It seems the delegate expects an argument of type String^ and your function is using CString as argument.

Omit Forward Declaration ?

Hi, I am learning C++ right now and I am analysing some VS2008 example of MFC. But I think it's not important in this case.

"modeldlg.h"
class CMainDlg
{
  CAdderDialog* m_pModeless;
}

What I want to ask is, if it is possible to omit forward declaration of CAdderDialog, because it is not present in "modeldlg.h" and somehow it compiles OK. When I try to make the same code on my own, it doesn't compile.

You will definitely need a forward declaration of the CAdderDialog class since you're creating a pointer of that type.
If you where creating an object of this type you would need to include the entire class definition.

Yes, I think so too. But as I have written it is compiling. Do You have any explanantion why ? Maybe it is some project property ?

Complete file modeldlg.h

// CMainDlg dialog

class CMainDlg : public CDialog
{
// Construction
public:
	CMainDlg(CWnd* pParent = NULL); // standard constructor

	void BoxDone();

// Dialog Data
	//{{AFX_DATA(CMainDlg)
	enum { IDD = IDD_MAIN_DIALOG };
		// NOTE: the ClassWizard will add data members here
	//}}AFX_DATA

	// ClassWizard generated virtual function overrides
	//{{AFX_VIRTUAL(CMainDlg)
	protected:
	virtual void DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX);    // DDX/DDV support
	//}}AFX_VIRTUAL

// Implementation

Check well the header(s), I suppose Visual Studio put in place the forward declaration for you (yes, VS does such things...).

Thanks for the clue. The problem was with include order. Now I know that in i.e. "MyClass.cpp" the "MyClass.h" include should be the last include.

Writing directly on a harddisk without using File

Hi all,

How can we write at a given sector in my hard disk?

I have tried it using this code but nothing happens

HANDLE			hFile ;
	DWORD dwResult;


	hFile  = CreateFile (L"\\\\.\\PhysicalDrive3",
					   GENERIC_WRITE,
					   0,                      // do not share
                       NULL,                   // default security
                       CREATE_ALWAYS,          // overwrite existing
                       FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,  // normal file
                       NULL);  
	WriteFile (hFile, TEST_STR, strlen(TEST_STR), &dwResult, NULL);

Can anybody help me in this?

Thanks in advance

I wrote some small tool to read and write HDD sectors 6 years ago under WinXP. If I recall correctly, the buffer has to fit the size of a sector (or n folds, aka: N * 512 bytes). Otherwise it rejects and nothing will happen.

DoModal is just returning -1 which means that DoModal is unable to create the dialog.

Use GetLastError[^] to check the error code, it may give you some hints, hopefully.

first of all why you going for some file transfer using UDP, if you, then you need to implement something that counts on packets recieved, that would be something like tcp implementation, so why not just go for tcp as transport protocol moreover many ISP aren't good with UDP data transfer, I mean their bandwidth controller goes on dropping lot of UDP packets....
it'll be good if you elaborate your problem...tell you one interesting thing FTP is indeed based on UDP with same as I said above.

[Resolved] CButtonST question, Remove the residue of old icon while setting a new icon with SetIcon [modified]

Maxwell Chen29-Dec-09 18:51

29-Dec-09 18:51

I am maintaining the source code which uses CButtonST buttons as icon controls to display transparent and overlay icons (for the small arrow at the corner of the main icon) on the GUI. User can change the icon.

When user is changing the icon, what I do in the code is to invoke CButtonST::SetIcon with another HICON handle. But there is the residue of the old icon which is unwanted. The new icon overlaps on top of the old one.

How to remove the old residue icon? Please advise. Thanks.

According to the comment by the author of CButtonST, calling SetIcon(0, 0) can remove any old icons from it.
[ quote ] // Pass NULL to remove any icon from the button. [ / quote ]
But in fact this call makes the application crash!

[Update]
I found someone had added two lines in CButtonST::FreeResources to do DeleteDC() and DeleteObject(). This issue was caused by these two calls. The problem is fixed after removing them. Big Grin | :-D

Can you debug and see why SetIcon(0, 0) fails?

There are 3 versions of SetIcon, one is SetIcon(int, int) and the second is SetIcon(HICON, HICON).

I think the compiler links it to SetIcon(int, int) when I wrote SetIcon(NULL, NULL). So I casted it to force it invoke the correct version by SetIcon((HICON)NULL /* second arg has default val */). And it does not crash now.

But there is still old residue icon. I just downloaded the demo source of CButtonST v3.9 from CodeProject, and modified the code to make it change icon dynamically. I do not see it have this problem. And I compared the source code of CButtonST between the demo source and my code. They look the same regarding the icon drawing portion. This is so weird ...

	AddDocTemplate(pGroupViewTemplate);

pGraphViewTemplate = new CSingleDocTemplate(

		RUNTIME_CLASS(CCentumVPDoc),
		RUNTIME_CLASS(CFrameWnd), 		 
		RUNTIME_CLASS(CGraphView));
	AddDocTemplate(pGraphViewTemplate);

I wil hide the mainframe window by
pMainFrame->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE/*m_nCmdShow*/);

But now i want toolbars for every view.I dont know where i put the code for getting toolbar.If it is MDI wnidow,then i will put that code in chilframe class.
