Using ShellExecute to open a web page as a child of Dialog

Hi!
I've to open a web page inside a Dialog(not as a popup) using ShellExecute. I've to use ShellExecute why because Navigate() function works only if IE is present in a System.Is this possible with ShellExecute? Or is there any other alternative?

you can't use ShellExecute like that

look at this, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752041(v=VS.85).aspx[^]

Ok. I realized that after posting the topic. Now what I want is to open my web page in a separate browser window. I don't want to open inside an already opened window. How to do this with ShellExecute?

I can understand what's said there. But I don't know what parameter values to pass to ShellExecute to accomplish my task. I need some information about parameters(change in coding).

replace www.microsoft.com with where you want to go to

This opens in a new browser window if already an window is not there. If it's there, my web page is opened in the exisiting browser window. Can we have control over the size of the browser with ShellExecute?

What value has to be set to this parameter, so that my web page is opened in a smaller browser window than the normal?

There are only 12 possibilities, and some of those do not apply (e.g., SW_HIDE). In less time than it takes to read this post (and respond), you can have over half of them tested.

If you want to open the URL in IE even if it is not set as default browser:
ShellExecute(NULL,"open","iexplore.exe", csUrlToOpen, NULL, SW_SHOW);

some special charaters like while reading XML.

Hi all,

some special extra charaters like "" are displayed while reading the xml file using CFile.
i dont want that  extra charaters.

Code:
----

int iSz = 0;
DWORD dwFileRead;
int len = (int)file.GetLength();
DWORD dwOffset=0;

char* ReadAsciiBuf = new char[len+1];
_TCHAR* Readbuf = new _TCHAR[len+1];

file.SeekToBegin();
dwFileRead = file.Read(ReadAsciiBuf+dwOffset,len);

memset(Readbuf, 0, (file.GetLength() + 1) * sizeof(TCHAR));
iSz = Mymbstowcs(Readbuf,ReadAsciiBuf,len);
strTempResult = Readbuf;
file.Close();

help me out.

Re: some special charaters like while reading XML.

they're escaped characters in the XML and they're perfectly valid (http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WD-xml-c14n-19991109.html#charescaping[^])

you're going to either have to translate them, or use an alternative xml parsing library

my advice would be to use an alternative library, the effort taken to learn how to use one will be significantly less, and more rewarding, than trying to write your own, especially if you wish to consume XML generated by a third party product

Two questions about CDockablePane class management programmatically. [modified]

SAMZCN1-Jun-11 0:31

Question 1:
I create one CDockablePane wnd and dock it in the bottom of the parent wnd. The default CDockablePane height is too short and I want to resize the height of the CDP. How to do that?

Btw, if the CDP is docked in the left/right side of the parent wnd, it works well after setting new width.

Question 2:
How to make the CDP floating when initialized. The CDP is initially docked in one side when created? I want to make it floating after it is created in the specified position with an initial size.

I feel very hard to control the CDP programmatically, like floating, resizing and moving with MFC. I found one artical from MS website about docking window management programmatically. But it is for C# Winform, not for MFC.

Still two days no replys come in. Seems not to poplular on CDockablePane class. Cry | :((

Can anyone give help?

NOTE: Ohh.... Confused | :confused:

nobody is interested in CDP usage....Why? Not a good object, is it?
