically. The big payoff is that NUnit can run these tests automatically and be integrated as part of your build, test, and deployment lifecycle. Let […]

with Modal Application Environment: VC5, Windows 95, Windows NT Introduction Creating menus can be done by building the menu statically in resources, or creating it fully dynamicaly by using the CMenu creation operation. But how can we dynamically add items at runtime to a menu created in a resource? And how can we handle these […]

Environment: VC6, Outlook 2000/XP. Outlook has become a de facto standard in Personal Information Management software. Almost everyone uses this software for managing their needs. There arises the need for programmatically manipulating information stored in Outlook. Microsoft has provided the Outlook Object Model for this very same purpose. A closer look at the samples on […]

Environment: Any, C++ Abstract This article covers five discrete probability distributions most common for use in computer simulations, gaming, artificial intelligence decision making, and environment modeling. The covered distributions are the Binomial, Geometric, NegativeBinomial, HyperGeometric, and Poisson probability distributions, along with an abstract probability class. The classes differ from other routine mathematical attempts at probability […]

Mark Strawmyer Presents: .NET Nuts & Bolts

Environment: VC6, Windows NT/2000; should work on 98/Me, but not tested there Read/write lock is a synchronization mechanism that protects a shared resource in a multithreaded environment. The standard mutex (and critical section) object provided by Windows allows only one thread a time to access the resource. In many cases, this is overkill. Let’s assume […]
