In my application I wanted to add "e-notes" functionality = the possibility to create/edit/delete the electronical equivalent of the well known Post-It notes.
So, every note is presented as a modeless, scalable note dialog containing one big rich edit control. (besides two static controls for displaying the date/time and the author)
Now, I have two problems with them:
1) I want the content of the rich edit control to be saved whenever the note dialog loses
focus (cf. the notes in Outlook)
But neither the handler function for the WM_KILLFOCUS message for the dialog
nor the handler function for the NM_KILLFOCUS message for the rich edit control
is triggered when e.g. I switch between two notes.
Only when I close the dialog the WM_KILLFOCUS handler function is triggered.
How come? How should I implement the desired behaviour?
2) A typical behaviour of such 'notes' is the possibility to show them 'always on top'.
I know the function to set that:
SetWindowPos(&wndTopMost,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOSIZE|SWP_NOOWNERZORDER);
and it works.
But how do I reset that behaviour WITHOUT influencing the other note dialogs?
e.g. - I have successfully set 4 note dialogs to be always on top
- I choose to reset the behaviour from note 3:
SetWindowPos(&wndBottom,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOSIZE|SWP_NOOWNERZORDER);
- Sometimes all other notes loose their 'always on top' behaviour,
sometimes some of them notes do. The behaviour seems to be unpredictable.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

I was trying to deploy a web service developed using managed C++.
Its nothing but adding two nos.. thought of starting with the simpler one.
However, I have a strange problem. Once after deploying the web service, I was not able to make any changes to my web service. If I add a new function or make some modifications to the function, the compiler refuses to link saying that it couldnt delete the (.pdb) file.
Also complains that some other process may be using the resource.
So, even if i stopped IIS it wouldnt work.
Only way of achieving it is restarting the machine .. 
I tried deleting the .pdb file from the debug directory, but explorer gave me a sharing violation. Since, I have stopped IIS .. i couldnt figure out which process was using the web service. Even closing / reopening the solution did not help.
So, can someone tell me what am i doing wrong ..
Thanks

If you go to sysinternals.com, you can download HandleEx, this will tell you which process has hold of the file. MTS has the same problem..You have to CTRL-ALT-DELETE & kill the exe process to release the resource. The exe process of the web service (IIS).
Hope this helps..
Gerry.

I want to change the text that is displayed in the clock window. I've subclassed the windows and intercepted the WM_SETTEXT message, but the clock cotinues to run like normal, only the name of the windows changes (seen in Spy++).  Can anyone help with this?

If a phone number is dialed and a voice answers, how can my program recognize that it's a voice (and not a busy-signal or a modem signal)?

I'm using DevStudio (old habits die hard  ) to develop Java. An error message from Javac (displayed in the Output window) always has the format:
<fullFilespec>:<lineNumber>: <errorText>
For example:
D:\Foo\Foo.java:55: Unresolved symbol "foobar"
I'd like to be able to open the offending source file and have the cursor positioned at the start of the specified line, when I double click the error message. I understand I'd have to get the text of the line in the Output window, do some minimal parsing and invoke stock macros to open the file and position the cursor. Unfortunately, I'm DevStudio Macro disadvantaged (and generally pretty stupid).
Any help would be appreciated. Thx,

hi ravi,
I do not know macros .. but i know how to go about that in VC++
Actually there are lots of interfaces (a whole lot in VS.NET) available for manipulating the IDE/VStudio environment.
You need to have(query) the following interfaces,
IApplication, IDocument, ITextDocument, ITextSelection
You need to call the Open method of the IDocument interface with the "Text" Option.
It would be something like this,
if(pDocuments)
pDocuments->Open(CComBSTR(strFile), CComVariant("Text"),
CComVariant(VARIANT_FALSE), &p_Document)
For traversing inside the file, you need another interface called ITextDocument, Once you have the interface you can call,
if(pTxtDocuments)
pTxtDocuments->get_Selection(&m_pTxtSelection)
Before this you need initialize the Document context the Text you are going to refer.
Once you got the Text Document right for traversing inside you need to go for another interface called ITextSelection, and call a method inside that called GotoLine
if(pTxtSelection)
pTxtSelection->GoToLine(iLineNo,CComVariant(VARIANT_FALSE))
here FALSE would place the cursor in front of the line .. if you pass TRUE it would select that particular line.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Kannan

How can I read, write , and update information from a database like ACCESS.This may be long to answer but please do your best to at least give me a hint!
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Here's a rather short answer. You can use ADO very easily to do this.
Check out CP for ADO tutorials.

I have slight problem
Ive just made a small program, and I want to distribute it to all of my friends, the problem is it keeps saying on their machines that it needs dlls. They are the MFC**.dll s and im not sure what to do. I could send them all the dlls needed, but this would take ages. Is there anyway I can compile the dlls it requires into the program?

Go into the project settings, and on the first tab, you can select "Use MFC in a static library"

thanks, but there is only one option and that is it "use MFC in shared DLL"
anyone know why?
|

Not all versions of VC have the option to statically link MFC. You can use the Dependency Viewer (in the MSVC program group, in the VC tools subgroup) to see which DLLs your program uses. It will, at the very least, be MFC42.DLL and MSVCRT.DLL, and maybe others depending on what classes you use.

Hi
sure - in your project settings, step 3 of 4, just say that you want to statically link to the MFC library.

Is there a way I could compile them within my exe without using the command in the properties of the project?
I have found the 3 dlls it uses, can I compile these indirectly into the program?
I found this in the MSDN cd:
The simplest and safest approach is to include the localized MFC resources in your application or DLL itself (or its satellite DLL if you are using one). This avoids the problems of installing MFC4xLOC.DLL properly. To do so, you follow the same instructions for the static case given above (setting the RC command line properly to point to the localized resources), except that you must also remove the /D_AFXDLL define that was added by AppWizard. When /D_AFXDLL is defined, AFXRES.H (and the other MFC RC files) don’t actually define any resources (because they will be pulled from the MFC DLLs instead).
(technical note 57)
Im not sure what it means though, could it be usefull to me?
thanks

Why doesn't the following code work?
class abc {
public:
int var;
class xyz {
public:
void func() {
var = 10; // I can't access the variable!
}
};
};
Thanks!
Erik

that doesn't work cause the class xyz is not a child. You say it can't access the parent but abc is not a parent class. what you really have is something like this:
<br />
class xyz<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
void func() { var = 10; }<br />
};<br />
<br />
class abc<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
int var;<br />
xyz m_xyzVariable.<br />
};<br />
What you have is a member variable and not inheritance. What you need is to make class xyz look like this if you want it to be a child.
<br />
<br />
class xyz : public abc<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
void func() { var = 10; }<br />
};<br />
<br />
That should work for you.

I am embarking on a project using WTL/Win32, mainly for the purpose of learning them, and I'm a little stuck.
It's a program designed to read MP3 tags recursively from directories, display the results in a CListCtrl and allow me to edit them. Now, I have a WTL project together, I have a dialog box that shows a CListCtrl and fills it with the appropriate data. My problem is, how do I derive from the list control to alter it's behaviour, and how do I intercept messages sent to the list control ( key down, mouse down, etc. ). I've been looking in AtlCtrls.h, at CListViewCtrlT, which LOOKS like the answer to my prayers, but I can't figure out how to use it.
Thanks

class CMyDialog : CDialogImpl<CMyDialog>
{
protected:
CContainedWindowT<CListViewCtrl> m_listCtrl;
public:
CMyDialog() : m_listCtrl(this, 1) {}
BEGIN_MSG_MAP(CMyDialog)
ALT_MSG_MAP(1)
MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_SETFOCUS, OnSetfocusList)
END_MSG_MAP()
};
To summarize: make a member variable in the dlg to represent the list ctrl. Subclass the list ctrl in OnInitDialog(), then put message handlers for the list in the ALT_MSG_MAP(1) section of the dlg's message map. The sample entry above declares a handler that's called when the list receives a WM_SETFOCUS message.

Thank you SO much. Out of interest, do you find WTL an acceptable alternative for production code, or do you think I'm making the error of a lifetime ?

hmm... good question. I personally would be careful with WTL in production code. You should take a look at the WTL bug list to be sure there isn't anything that would affect your code.

I have a small problem: I tried to do as you suggested, as follows
protected:
CContainedWindowT<clistviewctrl> m_listCtrl;
public:
enum { IDD = IDD_MAINDLG };
BEGIN_MSG_MAP(CMainDlg)
MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_INITDIALOG, OnInitDialog)
MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_SIZE, OnSize)
COMMAND_ID_HANDLER(ID_APP_ABOUT, OnAppAbout)
COMMAND_ID_HANDLER(IDOK, OnOK)
COMMAND_ID_HANDLER(IDCANCEL, OnCancel)
COMMAND_ID_HANDLER(ID_FILE_BROWSE, OnBrowse)
ALT_MSG_MAP(1) // handlers for messages from the list ctrl
MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_LBUTTONDOWN, OnListClick)
END_MSG_MAP()
LRESULT OnListClick(UINT /*uMsg*/, WPARAM /*wParam*/, LPARAM /*lParam*/, BOOL& /*bHandled*/)
{
MessageBox("fdxgdfgdfg");
return 0;
}
then in OnInit
m_listCtrl.Attach(GetDlgItem(IDC_LIST));
I tried using SubclassWindow, but it crashed, as I may expect, because I'm not actually subclassing the window, I just want to catch messages to it. I may well have to subclass it down the track, but for now I just want it to work. Anyhow, m_listCtrl is now a member variable to my listctrl, I have verified this by using it to move the window in OnInit. However, my message is not being called. Can you see what I'm doing wrong ? I don't see how use of the alt map is being specified ?
Thanks
Christian
