Hi,

Yes, you need to load that Accelerator table.
HACCEL gAccel; //Declare in header file

//Add this code to the OnInItDialog of your dialog class
gAccel = LoadAccelerators(AfxGetApp()->m_hInstance,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MYACCEL));

//Add this code to PreTranslateMessage
if(TranslateAccelerator(AfxGetMainWnd()->m_hWnd,gAccel,pMsg))
return FALSE;

This should work....
Thanx and Bye

Developing a smarter approach to using CTreeCtrl

Jesper Knudsen19-Oct-04 20:14

Jesper Knudsen

19-Oct-04 20:14

I am looking for strategies for using tree controls. The goal is to extend the CTreeCtrl (or maybe even build a new custom CWnd descendant tree control) in a way that makes it easy to use, and that hides away most of the uggly struct and message tweeking needed.

At init I would want to add one single node, the root, to the tree control. And as user expands nodes, the tree would ask the node to list its children. For the tree to be able to ask nodes for children, we need some kind of "class ITreeNode" interface. Implementing this interface would enable an object to be represented as a node in the tree. And the object would itself be in charge of how it should be represented in the tree.

The tree this way visualizes the object structure in memory, which is a fair approach imo.

The treenode interface could look something like this...

class ITreeNode<br />
{<br />
   virtual CString GetTreeLabel() { return "Default"; }<br />
   virtual void GetTreeChildren( CTreeNodeList& L ) {}<br />
   virtual int GetTreeImage() { return 0; }<br />
   virtual int GetTreeImageSelected( return GetTreeImage(); }<br />
}

Did anyone experiment with anything like this?

Hi,
I have some problem with the tooltip control. I have enabled the tooltip control for my DialogBOx. I have drawn little boxes on to my Dialog Box. On each Box I have given different Tooltip Text in WM_MOUSEMOVE. Every thing is working fine but in some places Tooltip is blinking. I mean text is appearing and disappearing very fastly. But in other places on Dialog Box tool tip is stable. Can any one tell me What is happening ?
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
R u using the RelayEvent(pMsg) in the dialog's PreTranslateMessage, if so then check the rect size for that particular control which is blinking with the one which you would have used while creating the tooltip using the AddTool function. Have a look @ CPropertySheet::GetTabControl @ msdn, it does have an example on using the tooltip control

Hi,
Here i am providing the steps

In Dialog's header add
CToolTipCtrl tooltip;

in Dialog's on initdialog add
tooltip.Create(this,TTS_ALWAYSTIP);
CWnd *pWnd = GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON_BC1);
tooltip.AddTool(pWnd,"Hello Testing ",NULL,NULL);

Add the PreTranslateMessage for the dialog and add the following code
tooltip.RelayEvent(pMsg);

This will work. I think you shouldn't you on mouse move

Hello,

You can simply take the handle of the SystemMenu using GetSystemMenu and remove the Move menu. The code goes like this...

void CMainFrame::DisableMoveWindow()
{
CMenu* pSysMenu = GetSystemMenu(FALSE);
if (pSysMenu != NULL)
{
pSysMenu->RemoveMenu(1, MF_BYPOSITION);
}
}

Call this function in the OnCreate of CMainFrame()

Check this tool from sysinternal, it shows the handles opened by a process and much more.

But if you want to see the handle leak at the source code level use Numega's Bounds Checker or Rational Purify.

If you want to stick to APIs, you call MultiByteToWideChar() to go from ANSI to UTF-16, then WideCharToMultiByte() to go back to UTF-8.

keep a thread alive in a dll?

QQrutxu19-Oct-04 13:41

QQrutxu

19-Oct-04 13:41

Hi,

I am developing a dll in C and I have one problem that I don't know how to solve...

An external application invokes my dll by calling the function:

int calculateParameters(int, int)

I need to return to the application the value "OK" indicating that the passed parameters are correct as soon as possible, and then do the needed calculations and pass the result of the calculations to the external application using a callback function.

How can I do so that after the function returns "OK", the previously created thread could continue alive and do the appropiate calculations and invoke the callback funtion?

Here is the simplified code of this dll:

// Function invoked from the external application
int calculateParameters(int a, int b)
{
_beginthread(sumParameters, 0, valorTmp); //Create a thread to calculate
if (a > b) return OK; //As soon as this function returns, the thread previously created is stopped and no calculation is done
}

//Function needed to perform the internal calculations
void sumParameters(void *valorTmp)
{
z = a + b; //Example of calculations
Callback(y); //Pass the result of the calculations to the external application
}

Thank you very much for your help

Tab controls in CDialog

Geoff Hunter19-Oct-04 13:39

19-Oct-04 13:39

Hi All,
I am working with a CDialog object that opens three other dialogs using a tab control. I seem to be getting stuck trying to pass commands back to the main dialog so they can be sent to the comm port all together.
How can i either trigger an event handler from the tabbed dialog into my main dialog or change variables and call functions in my main dialog from the three dialogs that are created by the first.
I have tried right clicking on buttons and controls on my tabbed dialogs and adding event handlers to the main dialog but they do not seem to give a responce. Is there any code that i should add to get the main dialog to recognise an event that is not triggered by the dialog that it directly creates?
Any help would be great.

Full Unicode support in MBCS compiled application

McTrump19-Oct-04 13:05

McTrump

19-Oct-04 13:05

I want an Edit Control in my application (which compiles in MBCS, I can not easily change that) to accept Unicode.

So far, I have been successful in the sense that my control takes Chinese, Japanese, Greek etc., but it still does not take Indic languages (e.g. Hindi).

I created the control via CreateWindowExW():

<br />
        // create new window<br />
        RECT r;<br />
	r.top = 90;<br />
	r.left = 40;<br />
	r.bottom = 150;<br />
	r.right = 170;<br />
<br />
	HWND edithwnd;<br />
	edithwnd = CreateWindowExW(<br />
		WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY,<br />
		(WCHAR*)L"Edit",	// classname of the standard edit class<br />
		NULL,			// window title<br />
		WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD,	// styles	<br />
		r.left,			// coordinates<br />
		r.top,<br />
		r.right - r.left,<br />
		r.bottom - r.top,<br />
		this->m_hWnd,		// parent window hwnd<br />
		(HMENU) MAKEINTRESOURCEW(988),	// Child window ID<br />
		AfxGetInstanceHandle(),	// instance of the executable<br />
		NULL<br />
	   );<br />

I created the control inside a dialog which was derived from the MFC class CDialog. I create the control in the OnInitDialog() function of the dialog.

Well, this edit control does apparently support Unicode, but not to the full extend, since it does not accept the aforementioned Indic languages. I have already tried the various subclassing / superclassing approaches which are described on MSDN, but with the same result.

I found an example from Microsoft:

http://www.microsoft.com/msj/0499/multilangunicode/multilangunicode.aspx[^]

Here, F.A. Bishop uses the DialogBoxParam() function to create a dialog box from a resource. This dialog DOES support Hindi! I tried it in my test program and it worked. According to the MSDN documentation, DialogBoxParam() basically uses a createwindowex to create the dialog and the edit control.

Therefore I assume that my problem is connected to the dialog I create it in... but how....? Do I also have to create the containing dialog with CreateWindowExW() ? And if yes, how can I "adjust" my MFC-dialog in that way ?

Thanks for your help!

MRU Files on a Lower Level Dialog

Grahamfff19-Oct-04 11:07

Grahamfff

19-Oct-04 11:07

I have a MFC dialog application with many modeless dialogs. Now I wish to have one of these dialogs use the Most Recently Used files option.

The Main dialog uses the MRU option OK. But nothing works for this sub-window. Both are using the same ID_RECENT_FILES resource.

Is it possible to use MRU in two places?
