Hi Manu_81,

Hello!

I'm just a basic MFC user. Mostly I do my UIs in resource editor in VS.NET 2003. I know how to handle BN_CLICKED message from button and do something with it (trough message map). But now I have a problem. I should do something on button "press" and something different on button "release". It's the situation when event is dispatched on press and release not just release like it is the case with BN_CLICKED. Is it even possible?

Thank you for all the help.

Best regards,

Rostfrei

Which means you need to supply handlers for the WM_LBUTTONDOWN and WM_LBUTTONUP messages.

I managed to supply the handlers. I have the Dialog based application. If I press the mouse anywhere on the dialog I can detect it and can read the coordinates. The problem is when I click on the button. Click is not detected and I guess its intercepted by button. I want to detect the button down and check if mouse down happened in the area where button is. I don't have any method registered with the button. All I want to use it for now is button press/release shadow effect. What can I do? I don't want to draw custom button pictures and place them on the button region.

One way is to derive your own class from CButton and put the message handlers in it. If that does not work, perhaps message reflection will.

I already tried that but it is not possible to declare message map in there

<br />
class CCustomButton : public CButton<br />
{<br />
private:<br />
	DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP ()<br />
};<br />
<br />
<br />
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CCustomButton, CDialog)<br />
<br />
END_MESSAGE_MAP()<br />

because I get error

<br />
mainAppDlg.cpp(106): error C2248: 'CDialog::GetThisMessageMap' : cannot access protected member declared in class 'CDialog'<br />
        c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\atlmfc\include\afxwin.h(2864) : see declaration of 'CDialog::GetThisMessageMap'<br />
        c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\atlmfc\include\afxwin.h(2767) : see declaration of 'CDialog'<br />

What is message reflection?

Sure it is. MFC would not be worth a whole lot otherwise.

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CCustomButton, CDialog)

Notice the discrepancy?

Hi,
Detecting a "Missing Character Glyph" without looking at a window

I am developing a dialog similar to Windows Word - Insert - Symbol Table Dialog.
For this all the charaters have to be displayed for the selected font (from all the existing fonts) and subsets which support the current font.
I am able to display the characters but some are appearing blank. These are the characters which are not supported by the the current font.
Can anyone tell me how to detect missing glyphs?
Till now I have tried with WideCharToMultiByte and GetCharacterPlacement.
But nothing seems to work.
I thought of using uniscribe function ScriptStringAnalyse.
Is this the correct function I should use?
Also I dont have Usp10.h and Usp10.lib on my system. Though I do have Usp10.dll
I thought of downloading same but looks like it comes as SDK package.
I just need this .h and .lib file.
Can anybody send me these two files?
Thanks a ton,
Arti Gujare

I know the SDK can be quite a pain to download, I managed to put it off for months and months, but 400mb laters, I already feel the benefits.

I would really advise you download it and burn it to CD. Scrounging files here and there will just end up causing more conflicts than a drunk french man in an english bar.

hi
i have problem converting from char * to unsigned short * when compiling in UNICODE ,i have _UNICODE defined

code is as follows:

CString sBuf;
sBuf.Format(_T("RCPT TO:<%s>\r\n"), m_sEmailAddress);

//where m_sEmailAddress is CString object

LPTSTR pszRCPT = T2A((LPTSTR) (LPCTSTR) sBuf); //error is at this line

any links would do good
