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'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...

I have a form, on which I have set the property WindowState to 2-Maximized. However when you change the state of the taskbar eg to AutoHide or make it larger/smaller, the size of the maximized form does not change to compensate. Whatever the state of the toolbar, the form takes up the entire...

I'm trying to stop users using tab to stop on either of two option buttons inside a frame. However after setting tabstop to false at both runtime and design time, pressing tab still allows the user to give focus to the option buttons. Why is this happening and how do I get it to work?

This should be really easy, but I cannot seem to do it... How do I change the font color of a cmd button? You don't seriously have to take a screenshot of the text you want and use a graphical button do you? If this is the case then how can I trigger the button using shortcuts like Alt+A...

Hi all I have been told I need my .exe to reside on the server, but be executed on multiple desktops. The company have decided this as when updates are made, they only need to update the one file. The question is: do I still need to install all the dlls on each user-computer, or as the exe is...

I'm trying to get the frm.Width and frm.Height properties at run-time, so as I can position my controls on the form. The problem is that I want the form to be maximized on opening (hence I have set the windowstate to maximized), however this does not adjust the .Width and .Height properties...

How do I make a form take up the entire screen? I also want the form not to have any control points for resizing etc and no way out of the form unless you do something like right-click on it, which will bring up a menu. Basically I want to what a DVD player does when it takes up the entire...

Hi all The aim I have is to add a new record to a single table. However the way I am doing it at the moment means I am opening the entire table in a recordset and then updating...I'm guessing this is not particularly efficient. Is there a better way to add/append a new record to the end of an...
