I think it's a different and strange problem because it works fine in debug mode.
The font I select is the "default" font which user is using, but I control the height and weight so it should not be the problem:
logFont.lfHeight = 35; // 3/4th inch high in MM_LOENGLISH
logFont.lfWeight = 400;//700;//max bold
CFont font;
if (font.CreateFontIndirect(&logFont))
pOldFont = pDC->SelectObject(&font);
Thanks.

yeah, i think it is called caret, the sign ( | ) is always flashing on the control

You could adjust the order of the controls in the dialog
so a different control gets the initial focus.

And/or you can use SetFocus() or WM_NEXTDLGCTL/GotoDlgCtrl()
to move the focus to a different control.

I just saw a method HideCaret(), but it didnt work
this->GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1)->HideCaret(); is this right?

HideCaret is a bad idea unless you're the one that called ShowCaret.

I have only one control on my dialog, if so, what should i do?

thanks

Re: Hide cursor on CEdit?

In your dialog class OnOnitDialog() override, try

SetFocus();
...
return FALSE; //<-- just doing this may work

You can also disable the control, but it will look different.
You can also use a static text control, but it too will look different (although
you can maybe use WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC to provide a specific background).

That's all I can think of at the moment Smile | :)

No problem.

Did you get a solution? If so, what worked?

BTW, I still think it's silly that read-only edit controls show the caret Smile | :)

How else would you copy text from them?

Can you change the Z-order of the controls, such that this edit control is not the first one given focus? Or, can you disable the control?

You need it enabled but read-only, is that right?

Nothing, when there is only one control.

yeah, that is read only

Re: Hide cursor on CEdit?

David Crow1-Nov-07 4:14

So what is the purpose of this read-only control?

Re: Hide cursor on CEdit?

Gofur Halmurat1-Nov-07 4:30

1-Nov-07 4:30

The purpose is to show some text on it, that is all

Re: Hide cursor on CEdit?

David Crow1-Nov-07 4:32

1-Nov-07 4:32

Then why not just use a static control, or a disabled edit control?

Re: Hide cursor on CEdit?

Because the Cedit control supports a link, or colored text, that is why i am using it, or what else would u recomment?

You can have colored text just as easily with a standard static control.

Yeah, i just found an article about it, here is the link
I am gonna use CStatic instead of CEdit, but i am still wondering, why can not we hide caret?.....
anyway the topic is open to discuss!!!

Thanks David.

Convert a char[ ] to int[ ]

NYTSX31-Oct-07 4:59

31-Oct-07 4:59

Hey all,

What is the easiest way to convert a char[] to an int[]so that the elements of the int array are the combination of 4 char elements?
Here is an example of what I mean;

if

  <code>
char tempChar[8] = {0};
int  tempInt[2]  = {0};

tempChar[0] = 0x00;
tempChar[1] = 0x11;
tempChar[2] = 0x22;
tempChar[3] = 0x33;
tempChar[4] = 0x44;
tempChar[5] = 0x55;
tempChar[6] = 0x66;
tempChar[7] = 0x77;</code>

how do I get

  <code>
tempInt[0] = 0x00112233;
tempInt[1] = 0x44556677;</code>

Thanks!
