I would like to be able to highlight a section of a graph, very similar to audio programs highlighting a wav pattern by using the mouse. Any ideas?

Thanks

You can draw a rectangle area, the "selection", in XOR; look for CDC::SetRop2.

you also need to handle the mouse down, move and up to start and manage the drawing.

Help for Toggling toolbar buttons

Hi
I would like to know how to make a toolbar button toggle. For example, in MDI if there are two child windows and corresponding buttons on the toolbar for them, if the button

is clicked once then the child window should appear and when it is clicked for the second time the child window should dissappear. Please help me regarding this. This is urgent.

Thanking you,
Regards
Ruchit Sharma. R

Add a Handler for ON_COMMAND_UI (Toolbar Button)

void CMainFrame::OnMY_SNAZZYButton(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)
{
    pCmdUI->SetCheck(..1 for check , 2 for uncheck...);
}

Hope it Helps Smile | :)

MDI Problem!

I generated a FormView Dialog in a MDI, I can use a item in Menu to active and display the dialog, however, when I click the MINIMIZEDBOX on the dialog, it will disappear, and I can't find it back ever.

I must say this dialog didn't destroy normally!

What should I do , do you meet with this kind of problem?

Declaring a global variable of a template type

Hi there

I am writing a program to use linked lists using templates, and i am trying to make it as fast as possible, so i am thinking of storing the address of the last inserted item.
Each node of the list if declared as follows:

template <class ItemType>
struct NodeList
{
ItemType *item;
NodeList<ItemType> *next;
}

what i am trying to do is to declare a global variable like

template <class ItemType>
NodeList<ItemType> *last_inserted=NULL;

, but the compiler won't allow me to do that. If instead i declare it as
NodeList<<int>> *last_inserted=NULL, it is ok, but it would work for integers only.

How can I get this to work???

Thanks

Have you thought about using the STL to do this? It does exactly what you need, is about as fast as you can get, and most importantly, it works without you needing to re-invent something. An example can be found here[^].

If you really must create your own linked list, then there is no need to use a global (which is a bad thing to do anyway) for the next position. Instead, store it in the class that provides the list operations.

DirectSound - Window Handle problem

elza8-Jan-04 0:31

I have an UI based application designed using DirectSOund to capture nad playback voice. But teh problem is that it expects the UI window to be on top and on focus always. Presently I am passing the handle to the main UI application so when i minimize it our bring another application on top of this no audio can be heard though capturing takes place.

Presently I am setting DSSCL_PRIORITY in SetCooperativelevel. I have also tried the other levels....NORMAL, etc.

anybody worked on DirectSound ?Any solution to this ??

The first snippet is just wrong - you're overwriting the actual pointer to the memory block, which causes delete[] to simply do nothing in release mode. There's probably an assert in debug mode to tell you that you're trying to delete a null pointer.

If your debug mode is telling you about a problem, you should probably listen. Release mode doesn't do as much checking. Could you be corrupting this pointer somehow?

It would help if you posted the error message(s).

I wish to elaborate on what mike said.

char* pCharPointer = new char[intLength]; // pCharPointer now contians an address like 0x50FC3456

pCharPointer = NULL; // pCharPointer now contians 0x00000000

delete [] pCharPointer; // does nothing and is still a valid call

char* pCharPointer = new char[intLength]; // pCharPointer now contians an address like 0x50FC3456

delete [] pCharPointer; // frees/releases memory
delete [] pCharPointer; // error - already free
pCharPointer = NULL; // pCharPointer now contians 0x00000000
delete [] pCharPointer; // does nothing and is still a valid call

Application A is mine, application B is not mine. Application B has an icon
in the status bar.
With application A i would like to send messages, like WM_KEYDOWN or right
button click, to appliaction B via its icon on the status bar.
It is possible?

thanks a lot

Get the HWND of Application B
and use ..
SendMessage(hWnd_B,WM_KEYDOWN,....);

To Get The HWND of B application USE
FindWindow

Sure,
but the problem is the HWND from FindWindow is the handle of main application B. If application uses another window associates to at the icon on th status bar? the window that manages messages from mouse (right click and so on)...
the HWND of the main application B cannot be the same the window that do this.

can help me some shell functions for this?
