Hi !

I am trying to use a list control inside a window, not a dialog, so I can resize it. I tried to create a class the inherit from CListCtrl and on it's instance to use the Create function:

CErrReport::CErrReport(CWnd *pParent)<br />
{<br />
	Create (WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW|WS_HSCROLL|WS_VSCROLL,CRect       (20,30,200,300),pParent,1);<br />
	<br />
}

On the paret window I used :

CErrReport *perr=new CErrReport (this);<br />
perr->ShowWindow (SW_SHOWNORMAL);

But the problem is that when the window starts I can't even click on it or move it or close it, nothing.....

What am I doing wrong ?????????????????///
Please help me

Thank you Frown | :(

Why not use resizable dialogs?

If I use a resizable dialog, then the dialog itself is resized but the control size is fixed, no ?

If I create a dialog based application, and I click on the maximize button, all the control remian in the original size they were created, is there a way to expand them to the size of the whole dialog frame ?

Thank you

You should be able to intercept the WM_SIZE and then, for each control in the window, call SetWindowPos or something like that. The WM_SIZE gets called with the new size as parameters, so you can redraw your controls or child window accordingly.

Shouldn't it be created using the WS_CHILD style? All the controls are supposted to be child windows. Just an idea.

Cheers

How about message reflection? I can't remember if it's nescessary to make the control work properly.

Look at TN062 in MSDN.

Sorry for not elaborating, but I really have to get home now (it's almost 5 pm in Denmark).

I think the style is wrong.

WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE| ....

don't WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW (WS_CAPTION, WS_SYSMENU, WS_THICKFRAME, WS_MINIMIZEBOX...)

suggestion

CErrReportListCtrl:public CListCtrl
{

};

CErrReport:public CWnd
{
private:
CErrReportListCtrl m_ListCtrl;

public:
CErrReport(CWnd* pParent,CRect& r=CRect(0,0,200,200))
{
Create(pParent,r);
}
void Create(CWnd* pParent,CRect& r)
{
Create(WS_OVERLAPPED|..,...,r,pParent,..);
m_ListCtrl.Create(WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|..,.....,this,1);
}
void OnSize(nType, cx, cy)
{
//Maybe
if(GetSafeWnd()!=NULL)
m_ListCtrl.MoveWindow (0, 0, cx, cy);
}
};

CErrReport *p= new CErrReport(this);

The Listctrl is nested in the CWnd

How to get local path from a shared folder name?

I will try this one, it looks like it's going to work. I found a similar solution in a book but it was too complicated, yours looks better.

Thank you.

Windows msg handlers

Can someone verify my thinking here - I think that a windows message can only be handled by a window-based class. Is this right?

For example: in a MFC app I can handle a message in the view, mainframe, etc. but I can't handle it directly in a non-window class that the view instantiates. (I know I could always call a function in the other class from the view's handler.)

thanks Smile | :)

Yes, this is true. The exception is WM_COMMAND, which can be handled by CCmdTarget derived classes, like CDocument, CWinApp or CYourOwnCmdTarget.

Thanks, Tomasz. I thought that was right, but sometimes it helps if you can find someone else that agrees.

If you really need to provide message handling stuff in classes not derived from CWnd, you may want to use CSubclassWnd by Paul DiLascia (the guy who writes C++ QA column in MSDN Magazine). Just search for CSubclassWnd in MSDN.

Compiling Visual C++ .NET projects from command line

15-Aug-02 4:27

You can use NetShareGetInfo

If you're running on Windows NT/2K/XP you can use level 2 and a structure of type SHARE_INFO_2;
on Windows 9x/ME level 50 and pass in a structure of type share_info_50.
The two structures unfortunately are defined in two different header files and, if you're targeting win9x you'll also need to link to a different library (netapi32.lib for NT/2K/XP and svrapi.lib for 9x)
Hope that helps,

Alberto

<disclaimer>I've not tried this with VS.NET, just VS6 where it worked a treat</disclaimer>

1. In a command prompt window, execute the vcvars.bat file in the Visual Studio .NET folder\VC7\bin folder. (i.e. Set up environment variables etc)

2. Try the command devenv /build .vcproj filename. If you do devenv /?, it shows you the command line parameters.
