I have a dialog based app, when I want to change window's position form the OnInitDialog() it doesn't work. The same code works fine form OnBnClickedOk()?!? How to setup window's position before it is shown?
My test code in OnInitDialog() and OnBnClickedOk():
SetWindowPos(&wndTop,0,0,0,0,SWP_NOSIZE);
Thanks in advance.

In your OnInitDialog() override are you calling the base class' OnInitDialog() first before calling SetWindowPos()?

Yes, I'm calling SetWindowPos() just before final 'return TRUE;' statement. This dialog window is created form new thread in this way:
....
CMyDialog m_lister(CDialog::FromHandle(GetDesktopWindow()));
m_pMainWnd=(CWnd *)&m_lister;
m_lister.DoModal();
....
Thanks for Your help.

Actually the above call works fine (as it should do...) inside OnInitDialog() on my system (Win2k). I made a test using the CAboutDlg

In my CAboutDlg it is working too, but not in main dialog...(?!?)
My CDialog derived class is created on a new thread form CWinThread::InitInstance() using code like this:
....
CListerDialog m_lister(CDialog::FromHandle(GetDesktopWindow()));
m_pMainWnd=(CWnd *)&m_lister;
m_lister.DoModal();
....
hmmm, any idea why simple SetWindowPos() call doesnt work??
Thanks for help.

Hu....Wy are you doing that....
Anyway, I think you have to use ::GetDesktopWindow() insted of GetDesktopWindow().

"that" - You mean, setting parent window to Desktop?? I set it to have "full thread separated" dialogs. When I pass NULL to the constructor then my 'child' window minimize when I minimize my main dialog window. When I set Desktop window as its parent, I can minimize both windows independently (plus, my 'child' window has its own entry in taskbar;)
Isn't that right?

You could override PreCreateWindow().
In the override, call the base class PreCreateWindow() then change the x,y,cx,cy members of the
passed CREATESTRUCT.
Or not for a dialog

MFC determines whether it should auto-center a dialog by comparing its RECT before and after your OnInitDialog() runs. (See _AfxPreInitDialog() and _AfxPostInitDialog().) If the RECT is the same before and after, then MFC centers it. If the dialog's default position is (0,0) then your SetWindowPos() call won't move it, and it will be centered.
You can either use another position, or call ShowWindow(SW_SHOW) in OnInitDialog() so _AfxPostInitDialog() won't do its auto-centering logic.

WOW, thanks Nice trick with this (0,0) window position;) Now it works fine. Thanks again

Use MoveWindow in OnInitDialog().

Hi all
The following code snippet....
ifstream f_;
f_.open(fname);
while(i < records_in_file) {
f_ >> data_[i].idx_ >> ws;
f_ >> data_[i].noOfRegs_ >> ws;
i++;
}
.. is reading the following file
0001 13
0002 24
0003 209
0004 85
0005 3
0006 122
0007 28
0008 9
0009 31
0010 27
… and so on …
All seems to work for the first 7 records, but when it comes to read the 8th record (i.e. “0008 9”), the first value it reads is 0 (zero) and then it reads the 8.
I can’t figure out what is going wrong. Any ideas? Is it something to do with ASCII screwing up the input stream.
As an aside I have also tried a “getline” solution, but run into similar problems.
Cheers

Any 'O' char (ASCII code 79) between zeroes?

No, I have copied/pasted from the above records (as they are zeroes) and also manually put in zeroes, but same result.
There are definitely 3 zeroes before the 8.

Can you please provide a code snippet showing the declaration of the variables?

Sure
In a header file
struct data {
int idx_;
int noOfRegs_;
} *data_;
.. and then later (in a function) ...
int records_in_file = 152;
CString fname = "..//Data//sta-f-83.crs";
data_ = new data[records_in_file];
// and this is what I posted earlier
ifstream f_;
f_.open(fname);
while(i < records_in_file) {
f_ >> data_[i].idx_ >> ws;
f_ >> data_[i].noOfRegs_ >> ws;
i++;
}
Thx
Graham

As a wild guess I'd say it's interpreting the numbers as octal due to the leading 0. 8 is not a legal octal digit so the stream stops reading after "000" which is why you get 0.

Thanks
So what do I do?

I don't know the stream classes well enough, I would guess that there is a function or manipulator that will make it parse numbers as base 10.

Use f_.setf(ios::dec) just befor reading values. For istance:
f_.setf(ios::dec);
while(i < records_in_file) {
f_ >> data_[i].idx_ >> ws;
f_ >> data_[i].noOfRegs_ >> ws;
i++;
}
I have to admit, Michael Dunn was very clever.

Just quickly tried it - need to fully test - but looks good.
Thanks both. I owe you one.
