rect.top = 20; etc . Do likewise for rect.left,rect.right,rect.bottom

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Instead of the code that you are writing try this.

void CMyButton::OnSize(...)
{
CButton::OnSize(...);
CRect rect(10,10,30,30);
m_rgn.DeleteObject();
SetWindowRgn(NULL, FALSE);
m_rgn.CreateEllipticRgnIndirect(rect);
SetWindowRgn(m_rgn, TRUE);
}

I hope this helps

Hi ,

HOW WHAT wrote:
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(rect);

I'm not sure , but according to MSDN , GetClientRect()
gets as parameter the pointer to the rect , and not the rect
itself :

CWnd::GetClientRect  
void GetClientRect( LPRECT lpRect ) const;

So try the following instead :

CRect rect;
GetClientRect(&rect);

Hopes this helps ,

Eli

Hi all,

I created combo box with control variable. I like to set the no of characters to be keyed in in the combobox(editable).

In brief, set the text limit to the Combobox control variable. Can anyone help me in this problem?

Thanks in Advance.

Use LimitText( long lLimit )

ComboBox m_Combobox;
m_Combobox.LimitText( 64 );

sending and receiving float

hello all,
I want to serially transmit float variables/data types between the PC and the serial device (RABBIT 3000 -an 8bit microcontroller).

I am transmitting with databits as 8 for serial transmission as my microcontroller is an 8bit one.

I convert float to long and bitshift to assign it to a buffer of type char.
But if I do this, then say,
I want to transmit 3.4,then I can transmit only 3 and not the .4
as I convert form float to long before transmitting.

How can I transmit a float data variable from PC to microcontroller or the vice-versa serially.?

Use...

typedef union
{
   float fFloatVar;
   UCHAR ucFloatByteArray;
}FloatConverter;
 
FloatConverter fc;
fc.fFloatVar = 23.456f;

Now just send the bytes in FloatConverter.ucFloatByteArray one by one.

Now while receiving store each byte into the byte array FloatConverter.ucFloatByteArray and then

float fFloatNumber = FloatConverter.fFloatVar;

I guess this should help you.

Thanks to toxcct...

Or how about:

unsigned char* byteptr = (unsigned char*)&floatVal;
for(int i = 0; i < sizeof(float); ++i)
   Send(byteptr[i]);

You can use this technique for any struct/basic type, without having to create a "converter" union for each type.

Have you removed the wizard comments from source?

AFAIK we can use class wizard, only if we created the project by classwizard.

When pressing the Ctrl+W it will ask for the list of files. I think it appears only for the projects created through class wizard Frown | :(

Follow these steps:
1) From View menu, bring up the MFC ClassWizard
2) Add a member variable of CString type for the ComboBox
3) Set maximum characters to a number of your choice
4) Recompile the project

On the "Member Variable" panel, select the variable you just created. As it's a CString type, an edit box named "Maximum characters" will appear at the bottom.

Weird Class name

 class RTI_EXPORT RTIambassador {<br />

#include "RTIambServices.hh"<br />

  };<br />
<br />
  class RTI_EXPORT FederateAmbassador {<br />
  public:<br />
#include "federateAmbServices.hh"<br />
  };

WHOAA!! What is this suppose to mean
How come we have two names for this class

class RTI_EXPORT RTIambassador {<br />
<br />
.....<br />
<br />
};

Does this mean you can refer to this class by two different names

i need to know how to get the width of a string of text
.GetLength("string"); will return 6
.GetLength("String"); also returns 6
but
.GetStringWidth("string"); returns 22
.GetStringWidth("String"); returns 27 which is what i need but .GetStringWidth is part of a listctrl and i may not always use a listctrl with my class so i need a work around for it.
i hope this is clear on what i need.

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