I'm using toolbars in a couple dialogs (actually property pages). I can get them transparent by setting that in OnErase in the derived CToolbar class, but I always get a border on the top.
I've played around with the flags to try and get rid of that top border, no luck, and I think I've forgotten everything I've tried at this point - brain fry  Here's the code that creates the toolbar:
m_Toolbar.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_FLAT | TBSTYLE_TRANSPARENT, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_TOP | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_FIXED);
Any ideas how to get rid of that top line/border?

Hi, me again...
a few days a go I posted a problem with showing tooltips in a modeless dialog in a dll. I got a hint which seems to solve the problem.
I have done several tests in the meantime and unfortunatelly there is still a small problem with the tooltip.
To setup the tooltips for the modeless dialog in my dll I use this function:
//////////////////////////////////////////
void CMyDialog::SetToolTip(CWnd* pWnd, LPCTSTR lpszText)
{
if((pWnd != NULL) && (m_pTip != NULL)){
TOOLINFO ti;
ti.cbSize = sizeof(TOOLINFO);
ti.lpszText = (LPTSTR)lpszText;
ti.hinst = AfxGetInstanceHandle();
ti.hwnd = pWnd->m_hWnd;
ti.uFlags = TTF_SUBCLASS | TTF_IDISHWND;
ti.uId = (UINT)pWnd->m_hWnd;
m_pTip->SendMessage(TTM_ADDTOOL, 0, (LPARAM)&ti);
}
}
//////////////////////////////////////////
THe tooltip is shown and this works without (!) any call to CMyDialog::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) and RelayEvent. But I need this call, because there is an MFC bug with tooltips for disabled controls and I used in my other modal dialogs this code:
//////////////////////////////////////////
BOOL CMyDialog::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
TRACE("PreTranslateMessage\n");
if(m_pTip != NULL){
// The following code is a workaround for a MFC tooltip bug which
// prevents the popup of a tooltip for a disabled control in a modal dialog.
// Transate the message based on TTM_WINDOWFROMPOINT
MSG msg = *pMsg;
msg.hwnd = (HWND)m_pTip->SendMessage(TTM_WINDOWFROMPOINT, 0, (LPARAM)&msg.pt);
CPoint pt = pMsg->pt;
if((msg.message >= WM_MOUSEFIRST) && (msg.message <= WM_MOUSELAST))
::ScreenToClient(msg.hwnd, &pt);
msg.lParam = MAKELONG(pt.x, pt.y);
// Let the ToolTip process this message.
m_pTip->RelayEvent(&msg);
} // if
return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}
//////////////////////////////////////////
Then I tried to use the message hook which was neccessary to use accellerators in CMyDialog to call PreTranslateMessage:
//////////////////////////////////////////
// Hook procedure for WH_GETMESSAGE hook type.
LRESULT CALLBACK GetMessageProc(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
// If this is a keystrokes message, translate it in controls'
// PreTranslateMessage().
LPMSG lpMsg = (LPMSG)lParam;
if((nCode >= 0) &&
(PM_REMOVE == wParam) &&
(lpMsg->message >= WM_KEYFIRST && lpMsg->message <= WM_KEYLAST) &&
(AfxGetApp()->PreTranslateMessage((LPMSG)lParam)) == TRUE){
// The value returned from this hookproc is ignored, and it cannot
// be used to tell Windows the message has been handled. To avoid
// further processing, convert the message to WM_NULL before
// returning.
lpMsg->message = WM_NULL;
lpMsg->lParam = 0L;
lpMsg->wParam = 0;
}
// Process WM_MOUSE messages for tooltips here ????
if((nCode >= 0) &&
(PM_REMOVE == wParam) &&
(lpMsg->message >= WM_MOUSEFIRST && lpMsg->message <= WM_MOUSELAST) &&
(AfxGetApp()->PreTranslateMessage((LPMSG)lParam)) == TRUE){
// Do nothing ???
}
// Passes the hook information to the next hook procedure in
// the current hook chain.
return ::CallNextHookEx(g_hHook, nCode, wParam, lParam);
}
//////////////////////////////////////////
When I use the above code the tooltips for disabled controls work, but something with the mousemessage handling is wrong, because CCombobox controls can't be opened (They open very short and automatically close again).
Does anyone know how to solve my problem?? I think somehow I must call RelayEvent of the tooltip.

Is it safe to say that every user-mode process is a child of either the Services Controller (services.exe) or the Shell (explorer.exe) ??
Does the User32::ShellExecute function ultimately resolve to a call to CreateProcess, or does ShellExecute ultimately create the given process with calls to native functions??

I have an edit box on my property page that I want to check to make sure the user is putting the proper data in. In order to do this I use OnKillFocus() and set the focus back to edit box which has a problem. This works fine.
My problem is that when I switch to a different page on my property sheet, it does not keep the previous page up front. I still get the message box that I throw for errors, but the page still becomes inactive. I tried to use a ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL) but it looks like the new tab is still selected even though it show the contents of the previous tab.
Thanks in advance!

In the OnKillActive() method, what value are you returning?

that method returns a void. All I really do is throw a MessageBox("Error") message in there.

For a window/control, yes. OnKillActive() should return non-zero if losing focus is allowed, 0 otherwise.

OK, maybe I am really unclear.
I am using the OnKillFocus() for an EditBox. My problem is that when I switch tabs, it throws the error but still allows for the tab to be changed. I ideally would like for the tab not to be switched at all.
Thanks for all your help.

Which is why I suggested overriding OnKillActive().

I was trying to do use SetActiveWindow() and/or ShowWindow() in the OnKillActive() and neither do what I want. Should I be doing something else?
Thanks for being so patient!

There's no need to do any of that. Simply return 0 from OnKillActive() if you do not want the tab to change. A value of 1, which is the default, will allow the tab to be changed.

How to define and use 3 sockets which should be always open to 3 different locations and work as TCP/IP listening and sending messages which come in XML format like <start><id>id<id><name>name<name>.... Do I have to write three different socket class?
Thanks,
nahitan

I'm no Lord of Sockets, but I can tell you that if you want to have continuous connections to 3 different hosts, then you will need 3 separate sockets.
A TCP/IP socket does not know anything about XML. It is up to your program to interpret the XML. The only thing the socket does is send and receive packets of bytes.

Hello!
I make simple dialog based programs. I make them with resource editor VS.NET 2003. When I create dialog it is grey. After I put some other controls on it. What is the easiest way to make Dialog based application with some background of some predefined background (picture)? Instead of grey there would be some picture.
Best regards,
Rostfrei

Hi Rostfrei ,
if you need to paint dialog use WM_CTLCOLOR
and if you want to draw picture I suggestion that use picture's in the WM_PAINT and the use handle dc
|
|
|
|
|
include ->atlImage.h //in h file
CImage m_Image;//in h file
m_Image.Load("c:\\picture.bmp");//[in the OnInitDialog(example)]
in function Onpaint
CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting
m_Image.BitBlt(dc.m_hDC,CRect(0,0,800,600),CPoint(0,0));
|
|
|
|
|
When I include atlImage.h
I get many errors like:
LIBCMTD.lib(dbgheap.obj) : error LNK2005: _malloc already defined in msvcrtd.lib(MSVCR71D.dll)
LIBCMTD.lib(dbgheap.obj) : error LNK2005: _free already defined in msvcrtd.lib(MSVCR71D.dll)
LIBCMTD.lib(crt0dat.obj) : error LNK2005: _exit already defined in msvcrtd.lib(MSVCR71D.dll)
LIBCMTD.lib(crt0dat.obj) : error LNK2005: __exit already defined in msvcrtd.lib(MSVCR71D.dll)
LIBCMTD.lib(crt0dat.obj) : error LNK2005: __cexit already defined in msvcrtd.lib(MSVCR71D.dll)
LIBCMTD.lib(crt0dat.obj) : error LNK2005: __c_exit already defined in msvcrtd.lib(MSVCR71D.dll)
LIBCMTD.lib(crt0init.obj) : error LNK2005: ___xc_z already defined in msvcrtd.lib(cinitexe.obj)
and so on...
What shoild I do?

It works!!! I can't thank you enough!!!
To resolve linkage problem I had to
Ignore specific library: libcmtd.lib
The problem is described on http://discuss.microsoft.com/SCRIPTS/WA-MSD.EXE?A2=ind9710a&L=atl&P=5867[^]
in project settings. Now it works just as I wanted.
Ah yes, for anyone else reading this you have to include #include <afxstr.h> before #include <atlimage.h> like:
<br />
#include "afxstr.h"<br />
#include "atlimage.h"<br />
Thank you!
Regards,
Rostfrei

I have a NCRPOSAPI.dll file from NCR printer. Now I generate a Com wrapper. . I'm using Visual C++ to generate a COM. There is an export function
UINT NCRPOS_PrinterStatus(LPTR Printername) from this DLL.
But calling this function I have a linking problem. Do I need to generate an LIB file? and How? Please help!.

Maybe you can post exact nature of linking problem.
There can be several possible issues, but without knowing which linking problem you have, we can not give proper answer.

My application is creating a COM wrapper (using Visual C++ version 6.0)that call a function from a NCRPOSAPI.dll
The CMonitor cMon object is exposed and could be initialized from another VB.NET project and following with a call cMon.Start("NCR 7167 Receipt").
In Start function of CMonitor object, a CreateThread function is called which perform another thread; here it is TimerThreadProc(). The TimerThreadProc function calls TimerThread function of CMonitor object. A TimerThread calls a GetNCRMonStatus function. This function never return properly.
GetNCRMonStatus function is a function that calling an exported function from NCRPOSAPI.dll.
If I call the "GetNCRMonStatus" function directly from the Start function ( not put it in the function of CreateThread), it will work fine.
Something conflict in multiple threads and calling a function from a DLL which is loaded at run time.
I have no linking problem, the app. is not working. I want to keep communicating to printer and get the printer status back. But after the first polling, the thread is lost and exited. Please help !!!!
I want to attach the zip file of my C++ project, but don't know how... Below is the functions and methods related... Hope you could help.

You can not load a DLL and have a new thread start in the same sequence. Windows prevents this.
Your thread will only begin to run after the 'loading' of the DLL has completed.
It would be better not to have ANYTHING done within the 'path' of the DLL_OROCESS_ATTACH orCOM modules Init routines. A separate 'start' should be issued once your application has stabilized, or AFTER all the calls to LoadLibrary have completed.

Hello @all =)
I am actually working on a project which should make installation, configuration and custmoization of Windows XP a better experience than working with unattended stuff.
What I need is a 3in1 application.
<br />
#1 - Installation assistant<br />
#2 - Configuration assistant<br />
#3 - Customization assistant<br />
The name X-10 stands for 10 ways of customization.
A short guide what X-10 shall do.
- Give integrated driver support for nearly all hardware available _/ <-done
- use of a Windows Preinstallation Environment for building the installation
configuration (through XML)
- Windows installation Assistant - 3 step Setup _/ <-needs work (40% done)
- 10 Presetpacks selectable through the Assistant /
(Shellpack,Registrypack,Applicationpack,Fontpack, CustomSystem32pack
Optionalpack and Userdefined mode) _/ <-needs work (60% done)
- Customizing Systemfiles (usb,tcp,wga,audio..)
- A new compression solution to make your installation faster and smaller.
(Recompression of all setup files into a single archive which is handled by
the Preinstalltion Environment.
This makes original setup step 1 unneccessary and speeds up the rest.)
- A special updatepack for Windows XP SP2 which integrates the latest updates and more (serebys work).
- And last but not least, shrinking of the CD size. (thanks to nuhi's nLite)
[b]Do you want to join my X-10 Project?[/b]
I hope u will or u know other creative people who are familiar with programming.
The more people we are the faster and better we will be.
This is project is so complex that it is splitted into 3 projects which are modular and can be used single.
1st-Project: PE-X10
Customized Windows PE (or barts PE..) to prepare the setup.
2nd: X-10
PresetPacks (creating Shell-, Registry-, Application- ,Font- and CustomSystem32packs) for the assitant.
3rd: THIS IS FINISHED (by another guy)
Universal Driverpacks to enable nearly all devices on Windows XP without the need of bloated drivers.
I hope I get much feedback, ideas or recommendations.
NOW YOU CAN RECOMMONDATE WISHES OR WANTED FEATURES!!;)
when this projects finishes its 1st phase, I will make a projectwebsite for it.
To code the Installaller you need to know Visual C++, I visualize a MediaCenter like menu.
I will make this project opensource in sf.net when it finishes.
This means when all functions, replacements and hacks are initiated by the assitant and not by replacing files  .
