sorry it is type error the variable is an object of CTestFontDialog.

All what i need is to use a modified CFontDialog which has font, font style, and size fields this modified font dialog should be called from an sdi application (Class edit view).

Why are you not doing something like:

CFontDialog dlg;
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
{
    LOGFONT lf;
    dlg.GetCurrentFont(&lf);
    CString strFontName = dlg.GetFaceName();
    CString strStyleName = dlg.GetStyleName();
    int nSize = dlg.GetSize();
    ...
}

that is okay but the dialog should have less elements that the original CFontDialog, it should have
Font, font style and font size drop down menu. How can i blind out the other drop down menus?

remove item from STL list<class> problem</class>

hi all

I am writing a application in which i use the stl list. through this list i m able to inserting the items but not able to remove the item from specific position. this is my class
class ClipEntry
{
public:
//CoInitialize(NULL);
ClipEntry();
ClipEntry(const ClipEntry& r);
~ClipEntry();
const ClipEntry& operator=(const ClipEntry& r);
bool operator == (const ClipEntry& r);

private:

IGraphBuilder *m_pGraph;
IUnknown *m_pSinkFilter;
string m_strName;
REFERENCE_TIME m_tOffset;
REFERENCE_TIME m_tStart;
REFERENCE_TIME m_tStop;

// rewound ready to re-use
bool m_bPrimed;
};

I am inserting the items like this
HRESULT ClipPlayer::AddClip(char* path, ClipEntry** ppClip)
{
list<ClipEntry>::iterator it;
it = m_Clips.insert(m_Clips.end(), ClipEntry());
ClipEntry *pClip = &(*it);
*ppClip = pClip;
.........
}

but when i write the remove function like this

void ClipPlayer::RemoveClip(ClipEntry *pClip)
{

m_Clips.erase(&pClip);
// find(m_Clips.begin(),m_Clips.end(),pClip);

}

i am getting error
Could not find a match for 'list<ClipEntry,allocator<ClipEntry> >::erase(ClipEntry * *)'

how i solve this problem Confused | :confused:

It seems like you're mixing up what type you're storing in the list...
You don't include the declaration for the m_Clips member variable.
Does it store ClipEntry or ClipEntry*?

The compiler error a probably caused by the fact that std::list::erase()
expects an iterator as argument and not a pointer to an element in the list.

so how i pass this argumet in the erase()?

i am getting the whole value of the list in the ClipEntry *pClip which i want to remove.

RemoveClip(ClipEntry *pClip)

As Stuart said, std::list::remove is the function you should use as it expects a reference to an instance of the type controlled by the container.
In code it should look something like this:

std::list<ClipEntry*> m_Clips;
....
void ClipPlayer::RemoveClip( ClipEntry* pClip )
{
    m_Clips.remove( pClip );
}

Is your m_Clips really declared as above? I.e., does it store pointers to ClipEntrys?
If it does, you shouldn't need to write a comparison operator for ClipEntry since std::list::remove() would simply compare the pointers in order to find a match. (Referring to you ongoing discussion with Stuart.)

You want std::list::remove, not std::list::erase.

m_Clips.remove(*pClip);

when i use m_Clips.remove(*pClip);

then i got error
'operator==' not implemented in type 'ClipEntry' for arguments of the same type

while i already implement the operator== like this

bool ClipEntry::operator ==(const ClipEntry &r)
{

if(m_tOffset != r.m_tOffset) return 0;
if(m_pGraph != r.m_pGraph) return 0;
if(m_pSinkFilter != r.m_pSinkFilter) return 0;
if(m_strName != r.m_strName) return 0;
if(m_tStart !=r.m_tStart) return 0;
if(m_tStop != r.m_tStop) return 0;
if(m_bPrimed != r.m_bPrimed) return 0;
return 1;
}

then what should i do for this

bool ClipEntry::operator ==(const ClipEntry &r)

should be

bool ClipEntry::operator ==(const ClipEntry &r) const

You can use of CImage class for save and display images/you can use of a ImageList for clitctrl for show these images on the list for make a folder you can use of CreateDirectory.

Setup and deployment project Shortcut creating problem

Hi
Facing a problem friends.... plz help

I have a windows application with several executable and Dll's, and I am trying to make an installer to packge them all together and generate a Setup program.
For this I am using Setup and Deployment project of MSVC 2005. The Installer I am making is working perfectly except It cannot create a desktop shortcut Icon and add a shortcut to the users program menu.
The project has an option to select the short cut, but it only allows you to select the folder where the shorcut is and not the executable file for which you want to make the shortcut

How do I select the executable file for which I want to make adesktop short cut and Icon ?

Confused | :confused:

Thanx in advance
Plz Help

By all means click on any such folder, you may see exes and other stuff!
If you can't find any in Application Folder, first select your exes and dlls to File System of Setup project. Then do the following steps.

1. Open File System
2. Select User's Desktop
3. Left click on left pane
4. Click on Create Shortcut ...
5. Look in : File System on Target Machine
you can see some folders listed as
Application Folder
System Folder etc
Click on the folder.
6. Select the EXE for shortcut.

Thanks a lot friend.....can u be more specific.. I can do the steps u have mentioned but not these steps

5. Look in : File System on Target Machine
you can see some folders listed as
Application Folder
System Folder etc
Click on the folder.
6. Select the EXE for shortcut

In my case, after clicking on the create shortcut ... I see the shortcut and the aproperty window... where I cannot select any file as executable...It only gives you the option to browse through folders. I mean I have the shortcut but how do I make it link to the executable file.

I am using MSVC 2005

thanks again

Let me confirm your actions;

You clicked on User's Desktop icon at the left pane/splitter window of File System tab, to pop-up a submenu and clicked on Create Shortcut on User's Desktop. The result was a new entry, named something like Shortcut to User's Desktop on the right pane/splitter. Is that right ?

If so, you just set the Target property of the new shortcut with your desired file name. (No need to specify the folder) - any way am not that much sure about this way. I will give you another fool proof way.

Just click User's Desktop, the right pane might be empty now. Click on the right pane so that you get a pop-menu like the one you seen in the previous steps. Select Create New Shortcut , the result will be a File Open Dialog (Step 5 on previous post) and continue the other steps which I described in previous post. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

If this one doesn't worked, tell me your personal e-mail id, I will send the screen shots. (I don't know whether I can upload a zip file to Codeproject)

It works but ... The Icon cannot launch the executable,
actually I have a "Bin" folder under application folder where I keep the Binaries... I can select the executable from it..but in the runtime it does'nt serve the purpose

and all the file stays even after uninstalltion ... how to deal with that ....

here is my email id sen_ranojay@email.com any suggestion and help invited

thanks a lot
