I have a dialog box popping up, which contains a updown control.
I need to set and get the values of its buddy control through my c++ program.
Basically i am automating it.
Please could some one help me.
|

Use FindWindowEx[^] to find the updown control in the dialog.
Type cast the CWnd* of the control to a CSpinButtonCtrl* and call CSpinButtonCtrl::GetBuddy[^] to get a pointer to the buddy window.
You can then use GetWindowText[^] and SetWindowText[^] to get and set the value of the buddy control respectively.

That is exactly what FindWindowEx gives you.

selection and deselection from Checkbox working fine.
but problem occur when i use it by List box means, iwant when the all items of list box checked than Select all Check box automatically Checked or vice-versa.
but i have one problem when i continous click on listbox its not working fine.
CButton m_sel_all_chk;
CCeckListBox m_col_lb;
void CExcel_Info_Dlg::OnBnClickedCheckSelAll()
{
if(m_sel_all_chk.GetCheck()==1)
{
for(int i=0;i<m_col_lb.GetCount();i++)
{
m_col_lb.SetCheck(i, 1);
}
}
else if(m_sel_all_chk.GetCheck()==0)
{
for(int i=0;i<m_col_lb.GetCount();i++)
{
m_col_lb.SetCheck(i, 0);
}
}
}
void CExcel_Info_Dlg::OnLbnSelchangeListColumns()
{
BOOL flag;
flag=FALSE;
int count=m_col_lb.GetCount();
for(int i=0;i<count;i++)
{
if(m_col_lb.GetCheck(i)==0)
{
flag=TRUE;
break;
}
}
if(flag==FALSE)
{
m_sel_all_chk.SetCheck(1);
}
else
{
m_sel_all_chk.SetCheck(0);

i means when i click on List box item multiple times and all items are checked than select all check box automatically checked.
or if not checked all items select all button not checked.

I understand what you want, and the code snippet you've shown does exactly that.
In addition to what you want the code to do, you might also add what it's actually doing.

Hi all,
I want to read the content of the file.(say .txt)
I am using Read method...But Its not reading the entire contents present in the file rather it reads around 50% of the file.
-------------------------
Code Snippet:
CStdioFile docfile;
WCHAR* preadbuf;
if(docfile.open(....))
docfile.read(preadbuf,docfile.getlength());
------------
Please tell me how to solve this problem. please let me know if you have any queries..
Thanks,
Rakesh.

Does CStdioFile have open and read methods?
The length parameter to any read function is the amount of data to be read from the file.
I believe there is some mistake here.
The first parameter to the read function must be a buffer containing some memory and not just a pointer.
Look at the example in the documentation of CFile::Read[^].

You never allocate preadbuf, so I'm really amazed that your code doesn't crash here...

Exactly.

First you should make up your mind if you want to read the file line by line or read the entire file into a buffer.
In case of the former option use CStdioFile::ReadString() method, for the latter use CFile::Read().

This will not even compile. If you want to know why a particular piece of code does not work, at least show the actual code.

Just a thought. But here goes:
You seems to read the file as Unicode, that way every character consists of two bytes in the file.
If docfile.getlength() reports the file size in bytes, then you get your 50%.
An example, suppose the file is 50 bytes.
docfile.getlength() returns 50.
But you can read 25 Unicode characters from it.
Makes sense?

I have a worker thread for example,
DWORD ThreadProc(void* pVal)
{
while()
{
pcEdit->SetWindowText("Status");
pcEdit2->SetWindowText("Status2");
}
}
Is it okay to update UI this way from the thread? Or how should I do? Anybody can explain in simple words?
The above actually works fine. But mate says I shouldn't do it, but he doesn't say how to do it. 
----------------------------
286? WOWW!

The right way to do it is to post messages to the thread that owns the UI.
Use the PostMessage[^] API to post messages.
For SetWindowText post the WM_SETTEXT[^] message.
The problem that can occur is such scenarios is when both the worker thread and the thread that owns the UI simultaneously updates the control. For SetWindowText, this may not be a problem because the function does the same thing of sending the WM_SETTEXT message.

You mean I should post the message straight to the control right?

You mean I can go ahead with myCtrol->SetWindowText()? Then which controls/APIs exactly make the problem?

No. Create a custom message and post the custom message to the UI thread.
The custom message handler in the UI thread can call SetWindowText.

It is cleaner to send a custom message to the UI thread.

Here[^] is an excellent article you should read before starting to work with threads. It will cover a lot of important points and traps when working with thread (it also has a section answering your question).
|
|
|
|

I hope you've resolved the problem by now?
However, take this as a rule while doing multi-threaded programming: Never manipulate an UI element from a different thread than what owns it instead.
Like others said, post a message to the thread that owns the UI element, and have it manipulate the control for you.

 My qustion is Why this happened???
if sibling window paint by Z-order according to MSDN doc, the button should not be painted after the dialog.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd183426(VS.85).aspx[^]
--------------------------------------------------------------
Do the follow simple step you will see the "magic" button:
1. Create MFC SDI project
2. At [resouce view], Add a dialog and set style child.(WS_CHILD)
3. Add this code to the *view.cpp to create to child window:
#define BTN1 10101
int CTestView::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
if (CView::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
return -1;
m_dlg.Create(CTestDlg::IDD, this);
m_dlg.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
RECT rect;
rect.left = 10;
rect.top = 100;
rect.right = 110;
rect.bottom = 125;
m_btn.Create(_T("testBtn"), WS_VISIBLE | BS_PUSHBUTTON, rect, this, BTN1);
return 0;
}
* CTestDlg m_dlg, CButton m_btn is member of the CTestView
* Z-order can be checked either by Spy++ or GetWindow API
You can fix the problem by add WS_CLIPSIBLINGS style of the button.
m_btn.Create(_T("testBtn"), WS_VISIBLE | BS_PUSHBUTTON | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, rect, this, BTN1);
|
|
|
|
|
My guess is you should be creating the button in your m_dlg::OnCreate object, not in CTestView::OnCreate.
