see FindFirstFile and FindNextFile

also, there are a number of classes on this site that encapsulate this operation

here is a C++ wrapper for FindFirstFile/FindNextFile :

but, you can find information about these functions in the MSDN

Can't figure out these compile errors.

I'm making a list of all the available audio decoders in the system by calling acmDriverEnum, but i get some compile errors that i can't figure out how to get rid of, here's the callback prototype:

BOOL ACMDRIVERENUMCB listCallback(HACMDRIVERID hadid, DWORD dwInstance, DWORD fdwSupport);

and here's the callback function (not finished yet, i just want it to compile):

BOOL ACMDRIVERENUMCB listCallback(HACMDRIVERID hadid, DWORD dwInstance, DWORD fdwSupport)
{
	if (fwdSupport == ACMDRIVERDETAILS_SUPPORTF_CODEC)
	{
		ACMDRIVERDETAILS details;

		acmDriverDetails(hadid, &details, 0);
	}

}

these are the compile errors i get:

<br />
e:\mp3organizer\convertaudio\main.h(5) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'listCallback'<br />
e:\mp3organizer\convertaudio\main.h(5) : error C2377: 'ACMDRIVERENUMCB' : redefinition; typedef cannot be overloaded with any other symbol<br />
        e:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\msacm.h(250) : see declaration of 'ACMDRIVERENUMCB'<br />
e:\mp3organizer\convertaudio\main.h(5) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found<br />

All help appreciated, thankyou.

Without taking a look at the code in MSDN or windows headers, I assume that ACMDRIVEREENUMCB is the typedef for the callback function type. (The type for a pointer to the callback function.)

Try BOOL WINAPI myCallback (HACMDRIVERID hadid, DWORD dwInstance, DWORD fdwSupport) instead of.

how to simulate key stroke to directx application?

David High9-Aug-02 5:59

David High

9-Aug-02 5:59

I need to send key strokes to another process, which is a directx exculsion mode program.

I have tried use keybd_event but only the first time is successful. So I guess maybe it will need another way to send keyboard data to the application, maybe fill the keyboard's buffer directly? or something else.

I'm keen to find out the solution. If you have any comment or suggestion, please let me know.

My mail is davihigh@yahoo.com.cn

Thank you!

Are you sending both the key down and key up events?

Because if you are only sending the down event and the DirectX application that you are trying to feed looks at the KeyUp events as well then that would explain why only the first event works.

When i differ WS_MAXIMIZEBOX style to "TopMost MDI child window" i give next situation:
When common MDI maximized and i click on "TopMost MDI child window" common MDI window automatic restored size.
How realize this:Common MDI not must restored.

For menu, your only chance is probably owner-drawing. For dropdown list - you'll have to get the listbox (the dropdown portion of combo) and set the font there. AFAIR that combo box gets WM_CTLCOLOR message before dropdown appears - this is your opportunity to get the HWND of listbox.

Donno about the popup menu, but you can just call SetFont() (MFC; straight Win32 is WM_SETFONT) for the drop-down list. If you only want the actual list portion of the drop-down to have a different font, Tomasz's trick will work nicely as well.

How to tell if a PIDL is for a Drive

Jawache9-Aug-02 5:42

Hi,

I have to admit I'm learning Shell Namespaces as I'm going along.

I want to Know how to find out if a PIDL refers to a Drive, the only way I can think of how to do this is to Get the PIDL for MyComputer and Enumerate this then compare all of the SubPIDLS with the PIDL i have.

Is there a simpler method?

Thanks

CListBox scrollbar problem

moobob9-Aug-02 5:15

moobob

9-Aug-02 5:15

I'm having a problem making the horizontal scrollbars appear in a list box in my application. I created it with the dialog editor and have the horizontal & vertical scrollbar boxes checked on the properties dialog. The vertical scrollbar does appear when the enough items are placed in the box. However, the horizontal never appears. i've tried moving controls around to insure their is room for the scroll bars to appear. I've compared the properties to another list box in the application which does display the horiz scroll bars when necessary.

Are there any situations that anyone knows which would cause the scroll bars not to appear in a CListBox?

Thanks in advance,
Bob

AFAIR, horizontal scrollbars work only with multi-column listbox.

If you want to scroll your items horizontally and you have only one column, consider switching to listview control.

You need to call CListBox::SetHorizontalExtent(). The value passed in the arg will cause the horizontal scrollbar to appear if it's more than the current width of the scrollbar.

It's nicer to subclass CListBox and override AddItem(), InsertItem() and DeleteItem() so that they recompute the current max length of the list box's strings and call SetHorizontalExtent()themselves.
