Subject: MSLU Sample!
(Originally posted 10/11/01)
If you are using the Microsoft Layer for Unicode on Windows 95/98/Me Systems
(MSLU)
you might want a sample C/C++ project that you can look at to see how things work. This
is just such a sample!
Steps to take the OCLIENT sample from MSDN and convert it to use MSLU. First grab the
OCLIENT project files, available in MSDN:
OCLIENT project download
Note that I am not providing the actual sample, I am giving the steps I used to integrate
MSLU and the one source file that shows how to do things like function overrides and the MSLU
loader override.
Here are the steps I used for the conversion:
Project Settings (you can select both Unicode projects (UniDebug and UniRel) or do them one
at a time, makes no difference):
General: Microsoft Foundation Classes --> Use MFC in a Static Library
Link: Replace the "Object/library modules" line that is there with the following:
/nod:kernel32.lib /nod:advapi32.lib /nod:user32.lib /nod:gdi32.lib /nod:shell32.lib /nod:comdlg32.lib
/nod:version.lib /nod:mpr.lib /nod:rasapi32.lib /nod:winmm.lib /nod:winspool.lib /nod:vfw32.lib
/nod:secur32.lib /nod:oleacc.lib /nod:oledlg.lib /nod:sensapi.lib unicows.lib kernel32.lib gdi32.lib
user32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib oledlg.lib shell32.lib uuid.lib comctl32.lib comdlg32.lib
advapi32.lib winspool.lib - Add the attached file
mslu.cpp to the project, which includes the following functions:
LoadMSLU --> overrides the MSLU Loader, reading the location from the registry value MsluLocation from
the regkey "Software\\My Company", on failure it exits -- this avoids the nasty crash bug that occurs in MFC if all
string functions start failing (idea inspired by Rick Cameron -- thanks, Rick!). UserOleUIAddVerbMenuW --> Overrides the MSLU stub function OleUIAddVerbMenuW UserOleUIInsertObjectW --> Overrides the MSLU stub function OleUIInsertObjectW
And now, you're done!
