Thanks for the code...
One question: Why do you call all this member functions?
pWndCurrentTab->MoveWindow (&rectCtrl, TRUE);
pWndCurrentTab->ShowWindow (SW_SHOW);
pWndCurrentTab->Invalidate();
pWndCurrentTab->UpdateWindow();
pWndCurrentTab->BringWindowToTop();
pWndCurrentTab->SetFocus();
It is not enough to call the MoveWindow and the ShowWindow function?
Why do you call Invalidate and UpdateWindow? Does the system not automaticly paint the window after ShowWindow?
Does I need to call BringWindowToTop? And why?

Nice greets, Daniel.

Hi Daniel,
I call Invalidate() and UpdateWindow() to force an immediate repaint. The latter is necessary as a workaround for the painting bug in static controls.
I call SetFocus() to ensure that focus is transferred to the first control in the modeless dialog, which is what the user would expect.

And why do you call BringWindowToTop? Does it not automatic drawn on the top?

I do that to ensure it's above the tab control at all times. When the user clicks on the tab control, the modeless dialog's Z order changes. BringWindowToTop() makes it topmost again.

 Hi,everyone:
I want to print a picture drawn in one of my windows.
The picture's base class is a CChart named m_chart.
The print programme is as following:
CWnd *pWnd = &m_chart;
CWindowDC dcWnd(pWnd);
CDC memDC;
CRect rect;
HBITMAP bmp;
CBitmap bitmap0;
memDC.CreateCompatibleDC(&dcWnd);
pWnd->GetWindowRect(rect);
bitmap0.CreateCompatibleBitmap(&dcWnd, rect.Width(),rect.Height() );
CBitmap* pOldBitmap = memDC.SelectObject(&bitmap0);
CPrintDialog dlg(FALSE);
if (dlg.DoModal() ==IDOK)
{
// Create a CDC object for the device context we got
CDC dcPrinter;
dcPrinter.Attach(dlg.m_pd.hDC);
// Determine width, height and orientation
LPDEVMODE pDM = dlg.GetDevMode();
int dmOrientation = pDM->dmOrientation;
int Width = dcPrinter.GetDeviceCaps(HORZRES) - 100;
int Height = dcPrinter.GetDeviceCaps(VERTRES) - 100;
// Describe print job to print spooler
DOCINFO docInfo;
docInfo.cbSize = sizeof(docInfo);
docInfo.fwType = 0;
docInfo.lpszDocName = "Print Thermal Schedule!";
docInfo.lpszOutput = NULL;
docInfo.lpszDatatype = NULL;
// Start a document
if (0 < dcPrinter.StartDoc(&docInfo))
{
// Start a page; you might call StartPage/EndPage more than once;
// you'll have one call pair for each page you print.
if (0 < dcPrinter.StartPage())
{
// measure the printable page
int nOffsetX = dcPrinter.GetDeviceCaps(PHYSICALOFFSETX);
int nOffsetY = dcPrinter.GetDeviceCaps(PHYSICALOFFSETY);
int nHorzRes = dcPrinter.GetDeviceCaps(HORZRES);
int nVertRes = dcPrinter.GetDeviceCaps(VERTRES);
// load bitmap from file
bmp = NULL;
//bmp = (HBITMAP)bitmap0.GetSafeHandle();
//bmp = (HBITMAP) bitmap0;
HDC hdc;
bmp = (HBITMAP) dcWnd.GetCurrentBitmap()->m_hObject;
dcWnd.SelectGdiObject(hdc,bmp);
CBitmap bitmap;
bitmap.Attach (bmp);
// copy bitmap into memory DC
CDC dcMemory;
dcMemory.CreateCompatibleDC(&dcPrinter);
CBitmap* pOldBitmap = dcMemory.SelectObject(&bitmap);
BITMAP bm;
bitmap.GetBitmap(&bm);
// determine magnification
double Magnification;
double MagnificationW = (double)Width / (double)bm.bmWidth;
double MagnificationH = (double)Height / (double)bm.bmHeight;
Magnification = MagnificationW >= MagnificationH ? MagnificationH :
MagnificationW;
int iBitMap_X = (int)((double)bm.bmWidth * Magnification);
int iBitMap_Y = (int)((double)bm.bmHeight * Magnification);
int iOffset_X = (dcPrinter.GetDeviceCaps(HORZRES) - iBitMap_X - 50) / 2;
int iOffset_Y;
if (dmOrientation == 1) iOffset_Y = 50;
else iOffset_Y = (dcPrinter.GetDeviceCaps(VERTRES) - iBitMap_Y) / 2;
// stretch memory DC into printer DC
dcPrinter.StretchBlt(iOffset_X, iOffset_Y, iBitMap_X,
iBitMap_Y,&dcMemory,0,0,bm.bmWidth,bm.bmHeight,SRCCOPY);//dcMemory
dcMemory.SelectObject(pOldBitmap);
// close the page
dcPrinter.EndPage();
}
else
{
MessageBox("Couldn't start new page!");
}
// close the document. Printing actually starts now!
dcPrinter.EndDoc();
}
else
{
MessageBox("Couldn't start document.");
}
}
else
{
MessageBox("You have no default printer. You must set a default printer before priting.");
}
When I degugged,I can see the value of bmp and the length of iBitMap_X and so so.
I likes that I have got the handle to the bmp.
But I print nothing out.
Can you tell me why?
thanks a lot.

what's the return value of the StretchBlt call?

Hi.
Do delete STL functions such as remove() and erase() calls a class destructor if the element is a pointer to an object? For example, consider a vector of pointers to ClassX objects and a list of pointers to ClassX objects..
[code]
std::vector<classx *=""> sTextVec;
ClassX *pCX;
sTextVec.push_back(pCX);
...
// Now you need to deallocate memory from pText.
// Do functions such as remove() and erase() call ClassX
// destructor, or do you have to delete them explicitly?
[/code]
Thanks,
Kuphryn

the container calls the destructor of the contained type. in your case, the contained type is a pointer, so it has no destructor (it's just a number). even more importantly, the destructor for a pointer does not delete the pointed-to object. this is nice, because you can use pointers as container elements and you don't have to worry that the objects that they point to will be deleted.
so, to really answer your question: yes, you have to manually delete the objects when you're done with them.

typical vector clean up code goes 'something like:'
for ( vector_iter = vector.begin();
vector_iter != vector.end();
vector_iter++ )
{
delete (*vector_iter);
}
vector.clear();

Hi, I am writing a Activex control in VC++(ATL,MFC). In this dll, I also have designed some classes used to support the functionality of this ActiveX Control. There are many places I need to use string, both in the classes and the ATL object's interface. But I don't know which string type to use. Could anyone give me a guidline on how to choose the following string types?
string
wstring
BSTR
_bstr_t
CComBSTR
Thanks!
Sherry

use BSTR on the external interfaces and choose between _bstr_t and CComBSTR for your internal string handling. they each have their benefits, though neither is as powerful as CString.

Thank you Chris!
Then how abour string and wstring? I found string and wstring are widely used in the project I am currently working on, I don't know why they pick them instead of _bstr_t and CComBSTR.

string and wstring aren't designed to interact with BSTRs (allocation and so on is different with BSTRs).

I am building a flat database for someone and thought it would be useful to have a list box available to show a list of the items in the db. I am real new to programming and have searched high and low for a way to accomplish this and haven't found anything. Is there a way to add the data in my db (which uses CFormView) by adding a dialog box? I just want to put it as a tool in the toolbar.
Thanks a lot for any pointers.

This is a 'huge' question in some ways.....so I can not possibly hope to provide a 'complete answer' to you....but here are some hints....
1. Listboxes take strings....so think: How can I get a series of strings to add to the list box....For each string fetched from your database, add it to the list...
2. I don't know exactly what you mean by 'flat database' but try to understand how to get some kind of string that represents each record in this database so that you can do #1 above.
3. Simplify the problem space to increase the likelihood of a 'small success' that you can use to build the 'next level' of the problem.
Also, be aware that you will very rarely find a code sample that does 'exactly what you needed' rather, you will most likely find a hint here and a snippette there that you will have to assemble in just the way you need it work. That being said, I'd suggest you crawl all over this web site and lurk for hours in your local book store just 'browsing for ideas.'
I don't know if this is any help at all, but wish you the best of luck on getting your project done....

How can I prevent the first column of a listview header from being resized...???
I have tried the following code, but had no success???:
BOOL CTimelineCtrl::OnNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, LRESULT* pResult)
{
HD_NOTIFY* pHDN = (HD_NOTIFY*)lParam;
switch(pHDN->hdr.code){
case HDN_BEGINTRACK:
if(pHDN->iItem==0){
*pResult=TRUE;
return TRUE;
}
break;
case HDN_ENDTRACK:
Invalidate();
break;
case HDN_BEGINDRAG:
*pResult=TRUE;
return TRUE;
default:
break;
}
return CListCtrl::OnNotify(wParam, lParam, pResult);
}
Thanx in advance!

It fails, because while you are probably compiling as a non-unicode app, you're running on a Unicode OS. See, there are actually two messages, HDN_BEGINTRACKA and HDN_BEGINTRACKW. If you're building as non-unicode, then HDN_BEGINTRACK is #define'd to be equal to HDN_BEGINTRACKA; if you're building as unicode, then it's #define'd as HDN_BEGINTRACKW. Only one is actually sent though.
The proper way to do it, is as follows (this will also prevent double-clicking on the header from resizing it):
BOOL CCustomListCtrl::OnNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, LRESULT* pResult)
{
switch ( reinterpret_cast<NMHDR*>(lParam)->code)
{
case HDN_BEGINTRACKW:
case HDN_BEGINTRACKA:
case HDN_DIVIDERDBLCLICKA:
case HDN_DIVIDERDBLCLICKW:
if ( reinterpret_cast<LPNMHEADER>(lParam)->iItem == 0 )
{
*pResult = TRUE;
return TRUE;
}
}
return CListCtrl::OnNotify(wParam, lParam, pResult);
}
I found this at http://www.codeguru.com/mfc/comments/5710.shtml[^]; check there also for a version that disables the CTRL+ keyboard resize, and the cursor.

I totally forgot about that...
I have two versions of the same control
1) Derived from CWnd with an embedded header control
2) Derived from CListCtrl in report view
The code I originally used worked fine under the first version but wouldn't under the version derived from CListCtrl...
I actually snipped that code from someone else and it was originally coded like how you suggested, but when I changed it for the first CWnd derived control it worked fine...
Anyways...thanks alot I appreciate the help.
Cheers!

i have read the serialization examples, and my book says that this is the best method for saving data in the real world, and at that my book never talked about it again.. go figure! So im unsure of how to actually save the data and retrieve it. Do you save data as an array and then serialize the array or struct? Or do you serialize data as it is input into the program.
Next, when retrieving the data, do i pull that data into an array, or is there a different method of doing all this?

MFC serialization is very similar to saving data in binary mode in core C++. For example, let say you have created an abstract C++ class. The class object symbolizes one member of CodeProject including name, age, favorite programming tools, interest, etc. In C++, you write data to a file in a format that reflects the format of the class object. Serialization is similar in that sense.
I believe serialization is less powerful than core C++ write algorithm because you know to know before handle the size of the data. For C++, you could read, skip, and cancel whenever you want. With serialization, I am not completely sure you can skip a specific data.
Serialization is just another algorithm for reading and writing data. You do not have to use it.

If you are positively sure that you (your app) are the only ones who will ever read that data, and if you are equally sure that the data format will never change, you can write the data in every way you want - even in some crude MFC CArchive.
But how can you be so sure?
Most of the time you have to support a old data format, or you know taht the next version of your programm will need to store enhanced data.
In this case a documented format is needed. XML springs to mind, but other possibilities are there: Just write comma-sparated values, prefix the file with the number of values and zip-encode the whole thing?
Almost anything is better than unstructured binary data in a file.
