I guess you have to handle it separately for every window by handling WM_CTLCOLOR.

You can use o WM_CTLCOLOR however you can use of WM_PAINT or WM_ERASEBK...

Re: XML stream to send data

1-Jun-08 20:19

Hi all,

I want to write a xml file to send some data. What I tried is write data to a temporary file, then attach it to a buffer and do the processing.

long CCreateXML::CInitialElements(void)
{
	TCHAR szTempFile[MAX_PATH];
	HRESULT hr;
    CComPtr<istream> pOutFileStream;
	//CComPtr<ixmlwriteroutput> pWriterOutput;
    //CComPtr<ixmlwriter> pWriter;

	if(!::GetTempFileName("C:\\", "rf", 0, szTempFile))
	{
		return -1;
	}

	if(FAILED(hr = SHCreateStreamOnFile(szTempFile, STGM_CREATE | STGM_WRITE, &pOutFileStream)))
	{
		return -1;
	}

	return 0;
}
</ixmlwriter></ixmlwriteroutput></istream>

Providing the exact error message would be helpful Smile | :)

I would guess your project needs to link to shlwapi.lib to use
SHCreateStreamOnFile().

Problem with PeekMessage MFC application

Does here[^] and here[^] helpful?

In my simple MFC application, there are two controls, one button and multi lien edit box

The event handler of the button will do the parsing of some files(aboutt 100 files) which may take about 10 minutes to complete. And during the parsing time, I want to list the file name which being parsed in the edit box which is being created with ‘multiline’, automatic horizontal and vertical scroll bar options.

It is working well.

I also like to have the option that the user can operate the UI while the parsing is in progress, for that, I added the following code fragment in the file parsing ‘for’ loop in the event handler of button.

MSG msg;
while(::PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0,0, PM_REMOVE))
{
::TranslateMessage(&msg);
::DispatchMessage(&msg);
}

Still every thing is working fine, except that when I click on the vertical scroll button(this scroll bar comes when the items can not be accommodate in the edit box) of the edit box, PeekMessage became in a waiting state and can get the message only after the left mouse button is realese for the scroll bar. During the waiting time of PeekMessage the file parsing is paused. I want to solve this issue such that parsing is performed even when the user operate on the Vertical scroll bar of the edit box.

The event handler of the button look like :

void CMyDlg::OnBnParseFiles()
{
for(int nFileIndex = 0; nFileIndex < 1000; ++nFileIndex)
{

//Perform the parsing on the file with the specified index
PerformFileParsing(nFileIndex);

//Upadate the list of parsed files in the Edit control
UpdateEdit();

MSG msg;
while(::PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0,0, PM_REMOVE))
{
::TranslateMessage(&msg);
::DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
}

}

Plese help me if any one any idea
Thanks
Prasanth

A better design would be to do your parsing loop in a separate thread.

It sounds like when the scrollbar gets the mouse down message it enters a
modal loop until the button is released, so there's no (easy, anyway) way
to continue your loop on the same thread.

Hi,

I have a class which is derived from CObject. Now i want to add print support for this class. Hos is it possible? Is there anyway.

Thanks,

To Use MFC Printing support i guess your class should be derived from CView.

The problem is it is legacy graphic custom control developed in VC++ derived from MFC. Now i have to add print support for this. I am searching in google. but so far i am unlucky. Is there anyway to add print support.

Regards, Eswari

May be you can add a wrapper/container class to your control which you can derive from CView and add printing support to it.

Sandip.

Hi all,

I have a DWORD variable like this,

DWORD value = 0;

After checking a condition, I want to set all bits to 1. If I do this,

DWORD value = 0xffffffff;

is that ok?

I appreciate your help all the time...

Since DWORD is unsigned long, assigning -1 will do the trick.

DWORD value = -1;

There is nothing wrong, but instead of hardcoding, you can use constants such as MAXDWORD which is defined in winnt.h or ULONG_MAX which is defined in limits.h. That will be more safe.
