That's a different story!

I suggetst you to do like this:
Open the file for reading, exclusive access. Then you will know two things:
A.
The file exists.
B.
The file is not opened by some other application.
Close the file, if it's open.

If you get an error, then examine the error. If you get ERROR_ACCESS_VIOLATION (?) then the file exists but is opened by some other application. Show user error and terminate the function.

If you get an error meaning that the file doesn't exist, then create a new file. (CreateFile, GENERIC_WRITE, maybe exclusive access).

I think that should do it.

Hi,

HANDLE hFile =CreateFile(m_szFileName,GENERIC_READ, // access (read-write) mode
0, // share mode (exclusive access)
NULL, // pointer to security attributes
OPEN_EXISTING, // how to create
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, // file attributes
NULL // handle to file with attributes to copy
);

I can not get the case as above(A and B), the hFile HANDLE always is 0xffffff when the file not existed and the file opened by orther function (always is INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE for tow case),
the constant ERROR_ACCESS_VIOLATION had not defined.

How way to recognize what the error happends with CreatFile function?
Any help again?

Hi,
I still have problem with deleting file.
I did as below:

HANDLE hFile =CreateFile(m_szFileName,GENERIC_READ, // access (read-write) mode
	0, // share mode (exclusive access)
	NULL, // pointer to security attributes
	OPEN_EXISTING, // how to create
	FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, // file attributes
	NULL // handle to file with attributes to copy
	);

	DWORD lerr =0;
	lerr=GetLastError();
	
	if(INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE == hFile){
		if(lerr==ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED){
		fclose(logFile);
		 strcpy(m_szErrorMessage, "SetRecordFileName(): File access error! Please check and try again!");
		 return (false);		
		}
	}else{

		//Create new file
	}


This show the error when the file opened by orther appp but it still be deleted when the app close.

Any help again??

Many thank!

Any clues to implement a list item as a hyperlinked text using MFC?
On clicking the hyperlinked list item, some other action should take place.

Any clues Please.

Thanks
Raji

You can OwnerDraw the list box to make it's items to behave like a hyperlink. When the mouse is over the item set the forecolor to blue and underline the text. When out restore previous state. Changing mouse cursor also looks good.

There are selection change event handlers that can do the click part.

Actually there no intrinsic function in VB6 for shutdowning the System. It uses Shell TypeLibraries to utilise the Shell features. In MFC I dont' know where there is such a fesiloty available now. But you can shutdown the local system using the function ExitWindowsEx( UINT, DWORD )
The first parameter Indicate action of Exit it should be EWX_SHUTDOWN for shutdowing the system
The second parameter is the type of Shutdown it could be either EWX_FORCE of EWX_FORCEIFHANG

Well you've got to design a layout manager. Just like the ones you find in Java. Wink | ;)

The best place to trigger a layout is WM_SIZE.

It should be easy to find one. Hey CP has one for sure I think I saw one. Unsure | :~

Of course WhiteSky has mentioned two. But they work on a single control. But the above mentioned technique can take a bunch of controls and resize them as your specify.

I think I saw one or two or three... of those layout managers in Code Project. Please check.

There is no need to design a layout manager. You just have to resize the dialog box controls as follows.

1. Get the Client rectangle of the Dialog Box. ( Use: GetClientRect(LPRECT))
2. Calculate the new size of controls.
4. Validate whether the dialog controls are valid window ( Use; IsWindow( HWND ))
5. Move dialog controls to the new position i they are valid windows.

Hope it is useful
Thank You

Which is what the layout manager will do for you. Hmmm | :|

Layout manager in Java ( Like you said ) will automatically resize the controls in the window.
Since we have a very simple method to resize the controls in MFC, designing a layout manager is overhead to the developer.
In Java it's depends upon the personel interest since there are both the features are readly available.

Not always. It depends on the way you design it.

Now imagine she want's to change the layout! Imagine the overhead.

That is why you must have a layout manager. When you design, generalize your design. That is what OOP is all about.

If you don't want any layout don't call the layout manager. I love the Java layout manager classes. Smile | :)

its really depends upon the persnel interest. I respect you interest. I believe Layout can generalize the functionality, but my code do the same in simple and a few lines.

While I was working with layout managers in Java, i feel i have only a less freedom to move the control over the window. And I satrted to put NULL in the Java Window layout and moved my controls independently.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
