Re: Problem with loading resources at runtime

This sounds very similar to a problem I had here when ever I added new resources, in the end I went through the app removing any unused resources that they may have been (you can end up with a few when development spans years / multiple developers... sigh)

I don't know what the details of the problem were, but it probably had something to do with running out of resource space Unsure | :~

I've had issues like that when i went through and manually edited the resource.h file.... to fix it, i just cleaned the project and did a rebuild all. i think devstudio just needs a kick to make it use the new constants.
hopefully this fix'll work for you! Big Grin | :-D

Outlook Add-in

20-Jun-02 4:16

Hey, Im having some trouble with capturing some events in an Outlook add-in. I was wondering if anyone had, or could give me an example of how to capture and overide an event such as the "open" event.
Right now I have this...

I derive my class from IDispSimpleEventImpl...

class ATL_NO_VTABLE CDaFun :
public IDispEventSimpleImpl<1,CDaFun,&__uuidof(Outlook::ItemEvents)>

typedef IDispEventSimpleImpl<1, CDaFun, &__uuidof(Outlook::ItemEvents)> ItmEvents;

Then setup a callback...

void __stdcall OnOpenItem(IDispatch* Ctrl, VARIANT_BOOL * CancelDefault);

and then the sinkmap...

SINK_ENTRY_EX(1,__uuidof(Outlook::ItemEvents),0xf003,OnOpenItem)

Now Advising im not sure about. Try to get a pointer to the interface i need. Im not sure if Inspectors is right...

CComQIPtr spApp(Application);
CComQIPtr spInsp;
spInsp = spApp->Inspectors;
ItmEvents::DispEventAdvise((IDispatch*)spInsp,&__uuido(Outlook::ItemEvents));

The advise fails, so im not how to set that up right. Please help

I'm not sure, but shouldn't you be using ReleaseDC on the screen dc returned by GetDC(NULL)?

Any way to intercept WM_SIZING with SDI/MDI application

I need to restrict the resizing of the SDI application.
I tried the method found in
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/mdibackgroundimage.asp
to hook on to WM_SIZING and it worked.
But i was wondering whether there was any other way, any msg i could overload?
tried all the PreTranslateMessage and ProcessMessageFilter message map, but it did'nt work.

This is a slightly modified one from winamp plugin.
very slightly. i just wanted

WNDPROC pfnOldWndProc;

// new one

LRESULT CALLBACK pfnNewWndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)
{
	CRect rect;

	switch (uMsg)	{
	case WM_SIZING :
		if ((wParam==WMSZ_BOTTOMLEFT) || (wParam==WMSZ_BOTTOMRIGHT))
			wParam=WMSZ_BOTTOM;
		else if ((wParam==WMSZ_TOPLEFT) || (wParam==WMSZ_TOPRIGHT))
			wParam=WMSZ_TOP;
		GetWindowRect(hwnd,rect);
		((RECT*)lParam)->left= rect.left;
		((RECT*)lParam)->right = rect.right;
		break;
	}
	return CallWindowProc(pfnOldWndProc, hwnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);

}

and in InitInstance()

HWND hMain = GetActiveWindow();
pfnOldWndProc = (WNDPROC)GetWindowLong(hMain, GWL_WNDPROC);
SetWindowLong(hMain, GWL_WNDPROC, (long)pfnNewWndProc);

Ur Requirement is to limit resizing.

U should go for the message WM_GETMINMAXINFO.

OnGetMinMaxInfo(MINMAXINFO *mmi) message handler, mmi->ptMaxSize, mmi->ptMaxTrackSize, mmi->ptMaxTrackSize are the relevent member to be filled to limit resizing.

mmi->ptMaxTrackSize is SIZE u want to restrict.

I want to use ActiveMovie (ocx) to play mp3 in my program.
I use it as follow:
// CFileDialog dlg(TRUE,"mp3",NULL,OFN_HIDEREADONLY,NULL,NULL);
if(dlg.DoModal ()==IDOK)
{
CString pathname=dlg.GetPathNmae();
m_MusicPlayer.SetAutoStart (TRUE);
m_MusicPlayer.SetFileName( pathname);
}

But every time I open the mp3,the program will exit auotmatically.
I trace the program and found that when the program run to
m_MusicPlayer.SetFileName( pathname);
the program will quit.
I don't what cause this.
And I use Windows Media Play 8!

Thank you for help!

Don't look at me in that way!

VB macros in VC++

20-Jun-02 1:30

Hi.

There are some applications (not only from Microsoft), which allow users to write and execute macros in Visual Basic. I would like to include feature like this in my program written in Visual C++. How to do this? (any source code examples?, URL's to documentation?)

Check out the MSDN documentation for IActiveScript. This is how most apps do it I believe. It requires that you make all your 'scriptable' objects into COM objects. IActiveScript supports JavaScript and VBScript among others (actually it supports whatever script engine you have installed)
Also check out IActiveScriptParse, which is the easiest place to start.

Memory Question....

Christian Graus20-Jun-02 1:16

Christian Graus

20-Jun-02 1:16

I have been using the memory watch window a lot lately when debugging and it leaves a lot to be desired. I'd really like to be able to watch more than one memory location at a time, and to get wide strings displayed properly, because I often look up XML which is in a _bstr_t. So I'd like to write my own memory watching tool to use while debugging. The question is, if I do this, as a seperate process, how can I view memory with impunity and not crash my app from trying to access memory I do not own ? Being able to write to it would be nice, but if all I can do is read, that would cover 99% of what I'd like to achieve.

Any hints ?

Either make a module and recompile the kernel Wink | ;)

or use the IDebugger interface. (I've never used it myself, so an extensive article about it would be appreciated Wink | ;)

With the Debugger object, you can inspect the processes being debugged in Developer Studio.

The Debugger object implements the IDebugger dual interface. Through this interface, add-ins can directly access the members (properties, methods, and events) of this object and can employ early binding to make calls into these members faster at run time.

Add-ins written in Visual C++ can access members of the Debugger object by using the header files in Vc98\Include\objmodel. However, if you use the Developer Studio Add-in Wizard to create an add-in, the wizard automatically includes these header files in your source code.

There are a number of format codes that you can use in the normal watch window which may give you some of what you want.

For instance, if you know the address of a memory block that you want to view (for example, memory at 0x01f0000), you can enter in the watch window something like:

0x01f0000,m

This will display 16 bytes of memory at the location 0x1f0000.

ma = 64 ASCII characters
m = 16 bytes hex, followed by 16 ASCII
mb = 16 bytes hex, followed by 16 ASCII
mw = 8 words
md = 4 double words
mq = 2 quad words
mu = 2-byte characters (unicode)

In addition, su displays a unicode string.

You can get the rest of the watch window or Quick watch codes under "Symbols for Watch Variables"

John

FtpGetFile

Hi all,

I'm using the WinInet api to download a file from an ftp server which works fine. What does not work fine however is that when (for testing purposes) I kill the connection (both data and control channels) or shutdown the server FtpGetFile() does not return an error like it should.

I also tried to use FtpOpenFile() and InternetReadFile(). This method downloads files fine. However it displays the same probs: when i kill the connection, etc InternetReadFile returns TRUE.

In all cases both GetLastError and InternetGetLastResponseInfo are returning 0, i.e. no error.

Is there some way I can detect when a download has failed (either when using FtpGetFile or InternetReadFile) short of writing an ftp client or comparing the file sizes (a very inelegant solution).
