.(Beijing, P.R.China) When I am programming, I find a boring work is to implement many options. Normally I have to do the following works: 1.Declare many variants to identify the options. 2.Implement user interface to set the options. 3.Load the value from registry for each option. 4.Save the value to registry for each option. I […]

Environment: VC6 SP4, NT4 SP5 Here are a couple of functions to transfer files between two computers. I haven’t seen any CSocket file transfer utilities around so this might just help you. The code consists of two functions. The first function is the “server” and the second function is the “client”. Use them accordingly. Now […]

Environment: VC6 SP3, NT4 SP4 One of the reasons I left C and began to use C++ was CString and even more so CStringArray. These two classes are worth all the other aggravation when going OO. I don’t claim that they are perfect. There are things missing in both of those classes and I would […]

Environment:Windows NT 4 SP5, Visual C++ 6 SP3 Ever wanted a grid selector like the one used in User Manager for Domains or the one in Replication Schedules for Exchange.  I couldn’t find a good enough, small enough or cheap enough control anywhere, so I created my own.  It has 2 simple methods (GetHoursArray & […]

Environment: Visual C++ 6 I’ve been searching for a simple answer to a problem. I wanted to increase the display update rate for a dialog box. This (modeless) dialog includes a progress bar, and it displays a percentage number and another number indicating progress (initially in edit boxes). When I’d disable the display update functions […]

Introduction The CDirDialog class is an extension to MFC that allows selection of a directory with several nice user-interface features. The class is derived from the MFC CFileDialog class. The code was built and tested with VC6 but should work with recent earlier versions of MFC, and probaly later ones too. What it Does The […]

A single file selection… Multiple files selected… Environment: VC6 SP3, NT4 SP5, IE5 There numerous times that I’ve wished I could simply right-click on a file, and copy its full pathname in order to paste it into an e-mail or a file open dialog. I finally decided to write it myself and thought someone else […]

. Environment: Windows NT, 9x   Visual C++ 5, 6 I built this application with VC5. I don’t think there should be a problem comiling it with VC6. This MFC GUI framework is placed inside ATL DLL server and is invoked by parent application. Parent application manages this window and when parent application terminates so […]

This article is intended to extend the idea of Inter Process Communication with a Memory Mapped File object by using a class that handles that memory object (or any memory) as a memory pool, a “heap”. This class, CAllocationHandler, creates a layout of that memory consisting of a header, an allocation table, and a memory […]

Environment: Windows 9x/NT, Visual C++ 6.0 If you use Sleep() in your code, you will soon realize that your application “appears” to block. This is because the Sleep() function does not process the message pump, and due to this your application gives the appearance of “hanging” for some time. I’ve written an alternative function which […]

CUnicodeString is a replacement for CString. If you are one of these poor guys that has to write applications that use for example NetXxx functions and don’t want to create a Unicode project, or use ANSI only functions from a unicode project or what ever, you always had to deal with MultiByteToWideChar and WideCharToMultibyte. Maybe […]
