I have a bad habit of hitting the CapsLock key and when I type code, the shift key does the opposite, so instead of typing m_bSomeVariable, I will look up and see that I have typed M_BsOMEvARIABLE. DevStudio provides and to lower and upper case a selection, but nothing provides a “SwapCase” function. […]

One really annoying thing about DevStudio is that it doesn’t let you add a new file type with special build settings, and have those settings apply to every file of that type that you add. (Well, there is always the “Hack the Registry!!!” solution…) These are just a couple of macros I slapped together to […]

Download sample project and source files Yes – I know there is already a topic on circular push buttons but they weren’t quite what I wanted, so I wrote my own. What I wanted was a button that looked exactly like the normal buttons, but instead I wanted them circular. First of all I make […]

Tried out the CRoundButton class by Chris Maunder, and got inspired to make a Triangle Button instead (actually i copy/pasted the code structure from that) – Anyway it might be useful to someone, so here it is. A class derived from CButton, that displays the button as a triangle pointing in one of four directions […]

The purpose of CVtxButton is to create custom-shaped buttons that mimic the standard Windows user-interface. As the user of this class, you define the shape of the button using a set of simple polygons. CVtxButton then calculates the angle at which light is hitting each side of the button and uses this in combination with […]

  Download Source Code and Example. The code is basically an extension to the RoundButton class written by Chris Maunder. While his RoundButton is always circular, i have changed it such that it can have a flattened horizontal orientation. This combines Chris’ beautiful round shading with the more space-efficient appearance of an ordinary rectangle button. […]

I have some code for Owner Drawn Button, Which makes the button look flat. and when the mouse cursor, goes over it, the text will become bold and the button with the focus will have underline on the text..And when you click on it, then also it becomes bold. I have upgraded this to accept […]

Flat look (cool) toolbar buttons have been well covered. But what about including the same sort of button in a Dialog (or form or dialog bar)? This is not supported by the new common controls, so you have to do it yourself. Here is a class that does flat-look buttons for you. Just like a […]

This is the CShellFileOp class. I wrote this so i could use the standard windows explorer copy/move/delete/rename file methods. The idea is to create a CShellFileOp object, add all the source path/filenames and destination path/filenames and then delete/copy/move/rename. A sample function has been included which shows a multiple file copy operation. // ShellFileOp.h: interface for […]

  Background/Overview This article takes the original programming idea from the Wave File Editor Control and extends the application’s functionality into a client/server application set. The WaveEdit app can now be used as a stand-alone program or as a server, controlled by client applications written in VC++ or VB. Making the transition from stand-alone application […]

In this project we implemented a real-time multi-player distributed animated tank game. This project was done during one of our lab assignments in the Technion – Israel’s Technologicl Institute. Major game features: This game runs on Win32 platforms (Win95 / 98, Win NT 4 or above) Supports various communication methods (LAN, Internet, Dial-up, Direct cable) […]
