I want to fill in an edit box, but not in my dialog, but in a different application. How can I fill in an edit box in an another application?
And how can I push a button in a different program?
Thanks in advance!

Alright I got the following code from on here to be able to notify when a registry key has been modified. The only problem is, I can't figure out how to implement this code into the DLL that I'm creating that will be used in an IE deskband. The problem I'm running into is that if I make it sychronous it will noticebly hang in IE while it waits for the Reg Key to change. Any ideas wouldn't be helpful.
#include <tchar.h>
#include <windows.h>
INT WINAPI
_tWinMain (
HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPTSTR lpCmdLine,
INT nCmdShow
)
{
LONG l = 0L;
HKEY hKey = {0};
l = RegOpenKeyEx (
HKEY_CURRENT_USER,
_T("Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet Settings"),
0,
KEY_NOTIFY,
&hKey );
if(l == ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
// The following call will wait until a change is made to the registry key.
l = RegNotifyChangeKeyValue (
hKey,
FALSE,
REG_NOTIFY_CHANGE_LAST_SET,
NULL,
FALSE );
MessageBox(NULL, _T("Registry key changed"), _T("Registry key changed"), 0);
RegCloseKey(hKey);
}
return 0;
}

try putting that bit of code in a seperate thread, using the CreateThread function. Call create thread from the entry point.
|
|
|
|
|
So you are saying I should call create thread from where I load the DLL file? And this will in turn always be activated, thus responding everytime the said regirsty key is changed. I'm alittle new at programming C++, sorry. Appreciate the help.
|
|
|
|
|
yes thats exactly wot i mean. but don't create it in DllMain. create it in the function in your dll that is called.
goto msdn.com and familiarise urself with creating thread, cos thats one of the things c++ does best, and is always useful.

Using DAO and MFC, I loaded an Excel file into CByteArray and then send it off to a field (defined as an "Ole Object" type in an Access 2000 database file) to the same CByteArray. When open the MS Access 2000 file the Ole Object field contains "Long Binary Data". How can view that Excel Ole Object document directly in Acesss 2000? I know that if you Insert the Ole Object manually in Access you are able to double click on the field and Excel would open that Ole Object. Please advise

I have a dialog based application which runs fine on NT and 2000. However, it doesnt work under XP. I have done some traces, the application gets invoked, but the main dialog window does not appear. Any ideas?

I used ::LoadImage to load an icon on an owner-drawn button.
On XP only, if the user changes the windows color scheme to "High Contrast#1"
then then images that use the color black are hard to see.
Can I peg the background color of a button so no matter what the user does the image remains unchanged?
thanks

Check out the LR_LOADMAP3DCOLORS flag for LoadImage. It will change the following colours RGB(128,128,128), RGB(192,192,192), and RGB(223,223,223) to the current system colours COLOR_3DSHADOW, COLOR_3DFACE, and COLOR_3DLIGHT respectively.
You'll need to do this whenever your applications receives WMW_SYSCOLORCHANGE too.

Thank you. The WMW_SysColorChange information was very helpful.

Are your buttons 'inside' a tab control (or another control)? If yes it's possible that the tab control is upper than your buttons thus it will be drawn 'over'. Try to use the BringWindowToTop function for your buttons
Hope this helps

By removing the bitmap, do the buttons appear and work? If so, then you know the problem is related to how the bitmap is being drawn.

I am trying to write a wrapper dll for a third party dll. I have previously written a simple application that interacts with the third party dll, and it works fine, but when I put the same code in the dll, it won't load the third party dll.
JNIEXPORT jboolean JNICALL Java_brp_integration_xor_XorBaseJ_initialize(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj, jstring path) {<br />
const char* pathStr = env->GetStringUTFChars(path, false); <br />
HINSTANCE LoadMe = LoadLibrary(pathStr);
env->ReleaseStringUTFChars(path, pathStr);<br />
<br />
<br />
if (LoadMe == 0)<br />
return false; <br />
...code that will never be reached<br />
Has anyone got any suggestions? I have checked pathStr, and it's value is correct.

What does GetLastError() return right after the LoadLibrary call?
PeterRitchie.com
|
|
|
|

It returns ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND, which feels a bit embarrasing. The path to the dll is correct though. I have checked it several times. It is possible to load a library that is not in the application's working directory or in a system directory, rigth? Is there any way to see which module is messing with me?

Hello,
I was wondering, is there a way to determine if a pointer points to data on the heap or on the stack?
I know that you can see if the pointer points 'near' the value of the ESP register, but thats not what I'm looking for...

I remember something about all heap memory having a certain bit set (high bit, bit 6, bit 7?), but I do not remember which it one, or if it is even really true.

This is exactly what I'm trying to do. I alreay implemented the "feature" but it the cost was to disable all the rest for safety reasons. (copy constructor, public destructor, etc..) I want these functions to be available for flexibility, but I think that I have to make a choice...
If I could get the upper bound and the lower boud of the heap address range, than I just could....

These functions may help : GetProcessHeaps() then a HeapWalk()/HeapValidate(). In case of debug build _CrtIsValidHeapPointer.

Hi:
I am trying to write an extended ListCtrl class for my own use and as a self-learning exercise. I have a perplexing problem here and I have tried to reduce it to the simplest of possible terms.
The two key code segments are as follows:
A button handler which requests that the list box items be sorted:
void CReportWiseDlg::OnSortBtn()
{
m_nrcDemo.SetRedraw( FALSE );
m_nrcDemo.SortItems( TempCmpFunc, (LPARAM)&m_nrcDemo );
m_nrcDemo.SetRedraw( TRUE );
}
And the CALLBACK function that provides the compare operation. In this case, I wanted to sort by column two which contains floating point values (which I have to convert, of course):
int CALLBACK TempCmpFunc(LPARAM lParam1, LPARAM lParam2, LPARAM lParamSort)
{
CNiceReportCtrl* pListCtrl = (CNiceReportCtrl *)lParamSort;
CString strItem1, strItem2;
int nItem1, nItem2;
nItem1 = (int)lParam1;
nItem2 = (int)lParam2;
strItem1 = pListCtrl->GetItemText(nItem1, 2);
strItem2 = pListCtrl->GetItemText(nItem2, 2);
double f1, f2;
f1 = atof( (LPCTSTR)strItem1 );
f2 = atof( (LPCTSTR)strItem2 );
if (f1 < f2)
return 1;
else if (f1 > f2)
return -1;
else
return 0;
}
Now, when I click my sort button, I can see my OnSortBtn routine get called. Furthermore, I can see my CALLBACK function getting called several times. For a List box with 8 rows, I counted 13 calls to my CALLBACK. The problem is that every single time the CALLBACK is called, the lParam1 and lParam2 input parameters are ALWAYS equal to ZERO. The net result of this is that the list does not get sorted. It stays exactly the same.
I just followed the example code provided on the MSDN disks for CListCtrl::SortItems. It all looked pretty straight-forward.
Can anybody suggest what might be going on?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Mark

If I remember correctly, lParam1 and lParam2 of the sorting callback function, do not contain the index of the items to compare, but instead they refer to the user data of those two items (You know, it's the custom value you can associate to any item by calling the function SetItemData)

You are correct. Most folks do not know that the control calls GetItemData() before calling their compare function. This is why SetItemData() is needed.
