How do I get this is in WTL? I have tried looking for something similar to AfxGetInstanceHandle() but can find anything???

I remember reading somewhere that WTL does not destroy an object that is attached to it. Does this mean when I attach an HIMAGELIST to a CImageList using Attach() and that CImageList object goes out of scope I have to manually remove or delete the HIMAGELIST or destroy HWND or whatever?
The reason I ask I have two CImageList objects inside a class and both get initialized during WM_CREATE. However frequently, one of the CIMageList objects has to be re-created so what I do is
Detach() each CImageList object
Create image list from system image list
Attach() it to CImageList
Set the image list to control like Listview
In the destructor of my CListCtrl() should I destroy the objects HIMAGELIST?
Thanks

Thats what I thought, but does this mean then that the HIMAGELIST handle is left floating around?
Wouldn't this waste or cause memory leaks of any kind or are these objects destroyed when your application ends?
I'm curious basically becuz I have 2 functions, one which initializes an CImageList by attaching it to the system HIMAGELIST returned by SHGetFileinfo, but before attaching I always do a Detach. I figure I would be a bad idea to Destroy() this image list? I do however Detach again in destructor. My second function doesn't use the system image list but rather initializes it with icons I have collected. So I Destroy, then Create and Destroy() again inside destructor.
In MFC I've always assumed that destructor took care of everything? 
Thanks

Yes, but...

No, because when your process exits, all memory and resources it was using go away too (memory gets reclaimed by the OS). However, it's still good practice to not be sloppy, and properly free/destroy/delete resources in your cleanup code.
If you want a class that destroys the image list in the destructor, check out this page[^]

Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
I think so Brain, but if we shaved our heads, we'd look like weasels!

although most WTL classes take care of releasing the object they manage (if they manage it), CImageList is a sore exception. I guess it is not an ideal world! Perhaps it is because imagelists have window semantics and as "windows" you need to destroy them manually
To answer your question, yes you should destroy all imagelists you create yourself, ideally at the moment you no longer require them. However the "system" imagelist returned by SHGetFileInfo is a shared resource which you needn't (shouldn't in 9x) destroy
most of the other WTL classes have a managed and unmanaged "flavor". E.g. you have CBitmap and CBitmapHandle; the first is managed, destroying the bitmap whenever it goes out of scope, the second is meant for temporary assignments.

I created a rich edit control with ES_MULTILINE | ES_WANTRETURN in CComCompositeControl dialog.
I am able to edit text but pressing Enter key has no effect.

I need to implement drag & drop feature support to composite control. My Composite Control contains Tree control and list view controls, i need to drag the list view control data and drop into the Tree view control. Please send me some samples and necessary information to implement the same.

Hi:
I´m trying to use WTL in an AX control. With previous ATL version you just needed to change CComModule to CAppModule. But now that CComModule was splitted this doesn´t work anymore.
What else should i change???
Thanks

I have a class like this that wraps the webbrowser
template <typename T><br />
class IEHost : public IDispEventSimpleImpl<1, IEHost<T>, &__uuidof(DWebBrowserEvents2)><br />
{<br />
...<br />
BEGIN_SINK_MAP(IEHost)<br />
SINK_ENTRY_INFO(1, __uuidof(DWebBrowserEvents2), 259, DocumentComplete, &DocumentCompleteInfo)<br />
SINK_ENTRY_INFO(1, __uuidof(DWebBrowserEvents2), 250, BeforeNavigate2, &BeforeNavigate2Info)<br />
SINK_ENTRY_INFO(1, __uuidof(DWebBrowserEvents2), 102, StatusTextChange, &StatusTextChangeInfo)<br />
END_SINK_MAP()<br />
...<br />
}
And an atl dialog class that uses it
class StartDlg : public CAxDialogImpl<StartDlg> ,<br />
public CStrDlg<StartDlg>,<br />
public CDialogResize<StartDlg>,<br />
public IEHost<StartDlg><br />
{<br />
}
This compiled fine with VC6, but with VC7
i get this error.
I tried all i can think of to get it to compile but with no luck.
Anyone knows how to get it to work in VC7
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\atlmfc\include\atlcom.h(4016): error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'const ATL::_ATL_EVENT_ENTRY<T> *' to 'const ATL::_ATL_EVENT_ENTRY<T> *'<br />
with<br />
[<br />
T=IEHost<StartDlg><br />
]<br />
and<br />
[<br />
T=StartDlg<br />
]

Don't know, I don't have all info, but just wild shot - try:
<br />
template <typename T><br />
class IEHost : public IDispEventSimpleImpl<1, T, &__uuidof(DWebBrowserEvents2)><br />
{<br />
...<br />
BEGIN_SINK_MAP(T)<br />
...<br />
}<br />
Then it should at least compile 
|
|
|
|

No, dont compile then either, i get 21 errors on the BEGIN_SINK_MAP/SINK_ENTRY_INFO macros. 
Tried changing those params every way that seems somewhat resonable with no luck.

There is a saying in statistics that a million monkeys pounding on typewriters would eventually create a work of Shakespeare. Thanks to the Internet, we now know that this is not true.

No, that dont make any difference.
Found what it was, ATL7 have added an AdviseEventSink() call in
OnInitdialog() so i got sinked from the wrong class.
Should be possible to get a callstack on the freakin template errors..

Hi,
The ActiveX control may be used in several occasions simultaneously within one process, but all the control instances are the same one. This is not what I expected,
I think there is some wrong with the project setup, but I do not no where. Can you give me some advice.
Thanks in advance!
|

|

Never heard about - they reside in the same dll (of course) that is loaded once to the process = they share the static parts and global variables , but the instances are always created by the new operator using the class factory.
Only think you can do is to change the class factory from standard to some singletone implementation, but this cannot be done accidentally or through some project setting AFAIK...
Can you be more specific?
|
|
|
|
|
I have some wise of the problem,it is because I implemented all the interfaces in the header file.
And there is another question, can I restrict the sharing
of the global variables?
Tnank you!
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry for delay, I had to travel a bit.
Hmm, only way how to restrict sharing of global variables is to... well... make them non-global

Say I have a COM object that I want to create inside a library, modify something internally and then pass it on to something externally would the folling seem an okay thing to do in ATL:
IThingy *pIThingy NULL;
HRESULT hr = CThingy::CreateInstance(IID_IThingy, &pIThingy);
if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
CThingy *pThingy = dynamic_cast<CThingy*>(pIThingy);
if(pThingy)
{
pThingy->SomeInternalMemberFunction();
}
}
What I'm worried about is casting from an interface pointer to the internal class. Is this okay, or if not why?
It works, most of the time, but when you enable things like #define _ATL_DEBUG_INTERFACES in stdafx.h, then the address acrording to the this pointer internaly to the CThingy instance no longer matches pIThingy that is returned from CreateInstance. Very worrying. Seems to be offset by about 8 bytes.

|

Doing such things is in total violation of COM and will not work properly.

I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

You're going down the inheritance tree (IThingy to CThingy) which puts the responsibility on you to make sure it's safe. If you go the other way, up the tree, it's always safe by C++ language rules:
CComObject<CThingy>* pThingy;
if ( FAILED( CComObject<CThingy>::CreateInstance ( &pThingy ) ))
return NULL;
pThingy->AddRef();
pThingy->SomeInternalStuff();
return (IThingy*) pThingy;CComObject is the most-derived class, derived from CThingy, which is derived from IThingy.

I think it is best we use the QueryInterface() for that.
I also have a question for you guys. How about the reverse? If I already have a pointer to the interface, how can I safely cast it back to the ATL COM class?
I have tried this:
CComObject<cthingy>* pThingy = (CComObject<cthingy>*)pItfThingy;
But the address of the class pThingy is moved back 4 bytes from the original adress, plus the addresses of the internal member variables are skipped one ahead?
It is great if you can help me out here. Thanks in advance.
