You should use Modeless dialog boxes

Hi,
It's called "Modeless Dialog". Search the forum for "how to create Modeless Dialogs".
Anyway here are the steps :
1) Add a "form" by right clicking on the class view
2) Include the header file name of the new form class to the source code where you would like to call the modeless dialog
3) To create and show the modeless dialog you should write a code piece like this:

void CTempDlg::OnButton1() 
{
	Modeless* modlessDlg = new Modeless(this);
	modlessDlg->Create(IDD_MODELESS_DIALOG, NULL); 
	modlessDlg->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
}

Hah. I was doing this instead:

void CTempDlg::OnButton1() 
{
	Modeless modlessDlg;
	modlessDlg->Create(IDD_MODELESS_DIALOG, NULL); 
	modlessDlg->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
}

The window closed before it could open, I'm guessing because the object got automatically deleted after that function call.

Stupid me. Thanks very much! Smile | :)

If your needs are not so big with the dialogs is ok, but if you need more functionality you can also add classes/forms from CFormView and ataching it to the document, so you have more than one view with the same document. It is more difficult to implement, but that way you have more support to messages that are difficult or can't be called from dialogs. Are you interested in this?

Changing a Dialog's Caption in MFC

I have heard that it is possible to change a dialog's caption dynamically. Could someone shjow me how to do this in MFC. I am using a single dialog that works well for two different operations, therefore my need to be able to load up a different caption depending on what part of the program is calling up the dialog.
Could someone provide a code snippet for this please?

In addition to Led Mike's answer, if you want to change the caption according to where the dialog is called, the best place to make it is in the OnInitDialog () checking where it was called and writing the text you want.

How to Look for SMTP servers on network

I want to look for all SMTP servers on my network through visual C++(MFC).
I donot need any Web based solution using ASP.Net technology.

You could use the CDONTS package[^] to send an email to you network administrator asking him for the list of all the SMTP Servers on the network.

I want to use some MFC API which can help me search all SMTP servers on network.
May be something like seraching all Microsoft exchange servers on network.
Also one more query that is it possible to distinguish default virtual SMTP servers on network among the others .

CArray::GetData() vector equivalent

Is there a way to get a pointer to an array of the elements a vector manages much like the CArray::GetData() method?

Re: CArray::GetData() vector equivalent

Maximilien23-May-08 4:57

Maximilien

23-May-08 4:57

I think you can get the address of the first element of the vector.

(not tested)

std:vector< int > v;
int* p = &v[0];

Thanks. After reading both replies, I now vaguely remember the guaranteed contiguous memory for vectors thing.

Thanks for jarring my memory loose and providing assistance.

Just take address of the first element - vectors agre guaranteed to have their elements stored in contiguous storage locations - something like &my_vector[0]

VC++ Updates?

I am running VC++ 5.0 that I purchased about 10 years ago. I am retired and have never updated it.

I was looking for a copy of VC++ 6.0 that I might purchase. There is still support for version 6.

I found a serious bug in Ver 5 last night.

ME think you should have a look at the various "Express" editions of Visual Studio.

UNLESS you are using MFC.

Max's point was the none of the express editions support MFC. It you want MFC support, you're going to have to spend money.

I'm RETIRED! I don't have $200 to buy a new VC++ 6.0 package.

I have been using my ver 5 for 10 years. I did an app in the past week and when I tried to do a RELEASE it asked for. MMSYSTEM.LIB. But my package did not come with MMSYSTEM.LIB.

The DEBUG version linked and ran with WINMM.LIB. So I copied WINMM.LIB and renamed it MMSYSTEM.LIB and it linked.

But when I tried executing the RELEASE version "waveInStart()" hangs. It does not hang in the DEBUG version.

Are the VC++ packages sold buy former users or is the only solution to buy it new?
