Hi!
Write slow, even if You can write fast, double check functions/methods/algos.
Review code You have recently wrote, test often (from user point of view - use release
version), etc.
It is better to write 50% slower and generate less errors, than write fast generate many errors, and then spend huge amount of time on corrections.
(of course, those are my opinions)

I have a lot of problem especially on windows 2000 to set focus input to windows in a multithread context (several threads manage windows)
I have found this remark in an MSDN article concerning SetForegroundWindow function :
Windows NT 5.0 and later: An application cannot force a window to the foreground while the user is working with another window. Instead, SetForegroundWindow will activate the window (see SetActiveWindow) and call theFlashWindowEx function to notify the user.
Is somebody can explain me what "while the user is working with another window" means exactly or where i can find it

Basically what it means is that from Win2K upwards, applications cannot steal focus from other applications. You can set the focus to any window in your app as long as the current focus is with one of the other windows in your app. But if the focus is on a window in a different app, then you cannot steal the focus.
I believe there is some undocumented registry setting to disable this prevent-steal-focus setting.

First thank you for your quick response to my problem on "The Code Project".
What you say seems to me very logical, but I have also the case in a multithreaded application where SetForegroundWindow fails to give the focus to the good window. In fact it seems that no window has the focus until I click on a window.
Do you know a logical explanation about that or a place to find an explanation to this problem.

Perhaps in a larger program the size of a STL program becomes more the same as a program without STL, however, I'm am creating some example programs and have realized that the little 50 or so line example programs I'm writing are building up to 500k or more in debug and 100k or more in release.
I looked a little closer and saw that there are quite a few dependencies that must be the reason. Is there any way around this? Is this normal? Do you guys/gals find it not as big of a problem with larger programs as the templatized functions and containers make up for themselves?
Thanks for you input in advance,

Debug code is ALWAYS really bug, don't worry about it.
In release mode, check your compiler optimisations. Default is optimise for execution speed, you can do a lot to bring the size down.
But the single biggest thing that affects your average windows program (maybe not STL though), is whether you statically link with MFC or dynamically link. dynamic linking is smaller, but your program has more dependancies.
Sorry to dissapoint you all with my lack of a witty or poignant signature.

I'm trying to get my program to send text to the edit box of another window.
I have no probelm getting the window's handle, and according to my "if" statements, its working.
this is what I have set up for my code while winvar is the variable for the window im sending text to:
::SendMessage(winvar, WM_SETTEXT, 0, (LPARAM)_T("text"));
Nothing appears in the windows edit box when I run the function, and it should be working according to my if statements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you do that, does it send the text to the title bar, or into the edit box?
I just tried the exact same code as you, and it changed the "Calculator" on the calculator window to "Hello World".
What I am trying to do is send text to the edit box... I'm not sure if that is the right name for it, so I'm going to say that i want to send text to the box that displays the numbers in the calculator window.

Try this then :- [it makes the title of calc "hello world" and the text box "chk" 
void CTest_deleteDlg::OnButton1()
{
HWND hWnd;
::SendMessage(hWnd=::FindWindow(NULL,"Calculator"),
WM_SETTEXT,0,(LPARAM)"Hello World");
::EnumChildWindows(hWnd,EnumChildProc,0);
}
BOOL CALLBACK EnumChildProc( HWND hwnd,LPARAM lParam )
{
::SendMessage(hwnd,WM_SETTEXT,0,(LPARAM)"Chk");
return false;
}

CHttpFile *s;
CHttpConnection *c;
CInternetSession *is;
if (useProxy)
is = new CInternetSession(NULL, 1, INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PROXY, ProxyURL);
else
is = new CInternetSession(NULL, 1, INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT);
c = is->GetHttpConnection("ip", (INTERNET_PORT) 4000);
wsprintf (param,"nickname=%s&password=%s&entranceRoom=%s",User,PassWd,RaumName);
wsprintf (length,"Content-Length: %d\r\n",strlen(param));
strcpy (header,hdrs2);
strcat (header,hdrs3);
strcat (header,hdrs4);
strcat (header,length);
strcat (header,hdrs5);
wsprintf(rline, "/Login.html");
s = c->OpenRequest("POST",rline,referer,0,NULL,"HTTP/1.1",INTERNET_FLAG_DONT_CACHE | INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD);
LPCTSTR lpszHeaders = header;
s->SendRequest(lpszHeaders, strlen(header), param, strlen(param));
f = new fstream("back.html", ios::out);
while (s->ReadString(l) != FALSE)
{
... // some *f things
}
delete f;
s->Close();
delete s;
delete c;
delete is;
this is only a little example from my code ... not even perfect but its working.
u always have to check ur headers and the things that you send.
best way to check is a html browser and a packet sniffer. there are many outta there. with the sniffer u see the original header and data. and could also check your program that it send also the right one.
bye
