I'm new to JAVA. Is there an equivalent to C/C++ friend classes where you can declare a certain class a friend of another, so that he has access even to its private data members? I know about protected (same in C++) but that's not the same. I need acces from an 'unrelated' class. Thanks a lot...

Hi Guys! I'm very new to JAVA. I got the following assignment: I need to load an image and then through a set of menus (I've done these already) I can choose to scale the image 25%, 50%, etc. I was told I could do this with a Canvas. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to use it and...

Hi! I was wondering if anyone knows good strategies for making a plot 'resize' so that the figure that I'm drawing (a polygon) is as big as possible for the fixed availalbe drawing area (ratio is preserved). As I don't know many of the functions of the CDC class, I'm looking them up now, but...

My app consists of one main dialog box. One of the controls in the dialog is a Picture one, but I've given it a Rectangle type. Is it possible to draw only inside this area using the CDC *pDC; pDC = GetDC(); CPen bluepen; bluepen.CreatePen(PS_SOLID, 1, RGB(0,0,255)); etc... As a...

I don't like the default(?) white background color of the list box control. Is there a way to change it? Preferrably, to make it the same color as the color of the dialog box. (I'd like to achive the same effect as when you make an edit box control read-only). Thanks. Avendeval

I'm using a css file that sets some special relative positioning. After I applied the style to a several-page long text and tried printing nothing shows after the first page. I'm pretty sure it's because of this realtive position that I'm using (it's something like -7). Could that be the reason...

I have a main dialog window. By pressing a button, I open a nother window with DoModal(); Then I use CDC *pDC; pDC = GetDC(); CPen blackpen; blackpen.CreatePen(PS_SOLID, 1, RGB(0,0,0)); pDC->SelectObject(&blackpen); pDC->MoveTo(100,100); pDC->LineTo(250, 350); However, the above starts...

I don't know much about Win32 programming, I've just started using MFC. A newbie question: I've created a resource, a dialog box. My app actually consists of one dialog box with a couple of buttons. When I click one of them, I need the other dialog box to appear. How does one do that? Thanks...
