Yaw.
Does anybody familiar with some API that can calculate bounding rect of a windows text (Considering the font) ??? 
Appreciated...

You need a DC and the font to correctly do this:
CDC *pDC = GetDC(NULL) ;
pDC->SaveDC() ;
CFont *pFont = GetDlgItem(IDC_CONTROL)->GetFont() ;
if (pFont != NULL)
pDC->SelectObject(pFont) ;
CSize size = pDC->GetTextExtent("Some text") ;
pDC->RestoreDC(-1) ;
pDC->ReleaseDC() ;

You can also use DrawText() with the DT_CALCRECT flag.

named, message-oriented, blocked pipe
Server: one thread, ReadFile, then processes it, then WriteFile.
Client: two threads:
ThreadSend: WriteFile, the content is from console.
ThreadRecv: blocked ReadFile, then processes what is read;
It is found that when ThreadRecv is blocked reading (nothing read), the write operation in ThreadRecv will also be blocked, nothing is written to the pipe and the server gets nothing from it.
When I put the WriteFile and ReadFile into one thread on the client side, everything works well (one thread, ReadFile, then processes it, then WriteFile). It seems that the blocked ReadFile blocks the WriteFile. Is there anyone who knows why this happens and how it can be solved?
Thanks a lot.

 Use PeekNamedPipe() to see if there is anything in the pipe to be read and call ReadFile() only if there is.

hi i have a function called
<br />
writetofile(const char* filename)<br />
{<br />
FILE *stream;<br />
stream = fopen(filename,"a+");<br />
fprintf( stream,"%s",strptr);
fprintf(stream," ");<br />
fclose(stream);<br />
}<br />
when I call the function first time, i got no proglem.. but when i calll next time, I got run time error.... why is that?
|
|
|
|
|
The code makes sense to me, the only reason for failure I can make out is the strptr variable. fprintf may fail horribly if strptr is NULL or pointing to some weird memory location...

strptr is not NULL..
strptr get set to some string... right before that function got called.. strptr was fine... even i put some string fori know, that is like "hello" i
oh.. would it be because the function is in different program???
I have two dos-based applications.. but the both have the same function...writefile()....
so please also so tell me...

What is strptr declared as?

Does the file even open the second time (i.e. does "stream" really get assigned to a real FILE*)?

that's i don't know.. I'm calling from the different program.
I have program 1 and program two.
they both have the function that does the same job. i named it writefile(). program1 call the function within itself first.. then program2 call it later within itself..
eventhoguh both writefile() in both program1 and program2 do the same job, act the same, have the same name, but they are in different program so they are different. oh.. the error message is saying expression : str!=NULL
<br />
class program1<br />
{<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
void writefile();<br />
.<br />
.<br />
<br />
};<br />
<br />
<br />
class program2<br />
{<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
void writefile();<br />
.<br />
.<br />
<br />
};<br />

Hi !
I added a combo box to a toolbar in my FrameWnd. I can add items and everything but I miss 2 things:
1) If I manually type somwthing in the edit box of the combo box, and press enter, I cant find a handler to detect it.
2) how can I read the string value of waht I just entered ?
In a dialog it was much easier I did UpdateData and I was all set....
Thank you

1) You could use the ON_CBN_SELENDOK notification.
2) just use GetWindowText()

The second one worked great, I wasted the whole morning on that.
The first one I already tried and I have it in my message map, the funny thing is that it will not trigger from some reason, is there anything I have to do when I create the combobox so it will sense the ENTER ?
Thanks !!!

The edit control portion of a combo box usually does not receive ENTER notifications since all edit controls do not support this behaviour. ENTER usually means "default button pressed", as in dialogs.
What is the parent window of the combo box? Is it a CFrameWnd? You could also search CP for some of those special toolbars that contain combo boxes to get a hint...
good luck

yes, the parent is a FrameWnd, I will look in CP for demoes.
Thank you

I have to work with time functions. Time and date values have to be stored in string representation and have to be in UTC. Format is yyyymmddhhmmss. Now I use time() to get the current time and gmtime() to break it down into single values for formatting. When converting the string back into a struct tm I cannot use mktime() because that function takes the time zone into account, i.e. the resulting time value is not the same as before. I know that localtime() and mktime() are counterparts, is there any counterpart for gmtime()?

If you're using MFC, I would use CTime or COleDateTime instead.

I think you can use _ftime() to get the current timezone.

Hi,
I'm working on a HTML Editor. I've been learning C++ only 2 weeks ago.
I'm making a MFC Application, Dialog-Based.
I use a multiline EditBox to store the HTML code.
I want to add HTML tags (like
, which is a new line, for those who don't know HTML) in my EditBox when a user clicks on a menu link.
I want the tag to be displayed where my cursor is, in my editbox, but all I was able to do was to store the current text of the EditBox in a variable, then set the editbox's text and add the variable which contains the tag.
CString text;
CString br = "
";
m_htmlEdit.GetWindowText(text);
m_htmlEdit.SetWindowText(text + br);
So I suppose you know what happens... the text is displayed at the end of my EditBox 
Please help me!
Thanks a lot!!

Use CEdit::ReplaceSel method.
