Re: Help with Combo boxes Luis E. Cuadrado12-Aug-02 4:25 Luis E. Cuadrado 12-Aug-02 4:25  Hello again: I edit the code. I tried using DDL_READWRITE | DDL_DIRECTORY and using just DDL_DIRECTORY and I wasn't able to see any files in the combo box. I click the little arrow of the combo box and nothing comes down. I wonder if is something related with the combo box. Any property that I have to change or something. What do yo guys think? Thanks for the replies, Luis E. Luis E. Cuadrado ) Re: Help with Combo boxes Tomasz Sowinski12-Aug-02 4:45 Tomasz Sowinski 12-Aug-02 4:45  Your combo may have very small dropdown area. In the resource editor, click on the combo box arrow, then resize the dropdown rectangle. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com What is "scratch" and why can everything be made from it? CWnd::FromHandlePermanent Nish Nishant12-Aug-02 1:39 Nish Nishant 12-Aug-02 1:39  My understanding of CWnd::FromHandlePermanent is this :- If there is an existing CWnd within the current application's heap/stack that currently holds the window with the passed window handle, then CWnd::FromHandlePermanent will return that CWnd*. But unfortunately that's not happening. It does return a permanent CWnd but it's not matching the original CWnd So is my understanding flawed or is this some kinda funny side effect of something else in my code?

FromHandlePermanent doesn't walk the stack or heap. It just checks the permanent map; permanent map gets new entries when you create objects derived from CWnd. It doesn't get updated when you call methods returning temporary CWnd's (like CWnd::FindWindow). Nishant S wrote: It does return a permanent CWnd but it's not matching the original CWnd Can you check the 'original CWnd' in QuickWatch window? Is it CTempWnd object?

Re: CWnd::FromHandlePermanent Neville Franks12-Aug-02 1:58 Neville Franks 12-Aug-02 1:58  Hi Nish, Note that if you are using different threads then you won't see the CWnd* which is in one threads map in the other. Could this be the problem?

Can anyone suggest a good tutorial on this as most stuff on owner draw seems quite advanced. Thanks in advance. Elaine (fluffy tigress emoticon here) Would you like to meet my teddy bear ? Re: Beginners owner draw button Space Ace12-Aug-02 2:59 Space Ace 12-Aug-02 2:59  Well, there is a bit in "Programming VC++ 6.0" (Kruglinski, Wingo, Shepherd), Chapter 11, example 11D. In fact, there is an electronic variant of the book but it's a bit too large (about 11 Mb) Hope this helps. Re: Beginners owner draw button Shog912-Aug-02 7:29 Shog9 12-Aug-02 7:29  There are several nice articles on this site. You probably want to read through a couple of them before you get started, it shouldn't be too bad (most of the pain in doing custom or customized controls is dealing with backwards Windows crap...), so if you hit a specific problem you can always ask here. --- Shog9 If I could sleep forever, I could forget about everything...

I'd create another static method which gets the parameter, stores it in private static member and calls SetWindowsHookEx with address of static hook proc.

Beware of CG, who's going to jump in and tell you that CMapPtrToPtr is a donkey crap and you should use std::map instead If you're going to stick with CMap-based container, consider the typed variants (CTypedMapxxx). Or - you could use thread-local storage, which basically gives you per-thread statics. Check TlsXXX functions or __declspec(thread).

If you need thread safety, you could also use a thread local static class variable to store the instance pointer. Of course, I would recommend to use a super-dooper object-oriented function adapter just as described in my article Use member functions for C-style callbacks and threads - a general solution -- Daniel Lohmann http://www.losoft.de (Hey, this page is worth looking!

Maximilian Hänel introduced me to this technique (which is very similar to what ATL uses) in his WTL port; it uses a template wrapping a few asm instructions & a class pointer to store both along *with* the callback address. --- Shog9 If I could sleep forever, I could forget about everything... pop of the tops Zizilamoroso12-Aug-02 0:41 Zizilamoroso 12-Aug-02 0:41  I'm a bit lost here.

Re: pop of the tops Tomasz Sowinski12-Aug-02 0:45 Tomasz Sowinski 12-Aug-02 0:45  menuPopup.GetSubMenu(0)->TrackPopupMenu(...); This assumes that you want to show the leftmost submenu. Usually there's only one, but some people like to aggregate all right-click popups used in application in one menu resource. You'll find detailed info on TrackPopupMenu arguments in MSDN.
