You could just use the free Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler / IDE, it comes with everything together. [link] (http://www.microsoft.com/Express/VC/#webInstall)

Sure, but I get the feeling you didn't search first. Try this:#include <iostream>
#include <direct.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {
_mkdir("C:\\My Directory");
}

Just because it doesn't work, doesn't mean the compiler has a bug. I changed it, and it worked. I just used the resource code from another project which had a auto-generated resource file.

There's...

I'm pretty confident that's not how it works, the preprocessor just replaces #include "resource.h" with the content of the file anyway. I think it's something to do with your resource file code, it...

When you get into problems with resources like this, just start over, it saves yourself trouble in the long run. Also, use a resource Viewer/Editor if possible, it prevents these sort of problems.

I'm afraid the code is correct :)
The problem is a compiler setting, make sure the project is a "Windows Application".

And if you seriously can't figure out the compiler option (and you're using...

The easy way, at the very start of your code, add this line:#pragma comment(lib, "comctl32.lib")

Yep, nezachem is correct, the prototypes in that header mean nothing if they aren't linked with the right library. Try linking to comctl32.lib.

The file doesn't need to appear in the solution explorer. Do you know how to work with resource files? You can put any kind of file into a resource file, you just need the right commands to read...

See example code and attachments.#include <windows.h>
#include "resource.h"
#pragma comment(lib,"Winmm.lib")

int WINAPI WinMain(
HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
...

Well, to use that line of code, the .wav file has to be in the same directory as the executable/project folder if you're running directly from Visual Studio. If you want to attach it to your resouce...

You forgot the SND_FILENAME argument, change that line to:PlaySound((LPCWSTR)"tone.wav", 0, SND_LOOP|SND_ASYNC|SND_FILENAME);and it should work.

Not sure, but does this work?Datetime^ curDate = gcnew Datetime();
curDate = DateTime::Now;

Yep, almost all spaces (except those between keywords) are ignorable, so in the end the compiler would just see it as int*a anyway.

So you want to swap keys around, for example the user presses 'INSERT', 'A' is pressed instead? You don't need to use SendInput, it's much simpler to use keybd_event, so you can change that case...

Misread the question, but that's still a great way to detect keypresses, the rest shouldn't be hard.

Really not the best way to detect keystrokes, I'd suggest a Windows hook, because you can actually change what the output of that key will be. For example, here's how you could turn the Space bar...

Good (: You can flag the thread as solved at the bottom.

I edited my post maybe before you tried that code, try again. There's no reason why that function shouldn't work, if it still doesn't work, show me the code you're using.

Either turn UNICODE off, or change the code to:#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

void saveCaption(HWND hwnd, TCHAR *filename) {
int...

Wouldn't usually give away code, but it's just so small.#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

void saveCaption(HWND hwnd, char *filename) {
...

Check variables that you allocated memory on, and make sure you deleted it somewhere else in the code. If you forget to free any memory, that's a memory leak.

Perhaps the PlaySound (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa909766.aspx) function?
PlaySound("H:\\sissys.mp3", NULL, SND_FILENAME);

If it's the default tab-control, then your event handler should look somewhat like this:case WM_NOTIFY:
{
HWND tabs = GetDlgItem(hDlg, IDC_TABS);
switch (...

Show me your code.

Have you already programmed the functionality of the tabs? and do you have a HWND of the text box? If not, these are small details I can still help with.

If you use SetFocus on the handle to the text box, it should move the text cursor to there.
Just tried it, it worked.

Have you tried SetFocus (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646312(VS.85).aspx)?

Glad to see you got it working :icon_lol:
You're welcome.

Don't know, if you did everything I said it should have worked.

You're missing two sets of end curly braces, change the end to this:private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) {
form2 ^secondForm = gcnew...

When you double click your button in designer mode, it takes you to the code that's executed once it's pressed, It would look something like this:private: System::Void mybutton_Click(System::Object^ ...

Looks good to me.

Okay, now at the top up your header file Form1.h, add the code:#include "Form2.h"and to hide the current form and open the new one, place this code in the event handler of the...

Remember, you're using managed C++, so you need to use managed types.String^ ba = "41516.7095211088";
Double bb = Convert::ToDouble( ba );
Int32 rounded = (Int32)Math::Round( bb );...

Yes, merge them, all you have to do as far as i know is rename the second form to "Form2" and copy it to the first project. Once you've done that, linking them together isn't too hard.

Try that...

If it's an std::string, do mystr.c_str() to get a character array, to access an individual character, do mystr[charIndex]. This is all over the web, try searching first.

One windows header file usually includes 10/15 others, you can never be sure if it's included until you check. Besides, there's no harm in putting #include<iostream> again, that's what header guards...

If you want to 'copy' the string into a character buffer, you have to do something along the lines of:char *newStr = new char[str.length()+1];
strcpy( newStr, str.c_str() );

// Deal with newStr
...

You clearly didn't search hard.str.c_str() // returns a constant pointer to its characters

If you're curious, test it on your own computer :P
I just did, and it did exactly what I said it would.

Damage? I doubt it. The physical memory would quickly run out, and then your pc would automatically free all the memory you allocated when you restart the pc or somehow close it.
