Hi!
I'm trying to make all DropDown-Menus transparent, using a WH_CBT hook.
Unfortunately it does not work  ...
Here is the Hookprocedure:
<br />
LRESULT CALLBACK TransWindowProc(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)<br />
{<br />
if (nCode < 0)<br />
return CallNextHookEx(g_hTransHook, nCode, wParam, lParam);<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
if (nCode == HCBT_CREATEWND)<br />
{<br />
<br />
HWND handle = (HWND)wParam;<br />
<br />
LPWSTR szClass = new WCHAR[128];<br />
GetClassName(handle, szClass, 127);<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
if (lstrcmpi(szClass, TEXT("#32768")) == 0)<br />
{<br />
<br />
SetWindowLong(handle, GWL_EXSTYLE, GetWindowLong(handle, GWL_EXSTYLE) | WS_EX_LAYERED);<br />
SetLayeredWindowAttributes(handle, 0, 200, LWA_ALPHA);<br />
<br />
}<br />
}<br />
return CallNextHookEx(g_hTransHook, nCode, wParam, lParam);<br />
}<br />
The hook itself is in a dll and is installed correctly. The if-statement is entered, but no transparency is set.
Can anybody please help  ?

Hi,
I was trying to find some way to change a const value using pointers (just for the hell of it).
I guessed const is a compile time restriction and not a runtime one.
I came across this.
The code compiles and runs without any error.
It displays 12 20, even though the code suggests p and y must be having a value of 20.
I am surely missing something here. Please help.
<br />
void main()<br />
{ <br />
int *px;<br />
const int p = 12;<br />
px = (int *)&p;<br />
*px = 20;<br />
int y = p;<br />
cout << y << " " << *px; <br />
}
Then I tried this.
I made p a global variable. This one compiles without any error or warnings(highest level).
However throws access violation on *px = 20; at runtime! This is against my (wrong?) understanding of const.
Please can someone throw some light on this issue?
<br />
const int p = 12;<br />
void main()<br />
{ <br />
int *px; <br />
px = (int *)&p;<br />
*px = 20;<br />
int y = p;<br />
cout << y << " " << *px; <br />
}<br />
I used MSVS 6.0 compiler.

I have a (very loose) theory, but words escape me at the moment. Making a variable const only tells the compiler to not allow reassignment of p. The data (of p) is not in a special location, it can still be altered by px (to 20). When you printed the value of p in the first example, even though it had been changed indirectly by px, the compiler knew that it was a const and thus returned its original, read-only value.
That's as bad of a description as I can give you at this point.

Hi David,
Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it.
Definitely compiler is playing some role here. I will check the assembly code that's generated.
I am wondering how the runtime error is generated in the second part of my problem.
Thanks

In the second case the compiler has almost certainly placed p into a readonly segment as it's a global constant. I know MSVC 6 does this with strings so it's not really a great surprise it does it with an int.
In the first case I would speculate that you're falling foul of optimization. Try turning off all optimization in you compiler/project settings and see if it still occurs. I would certainly class that as a compiler bug though, not the only one in VC6 by a long chalk

I turned off optimization and the misbehaviour still stands (even on VS2008 compiler).

spot on Matthew!
I did a disassembly and ds:dword_4110E8 is indeed in .rdata and hence the error.
the first issue, I am still getting it even with optimization off.

void main()<br />
{ <br />
int *px;<br />
const int p = 99;<br />
px = (int *)&p;<br />
*px = 77;<br />
int y = p;<br />
}<br />
I did a disassembly of the above (VS 6 debug disassembly window) and this is what I found.
bit strange, I didnt expect the compiler to replace every instance of 'p' with its value like a #define.
I mean, I expected
<br />
0040127E mov dword ptr [ebp-0Ch],dword ptr [ebp-8] <br />
instead of
<br />
0040127E mov dword ptr [ebp-0Ch],63h<br />
complete disassembly
<br />
00401268 mov dword ptr [ebp-8],63h<br />
16: px = (int *)&p;<br />
0040126F lea eax,[ebp-8]<br />
00401272 mov dword ptr [ebp-4],eax<br />
17: *px = 77;<br />
00401275 mov ecx,dword ptr [ebp-4]<br />
00401278 mov dword ptr [ecx],4Dh<br />

Did you add cdll.lib to your project?

yes, after add cdll.lib in the project>settings...
I am getting an error saying that cannot open cdll.lib

Is this a linker error?

So does cdll.lib exist, and have you specified the correct path to it? When the linker says it cannot find a file, that's the place to start looking.

Please read the posting guidelines at the top of the forum, especially the bit about including code in pre tags, so we can see what files you are including.
But as was said, pay appears to be in a DLL, so you'll need to add (eg) CDLL.lib into your file (look at linker options).
Iain.
Plz sir... CPallini CPallini abuz drugz, plz plz help urgent.

Hi to all,
I have some questions regarding DirectShow programming in VC++,
1. How to do MultiGraph Programming ?
I got a "GMFBridge" source code, but its gives compiling error. And I didn't understand the code.
2. Is there any alternative for "MPEG-2 Multicast Receiver" filter ?
Thanks in Advance.

Hello guys,
I've one problem.
Suppose user opens any .txt,.doc,.pdf file in local PC.
I want to read the attributes of the files like moddified,created,close.
How is this can be done with VC.
Thanks to all of you in Advance.

Have you tried GetFileAttributes()?

Thanks for the co-operation friends,
But I want to find out if the file is
closed or not without opening the file.
Because in my application after user downloads the file I am going to
open that file using ShellExecute.I'll upload this file on the server
when the file is closed by the user.
How can I do this?
Once again thanks for the reply.

Extremely Sorry,
I was my mistake.
I was thinking that it might give me that whether the file is opened or not.
Thanks for the reply.
But what about the solution?

Try opening the file in exclusive mode. If it fails, you'll know that it is open elsewhere.

Hi David,
For testing pupose,
I've set the Timer and in the event of the timer I am trying to open the file.
I've run the application after manually openning the file.
After opening the file when I run the application it give me the message
of the file is opened.But when I close the file manually it doesn't give
the message of file is closed and I am getting the same message every
timer irrespective of the file is opened or not.Following is the code.
<br />
void CFilesDlg::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent) <br />
{<br />
<br />
CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent);<br />
<br />
CFile ob;<br />
BOOL res;<br />
CFileException ex;<br />
res=ob.Open("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Rigel\\Desktop\\SerialNumbers.txt",CFile::modeRead | CFile::shareExclusive, &ex);<br />
if (!res)<br />
{<br />
<br />
TCHAR szError[1024];<br />
ex.GetErrorMessage(szError, 1024);<br />
MessageBox("The File is Closed");<br />
KillTimer(ID_TIMER1);<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
MessageBox("The File is opened");<br />
}<br />
}<br />
