We are looking for a replacement for the standard SDK edit control (we use
mc c7.00). The reasons are:
   * to edti files >64k (primary issue)
   * to add messages that allow color/font/..etc 
     changes on a line/word basis.
   * to add notifications when the use has clicked the 
     right mouse button... allowing retrieval of the token 
     the mouse icon is over.
   The above is not an exhaustive list.
We realize that some of these needs can be solved with 
stuff like ownerdraw, WM_CTLCOLOR and subclassing but
this can be messy and involves a lot of work. The primary
issue, again,is the 64k boundary.
Chapter 8 of "advanced windows programming" addresses the
problem but is still a lot of work.

     ASPI4DOS is a disk driver that:

1. Comes with the Adaptec 1542B SCSI controller card, assuming that you
   bought the card + driver kit.

2. Provides "ASPI functions", which are used, by other high-level
   drivers, to access various non-hard disk devices on the SCSI bus,
   such as CDROMs, tape drives, etc..

2. You supposedly need to run with Windows 3.1.  If you don't use it,
   you have to use the Win 3.1 SMARTDRV with double buffering, which
   slows down your system by quite a bit.

3. Does not seem to work on all systems.  It seems to work fine for some
   people, but not for others (like me).  Everyone seems to be
   mystified.  Microsoft technical support say that you must still use
   SMARTDRV with double buffering, while Adaptec technical support say
   that ASPI4DOS is all you need.  I'd really like to clear things up,
   as I want to attach a CDROM drive to my 1542 but can't, because
   ASPI4DOS seems to cause my system to crash (and I've tried just about
   everything to fix this, except replacing the 1542 and hard disk).

Hi,

I don't seem to be able to find a corresponding function/method in MFC for
acting on DIBs. Is there any other way besides using "straight" C calls ?
BTW, wouldn't it be easy for MS to provide class(es) for load images from
file (GIF, TIFF, BMP, etc) and for manipulating them ? Maybe this can be a
suggestion for MFC 2.0.

Thanks in advance.

PS.  BTW, does anyone knows anything about MFC 2.0 (availability, etc) ?

Subject: DOS App in a window control Windows?
Organization: Searle, Skokie, IL
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 1992 10:23:42 GMT

Are there any programs (commercial, shareware, public domain, anything)
that will allow a DOS program running in a window to issue Windows commands or
control a DLL, OLE, etc.?

I have a need to use Paradox 3.5 (Borland still says summer of '92, last I
heard, for Paradox for Windows.  Late Summer.), and have it cue Windows
programs.  I thought about using the Recorder to catch a keystroke, and have it
control both Paradox, copy from the screen, and then cue the other program, but
it's too dependent on screen positioning.

Any suggestions?  Please e-mail to jjfink@skcla.monsanto.com, as I don't read
these sections very often.

Call the 800 number, write the $69 check, upgrade your system (if

The program features:

 * 3-d rendering using red/blue stereo projection
 * new user-friendly interface
 * simulated lighting with 256 colors

Xwave requires Windows 3.1 to run.

You could write an interceptor DLL for USER (the way Petzold says it) to
intercept DefWindowProc(), but that would mean that you have to provide
entries for all USER services in your DLL. 

A better solution is to patch the function with a far jump to your function.
In your function, you then could process the messages that you want (things
like WM_NCPAINT and WM_NCATCTIVATE), then unpatch the original function,
call it, and repatch it. It's actually quite simple, and it doesn't have
to be in a DLL. But you might wanna do that early enough in the boot process.

Getting it in there early in the boot process can complicate things a little.
A better way would be to run your program from the "load/run" line of
your win.ini. It could even be a program that you can run at any point
during your windows session. Then, to  make sure that you are repainting 
all of the windows, you just walk the window list and force all windows to
do an NC_PAINT by either sending it a WM_NCPAINT message (note that this
message takes an undocumented parameter as its wParam: the clipping REGION),
or if you are focusing on 3.1 only, you could just use RedrawWindow() (not
available in 3.0).

Good luck ...

I am developing an application to which I would like to add a
command language which advanced users can utilize to configure
and control the application.  The command language should be
accessable by both:

	1) Placing commands in a file which are read/executed by
	   the program at the user's request

	2) From a command line within the application

Many applications support a "power user" language.  Examples include
WordBasic in Microsoft Word and AutoLisp in Autocad.

My question is:  Are there any suppliers of language interpreters
designed to be embedded in other applications.  Can any of the
Microsoft Basic products be used in this way?

Note: The main flow of control should remain in my compiled code.  I would
like to dispatch code fragments to the interpreter by calling a method
like:

	interpreter.evaluate(codeFragment)

rather than writing the main event loop in the interpreted language
(the way I think I would have to in visual basic).

Use the WM_TIMER message with a timer set for the time that
you wish to wait. Then prior to starting the timer, set a global

A state machine of sorts.

It is possible to load a DIB with LoadBitmap() (both homemade and standard
OBM_* control faces). It is possible to draw a dynamically-contructed DIB
with StretchDIBits(), et al. But where's the *Missing Link*, a function
named GetDIBitmapInfo() which gets the pointers to the BITMAPINFO struct
and bits array which are associated with a DIB bitmap handle, so that you
can go from LoadBitmap() to StretchDIBits() directly? Or is there
an internal transmorgrification of a DIB bitmap file which *requires*
the CreateCompatibleDC(), SelectObject(), etc., silliness?
