By sending a window a WM_GETTEXT message, you risk entering a deadlock state if that window is in a blocked state (i.e., its message pump is not processing messages). I'm not saying that will happen to you here, but it is something you need to consider.

You should try the excellent Spy++ tool which comes with visual studio. It's called spyxx.exe, and it lets you inspect any window. Just hit ALT+F3 when it's started, and a dialog with blue/white icon will show up. Just drag the icon onto any window it'll highlight the window you selected in the tree view. Double click the treeview item or right click it. You can even spy on window messages for any window which is really handy sometimes. Have fun exploring! Smile | :)

How to programmatically show and hide Windows XP destktop icons?

I have seen this done in a program I don't remember which, where the program woud allow you though and option to show or hide all icons on the desktop.

You can accomplish this manually in WinXP by right clicking on the desktop and selecting
Arrange Icons By | Show Desktop icons.

I have searched everywhere Smile | :)

and how not found any info on the subject.

So, please how do you do this programmatically?

Thanks,

Hai,
I'm new to C++.I'm declaring a function and using it in main.cpp. If I want to use that function in my class say class1.cpp..how should I do that.
Thanks.

Hello,

If you want to associate the function with the class, exemple use data members from the class without passing them as arguments, make the funtion a member function of the class:

<br />
class A<br />
{<br />
public: <br />
  void YourFunction();<br />
};<br />

If you want to call that function from a member function (say constructor) you can do this (there's nothing special about it...)

<br />
// in the implementation file (*.cpp)<br />
A::A()<br />
{<br />
  YourFunction();<br />
}<br />

Hope this helps..

Hai ..
Thanks o lot..but i think my question is different ..I'm declaring the function in main.
it's somewhat like this..
void myfuntion()
main()
{
..
myfunction();
}
myfunction()
{
...
}
class A
{
public:
void mysecondfunc();
}
void A::mysecondfunc()
{
myfunction(); --->if I use like this it is giving error identifier undeclared, not found
}

how should resolve this..
Thanks again.

Hello,

In that case, you simply need to declare the function before you use it. The most common case would be in a header file. The implementation is done in the corresponding .cpp file. For exemple:
Consider your function MyFunc, in the header file (say MyHeader.h) you declare the function like this: void MyFunc();
You define the function in the implementation file say MyFunc.cpp like this:

<br />
void MyFunc()<br />
{<br />
  // do something<br />
}<br />

Whenever you want to use MyFunc, just include MyFunc.h at the top of the file where you use the function.

You probably still have a prototype at the top of main.cpp. If that is the case, delete the prototype and replace it with a #include statement instead.

You'll then need to modify the .h file so that it gets included only once. Check out the .h files that ClassWizard produces to see the directives that are used.

Hi,

I used next code:

<br />
			if(labMask.hideemptyrows == true){<br />
				mc_hideemptyrows.SetCheck(BST_CHECKED);<br />
				OnCheckHideemptyrows();<br />
			}									//end if<br />
			else{<br />
				mc_hideemptyrows.SetCheck(BST_UNCHECKED);<br />
			}									//end else<br />

strange thing is: when labMask.hideemptyrows = true, the "else" statement is performed !!!
if I do this:
if(labMask.hideemptyrows){ ... }
then it works fine.

Can anyone tell me why this is?

tnx.

(oh btw labMask.hideemptyrows is of type bool)

What type is hideemptyrows? Using a breakpoint at the if(...) statement, what value does it have?

I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago, and finally realized that I was stepping through the code in 'Release' mode. So the values it was giving me weren't correct. You may not be doing the same thing, but just to make sure, check and see if you're in debug mode while stepping through.

Never ever compare for equality with true or TRUE. Always do if (labMask.hideemptyrows). The reason is that, even with a bool variable, there's nothing stopping the variable from getting values other than 0 or 1. When you compare against true, the test will fail if the bool got some value other than 1.

Tnx for your reply.

However I do not agree on this one:
1. a BOOL is an "Integer", a bool a "Boolean" (true or false)
so it can't get another value then true or false. Can it?
2. even after casting (bool)labMask.hideemptyrows the if statement returned false (we saw it in the quickwatch window)
3. although I see your point (especially for BOOLs) I find it more readable to compare against true or false (you see instandly what type your variable is)

So idd if the bool class can have other values then true or false I see your point, but why use the bool and not the BOOL? (surely not memory?)

Personally I think the compiler is broken or something Smile | :)

overriding a control's virtual functions

BlackDice20-Sep-04 4:09

20-Sep-04 4:09

I'm using Chris Maunder's MFC Grid control in a personal project and I'd like to override a virtual function:

virtual void OnFixedColumnClick(CCellID& cell);

I've made a derived class and everything seems to be working right except that I want to override that function so that I can set a different compare function if the column clicked is the one that has dates in it. None of the virtual functions show up in classwizard, and I'm trying to figure out if I do it manually, how to put this in the message map so that I can get this message. I know this is something that I should know how to do, but some days I'm dumber than others. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

you simply redefine the method in your new class.

something like :

clas YourClass
{
...
  virtual void OnFixedColumnClick(CCellID& cell);
}
...

void YourClass::OnFixedColumnClick(CCellID& cell)
{
 // do something
 ChrisMaunderGridBaseClass::OnFixedColumnClick(cell);
}

Mac Address

Hi
My computer is on LAN. I know my IP address. How can I get the corresponding MAC address, to which the particular IP is bound to ? ( if I have more than one ethernet card)

I have tried Netbios, GetAdaptersInfo etc.

Is there any solution for this, something similar to GetAdaptersInfo which will work in windows NT also. ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Thankyou all..
I tried these methods..all the three, netbios, GetIpNetTable(), GetAdapterInfo().
These are the problems I am facing:-
Netbios: I am not able to find MAC if there are more than one LAN card and multiple IP set for each card.
GetIpNetTable: Doesnt give me the particular MAC address of a IP Address.
GetAdapterInfo: Not supported in Windows NT

Is there anything Like GetAdapterInfo that will work in all windows platform ?

Thanks in advance
