Onlyl if you are working with pointers because if you are working with objects directly, they are always "valid" (except if you did something really wrong, but anyway, there's no way to test it).

is that pointer to class or simple object!

The whole essence of an object is that it knows about itself. Add an IsValid() method to the class. When that method is invoked, the object can check the validity of each of its members.

Hi, so you mean IsValid() is the user defined method?
I have doubt, can we check the object of CStringList is valid like if(object != NULL)?

Hello everyone,

Could anyone post or let me know where is the definition of ITypeInfo please?

(my purpose is to find its inheritance relationship, i.e. whether inherits from IUnknown or something)

I searched all VC sub-directory and only get (in afxstat_.h),

struct ITypeInfo;
typedef ITypeInfo* LPTYPEINFO;

thanks in advance,
George

HTML Strings mean, I create HTML Tags in the memory and doesn't want to create an HTML file to display them, I need to display them directly onto a browser and i failed to find out a way. Tried doing the same using WebBrowser2 ActiveX control but it required only Html File path as it's input in Navigate and also tried DHtmlEdit but i was able to edit the contents using it, which is not required

If you can instantiate a web browser control, you can load your content via an IPersistStream interface.

OnKeyUp() not get invoked

Anu_Bala14-Feb-08 19:07

14-Feb-08 19:07

Hi,

In My application,in view window i have made like this..

1.Index Page
2.Introduction
3.Summary..
Like this. And also i have shortcut keys for each page as shift-1,shift-2...

And also i can move to next page by using PageDown. And also i can press the second option(2.Introduction) by mouse and i directly move to the second page.
My actual problem...
If i use pagedown and move to next page (for eg:Introduction page)...Now if i press shift-1,it directly go to Index page.
If i use mouse and move to another page,and then if i press shift-1 it does not go to index page.I mean it does not go to OnKeyUp() function. Why this problem..

Actually i use Glg.dll for this view.
I didnot use on LButtonClick() for mouse action. glg.dll has function for this.
if( gpGView->glg_animation[SCHEPAGENO].m_hWnd )
{
gpGView->glg_animation[SCHEPAGENO].ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
SCHEPAGENO = iPanNo - 1;
if(SCHEPAGENO -> giGraphicCnt)
SCHEPAGENO = giGraphicCnt;
}
gpVIew is my view class object.
SCHEPAGENO is page number.
Graphiccnt is total no of pages.

Are u using MFC SDI architecture?

U have a view class and u are creating three pages in that view. The View is the parent for the three pages. Am i right?

Plz give some more deatils regarding the application,

Prasanth M V

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
