The Win32 function WideCharToMultiByte[^] will give you the most control over converting to UTF-8 or ANSI. ANSI may lose information, but UTF-8 will not. On the flip side, programs reading your data may not read and convert UTF-8 correctly.

A dialog is blocked by sending/waiting actions.
I need to know if user clicked a combo-box in blocked time, do something if yes or close the dialog.
the message is WM_LBUTTONDOWN, whose index in message loop is unknown.
How to get the specified message from message loop?
|
|
|
|
|
How are you waiting in the dialog?
Are you using WaitForSingleObject or WaitForMultipleObjects?
If so, try using MsgWaitForMultipleObjects instead.

Hi
I have a software which reads data from a database file (Firebird database). The problem is Firebird database does not protect its user database file (no password protection). I have some key fields in the database I don't want to share with users.
I am using Perl scripts to populate the database. So Perl should be able to run the encryption algorithm.
Could you give me some suggestions?
Best regards,

I am using static splitter frame (left CTreeCtrl right CTabCtrl) updating the right pane from the left. I am stumped with processing TVN_SELCHANGING and TVN_SELCHANGED. CTreeCtrl generates both notification messages after left mouse button click. I am not sure which one is correct to process in my case.
Could someone please point me to some kind a of code sample / tutorial on this.
So far all my searches were pretty dry and did not explain the purpose of two notification messages on same input.
Thanks for reading. Any help is as always appreciated.

In most cases, you want to process TVN_SELCHANGED - that's the notification you get after the selection is changed. The most common reason to implement TVN_SELCHANGING is when you want to control whether to allow the change of selection or not.

Thanks for reply. It just does not adds up. Both messages are posted on same button action, only the TVN_SELCHANGING comes up first. I'll try to use just TVN_SELCHANGED.

Why do you say it does not add up? If you handle TVN_SELCHANGING you can prevent the selection change to take place. If you don't prevent it, you'll see both messages.
|
|
|
|
|
The purpose is that TVN_SELCHANGING is sent before the selection changes and the tree control updates its internal state. That's why the message is called changing. TVN_SELCHANGED is sent after the selection changes. Which one you need to handle depends entirely on what your code needs to do. In general, if all you need to do is "when the user selects something in the tree, do XYZ" then handle TVN_SELCHANGED.

Using VC6 & MFC
Most MFC controls have a "Read Only" property so you can stop the user from making any changes to the value. However when you do this the control is displayed all in grey colours which makes it harder to read. Is there any easy way to make these controls "read only" but keep them obvious on screen, ie say in the default black and white ?
I am sure it can be done by overrding CEdit or similar and writing your own display code but this seems a bit to much like hard work.
Perhaps there is an easy was to make the controls read only which does'nt result in them becoming all grey ?

You can derive your own class from CEdit. Reflect the CtlColor notification using ON_WM_CTLCOLOR_REFLECT() and return a standard window brush in the reflected notification handler:
HBRUSH CEditReadOnly::CtlColor(CDC* pDC, UINT nCtlColor)
{
return GetSysColorBrush(COLOR_WINDOW);
}
This will be enough for default (white) back color and default (black) text color.
If you want some arbitrary color for the background see this[^] article.

Hi,
Nice question. Essentially, deriving your own class from CEdit would be the ideal way, but you say you don't want it. So, I have a silly hack for you.
Add a handler for EN_SETFOCUS and voluntarily give away the focus there. This way, the user won't be able to type anything into it or modify it. Because he just cannot set the focus. But, with a member variable for the control, you will be able to manipulate it from within your program, essentially making it "read only".
void CTestDlg::OnEnSetfocusEdit1()
{
::SetFocus(m_hWnd);
}
void CTestDlg::OnBnClickedSetText()
{
m_Edit.SetWindowText(_T("Sample text"));
}

I like your strategy Rajesh as it seems to work at with one function connected to each control. Howewver my screen has about 25 controls on it of which some are read only and others are not. Also I have a mixture of Edit boxes, spin controls, tick boxes, buttons and radio buttons.
It looks like it will work for CEdit type controls but stuff like radio buttons don't seem to have such set focus handler functions available in the MFC Class Wizard. Is there a simialr way to do it with Radio Buttons ?

Try handling WM_CTLCOLOR[^] or WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC[^] (possible reflected) or maybe use rich-edit, i believe that doesn't change its background color even when it is read-only.

hai everybody,
i am a beginer in VC++, any one please help me how to transfer a folder using socket programing in VC++ ....?
i'm waiting for your answer.....
thank u........

Hi,
Take a look at TransmitFile()[^] API.
The doc says this: This function uses the operating system's cache manager to retrieve the file data, and provides high-performance file data transfer over sockets.

As a beginner, socket programming using VC++ is usually not recommended. There are way too many issues that will come up that you have not grasped yet. Why such an ambitious project?

hi..
i am converting my project from vs-2003 to vs-2008..it is working properly in release
mode..but not in debug mode..i have checked all my settings...they are similar...
In the below two bolded commandline,i made the differences in italic to better understand
my settingd->linker->commandline looks like(in release mode):
/OUT:"./../../Production Releases/Phoenix32.exe" /INCREMENTAL /NOLOGO /LIBPATH:".\..\..\lib"
/LIBPATH:"..\..\sybase\lib" /MANIFEST /MANIFESTFILE:".\Release\Phoenix32.exe.intermediate.manifest"
/MANIFESTUAC:"level='asInvoker' uiAccess='false'" /NODEFAULTLIB:"libc.lib" /NODEFAULTLIB:"msvcrt.lib"
/NODEFAULTLIB:"msvcprt.lib"
/DEF:".\PHOENIX.DEF" /DELAYLOAD:"OleAcc.dll" /PDB:".\Release/Phoenix32.pdb" /MAP:".\Release/Phoenix32.map"
/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /DYNAMICBASE:NO /ERRORREPORT:PROMPT winmm.lib libsybdb.lib IEngine.lib fwfip.lib fwstruct.lib
fwpip.lib fwpfg.lib dbl32.lib dom32.lib csdlib32.lib csdfw32.lib csdxtra32.lib oldnames.lib version.lib

"..\..\lib\fwpfgd.lib" "..\..\csdlib\debug\csdlib32d.lib" "..\..\csdxtra\lib\csdxtra32d.lib" DelayImp.lib
But in debug mode it is looking like this:
/OUT:"Debug/Phoenix32.exe" /INCREMENTAL /NOLOGO /LIBPATH:".\..\..\lib" /LIBPATH:"..\..\sybase\lib"
/MANIFEST /MANIFESTFILE:".\Debug\Phoenix32.exe.intermediate.manifest" /MANIFESTUAC:"level='asInvoker'
uiAccess='false'" /NODEFAULTLIB:"libcd.lib" /NODEFAULTLIB:"msvcrtd.lib" /NODEFAULTLIB:"msvcprtd.lib"
/DEF:".\PHOENIX.DEF" /DELAYLOAD:"OleAcc.dll" /DEBUG /PDB:".\Debug/Phoenix32.pdb" /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS
/DYNAMICBASE:NO /ERRORREPORT:PROMPT winmm.lib libsybdb.lib IEngined.lib fwfipd.lib fwstructd.lib fwpipd.lib
fwpfgd.lib dbl32d.lib dom32d.lib csdlib32d.lib csdfw32d.lib csdxtra32d.lib oldnames.lib version.lib

"..\..\csdlib\debug\csdlib32d.lib" "..\..\csdxtra\lib\csdxtra32d.lib" DelayImp.lib
But i have given every library through linker settings.......
can anybody suggest in this regard......

There is no "Release Mode" until you get it to work under the debugger. Take a look at this excellent article: Debug vs Release[^] which explains the subtleties involved.

I think he probably means Release Configuration within Visual Studio. Or do I misunderstand what you are saying?

Never mind.
I thought he wasn't able to get the program work under debug mode and it crashed in the release mode.
[Add] There's this thing of what does "not working" mean when the OP says it. With my previous reply, I was thinking that the code compiles and links, but resultant executable will crash. But, now I'm thinking if he isn't able to get past the linker or something like that. You'll never be able to guess all the "not working" posts correctly. [/Add]
