Re: pointer to any window

You can use GetForegroundWindow()
You cannot use GetActiveWindow() cause it only returns the active window in your program.

Hi,

I have created a class with a dialog box called Calculate with three edit boxes.
IDC_EDIT1,IDC_EDIT2 and IDC_EDIT3

each are to calclate different percentages for a project.

The member variables for each are: m_edit1,m_edit2,m_edit3 which are all of type float

What I want to do is in the dialog source file
(calculate.cpp) is define how to calculate each percentage which I have done.

The three variables containing the percentages are answer1, answer2 and answer3.

What I want to do now is to be able to display answer1 in the IDC_EDIT1 box, answer2 in IDC_EDIT2 and answer3 in IDC_EDIT3. Please can someone help me! Thanks a lot in advance!

Look at
CFileDialog::OnTypeChange

But u would need to create a new class to recive the notifications.
U could use spy to get the pointer to the edit box id,
and get a handle to it and change the text in it.

Nish {BusterBoy] Deleting strings

21-Mar-02 8:39

I want to be able to select one item in the the list box and remove it from the list with the push of a button but leaving all the other items in it.

Re: Nish [BusterBoy] Deleting strings

Nish Nishant21-Mar-02 8:45

Re: Nish {BusterBoy] Deleting strings

21-Mar-02 8:45

That's exactly what DeleteString does. It deletes the string from the list box whose index you specified. It leaves all other items intact.

Call index=GetCurSel() to get the index of the selected item.

Then in the button's click handler call DeleteString(index)

21-Mar-02 8:25

Hey, i have a listbox that contains various items inside of it. can someone tell me how i can make only one of those items selected in the listbox, be deleted by pressing a button? Confused | :confused:

You want to have exactly one string in listbox? Or one selected string in listbox?

CListBox::SetCurSel selects item (assuming that you have single-selection listbox). CListBox::DeleteString deletes item with specified index.

Hi Tomasz

This thread is now dead. The question has been reposted and using my nick in the subject. The nick was spelt wrong and I had to replace a { with a [ in the reply. But I think the subject of the re-post might actually confuse some people and they might think I am deleting strings for whatever reasons I might have Smile | :)

Debugging CreateThread

21-Mar-02 7:51

I am learning multithreading for the first time. I tried to create a thread using CreateThread() in MS Visual C++:

sThread = CreateThread(NULL, 0, StreamHandler, NULL, 0, &sThreadID);

Tracing through debugger, the thread seems to be created because I receive a handle.

I placed a cout statement at the beginning of my StreamHandler function, but it was not printed. So it seems as if the thread was created, but did not execute my function.

Does anyone know how I can jump into my function to see if the thread is running?

Tomasz Sowinski21-Mar-02 7:56

cout uses C++ runtime features, which are not initialized when you create thread by calling Win32 API (CreateThread). If you want to use streams or anything which is provided by runtime, you need to create your thread with _beginthread or _beginthreadex.

Use _beginthreadex instead. The CreateThread function don't initialize the CRT (C-RunTime, not Cathodic Ray Tube Wink | ;-)

correctly, so this might be your problem.

Michel

If I am wrong or said something stupid, I apologize in advance Wink | ;)

21-Mar-02 9:28

** OK, let's assume I don't use cout, but printf instead **

How do I use the Visual Studios so I can trace into my thread function?
