"Untitled" is not the name of your application. What you are referring to is the caption text. You did not indicate on which side of the '-' you wanted to change, so my suggestion is for the right side. The preferred method is to change IDR_MAINFRAME in the string resource table.

You set it with CDocument::SetTitle().

Normaly - loading a Document automagically changes the Document title to "DocumentName - ProjectName"

That is true.
I was under the impression that he was unhappy with the "Untitled-" part of what he thought was the name of his EXE.
But you are right - he might have wanted to change something different.

Which the OP was not wanting to do. He clearly wanted to alter the caption. He just failed to indicate which part.

I read a quote someplace that so eloquently stated such. Something about most problems being solved by simply asking the right question.

Sure.
But on the other hand, can I be expected activly get the information the asker should have provided in the first place.

Far too much people use this forum as an excuse for not googleing (or even not thinking). And while I not know about the OP of this thread, I have long since switched to a "guilty until proven innocent" mode.

The name of the exe file generated is set by the linker:
Project Properties - "Linker" - "General" - "Output File"

This defaults to "Projectname.exe"

How to identify image in ListCtrl

Hi All,

I used customized ListCtrl in my application. I derived class from CListCtrl clas. I add JPEG images in ListCtrl now i want to check that which JPEG image is selected by the user. I use following code but it does not return me image path or image name.

void
CSelectBusCategory::OnSelectItemFromList(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{

int nItem,nSubItem,nLen;

NM_LISTVIEW* pNMListView = (NM_LISTVIEW*)pNMHDR;

*pResult = 0;

// CString strJPEGFileName = mWebPagePrvListCtrl.GetItemText(pNMListView->iItem,pNMListView->iSubItem);

// MessageBox(strJPEGFileName);

}

Is there any other code to retrive path of JPEG image

Thanks in Advance

Store that information by calling SetItemData() for each image added to the control. Then when you are responding to an image selection, call GetItemData().

Thanks for reply,

If I use SetItemData() function it takes 2 parameter 1)index 2) 32 bit DWORD value. I can pass index but what value should i pass to DWORD parameter.

Plz reply to this question.

Thanks in Advance

Remember that pointers to memory address are just 32-bit numbers.

char *pszPath = new char[29];
strcpy(pszPath, "c:\\windows\\system32\\calc.exe");
int nIndex = mWebPagePrvListCtrl.InsertItem(...);
mWebPagePrvListCtrl.SetItemData(nIndex, (DWORD) pszPath);

In addition to DavidCrow's reply - if the parameter for SetItemData() is a DWORD_PTR,
use that instead of a DWORD in the cast.

2 windows controls one above the other

prithaa31-Aug-07 2:02

Hello,

I have a childframe derived from CMDIChildWnd on which there are 2 windows controls. One window control is a list box and another is an edit box . The list box is above the edit box.

When I keep the mouse cursor on the list box it appears as if the the mouse cursor is on the edit box and when I click the edit box gets clicked.

How can I bring the list box on the foreground and send the edit box in the background?

You can use m_list.SetWindowPos( &wndTop, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOACTIVATE );

And I expect some painting issues... Smile | :)

m_edit.ModifyStyle( 0, WS_CLIPSIBLINGS ); may solve that issue.

Dont forget to let me know the results... Wink | ;)

I presume the two controls have the same coordinates, and you are swapping between them?

In addition to changing the Z order as NS17 showed you, you should also make the one you're not using disabled,

GetDlgItem (IDC_MYNEGLECTEDCONTROL)->EnableWindow (TRUE / FALSE)

, or the user will end up selecting them using TAB - and they will be very puzzled why the things they are typing don't show up...

Iain.

are you still on about this. your best bet is to get the window sizes and adjust the edit box such that it doesnt overlap the listbox. am I gunna give you the code to do that ? no. GetWindowRect(), GetClientRect(), MapWindowPoints(), SetWindowPos(). Maybe in response to a WM_SIZE message.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
