VIVA - QUESTIONS
1. How one can assign the tool tips in a toolbar?
i. To create a ToolTip, you simply add the tip text to the end of the menu
prompt, preceded by a newline (\n) character. The resource editor lets you
edit the prompt string while you are editing the toolbar images. Just doubleclick in the left panel.
2. Explain the status bar definitions.
ii. The status bar window neither accepts user input nor generates command
messages. The status bar supports two types of text panesmessage line
panes and status indicator panes.
iii. The static indicators array that AppWizard generates in the MainFrm.cpp
file defines the panes for the application's status bar. The
CStatusBar::SetIndicators member function, called in the application's
derived frame class, configures the status bar according to the contents of
the indicators array.

VIVA - QUESTIONS
1. Explain the CFormView class.
iv. A CFormView object receives notification messages directly from its
controls, and it receives command messages from the application
framework. This application framework command-processing ability clearly
separates CFormView from CDialog, and it makes controlling the view from
the frame's main menu or toolbar easy.
v. The CFormView class is derived from CView (actually, from CScrollView)
and not from CDialog. You can't, therefore, assume that CDialog member
functions are supported. CFormView does not have virtual OnInitDialog,
OnOK, and OnCancel functions.
2.Define TRACE macro.
vi. TRACE statements are active whenever the constant _DEBUG is defined
(when you select the Debug target and when the afxTraceEnabled variable
is set to TRUE). TRACE statements work like C language printf statements,
but they're completely disabled in the release version of the program. Here's
a typical TRACE statement:
vii. int nCount = 9;

viii. CString strDesc("total");
ix. TRACE("Count = %d, Description = %s\n", nCount, strDesc);
3.What do you mean by serialization?
x. The idea is that objects can be persistent, which means they can be saved on
disk when a program exits and then can be restored when the program is
restarted. This process of saving and restoring objects is called serialization.
4.What are the classes used in MDI applications?
xi. Six classes are used in MDI. They are,
CView, CDocument, CDialog, CWinApp, CMainFrame, CChildFrame

VIVA - QUESTIONS
1. What do you mean by SQL?
Structured Query Language (SQL), a standard database access language with its own
grammar. In the SQL world, a database is a collection of tables that consist of rows and columns.
Many DBMS products support SQL, and many programmers know SQL.
2. What Databases Can You Open with DAO? (A.U.APRIL 2007)
Opening an Access database (MDB file)An MDB file is a self-contained database that
includes query definitions, security information, indexes, relationships, and of course the actual
data tables. You simply specify the MDB file's pathname.
Opening an ODBC data source directlyThere's a significant limitation here. You can't
open an ODBC data source that uses the Jet engine as a driver; you can use only data sources that
have their own ODBC driver DLLs.
Attaching external tables to an Access databaseThis is actually the preferred way of
using DAO to access ODBC data. First you use Access to attach the ODBC tables to an MDB file,
and then you use DAO to open the MDB file as in the first option. You can also use Access to
attach ISAM files to an MDB file.

VIVA - QUESTIONS
1.Define WINAPI?(A.U.APRIL 2007)
The WINAPI identifier is defined in WINDEF.H with the statement:
#define WINAPI __stdcall
19
VP LAB-LM
Dr.N.N.C.E
MCA / IV
VP LAB-LM
This statement specifies a calling convention that involves how machine code is
generated to place function call arguments on the stack. Most Windows function calls are
declared as WINAPI.
2.What is use of Message Box function?
The Message Box function is used to display short messages. The little window
that Message Box displays is actually considered to be a dialog box.
3. What are the function calls used in windows programming?
LoadIcon Loads an icon for use by a program.
LoadCursor Loads a mouse cursor for use by a program.
GetStockObject Obtains a graphic object, in this case a brush used for painting the
window's background.
RegisterClass Registers a window class for the program's
window. \
MessageBox Displays a message box.
CreateWindow Creates a window based on a window class.
4. What is a Handle? What is its advantage?
A handle is simply a number (usually 32 bits in size) that refers to an object. The handles in
Windows are similar to file handles used in conventional C or MS-DOS programming. A program
almost always obtains a handle by calling a Windows function. The program uses the handle in
ther Windows functions to refer to the object. The actual value of the handle is unimportant to your
program, but the Windows module that gives your program the handle knows how to use it to
reference the object.
5.
How will you display the window? (APRIL 2007)

i. After the CreateWindow call returns, the window has been created internally
in Windows. Then call the following 2 functions,
a.ShowWindow (hwnd, iCmdShow);
The first argument is the handle to the window just created by CreateWindow.
Win Main.
The second argument is the iCmdShow value passed as a parameter to
.
ii. The ShowWindow function puts the window on the display. If the second
argument to ShowWindow is SW_SHOWNORMAL, the client area of the
window is erased with the background brush specified in the window class.
The function call
b. UpdateWindow (hwnd);
i. It causes the client area to be painted.

VIVA QUESTION AND ANSWER

1. Why we need Visual C++?( A.U.May-2010)
The Visual C++ tools reduce coding drudgery
Graphical User Interface
Using MFC, which simplify and speed development of windows applications.
It includes sophisticated resource editors to design complex dialog boxes, menus,
toolbars, images and many other elements of modern windows applications.
2. What are the applications used in AppWizard? (A.U. May-2012)
a. Single Document Interface
b. Multiple Document Interface
c. Dialog Based
3. How one can add a new menu item in a dialog window?
To create a new menu bar by using resource editor, give the name as newmenu.Open
the dialog window, then select the dialog property window. Now select the menu property,
choose newmenu option.we can construct a CMenu object, use the CMenu::LoadMenu
function to load the menu from the resource, and call the CWnd::SetMenu function to attach
the new menu to the frame window.

1. Differentiate SDI and MDI.
The MFC library supports two distinct application types: Single Document Interface
(SDI) and Multiple Document Interface (MDI). An SDI application has, from the user's point
of view, only one window. If the application depends on disk-file "documents," only one
document can be loaded at a time. The original Windows Notepad is an example of an SDI
application. An MDI application has multiple child windows, each of which corresponds to an
individual document. Microsoft Word is a good example of an MDI application.
What is an MFC? (A.U.APRIL 2007) (A.U. May-2012)
MFC is a Microsoft Foundation Class.
MFC is an object-oriented interface to windows.
MFC encapsulates key windows data structures.
Goal of MFC, facilitating and simplifying the process of programming for Microsoft
windows.
MFC library is a collection of C++ classes, it is provided as a DLL.
What is the purpose of OnUpdate() function?
This virtual function is called by the application framework in response to your
application's call to the CDocument::UpdateAllViews function. Your derived view class's
OnUpdate function accesses the document, gets the document's data, and then updates the view's
data members or controls to reflect the changes.

1. What do you mean by COM?
The Component Object Model (COM) is the foundation of much of the new Microsoft
ActiveX technology. COM is an integral part of Programming Visual C++. COM is an
"industry-standard" software architecture supported by Microsoft, Digital Equipment
Corporation, and many other companies. It's by no means the only standard. Indeed, it
competes directly against other standards, such as CORBA from the Open Software
Foundation (OSF).
2. What are the features of COM?
COM provides a unified, expandable, object-oriented communications protocol for
Windows that already supports the following features:
A standard, language-independent way for a Win32 client EXE to load and call a
Win32 DLL. A general-purpose way for one EXE to control another EXE on the same
computer (the DDE replacement). A replacement for the VBX control, called an ActiveX
control. A powerful new way for application programs to interact with the operating system.
Expansion to accommodate new protocols such as Microsoft's OLE DB database
interface. The distributed COM (DCOM) that allows one EXE to communicate with another
EXE residing on a
different computer, even if the computers use different microprocessor-
chip families.
3. What is a COM Interface?
COM objects have methods. Methods are grouped into interfaces and are called through
interface pointers. Interfaces exist to semantically bind together groups of related
methods.Prefacing interface names with a capital I for Interface is an almost universal COM
programming convention.
Microsoft has predefined more than 100 interfaces that any COM object can support.
These interfaces are called standard interfaces. User-defined interfaces such as IMath and
ISpelling are custom interfaces. COM objects can use standard interfaces, custom interfaces, or
a combination of the two. Every COM object implements an interface named IUnknown.
IUnknown contains just three methods:
QueryInterface - Returns a pointer to another interface, AddRef - Increments the object's
reference count, Release - Decrements the object's reference count

1. What is a DLL?
A DLL is a file on disk (usually with a DLL extension) consisting of global data,
compiled functions, and resources, which become part of your process. It is compiled to load at
a preferred base address, and if there's no conflict with other DLLs, the file gets mapped to the
same virtual address in your process.
The DLL has various exported functions, and the client program (the program that
loaded the DLL in the first place) imports those functions. Windows matches up the imports
and exports when it loads the DLL.
2. How the Client Program Finds a DLL.
If we link explicitly with LoadLibrary, you can specify the DLL's full pathname. If we
don't specify the pathname, or if you link implicitly, Windows follows this search sequence to
locate your DLL:
The directory containing the EXE file
The process's current directory
The Windows system directory
The Windows directory
The directories listed in the path environment variable
Here's a trap you can easily fall into. We build a DLL as one project, copy the DLL file
to the system directory, and then run the DLL from a client program. Next we rebuild the DLL
with some changes, but we forget to copy the DLL file to the system directory. The next time
we run the client program, it loads the old version of the DLL.
3. What are the different types of DLL?
AppWizard lets you build two kinds of DLLs with MFC library support:
a. extension DLLs and
b. regular DLLs.
4. Explain the extension DLL?
An extension DLL dynamically links to the code in the DLL version of the MFC library. An
extension DLL supports a C++ interface. When we build an MFC regular DLL, you can choose
to statically link or dynamically link to the MFC library. If we choose static linking, our DLL
will include a copy of all the MFC library code it needs and will thus be self-contained.

1. Define ODBC?
The Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) standard defines the rules of
SQL grammar and also the C-language programming interface to any SQL database. It's
now possible for a single compiled C or C++ program to access any DBMS that has an
ODBC driver.
2. Explain ODBC architecture.
ODBC's unique DLL-based architecture makes the system fully modular. A small

COleDateTime date(dlg.m_VarValue);
AfxMessageBox(date.Format("%B %d %Y"));
}
CView::OnLButtonDown(nFlags, point);

{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();
m_calendar.SetValue(m_VarValue);
return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
}
void CActiveXDialog::OnNextweek()
{
m_calendar.NextWeek();
}
void CActiveXDialog::OnSelectdate()
{
CDataExchange dx(this,TRUE);
DDX_Text(&dx,IDC_DAY,m_sDay);
DDX_Text(&dx,IDC_MONTH,m_sMonth);

e) Result:

1. What is an ActiveX control?
An ActiveX control is a software module that plugs into your C++ program the same
way a Windows control does. You can consider an ActiveX control to be a child window, just
as an ordinary control is. The most prominent ActiveX Controls features are properties and
56

methods. ActiveX Controls (formerly known as OLE controls or OCXs) are the industrialstrength replacement for VBXs based on Microsoft COM technology. Application developers
in both VB and Visual C++ 6.0 can use ActiveX controls.
2. Give the properties, methods and events in a calendar control.
The MSCal.ocx control is a popular Microsoft ActiveX Calendar control that's probably
already installed and registered on your computer. The Calendar control comes with a help file
that lists the control's properties, methods, and events.

3. How one can create an ActiveX control at runtime.

Insert the component into your project. ClassWizard will create the files for a wrapper
class.
Add an embedded ActiveX control wrapper class data member to your dialog class or
other C++ window class. In embedded C++ object is then constructed and destroyed
along with the window object.
