Re: Why no OnSetFont handler in CEdit?

10-Dec-02 18:24

Hi,
I want to catch WM_SETFONT messages in a CEdit control.

Unfortunately the class wizard doesn't offer me this message. Is there any reason? If not, how does my handler look like? hm there is no default handler CEdit::OnSetFont(). please help.

If you right-click your class and select "Add window message handler" and from there change the type of filtering in the bottom right to "Window", I think you will have access to the option you need.
I can't check as class wizard is bust on my PC at the moment.

How do I specify CView's size?

How can I specify the size of a CView when it is created?

<br />
void COragomy_IIView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)<br />
{<br />
	COragomy_IIDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();<br />
	ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);<br />
<br />
	CRect rect = new CRect( 0, 0, 320, 200 );<br />
	pDoc->m_clientRect = rect;<br />

That doesn't seem to work. Confused | :confused:

string replace function?

hi everyone,

is there a function in vc++ library that does cstring string replace?

i'm looking for a function that does something similar to the description below.. i don't want to write a function, if there is one existed already..

e.g.
replace(inputstring, str1, str2) <- this function search inputstring for the occurance of str1 and replace every occurance of str1 with str2.

thx in advance.

I think CString.Replace is what you're looking for. Give it a lookup in MSDN. You would use it like

CString tmp;
tmp = "aksjdksajdlksajdsakljdsaljd";
tmp.Replace("ask","ksa");

for that the tmp is set to a load of garbage, but the replace will change every occurence of "ask" to "ksa" in the string.

program crashes after execution??? why?

Joisme10-Dec-02 14:17

10-Dec-02 14:17

Below are three files, two .cpp files and one .h file. The program runs no problem and does exactly what it is supposed to do but right after it executes it crashes and I cannot figure out why. I have tried to figure this out with someone in my class and he cannot figure it out either. Anyone out there who can figure it out for me????? It crashes on a Win XP machine, btw, if that makes any difference. Thanks. Jo

don't these loops overrun the end of the array? they go from 0 to 8, but there is no array[8][8] .

your declaration gives you 8x8 values, not 9x9. your loops are spanning 9x9 values.

I see. Do you think the program would still run properly and give the correct values in the table/array if the loop was incorrect? Do you think that would cause the crash at the end? I will try mess with that coding.

there is no telling what you will get if you start writing off the end of an array. you could be writing into anything...

Remember that arrays in C/C++/C#/Java are indexed from 0 to size-1. So by reading the element at position 8, you're actually reading the 9th element. And your array only has room for 8.

you guys are awesome......that totally fixed it.

I knew that arrays started at 0 but i was sloppy in the coding and then didn't even think, since it worked properly, that the crash at the end was because of the loop...never entered my mind...

thanks a bunch..that fixed it....

Also don't use magic numbers, e.g. int array[8][8]
try #define MY_ARRAY_SIZE 8 (or const int MY_ARRAY_SIZE = 8)
array[MY_ARRAY_SIZE][MY_ARRAY_SIZE]

then, for(i = 0; i < MY_ARRAY_SIZE; i++)

I'm writing an MFC app that uses a word 200 object via automation. Of course this requires me to give the type library of word9 as well as word9 hearder files. Will this app work if I distribute it and the customers have a word version that is greater than 2000 such as Word XP or one lower such as Word 97? I don't have these office versions so anyone with MFC automation experience with Office , an answer would be greatly apprciated by me.

Thanks in advance,

Martin.

It depends what interfaces you use. We've had no trouble using apps built against Office97 and 2000 on systems with 97, 2000, and XP installed. But we stick to the functionality available in Office97.

(and of course, there's no guarantee that MS won't break compatibility at some point in the future... Wink | ;)
