Re: Microsoft Outlook: &quot;A Program is trying to send email..&quot;

23-Jan-07 2:59

Note the following remarks from MSDN:

If the button is in a dialog box and the dialog box is not active, the BM_CLICK
message might fail. To ensure success in this situation, call the SetActiveWindow
function to activate the dialog box before sending the BM_CLICK message to the button.

Note that I have had limited success is using the BM_CLICK message, but often do well using BN_CLICKED - which is a good old fashioned WM_COMMAND based notification.

Peace!

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately it does not work even when I add SetActiveWindow(hWnd); to the code or replaced BM_CLICK with BN_CLICKED, the Postmessage just do not have any effect Frown | :(

You cannot just replace BM_CLICK with BN_CLICKED - you have to use WM_COMMAND as the message, the button's HWND as the LPARAM and the button's dialog control ID and BN_CLICKED as the WPARAM, wrapped into a WORD value. Look up the BN_CLICKED notification in MSDN for more information.

Peace!

Sorry my mistake, should ofcourse have checked the manual before Smile | :)

. But even when trying "SendMessage(hWnd, WM_COMMAND, MAKELONG(0x12A6, BN_CLICKED), (LPARAM)YesButton);" which should be the right way to send the message the Sendmessage/Postmessage has no effect on the button (with ActiviteWindow as hWnd). Anyone has more ideas?

I recently ran into this same problem but for entirely different reasons. I was using this article's[^] code for doing unattended sending of email. After a new XP image was placed on the PC, this program began to fail in a very unpredictable manner. Instead of getting a new image installed which unfortunately can take a lot of time here, I installed a very old version of the program that used simple MAPI and worked just fine with Outlook 97!. The very first time the program got invoked and went to send out about a dozen emails, up popped this dialog. Did I mention that this PC was running unattended Smile | :)

Man was I pissed. Anyways, I reverted back to Noel's code and using it instead, does not cause that dialog to come up. If you are presently using something like simple MAPI, you should be able to convert to it easily.

Oki, have gotten around the warning dialogue using this class. But the fact that the button still not can be presses is bugging me. Must be a way to press it since there are comercial products out there that does just what I wanted to do, more ideas please Smile | :)

In order to acheive 1Byte alignment,try the following :

#pragma pack (1)
class A
{
   int a;
   char b;
};
#pragma pack (1)

this shouldn't be done unless you are on a very specific requierement (and plateform).
if you have to save some memory from the object size, better rearrange the members order first.

Hi toxcct ,

It's correct , but from his question , i think that he ment that the data
should be 1Byte aligned.

It is not always possible (for example if you got an ICD of another
machine and you need to "Speek" with the same language of that machine -
you can't change the members order D'Oh! | :doh:

).

Undo accelerator in a Dialog in a Document application

It is called padding - the size of the structure is padded with empty space to optimize its access. A 32-bit system moves data in 32-bit chunks faster than data that is not sized at 32-bits.

Note tha packing may also impact the size of the structure - structure members are normally aligned in order to optimize their access (non-aligned access is allowed x86 architecture, but it takes a performance hit). 32-bit values are aligned to start at a 32-bit boundary, 16-bit values are aligned to a 16-bit boundary, etc. by moving the start of the structure in memory so that it lies on its natural boundary (32-bit boundary, for example).

struct STest
{
    DWORD   m_dwValue;
    char    m_cValue;
};
struct STest2
{
    DWORD   m_dwValue;
    char    m_cValue;
    int     m_iValue;
};
struct STest3
{
    DWORD   m_dwValue;
    short   m_siValue;
    char    m_cValue;
};

The sizes of the structures (with default 32-bit padding) are 8, 12 and 8 bytes, respectively, and are layed out in memory as follows:

FF FF FF FF 61 <code>CC CC CC</code>
FF FF FF FF 61 <code>CC CC CC</code> 11 00 00 00
FF FF FF FF 12 34 7A <code>CC</code>

   Bolded bytes are the padding/packing bytes.

   When laying out the order of members in a structure, if you place them so that they are more likely to fall on their natural alignment, you can reduce the footprint of the structure.

   You may have to force the packing of a structure when sharing serialized (saved to some medium) data between two different applications/systems, like when sending data over a socket to a server - both systems have to agree on the packing/padding of the data in order to read it correctly.

   Peace!

Hello, I have a problem that I simply can't solve on my own.

Background:
I have a single document MFC application where the user may doubleclick on a piece of text and thereby call forth a dialog window for editing the text. That text is displayed in a Static text box. If I make a change to the text I can use Ctrl+Z or Ctrl+Y to Undo/Redo and that is great but some users do not know all short-commands so I also want to make an Undo button and a Redo button to do the exact same things. Outside the dialog in my application the accelerators Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y are tied to my own-defined Undo/Redo functions that are specific to my application so how do I find out what events the Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y accelerators in the dialog triggers?

Problem:
Since Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y works in my dialog although they are not defined in my IDR_MAINFRAME Accelerators they must obviously be connected to functions that are specific for performing Undo and Redo in a Dialog window. How do I connect those functions to two Undo Redo buttons as well?

Visual Studio version:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2003

   The standard edit control has its undo/redo functionality built it, just as the Rich Edit control does - you do not really have to do anything to and you get it for free.

   You can implement the button handlers so that they send EM_UNDO messages to the edit control. Lookup the EM_UNDO message for more details.

   Peace!

a user of the application, or another developper that will have to use your code, but whom you want to hide the implementation details ?
