I want to connect a small numerical keyboard to my laptop computer. I would like to re-program the keys on the numerical keyboard, for example, when the user presses "/" I want that to be equivalent to pressing F1 on the regular keyboard. However, the regular keyboard should function as usual, that is, pressing "/" on the regular keyboard should type a "/"-character. Is this possible? If so, how do I implement it? Thanks in advance for any help.

If you are using an old-style "Y" splitter, I would say no.
If you are using a USB keypad, likely not, because of how the device is identified and used. At least, not without writing your own driver. It is entirely possible that the keypad was designed with USB hardware that was designed to send specific keystrokes (1-9 / * - + .) directly to the system instead of sending generic keystrokes (key01 key02 key03 etc.) that are translated by some kind of driver to specific keystrokes.
If a serial one, it may have come with a tool to remap the keys. If not, then I believe a custom driver would be needed.
Note that writing a custom driver is not easy work, and you would need technical documentation on the specific device that you are using.

A hook would work -- but only if you could disambiguate where the keys are coming from. Without that information, you would not know of the key-press came from the normal keyboard, the keypad, a virtual keyboard (i.e. an on-screen keyboard or other input device, like Dasher[^]), etc, so you would not know if the key should be translated or not.

I seem to get identical values on the parameters (nCode, wParam and lParam) in the call to KeyboardProc regardless of which keyboard I use so I guess it is impossible to determine where there key event came from. Thanks anyway for your input!

Hello everyone,
I met with a problem when writing the experiment code. My issue is, how to sync code (e.g. struct definition in IDL and in C++ source files, like .cpp/.h).
Suppose I manually added the following code in IDL, then how to add the definition of struct and also the GUID mapping of the struct name into C++ source files (.cpp/.h)? Add them manually or there are some automatic ways which could add both struct definition in IDL and in C++ source files altogether?
(for primitive data type like int we do not have such issue, but for complex data type, we have such issue.)
[
uuid(96BF543D-58B2-480B-A484-253D8838EB42)
]
struct MyValue {
long x;
};
interface ITestStrcut1 : IDispatch{
[id(1), helpstring("method SetMyStruct")] HRESULT SetMyStruct([in]struct MyValue* value);
};
regards,
George

Hmm, That looks wrong. If you're going to pass your own structs through a COM interface then you'll need to do your own marshalling. Doing that in combination with IDispatch, which is primarily used for 'automation' compatible interfaces for ActiveX controls and cross language compatibility e.g. C++ & VB is not something I would even consider unless I had to. There are lots of ways of passing this data that don't involve such a clash of ideas, lookup SAFEARRAYs, VARIANTs and automation interfaces to see what I'm talking about.

Hi Matthew,
Do you mean struct is not automation compatible data type? If yes, I disagree. Please refer here. Struct with only primitive type members are automation compatible.
Any comments?

I disagree with you. From my (personal) point of view an automation compatible data type can be used by scripting clients. Well, the page you provided states clearly: "IMPORTANT: Structs cannot be used by scripting clients".

Hi CPallini,
From scripting language point of view, I agree with you. Let me re-state my question to cover C++/VB client only. 
Any ideas to my original question about code sync issue with C++/IDL?
regards,
George

Nope, I may only suggest you to have a look at MIDL compiler generated files (if I remeber well a header file and a source one).

Hi CPallini,
Do you mean the _i.h file? It is for COM consumer to include the definition of the struct along with its GUID. Yes, it is updated with IDL file update, I have checked with that.
But we also need to use the struct in COM server (not COM consumer, and my question is about COM server side, not COM consumer side), for example, accessing its field and using the struct type as function parameter type or something. But seems the source files for the COM server is not including any struct definitions? My question is whether to add the definition of struct manually or there are some automatic ways to sync struct defined in IDL to server source codes? Any comments or ideas?
regards,
George

Hello everyone,
When creating ATL project for a STA component, ATL does not help us to generate message pump code like below.
For message pump code lik below, it is the responsibility of the component creator (e.g. the thread which calls CreateInstance) to write such message pump code?
MSG msg;
while (GetMessage(&msg, ...)) {
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
thanks in advance,
George

I am using the listview control in win32(not in MFc) with checkboxes.
every thing is working fine , but I could not find the way to hndle the event when
I check and uncheck the check box of any row . how can I get that events(in win32 not in MFC).

I beleive you need to handle the LVN_ITEMCHANGED notification for the list control.
In the messag eprocessing code, you can check to see whether the checkbox has changed state:
NM_LISTVIEW* pNMListView = (NM_LISTVIEW*)pNMHDR;
BOOL oldCheckState = ((pNMListView->uOldState & LVIS_STATEIMAGEMASK)>>12) - 1;
BOOL newCheckState = ((pNMListView->uNewState & LVIS_STATEIMAGEMASK)>>12) - 1;
if (oldCheckState != -1
&& newCheckState != -1
&& oldCheckState != newCheckState)
{
}

Hello,
I used like
CString formatStr= _T("''hh':'mm'");
m_TimePicker.SetFormat(formatStr);
I am getting Hour and Minute. What is to spacify for am/pm?
|
|
|
|
|
You don't like the documentation[^], do you ? Look at the "Format Strings" table, a bit lower on the page.
|
|
|
|
|
use this
m_TimePicker.SetFormat("hh:MM tt");

Hello everyone,
I feel the only value of dispinterface is, we could explicitly assign dispid
for method/property.
- If we declare a customized interface derived from IDispatch and not define
dual, we can not explicitly assign dispid for method/property -- IDL grammar
does not allow this;
- If we declare a customized interface derived from IDispatch and also
marked as dual, we can explicitly assign dispid for method/property.
All of the above are correct?
regards,
George
