What error is generated ? Please, when you have errors, crashes and things like try to be as complete as possible. This will help people to understand better your problem.

use a Base ptr to point to Derived Object

It is not the case in your sample code. In your code, you just use the base class.

vikas amin wrote:
class Derived: public Base ,virtual temp

Also, what has this virutal temp to do there ?

If you are using a base pointer that has been allocated as an derived class (Base* ptr = new Derived;), if you don't specify that your destructor is virtual, then only the destructor of your base class will be called thus this may result in memory leaks (and other problem if you have specific clean-up code in the destructor of your Derived class)

use a Base ptr to point to Derived Object

so when deived class is instantiated,first base class constuctor will be called then the derived.llarly when the memory allocated to derived object gets cleaned up the reverse should takes place first the destructor of derived must be called and then base destructor.
so if cleaning takes place via base pointer the destructor must be made virtual.
but i suggest u to always make base destructor virtual if u want to derive class form the base class

Static WndProc()

Hi
Im just learning how to wrap a window procedure and i am following this tutorial from stromcode.

I am wondering why would I have to create an object of the class first and then store it as pointer variable (Win32WrapperClass* pWnd)?

Is there a reason why this has to be done, because i thought that if i create a Win32WrapperClass object now it would have no relation to the Win32WrapperClass i would create in my main.cpp

<br />
/* static window procedure */<br />
LRESULT CALLBACK Win32WrapperClass::stWinProc (HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)<br />
{<br />
<br />
Win32WrapperClass* pWnd;<br />
<br />
	if (uMsg == WM_NCCREATE) {<br />
		// Set the pointer<br />
		SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_USERDATA, (long)((LPCREATESTRUCT(lParam))->lpCreateParams));<br />
	}<br />
<br />
	// Get the pointer<br />
	pWnd = (Win32WrapperClass *)GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_USERDATA);<br />
<br />
	// If we got it, call the windows message handler, otherwise call the default<br />
	if (pWnd)	return pWnd->WinProc(hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);<br />
	else		return DefWindowProc(hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);<br />

any help on this would be great

cheers

Doing so allows you to write object oriented code and at runtime can easily manage the state of the window because you can always retreive the object associated with the window using the GWL_USERDATA given the window handle.

It is a little bit tricky to explain. First important point: the window procedure has to be static because static member functions and standard member functions behave differently (and don't have the same prototype). Standard member functions are kind of 'attached' to an instance of your class (so when they are called they 'know' to which instance they belong). In fact this is done by passing an additional parameter to your function, which the this parameter of the instance (and thus the pointer to the instance). This is done implicitely and the user doesn't know about it (it's hidden).
Now if you take a static member function, the behavior is different: for a static member function, it is shared among all instances of the class and thus, doesn't belong to any particular instance of the class. This has two consequences: first, there is no need for the implicit 'this' parameter (because the function doesn't blong to an instance) and second, the function doesn't have access to data from a particular instance: in a static function, you cannot access non-static member, you can only access to static member variables and functions (which are then shared among all instances).

For the windows procedure, it accept only a certain type of functions prototypes which are not member functions, thus the only way to have it in your class is to declare it static. The consequence is that it doesn't which instance it belongs to, so the need to 'save' first the this parameter associated with the specific window handle. This will allow you to get the 'this' parameter later and to be able to call the non-static window procedure of a particular instance.

Hope this helps, if you need some more precisions, don't hesitate to ask

Hi,
You should create dialogs at runtime and then show them in menu command handlers.

Basically it will be like this:-
CDialog *pDlg = new CDialog;
pDlg->Create(id,...)

Then you can show or hide them using
pdlg->ShowWindow(...)

There would be samples here in codeproject to get you started.

SetParent

I am making an application for Pocket PC using dialog based MFC on embedded VC++.

I try to attach an application like Word, Excel on dialog.
I used "SetParent" to attach the application on dialog.
The code is like this.
::SetParent(dlg.m_hSWnd, m_hWnd);

"dlg.m_hSWnd" is the handle of application that I want to attach on dialog.
"m_hWnd" is the handle of dialog.

Actually, applications are shown on dialog well.
However, it is shown without command bar that the application originally has.
What I hope to know is how to show the command bar.
If you know something about this kind of problem, help me please..

this code is what I tried

CDlgSelect dlg;
if ( IDOK == dlg.DoModal() )
{
::SetParent(dlg.m_hSWnd, m_hWnd);
CMenu *a=CMenu::FromHandle(dlg.m_hSMenu);
SetMenu( a );
::CommandBar_Show(dlg.m_hSWnd, true);
::SetForegroundWindow(dlg.m_hSWnd);
}

For non-user interaction:
cant you just save the string to a file with .txt extention? is it specific to the notepad application?

For user-interaction required:
You can also (maybe consider) use the clipbord to put the text data there and the user can then say paste to put the content whereever the user wants to paste.
This way you dont have to open a notepadd application all the time for each text that needs to be tranfered.

hi,

thanks for ur reply,
the situation is there is a string that should be displayed, when i press a button in the dialog box, in the text file(notepad), later the user can save the text file wherever he wants,.

if you write the explanation in detail that would be nice,

thanks in advance,

do you want to transfer a file from your namespace system to windows file system rite?

And your namespace system does not contain windows filesystem data?
