Nope, the MFC framework is not responsible for that. You may search in the article part of this site, you may probably find some articles to help you using large buttons on toolbars.
Another way could be to use external components/extensions which would manage this (and much more) for you. A good example of these is the library BCG[^]

Is this code ok?
I read a BSTR with a COM-Function, convert the string to uppercase and check if it is a defined string.

USES_CONVERSION;

CComBSTR bstrTag;

VERIFY(pElement->get_tagName(&bstrTag) == S_OK);

if (_tcscmp(_tcsupr(OLE2CT(bstrTag)), _T("WALLPOINT")) != 0)
{
    ....
}

I'm no expert at com and bstrs, so I can't actually help you with your question. But I can help you help yourself.

If you give your questions a more meaningful title, you might get someone who CAN help you reading it.

As for this particular questions, there are some obvious points:

The answer is "No, as you wouldn't be asking if it did work".
Or does this code snippet work, but you are concerned it might not work always?

Please don't take this as a flame; I like this forum, and the people who frequent are very helpful. But they need your input too.

I want to convert a BSTR to a TCHAR* string, without using the _bstr_t class. I only work with CComBSTR and the pur BSTR.

I found some code, but I think that the code is not ok.

USES_CONVERSION;

CComBStr bstrName;
foo->get_Name(&bstrName);
LPCTSTR szName = OLE2T(bstrName);

Is the code ok? Can I convert a BSTR with the OLE2T macro? Is a OLECHAR the same as a BSTR?

Qe. regarding NM_RETURN in CTreeView

Hi,
I am using a CTreeView in a ControlBar tab. I have checked TVS_EDITLABELS style while creating this view. I want to dissmiss the Edit box during label editing when user press return. The concerned view is not the main view of my application and is contained in a CTabCtrl in a ControlBar and not any CChildFrame. So the PreTranslateMessage of the mainframe does not route this messages to this view. I can override the PreTranslateMessage to do the same but if there is any other means to process the return key from this treeview or if anyone has ever faced and solved this problem please reply.
regards

Alex

G'day. I have some articles on GDI+ on this site, which show how it is done. Or you can use CXImage or another third party library ( CXImage is also on this site ).

Hi Satya,

If you are using VC7 you can use CImage classes for converting images or like as Christian said, you can try any of the code here.
<edit>
you can also try IPicture interfaces if you are ok with COM

Hello !

So, his follows a question I asked yesterday : I need to run a prg which the first it is run time will open excel, and the next times it is called it will bring the excel window on the top and give it the focus.

The first part is ok. The second part does not work. Here is my code :

HWND hWnd;
hWnd = ::FindWindow("XLMain",  // Check if Excel is open and get the hWnd to it
	NULL                   
	);

if (hWnd!=NULL)
{
	::BringWindowToTop(hWnd);		
	::ShowWindow(hWnd,SW_SHOW);
}
else ...

I've actually tested BringWindowToTop,ShowWindow,SetWindowPos,SetWindowPlacement,MoveWindow but none of these functions are working Cry | :((

... so pls help me before i get Mad | :mad:

with it.

Thanks

SetWindowPos has always worked for me, if it does not work I can only assume some code in the other window is bringing it down again.

COleControl problem

hdi99kf@syd.kth.se9-Dec-02 21:22

hdi99kf@syd.kth.se

9-Dec-02 21:22

Hello.

I'm writing an ActiveX control which was created by MFC ActiveX ControlWizard. I run the ActiveX control in Internet Explorer. I'm trying to obtain a pointer to the container to be able to change the html-page from the ActiveX control.

In the control class which is derived from COleControl I have to following code:

LPOLECLIENTSITE lpSite = GetClientSite();<br />
LPOLECONTAINER lpContainer; <br />
if(lpSite == NULL) AfxMessageBox("Click OK to crash..."); <br />
lpSite->GetContainer(&lpContainer);

The problem is that GetClientSite() returns NULL so the application crashes.

Any help is greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I've got a code which is adding 2 non-printable characters at the end of the string, which is causing a lot of problem.
Can anyone help me in removing these 2 "funny" characters.
Here is the code

[CODE]
========================================
#include <winsock.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>
#include <conio.h>

using std::string;

const char *yy;
int u,i;

string final = "<req><loginid>8888<reqtype>08<broadcast><messagetype>M<no>5359846<message>\n";

void main()
{
final.append("<date>02/10/2002 14:30:10\n");

yy=final.c_str();
u=strlen(yy);

for(i=0;i<=u;i++)
{
printf("%c %d\n",yy[i],yy[i]);
}

}
===========================================
[CODE]

Kindly help!!
Many Thanks,
John

Hello,

simply replace

for(i=0;i<=u;i++)

by

for(i=0;i<u;i++)

So, remove the =.

Then the 2 "funny" characters should not occur.

You mean the number representation of the linefeed-character?
Well, you could count two less than the string-length (CR/LF), or you could introduce a filtering line, that does skip any LF characters. That way you would even skip internal CR/LF sequences.

By the way: C++ like would be doing that with iterators. Its just as easy and less error prone. (see your index error dominic has shown)

As jh pointed out, you have to change the u to
u=strlen(yy) - 2; when using CR/LF (\r\n)
and u=strlen(yy) - 1; when using LF only (only \n).

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
