Did you read the link I gave you yesterday?

Actually in windows XP or later only a thread that own the current active foreground window has the privilege to set another window in foreground. So i guess when you create another process, your application loose the foreground window property

Are you using MFC? You could use the CFileFind class.

CFileFind ff;
BOOL res = ff.FindFile(_T("C:\\*.*")); //Or specify extension *.ini or file name (C:\\test.ini)

while(res)
{
    res = ff.FindNextFile();
    if (!ff.IsDots() && !ff.IsDirectory())
    {
        //Do Somthing with found file
        //Justed edited post with next lines
        TCHAR szTmpPath[MAX_PATH];
        _stprintf(szTmpPath, ff.GetFilePath());
    }
}

Ok this is a bit dirty, and untested code. But I have used something similar

void myFindFile(szPath)
{
	CFileFind ff;
        HANDLE hFindFile;
	
	CString path = szPath;
	if(path.Right(1) != "\\")
		path += "\\";

	path += "*.*";

	BOOL res = ff.FindFile(path);
	
	while(res)
	{
		res = ff.FindNextFile();
		if (!ff.IsDots() && !ff.IsDirectory())
		{
			if(_tcsstr(ff.GetFileName(), _T("test.ini")))
			{
				//Found your file
			}
		}
		else if (!ff.IsDots() && ff.IsDirectory())
		{
			path = ff.GetFilePath();
			myFindFile(path);
		}
	}
}

Basically pass the starting point to this function

myFindFile(_T("D:"))

This function will search for every file on that given path, plus inside each folder the while loop is where you look for the specific file.

Hope it helps.

Hey all,

I have written a utility to remove printer drivers from a system, but the only problem I have come across is refreshing the printer and faxes folder. The driver is removed properly but the printer icon stays in the folder view until I press F5 (to refresh the folder).

I have tried using SHChangeNotify but can't seem to get it working.. Sigh | :sigh:

Any help is appreciated.

You cannot insert data into a file on disk.
You will need to create a new file, delete the old file and then rename the new file to the old filename.

By reading the data into some sort of data structure. Add to that data structure as necessary. Write the data structure to disk. Use Superman's suggestion for the rest.

When you click inside an edit control, the control first receives WM_SETFOCUS message and then receives the WM_LBUTTONDOWN message. Since you're highlighting in the set focus, when the button down message is received, the highlight is lost.

To achieve this, you need to derive your own class from CEdit, handle the WM_LBUTTONDOWN message inside your class and subclass the edit control with your class.

The CAnimateCtrl class only understands AVI files and not GIF files.
GIF Animation Control[^] is a custom control derived from CStatic for showing animated GIFs.

Try to simply return TRUE to prevent expanding.

//CTreeCtrl m_tree;
NMTREEVIEW* pnmtv = (NMTREEVIEW*) pNMHDR;
		
	HTREEITEM item = pnmtv->itemNew.hItem; 
	
	if ( pnmtv->action == TVE_EXPAND )
	{
		if(m_tree.GetCheck(item)==0)
		{
			return TRUE;
		}
	}

Try this:

NMTREEVIEW* pnmtv = (NMTREEVIEW*)pNMHDR;			
HTREEITEM item = pnmtv->itemNew.hItem; 		
if ( pnmtv->action == TVE_EXPAND )	
{		
    if(m_tree.GetCheck(item)==0)		
    {			
        *pResult = 1;
        return;		
    }	
}

I think setting the *pResult = 1 will prevent the item from expanding or collapsing.

  //CTreeCtrl m_tree;
   NMTREEVIEW* pnmtv = (NMTREEVIEW*) pNMHDR;

HTREEITEM item = pnmtv->itemNew.hItem;

if ( pnmtv->action == TVE_EXPAND )
{
    if(m_tree.GetCheck(item)==0)
    {
                   *pResult = 1;
                    return;
            }
}

Application unresponsive when building a 32 bit MFC Print Application that uses StartDoc API on 64 bit OS as Win32 in Visual Studio 2008

BhaskarSomaya19-Jul-09 22:23

I have a 32 bit MFC Print Application that uses StartDoc API for printing. In 32 bit OS i didn't configure any Default Print Driver, then on File Print I selected Microsoft XPS Document Writer. A "Save as File" Dialog (MODAL) pops up which runs in the same Process as that of Application. Now I have tried to build the same Application in 64 bit OS using Visual Studio 2008. Here also i didn't configure any Defualt Print Driver. On File Print I selected Microsoft XPS Document Writer. A "Save as File" Dialog pops up which runs in a different Process from the Application. In this sceneario File Save As Dialog is becoming Modeless which is yeilding undesired results - I'm able to access the "Cancel Printing" dialog (the same cannot be accessed on 32-bit OS as File Save As is MODAL) and on clicking 'cancel' in this dialog, the Application hangs ( becomes unresponsive ). If I now navigate to the "Save as File" Dialog, and click Cancel or Save I can proceed.
Can anyone Explain why this difference in behavior is observed when StartDoc API is used?
Is there some option to disable the "Cancel Printing" dialog or make the "Save as File" Dialog MODAL for a 32-bit application in a 64-bit OS?

We have following code

CComPtr<IWshRuntimeLibrary::IFileSystem> fileSystem;

fileSystem->DeleteFolder((wchar_t*)ServerPath, VARIANT_TRUE);

fileSystem->DeleteFolder() is failing . Can I know when this happens and what could be the solution.

Thanks.

Why are you using the above said IWshRuntimeLibrary for deleting a folder when you have API's ?IWshRuntimeLibrary is something related to .net isnt it? Or are you coding in CLI ?
