The project pass compilation without errors or warnings But in run time when the program arrive to this lines I gets message error that performed illegal action and the program will close. Re: Answers Michael P Butler21-Oct-01 10:13 Michael P Butler 21-Oct-01 10:13  In your question you say that you are using an ATL generated Dialog class, but CDialog is an MFC class. Can you post the class defintion so that I can see which kind of framework you are using as I'm getting confused. Michael OH ! excuse me ! misprint! this is realy ATL generated Dialog class! mimi21-Oct-01 10:41 mimi 21-Oct-01 10:41  not CDialog . But your suggestion cause error at compilation: It is not returns CEdit Re: OH ! excuse me ! misprint! this is realy ATL generated Dialog class! Michael P Butler21-Oct-01 10:51 Michael P Butler 21-Oct-01 10:51  My fault too. I only gave you half a story. ATL doesn't support CEdit natively. There are two ways you can get a CEdit control in an ATL dialog. The easiest way is to use the WTL headers that come with the platform sdk or secondly you can read the following knowledge base item http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q223/4/39.ASP Michael Re: Try CWindow!

Because in client program in VC++ I need also :MyATL.h and MyATL_i.c. Register an ActiveX control Daed21-Oct-01 1:08 Daed 21-Oct-01 1:08  I am trying to register my ActiveX control, but it gives me an error of failing under WinNT because i am using an API that needs a special DLL to exist under windows directory and it works only in Win2000 and Win98 platforms. How can I make my control register under WinNT without the need of having this DLL under the system directory? Daed Re: Register an ActiveX control Michael P Butler21-Oct-01 3:05 Michael P Butler 21-Oct-01 3:05  What is the name of the special DLL? If you want the code to work on WintNT you will have to avoid calling the unsupported functions. I usually do this by have a pre-processor define for NT and compiling a special version of my application for NT. Michael Re: Register an ActiveX control Daed21-Oct-01 3:51 Daed 21-Oct-01 3:51  The DLL is Msimg32.dll, i need it because i am using AlphaBlend function in one of my control's property. Is there anything i can do at registry time to solve this problem? Daed Re: Register an ActiveX control Michael Dunn21-Oct-01 8:17 Michael Dunn 21-Oct-01 8:17  You need to link dynamically to the DLL import. Load the DLL with LoadLibrary() and try to get the function's address with GetProcAddress(). If that succeeds, then use the pointer GetProcAddress() returns to call the API. If that returns NULL, then the API is not available. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ "....." -- Silent Bob your with and Re: Register an ActiveX control Daed22-Oct-01 6:28 Daed 22-Oct-01 6:28  Can you give me an example of how i can do this? or may be a link where i can find more explanation about the subject? Thank you Daed About DLL initialization Maer72721-Oct-01 1:05 Maer727 21-Oct-01 1:05  - What means the initialization of a DLL? The function DllMain, or the function LoadLibrary? - My problem arises from the following taken from MSDN (Ti: DllMain) You must not call LoadLibrary in the entry-point function, because you may create dependency loops in the DLL load order. This can result in a DLL being used before the system has executed its initialization code. - After reading the codes, I think LoadLibrary is not the initialization of a Dll. - But what means the initialization of a DLL? - Can you help? Thanks, Maer Re: About DLL initialization Steen Krogsgaard21-Oct-01 23:23 Steen Krogsgaard 21-Oct-01 23:23  Hi Maer, When you wan't to use a DLL in your app you have to load it into your process address space first. This is done by the function LoadLibrary. When LoadLibrary executes it first maps the DLL into the process' address space (this means that if the DLL is already used by another app it is not re-loaded from disk, but setup so the your process can see it in it's own address space). Then it's initialization time! LoadLibrary calls the DllMain function located in the DLL with the dwReason parameter set to DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH. After the DllMain function returns LoadLibrary calls it once again, this time with dwReason set to DLL_THREAD_ATTACH. If both these calls to DllMain succeeds then LoadLibrary returns to your app, giving you the handle to the newly loaded - and initialized - DLL. The problem you're referring to is if you put another LoadLibrary call in your DllMain function. Say your DLL (DllA) is dependent on a second DLL, DllB, which in turn is dependent on DllA again. In DllA's DllMain function a call to LoadLibrary(DllB) is issued. In DllB's DllMain function a function in DllA is executed. Since DllA is loaded there's no problem in calling the function, but since the DllA is not yet initialized there may be some data that the called function uses that is not set up properly (e.g. MFC state data . To summarize: LoadLibray performs two tasks: One is to do the physical loading of the DLL (loading from disk, linking all the exported functions), the other is to initialize the DLL. Initialization consists of calling DllMain twice, once with DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH and once with DLL_THREAD_ATTACH. Cheers Steen. "To claim that computer games influence children is rediculous.

Thanks, Maer Re: a very very simple question about DllMain Steen Krogsgaard21-Oct-01 23:33 Steen Krogsgaard 21-Oct-01 23:33  This means that any call to DllMain is completed before a new call can be processed. Imagine you have two threads in your app. Both threads call LoadLibray(YourDLL). If these calls occur concurrently then you could imagine the following scenario: Thread A calls LoadLibrary which calls DllMain with a DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH. During the execution of DllMain the thread is preemted by Thread B, that also calls LoadLibrary which also calls DllMain with a DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH. Now you have two threads that are executing the same piece of code in DllMain concurrently, and this means you'd have to be careful when writing the code to avoid any concurrency issues. What MDSN tells you is that Windows will halt the call from Thread B until the call from Thread A has finalized. Cheers Steen. P.S. Your mail adress still bounces. I get a "Domain not found" error ?!? "To claim that computer games influence children is rediculous.

All that really needs to happen is that it is copied to a specified folder then registered. Has anyone got any ideas Cheers Peter Re: Distributing a DLL Michael P Butler21-Oct-01 3:11 Michael P Butler 21-Oct-01 3:11  Well a good old fashioned batch file might work. echo off copy mydll.dll c:\windows\system /y regsvr32 mydll.dll I do this a lot when I'm distributing applications that are used in house. Just run the batch file and the dll is installed. Michael Re: Distributing a DLL Michael Dunn21-Oct-01 8:21 Michael Dunn 21-Oct-01 8:21  ewww, never copy anything into \windows\system. Take an extra 10 seconds of typing and make a directory under \Program Files (that's what Program Files is there for). --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ "....." -- Silent Bob your with and Re: Distributing a DLL Michael P Butler21-Oct-01 8:22 Michael P Butler 21-Oct-01 8:22  sorry, I was just using it as an example copy command.

How o i enable/gray menu items? thanx Kuniva Re: graying/enabling menu items in an MFC dialog Christian Graus21-Oct-01 1:20 Christian Graus 21-Oct-01 1:20  In class wizard you click on the items ID and you get two options, the first is for clicking on the item, the second is basically a callback called just before a menu item is shown. If you override it, you will get a pointer to that one item passed into the function, and you can do whatever you want to it there, by defining a function that will disable your item ( for example ) based on whatever criteria you want to decicde if it is disabled or enabled. You can also check/uncheck, rename, etc. the item here. Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet.

Re: graying/enabling menu items in an MFC dialog Kuniva21-Oct-01 1:25 Kuniva 21-Oct-01 1:25  eh yeh, i kinda figured that out, but do you know what function i can use to disable/gray/enable it? Because EnableMenuItem() needs a HMENU parameter and i dont have that because the menu is purely resource based or can i get a HMENU identifier for the menu with another function? Kuniva Re: graying/enabling menu items in an MFC dialog Christian Graus21-Oct-01 10:01 Christian Graus 21-Oct-01 10:01  The pointer coming in to that function is all you need - it has methods like enable, settext, setcheck. So you just operate on the CCmdUI pointer passed in to the function. Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet.
