I'm writing MFC dialog based application.
I changes the background's color from the default Grey one.
How can I change also the menu color? I can't find how to do it.
Thanks, for any help.

If you want to change the background color of menu bar then you will have to use owner drawn menus. One good article is this[^]. There are more articles at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/menus/index.aspx[^].
If you want to change the background of the popup menu then try this code.
CMenu* menu = GetMenu();
MENUINFO mInfo = {0};
mInfo.cbSize = sizeof(MENUINFO);
mInfo.fMask = MIM_APPLYTOSUBMENUS | MIM_BACKGROUND;
mInfo.hbrBack = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(0, 255, 0));
menu->SetMenuInfo(&mInfo);

Hello,
I want to change the foreground colour of CStatic class.But the window styles or static such as SS_BLACKRECT,SS_WHITERECT doesb't have any effect on the CStatic window.
What must be the problem?

By "foreground colour", do you mean the text color?
If so, you could add a handler for the WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC message in the
control's parent which sets the color, something like:
ON_MESSAGE(WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC, &CMyDlg::OnCtlColorStatic)
...
LRESULT CMyDlg::OnCtlColorStatic(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
HDC hDC = (HDC)wParam;
LRESULT ret = Default();
::SetTextColor(hDC, RGB(0xFF,0x00,0x00));
return ret;
}

Hello,
Thanks for your reply
But actually I want to change the background colour of CStatic box.
The CStatic Box is on a CMDIChildWnd and not on a dialog.
I tried by calling GetDC() of CStatic and then call SetBkColour().But it seems the DC handle is not got properly with GetDC().
But CStatic->SetFont() works properly.
If I want to change the background colour Why the windows static styles don't work while creating the CStatic windows (i.e SS_BLACKRECT, SS_WHITERECT etc)
Sorry for miscommunication.
Regards
Pritha

For the background, your WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC handler needs to return a brush
that will be used to paint the background.
If there's text in the static control, you'll also want to set
the bkcolor, something like this:
CBrush RedBrush;
...
RedBrush.CreateSolidBrush(RGB(0xFF,0x00,0x00));
...
ON_MESSAGE(WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC, &CMyWnd::OnCtlColorStatic)
...
LRESULT CMyWnd::OnCtlColorStatic(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
HDC hDC = (HDC)wParam;
::SetTextColor(hDC, RGB(0x00,0x00,0xFF));
::SetBkColor(hDC, RGB(0xFF,0x00,0x00));
return (LPARAM)(HBRUSH)RedBrush;
}

Hi,
I have a Modal Dialog window that is displayed to the user and I noticed the worker thread is blocked until I close the Modal Dialog window. Any way around this?
Thanks

It shouldn't, unless it is the same thread that created the Dialog.

What do I have to do to "link" the scroll bar for one edit box to another so that when I move the slider in box A up and down, the slider in box B follows?????
Thank you in advance

You will have to do this manually i.e. intercept the message for first scroll bar and then move second scroll bar accordingly. Similarly do this for second scroll bar.

what I need is know the rightmost part of the IP address for example if it's 192.133.14.17
I want to get the 17.

The "17" is on the right side of the address, not the left part, that's probably why you cannot
get it.

Sorry for the confusion. Too much hours, I guess...

And what is your difficulty about?

finding the function that returns this data.

Have you the IP?
Is it storead as a string or whatever?
i.e. be specific.

Sorry for all the confusion I've scattered ...
I just need to know in my Win32 application what is my IP address.

One way would be:
gethostname();
struct hostent *host = gethostbyname();
struct in_addr *ptr = (struct in_addr *) host->h_addr_list[0]
int octet = ptr->S_un.S_un_b.s_b4;

I have an embedded web browser control (IWebBrowser2) and I'm having problems getting it to process key presses, specifically to switch "focus" from one html element (like a text box) to another when you hit the TAB key.
I looked this up on Google and came across a number of links, apparently it's a known problem. But I have yet to get the solution to work for me.
The "apparent" solution is to check the MSG that you pulled off the queue with GetMessage and then either:
1) dispatch it with IsDialogMessage, and don't process with the normal TranslateMessage/DispatchMessage calls if IsDialogMessage returns true.
or
2) get the web browser control interface, QI for IOleInPlaceActiveObject, and if you get a valid instance back call the IOleInPlaceActiveObject::TranslateAccelerator
Supposedly this will then cause the tabs to get processed "correctly" and voila, everything is hunky dory.
I can't get this to work and I wonder if anyone here has gotten this to work and if so how?

Heh, turns out it was my fancy-schmancy customizations!
If you do the hosting (something like this: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/COM/cwebpage.aspx[^] ) and add support for a custom IDocHostUIHandler implementation you MUST return anything other than S_OK from the your TranslateAccelerator function implementation, otherwise things don't work right. Which is mentioned in the docs for this interface, it just didn't register with me. This of course is in ADDITION to doing something like the above to make sure the TranslateAccelerator gets properly called in the first place.

Hi all!
I would like to serialize/deserialize a std::vector of objects of a class into some buffer of a stream or of some other buffer. Can you address me about how to do this with the highest performance possible?
If I had an ARRAY of these instances..I would switch to a std::vector using this code:
CMyClass d[20];
// fill the array!
std::vector<CMyClass> v(d,d+sizof(d)/(d[0]));
What in case I use deserialization from a stream?
Is there a way to let the std::vector copy or use itself access the buffer
of a stream?
I would like to avoid the istream::read line below to go faster..do you know some way or address some nice super STL feature?
CMyClass d[20]; // buffer is created continuosly
istream::read( d, 20 ); // copy data from the buffer ( IS AVOIDABLE? )
std::vector<CMyClass> v( d,d+sizof(d)/(d[0])); // get the std::vector
Kind Regards

I am working presently in one project in my company, where I have to create a window using MFC in which I should be able to control each and every viewport independently in that output window (it is just like tiling all the sub-windows, but it shouldn’t contain the title name on every sub-window). Also I should be able to divide that window into as many viewports or sub-windows as I want and at any time. Here, splitter windows concept doesn’t work, because after I get the output window, I cannot change the number of view ports I want and also I cannot have control over the different panes of that window. So, how can I approach this problem. Can I get this with simple MFC? or I should go with any advanced concepts of Visual C++. I am working on Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. So, kindly help me as soon as possible.

This isn't really a framework or language issue. It's just basic Windows.
You can create all the tile windows (as children of a window) and arrange
them any way you want to. Use the appropriate styles on the tile windows
so there's no title bar on them.
The basics of the windows is relatively simple with MFC....you're going to need
to actually write some code to do the layout
