Here is where the breakdown starts:
void CDocManager::OnFileOpen()
{
// prompt the user (with all document templates)
CString newName;
if (!DoPromptFileName(newName, AFX_IDS_OPENFILE,
OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST, TRUE, NULL))
return; // open cancelled
AfxGetApp()->OpenDocumentFile(newName);
// if returns NULL, the user has already been alerted
}
What's happening is the newName variable is getting a piece of data in it that is in one of my dropdown boxes. It's confusing because it has the data in it immediately after the variable declaration statement is executed. So, right after "CString newName;", the newName variable has some data in it and that seems to be the cause of the problem. I'm not sure how the data is getting there or why it is there right after the variable is declared, but... Any thoughts?

I have had this happen before, and it was usually a header file mismatch, which lead to a binary mismatch, or a debugging info mismatch.
The header files used to build the app do not match the LIBs and/or DLLs used to link and run the app. If your project builds/uses a few different custom DLLs, then there may be a mismatch between the ones that you have, and the ones that your app is expecting to import from at runtime.
A mismatch in your debugging information would cause your editor's "current instruction" pointer to point to code that you are not actually in.
Peace!

Hi,
I have got a problem with a popup menu that I have created in a CDialogBar.
The menu item is grayed out when the menu is displayed.
I use the same approach for some buttons, but there the menu item is enabled.
Am I doing something wrong, or is there a way to enable the menu item?
Cheers,
/Fredrik

That could probably be because the menu-item handlers dont exist in the context. Like perhaps you have put them in a view, which is not valid when you show the popup menu, as the focus is on the control bar. Try putting the handlers in the frame window class

It works if I put the handler in the frame window class, although I do not quite understand why.
What I am trying to do, is to encapsulate the menu item handler in my derived toolbar class. I handle the WM_RBUTTONDOWN message in the toolbar class to display the menu.
How do I do everything from the toolbar class?
Cheers,

Because, by default, if you do not setup an ON_COMMAND* handler for a command, it will be disabled. You also might want to look into how command routing works, so as to understand the order that is used when searching for a Command Handler.

Why the functions GetWindowsDirectory(), GetSystemDirectory() and GetTempPath() failed on Windows XP? The returned folders are 'c:\abc', 'c:\abc\system\123' and 'c:\abc\temppath\123'

Gosh!!
That is sure funny! 
I am sorry, I can't help you there as I havent used XP yet.
But couldnt resist posting this one as I am laughing so hard my stomach muscles hurt

Of course they don't exist...

Then there is something wrong with your code or perhaps some virus has totally messed up your machine

I tried this eagerly anticipating the results, but was disapointed to find my Windows XP installation does not share yours sense of humor:
E:\WINDOWS
E:\WINDOWS\System32
E:\DOCUME~1\Joshua\LOCALS~1\Temp\
Post the code you used, or the smallest possible snippit that illustrates the effect you're getting, pls.

The code is listed below. I think there are no tricks to use these functions. If you wish I may send you a jpg screen shot of Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 (Service Pack 5) in a debug session showing the value of variable 'szdir' after call GetSystemDirectory()...
I am sure I am not crazy... 
I am using "Microsoft Windows XP Professional( Build 2600 )", with AVG 6.0 Anti-Virus System resident (Virus Database 174, Release Date 2/1/2002)
CString sWindowsFolder,
sSystemFolder,
sTempFolder;
char szDir[ MAX_PATH ];
GetSystemDirectory( szDir, sizeof( szDir ) );
sSystemFolder = szDir;
GetWindowsDirectory( szDir, sizeof( szDir ) );
sWindowsFolder = szDir;
GetTempPath( sizeof( szDir ), szDir );
sTempFolder = szDir;

What are the return values for the functions? Do they return the correct length, or do they return 0.

The return value when "szdir = c:\abc\SYSTEMDIR\123" is 20, the correct length. The function didn't fail...

I found the real cause of the problem...
I am executing the 'Application Verifier 2.3' included in "Microsoft Windows XP Application Compatibility Toolkit 2.0" distributed by Microsoft at "http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?URL=/downloads/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/027/001/685/msdncompositedoc.xml".
The 'Application Verifier' is configured to verify my app.
When I removed my app from 'Application Verifier' the problem disappeared...
If anyone wish to check this 'dead-brain' situation...
Thanks for all funny replies.

Please tell me how to transfer files from a nds through the internet via the ldap protocol. I am able to get the attributes from an objekt but i can't transfer entries from a filesystem (for example .exe or .doc files). Please help me!

In Unix we normally have the possibility of analysing the memory dump file (Coredump) when our program bugs out, and we often find the errors this way by using the GBD
I have noticed that in XP (as opposite to Win2k) this file is dump is very often caught and you can choose to send this to Microsoft or look at it..
My question is.. Do you know of any tools that can help us analyse this file..I do not think the VC.Compiler has any "import" options for this like the GDB..
Thanks in anvance for any comments...

Hello all,
After almost completion of my MDI appl, I figure out that the hot-key CTRL-F6 (switching between windows) is not working anymore (might never have worked  ). I haven't change anything in the accelerator resources (it's actually still there). In a default MDI-project of VC++6.0 it does work.
It might have something to do with having a tab-control bar I've included (as part of MainFrm). The doc/view are also splitted, but that should be at another level.
Have any of you any idea's how I can pin-point where it's going wrong? By the way: what messages are sent?
Thanks in advance,
EiSl

Hi ,
Guys need some info abt property pages.I need to develop an application with tabs.But the problem is that i don't know the number of tabs at design time.So am planning to use property sheet.But am not sure whether we can dynamically generate property pages and if i can do that then can i add few controls and caption to it also(dynamically).Am using VC++ 5.0 .
Thanks

If you do know the maximum number of tabs/pages that will ever need to be created, you can do that easily. For example, if your application is a shareware application that will only show the last two Pages (Tabs) if it is registered, you can simply not call "AddPage(...)" for the last two pages if the app is not registered. It is easy to dynamically change the number of Pages/tabs in the Property Sheet.
Dynamically building a dialog template sounds a bit like overkill to me. Are you sure that is what you need to do? If so, someone else is gonna have to help you with that!
A possible solution is to have a "Generic" page that you can just change the caption, control text, show/hide controls, etc., and add that customized Page to the Property Sheet as needed.
Peace!

Is it not required that you have one unique dialog template per page/tab.
For example, if your app had a "Tools" feature that the user could add tools to at runtime, you could add multiple copies of the same dialog template, one for each added tool. And since the tools would all have some common items (Path, parameters, etc.), you could use a generic dialog template.
Without knowing exactly what you are trying to use the other "dynamic" pages for, I can only be of limited assistance.
Peace!
