This class and its members cannot be used in applications that execute in the Windows Runtime.

I keep seeing this "note" as I browse through the MSDN for Visual C++ 2012 (i.e. MFC classes, ATL, etc...)

What exactly does this imply for a Native Code programmer? (The more I read about the WinRT, the more confused I get)
Will a traditional MFC application just work in Windows 8?

Nothing really... it's not like the WinAPI is going away.

They should, accessing desktop applications is not going away. There was an article about this not too long ago stating the intent for Visual Studio to keep supporting desktop application development, which means it will keep getting supported in Windows.

I had seen something about that but it almost sounded like it was discussing running it on and targeting some previous versions of Windows. That apparently confused me enough to cause some concern.

thanks for reponding.

Sure, no problem. I've kept an eye out for this as well since I work on desktop applications. I doubt they'll completely get rid of the traditional desktop support any time soon, if so, I'm sure Linux will have a ton of users flocking in their direction. The market for traditional desktop applications is still large for the engineering/scientific community.

error C2660 :,, opencv with mfc (Solved)

hi,
i'm developing dialog based GUI code for my project using opencv with mfc. i'm getting following error for the MouseCallback function which i don't understand why

error C2660: 'SetDlgItemTextW' : function does not take 2 arguments

following is the code that causes this error

void leftclick( int event, int x, int y, int flags, void* param )
{
	if( event == CV_EVENT_LBUTTONDBLCLK )
	{
		CvScalar s; 
		CString Blue, Green, Red;
		zoomed = (IplImage*) param;

		s=cvGet2D(zoomed,x,y);		// get the (x,y) pixel value 
		Blue.Format(_T("%0.2f"), s.val[0]);
		Green.Format(_T("%0.2f"), s.val[1]);
		Red.Format(_T("%0.2f"), s.val[2]);
		SetDlgItemText(IDC_Blue, Blue);   /error C2660
		SetDlgItemText(IDC_Green, Green);   /error C2660
		SetDlgItemText(IDC_Red, Red);   //error C2660
	}
}

this mouse event is being called in a thread as

cvSetMouseCallback( "box.png", &leftclick, 0 );

any idea what i'm missing. do i have to define the mouse event in the dialog class??

Regards
Jawad

You need to pass in the dialog handle as the first parameter to SetDlgItemText function because it is not being called from inside a CWnd derived class. So the SetDlgItemText function that you're calling is actually the Windows API - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms645521(v=vs.85).aspx[^]

Since you are calling this from a thread and not from inside the dialog class, you have to pass the hWnd of the dialog as the first parameter to SetDlgItemText()[^].

You should know that doing this from another thread is a risky way.

You need to send the handle of the dialog to the thread because all thes window funcs come in two forms:

The global:

::SetDlgItemText(HWND, IDC_Blue, Blue);

And the Class Specific:

myDlgItem->SetDlgItemText(IDC_Blue, Blue); or
this->SetDlgItemText(IDC_Blue, Blue);

'this' is of course given for free if you are inside the actually controls class so you can write:

SetDlgItemText(IDC_Blue, Blue);

So, you are in a thread, NOT in the MFC class instance, so you need to pass the window handle to the thread in order to manipulate it there.

Or even better create your own messaging system so you can send a message to the main window thread from your thread so the main window thread can do all the detailed work rathert than having to code it in your worker thread.

Dynamic cast question

Hi,

SockCleintThread is a derived class from base Class CWinThread

so <pre lang='cpp'> CWinThread* current;
dynamic_cast<SockCLeintThread*>(current)= AfxGetThread(); </pre>

in fact the compiler is telling me to do what I am doing

why is it flagging the statement as a error

SockCLient.cpp(12) : error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'CWinThread *' to 'SockCLeintThread *'
1> Cast from base to derived requires dynamic_cast or static_cast

Re: Dynamic cast question

I guess the cast should be like this -

SockCLeintThread* current = dynamic_cast<SockCLeintThread*>(AfxGetThread());

I don't think you can cast the LHS of an expression. It should be:

C++

SockCLeintThread* current = dynamic_cast<SockCLeintThread*>(AfxGetThread());

AfxGetThread() returns a CWinThread* by default, so you need to cast that to the actual type that will be returned when storing it in your thread pointer. If you define current as a CWinThread* then you will not be able to use it as a SockCLeintThread* anywhere following.

CWinThread* current = (CWinThread*)AfxGetThread();

That's the simplest coding, using the C cast. But see what you are doing? You are casting AfxGetThread() to a CWinThread type.

So in C++:

CWinThread* current = dynamic_cast<cwinthread*>AfxGetThread();

Hi I have downloaded aarot.zip and trying to understand the code. Bcoz i need to implement that on embedded programming.
But the API used here is not known to me.
So can anyone help me to understand the code.

AND IF POSSIBLE
Plz help me to know source code of the functions SetDIBits and GetDIBits. How it is working.

Thanks

Precompiled Headers

Hi,

I am using both derived CwinApp and CFrameWnd as Anchor point for pointers to other objects such derived Cwinthreads

e.g. I created the threads which I have socket classes in them in the INITINSTANCE of the Derived CwinApp

Later in the derived modal and modless dialog box code I refer to these pointers

Instead of inluding the header file for the main window and app in each .cpp file

woud precompiling these and headers and using the precompiled header option be a better option

Thanks

I always turn off pre-compiled headers.

I would rather spend a couple extra seconds on a compile versus trying to figure out why code that I can see with my own eyes obviously isn't running (because it didn't recompile.)
