Are you an Extreme fan, or did you come up with 'Politacalamity' independently of their brilliant 'three sides to every story' album ?

Hwo to handle "tab" to visually deisgnate have focus?

Hi,

I have an onwer drawn button. I have noticed that when I tab, I do not see that it has "focus." What do I have to handle ( message wise) and besides drawing the dotted focus rectangle in the Drawitem to make the button show that it has focus when I tab through the different windows?

Thanks.

A control needs to have the WS_TABSTOP style for it to be included in the tab order.

there are many articles on CodeProject that demonstrate this (look in the Files and Folders section, and, here's mine). or, if you want to do it yourself, you can use FindFirstFile or _findfirst.

But if I want to get the file names from only "C:\Pictures\MyNewPic" only... how can I specify a dir so all these findfile functions only searches one dir?

I can't explain better I think! Smile | :)

I assume you want this? sometimes I find I need to attach to the directory and not use a path.

hFind = FindFirstFile("C:\\Pictures\\MyNewPic\\*.*", &FindData);

bOK = (hFind != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE);
while(bOK)
{
bOK = FindNextFile(hFind, &m_FindData)
}

I want to make a proxy scaner, but I don't know how to open a socket.
I want to make connection to some computer and try to make a TCP/IP connection to a definite port. If I can connect to try whether It is a proxy server.

But I do not know how to make this in MFC.

Can someone help me?

CFile Question

John Clump14-Dec-02 20:09

14-Dec-02 20:09

Hi everyone. I have a question about the use of CFile. I have the code below, and the filename is that of a file which I have tested and determined exists, and is not shared. The file is an HTML file, and I want to take the contents of the HTML file (the text), and put it into a CString. The string will then be parsed and the hyperlinks extracted.

<br />
CFile cFile;<br />
CString strFileContents;<br />
<br />
cFile.Open(m_strFileName, CFile::modeRead | CFile::shareExclusive);<br />
cFile.Read(&strFileContents, cFile.GetLength());<br />
cFile.Close();<br />

The problem with the code above is that when the Read is performed, the program crashes. I tried using an old style C string in place of a CString, the data is read but a bunch of garbage chars are at the end of the string, and the program crashes when I hit Close(). Anyone know what I am doing wrong? I really want the file contents in a CString, because the necessary memory is allocated dynamically, and the CString Find functions are great for parsing.

Re: CFile Question

Trin214-Dec-02 22:13

First of all, you can't put the whole file in a single CString object.
You may try to read the file line by line.
You do not use the Read function correctly, first parameter is the block you read, the second is the size of that block. Usualy used for reading a binnary file.

Good Luck!

CSting doesn't allocated anything till you initialize it.
Since you didn't allocated, you got crash.
Change your code to the following:

cFile.Read(strFileContents.GetBuffer(SIZE), cFile.GetLength());

After finishing working with the string call
strFileContents.ReleaseBuffer();

CSimpleArray ?

14-Dec-02 19:35

Excuse me.
Today,I study the WTL Library's CSimpleArray class source code,I find the following code:

<code>template<class T>
class CSimpleArray
{
      T* m_aT;
      ...

	class Wrapper
	{
	public:
		Wrapper(T& _t) : t(_t)
		{
		}
		template <class _Ty>
		void *operator new(size_t, _Ty* p)
		{
			return p;
		}
		T t;
	};
	void SetAtIndex(int nIndex, T& t)
	{

		new(&m_aT[nIndex]) Wrapper(t);
	}
   ...
}</code>

I can not understand the syntax about "new(&m_aT[nIndex]) Wrapper(t)" Confused | :confused:

,anyone can explain it? thanks first.

It's called placement new. You're executing the Wrapper-constructor on an already allocated memory block.
