yeah i'm using a control variable, i just wrote it like that so it would be a little more clear what i was trying to do

or use ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI to get the CCmdUI* pCmdUI.
You could call
pCmdUI->Enable(true) to enable it.
This is applicable to all UI component which response to CCmdUI

I would like to have a "MDI" application that displays a bunch of reports in separate windows within a main frame. I would like to define each report using a dialog resource. This is what I have tried:
1. Create a dialog resource for each report and use classwizard to generate a class for each. The dialogs have the WS_CHILD style.
2. Create a menu resource which will allow selection of each report.
3. Have cwinnapp::initinstance create a CFrameWnd and add the menu to it.
4. When the user selects one of the reports from the menu then display the associated report dialog modelessly with the main cframewnd as the parent.
This sort of works. The problem is that the modeless dialog never gets the focus (even when I click on it). Is there a way to fix this or is there a better way to do this?

What are you using to create the dialog? are you using
m_your_dialog.Create();
m_your_dialog.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
This is how i create my modaless diags, and it brings them into focus automatically.

I have tried that, no luck.
My current code is:
if(rpt_cpu_category == NULL) {
rpt_cpu_category = new dlg_rpt_cpu_category;
rpt_cpu_category->Create("RPT_CPU_CATEGORY",this);
}
rpt_cpu_category->BringWindowToTop();
rpt_cpu_category->SetActiveWindow();
rpt_cpu_category->UpdateWindow();
"RPT_CPU_CATEGORY" is the name of the dialog resource.
The last 3 lines are redundant as they seem to have no effect, they were just my latest effort to try and get the dlg to take the focus. I have also tried using setfocus() (no luck).

A string literal is certainly NOT suitable to select a dialog resource.
[later correction]
A string literal is indeed suitable as a dialog resource.
[/later correction]
Why do you need to give it a dialog resource in the first place? What did you do to the perfectly working class the class wizard made for you?
You should have one class for every dialog resource you designed, and the connection between resource and class is internal to that class (look for IDD in the dialog-class if you are interested).

Why not?
CDialog::Create() is overloaded to accept both UINT and LPCTSTR resource IDs...
I agree that he probably shouldn't be using the resource ID from outside the class, but why can't string literals be used?

Uh-Oh.
Yes.
I have never used this, never seen this being used, so I have skipped the second definition in the MSDN a thousand times.
He can use the name.

I tried using the class the classwizard makes for a dialog. I still get the same problem: I can't set focus to the dialog. As soon as I make the dialog a child window of the main frame I can no longer set focus to it.

I am working on a project that is supposed to mimic Vidcap or AmCap except I am having difficulty figuring out a way to open video in a dialog. Any suggestions?

Does anyone have, or know where I can find, the code that is used to shade the icons on the Windows desktop when the user clicks an icon? I want to use it to shade a bitmap. The bitmap will have a white background that I want to remain unshaded.
Any Ideas?

The normal way of doing it is to add it to an image list and then using the imagelist to draw it with the ILD_SELECTED style (CImageList::Draw() or ImageList_Draw() for Win32). It should work for a bitmap, as long as you create a mask (just use a black-and-white version of the original image) to mask off the areas you don't want shaded. If it shades the wrong part of the image, try inverting the mask (white<->black). I can't remember which way around its supposed to be .
Hope this helps,

1. How do I get text and its font in an object, Excel?
2. How do I read header and footer in word
3. How do I get all text and their own font from text or objects.
Thanks

Hey all,
I went to the launch of VC.NET 2003 in Ottawa a few months back, and during the Visual C++ presentation, we were shown a new feature that would save me a heck of a lot of time, unfortunately, I dont remember how to toggle this guy on or off!
Ok, you have a dialog, which contains a list control for example. There's an option for that control that you could specify that control to resize as the dialog does, without any extra code in your WM_SIZE message. From what I remember, you can specify the control to "hug" to TOP/BOTTOM/LEFT/RIGHT... I've searched high and low through the help and resource editor and I can't seem to find anything.
Our project is Win32, but I created a dummy dialog in VC++, and still no go.. Anyone farmilliar with this guy?
Mike.

That "feature" is only for C# or VB.NET projects. Standard win32/MFC projects don't get this. Of course, I don't have 2003 version, but I don't think they added this. Maybe in a Managed C++ app, but I don't know.

Today I profiled [using Rational Quantify] one of our applications in which a certain action took more and more time. I found the reason of the problem, but also noticed something else very strange.
Although the application runs most of the time in single-threaded mode, it has some actions that run multi-threaded. Therefore, some important datastructures were protected with a CriticalSection.
I noticed that the CriticalSection functions take about 15% of the total CPU time of the application. But there's more.
Consider the following small application:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>
CRITICAL_SECTION Cs;
const long MAX_LOOPS=10000;
main ()
{
InitializeCriticalSection (&Cs);
for (long i=0;i<MAX_LOOPS;i++)
{
EnterCriticalSection (&Cs);
Sleep (1);
LeaveCriticalSection (&Cs);
Sleep (1);
}
DeleteCriticalSection (&Cs);
}
If this program is run through Quantify, it shows the following information:
Function Calls F Time F+D Time F(%) F+D(%) Avg F Min F Max F
mainCRTStartup 1 10617888 12589139 84,34 100,00 10617888 10617888 10617888
.Root. 0 0 12589139 0,00 100,00 0 0 0
.main_0. 0 0 12589139 0,00 100,00 0 0 0
LeaveCriticalSection 10000 1265606 1265606 10,05 10,05 126 71 1186
ExitProcess 1 378351 378351 3,01 3,01 378351 378351 378351
GetModuleHandleA 2 103729 103729 0,82 0,82 51864 1617 102112
GetVersionExA 1 69788 69788 0,55 0,55 69788 69788 69788
GetFileType 3 52111 52111 0,41 0,41 17370 11315 29385
HeapAlloc 40 21896 21896 0,17 0,17 547 239 7388
HeapCreate 1 17844 17844 0,14 0,14 17844 17844 17844
The function LeaveCriticalSection is indeed called 10000 times, but according to this table EnterCriticalSection is nowhere called in the application. There is no trace of the EnterCriticalSection function in the Rational Quantify reports.
It seemed like the compiler optimized EnterCriticalSection away, even if I compile with /Od /Zi. Can anybody explain this?
The second strange thing is that the maximum function time (Max F) of LeaveCriticalSection is much and much larger than the minimum function time (Min F). This means that in lot of cases the function was quite fast, but in some calls, the function was much slower. Can anybody explain this?
Of course simply removing the critical sections makes the application about 10-15% faster, but introduces a big risk when the application performs a multi-threaded action.
Nevertheless I thought that CriticalSections were the fastest way of synchronizing threads.
Does anybody know a method of improving the performance of CriticalSections or can anybody explain why LeaveCriticalSection takes much more time than EnterCriticalSection?
Thanks in advance.

My guess is that the profiler isn't telling the truth. The fact that it isn't showing EnterCriticalSection rings alarm bells. Run the program in the debugger and verify that EnterCriticalSection is indeed being called. It must be. If there is a bottleneck it will be at EnterCriticalSection when another thread has it locked. LeaveCriticalSection should be instantaneous.

I'm trying to compile a Linux game (Freeciv) with visual C++. The project is organized in severall libraries and 2 .EXEs. As it is a gnu cimpilation I would like to modify the sources as few as possible.
I've got a problem because each of the libraries has its sources and headers in a separate folder. Each time I try to compile the main project I've got the "fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'astring.h'" error.
I know I can add those libraries directories to Visual Studio search path by using the Tools | Options | Directory menu. But this setting is for the whole Visual C++ not only for my project.
Is there a way to add those directories to the compiler search path just for a single project ?

well, one simple fix is to put the full path of the files when you include them, ex:
#include "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include\astring.h"
I dont know where astring.h is, but thats what i had to do for a project a few months ago. just put the full path in the include "" things.

Go to Project | Settings | C/C++ | Preprocessor and add the include directory to the "Additional include directories" field. For example, you could add "..\include" (without the quotes).
You can do a similar thing for the .lib files: go to the Link tab, and under Input, add the lib path to "Additional library path".
Tip: if you do either of the above, make sure the project is selected in the tree on the left, not just one file in the project. Also, make sure "All Configurations" are selected in the combobox (although you might have separate libs for debug and release, in which case you will want to do the Link step twice).

Thanks a lot, I've been wondering if it was possible for a long time now - but this afternoon I had no choice since I wanted this gnu project to be as less modified as possible.
Thnaks a lot for the reply

I use m_edit.GetDC()->GetTextMetrics(&tm) to determine current font height. Then i call m_edit.SetFont(&myfont) but GetTextMetrics(&tm) returns old values. How to update DC object?
|
|
|
|

Without seeing more of your code it's hard to say. Please note that each and every call to GetDC() must have a corresponding call to ReleaseDC(). Since you are not saving the return from GetDC(), your code is not releasing the DC properly.
