That's nice. But what if the user clicks in another application and again come to yours?

Then they would have to click in my custom control again.

I could do a comparison of the new window against the main application and it's children, but the first method is easiest to implement at this stage. We will see how it pans out.

Well today I finaly get around to adding the code for the dialog and was hit with something quite unexpected.

Setting the parent member of CreateDialogParam() to my custom control, gives me exactly what I wanted. The main window is effectivly unclickable, while the control, dialog and all other applications remain unaffected.

Finally, MS got something right.

Well, that will print exactly this in the file: "\n".

Use oFile.Write("\r\n",2); (or "\n\r", I don't remember exactly).

But what is the magic between

oFile.Write(_T("code project\n"),sizeof(_T("code project\n")));

and

oFile.Write("code project",sizeof("code project"));
oFile.Write("\n",1);

Unsure | :~

Use:

oFile.WriteString("code project\n");

Hot Key Problem.

21-Sep-07 21:11

am using Hot key in one of my appliation.But there is a problem.
The Hot key combination works only when the focus is on that window Sniff | :^)

. while my application is runing in the background( Its a Win32 dialog based application and i make dialog hidden at startup)and so the Hot key is not working. Is there any way I can solve this. Confused | :confused:

I am using something like this now,

LRESULT CALLBACK MyDialogProc(HWND hWndDlg,....)
{
 ShowWindow(hWndDlg,SW_HIDE);
  switch(message)
	 {
          case  WM_INITDIALOG:
		 { 
	           InitCommonControls(); 
		   HWND hHotKey = GetDlgItem(hWndDlg,IDC_HOTKEY1);
		   if(!RegisterHotKey(hWndDlg , IDC_HOTKEY1, MOD_ALT | MOD_CONTROL,0x67))
           		 {
				dError = GetLastError();
				MessageBox(NULL,L"Hot Key Not Working ",L"Error",0);
			 }
					
						
	          }
		break;
	 case WM_HOTKEY:
	             ChangeString(hWndDlg);
	             break;
      }
}

Thnx in advance.....

From MSDN:
BOOL RegisterHotKey( HWND hWnd, int id, UINT fsModifiers, UINT vk);

id
[in] Specifies the identifier of the hot key.

but from your code, it seems the ID of a control window.
And where are you using hHotKey ?

Re: Hot Key Problem.

GauranG Shah23-Sep-07 20:09

Yes, IDC_HOTKEY1 is the cotrol ID of the Hotkey control which I have dragged from the ToolBox on my dialog box.

I am using Win32 Dialog Based Application. In that I have put the Hotkey Control and then I am using the previous code. The problem is that hotkey is working only when the focus is on dialog box. If the Focus is on other window.Hot Key combinations are not working.

I want to call some function when the combination of some key are pressed.And so I am using HotKey for that.

I almost looked this up for you, but I could not bring myself to do it. Any Windows help system will provide the answer, and several articles at CP.

Shortcut: look up my name and examine the code, I am sure the solution is in there some where.

I saw a code chunk like this:

// MP3FRAMEHEADER structure
struct MP3FRAMEHEADER
{
unsigned emphasis : 2; // M
unsigned original : 1; // L
unsigned copyright : 1; // K
unsigned modeext : 2; // J
unsigned chanmode : 2; // I
unsigned privbit : 1; // H
unsigned padding : 1; // G
unsigned samplerate : 2; // F
unsigned bitrate : 4; // E
unsigned hascrc : 1; // D
unsigned mpeglayer : 2; // C
unsigned mpegver : 2; // B
unsigned framesync : 11; // A
};

There,the number like 2,1,1,... means what?
It does not look like the initialized number of its front member?
Who would like to tell why the writer coding like above?
Thanks.

GOOD LUCK!
