Description

Skillprover UK Ltd are looking for a talented developer who has 5 years+ experience of developing MFC C++ applications. The application the company is looking to develop is a simple custom browser application that will display HTML pages within a single window. There will be a toolbar for search functionality.

The following restrictions will apply:

Developed only in VS6 MFC C++ and NOT DotNet Managed C++.
All code and resources must be handed over at each test release. I will recompile and test.
SDI architecture i.e. single window with a menu and a toolbar.
Should run on all flavours of modern 32 bit windows except Windows 98/95. (ie. no 16 bit extensions)
EITHER WISE OR INSTALLSHIELD are trusted installers not the VS one.
Do not bid if the above requirements cannot be met.

The SDI Window:
-- entitled “Skilprover User Guide & Resources”

The menu:

File
-- Exit

Help
-- Updates
-- About

The toolbar:
-- Search Pages, with a text box (use the binoculars icon)

INSTALLATION

The task is to write a C++ application that will self install when placed onto a CD-ROM and inserted into a computer. During the installation, the installer needs to ask the location to install the application with a default of:

C:Program FilesSkillProver

There are HTML files which I will supply which has to be part of the install distribution and will need to be dumped in the subdirectory HTML under the chosen install path above (you will need to create it)

The installer will put a entry called “Skillprover” in All Programs and within the “Skillprover” entry, a sub entry called “User Guide and Resources”.

The installer will ask if they would like a shortcut to the application on the desktop the icon of which will be the .ICO file supplied.

HELP->UPDATES
This must display a popup window with the WinZip icon above this text.

“You can update help from file SPUGR.zip. Contact your Skillprover representative for the latest self-extracting update. You must extract this to ”

HELP->ABOUT
This must display a popup window with the companies .ICO file above this text:
“This application, icons and logo are the intellectual property and registered trademarks of Skillprover UK Ltd.”

WHEN THE APPLICATION BOOTS UP...
All the code has do is display “setup.htm” in the window from the files I supply and the hyperlinks within the HTML will redisplay in the same window.

SEARCH FUNCTIONALITY
The “binoculars” icon will search for the string listed in the textbox next to it. If there is no text but the icon is clicked, display a suitable error.

The code behind this function must search through all .HTM files containing that string in the /HTML directory created by the installer and display the titles of the files as a list of hyperlinks that can be clicked on. Once a file is clicked on, the file is displayed with the actual search string text highlighted in the file.

WHAT I WILL SUPPLY
1 .ICO file
Many HTML files

THE MOST DIFFICULT BIT
Is the search functionality. Somehow you’ve got to do a directory search and for every file containing string, identify the tag, since this will be displayed as a hyperlink in the window. Once the user has clicked on the hyperlink, the file is displayed with the strings highlighted in reverse video (or fixed color). Messy.

You can use classes if you want, but code must be documented in the source only. Don’t invite us to consider redevelopment in Dot Net or using the VS installer. Thanks.

Remember to make sure there are NO MEMORY LEAKS. This application will potentially be installed on 1500 desktops worldwide. I have several years C++ myself and will be sanctioning the code.

Only bids of around US$700 and below will be considered. More is paid for past credentials.

Good luck.

(look at PM also) Dear Sir, several weeks ago I have finished one very similar product for KOCH Media GmbH. Product is already published. (You may look at www.softunity.de and search ECD008187D product or “KochProfi” text). Really there are about 1500 HTML-files (cooking recipes) in content of that product. Titles of files are collected into “tree-view” control, so user can navigate via this list of files, via cross-links of HTML-files, or with back, forward buttons and history list. There are also several search-functions (text-search also). HTMLs may be ordinal files or may be packed into one composed file for very fast read-access. All HTML-files were programmatically generated from special descriptions were stored into database. But my own libraries permit directly generate HTML-streams for browser (“on-fly”). This may be very useful in your project. Program uses WEBControl that is a part of 32 bit Windows or come with Internet Explorer. I am also familiar with other tasks (Installation, Load Updates, etc.), because I used all of them in other products for KOCH Media. In most cases I also make professional art drawing for projects (first of all – for interface elements). I am interesting in making this project. Best regards, Vladimir

I have already worked on different string searching algorithms like "Boyer-Moore Algorithm (BMA)", (Knuth-Morris-Pratt (KMP)" and some others. I assure you that I will provide you a 100% quality work.
