Hi,
I am programming a custom error dialog box with two three CStatic Controls.
The first is a title, the second is a message and the third is a picture box set to be a icon.
The first two are okay. The third is really bugging me!
I've created a variable for the CStatic from the Variable Wizard called m_Icon and then in Init_Dialg I set it to a standard Icon using this:
<br />
m_Icon.SetIcon(AfxGetApp()->LoadStandardIcon(IDI_EXCLAMATION)); <br />
I have also tried creating an Icon using HICON and setting the control to the HICON and using the method m_Icon.SetIcon(::LoadIcon(IDI_EXCLAMATION));
They all compile fine.
But when i the app runs, i dont see the Icon. The Controls Visability is set to TRUE.
Where have I gone wrong and how can I correct this?
Many Thanks
Tom.
P.S Personally creating Custom Error Dialogs is a pain, and I am looking forward to seeing the Windows Vista TaskDialog!!

LoadStandardIcon() takes a LPCTSTR, not an UINT. Use the MAKEINTRESOURCE macro to convert IDI_EXCLAMATION to an LPCTSTR.
m_Icon.SetIcon(AfxGetApp()->LoadStandardIcon(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_EXCLAMATION)); ::LoadIcon takes two parameters, the first of which is the handle to the applications's instance, or NULL if loading standard icons. I am surprised the code even compiled.

Actually, IDI_EXCLAMATION is defined in winuser.h using MAKEINTRESOURCE(), so it's not needed here.

Does your static control have the SS_ICON style set?

Yes, it's a message loop and ...??? What is EXACTLY the question ?
|
|
|
|

do you think this would be substantially enough for a DX game?

Because you're using PeekMessage rather then GetMessage your loop spins in the outer while loop even when there is no message to process. Unless you have an else not show in the code above in the if ( PeekMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE ) ) statement this code is needlessly inefficient. I would suggest you replace it with a GetMessage and watch the CPU usage go down.

thank you for the comment, and yes I do have an else statement in the block but forgot to write it in. so you think it will still be good if it has an else block or should i stick with getmessage?

Normally you'd use PeekMessage and perform some idle time processing in the else part. I'm not sure what's going on in the else bit but it looks ok to me. I find myself a little concerned that you may be busy waiting but I'd have to see the else bit to be sure.

Does anyone know of a good C++ lib that is free and can replace ATL functionality, specifically implementing enough for the Web Browser component?
[edited:]
This is specifically to implement the set of COM interfaces needed to host the IWebBrowser control. I'd prefer not to have to write all this nonsense from scratch, hence the interest in a library other than ATL to do so for me. MFC won't work, it needs to be freely redistributable in source form (and no GPL crap licensing either).

MFC although wouldn't recommend it... WTL which is on sourceforge... found here http://sourceforge.net/projects/wtl[^]
ALSO TRY USING .NET WHICH IS LIKE MFC ON ULTRA STERIODS.
I personally think that .NET will eventually replace windows programming, not including game programming.

ATL is a library to write COM code, right? How does it relate to MFC, which is primary targeted for GUI development?

He didn't say it had to support COM code, right? and also, I said that I wouldn't recommend it (MFC);)...  also I said WTL which is actually based off of ATL. Any more questions about what I said?
Doesn't MFC support Web Browser functionality?

I suggested that he use .net instead of atl for gui programming.

Because I need to add WebBrowser support in the VCF. Currently I'm using ATL to do so, but I have been told that it's not usable on compilers like MINGW, because the ATL headers/libs are not re-distributable. So I need something else.

Yeah I found that too. It looks like good wrapper for the basic COM stuff, but sadly they don't implement any of the OLE container junk you need to host activeX controls like IWebBrowser.

I'm writing an application which will change the PCs IP settings (IP, gateway, DNS, etc)
Any pointers on how to do this? Thanks, mutty

I too have been looking in to it. And havent found any way... well except writing a kerner driver. So I use the "netsh" command. I think its available on all windows installations. You can change the IP for the current window session with the help of the IPHelper API (MSDN has examples of its use). But I guess you want to change it permanently.
This is how you would write to change the IP address.
netsh interface ip set address <connection> static <ip> <mask> <gateway> <gateway metric="">
