Re: How to capture mouse events from a control within a Dialog Box? Waldermort22-Jan-07 2:28 Waldermort 22-Jan-07 2:28  You have derived from CDialog, but the trouble is mouse messages are sent to the controls ( your list control ) not the dialog itself. You need to derive a class from the list control and handle the messages from there. Another way you could handle this is checking the message paramater of the MSG struct after each call to GetMessage(). Though I'm not exactly sure how you adjust the message loop in MFC. Re: How to capture mouse events from a control within a Dialog Box? Arris7422-Jan-07 6:33 Arris74 22-Jan-07 6:33  You have derived from CDialog, but the trouble is mouse messages are sent to the controls Actually, the messages are correctly routed to the CDialog. But when the mouse is within the control, I do not know where the messages are routed. You need to derive a class from the list control and handle the messages from there I derived a class from CListCtrl but no messages are routed to this class. Though I'm not exactly sure how you adjust the message loop in MFC. What is the procedure to do this? What is entry point in VC++ to setup this? Pass a sting to a dll that neads a WCHAR Calvin Streeting22-Jan-07 2:02 Calvin Streeting 22-Jan-07 2:02  Hi.. I am having trouble passing a string of a file name (from VB to my c++ DLL) the function StgOpenStorage requires a "const WCHAR*" for the filename. so what type should i pass to it. I would prefer to pass a VB string and let the DLL do the relevant transulation of types (i don't want to use strPtr(filename) in VB many thanks sample code //------------------------------------------------------------- SSFILEDLL_API bool __stdcall OpenEmail(fileName) { if (bIsopen == false) { HRESULT hr; hr = MAPIInitialize(NULL); if (FAILED(hr)) return false; hr = OleInitialize(NULL); if (FAILED(hr)) return false; //get storage from msg file //here is the bit where the filename is used //hr = StgOpenStorage(L"C:\\Email.msg" works but i want to pass it from vb hr = StgOpenStorage(filename , NULL, STGM_READWRITE | STGM_TRANSACTED | STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE, NULL, 0, &pStorage); if (FAILED(hr)) return false; //open a IMessage session hr = OpenIMsgSession (pMalloc, 0 , &pMsgSession); if (FAILED(hr)) return false; //open an IMessage on the IStorage object hr = OpenIMsgOnIStg(pMsgSession, MAPIAllocateBuffer, MAPIAllocateMore, MAPIFreeBuffer, pMalloc, NULL, pStorage, NULL, 0,0,&pSourceMsg); if (FAILED(hr)) { return false; } else { bIsopen = true; return true; } } else { return false; } } Re: Pass a sting to a dll that neads a WCHAR toxcct22-Jan-07 2:15 toxcct 22-Jan-07 2:15  read the posting guidelines[^], especially when you post huge code blocks.

Twine 22-Jan-07 3:01     I was under the impression that VB strings were wide/Unicode by default, and would be in the form of a BSTR (BSTR == BASIC String, IIRC), which is already a wide string.    You can pass a BSTR in place of a const wchar_t* or const WCHAR* just fine.  As far as how to get that BSTR directly to the function in the DLL, I cannot help you there - I do not do VB, nor am I 100% certain that the internal format of the BSTR is exactly the same as its external/COM format.    Peace! -=- James Please rate this message - let me know if I helped or not!<HR>If you think it costs a lot to do it right, just wait until you find out how much it costs to do it wrong!

SSFILEDLL_API bool __stdcall OpenEmail(BSTR FileName) then the StgOpenStorage fails but if i hard code in the filename L"c:\\email.msg" it works... am i missing some thing Re: Pass a sting to a dll that neads a WCHAR James R. Twine22-Jan-07 4:27 James R. Twine 22-Jan-07 4:27     StgOpenStorage(...) fails when?  At compile time, at run time, and with what error?  Oh, and that should be a const BSTR parameter - you are not going to modify it so it can be constant.    Peace! -=- James Please rate this message - let me know if I helped or not!<HR>If you think it costs a lot to do it right, just wait until you find out how much it costs to do it wrong!

Twine22-Jan-07 5:08 James R. Twine 22-Jan-07 5:08     Examine the string in the debugger (run the DLL under the debugger by specifying the VB application as the executing application), and see if the string looks valid or not.    Peace! -=- James Please rate this message - let me know if I helped or not!<HR>If you think it costs a lot to do it right, just wait until you find out how much it costs to do it wrong!

Twine22-Jan-07 8:09 James R. Twine 22-Jan-07 8:09     You need your debugger configured to show Unicode strings, and that will allow you to see if the value you are seeing can be treated as a BSTR or not.    You can use MessageBoxW(...) to see the value by doing something like this: ::MessageBox<code>W</code>( szString, L"The String", MB_OK );    Pay attention to the "W" in ::MessageBoxW(...).  The call to MessageBoxW will either show the contents of the string (if the string pointer is valid), or will likely crash or show garbage if not.    Peace! -=- James Please rate this message - let me know if I helped or not!<HR>If you think it costs a lot to do it right, just wait until you find out how much it costs to do it wrong!

I found out that bit about setting debuger options and have done it (thanks for the clue) and i have found that szString = 0x0013D374 ??????g so i used the memory tool (learning how to debug, this is simular to pic asm) and found the memory and it says 0013D374 43 3A 5C 5C 65 6D 61 69 6C 2E 6D 73 67 00 00 00 0D C:\\email.msg.... so am i right in thinking it is not getting through... so back to google Many thanks for you help i will "Please rate this message - let me know if I helped or not!" once i have this working, infact even if i don't as you have been very helpfull Re: Pass a sting to a dll that neads a WCHAR [modified] Calvin Streeting22-Jan-07 11:03 Calvin Streeting 22-Jan-07 11:03  Ok finaly got it.... convert 1. Pass Char * from vb to C++ 2. covnvert to BSTR 3. Pass to StgOpenStorage(...) reason vb passed a "8 bit ANSI string" function wanted a "Wide UNICODE string" see below SSFILEDLL_API bool __stdcall OpenEmail(char *FileName) { if (bIsopen == false) { HRESULT hr; hr = MAPIInitialize(NULL); if (FAILED(hr)) return false; hr = OleInitialize(NULL); if (FAILED(hr)) return false; //convert Char * to BSTR BSTR bFileName; int count = 0; count = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, szString , strlen(szString), NULL , 0); if(count > 0) { bFileName = SysAllocStringLen(0, count); MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, szString , strlen(szString), bFileName , count); } //get storage from msg file hr = StgOpenStorage(bFileName , NULL, STGM_READWRITE | STGM_TRANSACTED | STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE, NULL, 0, &pStorage); if (FAILED(hr)) { return false; } else { return true; } } else { return false; } } once again many thanks, it works, it works err ok what was next for your information this code is for http://ssfiledll.sourceforge.net/ -- modified at 19:52 Monday 22nd January, 2007 Dragging A Rectangle Franz Klein22-Jan-07 1:48 Franz Klein 22-Jan-07 1:48  I am looking for VC++ code on how to drag a rectangle.
