You've stepped through it in the debugger?

Hi,
I am using Visual C++ version 6.0. I created a dialog based application using the MFC app wizard. Using the resource editor I placed a Tab Control in the dialog box and used the class wizard to give a variable name to the control. I can run the application and create the tab control with the tab text of my coice on the five tabs that I have. It seems I can select each tab. Where I am falling short is how to put other controls into each pane. I can only access and look at the properties for IDD_TAB1. How do I access the other panes and how do I put controls into the panes? If I try to put a control into IDD_TAB1 it is simply put "behind" the tab control as part of the dialog box.
Thanks,
Buck

This is where Windows .RC files let the team down - They don't support a hierarchy of windows so there is no direct way to place windows on (should I say in) the tab control. I create the tab contents programmatically and place it in the tab control. The contents is often a single control or perhaps a modeless dialog.

you can place the control in a separate dialog box.
then put the dialog box as a whole on the tab pane.

Didn't I say that? ("or perhaps a modeless dialog").

Sorry for being misplaced the reply,
actually I should reply to the questions but by mistake I did it to you.
Sorry.

Hi All,
I have discovered that when I convert a BSTR to both VT_I4 or VT_BOOL format
with VariantChangeType, a second thread appears in my application, and in
most cases simply sits in the background suspended. If I try to context
switch to that thread through the debugger and watch where it goes, my
connection to the debugger is lost and I must warmboot my device.
If I use VariantChangeType to convert from a long to a BSTR, this errent
thread does not appear.
One final note, when the program shuts down with this errent thread, an
exception is thrown, invalid access, probably because of that other thread.
Has anyone run into this, or is there any information on what is going on,
or how a developer is supposed to work around this?
Here is the code for this program to test this problem.
Thanks
-----------------------------------------------
#include <windows.h>
//C: Link in the library that contains the Variant functions.
#pragma comment(linker, "/defaultlib:oleaut32.lib")
int WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPTSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
{
//C: Initialize the variant object.
VARIANT v;
::VariantInit(&v);
//C: Test the different conversions independantly.
#ifdef BSTR_TEST
v.vt = VT_I4;
v.lVal = -1;
::VariantChangeType(&v, &v, 0, VT_BSTR);
BSTR bstr = v.bstrVal;
//C: No extra thread, PASSES.
#elif defined(LONG_TEST)
v.vt = VT_BSTR;
v.bstrVal = ::SysAllocString(L"-1");
::VariantChangeType(&v, &v, 0, VT_I4);
long l = v.lVal;
//C: At this point a second thread will have been created. FAILS
#else
v.vt = VT_BSTR;
v.bstrVal = ::SysAllocString(L"-1");
::VariantChangeType(&v, &v, 0, VT_BOOL);
VARIANT_BOOL b = v.boolVal;
//C: At this point a second thread will have been created. FAILS
#endif
//C: Free resources.
::VariantClear(&v);
return 0;
}
//C: If the second thread is created, when the program exits, an exception
is thrown.

Hi,
I am trying to the device manager refresh in win32.
How to do that. Thanks.

WM_DEVICECHANGE
The WM_DEVICECHANGE device message notifies an application of a change to the hardware configuration of a device or the computer.
A window receives this message through its WindowProc function.

But that's not I want. I am not plugging in any devices to watch for WM_DEVICECHANGE message. I just want to force a device manager refresh ( just as we do manually in the control panel-device manager-scan for hardware changes but programatically)

Yeah, so send it a WM_DEVICECHANGE message - it will catch it and think something has changed, so will refresh.

Hi!
Here's what I have:
HWND window = GetDlgItem(hDlg, IDC_TREE);
TVINSERTSTRUCT tvInsert;
tvInsert.item.mask = TVIF_TEXT;
tvInsert.item.pszText = _T("Parent");
HTREEITEM hTreeItem = (HTREEITEM)SendMessage(window,TVM_INSERTITEM,0,(LPARAM) (LPTVINSERTSTRUCT) &tvInsert);
SendMessage(window,TVM_INSERTITEM,0,(LPARAM) (LPTVINSERTSTRUCT) &tvInsert);
tvInsert.hParent = hTreeItem;
tvInsert.item.pszText = _T("Child");
SendMessage(window,TVM_INSERTITEM,0,(LPARAM) (LPTVINSERTSTRUCT) &tvInsert);
SendMessage(window,TVM_EXPAND, (WPARAM)(UINT)TVE_EXPAND,(LPARAM) (HTREEITEM) &hTreeItem);
BUuuuut.. the tree doesn't expand for some reason. I've tried collapsing it first then expanding, same thing, it just won't expand.

This line is wrong, it should read:
SendMessage(window, TVM_EXPAND, TVE_EXPAND, reinterpret_cast<LPARAM>(hTreeItem));
In particular you have a "&hTreeItem" where you should have just a "hTreeItem". I couldn't resist removing the old style C casts and replacing them with function style casts (which IMHO should be used in practically all new C++ code).

Is there a specific size for the elements in a 2 dimentional array .
I mean can I use an array with this matrix [100][5] or No .
|
|
|
|

If I understand your question correctly the answer is yes. All elements in any array are the same size. Accessing a 2 dimensional array as you described is simply a matter of indexing it properly. Assuming you've declared your array as:
int nArray[100][5];
You could assign x to any element in the array with any of the following methods:
<br />
int i, j, x;<br />
<br />
x = nArray[75][4];<br />
for(i=0; i<100; i++)<br />
{<br />
for(j=0; j<5; j++)<br />
{<br />
x = nArray[i][j];<br />
}<br />
}<br />
However, unlike in BASIC you can't access element nArray[100][5]. Array access is always zero relative.
Hope this helps...

I have a list control and I want to add functionality to select an item by the key cobination entered similar to windows explorer & outlook. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

I need to gray-out an Edit Box, Pushbutton and Check Box.
I know how to show and hide it with ShowWindow()
GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTT_testupload)->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
but how do I gray it out so that it is inactive but
still gray-visible to the User?
VC++ 6.0
Many thanks,
Robert
