Ooo

, I did not pass the handle's value but the handle's address!

I have mistake in declaration:
ShowConfigurationDialog(ByRef ParentHWND, ...)

Right one:
ShowConfigurationDialog(ByVal ParentHWND, ...)

Compiler doesn't know class.... sometimes

In preparation for retro-incorporating the MiniExcel class into a number of my projects I've set up a practice project in order to get familiar with the class. I'm in VC++ 6.0 and the project is an MFC exe. I've put the mexcel.cpp and mexcel.h files in the base project directory. I've added both files to the project. I've #included mexcel.h in stdafx.h and also, for good measure, in the view doc file. The class shows up in the Classes tab, though it doesn't show up in ClassWizard after a rebuild of the CLW file.

I've declare an object of class CMiniExcel as a local variable inside a button message handler. When I go to compile I get four errors. The first three indicate that the class is unknown. The fourth is:

fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive

Additionally I've noticed that instead of being placed in the DEBUG directory the system has created a directory with the projects base name followed by ___Win32_Debug

Am I using a class that needs to be modified to work under MFC or am I overlooking something else.

Thanks,
Lilith

See the FAQ
2.5 I added some source files I got from someone else into my project and the compiler gives the error "C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive." Why?[^]

Fixing the PCH settings may take care of the other errors

A revision to my previous reply. I've gotten past the error but have gotten four warnings of the same type. It compiles and links. But I'd be interested in suppressing the warnings if possible. The error/warning is

C4786
'identifier' : identifier was truncated to 'number' characters in the debug information

The identifier string exceeded the maximum allowable length and was truncated.

It doesn't appear to be an identifer as much as it's an expansion of a vector template. Since namespace is specified as std that gets included in the expansion to the point that the entire line is over 300 characters.

MDI non-themed max/min boxes

Hello.

When creating a MDI application (with MFC AppWizard VC++ 6.0) you have the choice of excluding the maximize/minimize boxes for the child frames.

When creating my MDI app, I chose to not have the maximize/minimize boxes, but to have the child frames start in 'maximize mode'. However, when the child frames are viewed in 'maximized mode', the non-themed minimize and maximize buttons are still drawn.

Is there a way to remove or at least disable the non-themed maximize/minimize buttons?

You can remove WS_MAXIMIZEBOX and WS_MINIMIZEBOX from the concerned window's style.

BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
	//Modify the Window class or styles here by modifying the CREATESTRUCT cs

	<code>cs.style&=~(WS_MAXIMIZEBOX|WS_MINIMIZEBOX);</code>
	if( !CMDIChildWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
		return FALSE;

	return TRUE;
}

I tried that in the BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs) function. However, that only removes the boxes if the child frame is not in 'maximized mode'. What function should I edit/override to also remove the non-themed buttons (those show when in maximized mode)?

Thank you very much,

I am almost there. The only thing is that removing the WS_SYSMENU also removes the [x], which I would like to keep. Is it possible to do that?

Use pWndTheWindow->EnableWindow(False);

Doing this from another window requires that you must have a pointer to the dialog that contains the control which you want to disable.

or use GetDlgItem(ID_OF_THE_CONTROL)->EnableWindow(BOOL)

eg:
GetDlgItem(IDC_CHECK_DISABLE_HSC)->EnableWindow(FALSE);//disables the check control

Getting resources from DLL with res: protocol?

Hello everyone! Big Grin | :-D

Alright... here's how I want to get my bitmap:

res://Graphics.dll/RT_BITMAP/101

That doesn't seem to work right, neither in my program nor in Internet Explorer (yes, I'm plugging the full path with forward slashes and everything)...

Does anyone know what's wrong? I didn't compress my DLL...

Thanks! Wink | ;-)

You can't use the RT_BITMAP - The C preprocessor knows that this means but to the "res:" protocol it means nothing. Replace it with 2.

I also tried including full path (on all of them), and I tried them both on my program and on Internet Explorer... is there something wrong still? Thanks! Wink | ;-)

Try this to prove to youself that it can work:
res://shell32.dll/2/130 (I'm assuming you're using XP).
You can simply type it into to IE address bar.

I'd suggest you check your IDs.

I have a program in which items are added to a listcontrol box. I run the program once, add some items to the list and then exit from the program. The requirement is that, when i run the program again, the listbox should show the items i added in the previous run. What should i do???

You need to save these items somewhere(probably in the registry) and restore it next time at startup.

Shudder.

I don't know what the standard practice is, but the thought of every program using the registry to store "junk" scares me. No wonder my registry is so full of junk.

Are there any quidelines which say what a program should store in registry, and what should be stored in a data file?

Nice to hear that.

There are no guidelines as such. But normally applications store their settings inside the registry (could be because it's easy to store and retrieve). Or else you've got to store it somewhere. Create your own dat file or opt file or just write these values inside a collection and serialize them (this is what I do).
