I'm worried MFC had its own version of the control then.
I just can't remember Frown | :(

These days (since Windows 98), the control is provided by
the operating system. You may want to not use MFC for the
control and use Win32 APIs directly. The problem seems to be
in MFC, not in the control.

You're right, if I just use:

ListView_SetItemState(MyList_, i, LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_SELECTED)

It works to select the first item on initial display, as well to select at any other time. So I can avoid the fake mouse clicks! Yeah!

Thanks so much Mark!

You can also do this:

//GotoDlgCtrl(&MyList_);
MyList_.SetItemState(0, LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_SELECTED);
GotoDlgCtrl(&MyEdit_); // optional - if you want initial focus on the edit control

It seems you can't set LVIS_FOCUSED unless the control has focus.
And if the control doesn't have focus and you try to specify LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED,
it doesn't set either state Smile | :)

Good to know!

Exception problem

I'm not expert on exceptions. I need to catch some memory exception and ignore it, but it des not work. It only works in debug release (exception is ignored), but in release mode it crashes like when I don't handle the exception. What is the problem?
Here is code :

try
{

    *((char*)0)=1;
}
catch(...)
{
}

It is MFC app in VC6.0.
Thank you.

This is the difference between C++ typed exceptions and Win32 structured exceptions. What you have is the former. See _set_se_translator() for more.

Thank you. I'm going to check it.
I wonder why debug mode caught the exception. Does debug mode use some default translator?

I'm really not sure, but it may have to do with the optimizer.

Might be because you set the "Enable C++ Exception=> YES with Structured exception (/EHa)" for debug configuration settings but not for release configuration.

In C++ - assuming the implementation follows the standard - catch is only allowed to catch exceptions raised using the throw keyword: since this isn't the case in your example the code in the catch block should NOT be executed. MSVC6 got this wrong but the bug has been corrected in later versions. The /EH[^] switch can be used to reinstate the bug.

You can use an exception handler to ignore the access violation like this:

__try
{
	*((char*)0)=1;
}
__except(EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER)
{
}

Help in CxImage..

Hi all...

I'm using CxImage to load and draw PNG. Either in dialog box or preferably on desktop screen.. Need help how to draw the PNG. So far i did this.

CxImage* newImage = new CxImage();
	newImage->LoadResource(FindResource(NULL,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_PNG1),"PNG"),CXIMAGE_FORMAT_PNG);

Thanks.

For PNG files you can use of CImage class and its easy to use.

I guess Cimage and CxImage are sort of same thing..
Neverthless how can i do with Cimage Class..

Thanks..

Surely CxImage must have rendering methods.

Look for methods called Draw() Smile | :)

Hi Mark...

After i call this.

newImage->LoadResource(FindResource(NULL,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_PNG1),"PNG"),CXIMAGE_FORMAT_PNG);

How do i call Draw??

Draw has these two declaration..

long	Draw(HDC hdc, long x=0, long y=0, long cx = -1, long cy = -1, RECT* pClipRect = 0, bool bSmooth = false);

long	Draw(HDC hdc, const RECT& rect, RECT* pClipRect=NULL, bool bSmooth = false);

Thanks..

Till now i've done this with no success.. Trying to draw PNG on desktop.

HBITMAP m_bitmap = NULL;
CxImage image("E:\\My_Prog\\FINAL_PNG\\Res\\eScan.png", CXIMAGE_FORMAT_PNG);

HWND hDesktop =  GetDesktopWindow();
HDC hdc = GetDC(hDesktop);
m_bitmap = image.MakeBitmap(hdc);

image.Draw(hdc);

Where am i wrong?

gothic_coder11-Nov-08 21:35

11-Nov-08 21:35

Edited..

Now i'm doing something like this.. This should disply PNG on picture control..But no success..

case WM_INITDIALOG:
		{ 
			HBITMAP m_bitmap = NULL;
			CxImage image("E:\\My_Prog\\FINAL_PNG\\Res\\eScan.png", CXIMAGE_FORMAT_PNG);
			
			RECT rect;
			HWND hImage = GetDlgItem(hWnd, IDC_DRAW_IMAGE);
			GetClientRect(hImage, &rect);
			int rectHeight = rect.bottom - rect.top;
			int rectWidth = rect.right - rect.left;

			int height = image.GetHeight();
			int width = image.GetWidth();

			//if height or width larger than image's size, resample it
			//else show image in original size.

			int xpos = 0;
			int ypos = 0;
			if(height > rectHeight || width > rectWidth)
			{
				//
				double ratiox = (double)rectWidth /(double)width;
				double ratioy = (double)rectHeight/(double)height;
				double ratio = ratiox > ratioy? ratioy: ratiox;
				width = width * ratio;
				height = height * ratio;
				image.Resample(width, height);
				image.Save("E:\\My_Prog\\FINAL_PNG\\Res\\eScan.bmp", CXIMAGE_FORMAT_BMP);
			}

			xpos = (rectWidth - width)/2;
			ypos = (rectHeight - height)/2;

			//GetDlgItem(IDC_IMAGE)->GetDC()->FillSolidRect(0, 0, rectWidth, rectHeight, 0x000000);
			HDC hdc = GetDC(hImage);
			image.Draw(hdc, xpos, ypos);

			//if(m_posFile == NULL)
			//	m_posFile = m_pFileList->GetHeadPosition();
			
			break;
		}

You don't draw on "picture controls". Picture controls keep their own
bitmap and render it themselves.

Try getting your image to render on the window first, then maybe work
on rendering on a child window.

This isn't a CxImage support site, and I've never used the library,
nor am I going to research the documentation, so it's tough to figure
out what's not working.

There is, as you probably know, the CxImage article, here [^] at CodeProject. On the web there is also the library documentation page [^].
