Using LVSCW_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER has the same problem than using LVSCW_AUTOSIZE: if a non-visible string is longer than the header it isn't considered.
Yes, what i'm doing il looking for the longest text extent (not the longest string, "w" is larger than "ll") and adding some pixel. But I would like to know how much should be "some pixel"... I think it depends on system font & some other param..

I'm going crazy here ( trying to hook into session object )

I am trying to pull the current session variables out in an ATL project, called from the asp. The code looks like this:

CContext cxt;
if ( FAILED( cxt.Init( CContext::get_All ) ) )
{
    return E_FAIL;
}

cxt.Response()->Write(_variant_t("This is a test of the veracity of my system <br/>"));

IVariantDictionary* pVD;

cxt.Session()->get_Contents(&pVD);

if (pVD)
{
    int nCount = 0;

    pVD->get_Count(&nCount);

    for (int i = 0; i < nCount; ++i)
    {
        _variant_t vItem;
        _variant_t vIndex(i);
        _variant_t vKey;
        pVD->get_Key(vIndex, &vKey);
        pVD->get_Item(vKey, &vItem);

        cxt.Response()->Write(vKey);
        cxt.Response()->Write(_variant_t(" = "));
        cxt.Response()->Write(vItem);
        cxt.Response()->Write(_variant_t("<br/>"));
    }
}

IRequestDictionary * pDic;

_variant_t v;
cxt.Session()->get_Value( L"Juju", &v);
cxt.Response()->Write(v);


cxt.Request()->get_ServerVariables(&pDic);

if (pDic)
{
    int nCount = 0;

    pDic->get_Count(&nCount);

    for (int i = 0; i < nCount; ++i)
    {
        _variant_t vItem;
        _variant_t vIndex("Juju");
        _variant_t vKey;
        pDic->get_Key(vIndex, &vKey);
        pDic->get_Item(vIndex, &vItem);

        cxt.Response()->Write(vKey);
        cxt.Response()->Write(_variant_t(" = "));
        cxt.Response()->Write(vItem);
        cxt.Response()->Write(_variant_t("<br/>"));
    }
}

and while it can pull out a session ID if I ask it to, and the response stuff works fine, I simply cannot get my hands on the variables I have shoved into the session. Does anyone have any ideas ?

So which lines are not working as you'd expect? Are you getting the value for "Juju" back in this line: cxt.Session()->get_Value( L"Juju", &v);?

I don't think you're gonna get Juju's value out of the bottom for loop. There you're looping through the SERVER variables -- the ones from the HTTP header, which look like this: AUTH_TYPE, CONTENT_LENGTH, REMOTE_ADDR, SERVER_PORT.

Also, I'd recommend creating variables like request and response at the top of the code. Something like this:

IRequest request = cxt.Request();<br />
IResponse response = cxt.Response();

Then you can just do response.Write(...), which seems more efficient and easier to read.

The first collection is empty, that's the one I expect to contain the session variables.

No, I am getting VT_EMPTY back. My test string is rendered in my page, but I cannot get ahold of the session variable, which I create in the asp like this

Session("Juju") = "The Dog Faced Boy"

Alvaro Mendez wrote:

I didn't expect to - I want the session ID as well. The one that is called ASPSESSIONID with garbage after it. Instead I am getting a load of = signs, there are a lot of values there, but I cannot figure how to pull them out. I put 'Juju' in there as an act of desperation, but I was populating that variant with the index of my for loop and expected to be able to iterate through the keys that way, it does not work.

Thanks for helping me with this.

get__NewEnum problem.

I have a couple of different COM interfaces, including IRequestDictionary, the problem with all is the same. They have a get__NewEnum method which supposedly gives me a 'for each' type iteration over the container, but which I cannot get to work and the MSDN docs are woeful. Does anyone have any suggestions ?

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

9-Dec-02 22:18

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

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

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.
