I'm trying to implement a dynamic menu system to my program. Currently, i can add and remove the items from the menu, and make the menu items run code that i've premade.
for example i can add "section 1" to a section menu, while associating ID_SECTION_1 to the command in the menu. This will call my OnSection1() code when this command is executed.
I want this to be boundless (i.e. i dont want to have to make code for OnSection2, OnSection3, OnSection4... , or the strings in the string table, and so on.) I can currently bind each new menu item to the same id, for example section 1, section 2, and section 3 all run the OnSection() command which is bound to ID_SECTION. What i cannot do, is figure out how to determine which of the 3 i called. I would like to basically get the location of the last menu choice i picked, so if section 2 is in the second spot on the menu, i want to know this when i call OnSection().
Any ideas?

why dont u store the currently displayed option on the menu as a numeric index somewhere and use a switch staement in the code to determine what to do?

Many options will be showing, and i basically need to record the actual text that shows up in the menu. I cannot save the index value when i set the menu text, because i do not know which item will be chosen. I want the menu text simply to help me figure out which one i actually chose.
For example
File Edit Sections
->Section 1
I do something and create 3 more sections at runtime modifying the menu.
Now the menu looks like this
Sections
->Section 1
->Section 2
->Section 3
->Section 4
Each Menu choice is bound to ID_SECTION.
ID_SECTION corresponds to OnSection()
In my code:
void OnSection()
{
int section;
// I need to fill the section variable with
// the index of the item i picked from the menu
// since all of them have the same ID.
If(section==1)
handle section 1
If(section==2)
handle section 2
If(section==3)
handle section 3
If(section==4)
handle section 4
}
Hopefully this helps.
Thanks.

You should be able to use GetCurrentMessage() and interrogate the wParam/lParam values to get the actual command ID of the menu option selecetd.

Hello,
I need to be able to get the Serial Nº of my hard disk in order to be able to make my programs to run only in the hard disk that I want them to.
I'm using this code:
DWORD dwNumSerie = 0;
UpdateData();
GetVolumeInformation((LPCTSTR)this->m_vedPath,NULL,0,&dwNumSerie,NULL,NULL,NULL,0);
this->m_vedNumSerie.Format("%d",dwNumSerie);
UpdateData(FALSE);How do I can be sure that the code works?
As a parameter I've written down a "\" (backslash only) in an editcontrol (m_vedPath variable is a CString linked to that EditCtrl).
Is that parameter right in order to get info. of the local HDD?
Thank you in advance.
NOTE:
I've received a - number in my laptop and a positive one in other PC.

Hi Joan,
The disk s/n is a DWORD. For the path I use GetWindowsDirectory() and if that is a UNC I use "C:\". I also test whether GetVolumeInformation() succeeds, which you should always do when calling functions that return status information.

i am programming in Visual C++.Net and i am working on a SDI project. i creat a Modeless Dialog box beside my document Window. and i have some button on this dialog box. i want to trap these Buttons events. So am using Event Handler and i creat a Function for one of the buttons in one of my Class to handle the Events of buttons (for example a function for BN_CLICKED on CMainFrame) but when i click on one of those Button nothing happend then(i set some Line BreakPoints on those Functions that created by Event handler, but they never Executed). i don't know why !
what is the reason ?
|

|

Add the event handlers in the appropriate class. In this case, it is the dialog box.

my project name is Test.
i have to Trap Messages of that Button in CTestView.
do u mean that i can't do that ?

If you button is in a dialog, trap the button in your dialog class. If you want to trap the message in your main window, I am sure you can modify the command routing to deliver the message to your main window. How to do that? I don't know. I haven't use MFC in 4+ years.

Thanks for your answers. but how can i make a Connection between my Dialog button and my main Windows (CTestView). ? what can i do if i want to Trap BN_CLICKED of a butoon on a Dialog in my CTestView ?

when the button gets clicked in the dialog send a message to the main app and process it there ... use some custom message id's and u'll be fine

|
|
|
|
|

What event (or message or function call) does my MFC application/dialog will get when user presses WINDOWS-KEY + M ( the one that we use to minimize all windows ).
My Dialog based application does not get any notification and doesn't get minimized when I press WINDOWS-KEY+M
however I am able to minimize all windows (including my app) by pressing the "Show Desktop" quick link (which generally resides next to Start menu in the taskbar)
I want to rectify this problem with my app.
Please help me.

ummmmm isnt it the WM_SHOWWINDOW message?

Wizard window says
WM_SHOWWINDOW: Indicates a window is about to be hidden or shown
So WM_SHOWWINDOW is when we call ShowWindow(nShowCmd) or any other similar things.
I am asking about window minimize.
I have done a weird thing for the window not to get minimized by default (ie without adding any code).
I removed the minimize button & title bar of the dialog. 
Since I am doing all that title bar stuff on my own, I want to add this functionality too.
Please help me.

afaik all window stuff to do with min and max and whatnot gets done thru the SW_SHOWWINDOW message

For message related issues, the best tool to use is Spy++, which comes with Visual C++. I just tried it and I got a message number 0x0127 (unknown) for Windows+M. You may wanna look into it further.
One thing to note however, is that Windows+M works fine with a dialog-based app I have here. Is there something special about yours?

hello @all,
i need an instruction which waits until MATLAB will finish it's job.
earlier forum question:
hello @all,
i try to explain what i want / must do :
i have something like this:
i=0;<br />
while(i<5)<br />
{<br />
i++;<br />
}<br />
the only problem is the while loop. without these, the program part runs perfectly. however i need a while loop or something like that.
i think, the problem lie in the fact that the program sends the data to matlab and then directly in the code continues to go. possibly different processes run off parallel.
i think i must have something that waits so long, till matlab is ready with the diagram (i tried Sleep(1000) but it do not work).
maybe somebody know, if matlab has got a 'instruction' or if i can make something like a 'queue'.
thank you very much
happy
