oops... sorry i thought you were referring to SDI with Multiple views.
It seems you are looking for Dialog based one.
Sorry I dont have that.

Why? Once you use the entire client area of a Dialog for a Window it's no different from the users perspective than an MFC SDI window, so why the restriction?

Hi all,
I want to covert Cstring to char*,
I tried this
CString messageTOWrite("Test Message");
char* temp=messageToWrite.GetBuffer(messageToWrite.GetLength());
but it is not working...?

Hi.
What do you mean by "but it is not working"?
Does this work:
CString messageTOWrite("Test Message");
TCHAR* temp=messageToWrite.GetBuffer(messageToWrite.GetLength());
...
messageTOWrite.ReleaseBuffer();
If yes, my guess would be that TCHAR is not char but wchar_t (or such), so you are using unicode, and to get a char * from the unicode string you will have to convert it from unicode to ASCII somehow.

Small correction
CString messageTOWrite( _T( "Test Message" ));

Indeed, althorough i believe CString's constructor accepts a char string in both unicode and non-unicode environments, but at least if you make it _T(string) it won't have to convert and should be somewhat faster.

You really have to get rid of this GetBuffer/ReleaseBuffer, it's a bad practice. You don't need it because CString provide cast operators and if the cast operators 'fail' (compile error about wrong type convertion), then the GetBuffer function will fail with the same error.

True. But he asked how he can convert a CString to a char *, not how he can convert it to a const char *, and there is no operator as far as i know that makes a char * from a CString. He might have a good reason to access the buffer directly, but you are absolutely right that if all he wants is to -for example- feed the CString to a method which takes a const char *, he should use the operator rather than fiddle with GetBuffer() and ReleaseBuffer(), and if type mismatch occurs he will have to convert either ways.

Yes you right. In general I assume that the OP only wants to use a const char string (which I guess he does by looking at his other posts), but this is not always the case.
|
|

|

Ok....that is working, but i want is fputs(temp,fptr) , where fptr if FILE*. in this case this is not working same error unable to convert TCHAR* to const char *
|
|
|
|
|
In that case do this:
_fputts(File, your_cstring_object);
Forget about GetBuffer, but note that this will make you a unicode string in the file if TCHAR compiles to WCHAR.
p.s> whenever you meet a "common" method which won't accept your CString, look at the method's help in MSDN and look for a TCHAR-version.

Please don't use GetBuffer, you usually don't need it.
If you need a const TCHAR * (for instance if you need to pass it to Windows API) the use CString::PCXSTR operator (see [^]).
On the other hand, if really need a conversion the make a copy of the CString content:
CString messageToWrite(_T("Test Message"));
int iLen = messageToWrite.GetLength();
TCHAR * buffer = new TCHAR[iLen+1];
StringCbCopy(buffer, (iLen+1) * sizeof(TCHAR), messageToWrite);

And you're wondering why? Perhaps it's because there's a compiler error (hint: messageToWrite is never declared).

I suppose that wasn't the problem. My CPMRU says he just omitted the declaration in the OP and was in fact making a UNICODE build. 
BTW: my CPMRU abusez drugz like me...

Hi all,
Is there any method to hooking/getting notified the common error message dialogs ("Application error", "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library", Window error reporting dialog etc) from any applications.
Thanx in advance
|

You can create a CBT Hook or a Shell Hook to be notified whenever a new dialog box is going to be created. You can then check its caption and text.
