Hi,
I have a question about static controls and how their backgrounds are painted. If I place a static control on a normal dialog, the background of that dialog is a uniform system grey, and the present static seem to paint their own backgrounds to match that. However, in XP property pages, the background is not uniform, it's a kinda whitish gradient fill. How do the static controls erase their backgrounds here? Do they set themselves to be transparent somehow, and let the parent page paint the whole background over which they just draw the text, but not any background, or do they call some function in the parent page asking it to paint a specific portion of background covered by the static control? I'm asking because I need to replicate this effect, in a custom window of mine. Any clues?

It`s very simple a Static in requesting a brush(OnCtlColor) from it`s parent dialog, to paint it`s background, you have to give a pattern brush with the portion you need... here it`s an example
if( nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_STATIC )
{
CRect rc;
pWnd->GetWindowRect(&rc);
ScreenToClient(&rc);
CDC *pBDC = new CDC;
CBitmap *pBmp = new CBitmap;
pBDC->CreateCompatibleDC(pDC);
pBmp->CreateCompatibleBitmap(pDC, rc.Width(), rc.Height());
CBitmap *pOLD = (CBitmap*)pBDC->SelectObject(pBmp);
m_pBackgroundBmp->DrawPart( pBDC->GetSafeHdc(),0,0, rc.left, rc.top, rc.Width(), rc.Height());
pBDC->SelectObject( pOLD );
if(m_hbr) DeleteObject(m_hbr);
m_hbr = ::CreatePatternBrush((HBITMAP)pBmp->m_hObject);
pBDC->DeleteDC();
pBmp->DeleteObject();
delete (pBmp);
pBmp = NULL;
delete (pBDC);
pBDC = NULL;
return m_hbr;
}
int h file you have HBRUSH m_hbr;

Hi guys i sometime get confuse in this?
What is the difference between Instance and Context.
And how two different instances for the same application work.
What are the responsibilities of the OS two maintain the two different instance.
What is the responsibility of the Application developer.
Thanks in advance.

an instance is a representation in memory of a particuliar type (class, struct, union, native type).
when you write int i1 = 4, i2 = 5;, i1 and i2 are 2 instances of an int.
the context is all that can interract with the program and affect the behavior of it (variables values, thread states...)

Hi all
I am using VB 6.0 and trying to use SetForeGroundWindow() API in Windows XP . But the API's behavior seems to be different from Non XP OS , because the minimized Application window gets the focus btu waits for a mouse click to come to fore ground . Is there anyway to make the Application window to come to forground straight away ?
regards
Dharani

You can use ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL);
this is this.

What about [SetWindowPos] api

Are you asking for VB or VC++ code ?

Try looking at AllowSetForegroundWindow[^]. Recent versions of Windows prevent applications from taking over the foreground window via SetForegroundWindow, since it takes control of the focus away from the user (which is not a good idea, from the user's perspective).

what is difference between a handle and a pointer?
you can access all of the members with both of em!so what is the difference?
|
|
|
|
|
technically, none ; but handles are generally called like this because the allow to handle a whole object, such as window controls...

In general terms, a handle is an opaque value used to identify an object. In and of itself, it doesn't do anything, and can't be used to access the object directly. You pass it to one or more functions that perform operations on the object.
A pointer is essentially an address of a piece of memory. In C and C++, a pointer is associated with a type, which lets you treat the pointer as an indirect reference to an object of that type.
Handles may be implemented using pointers; in fact, many handle types in Windows probably are pointers, down underneath. There are also a large number of handles that are not pointers, however. Using a handle as a pointer Is Not A Good Thing because you are relying on an implementation detail that may or may not work in future versions.

I have been working on a dialog based app in Visual C++ 6.0.
I set up an accelerator table and assigned shortcuts to some of
my menu items in my menus. Then I discovered the problem.
If I use any F key as a short cut, or any key in conjunction with
the Shift key, the program will carry out the appropriate action,
but then it crashes, whereas if I invoke the menu command manually
from the menu, there is no problem.
I tried looking around the internet for some answers but didnt
find anything useful. This makes no sense whatsoever! Does anyone
have a clue what is going on?

It seems that when a window closes after a function key or shift
key combination is used as an accelerator key, the
program invariably will crash. The exception is being thrown
from wincore.cpp, line 875 it tells me.
Looking in the file, this line turns out to be part of the
CWnd::AssertValid() function. Line 875 is:
// should be a normal window
ASSERT(::IsWindow(m_hWnd));
This is not helpful though, and if there were a
problem with my windows, then it should happen each time I
open one of them, regardless of whether I invoke the menu command
via the accelerator key or via the menu itself.
I don't know what to do other than just change my accelerator
keys so that none of them use the function keys or the shift key.
Is there any good reason for this, or is it just something else dumb
to blame on microsoft?

I have Visual C++ lib file, but I also want to use C# to write my program. How can i do? Can I use Visual C++ *.lib into C#?
Second problem:
Is it same the writen methods with Visual C++.NET & Visual C++?
thanks

You need to compile the lib in to a dll, then you can pinvoke it. I don't believe you can use code from a lib file in C#, as a lib file is linked against, and you can't link C++ code into a C# app, all you can do is call a C++ dll from C#.

The small possibility exists that you use VS2005. In that case you might be able to produce a mixed assembly[^].

Hi all,
I am building an AUTO-RUN project which have application install, directx install and device driver install. After directx has been installed completely the system must be rebooted, in this case how can i follow the driver install procedure?
Are there any API can do that in VC++ ?
Thanks for any suggestion or help.

Search the registry for runonce. This key is where you put the path to the app you want to run. There's no API to call, because your program will stop when you reboot.

create a log file in a particular directory.. update it whenever a successful installation has been done.. mark it up with some checkpoints.. continue from there..
Eg:
Log File:
1.. (Application install done..)
2.. (DirectX done..)
so ur log file will have 2 at the End.. so u should start from 3 ->(Driver Install)..
am i right?
Regards,
V
