Hey all,
I am trying to create a dialog bar that contains a single track bar control. My problem comes with determining the proper size of the dialog bar so that it will show the entire track bar without having a bunch of extra space. Is there a way to determine the area needed to display the track bar, especially if I were to make the tick marks user selectable?
The track bar control has the TBM_GETCHANNELRECT and TBM_GETTHUMBRECT messages to get the area of the channel and thumb components of the control, but it does not have a way, that I know of, of getting the area needed for the entire control. I could take the channel rect and OR it with the thumb rect to get close, but I was wondering if there was a better way.

Have you looked at GetSystemMetrics()?

I had, as well as at SystemParametersInfo, but I could not find what I was looking for. With GetSystemMetrics can you tell me which index (SM_) value you had in mind?

See if SM_CXHSCROLL, SM_CYHSCROLL, SM_CXVSCROLL, and SM_CYVSCROLL produce anything useful. This is just a guess on my part, PJ.

No good, those are only useful for scroll bars, not track bars. Thanks anyway.

My bad. I thought track bar and scroll bar were the same thing. I now see that you are referring to a "slider control." Can you get the dimensions of the dialog bar, and then add a few to those dimensions during the creation of the track bar?

How can I determine the real path of certain special directories:
- My Documents
- Recycle bin

The same way you handle any window messages (assuming you're using MFC doc/view)
afx_msg void OnNcLButtonUp(UINT nHitTest, CPoint point);
ON_WM_NCLBUTTONUP()
void CMyWndClass::OnNcLButtonUp(UINT nHitTest, CPoint point)
{
baseclass::OnNcLButtonUp(nHitTest, point);
... do stuff...
}

thanks for ur reply,
sorry for my delay in giving this reply.
I had done the same what you given in your reply. But i didn't get the result. WM_NCLBUTTONUP message was not called when my mouse up on the caption bar of my window.
please help me.. urgent

I haven't tested this, but it's possible the default WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN message handler
is capturing the mouse and sitting in a modal loop until the WM_NCLBUTTONUP is
received. This would be for the default window dragging.
You may have to do the same.
Responding to just the WM_NCLBUTTONUP message is unique. What are you wanting to
do when you receive that message? Maybe there's a simpler alternative.

It looks like you're either missing a file, or the compiler can't find it. Is there a DSplit.rc2 file in a res directory within your project's directory? If not, either find the file or comment out the #include line and see what happens.

Hi, I am designing c++/MFC plugins for a certain CNC machine tool control system. I use (and have to use for the application VS2003, and VC++/MFC).
I am Brand new, and trying to be "self taught", but there really is no step by step beginners books (at least that I found), that teach VS2003 and VC++/MFC.
Since I am stuggling badly, would anyone perhaps around the Knoxville, TN area be willing to teach, perhaps private tutoring, I will pay if I can afford you for your time.
If it is a posibility for you could you email me at, replace the "AT" with @.

thanks in advance,

I need a stream socket to listen other connects. So,I have to create a socket using such code:
if(m_listenSock.Create())
{
SOCKET soc=m_listenSock.m_hSocket;
BOOL ret= m_listenSock.Listen(10);
}
that,m_listenSock is a member of a class,and the socket also do not go out its scope. But after the codes performed I use "netstat -a" in the cmd line could not find the new listen port in the list.And other socket also could not connect to such socket;
But when I change it to
if(m_listenSock.Create())
{
SOCKET soc=m_listenSock.m_hSocket;
m_listenSock.Close();
if(m_listenSock.Create(soc))
m_listenSock.Listen(10);
}
as a result,the new port would be listed in the list.and other socket can also connect to the new socket.
And if I only could do such work using the second way,the new problem will occur,i.e. if when the socket was closed and before created using the old port but there is another process or thread create a new socket with the same port,the code: m_listenSock.Create(soc) would fail or create using another avalid port!It is not what I want to.
How to resolve such problem?
Thanks.
GOOD LUCK.

There is no "strange problem about socket". It works the way you code it to work.
It looks like you're blindly attempting to do something you don't know much about.
You need to choose a port for your socket to listen on.
A SOCKET is not a port number.
