For a spin control, for setting range property you have depend on CSpinButtonCtrl::SetRange() [^] function itself.

You can set 'Auto Buddy' property of the spin control to True. This property will automatically attach spin control to the pervious window (editbox in this case) in z-order. You may have to set the 'Set Buddy Integer' property to True as well.

I have made the Auto Buddy property of spin control as true and also set the Set Buddy Integer as true.
I didn't get "in z-order"
Is there any changes to be done in the properties of edit box

You will have to make sure that edit box comes before the spin control in tab order. You can open the dialog in resource view and press Ctrl+D to make sure that the tab order is correct.

I made the tab order as u said.One more question can we give the range say for example 0 - 40 in the edit box which can be incremented or decremented by the spin control (by clicking upward and downward arrow).If yes then where to put it.
Thanks

Thanks,
I did the same.
Now please tell me how set the range

You can use CSpinButtonCtrl class for setting the range for spin control. You can use CSpinButtonCtrl::SetRange() function.

For details on how to use the class please refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sfac27cz(VS.80).aspx[^]

How to use WIN32_FIND_DATA to find whole disk drive ?

Hello everyone !

I want to find some files in the whole disk drive , the code like this :

void C***Dlg::EmuFiles(CString strPath, CString strType)
{
	WIN32_FIND_DATA	data;
	CString			csPath(strPath);
	csPath = csPath + "\\*." +strType;

	HANDLE	handle	=	FindFirstFile((LPCSTR)csPath,&data);   
	BOOL	ret		=	(BOOL)handle;
	while(ret)   
	{   
		if(data.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)
		{   
			if(data.cFileName[0]   !=   '.')     // if is Directory ,continue  
			{   
				csPath   =   strPath;
				csPath   +="\\";
				csPath   +=   data.cFileName;
				EmuFiles(csPath,strType);
			}   
		}   
		else	 
		{   
			csPath   =   strPath;				// if find the type file, add it it to the ListBox 
			csPath   +="\\";   
			csPath   +=   data.cFileName;   
			m_ListBox.InsertString(nCount,csPath);
			m_ListBox.SetCurSel(nCount);
			m_nTotal = nCount;
			UpdateData(FALSE);
			nCount ++;
		}   
		ret = FindNextFile(handle,&data);   
	} 
	
	// end find.
	FindClose(handle);  
}

when I use EmuFiles("C:\WINDOWS","exe"), it can be found.

but if I use EmuFiles("C:","exe"),it can't be found as more.

how to set the WIN32_FIND_DATA's parameters to find whole disk?

You should ideally be calling it as
EmuFiles(_T("C:\\Windows"), _T("exe"));
and
EmuFiles(_T("C:"), _T("exe"));

What in the world is this? If FindFirstFile() fails, it will return -1, thus assigning TRUE to ret.

wangningyu wrote:
UpdateData(FALSE);

While I would not use this at all, I especially would not use it in a loop.

This should not even compile.

Which means what exactly? Do you have any .exe files/folders in your root folder?

Don't use the extension as the parameter for FindFirstFile/FindNextFile, use "*.*" and then filter out the files with the extension you're looking for. This is probably also the reason why it doesn't recurse into directories.

any else ?

You lost me.

Anyway, try something like this:

BOOL EnumFilesRecursive(CString csStartDir)
{
  CString csCurFile;
  CString csDir = csStartDir;
  if (csDir.Right(1) != "\\")
    csDir += "\\";

  csDir += "*.*";

  CFileFind ff;
  BOOL bWorking = ff.FindFile(csDir);

  while (bWorking == TRUE)
  {
    bWorking = ff.FindNextFile();
    if (ff.IsDirectory())
    {
      if (ff.IsDots())
        continue;
      
      EnumFilesRecursive(ff.GetFilePath());
    }
    else
    {
      //it's a file. Check the extension if it fits your criteria.
      csCurFile = ff.GetFilePath();
    }
  }

  return TRUE;
}

Edit: code corrected.

Asyncronus class and your method

Ruscoff15-Dec-09 11:26

Hi all,
i've a question(hypothetical situation):
There are two class

class1 with a void funct_cl1()and other methods;

(class1 use observer paradigm, funct_cl1 will be called with high frequency)

class2 is a thread with some functions;

In class2 i initialized class1 pointer like this: class1* cls1 = new class1() and i use some method of its but never funct_cl1.

if i put in pause (p.e with a long sleep) the thread of class2, the funct_cl1 belong to cls1 can be anyway executed with observer paradigm or is it block?

Regards

Marco

Hi Marco, I try an answer.

Yes you can call a method from another thread, any object can be accessed from other threads. The real question is if the called functionality will be multithreading safe. Maybe this isn't even an issue in your case and you just wondered about ownership: Sleep() will only stop execution of one thread, but not prevent memory access from other threads. For example if class 2 creates an object of class1, which then is only used/called from another thread context, you don't even have to worry about multithreading (as long as lifetime of "class2 object thread" is longer than "class1 object thread").

Hope it helps

Try this.

1)Please check the return value from IpAddr.Create(.....); function.
2)Make sure that CIPAddressCtrl IpAdd is not a local variable to a function. This will destroy object after function call.

VS2008 CMFCToolbar and inserting a combo box

Jerry Evans15-Dec-09 4:29

Jerry Evans

15-Dec-09 4:29

The VS2008 toolbar stuff is driving me nuts. The SetButtonInfo() call now seems to take an image index as 4th parameter rather than a width. I can create an embedded combobox if the button is set to TBBS_SEPARATOR but the combo overpaints the drop-arrow used to customise the toolbar. Anyone got an example that works?

Thx++

Using function from other class

blackbolek15-Dec-09 2:41

Hi,

I've got an application with 3 dialogs: Monitor, UnitView, GroupStart. Each dialog has it's class named accordingly. Monitor is a main dialog which opens at the start of application. By clicking button on Monitor dialog you can open UnitView dialog. It is done like that:

<br />
        unitviewdialog[selection] = new CUnitView();<br />
	unitviewdialog[selection]->SetParent(this);<br />
<br />
	unis[selection] = new CDlgModalToModeless();<br />
	unis[selection]->DoDialog(unitviewdialog[selection]);<br />

Then on UnitView dialog you can click on next button to open GroupStart dialog:

<br />
                CGroupStart* dlg = new CGroupStart(this);<br />
		<br />
		dlg->DoModal();<br />
		delete dlg;<br />

There is a function SendMsg() which is public member of CMonitorDlg class, and which I need to use. I mean I have to call it from function which is public member of CGroupStart class.
Here is first few lines of this function:

<br />
BOOL CMonitorDlg::SendMsg(int destination, char *typec, char *content)<br />
{<br />
<br />
	int sum = 0;		<br />
<br />
  	coutbuff[0] = STX;  <br />
	coutbuff[1] = '0';<br />
	coutbuff[2] = '0';<br />

coutbuff is declared as char[410] and is public member of CMonitorDlg class.

Now - I'm calling this function from CGroupStart like that:

<br />
void CGroupStart::OnGstart() <br />
{<br />
char grpcmd[5];<br />
<br />
	if (groupid<0 || groupid>20)<br />
		return;<br />
<br />
	sprintf (grpcmd,"%d;1",groupid);<br />
	<br />
	((CMonitorDlg*)m_pWnd)->SendMsg(unit, "MO", grpcmd);<br />
<br />

The application crashes at this moment with Access Violation error.
I tried to run it under debugger, step by step and it took me to second line of SendMsg() function where it tries to assign STX to coutbuff[0]. So it looks like it cannot access coutbuff.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm using VC++ 6.0.

Are you sure that m_pWnd is a CMonitorDlg?

Here is my declaration of m_pWnd for GroupStart class:

<br />
private:<br />
	CDialog* m_pWnd;<br />

When I change it for:

<br />
private:<br />
       CMonitorDlg* m_pWnd;<br />

it's still the same error in the same place. So it doesn't change anything.

m_pWnd is not 'initialized' anywhere. How should I initialize it?
