You should put your drawing code inside the CView::OnDraw method.

I would do this test:

memDC.CreateCompatibleDC(pDC);
dcMem.SelectObject(&Bitmap);
pDC->BitBlt(0, 0, 390, 230, &dcMem, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);

Hi,

I have today date, how can I get the date of 15,30,45 days back?

My code is to get today date and time:

CTime newtime=CTime::GetCurrentTime();
	struct tm temp;
	newtime.GetLocalTm(&temp);

WCHAR szStr[20];
	wsprintfW(szStr,_wasctime(&temp));
	AfxMessageBox(szStr);

You could use the COleDateTime[^] class. Just take a look at the member functions the class has to offer. Given a date, the class offers ways to find the day of the year, from which you'd have to subtract 15, 30 or whatever. Try it and if you didn't succeed, post whatever you tried (the code).

Create a CTimeSpan[^] object with the correct number of days and substract it from your CTime object.

BTW, you don't need to make such a complex conversion to print the time in a string. Do yo know that CTime has a Format[^] function which is probably far easier to use than to convert to a tm structure first ?

Another point: is there a particular reason why you are using wide-char strings instead of unicode independant strings (TCHAR) ? You might want to read this article[^].

dwDesiredAccess in CreateFile API

Varghese Paul M25-Aug-09 18:47

Hi everybody,
I don't know is this the right forum to ask this question. Guide me if I am wrong.

Right now I am working on some network related file systems.
My difficulty is to determine the desired access level of a file in its shared mode.
For example, I have a file opened with some dwDesiredAccess level flags set using CreateFile API.
Some other process is asking for the same file with a different dwDesiredAccess level flags which may or may not succeed when I call the CreateFile API.

Is there a way I can determine the result of the second CreateFile API without calling it?
ie, is there a way I can validate the second dwDesiredAccess by checking with the first dwDesiredAccess and return ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION to the client without making a call to CreateFile API?

Please let me know if some good articles or other useful information available anywhere.

Thanks in advance

cheers

Hi Paul,

In a nutshell, you just want to know the available access level of a file and you do not want to call CreateFile if the desired access level is not available for that file? If I have understood your query correctly, then you could try this:

//Use ncheck = 2 to check write permission, 4 for read only permission and 6 for read and write permission.
int nCheck = 0; //0 checks just for the existence of the file.
int nReturn = _taccess(_T("C:\\Users\\Rajesh\\Downloads\\7z465-x64.msi"), nCheck);

if(nReturn == 0)
{
   //Success - The file has the given mode.
}
if(nReturn == -1)
{    
   //The file does not have the given mode!
}

It is a crappy thing, but it's life -^ Carlo Pallini

I don't believe so...and anyway, even if you could, the results could be invalid (by someone opening another handle on the file) before you could use them. Just open the file and be done with it. If it fails, it fails! But Win32 will tell you, through a combination of return code and GetLastError.

Hi everybody
I am writing a dll in C++.Net. I had a .h and .cpp file in visual C6.0 and I want to use it here,but there is no lib. First, I set the paths in project properties, but because there is no lib file, I only set the .h file path there. But while compiling there were two LNK errors: LNK2028 and LNK2019. I add it manually in the "Header files" section and "Source Files" section. But there is an error like this while compiling:

LNK1107: Invalid or corrupt file, cannot read at 0x306

I also include it in my code. What's wrong? Would you please help me?
Thanks in advance

Did you add the cpp file to the project? I don't mean the paths to folders where the cpp or header is sitting, i mean the file itself? If not, could it be that the unresolved symbols are defined in that cpp?

Sounds to me like you're linking against something that claims to be a .lib or .obj file, but isn't - could that be the header file?

I think you actually want to be adding the .h and .cpp files to your project and building them into it.\, from your question.

OnSize [modified]

A question is such:overload a function OnSize(). I want, that buttons at the stretch of basic window either upwards or to the right saved the positions in relations to the overhead and right edges of main window.

Code:

void CMobileTISDlg::OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy)
{
	CDialog::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);
	if(Flag)
	{
		 int nCount = ResData.size();
        for(int i=0;i<nCount;i++)
        {
            GetDlgItem(ResData[i].nID)->SetWindowPos(&wndTop, cx - ResData[i].aPoint.x, cy - ResData[i].aPoint.y, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_SHOWWINDOW);
        }
	}
}

ResData is a vector, containing structures
Код:

struct  ResizeStruct
{
	CPoint aPoint;//left overhead corner of button
	UINT nID;//ID of button
};

Filling of structure:

void CMobileTISDlg::SetResData(UINT nID)
{
    ResizeStruct Res;
    CRect rc, rcForm;
    GetDlgItem(nID)->GetClientRect(&rc);
    GetClientRect(&rcForm);
    Res.aPoint.x = rcForm.right - rc.left; Res.aPoint.y = rcForm.bottom - rc.top;
    Res.nID = nID;
    ResData.push_back(Res);
}

A problem is such: at testing of the program the buttons appear in one place in the left corner of the program.
Started a debugger? top and right of Rect rc in function SetResData() are always equal to the zero. What is my error in?

try this:

ScreenToClient(&rc);

Also, read this[^] and pay attention what the remarks section says.

Adding Checkboxes to a list control in every column

Member 470944425-Aug-09 13:00

25-Aug-09 13:00

Hi,

I read the article about "Adding Checkboxes to a list control" and it was really helpful.
But what I want to do is to add a checkbox in every column and every row. And I want to be able to read and set the checking.

Is there any way to do it?

At the moment my code looks like this:

listCtrl.SetExtendedStyle(listCtrl.GetStyle()|LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES);<br />
	CString str;<br />
	str.Format("Col0");<br />
	listCtrl.InsertColumn(0, str, LVCFMT_LEFT, 100);<br />
	str.Format("Col1");<br />
	listCtrl.InsertColumn(1, str, LVCFMT_LEFT, 100);<br />
	str.Format("Col2");<br />
	listCtrl.InsertColumn(2, str, LVCFMT_LEFT, 100);<br />
<br />
	int nItem;<br />
	<br />
	nItem = listCtrl.InsertItem(0, "Row0");<br />
	str.Format("Col1");<br />
	listCtrl.SetItemText(nItem, 1, str);<br />
<br />
	nItem = listCtrl.InsertItem(0, "Row1");<br />
	str.Format("Col2");<br />
	listCtrl.SetItemText(nItem, 2, str);

Thanks for every help,

Moritz

I think the standard list control does not have such a feature, you have to do it yourself with owner drawn items and handling clicks in the list.

Sidenote: Why are you combining the normal styles with an extended style here:

Member 4709444 wrote:
listCtrl.SetExtendedStyle(listCtrl.GetStyle()|LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES);

? Isn't that suposed to be GetExtendedStyle() instead of GetStyle() in there?
