Then that is called a simple layout manager. Don't get overrawed by the term Layout Manager.

I worked in Java for sometime. The LayoutManagers were cool. Some of them were not that good but then they all had some purpose as indicated by their name.
I worked in some MFC layout managers. All of them were real cool. Except for setting them up. Once that pain is over it looks real cool.
But as you said it depends.

I Even want to increase/decrease the size of the controls based on th ewindow size. How can i do this??
|
|
|
|

You can either use Layout Managers or simple use MoveWindow or SetWindowPos in OnSize( WM_SIZE )

Thanks a lot.
I got it.
|
|
|
|

you can use WM_SIZE and use functions MoveWindow or SetWindowPos in this event

I am not getting it.
This is what my code is:
void CEgAppDlg::OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy)
{
CDialog::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);
// TODO: Add your message handler code here
CRect wRect,eRect;
GetClientRect(wRect);
m_edit.GetClientRect(eRect);
POINT * pt;
pt->x=eRect.left;
pt->y=eRect.top;
::ClientToScreen(m_edit.m_hWnd,pt);
eRect.bottom+=30;
eRect.right+=30;
::MoveWindow(m_edit.m_hWnd,pt->x,pt->y,eRect.Width(),
eRect.Height(),TRUE);
}
I am getting an Exception
|
|
|
|
|
i guess m_edit.m_hWnd=NULL
insert this
if(m_edit.m_hWnd!=NULL)
{
...
}

Hey, just reduce the code lines do as follows
void CEgAppDlg::OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy)
{
CDialog::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);
CRect ClientRect( 0, 0, 0, 0 );
GetClientRect( ClientRect );
if( FALSE != IsWindow( m_edit.GetSafeHwnd()))
{
m_edit.MoveWindow( ClientRect );
}
}
This code is expected to work only when the Dialog is forcely resize by using Minimize, Maximize, Drag Size etc. To resize the control in Initial state you have to put some similiar code in the OnInitDialog of the dialog class like
CRect ClientRect( 0, 0, 0, 0 );
GetClientRect( ClientRect );
m_edit.MoveWindow( ClientRect );
In OnInitDialog you do not have to check the Window handle because OnInitDialog is called after the creation of the Dialog Box and it's control. But you should check the Validity of m_edit window in OnSize because it is called by the framework when the DialogBox alone is created, before the edit is created.
OK ?

Benoy Bose

Either Subclass the control to handle the Dialog resize or use MoveWindow api!

from ur question what i understood that, u have an exe it will check for a file and if not existing, u need to create one right?
here is a sample snippet
CFileFind finder;<br />
BOOL bWorking = finder.FindFile("test.ini");<br />
<br />
if(FALSE == bWorking)
{<br />
}<br />

you can use
<br />
WIN32_FIND_DATA m_data;<br />
HANDLE hFile;<br />
hFile=FindFirstFile(filename,&m_data)<br />
if(hFile==INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
else<br />
FindClose(hFile);<br />

Hi,
I am using USB-to-Serial cable to connect to my device. In my windows application, I use ReadFile/WriteFile to communicate with my device.
Everything is working fine. But one question I would like to ask.
Is DCB setttings important if we are using virtual COM port, eg:
Dcb.BaudRate
Dcb.ByteSize
Dcb.Parity
Dcb.StopBits
Will those settings affect the communication link because we are actually using VIRTUAL COM PORT not the actual port?
Thanks.

Almost all!

So, you mean, even though it is virtual COM port, the DCB setting should also be set properly?
The reason I asked this question is that, someone actually told me that, if you are using virtual com port, you don't need to care about those settings. The only setting concerned is the COM port number.

This may or may not be true depending on the "virtual" COM port.
Sometimes USB devices register themselves as one or more COM ports and those could be called virtual. Different devices behave differently.
I've experienced USB devices used as COM ports that are "enabled" by setting the DTR line, which requires the use of DCB.
However, all COM devices should support the use of DCB, which means that it doesn't hurt to set up things properly. It would also make the code more portable between COM devices.
What you heard regarding not having to set the DCB for virtual COM ports may be true for some specific devices, but certainly not all.

Recently,I am writing a smtp server ,when I test it in the internet ,

I should know pointers by now but still struggle to get code working when dealing with them..
If anyone has any recommended articles I'd be very appreciative. But, the articles dealing with pointer basics don't seem to help me... not sure why. I can understand casting ints, etc. but when it gets to more complex data types, I get confused.
A good example of a tough pointer problem for me is seen below. Not sure why/where I'm reading/changing memory I shouldn't be and I also don't know how I would be able to get the value of the TextualSid in a format usable for strcmp, printf, etc.
Thanks..

Hi everyone.
I am trying to implement a chat application that communicates using sockets. The problem is, when i try create a dialog when the application receive a connection request, the DoModal function doesn't works at all.
//Function called from InitDialog of a class derived from CWinThread
void CConexao::Connect()
{
CDlg dlg;
dlg.DoModal()
}
Would anyone help me solving this problem?
Thanks in advance

You are wrong! If DoModal doesn't work from threads none of the Dialog based applications will start because CWinApp is derived from CWinThread.
Try to write the code inside InitInstance. This is the function that gets called when an instance of CWinThread starts up or call Connect from InitInstance.

Well, i didnt't say that CDialog doesn't work with threads... it was a question.
I really didn't say it, but i'm calling connect insitde InitInstance and it is not working.
I think that i have to syncronize the calls, but i don't know how. When i call DoModal, the application will immediatly go back to were i started the thread, not allowing the dialog to be shown.
