I wanted to create a dialog based application that a user can select an item from the left and displays different dialog to the right. I drag and drop a picture control into the left side that will serve as container of the child dialog. Then, I created also a child dialog with button in the resource as, Right-click the child dialog and select properties. The following properties should be as, Border = None Style = Child System Menu = False Title Bar = False Visible = True I selected the child dialog and right-click to create a class as, After creating the class, add the code below in the constructor and first argument is your class name. Create(YourClassName::IDD,pParent); Then, to dynamically add the child dialog to the picture control in our main dialog you can do it as, m_pYourClassName = new YourClassName(this); CRect rc; GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC_DEVICE)->GetWindowRect(rc); ScreenToClient(&rc); m_pYourClassName->MoveWi

I've encountered an error when mounting in my Linux box. Previously it was okay but somehow now it didn't. To fix all I did is restart the service where the "//XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/Share"  is located as below, That's it!

I wanted to call Java functions from C++ and searching in the internet I found some codes but seems lacking more details. What I will do here is to make it complete. CALLING JAVA IN C++ USING MS VISUAL STUDIO 2008 Requirements: -JDK ( I used jdk1.7.0_55 32bit)  -Visual Studio 2008 Procedure: 1. Add the library "jvm.lib". Remember this library exist when you install the JDK 2. Add the 2 path of the include files of the JDK 3. Add the library path 4. Create the Java source and compile them (javac * to compile everything in the folder). The source location in my MS Windows environment is D:\MyFiles\Downloads\Java Src\TestStruct //HelloWorld.java public class HelloWorld {       public static void main(String args[])       {          System.out.println("Hello World!");          System.out.println("This is the main function in HelloWorld class");       }       public s

I have an application without borders so I cannot move the application. This application has a wxPanel so the only way I can click and drag is thru the wxPanel. How to implement mouse drag? class myFrame : public wxFrame { public: myFrame(const wxString& title, wxWindow *parent=NULL); wxWindow* parent; private: wxDECLARE_EVENT_TABLE(); } class myPanel : public wxPanel { public: myPanel (wxWindow* parent)     { this->parent = parent; dragging=false; x=0,y=0;               Create(parent, wxID_ANY,wxDefaultPosition, *new wxSize(100,100));     } void onMouseDown(wxMouseEvent& evt) { CaptureMouse(); x = evt.GetX(); y = evt.GetY(); dragging=true; } void onMouseUp(wxMouseEvent& evt) { ReleaseMouse(); dragging=false; } void onMove(wxMouseEvent& evt) { if(dragging) { wxPoint mouseOnScreen = wxGetMousePosition(); int newx = mouseOnScreen.x - x;

1. I created the class xOsdHeaderPanel 2. Must call the function wxInitAllImageHandlers(); 3. Create a wxBitmap object and call SetBackgroundBitmap(..) class xOsdHeaderPanel : public wxCustomBackgroundWindow<wxPanel> { public: xOsdHeaderPanel(wxWindow* parent)     { wxInitAllImageHandlers(); const wxSize xxsize(733,80);         Create(parent, wxID_ANY,wxDefaultPosition,xxsize); wxBitmap bitmap(*new wxImage(wxT("./Header.png"),wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG)); SetBackgroundBitmap(bitmap); new wxButton(this,wxID_ANY,wxT("Sample Button"));     } }; Result:
