Thanks. I'll look into this method.
still... this is extremely common right? It seems like there should be an easier way. Something through class wizard..?

Look at the Windows MFC site for the description of the SetWindowPos() function, you can understand it from there, I am sure.

How do you change the little icon picture in the title bar of a CDialog window?
Heather

you have to change the IDR_MAINFRAME resource with the new icon (still in OnInitDialog())...

How do you dynamically change the caption title in .NET for a CDialog window?
Heather Heiman
|
|
|
|
|
CDialog is not a .NET class, but a MFC one.
i so consider you're using MFC.
you simply have to do this :
this->SetWindowText("new caption");
in a function of your dialog class...

I tried that line of code, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I even called UpdateData to see if that would work. I'm calling SetWindowText in OnInitDialog. Is there another place I should call it?
Heather
|
|
|
|

there's no need to call UpdateData() if you use pointer (here, this).
you might be doing something wrong because it works fine for me (according you call it into OnInitDialog(), not into the dialog constructor)...

I had the SetWindowText call in the wrong function. I put it in OnInitDialog and it worked fine.

I have a windows message problem that has haunted me for a long time.
Suppose one application has two thread. Thread A "sends" and "posts" message
to a window handle in thread B.
Thread A
{
LOOP{
...
SendMessage(m_hwnd, msg1);
...
PostMessage(m_hwnd, msg2);
...
}
}
in winproc of Thread B:
Winproc
{
case (msg1): do something
...
case (msg2): do something
...
}
my question is: if Thread B is processing msg2, and Thread A are going to
send msg1 , Thread A will wait until Thread B finishes processing msg2??
|
|
|
|

The very definition of SendMessage() says that control does not return until the window procedure (the one in thread B) has processed the message. If this is a problem, use SendMessageTimeout() instead.

Hi David,does that mean: Thread B will always process msg1 then msg2 ,again and again? it could not process two continous msg2?? However, I found in my project,
this situation happens, but not often!

No.
Thread B will process msg1 and the SendMessage call in Thread A will only return when Thread B has finished processing.
Then Thread A will Post msg2 but the PostMessage call will return immediately without waiting for Thread B to process it.
Then it may be possible for Thread A to return to the top of the loop and send another msg1 while Thread B is still processing msg2.
That is precisely the way SendMessage and PostMessage are designed: SendMessage waits for processing, PostMessage doesn't wait.
The opinions expressed in this communication do not necessarily represent those of the author (especially if you find them impolite, discourteous or inflammatory).

Offcourse... Thread B should finish previous Message Processing before taking new task...

Intercepting the Ctrl+Alt+Del sequence is not a trivial task. To do it effectively requires a good knowledge of GINA.
When Windows is being shut down or restarted, it will send a WM_QUERYENDSESSION to each top-level window. Handle that message accordingly.

I see this answer quite often when it comes to questions about system shutdown/logoff so I want to clarify something. I have always been under the impression that the message to handle for system shutdown is WM_ENDSESSION not WM_QUERYENDSESSION. Query just asks the running apps if it is ok to shut down the system at this time, it makes no guarantees that the system is actually shutting down. If you close your app when it recieves the query it may end up being closed when the system is not shut down, leaving the user confused as to why the app closes on it's own for some unknown reason. Or am I misreading what it says in MSDN?

Your comprehension is fine. Most folks ask the question in a general sense. In this case, I usually direct them to WM_QUERYENDSESSION where they can then (hopefully) find WM_ENDSESSION, too.

I am trying to specify the paper tray / bin from which to print a document. I am using the DEVMODE structure and a call to CreateDC(). My other DEVMODE attributes work perfect, but no matter what I do, I cannot get the document to print from a different tray.
Code snippet here:
...
devMode.dmDefaultSource = this->tray; /* number between 1 and 15 */
devMode.dmFields = devMode.dmFields | DM_DEFAULTSOURCE;
return CreateDC(NULL, inPrinter, NULL, &devMode);
}
This has been driving me crazy for too long.
Any help is appreciated.

From where you getting this->tray... have you make a call to DeviceCapabilities ( which reterive capabilities of printer device)
