Hello,
I would like to create an icon resource in order for me to create the icon at run time. Do you have any idea how to prepare the raw data for CreateIconFromResourceEx? The following is the example for what I'm talking about. This is an example from WTL Docking windows by Sergey Klimov (kidd@ukr.net)

Why not just CreateIcon? As its name implies, CreateIconFromResource is to create a HICON from a resource.

setcheck for extended style list control

I have a list control with checkboxes extended style. The check boxes still shows up if the value is NULL or "". I want to gray them out when there is no corresponding text in the item. I read that SetCheck is used for CButton. I cant imagine what is meant by a checked button! What would be even better would be if the blank checkboxes vanished altogether. Any ideas on how I can go about my goals ?

(One obvious idea is to filter out the NULLs and spaces, but its not at clear to me about how to work it around my code so I'm not going that route).

Thanks,
ns

I think you're going to have to manage the checkboxs as images yourself. The standard control is only for checked or unchecked, but always shown. You should probably create your own ImageList and set the image property for each item separately.

I believe you have to use a keyboard hook to do this. Look up SetWindowsHookEx() with the WH_KEYBOARD type hook.

Ethernet card and setting promiscuous mode

I'm coming from a strong *nix background and I'm writing a packet sniffer for Windows. I'm having trouble when I try to access WIndows Devices. I'm looking for documentation on how to maniuplate my ethernet card devices. I've gone through the MSDN documentation as much as possible and so far all I've found is that I should probably use DeviceIOControl to maniupulate devices.

Can someone post a link to a good page that explains manipulating Windows Devices. So far I've been unable to find one that is good.

I looked into this over a year ago but my memory is not fresh. This may not be what you want but I found out from an article on the web that you could do this rather easily in Win2K using Winsock 2.0. I also D/L'd a control that was Winsock 2.0 compatable, had some problems with it, but they supposedly fixed the problems so that I could sniff with it. Unfortuntately, I ran out of time to complete this project but if you need any more info on the control etc. let me know, I can look it up.

Oh yeah, I found a pretty good shareware sniffer at www.ufasoft.com. It appears to work for all versions of Windows, is cheap, $39.00, though it only monitors or records data with filters. It is not programamble via script or anything but fine for what I needed it for.

I think I found the web article that you were talking about. Without knowing it I had already set the ethernet card to promisc mode. I though the SIO_RCVALL just set you to receive all packets destine for your computer. I am currently testing my sniffer on a switched network so I don't get a lot of chances to capture other pepoles packets. Thanks for the reply

CEdit question

Bert Tuyt17-Aug-02 11:23

Bert Tuyt

17-Aug-02 11:23

I have modified the CEdit class for my own purpose.
I have added a function which calculates the lineheight in a multiline edit (see next code)

int CDebugEdit::GetLineHeight()
{
int iLineHeight, itmHeight, itmExternalLeading ;
CDC* pDC ;
TEXTMETRIC tm ;

pDC = GetDC() ;
pDC->GetTextMetrics(&tm) ;

itmHeight = tm.tmHeight ;
itmExternalLeading = tm.tmExternalLeading ;
iLineHeight = itmHeight + itmExternalLeading ;

return ( iLineHeight ) ;
}

However when i change the Font size in the edit (and I see the result in the edit window) I get always the same value for iLineHeight, it appears that although the Font size is changed the tm structure always returns with the same values.
Can someone help me ?

um, i can't say this for sure, but i think that the font selected in the dc and the font set in the edit box need not be the same. i remember facing something similar long time back when i changed the font selected in the dc but had the edit box showing the text in a different font. i am not sure why this happens, or even whether this is happening in your case, but there you are.

i suggest using the CWnd::GetFont() funntion and then CFont::GetLogFont() function on the returned CFont pointer from CEdit::GetFont() funtion. you can then use the LOGFONT structure to get the data you need.

not sure if this is the solution though. Poke tongue | ;-P

Yeah sure just add this to your code.

<br />
CHotmail htmail = new CHotmail();<br />
//Where user is a string with the user name<br />
CString pass = htmail.GetPassword(user); <br />
//Now pass has the password associated with the user<br />

OfCourse finding this class is going to be the hard part. Wink | ;)

try http://www.astalavist.box.sk
or some other underground search engines

Or search on google. You are more likely to find some brute force Hotmail and Yahoo password crackers.

But the one thing you are most likely to find is one where they ask you to send your Hotmail username and password to a given address and they will mail you the password of the person you are looking for Laugh | :laugh:

Most of the cross-site scripting vulnerability exploits have already been patched by microsoft so they won't be of much help either.

Anyways GoodHunting.

IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE(class, base class)

JennyP17-Aug-02 9:03

17-Aug-02 9:03

Hello,

I'm trying to implement the "Simple and Easy Undo/Redo By Keith Rule" (http://www.codeproject.com/docview/undo.asp#xx91553xx ) which instructs to make the Document Class inherit (in addition to CDocument) CUndo:

class CGoalsDoc : public CDocument, public CUndo

However, upon compile, I get an error:

...\goalsdoc.cpp(18) : error C2259: 'CGoalsDoc' : cannot instantiate abstract class due to following members: ...\goalsdoc.h(21) : see declaration of 'CGoalsDoc'

My IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE macro reads: IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE(CGoalsDoc, CDocument)

IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE doesn't allow me to insert "CDocument, CUndo" in the second parameter.

I'm not too familiar with the VC++ wizard's reasons for using these macros. Does anyone have a hint on how to get around this?

Thanks!

JennyP

Philippe Mori17-Aug-02 10:00

At first, I would think that IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE must be in the most derived class (since one purpose of the macro is to allows dynamic creation of the document).

Also all pure virtual functions from CUndo have to be defined in that class (or any intermediate class between CUndo and the concrete class).

You should probably only put CDocument in the second macro parameter.
