Re: Help with ownerdrawn CListBox class

I think you can achieve this by handling (reflected) WM_CTLCOLORLISTBOX in CYourListBox.

Thanks Tomasz, that's exactly what I needed. Just swap out the brush in there and it works perfectly...

Delayload won't work for DLL itself?

Kurotora27-Aug-01 5:12

Hi,

I've been writing application for Windows 95/98/Me which loads private DLL. In that DLL, I need to call functions in oleacc.dll that is not supported in Windows 95. To let single binary work on 3 different Windows, I tried Delayload option.

/delayload:oleacc.dll option seems worked, since dependency walker didn't show oleacc.dll is used. Though, when I tried to load my private DLL by LoadLibrary(), it failed. (I'm using LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress() to control my DLL to handle any error regarding to this DLL.) And of course, it worked fine on 98/Me.

I'm quite sure any function belongs to oleacc was not called in DllMain(). If I commented out those functions, linker warned me that /delayload:oleacc.dll had no effect (which is supposed to be), and I could load my DLL.

So, for me, it looks like Delaylod won't work for DLL itslef. Thinking about a background of this mechanism, I can't understand why it didn't work.

Can anyone help me out? (Please forget about installing some optional kit on Windows 95, since my target is Japanese version and no one is available for that.)

I love Code Project, do you?

Hello, the codegurus around the world.;)

Actually, I can't understand your question very well.

However, if you try to use DelayLoadProfile.exe from Matt in MSJ,
DelayLoadProfile can't hook DLL calling from LoadLibrary as
some ppls pointed out DLL site of this CodeProject.
DelayLoadProfile only works for import table defined *.def to DLL.

But, we can hook LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress from kernel32.dll by DelayLoadProfile.exe. Cool | :cool:

Have a nice day!

Re: Now, I understand your questions.

27-Aug-01 7:39

Masaaki,

I'm not interested in Delayloadprofile.exe at all. Confused | :confused:

My question is, can DLL load another DLL when needed by using /delayload linker option as we do with EXE.

Getting idea?

Hello, the codegurus around the world.;)

Eventually, I understood your question. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

I didn't make DLL with loading DLL with delayload option. Dead | X|

However, I got some reference about delayload in MSDN help.

Constraints of Delay Loading DLLs
There are constraints regarding the delay loading of imports. 

Imports of data cannot be supported. A workaround is to explicitly handle the data import yourself using LoadLibrary (or GetModuleHandle after you know the delay-load helper has loaded the DLL) and GetProcAddress.

Delay loading Kernel32.dll not supported. This DLL is necessary for the delay-load helper routines to perform the delay loading.

Binding of entry points that are forwarded is not supported.

Delay loading of a DLL may not result in the same behavior of the process if there are per-process initializations that occur in the entry point of the delay-loaded DLL. Other cases include static TLS (thread local storage, declared using __declspec(thread) which is not handled when the DLL is loaded via LoadLibrary. Dynamic TLS, using TlsAlloc,TlsFree,TlsGetValue,TlsSetValue is still available for use in either static or delay-loaded DLLs.

Static (global) function pointers should be reinitialized to imported functions after the first call to the function. This is because the first use of the function pointer will point to the thunk.

Have a nice day!

I'm quite sure any function belongs to oleacc was not called in DllMain().

Maybe there are some global objects with c'tors calling oleacc functions? What's the error code after LoadLibrary?

Tomasz,

o No, there is no such objects related to oleacc.
o LoadLibrary() returned zero.

I'm mostly giving up to make single binary work on 3 different Windows. Cry | :((

LoadLibrary() returned zero.

Check the value returned by GetLastError. BTW: below you'll find the Win95-related note from LoadLibrary docs.

Windows 95: If you are using LoadLibrary to load a module that contains a resource whose numeric identifier is greater than 0x7FFF, LoadLibrary fails.

Tomasz,

GetLastError() returns 0x1f (ERROR_GEN_FAILURE).
Same code works on Windows 98 (but it could be loading oleacc).

Thanks.

There's a KB article Q200767 dealing with ERROR_GEN_FAILURE and LoadLibrary. However, it applies to both Win95 and Win98.

Last idea: try adding /delay:nobind to linker options.

CListView AND CListCtrl

27-Aug-01 5:03

Is it possible to subclass the CListCtrl in a CListView?
When I try it from CListView::OnCreate(), it fails while inside the Attach() function. The error indicates that the control has already been subclassed? Confused | :confused:

I have seen many articles on the web that say you need to derive from CView instead of CListView (and add a CListCtrl member), and move the CListCtrl to cover the view. Is this really the only way to use your own CListCtrl in a CListView?

Tree Control & Edit Label

27-Aug-01 10:02

CListView is a wrapper over Win32 list control, the control is already subclassed for you by MFC. Just handle the messages in a CListView derived class. You don't need a child CListCtrl, unless you plan to reuse it as a control (not a view) in the future.

Hello,

I have a tree control that I would like to do in-place editing of the labels. But, I only want to be able to edit certain levels. I currently have a context menu that gets enabled when on the appropriate level and calls myTree.EditLabel(sHItem) which is exactly what I want. However, when I check "Edit Labels" on the tree control in the resource tab, everything is editable. If I don't check this, then I crash when I call EditLabel(). Is there a way around this?

Assuming I get everything working, I have a couple more questions. How do I capture once the user is done editing. I may want to prevent them from renaming or provide a warning message if they proceed. The problem I see is each level has different contraints that I have to handle. Do I have to provide all the logic for each level in the OnEndlabeledit() handler?

Thanks in Advance!
Derek

However, when I check "Edit Labels" on the tree control in the resource tab, everything is editable.

Handle TVN_BEGINLABELEDIT notification. Return TRUE to cancel label editing.

How do I capture once the user is done editing.

TVN_ENDLABELEDIT, wrapped by OnEndlabelEdit handler. Return FALSE to reject the edited text and revert to the original label.

Do I have to provide all the logic for each level in the OnEndlabeledit() handler?

Yes.

Thanks - I worked through some of that, but you confirmed my suspicions!

I have a new problem related to this. If I only want to allow in-place label editing from a right-click context menu - say "Rename", how do I do this and not allow the tree to do the in-place editing as well. What I'm looking for is the same functionality as in regedit.exe and the right-click "Rename" command on a key, value, etc.

You've helped me in the past and I truly appreciate it!

Tomasz Sowinski27-Aug-01 10:42

Just handle TVN_BEGINLABELEDIT. Check the HTREEITEM and decide if editing is OK - if not, return TRUE to disable it.
