Okay, so here's my rather ugly and stupid work-around.
Create my frame window in my OnInitDialog but turn off the visible bit in the flag.
Now whenever I want to bring up the framewindow with my custom view I do a ShowWindow with SW_SHOW
Of course now I have to override WM_CLOSE in the framewindow and instread of actually closin it I hide it
And I dont have to bother about a leak because the framewindoiw is destroyed when the dialog is closed because the framewindow's parent is set to the dialog CWnd
Cool, eh?
Regards
Nish
p.s. I know this sounds really silly and ugly, hey that rhymes, silly, ugly , well coming back to what I was saying, I dont have any other smarter ideas!!!

Does one exist without #including <windows.h> and using Sleep()?

Are you asking for a portable solution or what is your problem with using just Sleep()

I take it there is no such function, and there is no problem really except compiling takes 10 times longer when not using precompiled headers.

Oh the compiling time - I see.
You could decrease it a lot by defining some symbols to exclude rarly used stuff from the windows headers:
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
in front of your #include statement should help a lot.
But of course, you could also take the one-line definition of Sleep out of the header and define it on your own, so you just don't need the header:
extern "C" void Sleep( unsigned int msec );
should do it (don't forget to link against kernel32.lib)

How to distinguish from MO,Zip and Card reader without finding out lable. Because they are the removable device,I have trouble of them.There are the code I worte...
nLength =GetLogicalDriveStrings(MAX_BUFFER, szDrives);
if ( nLength )
{
do
{
strDrive = szDrives + i;
strDrive.MakeUpper();
if ( strDrive[0] >= 'C' )
{
if(GetDriveType(strDrive)==DRIVE_REMOVABLE)
{
if ( SHGetFileInfo ( strDrive, 0, &sfi,sizeof(SHFILEINFO),SHGFI_DISPLAYNAME ))
{
str.Format("%s ",sfi.szDisplayName);
m_name.AddString(str);
}
}
}
i += strDrive.GetLength() + 1;
} while ( !(szDrives[i - 1] == '\0' && szDrives[i]== '\0') );
}
Could you help me?
Thanks a lot.

Does anyone knows , why sometimes fopen failes , but GetLastError returns 0.
And which is more interesting , is although fopen fails , the file actually has been created.?
Thanks.
|
|

|

I don't think fopen sets the last error code on failure - GetLastError is a Win32 thing, whereas fopen is part of the C run-time library.
Don't know why the second bit should happen - it always helps to look at the source for the library (although you may not have it installed).

Try to use CreateFile and then GetLastError.

I want list the windows controls in a selection region. Is it possible? How?
Here I am going to draw a rectangle in any region of window.
VIKS

Yep. No problem
Just
1st) enumerate all windows in system (EnumWindows, or, much eaier in case of ONE target window - EnumChildWindows)
2st) determine if they do have target window (one, or did i mis anything?) like
BOOL CALLBACK EnumChildProc(HWND hWnd, LPARAM lParam)
{
CMyDlg *pDlg = (CMyDlg*)(AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd);
HWND hTempWnd = hWnd;
while (hTempWnd != NULL && pDlg->IsTargetWnd(hTempWnd ))
hTempWnd = ::GetParentWnd(hTempWnd );
if (hTempWnd == NULL)
return TRUE;
...
}
3rd) get their rects with GetWindowRet,
4th) if needed convert them into client coordinates (ClientToScreen & back ScreenToClient)
5th) check if they lay inside traget rect with (IntersectRect and some additional work in case of target rect lays fully inside some controls)
6th) that all falks, like MGM said

I wnat to run another prog. in my prog.
So I need seng messare to the prog.
I have two questions:
1.What's wrong with the following code and How to send message to a check ctrl?
HWND hEditFilter = GetDlgItem(g_hExefile, ID_CHECK_EDIT); // return NULL???
// g_hExefile is the handle of another prog's dialog.
PostMessage(g_hExefile, BM_SETCHECK, ID_CHECK_EDIT, 0); // no respond
// I want to set the check ctrl in FALSE state.
2.How to send message to a commom dialog(like OK button)?
Thanks.
No pains, no gains.

Heare are the steps and code to send messages to another program.
1. Remember that on Windows all are windows, so you need to get a HWND to your target window.
2. With the target HWND you call GetDlgItem to retrieve a handlw to window control.
3. Send the message to the window´s control directly.
code:
// buffer to get the target caption window returned by
// GetWindowText
char szWindowName[60];
CString szTargetWindowName = "MyApp"; // Target window
int nFound;
int nLength = strlen(szTargetWindowName);
HWND hSearchHandle;
//Search around our "MyApp"
for(hSearchHandle=::GetWindow(::GetDesktopWindow(),GW_CHILD);hSearchHandle; hSearchHandle = ::GetWindow(hSearchHandle, GW_HWNDNEXT))
{
::GetWindowText(hSearchHandle, szWindowName, 20);
szWindowName[nLength] = '\0';
nFound = lstrcmpi(szWindowName,szTargetWindowName);
if(nFound == 0)
{
CWnd pCwnd;
// WPARAM 1: Check, 0: uncheck
::SendMessage(::GetDlgItem(hSearchHandle,<put heare="" your="" control="" id="">, BM_SETCHECK,1,0);
}
}
if you have any problem with the code above contact me .
Asta la vista.

Thanks for giving me help.
I think the code may has some problem.(I didn't test it yet.)
I want to send BM_SETCHECK message to an edit(ID = ID_EDIT_START) and your code showed that you send BM_SETCHECK message to main window. It won't work.
So I need to get the edit control's handle (It's where my problem really exists, I can't get the handle). By the way, the external dialog program has several edit controls.
Thanks again.

I made a mistake with the former reply.
I tried this:
::SendMessage(::GetDlgItem(hSearchHandle, ID_EDIT_START), BM_SETCHECK, 1, 0);
No response at all.
I have solved it in another way.
My question has a little change.
How to get a special edit control in a dialog program's handle?
Could you help me?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
BM_SETCHECK works only to checkbox buttons!!
Talk more about your last question!

Thank you.
I want to run another dialog program. It has several edit controls. I want to fill the edit controls automatically, which requests send message to the edit control.
I tried several ways, but I couldn't the handle of the edit control.
The following is my code.
HWND h = ::GetDlgItem(hDlg, ID_EDIT_START); // hDlg is the handle of the dialog.
h return NULL.
Could you tell me what's wrong? How can I perform that?

Hello,
How you get the handle to dialog? did you use the GetWindow methode described in the firts posts?
To get the handle to another app(eg your another dialog app) you have to search for window´s caption and compare with your target window´s caption.
Once you have the window´s handle you can call GetDlgItem to retrieve a handle to dialog items.
I can send you two tests apps that explain it better.

I can get the handle of the dialog and the ID of the edit control.
But the edit control only has ID, not caption.
I do use GetWindow() to enumerate the desktop windows. It's a good way that can replace FindWindow function. My problem is I don't know how to use ID of the control to get the handle. I tried several functions, as GetDlgItem, GetDlgCtlID,...
Could you give me further information?
Thanks a lot.
