Derive from CScrollView instead.

You cunningly place your cursor between the C and the View and type S-c-r-o-l-l. Seriously, you just need to derive your existing view from CScrollView instead, which means a few changes in the .h and .cpp file, and it will work. Look up CScrollView in the MSDN, I forget how to set the scrollable area off the top of my head.

XML parser not validating on load

13-Aug-02 3:01

I also use this tricky method before.
But when I execute it, even there is no error and warning are detected.
The program will terminated when I open a new file. I dont know why

THX!!!

I am attempting to load an XML file using the DOMDocument 'load' method of the MSXML parser but it does not seem to be validating the file against the schema. The document will load ok and is even checked for correct XML syntax but doesn't validate against the schema.

Here is an outline of the code:

#import "msxml3.dll"

IXMLDOMDocumentPtr spDoc;
hr = spDoc.CreateInstance(__uuidof(DOMDocument));
if (FAILED(hr))
{
return 0;
}

// These properties are supposed to be set by default
// but just in case I make sure they are.
hr = spDoc->put_resolveExternals(VARIANT_TRUE);
if (FAILED(hr))
{
return 0;
}
hr = spDoc->put_validateOnParse(VARIANT_TRUE);
if (FAILED(hr))
{
return 0;
}

// Load and parse the input XML file.
_variant_t vFile(lpszXMLFile);
VARIANT_BOOL bSuccess = false;
hr = spDoc->load(vFile, &bSuccess);
if (FAILED(hr) || !bSuccess)
{
return 0;
}

The reference to the schema in the input XML file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FreshItem xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="C:\Visual Studio Projects\Wcpw\Debug\FreshItem.xsd">

I suspect it is something to do with the reference to the schema since if I edit this to put in some bogus path it will still succeed to load, it looks like it is ignoring the schema reference altogether.

What's wrong with my DCs

Hi,
I was in need to do a listview with 100x100x32 bitmaps/thumbs and I did so. But then a problem appeared, as the 9x windows don't seem to be able to handle the 330 neccessary items (13 megs in image list... ImageList_Add fails for one of the items, seemingly due to lack of resources). So I followed a fellows idea and did it over LVS_OWNERDATA. He told me making a 1-item image list and changing the image actually when the text is asked for. But here comes my problem:

1) I specify the ownerdata flag when creating
2) I specify the number of items in the listview control
3) The listview starts immediately asking me for texts... and I provide them... so far all right
4) It also asks for images. I provide them (the index = 0 and an appropriate image in the imagelist)

Problems
1) With that many items (330 and more), the application starts saying low on resources again. But mostly when I start moving thru the list itself. So it's a fault in my imagelist construction routines. Could someone send me his/her? Or is it because the incorrect appoarch?
2) I DO NOT add any items, I just specify the count and the control starts immediately asking me... Where's the fault?

It's kind of urgent and I would REALLY apperciate any ideas, hints, thoughts, suggestions, better appoarches. Thanks

If you're running out of resources you are creating DCs or HBITMAPs and not cleaning them up. Do you deselect everything you select into a DC before deleting it ?

HBITMAP hBitmap;
HGDIOBJ hOld;
HDC hDC,hTempDC;
RECT rect = {0, 0, 100, 100};
int width,height,x_offset,y_offset;

hDC = ::GetDC(Window->GetHWND());
hTempDC = CreateCompatibleDC(hDC);

hBitmap = CreateCompatibleBitmap(hDC, 100, 100);

hOld = SelectObject(hTempDC, hBitmap);
FillRect(hTempDC, &rect, (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(GRAY_BRUSH));
SelectObject(hTempDC, hOld);

m_Thumb->CreateFromHBITMAP(hBitmap); //this is a 3rd party lib and I assume it's correct

DeleteDC(hTempDC);
DeleteObject(hBitmap);
ReleaseDC(Window->GetHWND(), hDC);
}

the second one (there are two funcs working with this stuff is exactly the same, just that it returns the HBITMAP to another function which Adds it to image list and then DeleteObjects it

Thanks

Christian Graus12-Aug-02 15:42

12-Aug-02 15:42

All looks fine to me, except I'm not sure why hOld is not a HBITMAP ? That may be the problem, but I don't see why.

Can someone help my with the item addition issue then? Maybe I could find something there

You almost/kinda have it. I'm not sure what exactly m_Thumb->CreateFromHBITMAP( hBitmap ); does.
The theory is once you have a HBITMAP from your thumbnail you either use the CImageList Replace method if you're using MFC, or ImageList_Replace using straight win32. It looks like your 3rd party lib will give you a HBITMAP when you need it. Just use that to replace the 0th image in the imagelist.
If you need further help, let me know. What I do is slightly different. I store the raw image data using a FAST data (un)compression library and decompress it on-the-fly. Image lists tend to consume large amounts of memory when used exclusively. Once I figured out this method my app consumes about 1/10th the memory it used to.

OnSysCommand - cant find it in ClassWizard

13-Aug-02 10:13

Well, it seems like I'm unable to make the listview handle my handles properly or what... I still cannot figure it out. Could you contact me via e-mail? I need to discuss some related issues. My ICQ is 100419594 - thanks much for your help

I was told that I could debug with the OnSysCommmand handler. I cant find in the Clas wizard where it is to add it. Will it be a handler in the mainframe? Or the view? Anyways I dont see a SySCOMMAND message or anything likethatin theCW for mainframe class or view class...
Thanks,
ns

(I want to debug a crash that happens when I click the right cross system menu)

Found it, but which class should have the handler?

Add Windows Message Handler dialog has combo box "Filter for messages available to class". Select "window" in this combo, and you will see all messages, including WM_SYSCOMMAND.

I want to debug the crash when I close with the right hand x (WM_SYSCOMMAND). Which class should I put the handler in? The mainframe? Or the view? Or the doc?

Thank you

Now that I've found the WM_SYSCOMMAND message, how exactly do I debug the crash? The handler is going to be empty, so what shall I put a breakpoint on?

void CMainFrame::OnSysCommand(UINT nID, LPARAM lParam) 
{
	// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
	
	CMDIFrameWnd::OnSysCommand(nID, lParam);
}

How does having an almost empty handler help you figure out why you are crashing when exiting wit the system right cross?

I must be missing something obvious!! Help!
Thanks,

It may not help. If your application crashes on exit, you probably have a big memory leak or something. Run the exe from the debugger and look at your ouput window in MsDev after you exit the application. See if it is reporting any memory leaks and so on..

Since this crash was happening after several times of rerunning a particular function, I looked at it, found a new char being created, and never deleted. It was a pretty big char array. SO I did a delete and set the pointer = NULL. Are these two steps the right thing to do? In my main app, I have lots of 'new' variables but they are all small and in 90% of the places I dont delete them . But since this turns out to be a cumulative problem, I am going to weed them out and delete them, and NULL them. Is the NULL a good practice or unnecessary?
Thanks,
ns
