Hi,
I am working on a project that requires to generate a report after some testing. The report will include some text, one or two pictures and some tables. The dev environment is Visual C++. Did anyone ever work on similar task before? Is there any controls that I can use? Or is there any articles with detailed intro on how to accomplish it?
Thanks a lot!
David

you mean, like a log file, or you want graphics, statistics, etc...?
have you considered using Crystal Reports then ?
|
|
|
|

The report has to be generated directly from the app, and it could be a Word file or pdf file. The content will inlcude text, graphics and tables.

This is the intended behaiviour: The user is asked to close all files on the stick.
When your program has opened the files by itself, it can also close all files from the stick and try dismounting again.
If you have not opened the files, but another process has, maybe you can quit the processes holding the files open?

I am trying to hook windows messages whenever there is a z-order change. I have been able to do that successfully when the window to be hooked is the active window. It get WM_ACTIVATEAPP and WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING. But no message is received when the window hooked is out of focus.
Please help how can this event be trapped.

how are these files opened ?
in general, the application that is opening a file is intended to close it then !
|
|
|
|
|
These files are opened by manually(with keyboard or mouse). I want to close them programatically

this doesn't mean anything. there forcedly and application that holded the opening. if you double click on a text file, the application that opens the file is notepad (or maybe another if you changed the association).
i think you're facing a wrong problem.

What do you mean by "manually"?
Every function that opens a file has a matching function for closing it.
A successful call to CreateFile() will be followed by a call to CloseHandle().
Others are:
fopen() - fclose()
CFile::Open() - CFile::Close()
You cannot force a file handle to be closed from outside a process that has opened a file. The process that opened the file is also responsible for closing it.

I suspect this "how to close opened files"-thread is connected with the thread above about memory stick.
I get the impression that you want to monitor files that are opened on the memory stick and force them to close when something else happens?
Q1: Is the assumption above correct?
Q2: Why do you want to do it?
Q3: When do you want to do it?
As toxcct said, it seems like you're facing the problem the wrong way.
What you should do is figure out what applications have opened the files on the memory stick, if possible, and send those application a WM_CLOSE message.
To be able to guide you better, you should describe your problem in more detail.
What problem are you trying to solve, described from a user perspective.

Thanks roger,
yes, This is related to memory stick Thread.
Complete problem is as follows...
I am writing an win32 service application which gives access to memory stick in maintenance mode. In normal mode user can't access memory stick. The problem is when switching from maintenance to normal mode with memory stick connected to the system and if any files of memory stick is opened then iam not able disable the memory stick in normal mode. Because extenal process are using files on memory stick. So iam thinking to close all process which are using files on memory stick before disabling. Is my approch is correct??, If correct then how to identify processes which are currently using files on memory stick... Kindly do any help in this
Thanks

If you're in control over the service that grants access to the files on the memory stick, can't you simply register the process handle in the service?
For info about how to close an application or process: see here[^].
The article also contains a code example which is great to have as reference.
The tricky part is to know what processes that are accessing the memory stick when you want to disable it.
Perhaps you can find anything useful in the CP section about processes here[^].
Hope this helps

If you opened the files then use flcolse() or CloseFile() depending on the method you used to open it. If the file belongs to another process, you cannot close it without first getting the open handle to the file, which is near impossible to do.

Hi everyone,
i like to override a ContextMenu as far as the first item of the menu is directly selected.
Background : My application should be controled with mouse, with mouse & keyboard and ONLY keyboard.
So, a right-click on a specific element opens a context-menu and the ENTER-Key for example opens the same context-Menu.
But it's annoying for the user to hit each time a key down to highlight the first item and a second
hit of the ENTER-Key to select this item.
Before i begin to review all the mechanism behind a ContextMenu and manipulate it,
is there somebody who has already changed this "effect" ?
I know that's not "Windows-Standard" but it helps the user to navigate faster 
Thanks

Use CMenu::SetDefaultItem
Or
::SetMenuDefaultItem( ... );
|
|
|
|

Thanks for your fast answer, but it provokes not the effect that i desire.
With CMenu::SetDefaultItem the specific Item is bold, but not selected.
If the context menu is opened and the mouse-pointer isn't over an item, it seems like this :

but i wish to select the first item directly ( so that the first element is directly marked in blue )
