add a WM_CTLCOLOR handler either in the dialog box
or
Add the same in a class which is derived from the CEdit. (Subclass or create a control variable of your edit box to this class)
see the following code snippet

HBRUSH CSampleDialogDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
	HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);

	if (CTLCOLOR_EDIT == nCtlColor)
	{
		pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(0xFF,0,0));
	}
	return hbr;
}

Note that, if you are trying the above code in a dialog, will replace color of all edit boxes in the dialog.

See MSDN to know more about WM_CTLCOLOR message

add Onctl function and add following code
HBRUSH hbr;
//HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);

if(nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_STATIC )
{
hbr=CreateSolidBrush(RGB(0,100,0));
pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(0,0,255));
pDC->SetBkColor(RGB(0,100,0));
//for text colour, also use this: pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(0,0,0));
}
else
{
if(nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_BTN)
{
hbr=CreateSolidBrush(RGB(0,100,0));
pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(0,0,1));
pDC->SetBkColor(RGB(0,100,0));
// pDC->SetBkColor(TRANSPARENT);
// for text colour, also use this: pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(0,0,0));
}
// hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
}
return hbr;

XML Namespace Problem [modified]

Hi,

I am using MSXML4.0 with VisualC++ 6.0.
I am not able to give XPath Queries for the xmls containing namespaces

Example:
SCL xmlns="http://www.iec.ch/61850/2003/SCL" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.iec.ch/61850/2003/SCL SCL.xsd"

If I try to use the XPATH /SCL the SelectSingleNode Function returns NULL
value.

What could be the reason. Please suggest possible solutions .

thanks in advance.

You're probably getting bitten by this[^].

XPath doesn't work if the document defines a default namespace. This behavior is by design Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

thanks for your reply.
but it is not helping us in anyway.

Actually we want to use XPath without including the prefixes.
If any example is available please share with us.

Huh?! If the XML elements you're looking for are in a namespace, you *must* specify that namespace in your XPath query. They are an integral part of the element's name; you can't just ignore them!

Hello all,

I have to create a pdf file from crystal without showing the report. I have the following code but it crashes with "memory can't be read". Anybody done this before?

CString m_csPath = "D:\\MyProg\\SendChecker\\Report\\quote.rpt";
CString csDskFile = "c:\\";

//first create the report
//Create an instance of the Application object
app->pApplication.CreateInstance("CrystalRuntime.Application.9");

//Use the File Dialog of the MFC to select the report file
BSTR FileName( m_csPath.AllocSysString());

//Open the report
app->pReport = app->pApplication->OpenReport( FileName );

csDskFile += a_csTrans;
csDskFile += ".pdf";
BSTR DskFile( csDskFile.AllocSysString() );

app->pReport->ExportOptions->FormatType = crEFTPortableDocFormat;
app->pReport->ExportOptions->PDFExportAllPages = TRUE;
app->pReport->ExportOptions->DestinationType = crEDTDiskFile;
app->pReport->ExportOptions->DiskFileName = DskFile;

VARIANT_BOOL pBool = FALSE;

app->pReport->Export( pBool ); //crashes here, why?

plz explain clearly

I am writing some instruction below, these r the part of coding .
can you explain these instruction. and also what they do?

m_fCDBFile.write(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&m_Header.nNoOfRecords),sizeof(m_Header.nNoOfRecords));
m_fCDBFile.write(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&m_Header.nSizeOfHeader),sizeof(m_Header.nSizeOfHeader));
m_fCDBFile.write(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&m_Header.nSizeOfRecords),sizeof(m_Header.nSizeOfRecords));
m_fCDBFile.write(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&m_Header.nNoOfFields),sizeof(m_Header.nNoOfFields));

from MSDN:
The reinterpret_cast allows the pointer to be treated as an integral type. The result is then bit-shifted and XORed with itself to produce a unique index (unique to a high degree of probability). The index is then truncated by a standard C-style cast to the return type of the function.

First can you clarify what is the type of m_Header.nNoOfRecords. write takes two arguments a
const char_type *_Str - The string to be written
streamsize _Count - Meaning the number of bytes to be written

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Doubt in #define

I saw one line in my project..
CComboBox *cb1;
cb1 = (CComboBox*)GetDlgItem(IDC_BOXDETAIL1);

Then i searched for IDC_BOXDETAIL1,but no controls in my project with this ID.
After seraching it gives only these two lines
GraphConfig.cpp(90): cb1 = (CComboBox*)GetDlgItem(IDC_BOXDETAIL1);
resource.h(110):#define IDC_BOXDETAIL1 1038

I got confused without any controls in any dialog in the project,how it defines one valu..and onemore thing it works properly.

Can we define like this manually for control ID?

Anu_Bala wrote:

This is the unique ID for the control. there wont be no problem if a #define exists there.

the thing will get worse, if you add a control varibale for an existing control and if you delete that control from the resource file.

the #define may exists there in the resource.h file, so there wont be any compilation issue. But you will get an assertion in DoDataExchange function.
When we define control there will be an entry in the DoDataExchange something like this
DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_THIN_PEN_WIDTH, m_nThinWidth);
On deleting the control, it wont get removed.

Hope you clear.

You get the index of the element with the GetCurSel() function.
With the index you can get the text with GetText()

Iterate through the items in the list box using GetCount()
////// Check if the state of the item is set as selected
//////
for(int i=0;i<=m_pListBox.GetCount();i++)
m_pListBox.GetSel( i ) > 0 ? _T("true") : _T("false"));

//////Or use GetCurSel()

m_ListBox.GetCurSel(); that return currently selected item
and use m_ListBox.GetText() for retrieves a string from ListBox
