In addition, I’d like to add that this function is based on the comments made on this site by Jarek Gibek as well as the article ‘Get hostname and ip address of local computer(2)’ by Jaroslav Pisk. How it Works The way this function works is that it attempts to define which are the IP […]

This is a small XML parser, based purely on STL. There are two main classes XmlStream and XmlParser. XmlParser.h contains most of the parsing code. It has several state variable, which can be split up into two categories: buffer state – shows where we are parsing from parsing state – shows what we have found […]

The code for the web server was adapted from the httpsvr in MSDN. The visual interface has been removed. All of the the MFC code has been ripped out and converted to STL and socket classes were implemented. The socket classes are: Socket ServerSocket These feed handler classes: SocketHandler ServerSocketHandler HttpSocketHander Socket notification comes from […]

Let me first say to Chris Maunder and others that originally worked on the grid GREAT JOB! You guys did a super job developing this control. Had it not been for the work and effort put forth by the original team the grid would have never evolved as far as it did. OK, enough of […]

The following classes were developed to simplify my life and clean up my code and perhaps they can do the same for you. They are simple classes, but allow an easy load of a string resource ( important for internationalization ) as well as an easy way to format strings. Class Definitions // Load resource […]

Class Purpose The CPathDialog class lets users select or create a folder. It’s just a simple extension of SHBrowseForFolder function. Functions Class Constructor CPathDialog::CPathDialog( LPCTSTR lpszCaption=NULL, //Caption of dialog LPCTSTR lpszTitle=NULL, //Prompt of program LPCTSTR lpszInitialPath=NULL, //Initial path CWnd* pParent=NULL //Parent of dialog ); Display Dialog int CPathDialog::DoModal(); CPathDialog returns the return value of the […]

CFontCombo Overview The CFontCombo class is a CComboBox-derived class that while being a simple class is very useful in that it enables you to display all the fonts on the system in a combo box for the user’s selection. Obviously, for the curious, you not only get the control itself, but the source code that […]

Have you ever needed to split a very large file into smaller ones for easier transport (via diskette) or email? If so, then this utility may just be the answer to your problems!! As you can see from the screen shot above, QuickSplit is a utility that has two modes: Split File and Merge File. […]

In the midst of all this publicity writing ATL-based applications, you will find little in the way of documentation on porting your legacy Win32 applications to ATL. Hopefully, these steps will ease that migration path. Migration Steps Include AtlBase.h file in StdAfx.h after AfxWin.h. This is to take advantage to declare a variable for CComModule. […]

Here’a a little utility I wrote. After getting so much helpful code from this site I thought it was about time I contributed. The purpose of MFC WindowStyler is to allow users to experiment creating windows with different window styles and extended window styles, WS_styles and WS_EX_styles, with out having to recompile. You can see […]

Environment: Visual C++ 6 (SP3) When writing ATL components, one of the hardest things to overcome for Windows programmers, in my opinion, is the dependency on the MFC library. For dates and strings, MFC simplifies the programmer’s job by handling memory allocations and type conversions within its class encapsulation. However, with that simplification comes the […]
