For mingw32 compiler you need to include the libcomctl32.a file in the
compiler options. In Dev-C++ you go to Project Options and click on
"Load Object Files". Look for the one above.

There are some definitions missing in the mingw32 commctrl.h header.
This will work.

#define ICC_BAR_CLASSES 4

Some other definitions are only available if you define in your code

#define _WIN_32 0x0400 // defines for Internet explorer 4.0

If that was addressed to me here's the text of my earlier reply:

"I have 64 Meg of RAM in the system and in the neighborhood of 15 to 20
free when I start to compile the program.  During compilation free
memory never drops below 10 Meg."

I'd like to turn off the debugging code added by the compiler but
program that I'm working on desperately needs it.  Four or five minutes
per compile is a bit constraining.  Does anyone know if I would benefit
by switching to the Cygwin compiler?  Perhaps I should implement handle
classes (or the "Cheshire cat") that I read about today in chapter 5 of
Eckel's Thinking in C++.

Well that will usually be automatic for any program just depends on your

Is there an archive for dev-cpp-users-lists?  There was one up until 
December of 2000 but it hasn't been active since then.  Is there a new one 
somewhere else?

I'm working my way through a book called "Windows 98 Programming From the 
Ground Up" and have reached the point where Common Controls are 
discussed.  I have entered the sample program to create a popup window with 
a vertical bar control and it uses the InitCommonControlsEx()  This 
requires "commctrl.h" and supposedly "comctl32.h" also.  The error I am 
getting is "ICC_BARS_CLASSES declared for first time".  This is supposed to 
be part of the INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX structure.  When I look in the Include 
directory for Dev-C++, there is no "comctl32.h" header file and 
"commctrl.h" does not declare it either.  There is a "comctl32.def" 
definition file in the Library directory but I thought Windows 95 didn't 
use them.  Anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?  I'm afraid that 
I move further in the book I'll experience the same errors for all the 
"ICC_..._CLASSES"  Thanks.

Hi,

> hi everyone. i was wondering if any one new how to create a data structure
> file e.g. a data base file in C++.

I am not sure what exactly you mean. The general way to do it is: write
a function or better a method to load/save one structure. Then do it in
a cycle for each structure in the database. And define a function or
method to load/save the whole database. It will write/load the number of
structures in it (and perhaps some more info like the name of the
database), allocate the memory needed and read the structures in a
cycle.

If you think of reading a structure with just one call like cin >>
structure; then you need to define an overloaded >> operator for the
structure.

And if you mean accessing .DBF file then I don't how to do it, since I
don't know its format.

>   i was also wondering if anyone nows how to create folders without using "
> system("md test"); ".

I think there are no functions for directory operations in the ANSI/ISO
standard, so the source code is platform dependent. Under Windows, use
the function CreateFile to open a dir and get a handle (sounds strange,
but it really is CreateFile), CreateDirectory or CreateDirectoryEx to
create a dir, RemoveDirectory to remove it, GetCurrentDirectory and
SetCurrentDirectory to get/set current dir. 

Hope this helps

I understand that:
   wndclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW + 1);
set the background color of the window.

And I _think_ that:
  COLOR_ACTIVEBORDER
  COLOR_ACTIVECAPTION
  COLOR_APPWORKSPACE
  COLOR_INACTIVECAPTION
  COLOR_MENU
  COLOR_MENUTEXT
  COLOR_SCROLLBAR
set the colors for other parts of the (same?) window.

However, how do you set multiple window parts in one pass
(declaration?)?.

PS. I'm using C not C++, and a small example would be nice.

Thanks.  It would seem, however, that my problem linking GLUT programs
wasn't because of library problems or anything.  I figured that since I
could compile the code with no problems using my bash shell in cygwin, there
had to be something wrong with the way Dev-C++ was set up.  To make a long
story short, I poked around through all of the option and setting dialogs
and ultimately found the switch to use the cygwin compiler instead of mingw.
I didn't have to change anything like it says in the cygwin and mingw .txt
file.  Max's GLUT tutorials now compile just fine.  I just copied the glut
.h and .a files from my cygwin tree to make sure I was using ones that work.

Standard problem with standard solution:

1 - store cube's position in [x,y,z]
2 - translate cube to origin (0,0,0)
3 - rotate cube as desired
4 - rotate [x,y,z,] as desired
5 - translate cube back to new [x,y,z,]
6 - draw cube

there is a FAQ and a newsgroup about graphic algorithms.

It seems that you are invoking BIOS interrupts for controlling the video. I guess
you may want to search for a list of BIOS functions in the web before you
continue.
I know that this list is somewhere on the net but I do not have the URL.

I would suggest that you use one the standard libraries for controlling your
hardware safely. Some information about video can be found on the Allegro game
programmers web-site. http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/ Another nice library
is sdl. http://www.sdllib.org/ ( I personally use the Allegro library)

Why is this particular video mode so important for you? Its resolution seems to
low for any new application?

This is from the faq,
6. The EXE files created are huge. What can i do to reduce the size ?

If you want to reduce your exe file size from 330 Ko to 12 Ko for example,
go to compiler options. Then click on the Linker page and uncheck "Generate
debug information". This will remove debugging information (if you want to
debug, uncheck it). You can also click on Optimization page and check "Best
optimization".

you can also use the getch() function, this function waits for a key to be
pressed before it continues.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h> /* getch() found here */

int main()
{
  /* Some code */

  getch();
  return;

Check this out !

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/paul.gerfen/downloads/down.htm

At the bottom you will find the requested libraries works, 
I promise ;) !

Unzipped it properly (I guess you can), then you have to 
make projects with

#include <windows.h>
#include <gl/gl.h>
#include <gl/glut.h>

that's enough ! Project options, Further options, -
lopengl32 -lglu32 -lglut32 !

Don't thank me lol ! Good opengling !
