Finding the current active button...

Hi All

Could someone kindly let me know how to identify the currently highlighted (tabbed) button on a modeless dialog before it is pressed? I've looked at GetFocus but that seems to only apply to window focus. (Using MFC)

Thanks

A button is also a window (in fact, every control derives from CWnd so every control is also a window). So GetFocus will work Wink | ;)

Run batch-job from MFC-App without command-window

Snore28-Sep-05 1:25

Dear all,

I wrote an MFC-Application in VC 6.0 which starts a batch-job. When I use
system("start_socet -single data_convert -batch -s C:\\temp\\settings.set");
it all works perfect, but displays me a command-window, every time a new job is started.

In order to avoid the window, I tried it with "CreateProcess" (see code below), but always get back, that the process wasn't able to open a file (MSDN Error-Code Nr. 2)! Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem?
For your info: Start_socet is a MS-DOS Batch-File, data_convert is an executable which cannot be executed stand-allone!

STARTUPINFO siStartupInfo;<br />
PROCESS_INFORMATION piProcessInfo;<br />
memset(&siStartupInfo, 0, sizeof(siStartupInfo));<br />
memset(&piProcessInfo, 0, sizeof(piProcessInfo));<br />
siStartupInfo.cb = sizeof(siStartupInfo);<br />
int rc=CreateProcess(NULL, "start_socet -single data_convert -batch -s C:\\temp\\settings.set", 0, 0, false, CREATE_DEFAULT_ERROR_MODE, 0, 0, &siStartupInfo, &piProcessInfo);<br />
DWORD error=GetLastError();<br />

Best regards

You could read the batch file,
then pass the things written there to ShellExecute()

Which file is unable to be opened, start_socet or settings.set?

Have you considered fully-qualifying the application name (e.g., c:\\some_path\\start_socet.exe)?

Just an idea, you might be able to use _popen()?

FILE *_popen( const char *command, const char *mode );

I'm not sure if it opens a command window or not. Or if has the capabilities to execute a batch file.

But it could be worth checking up.

Hello guys,
thanks for your hints!
I tried _popen but id didn't work! The perfect solution was to fully qualify the application name, which is a surprise to me, but it works! Thanks a lot David! Smile | :)

Here's the code:

	int rc=CreateProcess(NULL, "start_socet.bat -single data_convert.exe -batch -s C:\\settings.set", 0, 0, false, CREATE_NO_WINDOW, 0, 0, &siStartupInfo, &piProcessInfo);

And for those who didn't know: There's a flag "CREATE_NO_WINDOW", which is only documented in MSDN online and hides the console-window in a very easy way (but not for Windows Me/98/95)!

Yes of course ! If you create your class with ClassWizzard, you have a ComboBox in which you can choose 'Generic class' (or something like that Wink | ;)

)

No, if you chose generic class and do not specify a base class, then you will not derive your class from any other class. Good Luck.

change row height in ListCtrl report style

Hi,
I've been trying to change the row height for my ListCtrl without luck. It does change when I increase the font size, but I want to keep the same font and just increase the row size. I've searched the codeproject but all I can find are articles on how to do this for a List View Control.

Thanks...

Re: change row height in ListCtrl report style

you need to handle ON_WM_MEASUREITEM_REFLECT (reflection).
Override

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyCtrl, CListCtrl)
	//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CMyCtrl)
	ON_WM_MEASUREITEM_REFLECT()
	//}}AFX_MSG_MAP
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

void CMycntrol::MeasureItem(LPMEASUREITEMSTRUCT lpMeasureItemStruct) 
{
lpMeasureItemStruct->itemHeight=20;
}

Wasn’t even looking for this but I have always wondered if I could change the height of a list control (without changing the font size). Now I know.

Thanks

FlexGrid

Mike Winter28-Sep-05 0:46

I have a FlexGrid control in my dialog box, with the first row and column fixed. When I click on either the first row or column, the whole row (or column) is highlighted, with the first entry in the grid NOT highlighted. Is there any way to turn this off, so that the whole row is highlighted?

What I am actually doing is when column 2 is clicked on, a control is displayed to allow data entry. When column 1 is clicked, I want to select the whole row (which is happening), but the column 2 data entry control is also being displayed - how can I stop this happening?

Thanks for any help - hope you excuse my newbieness!

create a class that inherits from CDialogBox, then call this in your code :

CMyDialog dlg;
dlg.DoModal();

You mean CDialog and not CDialogBox (class CDialogBox doesn't exist).

The easiest way is to create a dialog box resource in the resource editor and then open ClassWizard (while the focus is on your dialog resource). It will ask you if you want to create a new class for this resource. Say yes and fill all what is required for you. That's it.
But your question is really vague, so if you want more specific answers, ask specific questions.

Hide Mouse Cursor ?

Amarelia28-Sep-05 0:19

Hi
I have a dialog based MFC application in which I have one Microsoft Web Browser ActiveX control and I navigate sites using it.

Now I want to programm is such that when I press function key "F3", it should hide my cursor and when next time I press "F3" it should show my cursor back.

Now to capture key press event i use PreTranslateMeaasge() function and in that I get VK_F3 as virtual key code for F3. Now I hide my cursor using ShowCursor(FALSE) or and when again F3 key is press I use ShowCursor(TRUE) to show my cursor back....It hides my cursor when I press F3 key but my problem is : It takes few seconds to hide my cursor and also few more seconds to show after pressing F3. Also if I move my mouse even slight faster, it shows my mouse pointer in between.

I have also put code in WM_MOUSEMOVE message so that when mouse is moved it checks one boolean variable and then shows or hides cursor.....
Still same problem arries....any idea......?

What seems to be the problem....What should I do to overcome this problem ?

Thanking you
