How about some sample code?

As you probably imagined, ILD works just fine on XP. Are you using the image list with any other controls? I remember it can act funny if you use the image list with a list control and try to use it outside the list control but don't set the shared attribute on the list control.

I am using ImageList_Draw to draw an icon on a menu, in response to DrawItem. I could post a code sample, but it is literally one line of code. Smile | :)

The image list in only used for menus, so it would not be the situation you describe.

As I said, the code works under Win98/ME. Would certain combinations of fStyle not work on certain OSes (so would ILD_TRANSPARENT and ILD_BLEND25 work together on 98 but not at all on XP)? Or are the values different (ie, the value of ILD_TRANSPARENT different for 98 as for XP)??

Also, would there be a difference in the icon index? It obviously works in 98, but under XP, is a different numbering system used? 1-based verses 0-based?

Do NOT EVER EVER EVER hard code your image list indexes. Always use the indexes returned from the ImageList_AddWhatever routine.

Can you verify that images have been added to the image list? What does ImageList_GetImageCount() return?

Well that will teach me for assuming. So now the question is, why would the same code work perfectly when adding images on Win98/ME but not at all on XP? Confused | :confused:

thanks for you help. I suppose i should have checked my self Smile | :)

devstudio6 sub-projects only showing up for "debug" and "release" configs

Speaking as one who's spent half a day re-writing an image loading routine, only to find the bug was mis-matched image sizes... it happens. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

There are a few reasons why adding images would fail; make sure you are initalizing the color, size, max size correcty when you create the image list... try blasting the images to the screen dc as you load them, right before adding them to the image list - this has opened my eyes a couple of times (screen corruption be damned, your debugging!).

I've been banging my head against the wall for the last few hours - just trying to figgure this out Dead | X|

The source I just inherited has 3 configurations "Debug", "Release", and "RegOnlyRelease". I recently imported a sub-project & all was fine - it even showed up in the DevStudio workspace under all active configurations.

The problem, as I just found out, is that the sub-project was ONLY added to "Debug" & "Release" configurations! And not "RegOnlyRelease"!

When I open my DevStudio6 "Project Settings" (Alt+F7), the tree on the left showed the new sub-project ONLY when the "Debug" and/or "Release" configurations are selected. When I switch to "RegOnlyRelease" - the newly imported project disapears!!

Does anyone know how to add this project to my third configuration?

Help?

Look at the configuration options from the menu. Use the add button to create a new RegOnlyRelease based on the Release configuration for the imported sub-project.

Now this will only create a duplication configuration. Any compiler settings changes will have to be made by hand.

GDI+ in ATL Control

pattyweb13-Feb-02 10:39

13-Feb-02 10:39

As soon as I try to link to the gdi+ library and include just one gdi+ variable (thus causing it to actually link in), the ATL full control straight from the wizard stops registering and working. Remove the variable (just a declaration in a never called function), and the control starts working.

I have the gdi+ init calls but they never get called. Seems like as soon as the linker links in gdi+ the whole DLL becomes useless.

Anybody gotten GDI+ working in their ATL ActiveX dll project?

Got the latest SDK.

Need help with Regular expression replace

Hi,

I would like to use regular expression in the replace dialog box.
I would like to replace all the string with form "Handle(WhatEver)" with "Handle_WhatEver" ( notice the ")" at the end is removed ).
As I don't know regexp syntax, I tried a lot of things, but didn't succeed.

Can somebody help me ?

TIA,

Stephane

Search for: Handle(\(.+\))
Replace with: Handle_\1

Replace: Handle(\(.+\))
With: Handle_\1

() = Scope
\( and \) = explicit paranthesis
.+ = One or more of any char, except newline
\1 = The first stored value

Thanks, it's working, but not as I like.
I have the line :

Handle(Map_DoubleMapNodeOfDoubleMapKEYHITEM)():Handle(TCollection_MapNode)() {}

With this expression, it gives :

Handle_Map_DoubleMapNodeOfDoubleMapKEYHITEM)():Handle(TCollection_MapNode)( {}

Of course, it is correct, the strored value is :

Map_DoubleMapNodeOfDoubleMapKEYHITEM)():Handle(TCollection_MapNode)(

But I would like to have :

Handle_Map_DoubleMapNodeOfDoubleMapKEYHITEM():Handle_TCollection_MapNode() {}

It is possible to restrict the search of the value to the first found ")" ?

BTW, where can I get information on regular expressions ?

Thanks,

AfxGetMainWnd() is one way to do it.

something like that :

CWnd* wndParent = AfxGetMainWnd( );

or
// CMainFrame is the derived class.

CMainFrame* frame = ( CMainFrame* )AfxGetMainWnd( );

max.

Is your combo box in your mainframe window? Methinks not. It's probably a child of a form view, no?
