Suggest you have a property sheet with three property pages which all have a combobox named IDC_COMBOBOX. The comboboxes named IDC_COMBOBOX, all have te same items stored in it. The list of items is large, so it takes a wile to put (initialize) all the items into the combobox. Therefore I want all the three comboboxes to share the same list of items, so that I only have to initialize one time to get all the three comboboxes filled with the same items.
How can I achieve this?
Have the property sheet keep the data in a list or array of some sort. Then in the OnSetActive() method of each property page, populate its combobox with the data from the property sheet. Make sense?

Hi,
can any body help me in creating a username and password for the database programmatically.I am connecting to the database like this:
CString sDriver = "MICROSOFT ACCESS DRIVER (*.mdb)";
CString sDsn;
TCHAR sError[100];
sDsn.Format(_T("ODBC;DRIVER={%s};DSN='';DBQ=%s"),sDriver,sDatabase);
try
{
m_pDatabase->Open(NULL,false,false,sDsn);
}
catch(CDBException* e)
{
e->GetErrorMessage(sError,100);
AfxMessageBox(sError);
}

I'm not sure about Access but isn't this accomplished using something like:
GRANT CONNECT TO FRED IDENTIFIED BY SESAME
BTW, why don't you just:
e->ReportError();
instead of
e->GetErrorMessage(sError,100);
AfxMessageBox(sError);
Rgds,
S. Bro

read msdn "SQLDriverConnect (Access)"
there you will see, that the UID and PWD keywords are supported...
use sDsn.Format(_T("ODBC;DRIVER={%s};DSN='';DBQ=%s;UID=%s;PWD=%s"),sDriver,sDatabase,sUser,sPass);
i don't know if this works, it's just an idea.
good luck
Don't try it, just do it!

How to prevent binding a Type library to a ATL Attributed DLL ?

Hello everyone!
Please look at the follow sample,
--------
fd = open (...);
switch (fork())
{
case child_process:
use fd to read;
close (fd);
break;
case parent_process:
use fd to write;
wait (NULL)
break;
}
--------
I think the case is not correct. I think closing fd by child process is
not the same as closing fd by parent process. So I think the parent
process should also close fd before termination.
Am I correct?
Thanks in advance,
George

Yes. Both processes need to close the file descriptor. You also might want to use waitpid() instead of wait(), especially if you are using multiple child processes.
Hope this helps,

Thanks, Ryan buddy!
I have another sample. It is from the well known miniterm.
I think the parent process should close fd and reset the properties of /dev/modem, and stdout, and close /dev/modem even if the clild process has done
that. Am I correct?

It will need to close fd (which is /dev/modem), but I don't think (from memory) it needs to reset the properties of the devices. These properties are shared between processes, so the child doing this means that the parent does not have to.
Incidentally, Linux closes any file descriptors that the programs do not, so theoretically it does not have to close the file descriptor, but it's definitely good programming practice to do so.

Hi, all.
I'm now working with an Atl ActiveX control which displays various of shapes such as lines and circles.
GDI+ seems to be a good choice for drawing.
however,can GDI+ be used in ATL ?
I mean ,does anyone know where to put 'GdiplusStartup' and 'GdiplusShutdown'?
I've tried to put then in 'OnCreate' and 'OnDestroy' like this:
class ATL_NO_VTABLE Catlgdiptest :
public CComObjectRootEx<ccomsinglethreadmodel>,
...
{
...
public:
LRESULT OnCreate(UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, BOOL& bHandled)
{
// GdiPlus
GdiplusStartupInput gdiplusstartupinput;
GdiplusStartup (&m_gdiplustoken, &gdiplusstartupinput, NULL);
return 0;
}
LRESULT OnDestroy(UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, BOOL& bHandled)
{
// GdiPlus
GdiplusShutdown(m_gdiplustoken);
return 0;
}
HRESULT OnDraw(ATL_DRAWINFO& di)
{
RECT& rc = *(RECT*)di.prcBounds;
Rectangle(di.hdcDraw, rc.left, rc.top, rc.right, rc.bottom);
Graphics graphics(di.hdcDraw);
Pen pen(Color(255, 0, 0, 255));
graphics.DrawLine(&pen, rc.left, rc.top, rc.right, rc.bottom);
return S_OK;
}
...
};
But it doesn't work--the control draws nothing than a rectangle.
Is there any idea about it?
It's great to give any hint!

If we drug the toolbar of the main window and click any control on a toolbar,
normally focus is returned to main window after we release the mouse button
(at least is how Microsoft toolbars behave)
I am trying to implement a toolbar.
When to return focus to main window?
|
|
|
|

A simple way to answer your own question is, what bugs you the most when you use toolbars? I would prefer to have the focus returned to the main window as soon as a control on the toolbar has been used. That way I can continue working without that extra click required to move the focus to the working area. But then again, people have different preferences.

Your questions was "When to return focus to main window?"!!!
What kind of answer do you expect when you ask that question? On the other "How can I return the focus to the main window?" would have been a question that receives an answer with source code. Sorry, but with that kind of attitude you won't be getting any source code from me. I just wasted my time browsing through source code to find examples for you?! .

Yes it is
Half of writing programs for people to use it to work out how they want a program to behave. This includes how toolbars work. Most people will want toolbars where the focus is returned to the main window as soon as the mouse button is released, as you said. You weren't very clear in what you wanted to know. It appears that you wanted to know the best time to return the focus to the window, so that is what the reply was. There was nothing wrong with the reply at all.

Of course it could. Your initial question sounded like you were wanting to do something different, which is why Toni answered as he did. You didn't ask which event to handle, so the answer wasn't given. You can't expect people to answer questions you don't ask.

Thank you.
I couldn't understand why I couldn't catch this message.
It seems that for owned forms (as my floatimg toolbar) Windows set the mouse hook.
But I have got an idea.
Hope it will work.

Ryan, I took your previous advice (given a few days ago) on not to make things worse. Thank you.

I don't understand the process you describe, could you please specify?
When do you click on the control, after the drop? When the toolbar is floating? Is the control something like a combobox embedded on the toolbar?

Do you derivate a new class from CToolbar or directly from CWnd?

Ok.
Just to be sure on the words we use, let's define some:
When a toolbar is detached, we say it is "floating". When it is attached, we say it is "docked".
The behaviour of a toolbar when floating is different of when docked.
With the MFC, when a toolbar is floating, it is no more the direct descendant of the main window but the descendant of a new window, a docking frame. This new window is created when the toolbar is detached and is generally from the class CMiniFrameWnd. So, if you try to activate the parent, it might be not the good one.
IMHO, it should be the window receiving the command sent by the toolbar button which should set the focus to itself, and not the toolbar setting the focus to the window.

Another solution could be to store a pointer on the window which had previously the focus when the toolbar is activated, and then restore the focus to this window (if it still exists) after the processing of the command.
