I found out what it was. I've got 5 different panes that all call back to CMainFrame with functions like SetLeftView(), SetRightView(), etc. I called SetRightView() instead of SetLeftView(), but I'm surprised it even made it that far.
Thanks,

Hi all.

I didn't found nothing. Can someone help me?
Please, help me.
Thx in advance.
Best Regards,
Marco Alves.

capture the window as a bitmap, then do some OCR to try to figure out what the text is

<sarcasm>Yeah, that's what he was looking for</sarcasm>

that's wasn't sarcasm. text isn't stored on-screen anywhere as text. by the time the output of TextOut gets to the screen, it's just brightly-glowing dots. the only way to know what text is at x,y is if you keep track of that info as you draw it. but if you're not the one drawing it...

i guess i mistook the direction of your sarcasm.

He may be able to get the text as text (without OCR) for a specific control (in his case a flexigrid). I agree that a general solution that works for any control would need to use OCR however. Active Accessibility is also an interesting possibility for controls that support it.

I have written a C++ program and I wish it to be able to be started by dragging a file icon onto the program icon in windows explorer. The program name is prog.exe, the file name is file.syx, they are both in folder "H:\folder". When the file is dragged onto the program icon in explorer and starts, the value of _argc=1 with _argv[0] being "H:\folder\prog.exe" and _argv[1] being "H:\folder\file.syx" as expected. I then use this information to open file.syx.
However, if the program and file are moved to a folder with a space in the name such as "H:\copy of folder", then when I drag file.syx onto prog.exe I get these unexpected results. _argc=3 with _argv[0]="H:\folder\prog.exe", _argv[1]="of", _argv[2] = "folder\prog.exe H:\copyof~2\file.syx".
If I just double click "H:\copy of folder\prog.exe" I get _argc=3 with _argv[0]="H:\folder\prog.exe", _argv[1]="of", _argv[2] = "folder\prog.exe ".
I have tested this program on windows98 and windowsXP with the same basic results. If anybody knows how to consistently get the name of a file that is ‘dragged onto a program icon to start that program’ from inside that program then I would appreciate the help.

If this is a Windows application, why aren't you using the standard drag&drop interface instead of argc/argv?

this program also has drag&drop where a person could drag a file onto the open window of the program to open that file. I wish to be able to open the file as the program starts up. I beleve this would also let me set the file extenshion (.syx) to that double clicking a .syx file would open that file in this program.

If double-clicking a .syx file is not working, then you need to adjust its registry setting by surrounding the %1 parameter in double quotes.

I have went to folder options and set .syx to open H:\copy of folder\prog.exe Now when I double click a .syx file , it opens prog.exe but I do not know how to get the information about the opening file other than to us _argv, and it gives strange results. I beleive I am missing somethin since standard programs such as notepade and others do this with no apparent problem.

Do you have a console or a Windows application?
Look in the registry for your .syx extension and note what you see. How is %1 being handled?

I am curently using windows98. I have open regedit and did a search for .syx and did not find anything with %1 in it. I am afraid you may be going over my head. i.e. i'm lost.

Which matters not.

It should be near the top of the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT hive with all of the other file extension types.
For example, if you look for .txt, you'll see it has a default value of txtfile. Looking further down the list for txtfile, you should find:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\open\command
Does the same sort of thing not exist for your .syx extension?

under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/.syx It says (default) "syx_auto_file"
under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/syx_auto_file it says (default) SYX File
SYX File does not show up anywhere else

You should have a shell key under that. In all, it should look like:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\syx_auto_file\shell\open\command
If not, why not make the necessary changes to see if that helps.

I must have missed the + befor the folder icon becouse there is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\syx_auto_file\shell\open\command and it's value is ""H:\Copy of folder\prog.exe"%1"
My apoligies for missing this the first time.

This is just a guess, but those double quotes look ill-placed. It's hard to tell which are actually part of the registry's value and which you added as part of the post. I would have thought it to look something like:
"H:\Copy of folder\prog.exe" "%1"

I got it to look like you said. now when I double click a .syx file I get _argc=4 with _argv[3] as H:\copyof~2\file.syx
I could use _argv[_argc-1] to get this value but I still get unexpected results from just double clicking the aplication icon in explorer window.
p.s. what does the %1 do?
