- Good day!
- I'm currently using Microsoft Visual C++ 1.52 to program our thesis
- project and I'm not that familiar yet. I would like to ask a few questions:
- 1.) How do I include graphics in my listbox. Say for an example, I'm
- going to display on my list box the currently connected computers in my local
- area network but on each name of the computer listed I want a small drawing
- of a computer before it? Right now I'm using the member function AddString
- of CListBox to display items. I don't if it can likewise display drawings to
- make it more creative.
- 2.) How do I create modeless dialog boxes? I'm in need of dialog boxes
- which will try display a message without preempting the current process the
- computer is doing.
- 3.) I'm trying to include Help in my program. My book says that all I
- need is to choose the option Context sensitive help in the Appwizard, build it
- and then run MAKEHELP.BAT. How come it always comes out with the error "BAD
- COMMAND OR FILE NAME"? Do I need to add more parameters, my book doesn't men-
- tion it all it says is that I will find dots displayed on my screen and a
- .HLP file will be created, but there were none.
- 4.) Is it possible to have an edit control box in a dialog box to
- have a preformatted input. An example is trying to input an IP address.
- My edit box would appear like this ___.___.___.___ and all the user has
- to do is to fill out the spaces without having to type in the dot. If it's
- possible, what are the command messages I need to manipulate and other
- things I need to do?
- 5.) How do I update the status bar? It only works when you're trying
- to choose from a menu. Instead of using message boxes, I think it would
- be nice if I'd just prompt the user on what to do by displaying it on the
- status bar.
- Again,I thank you for taking this time to answer a few of my questions.
- Thank you very much.
