C / C++ / MFC

I hate to state the obvious but it has to be a dependency problem. Either the order of #include files or one (or more) missing include files. Looks like it needs an include with MAPI stuff for a start. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I haven't used wabapi.h Please no bullets... Dead | X|

List of strings

30-Mar-02 7:51

I have to manage a dynamic list of strings (without MFC). Is there a way to do it easily (like CStringList::AddTail and AddHead with MFC) ?

I want to have access to a list of windows class name given by GetWindowClassName.

Thanks

You can use STL? If so, read Christian's articles on vector

Has anyone seen my sig?

Thanks, but I'm not familiar with STL...

It's not possible to do it in Win32 ???

For example, I could have a var like char sStrings[1024], add all string to this var, sperated by ";" and parse it... would it be a good solution ?

Thanks for your help

Actually if the number of strings is gonna be low, then you might as well use an array of strings as in :-

char stringarray[64][256];

This gives you 64 strings each 256 chars long.

Well I've created my own CStringList and CString classes and they're in 'pure Windows'--no MFC. I posted an article called "Multi-threaded file finder class" and they're included in the source for it. You might want to download it and check it out.

By the way, the classes use Unicode, but you could easily convert them to ANSI or TCHAR if you need to.

Hope it helps.

My application is designed to run with at least two monitors. The main application is full screen on the primary display and creates full screen popup windows (without captions/borders) on all secondary displays. I would like to make it so any popup windows on the secondary displays are always on top of my full screen window. That is, any other popup window (from my app or another) is always on top of it. Windows supports "topmost" windows, but it doesn't have a "bottom most" concept. I have tried to subclass the desktop window, but it doesn't work. Right now I am making all of the popup windows my application creates topmost to workaround this, but that doesn't solve the problem with popup windows from other applications.

No, it is software for viewing medical images. The application actually uses all the monitors to display the images! The problem is when the user wants to run other applications at the same time such as Internet Explorer or Word.

MFC SDI Status Text

How do I update the status text on the StatusBar?
Will the process be different, if I have to do it from a worker thread?

No, process is your application which can have many threads, so same process but other thread. I'd suggest to use messages, sending a message to main window (AfxGetMainWnd()) from any location and catch it and change the text in Status bar by using SetMessageText(LPCTSTR) of your frame window.

SendMessage from a worker thread is usually a very bad idea as it can lead to deadlocks. Use PostMessage instead.

The Status Bar is usually updated by CMainFrame::OnUpdateStatusBar() so you shouldn't need to do anything much from your worker thread except set the value of whatever it is you want displayed.

Uhmm, who said to use SendMessage? Yes, right, only PostMessage, though I wasn't clear by writing "send a message"
But this is not a point. I didn't know about any OnUpdateStatusBar, where it is declared? I know some handlers in CHtmlView for status bar though

Sorry, you didn't actually say this. But as soon as I saw "send a message" my brain automatically converted this into SendMessage().

I made a small mistake with OnUpdateStatusBar(). It isn't an MFC function. This is what I do:

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMainFrame, CEDMDIFrameWnd)
//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CMainFrame)
....
ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI_RANGE( ID_INS_OVR_PANE, ID_SB_LAST_PANE, OnUpdateStatusBar )
....

And in the CEDMDIFrameWnd class:

afx_msg void OnUpdateStatusBar( CCmdUI *pCmdUI );
