First, I want to thank the group for their responses to my last post. Now, I have it working. Here is what my code looks like:
<br />
button1.Create( TEXT( "xxx" ),<br />
WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD|WS_GROUP|BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON,<br />
CRect( 250, 50+charHeight+6, 250 + 9*charWidth, 50+2*(charHeight+6)), this, 2500 );<br />
<br />
<br />
button2.Create( TEXT( "yyyyyy" ),<br />
WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD|BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON,<br />
CRect( 250, 50+2*(charHeight+6), 250 + 9*charWidth, 50+3*(charHeight+6)), this, 2500 );<br />
The problem is that when it draws the text of the button, it also draws a different background. I would like the background of the buttons to be the same as the backgrounds of the window. Currently, I do not change the background of my main window. I am thinking that one solution would be to put the text out by calling the method TextOut.
Thanks
Bob

Seems a regular way of crating buttons and I don't see any special code that would make the button to draw its background differently... Are you sure that is the text that makes the button draw its bg differently?

Arman,
Thanks for the response. When the text is drawn on the screen, the background is a pale green (Note: my color vision is second rate). The normal background is white. When I make the size of the button bigger, I get a large pale green background. Therefore, I am fairly sure that the button is making the background change color. Is there an easy way for me to set the background of the button to be the same as the background of the window?
Thanks
Bob

I think you need to handle WM_CTLCOLOR message and set the buttons background transparent and/or set a specific color for it. Something like this:
HBRUSH CMyDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
if (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_MYBUTTON)
{
pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
}
return hbr;
}

Arman,
Thanks for the response. I am wondering what is the class CMyDlg? Is it a class derived from CButton? Is it the main window class?
Bob

I didn't mean a CButton derived class but the class inside which you create your buttons. I assumed it could be CDialog derived class (that is why the name CMyDlg) but actually it may be any CWnd derived class.

Arman,
Thanks for the response. I am doing this in a small test application first, to make sure I understand what is going on. Here is what the routine that I used:
<br />
HBRUSH<br />
CMainWindow::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)<br />
{<br />
HBRUSH hbr = CFrameWnd::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);<br />
if (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == 2500 ) {<br />
pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);<br />
}<br />
return hbr;<br />
}<br />
The class CMainWindow is the main window of the application. Here is the message map for the class:
<br />
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP( CMainWindow, CFrameWnd )<br />
ON_WM_CREATE()<br />
ON_WM_CTLCOLOR()<br />
END_MESSAGE_MAP()<br />
The method CMainWindow::OnCtlColor is being called (I verified this with the debugger) and the call
to SetBkMode is happening. However, the background for the button is being changed. I would like
to know either what I am doing wrong, how to debug it, or where to look for some more information.
Thanks
Bob

Some quick hints;
* try to set background color (instead setting transparent) via CDC::SetBkColor. Here you need to create a HBRUSH object as a member variable in your CMainWindow class (i.g. in constructor; m_brush=::CreateSolidBrush(RGB(my color)) .) Then return that m_brush from OnCrlColor any time you set SetBkColor.
* I'm pretty sure here at codeproject there could at least several good articles on WM_CTLCOLOR and/or OnCtlColor. I think you need make a search for those keys.
Regards.

I created about 40 CComboBox dynamically,
and do following process for every combobox
-----------------------------------------------------------------
pComboBox[i]->AddString(str);
int iCurIndex = pComboBox[i]->SelectString( -1, str);
if(iCurIndex != -1)
pComboBox[i]->GetLBText(iCurIndex , str);
-----------------------------------------------------------------
When i is 36, exception will occur at line 3. At this time, iCurIndex is 0,
however,content of pComboBox[36] can't be acquired.
|
|
|
|
|
When i is 36, only pComboBox[0] to pComboBox[35] is valid.
So pComboBox[36] is invalid.

Ok below is my code for a Game of Life in C++, my question is how do I make it so after ever generation it stops and the user has to press enter to go to the next generation?

I pick one number by one number from numbers of 1 to 100, then submit them to 5 places (20 numbers for each).
I hope results are differnent, so I use rand() and srand() to generate randomly "pick up" and "submit".
but results are same always. it sounds that rand() function is not random.
do you know how to solve the problem? any function which is real random?
thanks

I am not sure what you mean by submit. The function srand is to seed the random number generator. I have run some tests on the rand() function that comes with the Microsoft C/C++ compiler. I find it to be an excellent random number generator. Is it a perfect one? No. The function rand() is suppose to produce a random number whose value is independent of the last value it returned.
Are you saying that for two different seeds you are getting the same sequence of random numbers? If this is true, then I think there is a problem.
I have a feeling that I did not help you. I also believe that if I understood your problem better, I could give you a better answer.

Calling rand() 100 times does not guarantee 100 unique numbers if that is what you mean.

Please post some code. Which seed did you provide to srand ? If it is always the same, then your generated sequence will always be the same. Could that be the problem ?
|
|
|
|

Without some code, I cannot say much. But I've the feeling you're calling srand and rand pair each time generating another random number (and which is the seed for srand?). Generally, srand is called before first call to rand and that is it.

No. A purely software function can only ever be pseudo-random. The srand function tells the rand function where to start in its pseudo-random sequence.
You need a hardware source of entropy for a real random source.

It's always been known that rand() , and any other computer algorithm, produces pseudo-random numbers.

No.
The problem is not with rand() . The problem is with how you are using it.

See CryptGenRandom[^] API.

From the docs:
The data produced by this function is cryptographically random. It is far more random than the data generated by the typical random number generator such as the one shipped with your C compiler.
...
With Microsoft CSPs, CryptGenRandom uses the same random number generator used by other security components. This allows numerous processes to contribute to a system-wide seed. CryptoAPI stores an intermediate random seed with every user.

Please consider the following code fragement:
<br />
int errNumber = 0;<br />
int retValue = button1.Create( TEXT( "xxx" ), WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD|WS_GROUP|BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON,<br />
CRect( 300, 300, 20, 20 ), this, 500 );<br />
if ( retValue != 0 ) {<br />
errNumber = GetLastError();<br />
}<br />
retValue = button2.Create( TEXT( "xxx" ), WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD|BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON,<br />
CRect( 300, 350, 20, 20), this, 500 )<br />
I put this code inside my routine CMainWindow::OnCreate(). I would expect it to create and
show two buttons. These buttons should be a place on the screen where the user can
check one of them. However, neither button shows up. The return value from the create
method is 1, which I interpret to mean no error. Is there something else I need to do?
Thanks
Bob

See the constructor of CRect here[^]. The documentation says, CRect(left, top, right, bottom), not CRect(left, top, width, height), that is probably your problem. Change your CRect(300, 300, 20, 20) to CRect(300, 300, 320, 320) and the other CRect(300, 350, 20, 20) to CRect(300, 350, 320, 370).

The CRect constructors look wrong - the third and fourth arguments should be the right and bottom co-ordinates of the rectangle, but it looks live you've interpreted them as width and height?

I've got a frame that's contained in a DLL and called via:
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) BOOL APIENTRY TermLoaderMode()
{
static CBaseMultiDocTemplate *pDocTemplate = NULL; //Derived from CMultiDocTemplate
CBaseApp *pApp = (CBaseApp *)AfxGetApp();
if (pDocTemplate == NULL)
{
pDocTemplate = new CBaseMultiDocTemplate( IDR_LOADER_USER,
RUNTIME_CLASS(CBaseDoc),
RUNTIME_CLASS(CTermLoaderFrame),
RUNTIME_CLASS(CTermLoaderView));
pApp->AddDocTemplate( pDocTemplate );
}
return( TRUE );
}
I'm trying to change out IDR_LOADER_USER with IDR_LOADER_DEV based upon user type. Users get IDR_LOADER_USER, devs get IDR_LOADER_DEV.
In my view class' OnInitialUpdate(), I call the following function but it fails on ::LoadMenu. (returns NULL).
Here's my menu grab function:
void CTermLoaderView::ReplaceMenu(void)
{
HMENU hm = ((CTermLoaderView*)GetDocument())->m_hMenuDefault = ::LoadMenu( ::AfxGetResourceHandle(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_LOADER_DEV));
if(((CTermLoaderView*)GetDocument())->m_hMenuDefault == NULL)
{
TRACE0("Failure to get menu object.");
AfxMessageBox(_T("Failure to get menu object."));
return;
}
CMDIFrameWnd* frame = ((CTermLoaderView*)GetParent())->GetMDIFrame();
frame->MDISetMenu(CMenu::FromHandle(((CTermLoaderView*)GetDocument())->m_hMenuDefault), NULL);
frame->DrawMenuBar();
}
Help?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have created one sample application which plays mp3 files, i have used MCI functions to get that application working. I am able to play the call, but not able to move the slider.
Can any one help me how it is happening like this..?
