You can use Project>Add To Project>Components And Controls>Visual C++ Components>Splitter Bar.
This option will add you a spliter in your project....
You need to Know that after that you will must to have two views, the left view and the right view.

I know you might what to kill me now, but I get the message:
Cannot find any classes derived from CFrameWnd. Your project must have a CFrameWnd-derived class on order to insert splitter bars.
What does that mean? Also what I am trying to make it in is MFC dialog based. Is that wrong?

I need to say you that I'm sorry, that is the problem. 
You need to do your application SDI or MDI, but you are working with a Dialog Application.
I think that the best you can make is build your own spplit for a dialog, I think that if you work with a couple of lines, the mouse, drawing and sizing some controls and a little of pattience you can emulate the spplit control over a Dialog....
For example.
You can work with a listbox and a Edit box, one a side of the other, if you do a meke control of the mouse you can resize the Controls and you will be emulating the spplit control....
Best Regards!!!

Thanks anyway.
I know this is a lot to ask from you or anyone, but can you make the program for me with some examples? I don't expect it, but it is worth a shot isn't it.

i have a keyboard filter function:
LRESULT CALLBACK KbHookProc(int, WPARAM, LPARAM);
and a global variable:
for example, HWND hWnd;
then i set the value of the variable...
but my function doesn't see this value and in this function hWnd is NULL
why? 
|
|
|
|

It's difficult to understand your exact problem. It looks to me like you have a global variable named hWnd but then you also have a local one of the same name. Please post some code so we can help you better.

Hello, the codegurus around the world.;)
If you use Window API's PostMessage, you have to pass the window handle called
HWND.
If this HWND is NULL (0), this Window isn't created yet.
That is, PostMessage function will not post this message.
So, maybe you had better use if (hWnd), and use PostMessage Windows API function
inside callback function?
Have a nice day!

I think you should try a GetParent function wich is suppose to return the CWind* of the parent window. You can also have the hwind with (GetParent())->m_hWind

If There's a define or that, which I don't have in any of the include
files of VC, and that the help file doesn't say that I must have any
particular version of shell32.dll; should the default UI for
SHBrowseForFolder have a "new folder dialog" ?!?!!?
I'm a bit confused about the help for that shell function ...

You'll need to download the Platform SDK to get the latest header files. See the VC Forum FAQ (link at the top of the page) for more details.

Go to your MSDN CDs, or msdn.microsoft.com (typing URL from memory) and get the latest SDK for the windows shell. It'll replace your shlobj.h file and provide the new values that you need to have defined.
You might also have to add WINVER=0x0400 in your settings - if you are using a feature that says Version 0.4 - you want 0x0400 for 5 you want WINVER=0x0500
I was puzzled by this too at first. FYI you can just plug in the values instead of relying on the defines and you'll be okay.
Hope this helps:
#define BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS 0x0001 // For finding a folder to start document searching
#define BIF_DONTGOBELOWDOMAIN 0x0002 // For starting the Find Computer
#define BIF_STATUSTEXT 0x0004 // Top of the dialog has 2 lines of text for BROWSEINFO.lpszTitle and one line if
// this flag is set. Passing the message BFFM_SETSTATUSTEXTA to the hwnd can set the
// rest of the text. This is not used with BIF_USENEWUI and BROWSEINFO.lpszTitle gets
// all three lines of text.
#define BIF_RETURNFSANCESTORS 0x0008
#define BIF_EDITBOX 0x0010 // Add an editbox to the dialog
#define BIF_VALIDATE 0x0020 // insist on valid result (or CANCEL)
#define BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE 0x0040 // Use the new dialog layout with the ability to resize
// Caller needs to call OleInitialize() before using this API
#define BIF_USENEWUI (BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE | BIF_EDITBOX)
#define BIF_BROWSEINCLUDEURLS 0x0080 // Allow URLs to be displayed or entered. (Requires BIF_USENEWUI)
#define BIF_UAHINT 0x0100 // Add a UA hint to the dialog, in place of the edit box. May not be combined with BIF_EDITBOX
#define BIF_NONEWFOLDERBUTTON 0x0200 // Do not add the "New Folder" button to the dialog. Only applicable with BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE.
#define BIF_NOTRANSLATETARGETS 0x0400 // don't traverse target as shortcut
#define BIF_BROWSEFORCOMPUTER 0x1000 // Browsing for Computers.

I want to scan a file in binary mode looking for a string. What's the best way to accomplish this with STL? I'm looking for something that will handle buffered input instead of reading a byte at a time.

In the continuing saga of me trying to solve a release build problem with CButtonSSL.
I have recently noticed during debuggin that parental class information is not available beyond the immediate parent in the variables window. So I can see the member data for the control itself and I can navigate through the tree to the parent COddButton, but beyond that (CButton and then CWnd) are not available and the Watch window won't allow me to cast up the inheritance tree beyond COddButton.
Any thoughts or suggestions? How on earth is this happening?
One other thing I've noticed is that when the offending code is called in CWnd that tries to dereference an invalid m_pCtrlSite (should be NULl but isn't) the window handle and value for this in the debug window aren't particularly valid either, i.e. values like 0x00000403 for this.

From your last paragraph I gather that you have some memory corruption going on somewhere in your code. You may try setting a conditional breakpoint to stop when the address of m_pCtrlSite changes (from NULL to 0x00000403). This should help you pinpoint where the memory is being overwritten.
There are a couple of articles here in CodeProject that may help you debug your code better in Release mode.
Good luck!

Alvaro,
Thanks for replying, it has been difficult trying to get some help with this problem.

I'm almost certain that this is happening, but I can't track down how or why. For example, in the DrawItem override for CButtonSSL there is a call to GetWindowText, which is obviously a CWnd function. When I step through the code everything appears to be fine in CButtonSSL (except that I can't expand the variable tree in the variables window above the COddButton parent), but then when I step into GetWindowText, the value for this, which is now the CWnd, is something like 0x00000403 and it is at this point that m_pCtrlSite is not NULL.
Alvaro Mendez wrote:

It has not been possible to set an advanced breakpoint of this nature (and believe me I've tried for many hours  ) because it doesn't like trying to cast the expression beyond a COddButton.
I have looked at the articles you mentioned. CP was the first place I looked.
Any more ideas?

OK, let's explore the conditional breakpoint route which is probably your best bet.
You can set a conditional breakpoint using the address of m_pCtrlSite.
1. When you're stepping through the code and you have m_pCtrlSite in scope, copy it to the watch window and add an ampersand in front of it: "&m_pCtrlSite".
2. This will give you its address. Now copy that to the clipboard.
3. Open the Breakpoints window and click on the Data tab.
4. Paste the address in there and press OK.
5. If m_pCtrlSite is already corrupt at this point, restart the program, otherwise continue it.
Hopefully you'll hit this breakpoint at the point of corruption and you'll get some clues. If not, try posting some code here to get a second (or more) pair of eyes looking at it.

Alvaro

Alvaro,
Thank you very much for your help with this problem.
Having followed your suggested steps and through my own further examination it would seem that the problem lies in some corruption further up the chain. At the point where the crash occurs the address of m_pCtrlSite has changed, hence the invalid value.
I have managed to come up with some steps that will always reproduce the problem:
1. Create a dialog-based application using ClassWizard (accept the default values).
2. Add the files OddButton.h/.cpp and ButtonSSL.h/.cpp to the project (these files can be found in the source code from the article).
3. Add a check box to the dialog and add a control member variable for it.
4. Change the type of the member variable to CButtonSSL and add #include "ButtonSSL.h" to the dialog class.
5. In the OnInitDialog override in the dialog class, add a call to SetCheck (1) for the CButtonSSL member variable.
6. Build a release build and execute.
Upon execution an unhandled exception will occur following the call to GetWindowText in DrawItem.
If a breakpoint is set at the call to SetCheck (1) then you can see that the data for the member variable is fine and that m_pCtrlSite is NULL as it should be.
However, following the call to SetCheck I believe the dialog is told to redraw itself and it then tells the button to redraw itself. In the CWnd::DrawItem function there is a call to ReflectLastMsg. Using the evaluation of Mutek's BugTrapper tool it indicates that the value passed in as the first parameter to ReflectLastMsg (HWND hWndChild) is a bad pointer.
I don't know how it knows this or why it is a bad pointer, but I suspect that the problem lies here. If it's reflecting the message to the wrong thing then it's bound to crash!
If you can explain to me why this is happening and more importantly how to fix it I will be eternally grateful (and you will of course get a mention when the article update is posted

Alvaro,
With some help from Joseph Newcomer I have at last come to the end of this problem.
The event handler for BM_SETCHECK, OnCetCheck did not include both parameters (WPARAM and LPARAM). I'm not quite sure why, but the exclusion of this unused parameter was causing all the problems.
Thanks for all your help.

Hello,
I want to make a dialog based application that requires the user to enter a username and password to enter.
So in the constructor of the Dialog box class of my application I create a child dialog login box. What I want to do is that if the user presses Cancel on the child login box, then the Application ends.
So to do this do I need to call the OnCancel method of the parent dialog box?
if yes then how do I call it?
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks,
Mike.

You need to get the value that returns the Dialog.
In DoModal returns the Identificator of the button that the user presed.
For Ok returns IDOK for Cancel returns IDCANCEL.
You must to put this function in the OnInitDialog()....
Is easy....
Best Regards!!!!
Carlos Antollini.

You should do that in OnInitDialog() instead, because at that time the first dialog is created but not yet shown.
BOOL CMainDialog::OnInitDialog()
{
CPasswordDialog pwdDlg;
if ( IDCANCEL == pwdDlg.DoModal() )
EndDialog(IDCANCEL);
...
}

Shall I create the child dialog box in the constructor of the Main Dialog box or in the OnInitDialog?
When I created it in the OnInitDialog then after I closed the Main Dialog Box I could still see the image of the child dialog box (not the box though).
This does not happen when I create the child dialog box in the constructor of the Main Dialog Box.
Any explanations?

Hello.
Printing again. The problem is how to position printer in order to get somehow precise output. For example: How to draw a frame which is equally distant from the edges of a page?, or how to draw division lines: vertical and horizontal in such a way that they divide an a4 page into two parts (more or less equal parts)?
At this time beeing I obtained less precise results (still,something is wrong) while using GetDeviceCaps & PHYSICALWIDTH(HEIGHT), PHYSICALOFFSETX(Y), but it produces different outputs (more or less accurate), depending on a printer (hp 1220 and 690).
PS. I have also used the pInfo->m_rectDraw rect but, it didn't print out the boundaries (the rectangle was to large to fit the printable area).
PLEASE, anyone able to help ?

It will be different depending on the selected printer and the resolution selected on it. You size to the printers parameters. Using GetDeviceCaps gives you all you need to calculate your graphic size or text formating.
HORZSIZE Width, in millimeters, of the physical screen.
VERTSIZE Height, in millimeters, of the physical screen.
NUMFONTS Number of device-specific fonts. Use printer matched fonts if possible (though most are good anyway).
ASPECTX Relative width of a device pixel used for line drawing.
ASPECTY Relative height of a device pixel used for line drawing.
ASPECTXY Diagonal width of the device pixel used for line drawing
PHYSICALWIDTH For printing devices: the width of the physical page, in device units. For example, a printer set to print at 600 dpi on 8.5"x11" paper has a physical width value of 5100 device units. Note that the physical page is almost always greater than the printable area of the page, and never smaller.
PHYSICALHEIGHT For printing devices: the height of the physical page, in device units. For example, a printer set to print at 600 dpi on 8.5"x11" paper has a physical height value of 6600 device units. Note that the physical page is almost always greater than the printable area of the page, and never smaller.
PHYSICALOFFSETX For printing devices: the distance from the left edge of the physical page to the left edge of the printable area, in device units. For example, a printer set to print at 600 dpi on 8.5"x11" paper, that cannot print on the leftmost 0.25" of paper, has a horizontal physical offset of 150 device units.
PHYSICALOFFSETY For printing devices: the distance from the top edge of the physical page to the top edge of the printable area, in device units. For example, a printer set to print at 600 dpi on 8.5"x11" paper, that cannot print on the topmost 0.5" of paper, has a vertical physical offset of 300 device units
If your using the CPrintDialog then LPDEVMODE GetDevMode( ) will get you all the information you want in one go.
But the point is, that you must scale to printed page in much the same way as you do for the screen and each of its modes.
Experiment with the DEVMODE structure, what you will find is that you can scale text/graphics by the pel size, so that with a function such as
(xpos-ypos in mm or points)
PrintMyTextOnPaperAndBanLongFunctionNamesToo(xpos,ypos,LPCTSTR Text)
You can get accurate printing to 1/10th mm
We do it for the joy of seeing the users struggle.
