Assertion faliur when window is min and then max [modified]

Hi,

I have a login dialog on which there is a logo. In the OnPaint() function I have added some code to make the logo transparent.

But everytime I minimize the login dialog box and then maximise it again, I get Debug assersion failure. But if I do not minimize it, then the rest of the program works fine.

I am not able to figure out what I must do to correct this. If I block out the code in the OnPaint() function, this problem dosen't occure.

void CLogin::OnPaint() 
{

	CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting
	
	// TODO: Add your message handler code here
	CRect rect;
	GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC_MJ)->GetWindowRect(&rect);
	ScreenToClient(&rect);

	COLORREF clrDlg = GetSysColor(COLOR_BTNFACE); // dialog colour

	m_bitmap.LoadBitmap ( IDB_MJ_SOFTWARE ) ;
	CBrush mybrush, *oldbrush ;
	
	mybrush.CreateSolidBrush ( clrDlg ) ;
	oldbrush = dc.SelectObject ( &mybrush ) ;

	Display ( &dc, rect.left , rect.top , RGB ( 255, 255, 255 ) ) ; //color to block out
	mybrush.DeleteObject( ) ;
	dc.SelectObject ( oldbrush ) ;


	// Do not call CDialog::OnPaint() for painting messages
}

Please can you tell me what I am doing wrong here.
Thanks,
Tara

First
Check if m_bitmap has already a bitmap attached:

if(NULL == m_bitmap.GetSafeHandle())
{
   m_bitmap.LoadBitmap (IDB_MJ_SOFTWARE);
}

Second
DO NOT delete a GDI object which is currently selected in a device context.
Set it free by a call of dc.SelectObject(oldbrush) BEFORE calling mybrush.DeleteObject().

Aside note: in your code it's not even necessary to call mybrush.DeleteObject() because anyhow it is deleted when out-of-scope.

Thanks a lot.

Its working now.

I used GetSafeHdc() but it was still giving error. But I understood that before loding a bitmap to m_bitmap, I must free it. So I used m_bitmap.DeleteObject(); and, of course the second point that you stated.

Thanks once again.

Oups, I made a mistake in my previous answer.
I just have corrected it.

Also as long as we have not a CBitmap pointer, you can directly test m_hObject member instead of call GetSafeHandle, like WhiteSky already suggested.

SO, the reason that the assersion failure occurs is that when the dialog is minimised and then maximised, and the onPaint() function is called, the bitmap object tries to load an already loaded object. Is that correct?

Therefore, one must either delete the object before calling Load or check whether it is NULL, and call Load only if it is.

You can use

if (m_bitmap.m_hObject==NULL) <br />
m_bitmap.LoadBitmap ( IDB_MJ_SOFTWARE ) ;

CRichEditCtrl - calculate how many visible lines?

rambuts

Hi all,

I am having trouble to calculate precisly how many visible lines (according to the font currently selected) i have in my CRichEditCtrl derived class.

here is the code snippet:

// this event is EN_CHANGE

void CMyRichEditCtrl::OnEdtChange()
{
        CDC* pDC = GetDC();
	int nTxtLen = GetWindowTextLength();
	SetSel(nTxtLen,nTxtLen);
	CHARFORMAT2 cf;
	GetSelectionCharFormat(cf);
	int nFontSize = cf.yHeight / 20;
	int nFontHeight = -MulDiv(nFontSize, GetDeviceCaps(pDC->m_hDC, LOGPIXELSY), 72);
	nFontHeight *= -1;
	ReleaseDC(pDC);
	CRect rc;
	GetRect ( rc );
	int nVisibleLines = rc.Height() / nFontHeight; 
	nVisibleLines -= 3;
	int nTotalLines = GetLineCount();
	int nDelta = nTotalLines - nVisibleLines;
        // ... do something with nDelta
}

trouble is , the calculation i get is incorrect, especially when i change the font size.....

can any1 help?

thanks in advanced

Could some one tell me how I can prevent duplicate definitions in my program. I mean should I use something like #definemyClass or should I use provate keyword.

Thanks, Moujan

Typically in your .h header file you would put:

#define _MY_CLASS_H

class MyClass
{

};

#endif // _MY_CLASS_H

System Wide hook for file save as dialog in All applications

1-Jul-06 6:46

Hi,
I am looking for System Wide hook for File Save as dialog.

What I want is to show more data inputs to enter in the dialog such as : a dropdown with some values, a date control etc.

It is not necessary it be the same dialog, it could be a new dialog all together with customized UI (preferrable) and gets some of the dropdown values from a database.

Creating the UI controls / Getting the information from database will not be issue at all.

What I am specifically looking for is how to make file save as hook, how to show a modified OR a new dialog all together (preferable) in all Apps when file save / file save as is executed ?

Have already seen the articles on System Wide hooks. They are very good but I am looking on how to do this specific application scenerio.

I will really appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks

Mo

Take a look at:

www.catch22.net/source[^]

I've got a sample there called 'report-view', it shows how to do a system-wide modification to all Open/Save dialogs and change the view to 'detail-view' in these windows.

Label click in ListView triggers audio DLL:s?

Mattias G1-Jul-06 2:41

Hi all,

When I click in a label in my (heavily subclassed) ListView, I get the following DLL:s loaded:

<br />
Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\winmm.dll', no matching symbolic information found.<br />
Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\fireface_mme.dll', no matching symbolic information found.<br />
Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\setupapi.dll', no matching symbolic information found.<br />
Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\wintrust.dll', no matching symbolic information found.<br />
Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\crypt32.dll', no matching symbolic information found.<br />
Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\msasn1.dll', no matching symbolic information found.<br />
Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\imagehlp.dll', no matching symbolic information found.<br />
Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\EMGA8U2K.dll', no matching symbolic information found.<br />
Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\version.dll', no matching symbolic information found.<br />
Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\wdmaud.drv', no matching symbolic information found.<br />
Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\wdmaud.drv', no matching symbolic information found.<br />

Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\msacm32.dll', no matching symbolic information found.<br />
Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\midimap.dll', no matching symbolic information found.<br />

The loading of the libraries takes about 1 sec, which is not acceptable. The app does not use any multimedia features, and is not based on MFC or any other framwork (pure Win32 API calls).

I have done some research, but is now totally at a loss. Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Thanks!

I would put a breakpoint inside LoadLibraryW (and friends) and try to get a call stack of the code which loads "winmm.dll".

Mattias G1-Jul-06 5:06

Good idea. Tried it, but the call stack doesn't tell me that much:

<br />
KERNEL32! 7c80acd3()<br />
COMCTL32! 5d0f0541()<br />
COMCTL32! 5d0f08a0()<br />
COMCTL32! 5d097aae()<br />
USER32! 77d48709()<br />
USER32! 77d487eb()<br />
USER32! 77d4c00e()<br />
USER32! 77d4c034()<br />
esListVw::OnMessage<br />

The bottom one is my own code, calling CallWindowProc(...) in response to a WM_LBUTTONDOWN.

Confused | :confused:

I think this is spooky. I would feel more comfortable if the app just crashed ...

Btw, tried to remove all custom stuff from the control (subclassing and responding to WM_NOTIFY's), but the multimedia DLL's get loaded anyway at first click (left or right mouse button doesn't matter, same behaviour if tabbing to the label).

Any idea on how to move forward? I'm stuck.

Thanks
