For a new Project I needed the function, to create Links to a File (in Startmenu and Autostart). But that is the Point to take a look on the MFC-Classes. But there is not so many Info about. The Old-Version (for Win 3.11) with DDE was nice and runs fine. But that is not the […]

Recently I have seen numerous postings on the message board asking about options for inter-process communication.  One of the many techniques available is the standard SendMessage function with the WM_COPYDATA message.  There seems to be very few samples available regarding this so I decided to write one.  Once I got into this, I found two […]

Program description: A syntax highlighted text editor designed for programmers. The user can select between the available programming languages ( such as C++, Pascal, Basic, VRML ), or can define his/her own syntax with ease ( fully visually ). Furtheremore HighLight can save your text file as a UNIX-file, or in HTML or RTF formats […]

For a project I have been working on for the last few months, I wanted to add in a ListBox that would allow the user to select a "block" of text instead of just a single line. The resulting class CMultiLineListBox is a derived class of CListBox. The original code for this class was taken […]

Overview The MFC FAQ "Item 6.3.5. How do I enable/disable a bank of checkboxes?" discusses a technique for enabling/disabling a "bank" of check boxes. I would like to present a method of enabling/disabling a "Group" of controls. Background If a control uses the WS_GROUP style, it "Specifies the first control of a group of controls […]

************************************************************************************ Special Note: This Demo was inspired by the work of Matt Gullett,   “A Property List Control”. ************************************************************************************ The following is a result of my attempt to create a control that would allow an application to add objects to that control. These objects need not share the same properties. This control is a CListCtrl derived […]

Implementation Although the big picture view of COM technology is straightforward, the actual implementation is intimidating. In the big picture, COM lets a program (the client) safely run binary code in another executable or DLL (the COM server) on your computer or on any computer to which you are linked.  In practice this means that […]

This code represents one of my current experiments with active script hosting. I am not sure if the code will be useful for you, i am not even sure if the code will be useful for me either. The explanation of my uncertainty is in the readme.txt file, packed along with the project. I have […]

Introduction This article follows on from the Active Script Hosting discussions of Andrew Garbuzov. Before you start on adding debugger support to your active script it’s probably a good idea to have active scripts up and running…. The code in this article builds on the Microsoft sample : "MFCAXS.EXE: MFCAXS Implements an Active Script Host […]

In this article will be described a way of implementing of an ActiveX script host with MFC. An ActiveX script host is an application that can run some code written in other language (VBScript, VBA, Java script) and can expose the application’s internal COM to the script being runned. The Micrososft’s Internet Explorer, Excel, Word, […]

This article shows how to use ATL to leverage the functionality of a C++ Document/View application to any other type of application that can use COM. This article is a companion to the article “Leveraging C++ Applications Using COM An Extension of the Document View Architecture” which is also posted at www.codeguru.com. Using ATL, a […]

In my previous article “ActiveX Control Tutorial”, I tried to explain how to write a complete ActiveX control. At the end of the article I included two examples to show how this control can be used in different application. I didn’t explain how we can create a project which will act as container for out […]
