I'd like to be able to use this message (RBN_AUTOBREAK) with my rebar control in Windows XP, and I just can't seem to get there. The application I'm working on is a .dll that is loaded by another application.
To start with, the RBN_AUTOBREAK definition in commctrl.h is surrounded by an "#if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0501)". Unfortunately, this is not defined for my application, which includes only windows.h, and commctrl.h! I can just define _WIN32_WINNT as 0x0501 myself, but I'm unsure what other consequences that will have -- there should be a better way. It's also defined in stdafx.h. Unfortunately, I can't use any of the MFC stuff in my DLL, because it requires OLE, and I can't initialise OLE in a DLL (see help for AfxOleInit function). There's also one (_WIN32_WINNT) in winresrc.h -- maybe I should use that. Whatever I need is certainly undocumented in the RBN_AUTOBREAK help, where IMHO, it should be.
Now, beyond that (and assuming I fake the definition of RBN_AUTOBREAK myself), I'm just not getting the RBN_AUTOBREAK notification. According to the MSDN help page on RBN_AUTOBREAK, you need to declare that you want to use common controls verson 6 in a manifest -- so this is probably the issue. I honestly have no idea what version I'm using now, nor do I know how to find out.
Trying to look into that, I look at the help on "Using Windows XP Visual Styles" (I don't actually want to use Win XP Visual Styles, just RBN_AUTOBREAK, but the RBN_AUTOBREAK help points here!), which very nicely has a section called "Using ComCtl32 Version 6 in an Application That Uses Extensions, Plug-ins, or a DLL That Is Brought into a Process". Whee! So far so good!
Only, I really am stumped by the last step (5), which says "Add the manifest to your application's resource file as follows: ". Which windows resource file am I supposed to add this to? My .rc file? I should just go in and manually edit that? Or my resource.h file? Tried that -- it wouldn't compile, unsurprisingly. The line they are asking me to add is "MANIFEST_RESOU RCE_ID RT_MANIFEST "YourApp.manife st"
", which parses out to: "2 MAKEINTRESOURCE (24) "YourApp.manife st", which is certainly not valid C/C++ in any form I know.
Maybe the documentation is wrong? Maybe I'm going crazy? Help! I just want to get the RBN_AUTOBREAK message from my rebar control!

:-) RBN_AUTOBREAK requires at least Windows XP (aka NT v5.1). Now if you can
be sure that your application will never run on an earlier platform you can
either define the token or set it in the IDE.

Hi I have a problem with a customer's XML being submitting to me in a
non-well-format XML.
They said that there are 18 other partners who has been able to tweak the
XML to make it work.
So I guess here is my question, in ASP, when working with XML, how do you
handle non-well-formed XML documents on the "listener" response side?

OK, very nice.
What's trivial about these examples is that the returned string is exactly
the same length as the string which is actually read...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
