In my CString variable, a "&" character can be in it. When it is displayed in a messagebox or in a dialog in converts the "&" to underline the next character. Is there a way to turn this feature off so it displays the "&" as an "&"???

Select the "No prefix" style of the offending control static text control. This will cause ampersands to be displayed normally, instead of underscoring the following character.

modeless dialog and memory leak

16-May-02 9:22

I want to display a dialog as a modeless one. And my code is:

CMyDialog *pDlg;
pDlg = new CMyDialog();
if ( pDlg != NULL )
    if ( pDlg->Create(IDD_DLG_MY, this) )
        pDlg->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

but where should I delete the pDlg? If I don't delete it, it causes memory leak.

Thank you very much!

make pDlg a member variable of the class that creates it. then delete pDlg in the destructor for the owning class.

After you have destroyed the window. Or not using it anymore i would think...

Modeless dialogs are usually deleted in the OnNcDestroy routine. Just add that message handler and do a "delete this".

Hi Tim, I add the following code to myView:
in myView.h:
afx_msg void OnNcDestroy();
in myView.cpp:
ON_COMMAND(WM_NCDESTROY, OnNcDestroy)

void CMyView::OnNcDestroy()
{
delete this;
CScrollView::OnNcDestroy();
}

But it is not called. And the memory leak is till there. How should I did it?

Do you need to use a pointer?

CMyDialog Dlg;
if (Dlg.Create(IDD_DLG_MY, this))
   Dlg.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

Like it or not, I'm right.

How do i catch events from a ListView control?

redeemer16-May-02 9:26

redeemer

16-May-02 9:26

Click, ItemSelect, etc.?

I've noticed that when you click it or do some action on it, i don't get a WM_COMMAND message and i don't get the name of the control in the wParam parameter.

Thanks

Select the control in ClassWizard and choose a notify message handler for the appropriate notification.

Still having problems double buffering a CListView MDI

RobJones16-May-02 8:09

Hello,
Here is some code.. I am trying to double buffer my CListView MDI app.. I am getting all kinds of really weird drawing.. Alot of this code is from a CListCtrl double buffer.. I am trying to use it.. Anyone want to see if they can find some problems.. Thanks!!!

// This is my OnPaint()
CRect  rc;
	GetParent()->GetClientRect(&rc);

	if (rc.Size() == CSize(0,0))
		return;

	CPaintDC dc(this);
	CDC     MemoryDC;
	CBitmap Bitmap;
	CBrush  Brush;

	CRect rcWnd;
	GetWindowRect(&rcWnd);
	int rcWndW = rcWnd.Width(), rcWndH = rcWnd.Height();

	// Paint to a compatible DC
	MemoryDC.CreateCompatibleDC(&dc);
	Bitmap.CreateCompatibleBitmap(&dc, rcWndW, rcWndH);
	CBitmap *pOldBitmap = MemoryDC.SelectObject(&Bitmap);
   
	// Fill background (does what WM_ERASEBKGND would do)
	Brush.CreateSolidBrush(RGB(255,255,255));//GetBkColor());
	MemoryDC.FillRect(&CRect(0,0, rcWndW,rcWndH), &Brush);

	// Hook the header control so that paint gets redirected
	// to the memory dc
	CWMPaintHook  hookHeaderCtrl(GetListCtrl().GetHeaderCtrl()->GetSafeHwnd(), MemoryDC);

	// Do client and children areas first otherwise system
	// scrollbars don't draw correctly.
	Print(&MemoryDC, PRF_CLIENT|PRF_CHILDREN);
	Print(&MemoryDC, PRF_NONCLIENT);

	// Offset the MemoryDC drawing rectangle by rcBounds 
	CRect rcDraw = rc - rc.TopLeft();

	// Dump bits to real device context.
	dc.BitBlt(rc.left,rc.top, rc.Width(),rc.Height(), &MemoryDC, rcDraw.left,rcDraw.top, SRCCOPY);

	MemoryDC.SelectObject(pOldBitmap);

If you need more code, like from my .h let me know and I'll post it.

Thanks,

Rob

Convert the string "(5/12)*8" to a number?

Tony Fontenot16-May-02 7:56

Is there a class or function out there will let me pass in an string equation like "(5/12)*8" and have it return the answer as a double.

I am planning on writing a fuction to do this, but thought I would check here first.

Thanks in advance. Big Grin | :-D

What you want is an expression parser. There are several commercial ones available, but none I would recommend.

Alexander Berthold has published one here on CP, but I have not used it personally. It can be found here:

Error when i try to use std::map

redeemer16-May-02 7:24

redeemer

16-May-02 7:24

When i write this

typedef map<int, string, less<int>, allocator<string> > strmap;

which is what the MSDN library sample does, then i get an error:

error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '<'

like it's not expecting the "<" even though when i write the <, one of those things appear that helps you find the parameters of a function...

What's wrong?

Thanks

It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time to say anything in it, because we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a very long time to say, and to listen to.

Re: Error when i try to use std::map

it says that string isn't a member of std, can i write this instead?:

typedef std::map<int, char, std::less<int>, std::allocator<char> > strmap;

Re: Error when i try to use std::map

C^hris L^osinger16-May-02 8:07

that will associate an int with a single char.

try this:

#include <string>
#include <map>

typedef std::map<int, std::string> strmap;
