Background A project I have been working on requires a certain amount of visual flair. I created a set of visual elements which are unique, yet familiar enough to users that they are not confused by the control. One of these controls is the BounceButton; I will post other controls later as I get time. […]

This article was contributed by Chad Loder. Here are two very short macros that illustrate the regular expession find and replace features available both from the GUI and within the macro environment. The first macro removes all trailing whitespace from all lines in the file. A naive implementation would loop over each line in the […]

This article was contributed by Chad Loder. These macros offer several improvements over the bubblesort line sorting macro submitted by Harald Mueller. The improvements include: The sorting is done off-screen in an array, which boosts the speed tremendously. Mueller’s sorting implementation "bubbles" the lines directly in the file, so the bottleneck of his macro is […]

Environment: VC6, WindosNT4 SP3 I’m korean and not good at English. In case of using CSocket class, We have problem to verify connction between computers. This class(CSock) is solving this problem with method below. CSocket don’t return the proper time when it disconnects another socket. This cause performance of program to down. I can find […]

CArchiveExt is enhanced archiving class derived from CArchive. It have 2 additional features: encryption and compression. CArchiveExt class may be used instead of CArchive class in serialization. The class uses the zlib source code. The ‘zlib’ general purpose compression library version 1.1.3, July 9th, 1998. Copyright (C) 1995-1998 Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler. To use […]

I needed a round slider control to let my users enter an angle. I thought this could be useful to others, so I wrote a general class for it using some of the functions from Chris Maunder’s CRoundButton class. To use, simply add a slider to your dialog. Enlarge it until it covers an approximately […]

Environment: VC6, WIN 9x A Simple Win32 Command-Line Parser I was disapointed when I first discovered that (non-console) Win32 apps did not have argc and argv. This class is my solution. CmdLineArgs is a subclass of STL vector. After instantiation, it contains the command line args for your app. argc – size() argv – operator[] […]

Environment: VC6 SP2 The Tetris Clone CGTetris This game was born by a wish of my wife, an ultimate Tetris fan, to play a "nice" Tetris on the PC. Many clones of Tetris in the net were all not good enough (not nice :-),  boring or simply unplayable …). Buying such a (comparatively trivial) game […]

At least in my opinion, the largest feature lacking from the Visual Studio editing environment is emacs-style paren-matching. While it is impossible (so far as I know) to do *real* highlighting back to the matching punctuation pair (in VStudio-macro-land, changes of selection aren’t reflected in a screen update until end-of-macro), it is possible to get […]

. Environment: This code was compiled and tested with Visual C++ 6.0 In many applications it is necessary to have a logging system which logs text into a file.The following class provides such a logging system which is very easy to use. The features include 1. Logging of text directly / using string table ids […]

This is the code for CLogFile, a utility class for logging errors to a disk file. The constructor of the file takes the log file name as the argument. The main function is LOGERROR(TCHAR* formatString, …), which takes variable number of arguments. So this function can be called with format specifications. In addition this class […]

This small example is for the beginner who wants to create an ActiveX control by superclassing the windows common control using ATL 3.0. If you don’t have VC6, you need to install OLE DB1.1 from VC5 for this project to work properly. On this site, a lot of excellent examples about tree controls are already […]
