The best way to find the answer to this is just to try it and see. Set a breakpoint in the handler for EN_KILLFOCUS and PSN_KILLACTIVE to see which is called first.

Larry Mills Sr wrote:
Also Must you always have to have an ON_EN_SETFOCUS and an ON_EN_KILLFOCUS or can you just have an ON_EN_KILLFOCUS function.

That depends on what you want to be notified of. If you only have a handler for the ON_EN_KILLFOCUS message, you will not know when the associated control gains focus.

Thank you very much for all of your help. I tried the code and it works great in the ON_EN_KILLFOCUS function. I've been trying to solve this problem for 3 weeks.
Thanks again for your help.

So... I have this little MFC project that I keep in the VS solution
I've had open on my desktop for the past several years.

With this app, I test any snippets of code before I post them here
so I know they work.

The state of the WM_CTLCOLORxxx handlers is in disarray...clicking the OK
button causes many things to happen behind the scenes including socket connections,
ftp connections, assorted bitmap transformations using gdi and gdi+, etc.

After testing act_x's code (see post below), I realized how beautiful the user
interface is getting in this dialog based app.

The Vista Aero look really is the icing on the cake.

Here it is... The money shot[^]

I think it's ready to ship!

_beginthread, can we create a thread in a class? [modified]

Hello,
I have a class which i created, it calculates some mathematical functions, Can i use or create "_beginthread" in the class?

i tried to do it, but i got this error:
error C2664: '_beginthread' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'void (void *)' to 'void (__cdecl *)(void *)'

class CMaClasse<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
 void FoncAppnt(void* args);<br />
 void FoncApp(void* arg);<br />
};<br />

Sure. But, if your thread proc is a class method, that method needs to be static...

class CMaClasse<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
 void FoncAppnt(void* args);<br />
static void FoncApp(void* arg);<br />
};<br />
 <br />
void CMaClasse::FoncAppnt(void* args)<br />
{<br />
_beginthread(&

CMaClasse::

FoncApp,0,(void*)a); <br />
}<br />
 <br />
 <br />
void CMaClasse::FoncApp(void* arg)<br />
{<br />
 //...<br />
}

A static method can only access static class members.

To get around this, typically a pointer to an object of the class is passed
to the thread proc. Then the thread proc can use that pointer to access
non static members of the class.

Here's an example (my changes are in red)...

class CMaClasse
{
   <font color="Red">void *pThreadArgs;</font>
public:
   void FoncAppnt(void* args);
   static void FoncApp(void* arg);
};

void CMaClasse::FoncAppnt(void* args)
{
   <font color="Red">pThreadArgs = args;</font>

   _beginthread(&CMaClasse::FoncApp,0,<font color="Red">this</font>);
}


void CMaClasse::FoncApp(void* arg)
{
<font color="Red">   // The passed param is a CMacClasse pointer
   CMaClasse *pThis = (CMaClasse *)arg;

   // example of accessing a class member
   pThis->pThreadArgs->...</font>

   //...
}

Just to explain this behavior see: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/pointers-to-members.html.
Briefly, the type of pointer-to-member-function is different from pointer-to-function .There is not cast (new in VC++2005).

Hi All,
I'm sure that someone has had this problem before. I only wanted to reorganize the constants a little bit when I decided to compile again and boom! ... the famous RC2135 while compiling resources. I installed SP1 but it's still there. I can't compile my project anymore.

I really appreciate any help.

I have an input box that a user can enter in 4 characters like 1.34. I need to check if there is a decimal in the input string and truncate everything after the tenth place. Is there a C/C++ function that I can use for this? Thanks

Using "Add memmer variable wizard", add a variable (Category=value) and set ‘Max chars’ to n.
Or, DDV_MaxChars(pDX, yourVar, 10);

Check out strchr(), or string::find(), or CString::Find().

Is there a C/C++ funciton that will remove a character from a string? I want to remove the decimal from the input string. If someone enter 1.23, I want to use only 1.2, remove the decimal making it 12.

I am trying to use the MS sample in my code and and cannot get it to add an other nodes other than the first node .

<br />
// Gain a pointer to our tree control<br />
<br />
CTreeCtrl* pCtrl = (CTreeCtrl*) GetDlgItem(IDC_TREE1);<br />
ASSERT(pCtrl != NULL);<br />
<br />
// Insert a root item using the structure. We must<br />
// initialize a TVINSERTSTRUCT structure and pass its<br />
// address to the call. <br />
<br />
TVINSERTSTRUCT tvInsert;<br />
tvInsert.hParent = NULL;<br />
tvInsert.hInsertAfter = NULL;<br />
tvInsert.item.mask = TVIF_TEXT;<br />
tvInsert.item.pszText = _T("United States");<br />
<br />
HTREEITEM hCountry = pCtrl->InsertItem(&tvInsert);<br />
<br />
// Insert subitems of that root. Pennsylvania is<br />
// a state in the United States, so its item will be a child<br />
// of the United States item. We won't set any image or states,<br />
// so we supply only the TVIF_TEXT mask flag. This<br />
// override provides nearly complete control over the<br />
// insertion operation without the tedium of initializing<br />
// a structure. If you're going to add lots of items<br />

// as it affords you a performance win by allowing you<br />
// to initialize some fields of the structure only once,<br />
// outside of your insertion loop.<br />
<br />
HTREEITEM hPA = pCtrl->InsertItem(TVIF_TEXT,<br />
   _T("Pennsylvania"), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, hCountry, NULL);<br />
<br />
// Insert the "Washington" item and assure that it is<br />
// inserted after the "Pennsylvania" item. This override is <br />
// more appropriate for conveniently inserting items with <br />
// images.<br />
<br />
HTREEITEM hWA = pCtrl->InsertItem(_T("Washington"),<br />
   0, 0, hCountry, hPA);<br />
<br />
// We'll add some cities under each of the states.<br />
// The override used here is most appropriate<br />
// for inserting text-only items.<br />
<br />
pCtrl->InsertItem(_T("Pittsburgh"), hPA, TVI_SORT);<br />
pCtrl->InsertItem(_T("Harrisburg"), hPA, TVI_SORT);<br />
pCtrl->InsertItem(_T("Altoona"), hPA, TVI_SORT);<br />
<br />
