Hi!!
I've created a dialog based application (Multithreaded)in VC++ 7.0. I've only used MFC thread and CFile clases in this application. After linking this application in Release mode, the size of exe found to be 210 KB.
Is there any way we can reduce the size of MFC apps.???

Actually Mike and Nish have wrote an article which "probably" answers that very question...

There are some ATL conversion macros declared in ATLCONV.h.
You will need to declare USES_CONVERSION; in the function that will be using the conversion macros. THis macro declares a few variables on the stack.
Then you can use OLE2T(bstr) to convert your bstr to your C-Style string. There are a slew of macros to convert from (A)Ansi to (W)widechar, to (bstr)bstr including (c)constants and whatever else. The convention is to use the format that you are going from like (A)ansi then a 2 followed by the format converting to like a (BSTR)bstr. Your final macro would be A2BSTR().
Good Luck

Hi!
I am creating a dialog with the Create member function.
So, I would like to change the window styles (like WS_CAPTION, WS_CHILD, ...) before or after creating the dialog!
I want to do like something:
CMyDlg dlg;
dlg.???(...);
dlg.Create(CMyDlg::IDD);
dlg.???(...);
dlg.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
How can I change the window styles, before or after creating the dialog and display it on the screen?

I don't think you can change the dialog windows styles before creating it...but you could do it during creation using CreateIndirect() or after using SetClassLong() with GCL_STYLE as a parameter. If my memory serves me correctly and you like doing things the hard way (like me somtimes) you could prolly initialize a WNDCLASS with all the desired WS_??? styles and the call CreateWindowEx() and them somehow the following...
MSDN:
The CreateDialog function uses the CreateWindowEx function to create the dialog box. CreateDialog then sends a WM_INITDIALOG message (and a WM_SETFONT message if the template specifies the DS_SETFONT style) to the dialog box procedure. The function displays the dialog box if the template specifies the WS_VISIBLE style. Finally, CreateDialog returns the window handle to the dialog box.
Just some suggestions... 
Cheers!

Use the ModifyStyle and ModifyStyleex member functions.
The first parameter is the styles that you would like to remove from the window, the second parameter is the style that you would like to add, and the third parameter is related to if you changed a style that affects the borders of the window.
Look in MSDN for more details.
Good Luck.

In my experience, some things don't work with ModifyStyle and ModifyStyleEx.
For example, making the title bar like a toolbar works whereas completely removing it doesn't. The bizzare thing is that for the latter, the window behaves (when you click on it with a mouse) as though the title bar does not exist even when it is still visible (in W2k anyway?!)
it drove me nuts!

Hello,
I would like to use DrawText on top of my application window. The window itself contains a child window. How do I use DrawText on top of both window? I can draw it directly to the screen DC but it's hard to prevent drawing to other windows not belong to my window when my application is partially covered by other application. I also tried to SetWindowLong(m_hParent, GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLong(GWL_STYLE) & ~WS_CLIPCHILDREN); but the text still covered by the child window. Do you have solution for this problem?
Thanks,
Hiusing

Why not just use the childs DC...??
Obviously i am misunderstanding something...you want to draw overtop of both windows child and parent but also want to make whatever the parent contains visible through the child also...?
MSDN:
If WS_CLIPSIBLINGS is not specified and child windows overlap, it is possible, when drawing within the client area of a child window, to draw within the client area of a neighboring child window.
WS_CLIPSIBLINGS won't do what you desire I don't think
Perhaps create the child window with a NULL brush, this way everything underneath remains visible...
MSDN:
CS_PARENTDC Sets the clipping region of the child window to that of the parent window so that the child can draw on the parent. A window with the CS_PARENTDC style bit receives a regular device context from the system's cache of device contexts. It does not give the child the parent's device context or device context settings. Specifying CS_PARENTDC enhances an application's performance. For more information, seeDevice Contexts.
This might give you the desired effect also so long as your child window returns FALSE in OnEraseBkgnd()

Hello,
I am trying to create a UI thread and use CSocket with in the thread to do a file transfer. I have created my own CWinThread class and a CSocket Class..
I keep getting a error when I try to create the socket inside of the thread.
Here is the error, in debug mode..
void* CMapPtrToPtr::GetValueAt(void* key) const
{
if (m_pHashTable == NULL)<-- HERE
return NULL;
UINT nHash = HashKey(key) % m_nHashTableSize;
CAssoc* pAssoc;
for (pAssoc = m_pHashTable[nHash]; pAssoc != NULL; pAssoc = pAssoc->pNext)
{
if (pAssoc->key == key)
return pAssoc->value;
}
return NULL;
}
In my InitInstance() inside the thread i do a..
BOOL CFtThread::InitInstance()
{
if(!AfxSocketInit())
return FALSE;
return TRUE;
}
and in my "int CFtThread::Run()" I try to Create the socket, thats when I get the error..
Here is how I am trying to create the thread in my main app.. maybe this has something to do with it..
CFtThread* pThread = (CFtThread*)AfxBeginThread(RUNTIME_CLASS(CFtThread),
THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL, 0, CREATE_SUSPENDED);
pThread->m_strAddress = pView->m_strClientDns;
pThread->m_nPort = 21;
pThread->m_strFile = strFilePath;
pThread->m_bAutoDelete = TRUE;
pThread->ResumeThread();
I have seen posts at articles on CodeProject that say that the AfxSocketInit() fixed their problems but I am still having the problem...
Thanks in advance!!

I have a code statements using STL and CString of MFC:
#include <vector>
#include <afx.h>
vector<CString> strs;
vector<CString>::iterator pos;
pos = find(m_lstPy.begin() + nIndexStart, m_lstPy.end(), lpszFind); // Error line
....
The building error:
error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'const class CString *' to 'class CString *' Conversion loses qualifiers
|
|
|
|
|
try this:
CString temp = lpszFind;
pos = find(m_lstPy.begin() + nIndexStart, m_lstPy.end(), temp);
or
pos = find(m_lstPy.begin() + nIndexStart, m_lstPy.end(), &temp);

yes i did. here is the entire program that i used to test it:

#include "mfcmfmcc.h"
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <afx.h>
#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#undef THIS_FILE

if (!AfxWinInit(::GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL, ::GetCommandLine(), 0))
{
cerr << _T("Fatal Error: MFC initialization failed") << endl;
nRetCode = 1;
}
else
{
vector<CString> strs;
vector<CString>::iterator pos;
const char * lpszFind = "hi";
pos = find(strs.begin(), strs.end(), lpszFind);
}
return nRetCode;
}
the problem is apparently not in the code you're showing us.

Does anyone know how to retrieve the location of all the icons and shortcuts on the desktop? My program needs to change the display settings at runtime, which may cause icons to be moved around on the Desktop. Once the program is closed, I'd like to restore all the icons and shortcuts to their original locations on the Desktop.
