Environment: eg VC6 WIN9x/WINNT/WIN2K By using Visual C++ you can easily communicate with other application running on your desktop computer. You can easily do work on them. For example you can place text in a textbox, click a button and much more. In the Windows OS every object you see is a window and if […]

Environment: VC5 WinNT4/Win2000 ( Should work with VC6 and other Win platforms) I wanted to have the standard file open dialog startup in detail view by default. The code gurus showed me how to customize the file open dialog but not a single article described how to start the fileopen dialog in detail view. I […]

This article was contributed by J. Smits. Environment: VC6 SP5, Win 2K SP2 The code below shows how you can add a Data Source Name at run-time. In this sample, we use the MS Access Driver to connect to an MDB File. I have implemented the code in a class so it can easily be […]

Environment: Win32, VC++ 5.0-6.0, NT 4.0, Win95/98 Preface I have been using code from code havens like code project and codeguru for quite some time. Its payback time folks. Well not with something that can be readily used by all, it is my sincere start. In this article, I have tried to overcome the the […]

Environment: VC6 One of the problems while writing programs in C++ is that the tools and API that you can use to generate reports are very limited. For instance, there is a plethora of classes for viewing (CView, CHtmlView etc.) but no reporting API. The tool presented here is a simple API that can be […]

Environment: VC6, BC55, Win2000 SP2, g++, Redhat Linux 7.1 Introduction: The ability to log is commonly needed in every software project on every platform. I wrote this class to save time. There are two basic log classes provided for easy use. One is CFileLog, which implements a file logging system. The other is CRegFileLog that […]

The class has the following features: Any number of lines. Different styles, colors and width for each line. Unlimited number of points per line, or you can put limit […]

Environment: VC6 Debugging of code operating with mid-weight and heavy strings under Visual C++ is a real pain. Visual C++ native debugger has no cunning mechanism to show long strings. Of course, there are some debugger symbols like “s” and “su” which allow to see at most 252 symbols of string. But what about the […]

Environment: VC 6, Windows 2000, MS XML Parser 3.0 XML provides a powerful and flexible means of expressing and communicating information between different, or unlike, systems. XML is a text-based format thats similar to HTML in many ways. For example, XML documents contain elements that consist of start (such as ) and end (such as […]

Introduction Projects Descriptions Installation / Integration Usage The Filters   Introduction Often times we want to create a log of what steps a program takes during run-time. Maybe our program works fine during a debug build but crashes during a release build. Or maybe we are developing on WinNT, but testing on Win98 without a […]

Environment: VC++ 6.0, Win9x/NT/2000/XP I’ve been using some other similar classes before but I got to a point where they weren’t enough to do the job I needed. So I wrote down this class and I guess some people might find it useful. There are 4 files that are needed for this to work: Pane.h […]
