Make the CDlg1 object a member of CMainDialog, rather than a local variable. Then the calls to Attach() and FromHandlePermanent() can go away.

VC++2005 : how do I enable the xp look in my app?

Is the only way available the one that implies to create a manifest?

If so, I'll check for that on the msdn, but I hope that there will be an easier/faster way...

As always thank you in advance.

If this is an MFC app, look at the bottom of stdafx.h and you find

#ifdef UNICODE
...
...
#endif

Just delete the #ifdef line and the associated #endif, but leave everything in between.

For some reason, the default only enables the V6 Common Controls if UNICODE is defined.

Hope that helps.

I was wondering if there is a tool/utility that would allow me to convert (back-port) a Visual C++ .NET 2003 project (.sln MFC Application) back to Visual C++ 6 (.dsw).

Thanks

Bitmap Copying

Ok, so the whole transition to VC from BCB is making my head ache, so I've come here in the hopes of solving an issue.

I have an array of HBITMAP, that contain images of letters.
HBITMAP m_pBitmap[100];

This array is populated at run-time, loading in each bitmap.

CString filename;<br />
for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)<br />
{<br />
    filename.Format(_T("\\Hard Disk\\ATMT\\Aspects\\Ascii%d.bmp"), (i + 32));<br />
    m_pBitmap[i] = SHLoadDIBitmap(filename);<br />
}

On my form, I have placed a CBitmap, and assigned it a Static name for reference.

What I want to be able to do, is copy some of the array bitmaps, into various locations on the form bitmap.

This is where I'm stumbling around trying to come to terms with CDCs, DIBs, BitBlt, CopyRect, etc etc

I know how to change one of the array to a CBitmap for usage:

CBitmap *bitmap = new CBitmap;<br />
BOOL bSuccess = bitmap->Attach(m_pBitmap[50]);

But I can't work out how to place the array image onto the target.
I can't seem to get a DC of the form Static Image (.GetDC( ) doesn't exist).

So, can someone please put me on track here?

Sorting CListCtrl with LVS_OWNERDATA property?

Hello comunity,
need help to sort a CListCtrl with this LVS_OWNERDATA property!
Without this works fine, ok, now i needed to change to LVS_OWNERDATA
and make sorting function for that, i save all data to an
CObject derived class and push back to an vektor!
Now when i click on some column i have to sort this list, ascending or descending!
But ths fails because the CListCtrl own function check if this is set: LVS_OWNDERDATA!
Here is problem:

_AFXCMN_INLINE BOOL CListCtrl::SortItems(PFNLVCOMPARE pfnCompare, DWORD dwData)
	{ ASSERT(::IsWindow(m_hWnd)); ASSERT((GetStyle() & LVS_OWNERDATA)==0); return (BOOL) ::SendMessage(m_hWnd, LVM_SORTITEMS, dwData, (LPARAM)pfnCompare); }

This is the original function that checks for LVS_OWNERDATA property!
My idea is to use my vector and sort them, and refresh this control with new sorted data from vektor!
Any idea to do this?

thanks for any help!

You don't have to call CListCtrl::SortItems()
Just sort your vector (probably some data-structure you have on RAM) and then call CListCtrl::RedrawWindow() - This will cause Windows to re-call your display function for each visible item and now that your vector is sorted ...

HELP! About CoUninitialize()

when I used the function "::CoUninitialize(NULL,COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED);" in VC6,there were two errors like here:

: is not a member of '`global namespace''<br />
: error C2065: 'CoInitializeEx' : undeclared identifier

even though I import ole32.lib and include objbase.h

somebody would tell me,why?Thanks

CoUninitialize(void);
CoUninitializeEx(Null, dwCoInit);

just make sure you put the Ex on if you want the parameters.
that might be the solution.

You are using CoInitializeEx, isn't it?

Define _WIN32_WINNT as following in your header file.

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0400

Yes,you are right.In fact I used like this:

but if I define _WIN32_WINNT as you pointed out.The problem remaian there with no change.

TreeView_GetItem() macro problem

25-Apr-07 2:52

hi,
I am trying out a win32 application which will automate some operations (like click on Next button on a window).

My issue is a treeview. I want to get the text of a node inside the treeview. For that I am using the following code.

//**************************************

HTREEITEM hRoot = TreeView_GetRoot(hwnd);

HTREEITEM hChild;
HTREEITEM hNextItem;

if (hRoot == NULL)
{
MessageBox(NULL, "Error: Problem with tree view ", "Error", 0);
}
else
{
hChild= TreeView_GetNextItem(hwnd,hRoot,TVGN_CHILD);
hNextItem= TreeView_GetNextItem(hwnd,hChild, TVGN_NEXT);
}
//TreeView_SelectItem(hwnd,hChild); TreeView_SelectItem(hwnd,hNextItem);

char name[100];
TVITEM myItem;
myItem.mask=TVIF_TEXT|TVIF_HANDLE;
myItem.hItem=hNextItem;
myItem.pszText =name;
myItem.cchTextMax =99;

TreeView_GetItem(hwnd,&myItem);

//::SendMessage(hwnd,WM_GETTEXT,(WPARAM) 0,(LPARAM)myItem.pszText);

MessageBox(NULL, name, "Automation", 0);
//*************************************

But it is not retreiving the text. It will do upto selecting the node, But GetItem function is failing.
Pls give a solution

Thanks in advance.

How you are verifying this ?

Doesn't myItem.pszText gives you text you wanted ?

Try this code,

TVITEM myItem;
myItem.mask=TVIF_TEXT ;//dont use TVIF_HANDLE
myItem.hItem = hNextItem;
myItem.pszText = name;
