Re: How to "attach" a CScrollBar to a editbox?

I found an easier way. MSDN help says that, by default, the CSpin thingy's range is set to Min:100 Max Blush | :O

, and by clicking the down arrow sends the current value nearer the minimum value, which is why it goes up, its heading for 100. All I did to get it to work properly was call :

CDialog::DoDataExchange(etc.)
{
  ...                   min , max
  myCSpinThingy.SetRange(0  , 10);
}

and it worked no problem. Just thought I`d let you know, since I wouldn`t have got there in the end if it weren't for you,

Cheers Ravi,
Alan.

You can go to www.microsoft.com and search for Nt Option Pack.. here is the link but it maybe too long.

IWebBrowser2 interface in IE automation

Hi all,

im having real trouble trying to use internet explorer automation. I simply want to use the automation to navigate to a page and then print it but i cant even get the object into my project.

What i have tried to do is by using classwizard to add the IWebBrowser2 interface from the shdocvw.dll. However, simply doing this means that my project no longer compiles and gives me the following error:

shdocvw.h(5) : error C2011: 'IWebBrowser2' : 'struct' type redefinition

which then spawns off loads of other errors.

Can someone please tell me what im doing wrong. This is a very simple task that loads of programmers must have done.

Please reply, all replies will be rated favourably as msdn is so full of shite its hard finding the right answers.

Andy.

Windows Sockets Question

Aaron Schaefer4-Dec-01 4:02

Aaron Schaefer

4-Dec-01 4:02

Hi All,

I'm having some trouble debugging the following function under Windows 2000 w/ Visual Studio 6.0. Where the function calls the socket API function, the debugger is reporting the following:

HEAP[Sockets.exe]: Heap block at 00140390 modified at 0014070E past requested size of 376
HEAP[Sockets.exe]: Invalid Address specified to RtlReAllocateHeap( 130000, 140398 )

Does anyone see something that I am missing? This function appears to work correctly when executed outside of the debugger (the socket gets bound and can accept connections from other machines), but . . .

Here is the code I am testing:

// Creates a socket in the local machine
SOCKET CreateLocalSocket(int port)
{
SOCKET s = INVALID_SOCKET;
char localHost[256];
hostent* pHostEntry = NULL;
sockaddr_in sa;

// Get the name of this machine
printf("\ngetting local host name . . .");
if(0 != gethostname(localHost, 256))
{
printf("failed.");
return s;
}
else
printf("succeeded.");
printf("\nlocal host name = <%s>", localHost);

// Deprecated function call
printf("\ngetting local host address info . . .");
pHostEntry = gethostbyname(localHost);
if(pHostEntry == NULL)
{
printf("failed.");
return s;
}
else
printf("succeeded.");

// Create a socket
printf("\ncreating socket . . .");
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if(s == INVALID_SOCKET)
{
printf("failed.");
return s;
}
else
printf("succeeded.");

// Set up the socket address struct
memset(&sa, 0, sizeof(sa));
sa.sin_family = pHostEntry->h_addrtype;
sa.sin_port = htons(port);

printf("\nbinding socket . . .");
if(0 != bind(s, (sockaddr*)&sa, sizeof(sa)))
{
printf("failed.");
return s;
}
else
printf("succeeded.");

return s;
}

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi to all,I facing some problems when i executed a source code in Visual C++ under MFC environment.Hope someone can help me to solve it.

Well actaully this file is running fine if i compile it under Visual C++ Win32 console application.

But once i put it into Visual C++ MFC environment,it didn't show any error,but it just not fuctioning.

char c;
ofstream modem("COM1:");
printf("Resetting MODEM\n to Dial");
modem << "ATZ\n";
modem.flush();
c = getchar(); // wait for modem to finish
modem <<"ATDT0123246448\n";
modem.flush();
printf(" to Hang-UP\n");
c = getchar(); // wait for modem to finish
modem <<"ATH0\n";
modem.flush();

Hope guru's can help me on this.
Thank you.

Can you have ranges in a switch statement?

Chambers4-Dec-01 1:30

Chambers

4-Dec-01 1:30

Hi guys, I actually have three unrelated questions that I would like answered, they are :

1.) Can you have ranges in a switch statment, i.e.

switch (i)
{
case 0..20 : do something;
case 20..120 : do something;
case 170..450 : do something;
}

Obviously the dotted line doesn`t work, but what do I have to do to get such a switch statement to work?

2.) Is there any way of getting the maximized state of a child window, without using one of the OnDoSomething() functions, i.e. is there a function in MFC which will tell me, true or false, the current child window is maximized?

3.) How can I create one control that holds separate integers in the format :

1 | 2 | 3
3 | 2 | 1
2 | 1 | 3

oh I also would like to know how to make it change size, say to hold five integers accross, and maybe three down.

Thanks for reading this far guys, if you know the answer to any of the three questions, or merely have an idea, please let me know, I would be very grateful.

Thanking you all,
Alan.;)

1) Nope, you can't do ranges, unfortunately. You need to use an "if" statement.
2) IsZoomed, as answered by Michael.
3) I don't know. You want to create a custom data entry control? Why not use several edit controls placed next to each other?

Regards,
Alvaro

Re: Can you have ranges in a switch statement?

Jon Sagara4-Dec-01 5:18

Jon Sagara

1.)

switch (i)
{
case 0:
case 1:
case 2:
...
case 20:
   // do something
   break;
case 21:
case 22:
... 
case 450:
   // do something
   break;
}

Though you should just use an if statement.

if (/* i is in range 1 */)
   // do something
else if (/* i is in range 2 */)
   // do something else
else
   // do something else else

3.) Try Chris Maunder's Grid Control.

Thanks for the responses guys, especially for the Grid control link (Jon) cos its pretty much what I need (i need a simplified version, but I`ll just cut it down to that). I didn`t think you could have the ranges in a switch statement (since there are no books that describe how to) so thanks to both Alvaro and Jon for reaffirming my doubts. Oh and thanks to Chris Mauder for actually producing the Grid Control and making it freely available.

Cheers guys,
Alan.

Yes, if you use Pascal instead of C/C++ . (Silly answer).
You can also use GetWindowPlacement() for the general case, but IsZoomed() as pointed out earlier, is definitely easier.
In general, you need to override the control's WM_PAINT handler to "do the right thing", i.e. display the numbers in an appropriate format. You can use Chris' grid control, but if you want your class to be lightweight, you'll probably want to just override OnPaint().

In response to your answers :

1. Yep, thats why I asked if you could do it in C++.

2. Its definately the easiest function, and the most appropriate for what I want.

3. I am seriously thinking of doing your OnPaint overriding advice, cos I've had a look at Chris's non-MFC code, and I must be honest, I`m struggling to understand it.

Thanks for your response though,
Alan.

HI, All!!!

MyApp.exe arg1 arg2 arg3

To get those arguments in a console application we do it like this:

void main (int x, char ** y)
{
    ... y[1] ... // arg1
    ... y[2] ... // arg2
    ... y[3] ... // arg3
}

How do we do it in MFC basedialog application ??? Blush | :O

Hi,

How do I pass on a variable argument list to another function?

E.g. In the example below I want to pass the variable argument list passed through to PrintOutput() onto fprintf.

PrintOutput(char * format, ...)
{
//I want to pass variable list through to fprintf????
fprintf(stderr, format, ...); //This does not work as it is???????
}

Thanks in advance
