Hey everyone:
I want the user to choose when they close down my application, so I listen for user input... but these pesky IM windows always interrupt my app and steal focus. I've tried not responding to the following messages.... then I tried what you'll see below.
I thought by handling them I'd be OK... but IM windows (from Gaim for instance) totally kills focus of my program. Thoughts? Thanks!
case WM_KILLFOCUS:
case WM_QUIT:
case WM_CLOSE:
case WM_DESTROY:
return(DefWindowProc(hWnd, message, wParam, lParam));

You can't prevent your window from losing focus to something else. Imagine if two programs did this - they would constantly be fighting over which one is the active window. What is it about your app that makes you want to prevent other windows from being active?

I can imagine the problem you describe. However I've seen some applications deal with it, and not yield control. I'm building a simple screensaver which I think shouldn't be interrupted by such trivial things as IM windows. You still hear the noise afterall.
So I *know* there is a way, because I've seen programs that don't change focus when another window requests it.
So how do you do it? :P

Well, a screen saver is a special case (in NT at least). The screen saver runs on its own desktop, so it will be the only window visible no matter what, because the interactive desktop won't be visible.

hi,
steps to capture the filename from the first dialog (CreateDlg)
1) store the Filename in the CString Variable before the Ok Button was Pressed.
2) In OnInitDialog of the Second Dialog i mean (UpdateDlg) create a an Object of the First Dialog (CreateDialog) :
//==============================================================
(ie) CreateDialog *mpmain = (CreateDialog *)GetParent();
CString str = mpmain->filenamemembervarialbe;
ComboBox.Addstring(str); //Adding to ComboBox in SecondDialog
//==============================================================
over, Good Luck.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply..
I just store the file name as below
void CCreateDlg::OnOk()
{
CString fname;
fname=m_FILE_NAME;
--
---
---
}
Now in the UpdateDlg In the
BOOL CUpdateDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
}
----
I want to know what is *mpmain ??? is this MainDialog window ???
|
|
|
|

hi,
yes it is Main Window Dialog you are correct. also when you want to access the Mainwindow Dialog in second dialog dont forget to include the first dialog header in second dialog.
ie (i mean) # include "firstDialog.h" in the second Dialog.
good luck.

Hi,
I am bit confused now. In my project the main Dialog is CDesktopSearchDlg
after that i have CreateDlg & UpdateDlg.
//Uday
firstDialog.h" in the second Dialog.
//
i want to which is first dialog and which is 2nd dialog.
Is this code below correct ??
BOOL CUpdateDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();
CreateDlg *CDesktopSearchDlg = (CreateDlg *)GetParent();
CString str = CDesktopSearchDlg->fname;
m_UPDATE_FILE_NAME_COMBO.AddString(str);
}
|
|
|
|

hi,
there is no confusion at all, from which dialog you want to access the control values ((ie) the String value of the File Name) just create an instance of the dialog and access the control values.
good luck.
uday.

hi parichay,
change the Class instance and Class to Different values. you are using CCreateDlg class name and Member varible as same which is confusing. please change the values as
//==========================================================================
CreateDlg *pCreateDlg = (CreateDlg *) GetParent();
CString szStr = pCreateDlg->fname;
//==========================================================================
check with it.
good luck,
uday.

Hello and thanks for reading.
I was wondering if it is possible to make a message handler without the burden of the window.
See i want to make an asyncronous socket and it requires a message handler to use properly. I need something like a thread or something of that maner to use and make my ultimate class  .
Again, thanks. Really appreciated.
Worlds stupidest question: Who am i?!
