String Table of Resources

Hello

I have a menu in the resource table with the default identifiers in the string table. But when I add a new menu item in the menu with a new identifier in a string table that menu item is displayed inactive.

Now if I change the identifier to the existing identifiers in the string
table which are not added by me then the menu item is active.

How to add new item in the string table

MFC or Non-MFC?

How are you doing it? Can you give a bit more info and/or a snippet of your string table?

Regards.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply
I have made a project in VC++ with MFC without Doc-View architecture.

I added a string in the string table and used the same string for menu item.

If you don't have a message handler the menu item will be disabled by default. You might also want an OnUpdate* handler to set the active state depending on a condition.

In the resource editor, right-click the item and select"Add Event Handler" (or something similar in your VS version)

Callback Routine Not Getting Triggered

ExtraLean2-Apr-09 21:03

I've created a very simple one-button MFC dialog app that attempts to utilize a callback function. The app complies and runs just fine, but the callback routine never gets triggered.

What needs to be modified in order to get the callback to trigger properly?

You can download the test.zip file here (the test app is in VS 2003 to ensure more people can try it out): http://tinyurl.com/testfile-zip

The code utilizes an alarm class posted here on CodeProject, and the callback function in the test app is suppsed to get triggered every 3 seconds (as determined by the code being passed in).

Thanks!

As Cedric said, you've not really given us anything to help you with.

I did a named pipe application (accurately, two applications!) using named pipes, and I just followed the samples on MSDN in the documentation.

Both from MSDN:
Multithreaded Pipe Server[^]
Named Pipe Client[^]

Enjoy!

One problem I had was making a named pipe accessible across the network by any user.

DWORD	CNamedPipeServer::ServerThread ()
{
	// Set up security attributes so anyone can login.
	SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES sa;
	SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR	sd;

	if (!InitializeSecurityDescriptor (&sd, SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_REVISION))
		return 0; //MSG_PIPE_CREATE_FAILED;
	SetSecurityDescriptorDacl (&sd, TRUE, NULL, FALSE);

	sa.nLength = sizeof (sa);
	sa.bInheritHandle = FALSE;
	sa.lpSecurityDescriptor = &sd;
	BOOL	bLog = FALSE;

	// Create pipe
	char	pipename [512];
	lstrcpy (pipename, "\\\\.\\pipe\\");
	lstrcat (pipename, m_PipeName);

	m_hPipe = ::CreateNamedPipe (pipename,
		PIPE_ACCESS_DUPLEX | FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH | FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED,
		PIPE_TYPE_BYTE | PIPE_READMODE_BYTE | PIPE_WAIT,
		1, 0, 0, 100000, &sa);

You don't have to use overlapped I/O - but it fitted my application. Just note the sa and sd variables.

Good luck,

Iain.

Space in EDIT BOX

Hi All

How can i prevent to enter space in Edit box?

Re: Space in EDIT BOX

Check EN_CHANGE notification. Get the string from the edit box and store it if it does not contain space. When the user changes the string by entering a char, take the updated string and check if there is a space. If affirmative, replace the string with the old one that did not have space.
Hope this helps

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

Either subclass your own edit control and do the filtering there, or be lazy and search and download source for a masked edit control. There are plenty of those around on a website near you.

can anybody explain how can i read from a file in CString onject using fstream.
CString str
fstream fin
fin.open(^);
fin.read((char *)str.GetBuffer(0),str.GetLength()* sizeof(TCHAR));
fin.close

this code is not working while m able to write the same way in file but not able to read
fin.write((char *)str.GetBuffer(0),str.GetLength()*sizeof(TCHAR));

plz help thank u

You must specify a proper length .
How many bytes do you want to read?

You have to specify a length.
That is why that parameter exists in the read function.

I think you should first read it using a normal array. (Without CString).

In that case, you should probably read a character at a time, adding them to the CString, until you reach some character that indicates the end of the path.

Two things I see, your read:

fin.read((char *)str.GetBuffer(0),str.GetLength()* sizeof(TCHAR));

str.GetLength() in this case will be 0 since the string is empty, so you're telling the read to get 0 characters!

You most likely know the maximum size you need, in which case you can use something like

fin.read((char *)str.GetBuffer(1024),1024 * sizeof(TCHAR));

You must also call str.ReleaseBuffer(), and if the data you read is not null terminated, you'll need to set the length by using

str.ReleaseBuffer(iBytesRead);

Hope that helps.

Hi All,

I am creating one popupdialog from mainwindow. The dialog gets poppedup and iam using one timer function to popup. I am using one edit control in mainwindow . My problem is after getting poppedup the focus on the main window loses and also on the edit control in mainwindow. How to avoid this stealing of focus by a popup dialog??

How can I paste data to other windows (who ever is accepting) ? [modified]

2-Apr-09 17:07

When I click a hot key combination (Ctrl+Shift+P) my program do copy some text to the clibboard,

So I can paste it to any window by holding Ctrl+V

Now I like to automate this and be able to do the Ctrl+V programatically,

Lets assume I just want to paste just anything to other windows - so I can get started,

I have tried this, but I guess I'm missing something:

SendMessage(WM_PASTE, 0,0);

also tried:

BroadcastSystemMessage(BSF_POSTMESSAGE | BSF_IGNORECURRENTTASK,
BSM_ALLCOMPONENTS,
WM_PASTE,
(WPARAM)NULL,
(LPARAM)NULL);

I'd like to broadcast a "paste" message (or "Ctrl+V") so I will not have to find the current active window and get its focus,

Any suggestions ?
