Have you even tried:
_bstr_t b("This is very hard.");
CString c1 = (LPCTSTR) b;
CString c2 = static_cast<LPCTSTR>(b);

Hey man, no C-style cast plz!
(coz 2 simple, plz plz urgent!)

You can call copy() function of bstr to convert to CString.
eg:-
_bstr_t strTemp = "hi";
CString csTemp = strTemp.copy();
This will work fine.

hai, thats a nice bit of coding, but there is small performance issue, let me explain you, _bstr__t::copy will make a copy of underlining BSTR variable and pass it to csTemp, who again make copy of same and destroyed newly created BSTR variable. thought for small string the performance issue would be less, but for big string, this could present problem

_bstr_t bstrStart(bstr); <br />
<br />
CString s;<br />
<br />
s.Format(_T("%s"), (LPCTSTR)bstrStart);<br />
<br />
AfxMessageBox(s);
Try this. Hope this will work for u.

Thanks.. I'm using this:
bstr_t bstrStart(bstr);
CString s;
s = static_cast<LPCTSTR>bstrStart;

_bstr_t have overloaded LPCTSTR parameter, you can directly cast your _bstr_t object to CString. without any problem.

Hello Friends,
I have the following lines of code. The CRHPostMessageToParent() calls parent to parent class methods.
AfxMessageBox(_T("Page2::Inside TellPArent"));
this->CRHPostMessageToParent(WM_CHANGED_DS, (int)&deptStock);
this->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
this->CRHPostMessageToParent(WM_SHOW_NEXT_VIEW, i);
AfxMessageBox(_T("Page2::Finished TellParent"));
These codes start running untill the previous line code is not completed. I want to ensure, that it should proceed to next line only when the first is completed. The CRHPostMessageToParent() calls PostMessage () to parent & returns void. The parent function OnChanged_DS() returns LRESULT.
In Java, this can be achived by assigning each task in thread and synchronizing it, which makes sure that the process is completed & then only the handle is released.
How do I achive the same in VC++6? I hope I have explained my situation to the best. If yet not, ask me.
Thanks
Terry

You can also use synchronization.

You can use MFC sync classes like CMutex,CEvent and CSemaPhore.

Does your CRHPostMessageToParent call PostMessage or SendMessage? Using SendMessage means that control does not return until the message has been processed which sounds like what you want.

Did you miss:
The CRHPostMessageToParent() calls PostMessage ()...

Yes and no  . Yes, in that I didn't see the exact API function name and read the function description as "post a message." No, in that the function name implies Post instead of Send. More important was to make sure the OP was aware of the difference between PostMessage and SendMessage - unclear from the original post.

It calls the PostMessage(message, WPARAM, LPARAM)
How do I achieve the goal? Can you give some guidance/example to work with CEvent etc classes as mentioned in ealier post.
Thanks
Terry

I'm not the one who mentioned using CEvent. My suggestion was to call SendMessage instead of PostMessage to make the caller wait until the message was processed.

Oh sorry Judy. must have read in some website for solution of the problem.
Anyways, I changed from PostMessage to SendMessage. Was just wondering will it make any differnece in using any of those. I mean, i changed from post to send will that make any other impact on the application other than not returning till the message is posted. Am just curious about it.
Thanks Judy.
Thanks

Nope, that is the only difference. It can become an issue in multi-threaded programs whether you use Post or Send depending on how your GUI thread and your worker threads synchronize with each other. If you use Send, you need to be (even more) careful about potential deadlocks since Send causes your thread to wait.

Hi, I have a dialog box with a pop-up menu and one of the menu entry in there has the 'Checked' property set to true (as default). Now during the execution of my program, I would like to un-check the check mark next to this menu item, but I can't seem to be able to accomplish this, the check-mark seems to be there always. Debugging through the code, it seems to execute the correct statements, but the GUI does not seem to get updated. Any help would be greatly apperciated.
VS2005, C++ (MFC)
Code:
CMenu menuTst;
VERIFY(menuTst.LoadMenu(IDR_MENU_HELP));
CMenu* pPopupTest = menuTst.GetSubMenu(0);
UINT state = pPopupTest->GetMenuState(ID_OPEN_LOGFILE, MF_BYCOMMAND);
ASSERT(state != 0xFFFFFFFF);
if (state & MF_CHECKED)
pPopupTest->CheckMenuItem(ID_OPEN_LOGFILE, MF_UNCHECKED | MF_BYCOMMAND);
else
pPopupTest->CheckMenuItem(ID_OPEN_LOGFILE, MF_CHECKED | MF_BYCOMMAND);
|
|
|
|
|
You are loading menu locally in the function that,s why its not affecting the changes.
make CMenu menuTst; member of class and load (VERIFY(menuTst.LoadMenu(IDR_MENU_HELP));) somewhere like initdialog();

Hmm..unfortunately making the CMenu variable member of the class didn't seem to work either. I tried adding an ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI function for my menu item to try it in there, with no success!
void CTestDialog::OnUpdateOpenLogfile(CCmdUI *pCmdUI)
{
pCmdUI->SetCheck(0);
}

Hi all!
I wonder if there is a simple and safe way to find out the exact coordinates of the Windows Start Menu Button. I am quite familiar with Visual C++ and MFC and yes, I did look for a solution beforehand^^.
I need a robust solution that gives me the icon coordinates, even if the taskbar position is at the top or the side. I use Windows XP and VS 2005.
Thanks for any helping advice,
Christian

Try This code:
CWnd* m_Window = CWnd::FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd","");
CRect rc;
m_Window->GetTopWindow()->GetWindowRect(&rc);

Hello Sudhir!
Uhh, what can I say? This is pretty much _exactly_ what I wanted! It even works perfectly if the taskbar is autohiding...
Big thanks to quick and helpful answer!
