Hi ,
I utilize Visual C++ .NET 2003 in my project.
I have a class with a few methods. I have to delete one of these methods.
In the Class View I have selected the method to suppress.
I have tried with the del key of the numeric keypad without success. I have tried with the contextual menu but the delete option is not present.
How can I delete a method of a class with Visual C++ .NET 2003 ?

How can I change the foreground color of an edit control?
And is there a simple algorithm to determine if two colors have enough "contrast" to be distinguishible?

handle WM_CTLCOLOR message and call SetTextColor() on the supplied DC.

I don't know about a simple algorithm, but it seems to me that the user should be able to set those kind of things for themselves, as people can have different perceptions as to what colours contrast and what colours do not. Have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnhess/html/hess10092000.asp[^].

That should work

It is just an additional visual cue, and I'd rather disable it than making it an option. The basic idea is to disable it when COLOR_WINDOW is anything else but white, but I'd like to be more tolerating.

Yes there is, but I can't remember it or find it right now. I know one exists though. I think it was something like calculating the luminance of the two colours (HSL colour model...) and making sure the the difference between the two was above some threshold, or something like that.

I think it was a Paul Dilascia article that used this technique.
I used it in his folder tab class so that it would toggle the text color between black and white based on the color the user selects for the background color. (similar to what Excel does) I couldn't find the Dilascia article that used the code, but I still have the code kicking around in an old project:
<br />
int AfxGetLuminosity(COLORREF color)<br />
{<br />
<br />
const int HLSMAX = 240;<br />
const int RGBMAX = 255;<br />
<br />
int nRed = GetRValue(color);<br />
int nGreen = GetGValue(color);<br />
int nBlue = GetBValue(color);<br />
<br />
int nRGBMax = max(max(nRed, nGreen), nBlue);<br />
int nRGBMin = min(min(nRed, nGreen), nBlue);<br />
<br />
return (((nRGBMax + nRGBMin) * HLSMAX) + RGBMAX) / (2 * RGBMAX);<br />
}<br />
In the folder tab drawing function I have:
<br />
COLORREF crText = ((AfxGetLuminosity(m_color) > 120) ? RGB(0,0,0) : RGB(255,255,255));<br />
where m_color is the background color. I seem to remember it not being 100% fullproof, and that asking in the newsgroups resulted in a "there is no sure fire method" answer.

I have an MFC ActiveX Full Control.
When modifying the appearance through member functions, an Invalidate() on the control (or the respective child windows) updates the control only if it has the focus.
Without focus, I'm pretty much "grounded": simulating a resize helps, but that's not really efficient.
Any idea?

How about using RedrawWindow()? Invalidate() only invalidates the window (hence the name), but it will not redraw the window until it recieves a WM_PAINT message. RedrawWindow() invalidates the window and forces a WM_PAINT message to be sent.

If you use the RDW_UPDATENOW flag.

this doesn't work either (I think, I just killed my test case  )
Further, I don't want to force a cmplete redraw each time, as there might be an otside loop over all displayed items (flicker galore)

Perhaps there's a bug in the control's painting logic? (It should paint the control regardless of whether or not it has focus).

It is painted completely by a child control (which contains more child windows)
Basically, I'm wrapping an MFC CWnd-based conrol in an ActiveX

Fair enough, but perhaps the CWnd-derived object's painting logic is flawed (i.e. it paints only if it has focus)? This is just a guess.

Fair enough but (  ) this isn't the problem, calling Invalidate does not result in an WM_PAINT message when the control has no focus.
I *think* it has to do something wiht the activation state of the control, but I'm not fluent enough with the full control COM interfaces (which IMO is a mess), nor the MFC wrappers.

I think the answer may lie in calling COleControl::InvalidateControl(). See this[^] article.

Hi all,
I want to disable functionality of mouse wheel in my application. I don't want the front end's scrollbars to scroll if user uses the mouse wheel.
Does any one how to do that. I would sincerely appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kalyan

I'm curious why you would want to do that. The user has come to expect certain actions when the mouse wheel is used. For those actions to be different or non-existent in your application would seem a bit counterintuitive.

The easiest way I can think of that is to "eat" the WM_MOUSEWHEEL messages, but as another poster has already said, it is a bad idea to change a user's expectations of their UI-interactive hardware.
That is one of the reasons why applications with Broken GUI pi$$ off so many people; they change the way things are supposed to work, or they do not work the way they are supposed to.
Peace!

Thanks for your replies guys.
One of my customer wants to disable the scrolling effect from mouse wheel in his application. This is for specific application. Can you please help me on how to disable the scrollwheel functionality. I don't have very good idea on windows user32.dll and messages. What are WM_MOUSEWHEEL Messages and how can I eat them. Is there any tutorial or example code to do this. I would sincerely appreciate your help guys.
Thanks,
Kalyan

it is very easy to do actually
use microsofts MSDN library for more information but all you need is
if(PeekMessage(0,&msg,0,0,1))
{
if(msg.message==WM_MOUSEWHEEL)
{
//code -- automatically destroys the "mousewheel" input
}
else
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg); //process the message
}
}

Haven't had any suggestions on my previous posting
"Need a pointer in the right direction How do I change working drives, make directories, etc across a network (i.e. on a remote machine) ?? Can't seem to find any info on MSDN (but maybe I'm not looking for the right thing !!  )"
Surely there must be a network version of _chdrive, _mkdir, etc, or the equivalent ?
