Can anyone let me know how to get the focus back to message box? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. But that doesnt have the answer for my problem.
After launching a thread and completing the foucus is not going to main window.
In a dialog based application, I run:
WinExec("test.bat");
Sleep("5000");
MessageBox("sdosn"....);
MessageBox is not having focus. If i remove Thread executions in between (WinExec). Then i get the focus properly.
Any updates on this.

Firstly I want to say that WinExec function is Obsolete. you should use, CreateProcess() or ShellExecute() to create new process.

Means if you comment out the WinExec() function, your message box is getting the focus and after closing the messagebox, your main dialog is getting the focus?

Hi,
Sorry, I am actually using CreatProcess() only. To make it simple i put WinExec()
But after calling CreateProcess() which calls a batch file and after completing the process, i display a MessageBox(sdkjfo..), the MessageBox() gets displayed but doesnt have the focus.
Yes, if i comment the CreateProcess() then MessageBox() gets the focus.
Regards.

Did you try modifying the code as I mentioned yesterday?
WinExec("test.bat");
Sleep("5000");
AttachThreadInput(
GetWindowThreadProcessId(
::GetForegroundWindow(),NULL),
GetCurrentThreadId(),TRUE);
MessageBox("sdosn"....);
AttachThreadInput(
GetWindowThreadProcessId(
::GetForegroundWindow(),NULL),
GetCurrentThreadId(),FALSE);

Yes, this worked.. Thank you.
If you dont mind, Can you explain why it was earlier failing with out the code and what this code does.

Did you read the link I gave you yesterday?
Actually in windows XP or later only a thread that own the current active foreground window has the privilege to set another window in foreground. So i guess when you create another process, your application loose the foreground window property

HI,
i have a file named test.ini under a Drive i need to get the complete path of the file if present where drive is specified ...pls let me know...

Are you using MFC? You could use the CFileFind class.
CFileFind ff;
BOOL res = ff.FindFile(_T("C:\\*.*"));
while(res)
{
res = ff.FindNextFile();
if (!ff.IsDots() && !ff.IsDirectory())
{
TCHAR szTmpPath[MAX_PATH];
_stprintf(szTmpPath, ff.GetFilePath());
}
}
|
|

Thanks for ur response...
but the thing is i need to get the path of the ini file which is present under D:\ drive but i do not know in which folder it is under D:\ drive..
|

Ok this is a bit dirty, and untested code. But I have used something similar
void myFindFile(szPath)
{
CFileFind ff;
HANDLE hFindFile;
CString path = szPath;
if(path.Right(1) != "\\")
path += "\\";
path += "*.*";
BOOL res = ff.FindFile(path);
while(res)
{
res = ff.FindNextFile();
if (!ff.IsDots() && !ff.IsDirectory())
{
if(_tcsstr(ff.GetFileName(), _T("test.ini")))
{
}
}
else if (!ff.IsDots() && ff.IsDirectory())
{
path = ff.GetFilePath();
myFindFile(path);
}
}
}
Basically pass the starting point to this function
myFindFile(_T("D:"))
This function will search for every file on that given path, plus inside each folder the while loop is where you look for the specific file.
Hope it helps.

Hey all,
I have written a utility to remove printer drivers from a system, but the only problem I have come across is refreshing the printer and faxes folder. The driver is removed properly but the printer icon stays in the folder view until I press F5 (to refresh the folder).
I have tried using SHChangeNotify but can't seem to get it working.. 
Any help is appreciated.

Now i want to find "Stop1" and insert "data3" so the file contents look like this
[SOF]
Start
data1
data2
data3
data4
Stop1
Start
data5
data6
data7

[EOF]
How to accomplish this??

You cannot insert data into a file on disk.
You will need to create a new file, delete the old file and then rename the new file to the old filename.

By reading the data into some sort of data structure. Add to that data structure as necessary. Write the data structure to disk. Use Superman's suggestion for the rest.

}

When you click inside an edit control, the control first receives WM_SETFOCUS message and then receives the WM_LBUTTONDOWN message. Since you're highlighting in the set focus, when the button down message is received, the highlight is lost.
To achieve this, you need to derive your own class from CEdit, handle the WM_LBUTTONDOWN message inside your class and subclass the edit control with your class.

Use Spy++ for this?

Hi ,
Can u please clarify me how to load the gif file on the CAnimateCtrl picture control using MFC.
Thanks
|

The CAnimateCtrl class only understands AVI files and not GIF files.
GIF Animation Control[^] is a custom control derived from CStatic for showing animated GIFs.

Try to simply return TRUE to prevent expanding.
NMTREEVIEW* pnmtv = (NMTREEVIEW*) pNMHDR;
HTREEITEM item = pnmtv->itemNew.hItem;
if ( pnmtv->action == TVE_EXPAND )
{
if(m_tree.GetCheck(item)==0)
{
return TRUE;
}
}
