Why I can't use the FlashWindowEx() with MFC based dialog...
it gives me that FlashWindowEx is not declared, any way to use it?
thanks in advance...

FlashWindowEx is declared in WinUser.h. If you open WinUser.h and do a text search for FlashWindowEx you will see that FlashWindowEx is wrapped in a pre-processor conditional statement "#if(WINVER >= 0x0500)". So to use FlashWindowEx you have to #define WINVER 0x0500 at the top of your stdafx.h file.

the problem is I don't have FlashWindowEx in the WinUser.h
here is what I have
FlashWindow(<br />
HWND hWnd,<br />
#if(WINVER >= 0x0500)<br />
DWORD dwFlags);<br />
#else<br />
BOOL bInvert);<br />
#endif<br />
<br />
#if(WINVER >= 0x0500)<br />
#define FLASHW_STOP 0<br />
#define FLASHW_CAPTION 0x00000001<br />
#define FLASHW_TRAY 0x00000002<br />
#define FLASHW_ALL (FLASHW_CAPTION | FLASHW_TRAY)<br />
#define FLASHW_TIMER 0x00000004<br />
#define FLASHW_TIMERNOFG 0x0000000C<br />
#endif /* WINVER >= 0x0500 */
any help with it? thanks....

You've probobly still got a REALLY old version of the platform SDK, you've got two options, either download[^] the latest version or access the FlashWindowEx function on the fly using GetProcAddress[^].
If you choose the later option, you'll need something like:
typedef struct {
UINT cbSize;
HWND hwnd;
DWORD dwFlags;
UINT uCount;
DWORD dwTimeout;
} FLASHEXINFO, *PFLASHEXINFO;
#define FLASHW_STOP 0
#define FLASHW_CAPTION 0x00000001
#define FLASHW_TRAY 0x00000002
#define FLASHW_ALL (FLASHW_CAPTION | FLASHW_TRAY)
#define FLASHW_TIMER 0x00000004
#define FLASHW_TIMERNOFG 0x0000000C
typedef BOOL (WINAPI *PSFLEX)(PFLASHEXINFO);
static PSFLEX pFlashWindowEx = NULL;
static BOOL initFlash = FALSE;
BOOL uiFlashWindowEx( HWND hWnd, UINT uCount , DWORD dwFlags )
{
if ( ! initFlash )
{
HMODULE hDLL = NULL;
hDLL = LoadLibrary( TEXT( "user32.dll" ) );
if( hDLL )
{
pFlashWindowEx = ( PSFLEX ) GetProcAddress( hDLL, "FlashWindowEx" );
initFlash = TRUE;
}
}
if ( pFlashWindowEx == NULL )
return FALSE;
FLASHEXINFO fwi;
ZeroMemory( & fwi, sizeof( FLASHEXINFO ) );
fwi.cbSize = sizeof( FLASHEXINFO );
fwi.dwFlags = dwFlags;
fwi.hwnd = hWnd;
fwi.uCount = uCount;
fwi.dwTimeout = 0L;
return pFlashWindowEx ( & fwi );
}
Once done, just use uiFlashWindowEx( hWnd, 3, FLASHW_TRAY ); or whatever

Hi,
I am receiving an error message CXX0030 when trying to a readfile off a com 1 port.
My code is
hCom = CreateFile( pcCommPort,

NULL, // no security attributes

printf ("CreateFile failed with error %d.\n", GetLastError());
return ;
}

read_bytes=0;
char *reply;
DWORD dwBytesTransferred;
DWORD dwCommModemStatus;
// Specify a set of events to be monitored for the port.

//if (dwCommModemStatus & EV_RXCHAR)
//{
// Loop for waiting for the data.
do
{
// Read the data from the serial port.
res = ReadFile(hCom, reply, 81, &dwBytesTransferred, 0);//ReadFile (hCom, &Byte, 1, &dwBytesTransferred, 0);
// Display the data read.
if (dwBytesTransferred > 0)

dcb.XoffChar = 0;
dcb.ErrorChar = 0;
dcb.EofChar = 0;
dcb.EvtChar = 0;
dcb.wReserved1 = 0;
}
Is there something I am missing for reading off the com port?
Thanks

Several problem areas here...
char *reply;
DWORD dwBytesTransferred;
DWORD dwCommModemStatus;
SetCommMask (hCom, EV_RXCHAR | EV_CTS | EV_DSR | EV_RLSD | EV_RING);
while (hCom != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
SetCommMask (hCom, EV_RXCHAR | EV_CTS | EV_DSR | EV_RING);
do
{
res = ReadFile(hCom, reply, 81, &dwBytesTransferred, 0);
if (dwBytesTransferred > 0)
printf (reply);
} while (dwBytesTransferred == 1);
}
First, char* reply is only a pointer to a single character but you're trying to read 81 characters - you need a larger buffer. This is your real problem area.
Second, while not your problem, dwBytesTransferred is not initialized - you should always initialize your variables.
Third, while (dwBytesTransferred == 1) should be changed - if successful in this case, it will be 81. Perhaps you should say:
while (dwBytesTransferred > 0);
Hope that helps.

A minor point here, char* reply does not point to a single character. It points to some unknown memory location, which the compiler thinks contains a character buffer.

Every thing is relative...

Thanks,
It actually worked when I changed it from a char pointer to a char array. But why would it work in this case if the pointer and the array could mean the same thing?

Using an array actually has memory allocated for the buffer, but the pointer is just a pointer - you have to allocate the memory yourself (and delete it when you are through.

Of course you are right. But then at my age I guess I'm allowed one brain fade after 11 consecutive days off!

The debugger’s expression evaluator could not obtain a value for the expression as written. One likely cause is that the expression refers to memory that is outside the program’s address space (dereferencing a null pointer is one example). Windows NT and Windows 95 do not allow access to memory that is outside of the program’s address space.
You may want to rewrite your expression using parentheses to control the order of evaluation

Hi All,
What I Need?
------------
I want to change the ToolButton's image with respect to different conditions.
What I did?
-----------
I creatd mfc application with ToolBar. And i added UI Command handler to the target ToolBar Button. In that handler i called CToolBar::SetButtonInfo() to change the button image into new one which i drawn.
What Stoped me?
--------------
After this step i saw my target ToolButton image is blinking. And also when pass the mouse pointer over ToolBar buttons, All buttons stops ToolTip popup.
What could be the possible reason to this??
Thanks n regards,
Rajan

LOL What are you trying to do buddy. Why do you do this in the UI command handler. Everytime the UI is updated the Image will be reset. Hence I think the blinking.
Note: UI handlers must always try to use CCmdUI object to deal with UI updation. AFAIK you never know when it will be called. So it's safe to use the CCmdUI object. And don't try to do anything else.
You can use SetButtonInfo in the OnCreate function for the frame.

Hi Buddy,
I wanna change image of ToolButton based on some condition. More clearly, My App has TreeView item. When user selects Target Item from the TreeView Items then i, wanna change image of my ToolButton. I have drawn 2 images-One is set as default and another one is set based on TreeView Item contents.
As you told, I already added SetButtonInfo() in Frame's OnCreate().However, if user selects something from TreeView which changes ToolButton's colour and he deselects the item then i, need to show the item as default image. Hence, I did SetButtonInfo() again in OnUpdateButtonxxxx().
For Instance:
void CMainFrame::OnUpdateButtonxxxx()
{
// Check wheather TreeView Item is Selected
theApp.ToggleButton();
}
void CMyApp::ToggleButton()
{
if(UserSelctedTreeViewItem)
SetButtonInfo(TOOLBUTTON_IND, XXXX, PUSHBUTTON, GREEN);
else
SetButtonInfo(TOOLBUTTON_IND, XXXX, PUSHBUTTON, GRAY);
}
NOTE: ToolTip is blocked due to this code. That's my major problem.
Some of My Doubts are:
1.If SetButtonInfo() is called with same ID then does it stop ToolTip? if yes how?
2.I accept that due to calling SetButtonInfo() again and again in the OnUpdateButton() Handler i'm getting blinking image. But it is not happening when i change the resource ID and also i'm getting ToolTip.
3.To achieve dynamic image toggling where should we call SetButtonInfo()?
Thanks in Advance,
Rajan

There are notification messages for this purpose.
Suppose you wanna handle selection change event then do this. (Write this in the parent window)
ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT(TVN_SELCHANGED, OnNotifySelChange)
in .h file
afx_msg void OnNotifySelChange(NMHDR* pNm, LRESULT *pRes);
in .cpp file
void CYouparentClass::OnNotifySelChange(NMHDR* pNm , LRESULT *pRes)
{
LPNMTREEVIEW pNMTreeView = reinterpret_cast<LPNMTREEVIEW>(pNMHDR);
}

I want to create a time delay about 1/20 milisecond.
|
|
|
|

You can use QueryPerformanceCounter().
|

hai do u know assmbly language.
if u know 8086 assm lan Easily you can create a time delay

You probably can't reliably without going to extrodinary means. This is because Windows is not a Real time operating system, and at any stage your process could be preempted. However, the closest you can get is by calling
::Sleep(20)
In reality this will sleep more than twenty milliseconds quite often, because it relinquishes your timeslice in the process scheduler, but it is the best you can do without doing something really hard.
Despite what my mis-spelling co-poster tells you, going to assembly language will not offer you any benefit over the above, because it is no less subject to pre-emption than anything else. He/she might argue that you do not relinquish your timeslice as above, however the same can be accomplished in C++ too.
For example:
class Timer
{
public:
Timer();
void wait(DWORD ms);
private:
static int cyclesPerMs; // Number of loop iterations per millisecond
};
int Timer::cyclesPerMs = -1;
Timer::Timer()
{
const CALIBRATION_TICKS = 100000;
if(cyclesPerMs == -1)
{
// Calibrate timer
clock_t start = clock();
for(int i=0; i

What do you need the delay for?
Don't try it, just do it!

Hi,
My query is MFC related to Dialog box.
I want to change the Text property label of parent dialog box from its child dialog file.
How to change Text lable of parent dialog box from its child dialog file?
Thanks in advance

Use GetParent() from the Child Dialog.
GetParent()->SetWindowText("New title");
