I could never justify purchasing that. But then again, isn't that the difference of choice of compiler/OS/&c...

Go to some college or university, ask them if they have can get really cheap copies of programs, ask him if he can get one for you, and bam! You have yourself a copy of a legal VC++ 2003 cd for just 20 bucks

badbasser98 · Oct 25th, 2005, 8:23 AM

I got my copy for $109 USD (including shipping) from www.pcconnection.com

Its not the Visual Suite. Its just the Visual C++ .NET Standard. Yes, one of them is over $600.

nnxion · Oct 25th, 2005, 1:48 PM

I have the Visual Studio Enterprise Architect Edition 2003 which costs: $2459.99, but I really did not pay that price.

Why not pay the programmers what they deserve? If you cannot do that, then don't use there product.

The end.

I wouldn't like people pirating my work.... (if I can get that good to actually have published work)

I like doing everything the legal way, then you don't have to worry about it.

The program works the way I want it to, except it does not draw the progress bar, or the related text when the individual files are being removed. Is there a specific command I must give in the...

(Toggle Plain Text)

 case WM_PAINT:

area of the code? I thought I read that somewhere, but I do not know the command if that is what has to be done.

Sorry, I am such a NEWB at this... Haven't had much time to play with Visual .NET yet.

Thanks for any help,

Uhmm you are supposed to have a loop somewhere, where you do the work, as that progresses, you want it to do:

(Toggle Plain Text)

SendMessage(hwndPB, PBM_STEPIT, 0, 0);

You only do this once in your code, you should do it many times to let it increment the value on the bar.
Show us your new code so we can help again. You don't have to give a special command in the WM_PAINT case.

badbasser98 · Oct 27th, 2005, 8:33 AM

I am actually using SendMessage(hwndPB, PBM_DELTAPOS, 20, 0); which is supposed to add to where the last step left off, which I thought would work better than doing it as a percentage. I have it set to a 0-100 range with 5 steps of 20.

This is the code for the stepping segment.

Also, I would like that text to be displayed in the main window after the remove(); command takes place so that the end user knows if any, and what were recovered.
