Re: On selection a word in CEdit, which messages windows return?

The Spy tool does not show what messages windows return on any control on a dialog,
it shows only window's messages,
is there a tool that i can see window's controls messages?

I always keep a handy link to the control library documentation[^] (in
my online docs).

For each common control, there's a list of the messages and notifications.
For most controls, there's descriptions of how the control handles windows
messages as well.

For example, here's Edit Controls[^]

I wish I had them all memorized Smile | :)

can i use like this?

<br />
BOOL CGetSelectedIETextDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) 	<br />
{<br />
if (pMsg->hwnd == GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1)->GetSafeHwnd() && pMsg->message == EN_CHANGE )<br />
{<br />
// some code <br />
}<br />
	return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);<br />
}<br />

or pMsg->message must be windows message, like WM_something?

Yes. Edit control notifications are sent in WM_COMMAND messages.

When using MFC, I recommend using MFC event handling whenever possible.
That's a big benefit of MFC Smile | :)

You should generally only need to override
PreTranslateMessage() in special circumstances, when you absolutely have to
catch a message before it gets dispatched through MFC's message handling.

// add this to the class' message map
ON_EN_CHANGE(IDC_EDIT1, OnEditCtrlChange)
...
// add a handler method
void CGetSelectedIETextDlg::OnEditCtrlChange() 
{
    // do something when edit control text changes
}

I don't think EN_CHANGE is going to get sent when text is selected.
I could be wrong.

Hello, I found out that it must be like this,
thanks for everyone

	if (pMsg->hwnd == GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1)->GetSafeHwnd() && pMsg->message == EN_KILLFOCUS  )<br />
	{<br />
<br />
<br />
// EN_CHANGE<br />
	int mm,nn;<br />
	CEdit *myedit;<br />
	CString sBuff;<br />
	myedit = (CEdit*)GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1);<br />
	myedit->GetSel(mm, nn); <br />
	myedit->GetWindowText(sBuff);<br />
	sBuff = sBuff.Mid(mm, nn - mm);<br />
	AfxMessage(sBuff)<br />
}<br />

I guess as long as you get the desired result...

I just thought I'd mention...

EN_KILLFOCUS == WM_MOUSEMOVE == 0x0200

That means you're actually doing your processing (shown) on every
WM_MOUSEMOVE message.

Again, EN_xxx notifications come wrapped in WM_COMMAND messages.
They aren't messages themselves.

I also still wonder why bother using MFC if you're processing all messages
in PreTranslateMessage()...

I am currently writing a downloading application and I was wondering if anyone had come accross a simple example of monitoring the user apps connection to the network.

I am looking to show something like the bandwidth monitor in limewire in the bottom left corner of their download window.

Any help would be fantastic, I am writing my app in Visual C++.

Kind Regards.

I have no idea what the limewire thing is or does, but if it's your application and you want to know what download rate you are getting and you have the number of bytes you received and the length of time to receive them then..... or am I missing something?

Re: Bandwidth Monitor

Alisdair Piercy1-Nov-07 6:10

Yeah I am already doing this calculation to see the download rate, the question I am looking into is to see what the actuall bandwidth connection is like.

E.G.

If the network is 10 Mbps connection how much of that does the app actually have etc to show current network connection strength.

Yes, it is a C++/MFC application. There used to be an option to turn on Exception handling in the project file, but I can't find it.

last time,one administrator of this forum tell me study C++ need to work by myself.i know.....and i can taste your angry gas.but some problem need to be solved,although it is a little problem.also i can't find a answer in the MSDN.
if you don't have time,please don't be care at me.if someone have love and time,please help me.the question is :
((WORD)(((BYTE)(a)) | ((WORD)((BYTE)(b))) << 8)) how do i understand it?

putting the byte b in msb and a in lsb of a word.
is not it?

The best way to understand code is usually to break it into smaller parts until they're simple enough to understand.

Let's see

<br />
( (WORD) ( <br />
( (BYTE)(a) ) | ( (WORD) ( (BYTE)(b) ) ) << 8 <br />
) ) <br />

which is like ((WORD)( x )) meaning cast x to a WORD (usually 2 byte integer type, check with sizeof(WORD); )
where x is
y | z << 8
where y is (a) cast to a BYTE (usually 8 bit unsigned) and z is b cast to a BYTE and then cast to a WORD.
Basically pair up the brakets and break down the expression into its parts, good luck Smile | :)

Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.
