maybe you should go read up on general GDI techniques. when you've done that - when you understand how HBITMAPs, HDCs, GetDIBits, CreateDIBSection and the rest of GDI actually works - then you can come back here and tell me how much i don't know about it.

until then, good luck with the attitude.

Buttons Not Enabled On My DialogBar

I am sure it's something simple that I'm over looking. I created a Dialog Bar and added some controls to it. I also created a class derived from CDialogBar. When I create my dialog bar in the main frame all the controls are functional except the buttons. The code I have is this:

class CLineBar : public CDialogBar<br />
{<br />
	DECLARE_DYNAMIC(CLineBar)<br />
<br />
public:<br />
	CLineBar();<br />
	virtual ~CLineBar();<br />
<br />
<br />
protected:<br />
	DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()<br />
};<br />
<br />
......<br />
CLineBar	m_LineBar;<br />
<br />
.......<br />
<br />
m_LineBar.Create(this, IDD_LINE_DLG, WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|CBRS_LEFT,0);<br />
<br />
<br />

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Please add the ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handler for the Button .

The controls are disabled because you don't have WM_COMMAND handlers for them yet. Either add handlers, or set the main frame's m_bAutoMenuEnable member to false.

Enexistent data

hint_54

6-Jun-06 6:27

I have a VC++ 6 project with the following:

//pointers.h
template <typename T> class tPointer {

   public:

      // Some routines here

   protected:

      // Some other routines

      // Data
      T              *pPointer;
      tUnsignedWord   pCounter;
};

// arrays.h
template <typename T> class tArray : public tPointer<T> {

    public:

       // Just the default constructor for now

    protected:

       tUnsignedWord   nSize;
};

But when I write:

// launcher.cpp
int main( void )
{
 tArray<int>  p;

 p.   // When I write the '.' (dot) a list of tArray's members appears

 return 0;
}

The problem is:

1) That list as the elements: nSize (fine with that) and pData (hã??)
2) tArray is not inheriting the routines from tPointer (i.e operator = ( tSomething ) )

Anybody knows why and how to solve this?

NOTE: I wrote a tArray class on a previous project that had a pData member.. Is it possible that VC++ keeps some sort of records and is now accessing them? Plus, those are the only files I have included in the project so far.

best regards [[]]

Adding a Form-View and Creating a Tab Control on the form view in a Single Document based VC++ program using MFC.

HI,
I request you to kindly help me out as soon as possible.It is extremely urgent.
Please tell me how to "Add a FormView and creat a Tab Control on the form view in a Single Document(SDI) based VC++ program using MFC."
I dont want to make it a Formview based application since it would not support printing options.
Hence I would like to add form view to the SDI based application,and then add a tab control on the form view,making the form view the main window.Subsequently,the tab control should be linked via code so that each tab behaves as a child dialog box.May I request you to kindly provide a solution in detail.I would be extremely grateful.
Thank You very much.

How to display another control on my coustom control?

I want to display two buttons and a coustom control on my own custom control that used as a panel.(as i know,there is no panel control in vc 6.0)
But it cannot work.
I thought in Onpaint() i can send WM_ONPAINT message to every control on this panel, let them draw their own. But i failed...
what is the right method?
thank you for help.

Each of your controls should receive the WM_PAINT message automatically. It is up to Windows to decide when to redraw a control, so you do not need to post this message. If you want to invoke redrawing of controls, you can use InvalidateRect or InvalidateControl functions.

Re: window and some other class in same window

I already asked you this question but I will ask again (maybe you will stop flooding the forums): what do you want to achieve exactly by mixing MFC (which not at all the case in your example) and SDL ? I already worked with SDL so I know how it works and how to use it. Basically, mixing SDL and MFC doesn't sound like a good idea. If you want to use it to manage events, then forget about it, because MFC won't let you easily manage that. If the purpose is only to paint a SDL surface in a MFC window, maybe this link[^] could be usefull.

But from what I see, you don't have any experience with MFC or win32 (this code looks like cut and paste). I strongly suggest you to learn that first (which could be time consuming).

Now, if you want to have a GUI system to work in cooperation with SDL, then I suggest you that you take a look at CEGUI[^] (as I already said previously, but without success).

And please, stop flooding the forums with the same question over and over again, unless you provide more information about what you are trying to achieve exactly.

This is ridiculous. You use SDL just to display images from a camera ? Why don't you use another technique (don't know which one but this looks like a very bad solution to me).

Manjunath S wrote:

Did you even bother to follow the links I gave you ? One of the link describes how to render SDL surfaces in a win32 environment.

Help! How to get Windows installation key

I am trying to get the Microsoft Windows installation key (the serial number) in my VC6 C++ program. The key can be found from XP->Control Panel->System->General. For example, the key on my computer is "55276-OEM-0011901-00102". Does anybody know how to get the string in C++ program?

Thanks in advance

I think GetVolumeInformation actually returns another kind of information -- the disk's serial number (the same which is shown by the vol command).

If you are familiar with Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), then you can obtain the Serial Number through the Win32_OperatingSystem WMI class, which has the SerialNumber data member as a string.

See Win32_OperatingSystem class and WMI-related information.

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