Ok, then are you aware that you just contradicted yourself in one sentence?

Hi There.
I am using VS2008, and am facing above problem.
Just FYI, I am calling WmCpyDta_GetMessage_sTagData() function as below...
WmCpyDta_GetMessage_sTagData(NULL, NULL, lParam, strTag.GetBuffer(0), strData.GetBuffer(0));
Signature of above function is...
BOOL WmCpyDta_GetMessage_sTagData(HWND hAcceptFrom, HWND hIdOfSender, const LPARAM lMsgStructure,
char szTag[], char szData[]);
Please suggest.
Thanks
PanB

wchar_t is not equal to char, hopefully you know that. If you don't nothing I say here is going to help you. So the next thing you do is this[^]
|
|
|
|

The obvious implication of the error message is that strTag is a wide string (I suspect strData will be as well).
You'll probably be wanting to look at a function to convert wide strings to ASCII ones[^]...

You should really avoid pickpockets and CString::GetBuffer (unless, for the latter, you've a special licence from Mark Salsbery).

hi
in static texts of the main dialog of my MFC program i've used greek letters like mu, eta, delta, etc. they're displayed properly in resource editor of vs2008. but in runtime they're altered. epsilon is converted to e, delta to d and eta to ?. it's interesting that mu is shown as is.
why is it and how can i resolve it?
thx

It sounds like a font issue to me. But as you said, it's showing properly in the resource editor.
Are you doing wacky font changing things?
In your OnInitDialog, try getting the text from the controls the text is on, and look at it in a debugger.
Similarly, use GetFont, and GetLogFont to check what font the control is using, and look at it in charmap.exe to check that the letters are shown as you expect them.
Hope that puts you on the right path,
Iain.

this is what i did, which indicates that it's not a font issue. if it would be, the resource editor also couldn't show it properly.
what i did was that i assigned an id for the label other than IDC_STATIC and used SetDlgItemTextW to set the text to ε0 in OnInitDialog. it worked. the font is so capable of displaying the greek letters.
i thought the .rc file in which the greek letters are saved might not be capable of holding them and they're altered because it's save is single-byte character set. and my guess was right.
now, i think i've found the reason and the source of the problem.
now, let me know how can i save the .rc file as unicode. am i essentially right? and if so, is there any way to save the .rc file as unicode so that it may hold the non-english letters?
thx

I know VC6 can't handle unicode resource files - or at least the editor can't. I thought you'd eliminated that issue, but apparently not.
I wonder if you can load the rc file in (eg) notepad, edit your text, then save it explicitly as UNICODE. I'd be surprised if the resource compiler could not handle that, but I'd been unsurprised if the IDE's resource editor choked. I hope not though!

Hi,
I have added a CStatic control to the toolbar to display text messages but I cant see a way of setting its position on the toolbar. I would like the control to be at the right-hand edge of the toolbar, away from all the buttons. I have tried ofsetting the CRect where the control will be drawn and this works OK except when the main window is resized.
Is there an easy way to do this?
TIA

Hi all,
I have a question about the custom build step in Visual Studio. Custom build step runs fine, but it compiles always at 'Start Debug' and 'Build', without any change of the source code. What triggers the compilation, or what prevents a compilation in case the source code is unchanged?
Any ideas?

IIRC, you need to specify what output files the build step produces. Then, VS can check if the outputs are older than the source and know to do the build. If there are no outputs specified, then it'll always do the build step, as it doesn't know any different.

Hi,
I am creating a modeless dialog box from my application. On this modeless dialog if i click a button one modal dialog is coming. After closing these two dialogs the focus is not returning back to the main window and the menu are appearing as disabled though they are enabled.
The problem is not there if close the modeless dialog without creating the modal dialog.

|

Hi,
How are you creating and closing the modeless dialog? It sounds like the dialog is running modal?
DO you have the code snippets?
Tony

Hi I using the create function to create the modeless dialog box and DestroyWindow() to close it.

Hey everybody
I need to get a printing event in the system from a windows service, and even better, be able to cancel it, if needed.
I've been sitting on that problem for a long long time! 
Anyone can help me with that?
Thanks a lot in advance!

I'm a little confused to what you're asking...
Do you want to be able to print from your service? I can see it being difficult to choose a printer, but you could write a helper user mode application for configuration of your service's settings.
Do you want your service to pretend to be a printer?
Do you want to monitor print queues, and monitor them for anyone trying to print anything other than a banner saying "Fuze" in big green letters?

Thanks for your help Iain!
Sorry, I'll explain myself a bit better...
Just like in your last option ,
I want to monitor (get an event) everytime a new print job is being made.
So if I print from notepad or word, I'll get a notification about that print job.
I've also added that my application is a service.
Besides getting a notification about that print job, I would like to cancel it, if there is a need to do so (if there is no banner saying "Fuze" in big green letters ).
thanks again!!!

This is not something I've ever done, but with a bit of googling, I've found the function InitializePrintMonitor2[^] which may serve your purposes.
It looks like an official hook mechanism into the print spooler. It also looks a bit gnarly to use, but if you're writing services that should be nothing new.
I wish you luck - and I also demand you write an article if you succeed - I think this would be an interesting project!

Thanks!
But, the function is for drivers in Kernel mode - although it might lead to something useful using google...
I sure will write an article on how to get all those pesky notifications that I already found, and those I will find!
Thanks again!
