create a popup window with no focus on

in Visual C++, if type a . (dot) after an object, VC pops up a prompt window which displys fields and functions of the object.

the prompt popup window has 2 features:

1. no focus (focus is still on VC main frame, not on the popup window).

2. if mouse clicks at anywhere (inside the popup window or out of it), the popup window is closed.

i want to develop a similar popup window, my Q is:

1. how to create the popup window which has no focus on.
2. what message is passed when mouse clicks (WM_KILLFOCUS whould not work because of no focus).

thx.

Create a Modeless dialog and unset the Focus once it has been created. Then, when your popup takes the focus,, just unfocus it (this will give focus back to the last control or win that had it).

2.Just intercept WM_LBUTTONDOWN and WM_RBUTTONDOWN from the main app which must be underlying, or intercept them from within your popup, and WM_NCMOUSE (not sure about this one, but it is WM_NCMsomething) also, for clicking "not in the window".
BTW, i do not think that your pop-up window should not grab the focus, but just react as it would do.

Can anybody point me at some sample code for accessing a calendar in Outlook. I need to access the calendar using the Win32 API not MFC as our programs are NOT written using MFC. I had a look around this site and MSDN but the only samples seem to be in either Visual Basic or MFC.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Steve.

Sounds like you need to learn about Extended MAPI. Not something that you can do in an evening. You do not need to use or know MFC, only how to use COM Interfaces.

Thanks for replying. The answer I was looking for involves the use of IDispatch interfaces. Once you've got one for the application you can lookup method ID's and then call those methods (passing parameters via an array of VARIANT's) I could have imported the outlook library (and made my life a lot simpler) but this ties you to a minimum version of Outlook.

In my program I use the CPreciseTimer class twice in the same loop. Will they both work normal or will PreciseTimer1 stop if PreciseTimer2 starts?

Server Busy windows dialog

Luis E. Cuadrado24-Jan-03 2:30

Hello Everybody:
Lately I'm getting a windows message box that it says:

"Server Busy
This action cannot be competed because the other program is busy. Choose 'Switch To' to activate the busy program and correct the probelm"

Then it has 3 buttons, one says Switch To, the other one says Retry and the last one is a disabled button that says Cancel.

This Server Busy message box doesn't show up constantly. It's happening when I call another application using another one. The code that I'm noticing the problem looks like this:

<br />
COleException *e = new COleException;<br />
CLSID clsid;<br />
	<br />
if (CLSIDFromProgID(OLESTR("OtherApp"), &clsid) != NOERROR)<br />
{<br />
	AfxMessageBox(IDS_ERR_LOOKUP_PROGID);<br />
	return;<br />
}<br />
<br />
// create the Ole Driver object if not already done<br />
if (m_otherApp == NULL)<br />
{<br />
	m_otherApp = new IOtherApp();<br />
	if (m_otherApp == NULL) return;<br />
}<br />
<br />
// if not dispatch ptr attached yet, need to create one<br />
if (m_otherApp->m_lpDispatch == NULL)<br />
{<br />
try<br />
{<br />
    BOOL sts = m_otherApp->CreateDispatch(clsid, e);<br />
    <br />
    if (!sts)<br />
    {<br />
       throw e;<br />
       //AfxMessageBox(IDP_UNABLE_TO_CREATE);<br />
       //EndDialog(IDABORT);<br />
       //return;<br />
    }<br />
}

Is there a way to make that "Server Busy" message box go away? Anything is more than welcome.

Best regards,

Luis E. Cuadrado

Hi
im trying to do a custom caption painter here , and have some problems with changing the height of the caption.

im intercepting the following messages:

WM_NCPAINT
even if i paint the caption here , the standard caption still shows when the window is animated
how should i make it render the caption when the window is minimizing / maximizing??

WM_NCACTIVATE
//occurs when the window is activated/deactivated so i guess it would be enough to just
draw the caption with the correct state when i get this mess , right??

WM_NCHITTEST
//dont really do much with this now

WM_NCCALCSIZE
i can change the size of the client area here , but how do i move the menu of the form?
it is still located directly under the caption , so if i would like to paint a larger caption
i would have to move the menu somehow, how should i do that??

and how could i move the min/max/close buttons?

Thanx , that was actually the first article i read about this kind of stuff.

i just cant figure out by that code , what decides where the menu will be located (????)

im actually doing this in c# , but i figure this would be a better forum since there are more c++ coders doing this kind of things than c# coders (i guess)

if i only resize the client area when i recive the WM_NCCALCSIZE
the caption actually get the size i want , and i can grab it and move it so i guess it works that far atleast.
but when i do this , i get no menu at all (i have a main menu on the form)

but if i call the default wndproc after i change the client size , the menu appears ,
the caption 'appears' to be the same size as i set it to be , but i can only grab the upper part of it and under that , the menu appears , kinda inside my caption.

so is there anyone who knows what decides the placement of the menu?

Search the net for a program called blat. It usually comes with the source code and is fairly easy to follow. I used it as a guide for our SMTP implementation. Straight Win32 API.

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any GOOD docs on the Windows Accessibility API (other than that of msdn's)...?

I would like to retrieve the text from any text-based application just by clicking the text or by hovering the text with the mouse pointer. Pretty much like www.atomica.com.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

ModifyStyle( SW_MAXIMIZEBOX, 0); for MFC apps, otherwise

SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE) &<br />
~WS_MAXIMIZEBOX);

hope this helps

yes i figure that out, but I won´t get it to work anyway. The button won´t go away. Should I place the code in OnInitalUpdate(...) or in OnCreate(...), and besides I wanted the user of my application not be able to use the restore size button. Smile | :)

I got it to work when i changed the order of the parameters:

//ModifyStyle(1, WS_MINIMIZEBOX); Unsure | :~

ModifyStyle(WS_MINIMIZEBOX,0); Big Grin | :-D

Thanks a lot Wink | ;)

!!

Is it correct that the application should go fullscreen when running the WS_MAXIMIZEBOX?

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
