Thanks, I'll give it a try, but the Field I'm filtering is a long. We'll see what happens when I query it with a string. As you can see, I'm real new at this, and can use all the help I can get.

Have a look at the message WM_CTLCOLOR.

Create a subclass of CStatic and override the WM_CTLCOLOR message. You should get a function afx_msg HBRUSH OnCtlColor( CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor );

Simply set the text colour when nCtlColor = CTLCOLOR_STATIC

OnChange()

Hello,
Is there a way to implement the OnChange() function for a int member vairable that is defined through a class? I have a int that changes every second like in a count down timer. I need to updateData(TRUE) every second for this int so it reflects the correct value, the only way I know how to do this is through the OnChange() function like you would use with a edit box control.

Thanks,

Rob Jones

If it happens every second, what's wrong with OnTimer ?

I initialize the int's through a OnStartButton funtion.. In OnTimer I am comparing the values of the 2 int's and displaying the count down time. Once I press the start button it initializes the correct int value and the OnTimer displays the correct count down value but when I do a TRACE on the count down int it shows that the int stays the same value as when I first initialized it and it only updates the one time(in trace). I need for the value to be updated every time it changes so when the OnTimer is comparing the two values and they reach a defined value my program executes a event. I was using a edit box to define the inital value of the int but now I'm pulling the value from a CString.

Multiple resource dlls

I have two MFC projects- each with any number of resources. The first project is an EXE module and the second is an MFC extension dll. The extension dll is linked into EXE (explicitly) at runtime. How do I get the EXE project to know resources in the DLL project?

I tried using the View->Resource Include options (readonly symbols), but it doesn't seem to work.. . Frown | :(

I think the simplest method would be to export a function that returns the DLL's resource handle -- see AfxGetResourceHandle(). Then when you’re loading your resources from that DLL, all you would need to do is call AfxSetResourceHandle() and pass it that DLL's handle...

HINSTANCE hInstOld = AfxGetResourceHandle ();<br />
ASSERT ( NULL != hInstOld );<br />
ASSERT ( NULL != hMyDLLResourceHandle );<br />
AfxSetResourceHandle ( hMyDLLResourceHandle );<br />
<br />
//<br />
// ... load the resource your looking for here<br />
//<br />
<br />
AfxSetResourceHandle ( hInstOld );

Beginner Question: Updating Items in a list control

10-Jul-01 9:07

I try to change the value of a subitem of a item.

I do this :
-------------
int Index;
LVITEM ItemData;
CString strItem;
CString FileName;

Index = m_FindItemListCtrl(FileName);
ItemData.iItem = Index;
ItemData.mask = LVIF_TEXT | LVIF_STATE;
ItemData.iSubItem = 0;
ItemData.stateMask = 0xFFFF; // get all state flags

TransControlList.GetItem(&ItemData);

//Change subitem 3
strItem.Format(Progress);
ItemData.iSubItem = 3;
ItemData.pszText = (LPTSTR)(LPCTSTR)(strItem);
TransControlList.SetItem(&ItemData);
TransControlList.Update(Index);

This doesn't work! what's wrong?

Thanks a lot

Enumerating sibling windows in MFC

Patrick Hogan10-Jul-01 8:39

Patrick Hogan

10-Jul-01 8:39

I've implemented a SDI program which spawns a bunch of modeless child windows (dialogs) and I need a way for a dialog to enumerate all it's siblings in MFC. I tried the following code in my dialog code:

CWnd *wnd = GetWindow( GW_HWNDFIRST );
while ( wnd != NULL )
{
process( wnd );
wnd = wnd->GetWindow( GW_HWNDNEXT );
}

But it enumerates all kinds of unexpected things such as child buttons on itself as well as siblings. All I want are the sibling dialogs.

Any ideas?

I don't believe you can get only siblings using GetWindow. The easiest way to solve your problem would be filtering the output GW_HWNDFIRST/GW_HWNDNEXT loop. If your dialogs have DECLARE_DYNAMIC/DYNCREATE/SERIAL, just test wnd->GetRuntimeClass()->m_lpszClassName.

Another solution: keep the list of open dialogs. Update the list in CYourDialog::OnInitDialog/DestroyWindow.

In my propertyPages I need to use member variable of their propertySheet object But it is unidentified .
How can I call this variable ???

I tried this: Hmmm | :|

-------------------------------------
CMyPropSheet* pSheet;
pSheet= (CMyPropSheet*)GetParent();
pSheet->myVariable.....
---------------------------------------

But in run-time when the program make the line :
pSheet= (CDefinitions*)GetParent();

it thrown out with the MessgeBox:
-------------------------------- Cry | :((

Debug Assertion Failed

Virtual message map functions?

Jake Palmer10-Jul-01 8:11

Jake Palmer

10-Jul-01 8:11

Is it possible for message map functions to be inherited? I'm trying to catch the ON_WM_ERASEBKGND message, and code the handler for all subclasses. I basically just put "virtual" in the message map:
virtual afx_msg BOOL OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC);

But the subclasses aren't executing the code. Am I trying to do something that I was never meant to do? Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

thanks,
Jake

Re: Virtual message map functions?

Tomasz Sowinski10-Jul-01 8:19

Tomasz Sowinski

10-Jul-01 8:19

You can achieve the 'inheritance' using second param of BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP macro...

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CSubclassedWnd, CBaseWnd)

... where CBaseWnd is a class where OnEraseBkgnd does its job. No need to make it virtual.

ON_CONTROL_RANGE

10-Jul-01 6:08

Hi,

Is there any catch to using the ON_CONTROL_RANGE handler? The debug version of my executable works fine but the release bombs when I use it. And if I replace ON_CONTROL_RANGE with individual handlers for all controls, the release version works fine!

Any pointers will be appreciated!

Thanks!

Be very sure you have used the correct num of parameters and return type in your handler. Most of these macros exhibit this 'crash in release' prob if you get this wrong.

NT Service with a GUI

Hi,

I have created a fantastic NT service which does some cool stuff. However, I need a method to Administer this fabulous app. Ideally I'd like to be able to popup a GUI in the service with a windows message or something.

Is it possible for a Service to have a GUI? I've looked into it a little and saw the article here about the NT Service with a shell tray icon, but I need a full dialog based GUI.

Possible?

Cheers

James

Re: NT Service with a GUI

10-Jul-01 6:28

this is straight forward. Invoke your dialog in the normal fashion with CDialog. (just like its done from the CApp implementation in a MFC framework based dialog appwizard project).

You're service needs to be able to "Interact with the desktop" though.
