U have got he righ question for me?
I have just done some R&D on this topic .
Do one this add this message handler to your
code WM_CTLCOLOR
IN the Code
By the Controls Resource ID get the
pointer to that control's window
and then send
pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
message to the control
remember to set the HBRUSH as NULL by
adding this line
hbr = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject( NULL_BRUSH );
// if u dont set this then the label will not be trasparent
if u are not able to get me then i send u the code

I think ur problem is to Set Transperent the Backgroudn colour of the CStatic ??
Ok
Add this message handler to your code WM_CTLCOLOR
By the Controls Resource ID get the
pointer to that control's window "IDC_STATIC" is the static text on my dialog box
and then send
pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
message to the control
I am sending u the code from my dialobbox(LoginBox) for the OnCtlColor event :-
HBRUSH LoginBox::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
CBrush m_brush;
m_brush.CreateSolidBrush (RGB(45, 55, 0));
// TODO: Change any attributes of the DC here
if (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_STATIC)
{
// Set the text color to red
pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(200, 200, 200));
pDC->SetBkColor(RGB(45, 55, 0)); //THIS DONT WORK
// Set the background mode for text to transparent
// so background will show thru.
pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
hbr = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject( NULL_BRUSH );// if u dont set this then the label will not be trasparent
// Return handle to our CBrush object
//hbr = m_brush; //here the m_brush is the initialized and created CBrush member named m_brush of the dialog box it is need for the backgroud painting so i have disabled it
}
// TODO: Return a different brush if the default is not desired
return hbr;
}
hope so this clears ur query

I have a requirement to display text in Taskbar system tray( Like clock text). Can any one help how to do that. There is a way to display two characters( By printing characters in bitmap and then convert into icon and pass it to Shell_Notify). But I need to display atleast 8 characters .
Thank you for helping!

Can you resize the ToolbarWindow32 window? Can you create a floating toolbar and place it near the clock?
|
|
|
|
|
I am new to VC++. Can you please elaborate the solution.

Ram, you could experiment with resizing the toolbar area but I am not sure if this would work. Most of the time when you try to resize a Microsoft piece such as the taskbar it will not allow it.
Creating a floating toolbar window and placing it near the clock is the most straight forward. This would involve creating a window and message handler within the main program to display the text.

Why don't you use CFileFind class directly

I have an application, which does not have a window handle.
I need to get a CString data from another window of different process.
Can i use WM_COPYDATA to send the CString data? How?
The other window application is also written by me.

Nope you cannot use WM_COPYDATA in you listed Scenario... but what you can use shared memory in this scenario...

Create a global ATOM that has the string then pass the ATOM value between applications with a user defined message (WM_USER).

Help me please, cos there's no help on the web either for this topic.
The platform is Windows XP service pack 2.
I have installed VS.Net 2003 and several other compilers such as Metrowerks CodeWarrior for Symbian OS C++, Symbian OS SDK.... and that's all. Well also the SDKs for Java and J2EE.
But Im baffled, when I try to install from the Hard drive it goes into the installer but fails to go beyond " Searching for installed components ". Why is this happening ? I tried several times but failed. I even uninstalled the Metrowerks compiler hoping that there might be some dependencies, but that doesnt work either. I didnt remove VS.Net yet cos I dont want to go thru the trouble of reinstalling it again. What do u suggest I should do.
P.S. A month back I tried installing VS6 from a CD. But I think the CD was corrupt, since the installation went fine, except for copying certain files. However the installation aborted cos these files were corrupt. Im jus thinkin, if that "half installation" could have effects on this strange behaviour.

I am writing a small application using ODBC API calls to display unicode character. For example, euro sign, the hex value is 0x20AC. How can I display the euro sign character through its hex value in VC++?

For our next release, we need to import data from a competitor's product. They use Microsoft Access/Jet. I do know I'll need to install a run-time on the user's system, but am not sure what package that I should be looking at.
As a side note, does anyone have suggestions on the best run-time solutions to read (not write) Access/Jet files? Is there a third party tool available that can read the files directly and do a data dump?

You don't need much, just MDAC and the Jet drivers. Both of those are distributed as part of the OS with Windows 2000 and above, but not for NT4. No idea about Windows 9x/Me.
Links: MDAC[^] and the Jet drivers[^].

Thanks much (I was confused about the relationship of MDAC with Jet.)

hi, maybe someone can help me to with my code.
I need to sort some tchars which are stored in a struct array by "szNtDeviceName". I tried to use qsort but I'm a noob in C++ and not familiar with pointers, so I can't get it running.
here is the code:
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include <cstring>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define BUFSIZE MAX_PATH
#define MAXDRIVELETTERS 25
struct DriveInfo
{
bool bIsValidLogicalDrive;
TCHAR szDriveLetter[4];
TCHAR szVolumeName[BUFSIZE];
TCHAR szNtDeviceName[BUFSIZE];
};
int compare( const void *, const void * );
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
BOOL bFlag;
TCHAR Buf[BUFSIZE]; // temporary buffer for volume name
TCHAR Drive[] = TEXT("c:\\"); // template drive specifier
TCHAR Temp[] = TEXT("c:\\"); // template drive specifier
TCHAR I; // generic loop counter
int i = 0;
char szNtDeviceNameTemp[BUFSIZE]; // temporary buffer for NTDeviceName
int iVolumeMountPoints = 0;
DriveInfo* Arr = new DriveInfo[MAXDRIVELETTERS];
// Walk through legal drive letters, skipping floppies.
for (I = TEXT('c'); I < TEXT('z'); I++ ){
// Stamp the drive for the appropriate letter.
Drive[0] = I;
//LogicalDrivesArray[i].szDriveLetter=I;
bFlag = GetVolumeNameForVolumeMountPoint(
Drive, // input volume mount point or directory
Buf, // output volume name buffer
BUFSIZE // size of volume name buffer
);
if (bFlag){
//found MountPoint add them to array
lstrcpy(Arr[iVolumeMountPoints].szVolumeName, Buf);
Arr[iVolumeMountPoints].bIsValidLogicalDrive = true;
// remove end backslash for query
Temp[0] = Drive[0];
Temp[1] = Drive[1];
Temp[2] = '\0';
lstrcpy(Arr[iVolumeMountPoints].szDriveLetter, Temp);
// get NTDeviceName from DriveLetter
if (QueryDosDevice (Temp, szNtDeviceNameTemp, MAX_PATH)){
lstrcpy(Arr[iVolumeMountPoints].szNtDeviceName, szNtDeviceNameTemp);
}
iVolumeMountPoints++;
}
}
// unsing quicksort to sort by .szNtDeviceName
qsort( Arr, sizeof(Arr[0].szNtDeviceName ), sizeof(Arr[0]), compare );
if (iVolumeMountPoints>0){
printf("%i VolumeMountPoint(s) found\n", iVolumeMountPoints);
for (i=0; i<iVolumeMountPoints; i++){
//if (Arr[i].bIsValidLogicalDrive){
printf("\n%s %s %s", Arr[i].szDriveLetter, Arr[i].szVolumeName, Arr[i].szNtDeviceName);
//}
}
}
else{
printf("no VolumeMountPoint found");
}
//cleanup array
delete[] Arr;
return 0;
}
int compare( const void *a, const void *b )
{
DriveInfo **pa = (DriveInfo **) a, **pb = (DriveInfo **) b;
/* Compare */
return strcmp( (*pa)->szNtDeviceName, (*pb)->szNtDeviceName );
}
|
|
|
|
|
qsort (Arr,
MAXDRIVELETTERS
sizeof (DriveInfo)
compare);
int compare (const void *a, const void *b)
{
DriveInfo *pa = (DriveInfo *)a, *pb = (DriveInfo *)b;
return _tcscmp(pa->szNtDeviceNmae, pb->szNtDeviceName);
}

How will I be able to call VB forms and get along with their forms and dialogs? is it possible? if not, is there a way to link VB and VC++ together?
|
|
|
|
|
as far as i know there is not
direct way to use a form created by VC
in a VC++ application.
If u get to know inform me also.
U can create an Active X and then use it .
