Obviously you are missing the PSheet point - it is not to be used in Dialog (at least normally). PSheet was designed to be used on itself only, providing general dialog with pages - I guess this is the reason you have problems. If you want to have dialog with pages among other controls, you will have to add it manually by adding tab control and managing tab switches yourself.
I do have a class for this, if someone would be interested I could try to make an article on CP on with it.

Thanks for reply Rose | [Rose]

I was also thinking that property pages are not working because of CDialog; but surprisingly they have. If u have time then please look the above solution provided by "Amir Butt" simply by changing style to "WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT" solved the problem; i.e. embeded propertypages in a dialog where as controls on pages and dialog are working fine.

If u know what magic WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT has done then please describe.

That will be a great greatness.

This Api Will Help you

DWORD GetModuleFileName(
  HMODULE hModule,    // handle to module
  LPTSTR lpFilename,  // path buffer
  DWORD nSize         // size of buffer
);

pass HWND to First parameter.

That won't work. The first parameter is a module handle (an HMODULE), not a window handle (an HWND).

With All Due Respect

we Can Type Cast HMODULE with HWND

like

HWND hWnd=this->m_hWnd;
char Filename[200];
GetModuleFileName((HMODULE)hWnd,Filename,199);

That doesn't change the fact that the underlying object for an HMODULE is a module, and an HWND is a window. If you can get away with the type cast, and Windows returns useful information, that's fine. I wouldn't rely on this working in the future, however. This would be an undocumented behavior for the GetModuleFileName API function.

Why not use the correct function: GetWindowModuleFileName()[^]

Correct me if i am wrong

Both HWND and HMODULE are 32 bit Unsigned Long or DWORD

That's true. In Windows, a handle is a token that is used by to identify a specific object. An HWND therefore identifies a window, while an HMODULE identifies a module. When you pass an HWND when Windows expects an HMODULE, it will attempt to use a window handle to identify a module.

For example, let's suppose that handles are implemented as an index within an array. An HWND with the value of 11 would therefore specify the 11th window in the system. An HMODULE with the value of 11 would specify the 11th module in the system. The two aren't related, and you aren't going to get the results you want.

There's an even more obvious example. Suppose that handles are implemented as pointers to a structure. An HWND would therefore point to a structure that defines a window, while an HMODULE would point to a structure for a module. Passing one for the other would obviously have poor results.

While Window handles aren't implemented this way (as far as I know), you should treat them as opaque entities. This implies that, if an API function calls for a handle of a given type, you will only get the expected behavior if you pass a valid handle of that type. If you use a type cast to force the call to receive a handle of another type, then the results are unpredictable.

you are right about the discussion of HWND and HMODULE. i have got the module name though the GetWindowModuleFileName but it gives the dll file name that explorer.exe is using not the explorer.exe filename.The question is how to get explorer.exe

Exactly where do u calling this GetWindowModuleName() from a DLL or EXE.

If you are calling from DLL:
Use NULL in Place of HWND or Module, which ever you like

char lpFileName[201];
    ::GetModuleFileName(NULL,lpFileName,200);

Sorry Sir Gary, from Next time I will use GetWindowModuleName() api.

Adding Lines to a Dialog box, which has so many button controls

28-Dec-04 18:00

Hello friends ,

I draw the line by setting flags to the Drawline button. the function creates the line but i doesn't view the line when i minimise the dialog box i can able to see the line..after the maximizing the dialog window, I use the Invalidate() function,but it clears all buttons in the dialog box and the line is placed in appropriate position and it blinks..

You have to make a logic to do all above in the OnPaint function that takes care of looks of dialog, doing in OnPaint also solves the problem caused by minimizing the dialog.

Boost regex (regular expressions) problem

czajnick28-Dec-04 13:56

28-Dec-04 13:56

Hello!

This is my first post to this forum and english is not my mother tongue, hope you understand me.

I have the following expression

(?:)?(.+?)(?:)

and the string

test

. I am using regex_search function and the match I get is "test". But the first part of the expression "(?:)?" should be greedy, and the "" at the beginning should not be in the match. Am I right?

How should I write the expression to get "test" without "" as the match?

I want to read a word from a webpage, and this word may be between "" and "", but it doesn't have to. This expression is part of a bigger project (part of a bigger expression).

You can download the source code and exe from here http://www.icpnet.pl/~arekrob/regexp2.rar .

Are there any tools to help writing regular expressions compatible with boost regex library?

Thank you for the answer.

This tool is really good, bo unfortunately it isn't compatible with the library I'm using. It returns "test" as the match, not "test". You can see this in the following picture:

http://www.icpnet.pl/~arekrob/regex1.png

I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and boost regex library as described here http://www.codeproject.com/string/regex__.asp.

Maybe the library has an error? If that's true what other regular expressions libraries would you recommend? I've tried PCRE but I don't know how to use it in MSVC++ 6 (I found no examples on the Internet).

Does Boost support the (?:) syntax? I thought that was a Perl extension. If not, then that's probably throwing off the matching. Try removing the (?:) and see what happens.

Linking problems when using libraries!

Dani10000128-Dec-04 12:59

28-Dec-04 12:59

I have a question about a linker error when including some libraries in my application.

This is what i have done:

First I have compiled the ximage.lib and png.lib as static libraries and I got no errors.

Then I have linked ximage.lib and png.lib to my application.

When I compile the application I get these linker errors:

ximage.lib(ximapng.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _png_read_row referenced in function "public: bool __thiscall CxImagePNG::Decode(class CxFile *)"

The png_read_row function is declared in the png.lib project, so how can I get these errors when both libraries compiled successfully?

Where should I look for the error, in the png.lib, or in the ximage.lib or should I use some magical setting in the application project?

I hope someone can tell me what I am missing!

Thanks, Dani
