Hi,
I'm having trouble with using a particular COM object in an MFC application. Here's what happens. I create a brand new MFC application put some code in the message handler to initialize COM, create object, set some properties on the object etc. That works fine. However when I try the exact same code inside another, bigger application the code doesn't work.
First CoInitialize() returns RPC_E_CHANGED_MODE. I have no idea why because this is the first time I call it in the code. I use many other libraries it may be possible that some other library has initialize it. I can either ignore this returned value or put CoInitialize and other code into a thread, in either case problem 2 occurs.
Second, the program doesn't behave as it should. I try to debug it by stepping through the code. CoCreateInstance() works fine, then I set some options on this created instance, that works fine. Then I call another function and MSVC++ displays "First-chance exception...(NTDLL.DLL): Invalid Handle" and I can't debug any further.
How can I debug this? This particular code is identical between the two applications. Both applications seem to have the same project settings. I'm just out of ideas.

Does anybody know how many symbols maximum, a CString object can contain ?
Thanks in advance

The amount of memory your program gets should be the limit of CString size.

Take a look at CString::AllocBuffer(). You'll notice that it is INT_MAX.

the index of a CString object is an int. could you find the size now ?

The theoretical limit is INT_MAX, or 2GB. But since the buffer has to be contiguous block of memory, and you won't be able to allocate a 2GB block in your process space, the practical limit is much less.

I wonder how to send and catch events in MFC. I’m well known how a CWnd is catching an “regular” winows envent but if I like to catch an event from:
class A { … }
to
class B { … }
?

Have you searched MSDN for TRY, CATCH(), and THROW()?

For me that is about Exception handling...

My bad. What exactly do you mean by "events?"

depending on the relation between A and B there are numerous ways of "catching" events ...
if A and B know each other ( i.e. A includes a pointer/reference to B, or vice-versa ), you can directly call methods from A to B ( or vice-versa )
if A and B do not know each other ( or you don't want to make them know each other ), you can make them inherit from CCmdTarget and use SendMessage/PostMessage and handle your user message in each class
if you don't want to have a dependency on MFC/Win32, you could use one form of the Observer Pattern to register each class as either observer or observable to send message between them.

I've successfuly "cached" a SendMessage(...) in a CWnd derived class but I don't get it to work between two generic (my own created classes). Really glad for an Articel in this subject, but have not found any here at CP...

Once you get it figured out, why don't you write up an article on it?

When I attempt to print a CView, the size of the output is way to big. Where/how do I scale down? I suspect it will be somewhere in virtual overrridables like OnPreparePrinting/OnBeginPrinting.
Do I need to reset the Map Mode? Basically I need to reduce the horizontal/vertical display to about a 25% of the size. The whole area to be displayed is correct, just the scale is not.

The last time I did something like this, it required several things. See this article for an example. I think I left some code commented out in the GDITestView.cpp file that prepares the DC for printing.

hi all,
what i want to do is add an extra popup-menu to the "workspace" in visual studio.
currently you have menus options such as "New Folder", "Compile", "Settings ..." etc.
i want to add another that when chosen will fire my code.
the reason for this? well we use command line pvcs and its a real hassle to keep going back to a command prompt and cd-ing all over the place just to lock/unlock a file.
my life would be much easier if i could just have another popup-menu in the workspace area from which i could fire the pvcs commands!
so any of you gurus have a suggestion?
cheers

in the undocumented part in codeproject you will find examples on how to hook into the visual studio components. (it usually involved *.PKG file or a COM-Addin).
look at wndtabs project also posted here at codeproject....
hope this helps ya
cheers

Must be a simpler way than this, using windows API.
