Pretty much, yes.

Basically my 1st box has for example:

void Cbox1dlg::onbtnplay
{
// box 1 onbtnplay process information
}

I want my second box void Cbox2dlg::onbtnplay to just point back to box1 and do 'box1 onbtnplay process'

Thanks

If it is only a few buttons AND in your second dialog you know the handle of the first one (for example it is its parent) then you can try simply relaying all the command messages to the first dialog, if this suits your needs or not i can't tell of course.

Thanks for that,

I think that would be right for my needs,
the problem is, i have not been able to work out the actual code to relay back to the 1st dialog, I could do this in standard C++, but with MFC macros I'm sure how to go about actually coding it...

Could you (or anyone else reading this) give me an example code to relay the buttonclick back to the 1st dialog button click?

Sorry, i'm quite new to MFC, and i'm not sure quite how to treat the macros in it as opposed to standard 'int's' or something.

Thankyou very much for your help. (and yes, its only a few buttons - probably 3or 4).

Does your second dialog know of the first dialog? Is it its parent for example? Then you could try overwriting the OnCommand[^] method of the second dialog's class (it doesn't even have to be a subclass of the original dialog's class). So something like this:

BOOL CMySecondDialog::OnCommand(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
  GetParent()->SendMessage(WM_COMMAND, wParam, lParam);
  return TRUE;
}

Of course this carries some risks...a more safer aproach is maybe adding message handlers to your buttons and then relaying the events from there. Since we are talking about a few buttons only, it should be easy:

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMySecondDialog, CDialog)
  ON_COMMAND(IDC_FIRSTBUTTON, OnFirstButton)
  ON_COMMAND(IDC_SECONDBUTTON, OnSecondButton)
  ...
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

void CMySecondDialog::RelayCommand(UINT nID)
{
  GetParent()->SendMessage(WM_COMMAND, nID, 0);
}

void CMySecondDialog::OnFirstButton()
{
  RelayCommand(IDC_FIRSTBUTTON);
}

void CMySecondDialog::OnSecondButton()
{
  RelayCommand(IDC_SECONDBUTTON);
}

I am not completely sure i understood your situation correctly though...

Thats really great, thanks... I think you've understood what i want to do, that looks reasonable to me.

I didn't know about the RelayCommand, so thats really helped!

Thankyou very much.

1. Write a C program to read a list of books from a file and create a linked list to store them. The purpose of this program is to keep track of the books kept in a shelf. The shelf is a three-tier shelf and each tier can store up to 4500 pages maximum. The books are kept in alphabetical order (ascending).

It's called "homework". It seems to me that if you were given that assignment, then the instructor probably gave you everything you need to implement a solution. That's what I know about it.

if u want to run ur stuff in 64, there few things that should be taken care.
if u want to make 64 bit application run on 64 bit environment, firstly compile it as 64 bit. And build it, and some API in 32 bit wont work. Definitely you can use registry APIs in 64 application, using which you can modify registry.
If want to port your 32 bit application to 64 bit then
1. Build using vs 2008(64 bit support enabled) is must.

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to determine that XP (or XP embedded) was shutdown correctly. Is there a way to see that in registry or is there som Windows API-calls that can tell me that?.

With Kind regards, Ole

Layered window causing redraw anomalies under itself

Code-o-mat21-Jul-09 22:22

Code-o-mat

21-Jul-09 22:22

Hey people!

In our program a dialog box is displayed with an edit field and some buttons and above the dialog a layered notification window is brought up, stays up for a while (the user has to wait at that point) and then is faded out (using UpdateLayeredWindow). The problem is that all the controls on the dialog (which was under the layered window) remain undrawn and the dialog looks like it has holes on it where the edit field and buttons are (you can then make the controls be drawn for example by dragging another window over the dialog and then removing it). Any idea why we get this and how we could resolve it? I tried playing with the clipchildren style and also tried using RedrawWindow to trigger a redraw but it did not work, also using a RedrawWindow-like solution is very ugly and problematic because the dialog and the layered window both are brought up by different message handlers from different parts of the code and they generally do not know of each other (and i would really like to keep it that way).

Thanks in advance for any usefull hints, fellas.

As far as C is concerned, time (== time_t) started on 1st January 1970[^] - your file with an earlier timestamp is obviously blowing the C runtime's mind. It's like saying to a physicist "here's a file from 10 minutes before the universe existed" - does not compute!
