Starting class names with C was dropped? Heh, not by a LONGSHOT. Sure, the standard doesn't use that convention, but MS and others having been using long before STL was a glimmer in people's eyes.

And yes, dropping the capitial C from the start of the file name is a ... feature. Annoying if that isn't want you want. However, when creating a new class, you can specify the file names.

Points to pixels?

15-Feb-02 18:37

What is the best way to convert

1. points to pixels?

2. cm to pixels?

Re: Points to pixels?

explanation in MFC, and from memory. take with large pinch of salt
Given a CDC* pDC, an integer specifying points pt, and another integer specifying centimeters cm:

points to pixels
- 1pt = 1/72in
- 1in = 2.54cm
- 1cm = 1000 HIMETRIC units (HIMETRIC = .01mm)
- convert HIMETRIC to pixels using pDC->HIMETRICtoDP()
- so, the conversion would go like this:
```
int px = pt*2540/72;
CSize size(px,px);
pDC->HIMETRICtoDP(&size);
```

cm to pixels (explained above already)

int px = cm*1000;
CSize size(px,px);
pDC->HIMETRICtoDP(&size);

*** note: see documentation for HIMETRICtoDP: in MM_TEXT mapping mode, the measurements gained from this only reflect physical measurements when the ratio of logical coordinates to physical coordinates is 1/1. Not sure when this would matter though.

Just kidding...

I think your referring to IWebBrowser2, C is for classes I is for Interfaces...slight difference. Big Grin | :-D

Anywho...

You have to implement IDocHostUIHandler::ShowContextMenu

By returning S_OK you prevent IE (webbrowser control) from displaying it's default menu. returning S_FALSE allows default behavior.

Basically I think you'd just do your stuff (create menu) and return S_OK

Can I declare a static member in a base class?

nay15-Feb-02 17:04

nay

15-Feb-02 17:04

Ok. I'm writing a 2 pass assembler (for a class). Here's an annotated version of the base class...

class Asm
{
public:
    Asm();
    ~Asm();
protected:
    static HashTable symbolTable;
};

When I derive a class from Asm I get a linking error telling me that HashTable is unresolve. If I remove the static keyword it links fine.
1. So I'm guessing I can't have a static member in a base class because theres a possibility that the bass class will never be created. Is that right?
2. If this is the case then how do I share the symbol table between my derived classes, Pass1 and Pass2?

You have to initialize the HashTable just after your class definition by invoking its constructor maybe like

HashTable Asm::symbolTable();

This will be shared by all the instances of your Asm object.

Hi.

I started an MFC sample program that Prosise include in his book. I would like to save the source code, but not the enter project. Note that I started the project using AppWizard.

What files do I have to save from the project so I can always open that project up again? Do I have to save the entire probject including Debug? I have not save and/or remove any files yet because I do not work to lose any resource files.

Thanks,

Converting Visual C++ 4.2 to VC++6.0

The boolean variable in 4.2 is an integer(4 bytes)while
on 6.0 it is a character. If I have files stored on VC++ 4.2 and I want to retreive them with a version compiled on 6.0 Wouldn't I have a problem? Did microd=soft take care of this problem somehow?

Yep, you should defintely experience problems. A quick-n-dirty workaround is to define bool to int in your stdafx.h.

#define bool int

DLL Function in VB

Hey, I've created an ATL object in a .dll, and i am trying to call the function dynamically. How do i need to setup my functions to get them to not give back crappy values (my BSTR="?????????????????????????????")

i tried __stdcall or _export but nothing is working. i also have "ByVal" for the parameter in my function definition in the VB section.

Is the ATL object a COM object, if so then you simply need to declare your class inside of the type library that is created in your idl file of your project.

Then you can go to the Project | references menu item in your VB project in order to reference your COM object. From there you can use that object in VB just like any other object.

If you are actually exporting an object like you say rather than a function, you would need to instantiate an instance of this object before it can be used, and I do not know of a way to use a C++ object in VB except through COM. If this is what is happening, I am surprised that your program is not crashing.

Don't get WM_COPY in my class?

15-Feb-02 9:33

Hi,
I have a CListBox derived class. I created a context menu which sends a WM_COPY message. I handle this message and copy stuff to clipboard, works fine.

How can I add a CTRL+C key functionality to my class? Pointing me to the right direction would be fine! Well, do I need to create this WM_COPY message by myself (via PreTranslateMessage()) or do I request it somehow?

Thx, Moak

PS: Btw, what is the difference between using ON_MESSAGE() macro or ON_COMMAND() in the MESSAGE_MAP?

Re: Don't get WM_COPY in my class?

This can be done with a type of resources called accelerators. Go to the resource editor and create a new "Accelerator" object. From here on everything should be clear enough.

As for the difference between ON_MESSAGE and ON_COMMAND, the latter is provided to deal with the special message WM_COMMAND, which can be regarded as comprising many "submessages" (one for each command identifier).

Re: Don't get WM_COPY in my class?

15-Feb-02 10:07

Thx, will do!

I just wonder that my CEdit control gets a WM_COPY message, while my CListBox does not (I used the C++ spy to trace messages). Well, is there something special on a edit control that it gets a WM_COPY "for free"? Smile | :)

I would like to generate those standard "accelerators" dynamically... I mean when I use a instance of my CListBox class it should automatically handle CTRL+C and not rely on a manual resource entry. Comfort is what I seek.

I see. Well, then maybe accelerators are not the best solution. Another solution that does not require the user of your class to do any extra work is: handle WM_KEYDOWN, check for the CTRL+C code and send the WM_COPY command when appropriate.
As for the code for CTRL-C, I don't know it right off the top of my hat, but you can just write some OutputDebugString or something in your OnKeyDown to find it out.
