Hmmmm... I am under the impression that you need to call ParseCommandLine(...) first in order to populate the fields you are manipulating (like cmdInfo::m_strFileName)? Then you can change the m_nShellCommand value to prevent the app from opening the file...?
Peace!

I think you are right. I wasn't too sure what ParseCommandLine did. Thank you both!

Hi!
I have to calculate the number of characters an HTREEITEM of tree ctrl can hold. I am not sure what functions can help me with this. I would appreciate any suggestions on this.
Thanks,
NC

A HTREEITEM is a handle to a tree item. Like all Windows handles, it is a 32 bit unsigned quantity. Perhaps you meant to ask something else?

Yes I did. I meant, the number of charaters each item(line) in a tree ctrl can hold. I want to calculate the number of characters that the tree ctrl can display on a single line.
Sorry for the confusion, I hope this is clear.
Thanks,
NC

Can you get the tree control's client area, take into account the item's indentation (get the tree item's label rect basically), and use CDC::GetTextExtent(...), or a similar function, to determine that? (Note, of course, that this will only get you a solid value if you are using a monospace font, like Courier New.)
Peace!

The text size of each column for a tree control entry is theoretically unlimited.

Hi!
Thanks for replying. Here is what I want to do, check the width of the tree ctrl and based on that figure out how much of my std::string variable(which could be very long) to display. I am not sure how to convert the length of the string to pixels.
Are there any functions that will help me here?
Thanks so much,
NC

Yes, you can use DrawText() using the tree control's DC to determine the exact width of the string to be displayed. If you're using MFC, I'd subclass CTreeCtrl and turn this into a method - eg: CMyTreeCtrl::getTextWidth (CString& strDisplay) - that you can conveniently call from anywhere once the tree control is constructed (and has a DC!).
Use the DT_CALCRECT flag to calculate the bounds used by the text. The call will automagically use the correct font currently in use by the tree control.

Hi!
Thanks again for replying. I am new to a lot of this, so I need a little more info.
I have my tree ctrl subclassed. And I am drawing some stuff in custom draw. I looked up DrawText() and seems like I should be able to use it to do what I want. But, I am not sure what you meant by

Did you mean have a method that returns the size of the text being passed?
Thanks for all your help,
NC

What I meant was if you expose the "get text width" functionality via a method, you could determine the width outside of the tree control. This may not be necessary in your application if you need to compute the text width only while drawing (i.e. the only object interested in the text width is the tree control itself).
Did you mean have a method that returns the size of the text being passed?
Yes.

Hi!
Thanks for replying. I will have to bother you one more time.
Is there any way to convert the rect of the tree item and the string length to some common unit and compare the two? I have to chop off my std::string and display it on 2 or 3 lines based on the current width of the the tree ctrl. So, I need to calculate it before DrawText().
Thanks for all your help.

Not that I know of. There is a neat function PathCompactPath that automatically compresses file paths, given a device context, but this is different from what you want to do.

Thanks for all your help. I did look at PathCompactPath() and like you seed, I cannot use that.
If you think of a way to do this, please do let me know.
Thanks so much,

I think you've got to box the double, i.e. push it into an Object before insertion. Why don't you try at the C# forum?

how can i push it into an object?
I put the question here because this is VC++ not C#, maybe VC++ managed code questions are similar to C#, but... if here is like OT, i put it in the other forum.

Try with Object obj=__box(myDouble). We warned I'm no managed C++ expert

I have a DLL that was NOT created with the app wizard. It has a single entry point, no DllMain, no nothing - just a single function.
If I were to re-architect the DLL from within appwiard (create a new dll and move the existing code into it, including the entry point function), would I experience any bizarre behavior?

As far as I know, as long as you keep the same entry point name and keep the same ordinal number if specified, you shouldn't have a problem.

But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

Look up the GetAsyncKeyState(...) function for starters... (That is, of course, if you are not peeking at window messages...)

Hello programmers,
i have currently a problem, maybe my brain is no more functioning correctly, i can't save an item from a CLIstBox into a CString variable. The thing is that the ListBox was created at runtime from (CMyListBox) a CListBox class i derived. Please could you help me get the selected of the listbox into a CString variable. Remember there's no resource for the listbox, that is no dialog box.
Thanks in advance

You mean when you use GetSel() and GetText() you can't do it?
