HWND(0) for the first argument - then any windows are parented by the desktop

NULL is usually fine for the directory parameter - it's the 'default directory' (i.e. if you were at the command prompt, it's what would be listed if you did 'dir .'), which is usually not needed if you've specified an absolute path (i.e. drive:\path...\filename.extension or \\server\path...\filename.extension for the file parameter). To get the current directory (if you need to), use the GetCurrentDirectory Win32 function.

What's a ghost window? Confused | :confused:

After searching his messages as you suggested, I came to this conclusion - sometimes there's a very good reason why a question goes unanswered on CP.

The problem is this ghost windows only happened in XP system, not Win2000&98/95. And began at Oct.2001, MSDN started to say something about the ghost window in its doc, but no more infomation to deal with ghost windows. (read the WM_PAINT in MSDN). Thanks

Hi
I'd like to disable refresh (F5) command in CHTMLView and CDHtmlDialog application.

I created mixed class CDHtmlView wich is derived from CHTMLView and has event sinking from CDHtmlDialog.

I try to catch key down message in DHTML_EVENT_MAP:

DHTML_EVENT(DISPID_HTMLELEMENTEVENTS_ONKEYDOWN,NULL,OnAllKeyDown)

But the OnAllKeyDown function is never called.

How to disable page refresh ????

CAxWindow & CWnd

Isn't CAxWindow the ATL equivalent of CWnd? it's just in MFC I was able to call InvokeHelper, but in CAXWindow this isn't available to me.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Wierd GetFileSize problem

When I call GetFileSize in debug mode it returns the correct value of 516. In realease mode it returns some HUGE value

DWORD numBlocks = GetFileSize(hOriginal, NULL)/64;

What could be the problem? I'm a bit stumped.

And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.

Like so

HANDLE hOriginal = ::CreateFile(m_EncryptedFilePath,           
               GENERIC_READ,              
               FILE_SHARE_READ,           
               NULL,                      
               OPEN_EXISTING,             
               FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,     
               NULL);

are you testing hOriginal for NULL ?

if GetFileSize fails, it returns 0xffffffff, which, when divided by 64, will give an apparently huge number.

try calling GetLastError after your GetFileSize call.

Chris, thanks for the help, you certainly pointed me in the right direction. However, the problem was a bit indirect.

m_EncryptedFilePath = "c:\file1.abc".

Now, in debug mode, all is well as I have said. But in release, hOriginal becomes NULL, meaning the file does not exist. (The file does exist).

So I just now tried to change

m_EncryptedFilePath = "C:\\file1.abc"

and lo and behold it works.

Frankly, I don't know why. I'm aware that '\' is an escape sequence but then why does it work for my DEBUG code?

If you have any idea on why this is so (even though the prob itself is solved) I'm all ears.

Regards

Turns out that your guess is correct, I tried the following...

DWORD numBlocks = GetFileSize(NULL, NULL)/64;

and sure enough I got the exact same huge number as before. I'm still stumped as to WHY it's NULL in RELEASE mode but not in DEBUG mode. Could be access rights or permissions.

Problem with WM_CREATE

S van Leent8-Jul-02 2:40

S van Leent

8-Jul-02 2:40

I am creating my own framework (some already know), but there is one problem handling the WM_CREATE message.

This is my code

EWindow::EWindow(EString caption, EControl *parent, UINT menu) : EControl()
{
this->hInstance = hInstance;
WNDCLASSEX wcex;

wcex.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);

wcex.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;
wcex.lpfnWndProc = (WNDPROC)OldControlProc;
wcex.cbClsExtra = 0;
wcex.cbWndExtra = 0;
wcex.hInstance = hInstance;
wcex.hIcon = NULL;
wcex.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
wcex.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW+1);
wcex.lpszMenuName = (LPCTSTR)menu;
wcex.lpszClassName = caption.GetString();
wcex.hIconSm = NULL;

RegisterClassEx(&wcex);

EString wndclassstr = caption + "___";

hControl = CreateWindow(wndclassstr.GetString(), caption.GetString(), WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
CW_USEDEFAULT, 0, CW_USEDEFAULT, 0, parent->GetHandle(), NULL, NULL, NULL);

SetWindowLong(hControl, GWL_USERDATA, reinterpret_cast<long>(this));
}

As you know, the WM_CREATE Message is sent within the CreateWindow function, but this isn't cought at the right place, because I want him to do it object oriented. So, after the SetWindowLong(...) function. Does anyone know how I can fool the system, so the WM_CREATE message is sent after the SetWindowLong(...)

thanks in advance,

I believe MFC solves this problem by using a Windows hook. In fact, if memory serves correctly, it uses WH_CBT for this very reason - WH_CBT gives you a hook into the CreateWindow function (HCBT_CREATEWND) that gets called before the WM_CREATE message is sent.

What description does the exception object contain >?
Did you check the permissions of the remote share ?
It should have permissions to write since the
lock file is created in the same place as the database.
