Re: unresolved external when adding WTL to ATL project

That's what I did and I always get an unresolved external with this command:

extern CServerAppModule _Module

I also tried:

extern CAppModule _Module

There's no lib to link, right?

Just like with any global variable, you also need to define the variable in one of your CPP files.

CAppModule _Module;

Sh*t hits the fan when you combine ATL7 and WTL7 in a COM-dll project.. Frown | :(

ATL7 uses totally different "module"-strategy than ATL3. WTL7 however relies on the old ATL3-strategy.

What you need to do then is to

#include <atlheaders.h>
#define _Module (*_pModule)
#include <wtlheaders.h<
#undef _Module

Group box resizing problem using standard WTL resizing mechanism

Hello,

I have a resizable dialog with a group box control. Resizing is done via WTL's classes & macros. It looks like the group box control's background is not repainted neither initially nor after resize. Does anybody know how work around this problem?
Thanks.

Groupboxes do not peacefully coexist with the WS_CLIPCHILDREN window style when resizing. You can remove the clip children style from the property page, but be prepared to suffer some screen flicker.

ATL Web Service on NT 4.0

I am trying to develop an ATL Web Service. It works fine on Win2000, but I want to deploy it on a NT Server machine with .NET framework installed.
Unfortunatelly, trying to add a web reference from a client application to the server will give me http 500 error.

Are there any tricks to be performed or is it just not possible?

Thanks!

Best regards,

Is this the same as trying to create a virtual directory for an IIS server on NT 4? If so, I've got a VB script that works.

Re: ATL Web Service on NT 4.0

It has nothing to do with the virtual directory. I can create that manually and it works fine.

I have also tried to make an ATL Server application (not WebService). Trying to access the srf file gets me the following error "The remote procedure call did not execute"

Any ideas? According to the documentation one can create ATL Server application on NT 4 Server. Maybe there is also something they forgot to mention....

How do I call the choose folder dialog

SHBrowseForFolder() is the API. There are wrapper classes here on CP (but I haven't looked to see which ones use ATL.)

Yes, I have the following Function wich calls the BROWSEINFO API, but when I run this on Win98 I get an exception, but on winME everything works OK. Can somebody help me solve this problem. Confused | :confused:

BOOL folderDialog(const HWND parent, const char *topic, char *result, const bool allowNew, const int extraFlags)
{
// CoInitialize must be called to support BIF_USENEWUI.
OleInitialize(NULL);

LPMALLOC pMalloc = NULL;
LPITEMIDLIST pidl = NULL;
BROWSEINFO bi;
ZeroMemory(&bi, sizeof(BROWSEINFO));

// set the bi's default values
bi.hwndOwner = parent;
bi.lpszTitle = topic;

bi.ulFlags = BIF_STATUSTEXT | extraFlags;
if (!allowNew)
{
bi.ulFlags = bi.ulFlags;
}

pidl = SHBrowseForFolder(&bi);

if(pidl != NULL)
{
SHGetPathFromIDList(pidl, result);

// free memory
if (FAILED(SHGetMalloc(&pMalloc)))
{
throw "SHGetMalloc Failed!";
}
pMalloc->Free(pidl);
pMalloc->Release();

OleUninitialize();
return (BOOL)strlen(result);
}
OleUninitialize();
return FALSE;
}

Check the MSDN. One or more of the functions you are calling may not be implemented by the Win98 shell.

CWindow::IsWindow // testing the member hWnd

Phil.Benson1-Oct-02 3:33

While testing my application (a Win32 dll using WTL/ATL not a COM server, that exports functions to a mfc app) on Win98 I have had the following problem.

Under Windows XP/ Win 2000 the following works fine, and as expected

if(pPage->m_hWnd != NULL && ::IsWindow(pPage->m_hWnd) == TRUE){

_sError.Format("%s %d", "Showing page ", pPage->m_nPageID);
::MessageBox(NULL, _sError,"",MB_OK);

pPage->EnableWindow(TRUE);
pPage->ShowWindow(SW_RESTORE);
bResult = pPage->OnSetActive();
}

however under win 98, ::IsWindow always returns FALSE, regrdless.... has anyone a workaround for this as (I think?) it adds a bit more safety. I have even tried pPage->IsWindow(), but this also fails

Anyone had similar problems?

bum... and I thought I´d got rid of all the bugs Frown | :(

I don't really think this is the problem, but it costs nothing to give it a try: replace your check with

if(pPage->m_hWnd != NULL && ::IsWindow(pPage->m_hWnd)){
...

Note the docs say the result on success of IsWindow is nonzero, which is not the same as being equal to TRUE.

Thnaks, this did the job, but why did my function work on NT4/2000/XP. but on Win98 (and I presume on Win95) not, this was what confused me......?

Re: CWindow::IsWindow // testing the member hWnd

The docs say that ::IsWindow() returns non-zero if the argument is a valid window. In one case, the O/S returns TRUE. In another case, the O/S is returning (possibly) the window handle, or something else, that is non-zero.

As a rule, the following:

BOOL condition = ::Windows_API_Call(...);
...
if (condition) {
    ...
}

is preferable to

if (condition == TRUE) {
    ...
}

since the Windows API (where BOOL is defined) tends to play fast-and-loose with BOOL return values. Often, they define the return value of an API call as BOOL (which you assume has only two values, TRUE and FALSE), when it would be better to specify it as a DWORD. The return value in that case means one thing when it is non-zero, and something else when it is zero.

How to creat an Object from with a pointer

I have this code wich creates a Grid, this works using a wrapper class.
CdxDBGrid m_grid;
m_grid.Create(_T("TestGrid"),WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE, CRect(1, 2, 3, 4), this,
1);

So the question How do I achive the same as above but with a pointer. Or how do I create a View with my pointer.

First I appreciate your answer. But What I really want to know is, if it is a good idea to use a Grid that resides in a DLL. And if so How do I create an Object of it. I did this but with MFC and the autogenerated wrapper classes and everything works OK but I don`t know how to use it in a ATL/WTL project. This is because if I try to use the generated class I get some error about undefined class. OMG | :OMG:

Re: Combo heigth problem

First make a call GetDlgItem with the handle of the parent dialog and the ID of your combo box. This will return a handle to the combo box to you.

You can then use that handle in a call to MoveWindow to resize and move the combo box.

STL reference?

User 988527-Sep-02 6:53

27-Sep-02 6:53

Is there some article that demonstrates the use of one STL container inside another?

for example, how to use

std::map<std::string, std::vector<std::string> > x;

ie, how do i insert?
how do i get back the reference of the vector instead of copying it out?

etc.
