Hi
Can anyone tell me how i can set the position of the cursor in an Edit Control

i want to place a space after the user enters a full stop, im using the below, but this just
puts the cursor back to the start, rather than the end

CString csText, csText2;
m_c_sms.GetWindowText( csText );
csText2 = csText.Right(1);
if (csText2 ==".")
{
csText = csText+" ";
m_c_sms.SetWindowTextA(csText);

}

don't use SetWindowTextA() but SetWindowText().

BTW, AFAIK, you can use CEdit::SetSel(end, end);

I believe these are in the wrong order.

Why not something simple like:

CDatabase db;
db.ExecuteSQL("DELETE FROM table);

I guess it is to do with Update.
See MSDN help. It say's

Unlike AddNew and Edit, a call to Delete is not followed by a call to Update.

SetTimer, nIDEvent and timer identification

Dimitris Vikeloudas19-Jul-06 1:41

19-Jul-06 1:41

I want to use timers do some actions.

I read about
UINT SetTimer(HWND hWnd, UINT nIDEvent, UINT uElapse, TIMERPROC lpTimerFunc );

versus the

CWnd::SetTimer, UINT nIDEvent, UINT uElapse, TIMERPROC lpTimerFunc );

There is a nice document here explaining some facts. However, I still have some questions about who is handling the timers.

I want to create and handle the timers inside a CScrollView (by mapping and overwriting the inherited CWnd::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent) and not via a TIMERPROC.

However, I am not sure which timer creation function to use and what value will be good for the nIDEvent on them.

i. How do I guarantee that the CScrollView which created the timer is the one that receives the WM_TIMER message (and subsequently process it). Is it possible that the
WM_TIMER expiration message ends up on another queue (I found that this is possible for mouse messages) or only the creating window can get it?

ii. Is the nIDEvent identifier a system unique one or a view unique one? How do I get a sufficiently unique nIDEvent value to make sure that I am processing the right timer?

iii. Is it possible that my CScrollView will receive time outs (i.e. WM_TIMER messages) by other views or even other threads or applications and under which conditions? If yes what should I do with those timers?

iv. Any idea why SetTimer may fail? Is this due to a system limit on running timers or due to a non unique nIDEvent? How can I know?

i. If you do "this->SetTimer(100, 2000, NULL)" inside your CScrollView class it will use the handle for your view.

ii. It is unique to your view. How many timers are you planning on using? If just one declare a constant.

iii. Yes if some sends the WM_TIMER message to that view. Really shouldn't happen though.

iv. How do you know it's failing?

Thanks a lot. It clarifies a lot of things.

Thus, I can be sure that my view and only this will handle the timers. My plans are to use one timer primarely but there are some rare cases that I may have two running similtaneously. However, if their ids are view unique ones I can use constants to guarantee uniquness and I am assuming that noone sends to my view a WM_TIMER message (according to what you said it sounds a reasonable assumption. Note that the thread will have more than one CScroll views of the same or different type).

According to my reading SetTimer indicates failure if it returns zero. Thus, I know that it is failed to create a timer. But it seems to me that this is due to system resources limits thus, nothing that I can do about it.

Well, was quite helpfull clarifying these points, hope now that they will work like these.

Dimitris...

Hello,
do you have:

ON_WM_TIMER()
in your Messagemap included??
than you have to call the function like this:

<br />
// but befor call OnTimer you have first set the timer in some other funktion:<br />
int SomeOtherFunc()<br />
{<br />
nIDEvent = SetTimer(iTimerIdentifier, iIntervalMiliSecond,0); //iTimerIdentifier is stored in nIDEvent for use in OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent), iIntervalMiliSecond is the time to wait between intervals<br />
// example<br />
nIDEvent = SetTimer(2, 1000,0);<br />
}<br />
afx_msg void MyAppDlg::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)<br />
{<br />
// do something with this nIDEvent<br />
switch(nIDEvent)<br />
{<br />
case 1:<br />
{<br />
...<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
case 2:<br />
{<br />
// in my example the OnTimer jump here, and i can do something ...<br />
<br />
...<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
//etc.<br />
default:<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
....<br />

give peace of code to see what you coding to set and start timer!

hi all,

when i switch from one CFormView to Another CFormView, I am observing that my menu items for the second form are Disabled. I cant Understand why this is Happen when i switch from one view to another.

//---------Code -----------------------------------//

void CMainFrame::SwitchView()
{
CView *pOldView;
CView *pNewView;

pOldView = GetActiveView();

if (m_pCFirstView == NULL)
m_pCFirstView = pOldView;

if (m_pCSecondView == NULL)
{
CRuntimeClass *pCR = RUNTIME_CLASS(CSecondView);
m_pCSecondView = static_cast<cview*>(pCR->CreateObject());
m_pCSecondView->Create(NULL,NULL,AFX_WS_DEFAULT_VIEW,rectDefault,this,AFX_IDW_PANE_FIRST+1,NULL);
}
if (m_bFirstViewActive)
pNewView = m_pCSecondView;
else
pNewView = m_pCFirstView;
int nChildId = pNewView->GetDlgCtrlID();
pNewView->SetDlgCtrlID(AFX_IDW_PANE_FIRST);
pOldView->SetDlgCtrlID(nChildId);

CDocument *pDoc = pOldView->GetDocument();
pDoc->AddView(pNewView);
pDoc->RemoveView(pOldView);
SetActiveView(pNewView);
RecalcLayout();
pNewView->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
pOldView->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
m_bFirstViewActive = !m_bFirstViewActive;
}
//-----------------------------//------------------------------------//

Every thing is Ok but the Menu Items are Enabled when i transform from View to Another View. Please Provide me good Solution.

is there any Custom Command Routing for this.

please help me out.

Do you have UI updating defined only in one view, then?

Normally the view will get a crack at updating menu item states. If there's no handler, and no update handler, a menu item will get disabled.

You can handle commands (and hence UI updating) in any of:

Frame - if you've derived your own frame window
Document - even though it isn't a window!
View - the active one

There is a series of articles in MSJ (now MSDN magazine) which you should still be able to find at the MSDN website, that explain how the routing works in some depth. Essentially, it's up to you as the app designer to determine where the appropriate/correct place for handlers is. For example, handling File/Print would generally be in the document class (since it applies irrespective of the view), whereas edit menu items tend to be managed by the view. If you have multiple views (either SDI switching or MDI) then it is perfectly possible that you have handlers in each view. However, only one of these handlers/UI updates will be called, and it will be the one in the object associated with the active view.

I also need to convert a double into a CString to display it in an edit box.

How can i do that ?

Thanx in advance,

You can use

For Double to CString
CString Format function

CString to Double
double atof(const char *string );

If you want error handling use strtod and check return value, errno and end-pointer. Frown | :(

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