CTrayNotifyIcon v1.58

Just to let everyone know that v1.58 of CTrayNotifyIcon has been released. Updates for this version include:

• Updated copyright messages.
• If the code detects that MFC is not included in the project, the code uses the standard preprocessor define "_CSTRING_NS" to declare the string class to use rather than explicitly using WTL::CString. Thanks to Krzysztof Suszka for reporting this issue.
• Updated sample app to compile cleanly on VC 2005.
• Addition of a "BOOL bShow" to all the Create methods. This allows you to create an icon without actually showing it. This avoids the flicker which previously occurred if you created the icon and then immediately hid the icon. Thanks to Krzysztof Suszka for providing this suggestion.
• Demo app now initially creates the first icon as hidden for demonstration purposes.
• Added support for NIIF_LARGE_ICON. This Vista only feature allows you to create a large balloon icon.
• Added support for NIF_REALTIME. This Vista only flag allows you to specify not to bother showing the balloon if it is delayed due to the presence of an existing balloon.
• Added support for NOTIFYICONDATA::hBalloonIcon. This Vista only feature allows you to create a user specified balloon icon which is different to the actual tray icon.
• LoadIconResource method now includes support for loading large icons and has been renamed to simply LoadIcon. Also two overridden versions of this method have been provided which allow the hInstance resource ID to be specified to load the icon from.
• Reworked the internal code to CTrayNotifyIcon which detects the shell version.
• Updated the tray icon text in the demo app to better demonstrate the features of the class.
• Updated the WTL sample to be consistent with the MFC sample code
• Updated comments in documentation about usage of the Platform SDK.

CTreeFileCtrl v1.48

Just to let everyone know that v1.48 of CTreeFileCtrl has been released. Updates for this version include:

• Updated comments in documentation about usage of the Platform SDK.
• Internal WM_TREEUPDATE_CHANGE message is now defined as WM_APP instead of WM_USER
• CreateFolder method now takes a second parameter which allows the new child folder name to be set. If you leave this parameter as the default value of _T("") then the new folder name will be created by calling the virtual CreateNewChildFolderName function. This function has also been updated in this release to better encapsulate how a new folder name is created.
• Return value from CreateFolder method is now a HTREEITEM instead of a BOOL
• Reworked the internal logic of CreateFolder method to avoid the need to call the Refresh method. As a result the user experience is much improved due to the elimination of the tree updates.

EnumSerialPorts v1.15

Just to let everyone know that v1.15 of EnumSerialPorts has been released. Updates for this version include:

• Following feedback from John Miles, it looks like my previous change of the 29 January 2007 to use GUID_DEVINTERFACE_COMPORT in the UsingSetupAPI method had the unintended consequence of causing this method not to work on any versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000. What I have now done is reinstate the old mechanism using the name UsingSetupAPI2 so that you can continue to use this approach if you need to support NT 4 and Windows 9x. The new approach of using GUID_DEVINTERFACE_COMPORT has been renamed to UsingSetupAPI1.

CTreeFileCtrl v1.47
