Thankyou very much ArkM - that explains where I've gone wrong. I think, as you say, some rethinking architecturally is required but I understand the problem now. Appreciate the help.

Further to my last post this all works if I change the dynamic array in keywordbin to be static e.g CHAR keywords[MAX_NUM_KEYWORDS_PER_GROUP][MAX_KWD_LENGTH]; I can sort of see that there might be problems creating objects where the compiler cant tell the size of the object (as with the...

Hi all, I'm writing a language file parsing utility and have a hit a brick wall using the new operator. I have a struct for keywords as follows : struct KEYWORDBIN { INT keywordindex; CHAR name[MAX_STR_SIZE]; BOOL iscasesensitive; COLOUR colour...

Fair enough - I thought it made things clearer personally. I typedef all my standard types into caps - again because for me it makes things more transparent (personal preference). The code is a snippet which I copy and pasted. If it makes a difference I have exactly the same problem if I strip...

I'm writing a data parsing utility and am coming unstuck (spectacularly) when I try to parse a keyword set. I have a struct as follows for a keyword group : // Keyword Bin : struct KEYWORDBIN { INT keywordindex; CHAR name[MAX_STR_SIZE]; BOOL iscasesensitive; COLOUR colour...

DOS Time Bits : 0–4 :- Second divided by 2 5–10 :- Minute (0–59) 11–15 :- Hour (0–23 on a 24-hour clock) Alternatively the function 'DosDateTimeToFileTime' will get you a windows FileTime. 'FileTimeToSystemTime' will then you 'normal' time formats.

Can't really say a lot without a sample of your code. The example below is one way to do this sort of thing : static CCHAR source_ext[5] = "*.cpp"; WIN32_FIND_DATA wfd; HANDLE fhdl; fhdl = FindFirstFile(source_ext, &wfd); if (fhdl != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) { do { blah...

First create a DLL with an exported function that is used as the hooking function. __declspec(dllexport) LRESULT CALLBACK HookFunction(int code,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam) { blah blah.... } Secondly install the system-wide hook. To install the hook, the DLL must be loaded, the hook...

Thats exactly what I needed (once again). Many thanks :-)

Thanks a lot guys :-) From this I can get the distance along the tangent line to place the bezier handle. What I'm unsure about is how best to calculate the co-ordinate points of the handle. I have two lines (chord and tangent), know the length of both lines, the angle between them and two of...

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking - the dependancy is reduced as the header file 'b.h' doesn't need to know about the header file 'a.h'. You might also be able to extend this by replacing #include <iostream> with #include <iosfwd> if a forward declaration of the stream will suffice...

To narrow down the problem : I have a circle in which I know the endpoints of a chord in the circle and the angle between the tangent to an endpoint and the chord. I require the radius of the circle. thx.

I am provided with two endpoints and the tangent to an endpoint (or both endpoints as the curve must be uniform). I need to draw a uniform curve (section of a perfect circle)from one endpoint to the other as a 4 node bezier curve (two anchors being the two endpoints and two handles determining...

Alternatively <http://www.mentalis.org/apilist/apilist.php> provides VB declarations for most common API functions along with small samples.

At a guess you might try one of the IContextMenu implementations in the Shell interface.
