First of all since you are using a dialog base application, I suggest you not to use DrawText. Rather you can use any Level control to put display the text. And you can Invalidate the Level control in regular interval.

Please, be more specific.
What's the error? What does your code look like?
What kind of "string" are you referring to?

i don't think so... it is much either standard c++ std::string::length() method or managed C++ String.Length() one... but as the question is not clear...

the guy have to ask again his question !

Seed keybord Messages to another application

I'm trying to send key presses to another application in Windows. I'm getting the HWND using FindWindow, posting the events using PostMessage. Normal WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP events are working perfect. However, I need to be able to handle combo's like Ctrl-S, etc.

::PostMessage(wnd, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_CONTROL, 0);
::PostMessage(wnd, WM_KEYDOWN, 0x41, 0);
::PostMessage(wnd, WM_KEYUP, 0x41, 0);
::PostMessage(wnd, WM_KEYUP, VK_CONTROL, 0);

But that doesn't seem to work.
Thanks for any advice offered.

Howto know when a dialog ends

GDavy23-Oct-05 21:23

23-Oct-05 21:23

I got a base-class derived from CDialog. There are multiple dialogs derived from that base-class.
All dialogs that derive from that base class have to do some special handling while they are the top-most dialog. From the moment a new dialog is started from within the derived class , that handling has to stop, and start again when the new dialog ends.
So my question:
How can I know in the base-class dialog when a new dialog was started (by the derived class), and when that new dialog was ended?

Greetings,
Davy

Thx for the reply. But that won't do.
The new dialog that is started isn't necessarily derived from that special base-class dialog...

Simply send a custom message in the derived dialog to the base-class dialog.

Control and Container for ActiveX

Hello
How a control can know which other controls are present in the container?
Like a edit control in VB can know if there is a Database control and attach it to it in the property browser.
Means we can communicate between controls using the caontainer. How can it be implemented in MFC ocx control development? can any body suggest some idea to me.
I am a novice in ActiveX control, so soory for any stupidity.

Can we display the items in a list control in the folllowing format:

Name:
"Checkbox control" Text:
Size:
"Checkbox control" Text:

that is i need different styles for different items in the same row. is this possible?

No, not for the normal MFC lsit control. Check on CP for custom-drawned list controls that handle this.
