I am developing an application which is looking at the process running on the PC. For Explorer.exe I can get the window title, but does anyone know where in the registry, if at all, this title matches up with a folder name.

For example
Title=RandP
CommandLine=C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE

so how do I get at the text in the Address control of Explorer ? does this info get saved/stored in the registry ?

Any help would be much appreciated.

You have to Write Browser Helper Object for Window Explorer!

How about using SetPixel? Use the CClientDC to get your DC set up.

Hi,

You can use SetPixel function for that.

SetPixel(dc,pt.x,pt.y,RGB(255,0,0));

Refer MSDN document for SetPixel..

hi,

i have code that gets pointers to all the open documents (CDocument objects) in the application. i was wondering how i can check if the document is currently closing when i get the pointer to it. any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Hi,

There is no direct mechanism to do this. Create your own class which is derived from CDocument and override this method.

virtual void OnCloseDocument( );

I would suggest to make it by setting a flag, member of CDocument (eg. bool closing), at the beginning of your OnCloseDocument override and unsetting it at the end of the function.

Creating and displaying video stream from raw data

Hi,

I have a stream of data coming in over the USB bus from a device which I have made. The data is basically a colour value for each pixel. I need to display this data in real time.

I'm currently using a double buffering method.I have a bitmap attached to a background DC where I use the MFC CDC::SetPixel command to set each pixel on the bitmap. The bitmap is then stretched using the StretchBlt function and then finally transfered to the foreground DC with BitBlt.

The problem with this method is I'm still getting some flicker even though I'm using a a double buffer. I'm basically trying to look into other methods that may be faster.

I was thinking of using a video streaming class.There is quite a bit of information available for displaying video streams but I'm not sure how to turn my raw data into a standard video stream.

Any help/advice on things to try would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Ryan

Raw Database File Format

I've always been curious about databases in general. I have developed code using ADO, DAO, etc. but if I were to design a database from scratch I wouldn't know from where to start. I am not really planning on designing my own databases but I'd just like to have some basic understanding on how they work. Like what kind of structures would you use, and what kind of file formats, etc. Would anyone be able to provide me with some links or articles that provide simple explanations on databases? I am not looking for advanced concepts. Just the basics, so that I can get some exposure to the file structures. And I am not really willing to read books on the subject. Smile | :)

I have been running searches on Google but I haven't found anything yet.

Child DialogBox (win32) doesn't receive ENTER keyboard input

Hi.

I created a application for which the main window is a modeless dialog.
This dialog has a child modeless dialog wich contains 2 buttons.

I'm able to TAB around the controls, passing from the parent dialog's
control to the child's ones as expected.

However, when the focus is on one of the child buttons and I hit the
ENTER key, it is the parent dialog that receive the WM_COMMAND message.
What is strange is that if I hit SPACE_BAR (wich simulate a mouse
click) instead of ENTER, my child dialog is correctly notified.

Here is my main loop :

while ((bRet = GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0)) != 0)
{
if (bRet == -1)
{
throw runtime_error("Fatal Message Error");
}
else
{
HWND hWnd = GetActiveWindow();
if (!TranslateAccelerator(hWnd, roDatabase.s_hAcceleratorTable,
&msg))
{
if ((hWnd == NULL) || !IsDialogMessage(hWnd, &msg))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
}
}

}

Anyone have had this bug??? Anyone have resolved it???
Thanks.

There is some extra coding that you have to do to make this work with a modeless dialog.

You first need to set a WH_GETMESSAGE hook in the dialogs WndProc for WM_INITDIALOG. You hook proc will look something like this:

LRESULT CALLBACK GetMessageProc( int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam )<br />
{<br />
	LPMSG lpMsg = (LPMSG)lParam;<br />
<br />
	if( (nCode >= 0) && wParam == PM_REMOVE &&<br />
		(lpMsg->message >= WM_KEYFIRST && lpMsg->message <= WM_KEYLAST) )<br />
	{<br />
		if( IsWindow( lpMsg->hwnd ) && IsDialogMessage( g_hWnd, lpMsg ) )<br />
		{<br />
			/*Tell windows to avoid further processing of this message. The IsDialogMessage<br />
			  call will tell windows to convert keyboard accelerators into the correct button<br />
			  commands.*/<br />
			lpMsg->hwnd = NULL;<br />
			lpMsg->message = WM_NULL;<br />
			lpMsg->lParam = 0L;<br />
			lpMsg->wParam = 0;<br />
		}<br />
	}<br />
<br />
	return ( CallNextHookEx( g_hHook, nCode, wParam, lParam ) );<br />
}

I hope this helps.

CRichEditDoc Serialization strangeness

hairy_hats6-Jun-05 2:56

6-Jun-05 2:56

Hi All,

I'm trying to directly extract the RTF portion of a file saved using (in part) CRichEditDoc::Serialize(), by scanning through the file for {\rtf, then copying data until I reach the final }.

I'm finding strange things in the data though - some text blocks are repeated, and I'm wondering if it has saved the data in a partially-edited state, i.e. edits made by the user have been reflected visually in the rich edit view, but haven't actually been fully applied to the underlying RTF text.

Any idea if (1) I'm on the right track, and (2) how to fix the loaded data?

Cheers,

Steve.

Hi,

I am trying to pInvoke a vc++ dll from c#, the c# code
try to pass an integer into the dll and change
the global variable declared in the c++ dll, but it failed.
The global variable (int) changed inside the c++ procedure called by
the c#, but once the program run outside the procedure, the global
variable restore to its original value, why ?
And how can I change the global variable declared in the c++ dll when pinvoke by c# ?

Thanks

Hi..
I am getting the following message everytime i built the exe file..
Sometimes it comes as an error.. After doing "Rebuild All" again it works fine.. What must be the problem?

Linking...
LINK : LNK6004: Debug/PhoneAdapter.exe not found or not built by the last incremental link; performing full link

Its not an error, but information given to you by the linker to say that incremental linking was not possible.
For example, I often the incremental linking option switched on in my project to reduce the time spent on compilation. If I deleted the exe, by moving it to another location, then the linker will have to create the file from scratch.
Nothing to worry about, but you need to understand why it is happening.
