Hi, Has anyone got any idea how to call wextract.exe? I was previously using Extract.exe (DOS-based), so I was using something of the form: ShellExecute(NULL, // hWnd - window handle "open", // operation "extract.exe", // file "/Y/A/E/L c:\Temp...

I'm probably missing something blatant as I'm new to C++. However, I can't seem to get CString to work. At the moment I'm just trying a test line, copied from VStudio help to try to get it to work. I'm using: #include <string.h> CString strName = _T(&quot;Name&quot;); (I'm not entirely sure...

I do know exactly what key I am looking for - sorry that was badly worded. I'm just retreiving data from a key.

I've been told that using system(...) to run external applications is bad practice. Currently I'm using the following line of code: system(&quot;a:\\Extract.exe /Y/A/E/L &quot;+targetDir+&quot; a:\\TSPDv.cab&quot;); This is supposed to extract a cab file to targetDir. If this really is bad...

Hi, I'm pretty new to this c++ programming...did Java before - its so much easier to find information out about!! Anyway... I need to find an entry in the system registry, so that I can write a few files to the correct location. Searching on the net has produced nothing but huge packages which...

Isn't paging exactly the same as SMS? If so there have been a number of threads about SMS previously.

Thanks CajunCenturion So does that mean if i want to get more data than just the pressure (which is all it is giving me at the moment) then I have to change the value of glRequestedData? If so where do I do this? I cannot see anywhere which states glRequestedData = PK_X or similar, only where...

Hi all, I'm trying to adapt some open-source code to my needs, however the open source code which I am trying to use doesn't entirely work itself. The code can be downloaded from http://www.pointing.com/Wintab/WTEXVB6.ZIP The problem is that I do not understand how the dll is updating the data...

This may be to do with update lags. Although you tell MSAccess to update, this is not necessarily done instantly, although it will inform your computer that it has been done. Maybe you could only update to the database once all the changes are made, but display the changes that have been made...

Definitely the Wintab.dll is the way to go about it Thank you all.

Thanks johnwm...for others the page http://www.pointing.com/FTP.HTM contains the specification and a downloadable VB application (though there appear to be a few problems with it!)

Hi people, I need to get the coordinates of the pen-position on a tablet. Hence I need to access the API within Wintab.dll which can give me this information. Does anyone know - the name of this API - whether it requires any parameters to be passed - what data-type it returns Also obviously...

Thankyou to DangerPowers and DonQuichote, I'll take a look and see what I make of it!

As you said yourself reasonable muscle control will control movements of .25mm. As my pad's active area is 305mm x 226mm, this means with reasonable muscle control I will have a resolution of 1220x904, which is better than the 1024x768 resolution of the screen. In addition the whole point of...

Is there any way to &quot;catch&quot; the position data before it gets to the screen though? (The data is coming in through Com2.) If I do have to use mouse position, it will decrease the number of available coordinates as there are only going to be 1024x768 pixels on the screen, but about...
