I tested CCJButton, but find nothing special,
even worse when CButton is replaced with CCJButton, I move the mouse onto the button, the text is disappeard.

I think CJ60Lib in my project is not working properly.
Is there any document or examples?

Hi All,

After inserting a item is Explorer's shell, one must call DrawMenuItem( hWnd ) to to update the menu. However, the code which inserts the menu item does not receive an hwnd. Any ideas how to obtain the hWnd from an hMenu? Below is the context which DrawMenuBar() would have.

Jeff

HRESULT CTest::QueryContextMenu( HMENU hmenu, UINT uMenuIndex,
                       UINT uidFirstCmd, UINT uidLastCmd, UINT uFlags )
{
    uidLastCmd; // Suppress Warning C4100
    
    // If the flags include CMF_DEFAULTONLY then we shouldn't do anything.
    if( uFlags & CMF_DEFAULTONLY )
        { return MAKE_HRESULT ( SEVERITY_SUCCESS, FACILITY_NULL, 0 ); }

    // Count exist somewhere...
    if( m_count > 1 )
    {
        InsertMenu( hmenu, uMenuIndex, MF_BYPOSITION,
                    uidFirstCmd, _T("String 1") );
    }
    else
    {
        InsertMenu( hmenu, uMenuIndex, MF_BYPOSITION,
                    uidFirstCmd, _T("String 2") );
    }

    HWND hwnd = null;
    DrawMenuBar( hwnd );

    return MAKE_HRESULT( SEVERITY_SUCCESS, FACILITY_NULL, 1 );
}

An old VC++ thread yielded this:

You can use FindWindow("#32768", NULL);
(eg on WM_INITMENUPOPUP)

   IMHO, the belief here is that you will be able to find the active Menu's window by that special ID.

   Good luck!

   Peace!

Synchronising Computerson a Small Network

Is anyone aware of some software ideas to keep a small number of computers (e.g. 12) synchronised Real Time Clock Wise.

   Depending on the resolution and/or error range required, you could modify an NTP service to provide higher resolution time values, and have the client's hit it every so often to keep in sync.

   If you need something really closer to Real-Time, there is a special kind of shared memory system that runs on a network using a special kind of NIC (I do not remember the name of the hardware/system). When this memory area is changed by one system, all other systems get an event. This is a pretty fast system, but might be overkill for you.

   Peace!

Dont Quite understand Modifying NTP Services.

I have 6 Machines which over a week drift some 6 minutes apart. Nothing to cause a Problem as such, just a bit of a nuisance. I just wondered, has anyone a ready made piece of code you run in the scheduler, and which synchronises the clock in each machine with the Designated Timekeeper. It does not do an awfull lot for Absolute Time, but at least there's only one to adjust.

   Windows XP (and 2000 I believe, perhaps even NT 4.0) support syncronizing time from a central server. You can even have them sync-up using a NIST (ITS) time source. See Here[^] for a PDF with information on how to configure Windows to use NIST ITS servers as a time source.

   If you double-click on the clock on your taskbar or select "adjust date/time", you can specify an Internet time source on the Internet Time tab. The server time.windows.com is one server you can use.

   Peace!

Hi Developers,

I have to write an application where i could link keys with information so that i could use key to get the linked information. Like student name could act as a key and their grades could be information. So if i enter student name i should get his grades. Its like a map class basically. I dont have to use map class, i have to write my own class. So could anyone shed some light like what all would be required to get myself started. I mean what all classes would i be needing and etc I need to get on with this asap.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Creating a CPropertySheet-based app

Hi,

I haven't been able to find anything like this, so I hope I'm not repeating a previous posting.

I'd like to create a CPropertySheet-based application. To start with, I just created a standard dialog-based application and I am trying to hack it around so that it can use CPropertySheet instead of CDialog. It compiles OK, but I'm having run-time problems.

Can anyone give some pointers and details on how to do this? Or point to a posting that had some pointers and details? Or maybe this isn't the best way to do it?

Eventually, I'd like to write my own custom Application Wizard that could be used to auto-generate this.

I'm using Windows XP Pro and Visual Studio 2003 SP1.

Thanks in advance.

What kind of runtime problems are you having?

Are you constructing and adding pages to the sheet properly before
calling Create() or DoModal()?

Oh, it probably is something silly like that. I need to investigate more.

Thanks for the pointers.

Have you messed with (i.e., deleted, renamed) any of your project's menus?

Have you looked in any of MFC's DOC*.CPP files to see what condition causes the AFX_IDP_FAILED_TO_CREATE_DOC message to be displayed?
