Click here for a larger image. Environment: VC6 SP5, NT4 SP6, dao350 (mdac_typ20), IE5.5 Introduction When I develop an application, I always search for nice skins; it sells, you know. I found an article on MSDN from Paul DiLasca, here, in which he describes how to use CHtmlView as a part of the application (in […]

Environment: compiled using VC6 on WinXP Recently, I was involved in a project to create a 3D application. At that time I noticed the tabbed toolbar of 3D Studio Max 4 (as shown below). Because my application required the use of a lot of tools (just like 3DS Max), I decided to implement this control. […]

Environment: MS Visual C++ 6 Many MFC documents use CArchive to store the filenames of nested documents or project files. When the user copies the projects into different directories or to a different computer, the paths become invalid unless the programmer painstakingly controls these directory name dependencies. It also frustrates the user quite a lot […]

Environment: COM, VC++ Introduction In the hope of inspiring Windows XP design to be mutual, I challenged myself to create a code example that would display menus with items like those when you click the Start button, when you get a few text lines for one item, a very beautiful 48×48 true-color icon, and, of […]

Environment: Visual C++ 6.0 Windows 9x, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 With this class you can make transparant (full access through hole) region in different shape on the most type of windows. Basically it is only one significant function in the class. This is most a funny way to use region like ellipse, rectangle, […]

Environment: Visual Studio.NET Introduction PocketUML is a portable UML tool for Visual Studio.NET. It supports C# Projects’ UML generation from source code. This edition is the first milestone. It only supports some basic UML tools functions. You might think the distance between PocketUML and some other UML tools (such as Rational Rose) is long, but […]

Environment: VC6 This project generates a simple, flicker-free 2D animation demo. It loads two pictures—a background (big one) and a foreground (small one). The user can select and move the small picture over the big one without any flickering. Resizing the window does not produce any flickering of its contents, either. The idea is very […]

From Kate Gregory’s Codeguru column, “Using Visual C++ .NET“. –> Visual Studio.NET introduced Managed C++, but that wasn’t the only thing that was new in it. A number of interesting changes to MFC and ATL make life simpler for those who are working in unmanaged C++. In this column I’ll introduce you to the CImage […]

This article was contributed by Anand Narayanaswamy. In this article, you will learn how to manipulate directories and files in your system. Further, we will discuss how to read from and write to a file by using the powerful .NET classes. The Namespace System.IO provides all the necessary classes, methods, and properties for manipulating directories […]

Environment: CEdit Controls This application not only demonstrates the basics of using the Microsoft Foundation Classes but is also a starting point for writing your application. This file contains a summary of what you will find in each of the files that make up your DragEdit1 application. File Name Description DragEdit1.dsp This file (the project […]

Click here for a larger image. Environment: Visual Studio .NET, can be used with VC++ 6 with minor changes (for-loop scoping) I’ve been working on a project that can be pretty UI-intensive. And, because it’s a graphical environment (a 3D modeller), it only makes sense that the UI be graphically well designed. One of the […]

This article was contributed by Nick Stone of Langfine Ltd. Overview This is a C++ implementation of the RSA MD5 message digest algorithm. The algorithm calculates a 16 byte checksum for any data sequence (e.g., array of bytes, a string or a file). Full details of the MD5 algorithm are provided within the code. Two […]
