Hi folks i need a little help about hiding maximize button.
I have created an app wizard MFC application..
I wanted to set the window (show when application starts execution) dimension which i did in Function

BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)

setting cs width and height.

The problem is now i want to make sure this windowsize is unchaged;
for this i want the user is only able to minimize and open the window to the size i fixed in "PreCreateWindow"..
i.e. maximize and restor button are disabled plz tell me how to do it...

Reagrds, Jinbaba

Is it checked the "Minimize box" and unchecked the "Maximize box" in the Dialog properties/Styles tab ?

Showing bitmap in picture control?

24-Jul-05 21:52

In PreCreateWindow, try removing the WS_MAXIMIZEBOX and WS_THICKFRAME styles.

How to show CBitmap in VC++ 7.0 picture control, I assign it
CBitmap *bmp;

bmp->CreateBitmap(w,h,1,24,pdata);
m_static.SetBitmap(HBITMAP(hbmp));

but it does not appear in picture control?

Hello

Did you use SS_BITMAP style for your static control ?

Here is sample from MSDN:

CStatic myStatic;

// Create a child bitmap static control.
myStatic.Create(_T("my static"), 
   WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|SS_BITMAP|SS_CENTERIMAGE, CRect(10,10,150,50), 
   pParentWnd);

// Set the bitmap of the static control to be the 
// system check-mark bitmap.
myStatic.SetBitmap( ::LoadBitmap(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(OBM_CHECK)) );

No, I need to display manualy created bitmap, not from resource.
you see bmp->CreateBitmap( .... ) with pdata pointing to bitmap pixels values
As to static, it is added from toolbox with type Bitmap.

So, what is the problem ? SetBitmap is expecting HBITMAP. You can load it from resource or create it manually.

the problem is that picture box static does not want to show my assigned bitmap after I created it manualy?
CBitmap *bmp;

bmp->CreateBitmap(20,20,1,24,pdata);
static.SetBitmap(HBITMAP(bmp));

?????

Can anyone provide me Source code which could detect Spywares which Run under stealth mode for detecting keyloggers? Is there any specific algorithm for detecting spywares?

I have made a simple dialog based application in which there is just one button.ON that button click i have written the following code.
ShellExecute(NULL,"open","c:/myfile.zip",NULL,NULL,0);
The problem is when i click the button first time , the dialog window loses the focus and that zip file doesn't open but when i press that button again it perfectly opens that file.Can anyone explain what is the problem.
Thanks in advance.

You mean ShellExecute(NULL,"open","c:\\myfile.zip",NULL,NULL,0), right?

Try using SW_SHOWNORMAL as the last parameter:

ShellExecute(NULL,"open","c:\\myfile.zip",NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWNORMAL);

I think you are not using pkunzip from the Dos world, so...
Check your unzip software e.g, WinZip or WinRar etc for its command-line version to unzip the files. Look in the unzip software's help.

this is this.

Jose Lamas Rios25-Jul-05 19:08

Buttons are disabled on dialog templates,.

25-Jul-05 19:08

Either that or use the zip lib (google for it) to unzip the files yourself without launching a separate application.

Hello..

I made a dialog resource with three CButton's and a CEdit for use on a CDialogBar.. the dialog resource is set to WS_CHILD..

Now when i used the resource on a CDialogBar.. and i used CDialogBar directly without subclassing it, the buttons is always disabled... But i didn't set it to disabled on the resource editor..

Why is this?

The scenario is that I have a CDockBar docked on a mainframe, and i placed a LayeredCWnd on it as its child..Now the LayeredCWnd has the CDialogBar as its child..

Then when i run the program the buttons in the dialogbar is always disabled, while the Edit control is not..

"WatcH the BIrDiE!"

I don't understand why it's happenning but you could force to enable these controls when you initializes the dialog (OnInitDialog):

m_button.EnableWindow(true);
m_edit.EnableWindow(true);

Hope it helps,

One reason they may be disabled is that there is no handler for them. Since you say the DialogBar is on your MainFrame, add handlers in the MainFrm class for the buttons.

I'm assuming MFC here, and MFC automatically disables items it can't find a handler for.

Hope that helps.
