| Special Edition Using Visual C++ 6.0 | 21 | Where is Control Pad? | According to "Using Visual C++ 6" book, chapter 21, page 516, there's
supposed to be an application
downloadable from Microsoft called "Control Pad." The web address URL does
not call up a web site
with anything like that at all.
Is it still available for downloading? If not, how should I proceed with
creating the ATL control per the
manual?
| It's moved within Microsoft |
| Special Edition Using Visual C++ 5.0 | CD | Problem with files from the CD | When trying to load from CD I get the message "cannot access
ClassView info file. ClassView info will not be available". I also tried
copying files from CD to hard drive but still get warning about not being
able to access ClassView info. (I am
opening the .dsw file )
| The files are read-only |

| Other Topics | | Visual C++ | At first I want to say "THANKS A LOT !!!" to your company for the best book "Special edition using Visual C++ 6.0". My question is how can I do cells eidt mode using Microsoft FlexGrid Control 6.0 ActiveX. All classes already are built with class wizard support. But problem is what property or event should I redefine to edit cell (or to do Combo Box in the cell). Perhaps, I have to use another grid ActiveX control. | |
| Special Edition Using Visual C++ 6.0 | 2 | Where is sdidialog.h | On page 50-51, it instructs to add #include "sdidialog.h" to CSdiApp::InitInstance(). However, upon compilation, I get an error that it was unable to find "sdidialog.h". I have searched the entire hard drive, as well as the VC++ 6.0 Enterprise CDs and cannot find it. I also have VC++ 5.0 Enterprise, and there is nothing similar there either. Is this some kind of add-on file or where do I get this file?
Thank you for your help! | Look at the bottom of page 47. |
| Special Edition Using Visual C++ 5.0 | | Unreadable CD | Your CD doesn't work with my Windows 98.
I get a message from the CD saying "...corrupted Cabinet file"
Thanks | |
| Special Edition Using Visual C++ 6.0 | 4 | Multiple Templates | I'm making my way through your book -quite good, by the way.
But I'm stumped on pages 94,95. I want to do have multiple docs/views:
m_pTemplate1 = new CMultiDocTemplate(
IDR_DRAWTYPE,
RUNTIME_CLASS(CDrawDoc),
RUNTIME_CLASS(CChildFrame), // custom MDI child frame
RUNTIME_CLASS(CDrawView));
AddDocTemplate(m_pTemplate1);
m_pTemplate2 = new CMultiDocTemplate(
IDR_DRAWTYPE2,
RUNTIME_CLASS(CDrawDoc2),
RUNTIME_CLASS(CChildFrame), // custom MDI child frame
RUNTIME_CLASS(CDrawView2));
AddDocTemplate(m_pTemplate2);
I add those member vars to the class,
I figure out how to add the resource symbol IDR_DRAWTYPE2,
I add the 2 new classes through ClassWizard,
CDrawDoc2, CDrawView2, it's accepted, but when I build the project:
error C2653: CDrawView2 is not a class or Namespace
(same for CDrawDoc2)
(??? something is missing someplace ???)
I'll be grateful for a response
Thanks,
Joe Berman
