This is just a hunch, but the declaration looks a little off. Try putting char* after the _declspec, instead of before it; that worked for me

Where does VC9 store its run time type info?

After some tests, I found that the first 4 bytes is vptr, which is followed by data members.
Where is the run time type info?

Well you could use typid, and then look in the disassembly what it really does, right?

It's held in a separate area - it's a per-class thing, whereas instance data isn't. I suspect the vtable (which the vptr points at) contains the run-time type-info. As the other answer said, trace through the VC++ code for doing it Smile | :)

Passing CDialog results to CFormView ??

I need to configure some application variables. I have a CFormView and via menu conmstruct a simple CDialog. However, after DoModal returns TDOK I am unable to retrieve the CComboBox selection - not even the GetCount returns number of items in the CComboBox. I seldom use CDialog but this got me stumped, I am obviously missing an important piece of code.

Thanks for reading and your help is as always appreciated.

Here is the offending code:

void CFD2008View::OnConfigureSetup()
{

     CString strText;
     CComboBox* pCombo10;
     int nIndex;
     int nCount;

     // verify document
     if(!m_CFD2008Doc)
          m_CFD2008Doc = GetDocument();

     VERIFY (m_CFD2008Doc);

     CDialog dlg(IDD_DIALOG1);

     if (dlg.DoModal()==IDOK){

          TRACE("\nvoid CFD2008View::OnConfigureSetup() ");

          pCombo10 = (CComboBox *) GetDlgItem(IDC_COMBO10);
          VERIFY(pCombo10);

          nIndex = pCombo10->GetCurSel();

//always returns 0

                        nCount = pCombo10->GetCount();
// always returns 0

     }
}

When DoModal returns, the dialog box window (and combo box) have been destroyed, so attempting to access them won't work.

Instead, you could pass a pointer to the CFD2008View into the dialog - one way is

CDialog dlg(IDD_DIALOG1);
dlg.m_pView = this;
if (dlg.DoModal()...

Of course, you need to define a member variable in the dialog to hold this pointer (m_pView). Then in the view class, add member variables for the information you're trying to get. Now in the dialog's OnOK function, set the view class variable so they contain the desired information.

Note that getting the count, or a pointer to the combo box will be useless as it's going to be destroyed. If you need to know the value of a selected combo box items, you'll need to find that value in the dialog's OnOK, and set that value into the view class.

Hope that helps.

Thanks guys. I used both of yours advices and came up with this.

     X_ConfigureDialog dlg; // derived from CDialog with IDD_DIALOG1 resource;

     if (dlg.DoModal()==IDOK){
          // pass dialog data to current view
          // or use directly in current view

                        m_strBand = dlg.m_ComboBox10;
          m_strMode = dlg.m_ComboBox20;

     }

Conclusion
1. Do not use CDialog "directly" as local variable.
2. Derive view class variable from CDialog - I guess I should have known that.
3. Let DDX/DDV do its stuff - when DoModal completes.

It still puzzles me why dlg is valid when used as derived class. I guess MFC / C++ class hierary magic.

Thanks Vaclav

Encryption / Decryption

Hey,

When obtaining a key to decrypt a file encrypted using RC4 algorithm, CryptImportKey() fails.
The error says, "Invalid type specified".
What may be the possible reasons for this ? Confused | :confused:

It fails when I export the key in one application and import it in another application.
Has this something to do with storage of keyBLOB (I store it in a text file while exporting the key and read it from the text file while importing from a different application)?
Or is there some other reason that may lead it to failure.

Please reply at the earliest.....

Regards,

If I define the constructor of typedef struct, it will appear some error(error C4430,errorC4183). How do I solve this problem?

     } 

     b(int p1) 
     { 
     m_p1=p1;

typedef struct

	a(int p1)

Help - Capture window to bitmap

13-Jun-09 5:25

Hi,

I need to capture the image from a window into a CBitmap. The code I have written just produces a black bitmap (correct size though Laugh | :laugh:

)

Can anyone see what I have done wrong? The bimap is created with the correct bits/pixel (32).

CRect rect(0, 0, 100, 100);
CBitmap bmpCap;
CBitmap *pBmpOld = NULL;
CWnd* pWnd = GetDlgItem(IDC_SUCN_CHART);
pWnd->GetWindowRect(&rect);
ScreenToClient(rect);

CDC* pdcScreen = pWnd->GetDC();
CDC memDC;

BOOL bResult = memDC.CreateCompatibleDC(pdcScreen);
bResult = bmpCap.CreateCompatibleBitmap(pdcScreen, rect.Width(), rect.Height());
BITMAP bm;
bmpCap.GetBitmap(&bm);  // Check bits/pixel is OK
pBmpOld = memDC.SelectObject(&bmpCap);
bResult = memDC.BitBlt( 0, 0, rect.Width(), rect.Height(), pdcScreen, rect.left, rect.top, SRCCOPY );

Hi,

You can call CWnd::PrintClient[^] and ask the window to draw itself into the destination device context.

CBitmap bmpCap;
CBitmap *pBmpOld = NULL;
CWnd* pWnd = GetDlgItem(IDC_SUCN_CHART);
pWnd->GetWindowRect(&rect);
ScreenToClient(rect);
CDC* pdcScreen = pWnd->GetDC();
CDC memDC;
memDC.CreateCompatibleDC(pdcScreen);
bmpCap.CreateCompatibleBitmap(pdcScreen, rect.Width(), rect.Height());
pBmpOld = memDC.SelectObject(&bmpCap); 
pWnd->PrintClient(&memDC,PRF_NONCLIENT|PRF_CHILDREN);
/*
	Do something with it.
*/
memDC.SelectObject(pBmpOld);
pWnd->ReleaseDC(pdcScreen);
bmpCap.DeleteObject();
memDC.DeleteDC();

Wow thats cool Cool | :cool:

It looks like my problem was selecting the bitmap into the printer DC because it was not compatible. Using CWnd::PrintClient() should get me around this problem and its less code.

Thanks again, you have saved me hour of work trying to get thie code working. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

Can someone help. I am not sure but I think i read about this before. I can't find it when I need it.

I am looking for anything that will help me compare 2 images of diferent sizes using VC++.
The following only tell me the sizes are different. However I already know that they are different.

BYTE image1[ImageSize];
BYTE image2[ImageSize];
// load the images not shown

if( memcmp(image1,image2,sizeof(image1)) == 0)
   // they are the same
else
   // they are different

Thanks a million

Hi Fish,

The real question is how much accuracy do you require. If I wanted a quick and dirty image compare I would probably create a histogram of the colors[^] in both images. If you need greater accuracy then maybe you could use a library specifically designed for computer vision.

Creating a MFC "Static" Dill

Larry Mills Sr13-Jun-09 4:35

13-Jun-09 4:35

I have various Processes that are used in many of my programs. I want to put those Processes into "dills" so that I can load those dills when the User selects one in a program. This would illuminate the need to re-create the same processes in each program. The dills would need to contain it's own resources since they contain dialogs(the processes) and the program would not know in advance the resources. Is this possible? If so are there any tutorials on this subject using MFC?
Thanks in advance.

I checked out some DILL articles. Nowhere is it explained whether a DILL can contain it's own resources. Can someone explain whether your DILL can contain Dialogs; and if so how can this be provided for linkage in a program.?

Since I don't know C#, or use the #include <windows.h> (because I use MFC exclusively), the articles you provided are useless to me. Thanks anyway.
