In a recent project of mine I implemented the “File-Send mail” command the standard way with CDocument::OnFileSendMail/COleServerDoc::OnFileSendMail, but because the document files of that application were of rather big size I had the idea of first compressing the document and then providing it to the MAPI compliant email client program as a compressed file. Since […]

Wayne was nice enough to give some example code in his article, but not sample project files.  Since I posted some solutions and fixes to things pertaining to this article, I have recieved several emails asking for sample code.

The package consists of three main classes: CCrystalTextBuffer class is responsible for storing lines, loading and saving text to a file. To simplify Undo/Redo command implementations, every editing operation is split into a […]

It is a hard work to switch among several functions all day long. That is why I wrote several functions to ease this common task. You can define up to 10 hotkeys, each bound to specific place  in your code. These bookmarks can be saved and reloaded in any time. I am using unnamed bookmarks, […]

This class was contributed by Andreas Leitner. This is a small class that makes it easy to create windows that are updated flicker-free. Once I had to code a window that displayed “hard to calculate” data. Since I needed to update the contents in constant time (say every second) I got this ugly flickering on […]

–> On CodeGuru there are a lot of articles to be found on Flicker Free drawing. The sheer number of articles indicates that none of them is satisfying. Most of the articles and answers suggest to use SetRedraw() on each instance you want to control the drawing (see SomeFunction() below). One drawback of that method […]

. Download a sample file. The zip file is 17KB. Flicker Free Updates Using CMemDC Creating an MS-Windows application is often an absorbing task. Many issues are often postponed until near the end of development. One commonly postponed issue is removing flicker from screen redraws. This short tip explains how to do this using the […]

The following method displays specific toolbar for each MDI child window CView type, identified by an ID related to that doc/view, while the mainframe toolbar is always displayed. The idea is to retrieve the toolbar ID from the view class. This is done by identifying the active MDI child, retrieving its document class, and from […]

Environment: VC6 SP2, WinNT 4.0 SP3, Win98 GOLD Ever since Windows 95 first came out, I have noticed that just about every developer was scambling to get all the new common controls and UI features into their applications… but it seems like nobody has yet to make a taskbar-like control. So I set out to […]

Description This document describes how to install the MSDN library on a shared location and how to setup a workstation and its Visual Studio 6 installation to use the MSDN library from this shared location. The idea is to install the library once on a ‘server’ (WinNT server, WinNT workstation, W95 or W98 PC) and […]

In my PrintTree sample I wanted to print the tree in color. This was easy for text, but not for the icons. I tried a lot to convert the imagelist to DIB, but what I really needed was a method, which gives back the DIB of one icon, not of the whole Imagelist. And here […]
