Need help with Callback in DLL

Hi everyone

i'm working on a DLL with 2 Callback Functions but i really have no clue why it isn't working:

//MainClass.h (It's the DLL)

typedef void (__stdcall *LP_CREATEHANDLER_FUNC)(HANDLE, CString);
typedef void (__stdcall *LP_TERMINATEHANDLER_FUNC)(HANDLE);

class CMainClass
{
public:
__declspec(dllexport) void SetCreateHandler(LP_CREATEHANDLER_FUNC p_Handler);
__declspec(dllexport) void SetTerminateHandler(LP_TERMINATEHANDLER_FUNC p_Handler);
};

//ClientDlg.cpp TheMainApp

BOOL CClientDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();
...
m_cls.SetCreateHandler(CreateHandler);
m_cls.SetTerminateHandler(TerminateHandler);
}

void __stdcall CClientDlg::CreateHandler(HANDLE hPID, CString strFilename)
{
}

void __stdcall CClientDlg::TerminateHandler(HANDLE hPID)
{
}

I get the following error:
error C2664: 'CMainClass::SetCreateHandler' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'void (HANDLE,CString)' to 'LP_CREATEHANDLER_FUNC'
error C2664: 'CMainClass::SetTerminateHandler' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'void (HANDLE)' to 'LP_TERMINATEHANDLER_FUNC'

what am i doing wrong ?

you can't reference a non-static class member function via a function pointer.

unless you use something like FastDelegate: http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/FastDelegate.asp[^] Boost also has libraries which can do this, but FastDelegate is simpler and works incredibly well.

HellO!!

I don't really know what happened or i might have edited accidentally the afxwin.h or another file. When I compile my Project even when I start a new MDI MFC skeleton application... i get this message:

c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\atlmfc\include\afxwin.h(3970) : error C2501: 'CScrollView::CRectTracker' : missing storage-class or type specifiers

Is there anyway i can solve this before i can do reinstallation of VS .NET?

How to draw static controls and check box buttons transparently ?

rrrado2-Jan-05 21:50

I'd like to have my tabbed dialog application using XP themes like "My Computer-> properties" in the win XP - the dialog inside the TAB control should use gradient background.
My problem is that static controls and check box buttons are not drawn properly -> background of the text is erased by default dialog background color (text background has OPAQUE mode). I've tried to handle the WM_CTLCOLOR message in the dialog, but this solved only the problem with text static controls, not with the group rectangle static box (it's text was drawn over the rectangle line when I've set text background mode to TRANSPARENT).
I hope there is some easier way than to code my own owner drawn controls, when windows GUI is using this.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks !

Looks strange because when an XP theme is active, all text labels are drawn transparently; in fact, no WM_CTLCOLOR handling is necessary. Does your app have a manifest resource in it that enables theming (the XP look) when a theme is active?

The gradient that you see in "My Computer-> properties" is NOT a feature of a themed Tab control, it's how the theme handles property sheets - it applies a gradient background to each of the dialog in the sheet. If you create your own tabbed dialog, you can do it by handling WM_ERASEBKGND in each of your dialogs.

Consider the following code excerpt; perhaps you will get some ideas on your group boxes (BTW, they belong to window class BUTTON, not STATIC):

BOOL myGroupBox::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC) 
{
    CRect rcCtrl;
    GetClientRect(rcCtrl);

    if (GetUXThemeState().IsThemeActive())
        pDC->FillSolidRect(rcCtrl, ColorAdjustLuma(afxData.clrBtnFace, 750, TRUE));
    else
        pDC->FillSolidRect(rcCtrl, afxData.clrBtnFace);

    PrintClient(pDC, PRF_CLIENT);

    return 1;
}

void myGroupBox::OnPaint() 
{
    // validates the invalid area to prevent the infinite paint loop
    PAINTSTRUCT ps = {0}; 
    ::BeginPaint(m_hWnd, &ps);
    ::EndPaint(m_hWnd, &ps);
}

Thank you very much for your response. I'll try your code. I don't use property sheets besause of it's limitations. I have tab control which has child dialogs. I'm handling the child dialog's onEraseBackgroud where I do nothing, so oridinal tab control's background remains.
I have manifest file in my resources, so all buttons, group boxes, etc. looks like in Win XP theme.
So I don't know why my static controls are not drawn transparently by default Confused | :confused:

I'm also calling InitCommonControls(); in the app's InitInstance() as recommended ...

Could you make a small screenshot of the text label portion of a group box and give a link? this can make the native Windows drawing procedure more clear.

Oh... I think all you have to do is give your group boxes sensible ID's (other than -1 /IDC_STATIC/), check them in the WM_CTLCOLOR handler, call pdc->SetBkColor() for these ID's and return a brush of a proper color. Do not set the background mode to TRANSPARENT.

Does anyone of you know how to develop a tool like tcpview(by sysinternals.com)? My requirement is to not just listing (as in TCPview) but to monitor and end a process before it actually starts. For example, i want to filter all applications passing through port 80 except Internet Explorer. so if some clicks any pdf file on Internet, he will not be allowed to do so? how do i proceed? i m really clueless and need some ideas.

Thanking u,

The low-order word contains the button's control identifier. (USE LOWORD macro here)
The high-order word specifies the notification message.
(USE HIWORD macro here)

lParam
Handle to the button
