Hello,
If I look at all the applications that I use, I can type in a filename in every box that matches your description. So if there isn't a Microsoft guideline written down, there sure is an implicit guideline. So I would use the validation approach.
The validation isn't that hard to do: ::PathFileExists()[^] is all the validation you need.
Hope this helps.

I can't stand path-type edit boxes that do not allow me to type/paste into them. Simply use PathIsDirectory() or PathSearchAndQualify() for validation.

Use this[^]. It's brilliant and does exactly what you need.

I have a C++ DLL that some other programs use. I set SetUnhandledExceptionFilter in the DLL to catch any application crashes. The application crashes, the DLL's ProcessDetach isnt called, but this filter function isnt called either. Any tips for debugging this problem?
thanks!

Maybe someone called ExitProcess? put a breakpoint in ExitProcess and track back the call stack..

If that is the case my DLL's ProcessDetach should be called right? Other possibility is TerminateProcess is called.

I will try this. Although I only have release version of the application - I am not sure if I am going to get the call stack to see.
thanks!

Maybe another module called SetUnhandledExceptionFilter and replaced your handler but isn't calling yours. It is unusual for a DLL to call this API - Normally you'd do this kind of thing in the .EXE. You could place a breakpoint inside SetUnhandledExceptionFilter and check for this.

How do we detect that? How do find out the currently set unhandled exception filters, if any?

Actually, it used to work earlier. Due to some changes this regressed. I only need tips to debug this.

As I said I already have a message box as the first statement in SetUnhandledExceptionFilter filter, and that doesnt come up. So I am assuming my filter isnt called at all 
thanks!

I would use WinDBG as follows:
1. Start the process in question.
2. Type "bp kernel32!SetUnhandledExceptionFilter" in the command window.
3. Press F5.
4. When the breakpoint is hit look at the stack.
5. Goto step 3
This will show every call to SetUnhandledExceptionFilter made in the process. I would only pay attention to breakpoints that occur after your call to SetUnhandledExceptionFilter.

Hi,
I have a SDI application that I show a CListCtrl-derived control using the LVS_ICON style with a 24-bit color imagelist filled with 80x80 bitmaps to represent the items in the control. When I select an item in the control, it doesn't select properly. Only the text of the item is selected and it is gray as if the control doesn't have the focus. But the control does in fact have the focus. Why doesn't the item select properly, i.e., with a blue background?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Royce

Are you using a CListView?

No, the parent of the control is the CFormView created by the CSingleDocTemplate constructor when the application is created.
|

To ascertain whether it is the actual list control or the parent object (CFormView) causing the problem, I would suggest creating a temporary dialog-based project that contains the same sort of list control. Populate the list control in exactly the same fashion. Does it behave the same as the one in the SDI project?

Ok, I did as you suggest. I get exactly the same behavior. The items select just the text and are a dim gray.

I could post my test project, but I don't know if the forum would appreciate a 130 Kbyte post.

Can you supply a screenshot of the offending control?

You can't. You'll have to find a Web site that will allow such. There are a ton of them out there that can act as a repository.
