The COM1-COM9 is what we did and thought is was a big enough choice to connect a single device up, but we had a bug report that COM10 was missing. Hence I thought if I enumerate what is actually installed there should be no further debate.

Happy programming!!

hi everybody,

i made a couple customized commands on my menu. i bind all the event handlers to the commands and they work correctly.. when i was running/testing my program, i check out the debug/output windows and i noticed i keep on getting error warning messages on the commands that i defined.. can someone please tell me what does this message mean? altho it doesn't affect the functionality of the program, i want to know what does it mean exactly.. thx in advance..

the error message:

Warning: no message line prompt for ID 0x0098.

When your main frame has a status bar, MFC shows flyby help in the status bar for the selected menu item. The debug msg is saying that you don't have a flyby help string for the menu item with ID 0x98. You can set a help string by double-clicking the menu item in the menu editor, then filling in the "Prompt" field in the property sheet.

Easier Tab control?

Hi,

I have an application with many tab controls (and in many of them I have other sub-tab controls) and I feel that it is heavy/troublesome to create new tabs or to maintain the existing ones.
Is there a way where I could just edit new tab controls visualy without having to create a new dialog for its content everytime?

I imaging being able to add a tab control to my dialog. Then I would simply specify the labels for my different sheets and by clicking a specific label, its content would be displayed and editable.

Now I always have to create a new dialog for every tiny sheet, then programatically set up everything and see the result only when running the application.

Thanks for your help Smile | :)

hello @all,

i have a dialogbased program.
there a two buttons (eg. button1 and button2).
if i press button1 first i get a new dialog (ID_DIALOG_COMBO) with a combobox (m_ctrlComboBox).
if i press the button2 a CString (CString mystring) should be enterd into the combobox from the ID_DIALOG_COMBO.

how can i do this????
thank you very much

this is only an example, to explain the real background would be take to much time

Looks like you need a modeless dialog.

i would be happy if i could do this, but the real program is more complicated...

i must have to different buttons, because if you have not a right password (somewhere before) you cannot see the ID_DIALOG_COMBO

thanks sunny

I would create the dialog in a thread, use a CStringArray for the contents of the combo box and create a function to refresh the combo.

_beginthread( ShowDialog, 0, ID_DIALOG_COMBO );

LRESULT ShowDialog( LPVOID pVoid )
{
CDialog Dlg;
Dlg.Create( pVoid );
Dlg.DoModal();
return TRUE;
}

or

CMyDialog* pDlg = new CMyDialog;
pDlg->... // initialize members
_beginthread( ShowDialog, 0, (void*)pDlg );

LRESULT ShowDialog( LPVOID pVoid )
{
CDialog* pDlg = (CDialog*)pVoid ;
pDlg->DoModal();
delete pDlg;
return TRUE;
}

The pointer method is preferable because you can store the pointer(s) and control the dialog using these pointers. Make a function to refresh your combo and call it through any initialized pointers. Maybe use a CPtrArray.

Why is that Visual C++'s GUI knows about sqrt yet the compiler doesn't? Confused | :confused:

As I edit my source I typed in sqrt and as I start to
type in the paramters the GUI presents me with 3 different prototypes of sqrt ... I think cool Visual C++ knows about sqrt ... so I typed sqrt( myDouble ); as per
the GUI. Yet I get a compiler error? Dead | X|

Because the IDE searchs all the headers in the include paths, but the compiler requires that you include them. It's probably math.h, or cmath ( which, if it works, is preferred ). Also cmath may require you use std::sqrt. All of this is a guess, but I am pretty sure that math.h at least will be the right one, and it's certainly a missing #include.

My code looks kinda like this ...

#include "math.h"
#include "stdafx.h"
.
.
.
double BlahBlah::Blah_Abs ( double real, double img ) {
	double rc = real * real + img * img;
	return sqrt( rc );
}
.
.
.

Yet the compiler does not complain about not be able to find math.h in the include path so I must assume that VC++ knows about math.h and since the compiler errors on sqrt ( rc ); I guess that sqrt( double ) is not declared in math.h Confused | :confused:

Just to reiterate and add my voice to the cacophany, the intellisense parses all include paths, but the compiler will only compile if you actually include the bits you need in your code.

I suggest that it's a wise course of action when people answer your question to try the suggested solution before arguing about it.

My apologies - you didn't check the 'display message as is' option, nor did you use the buttons above the emoticons which would replace a < with a < and so on, making it show OK. As a result I presumed you were saying what you said in the first place, as did all the other people who replied.

I see you have edited the code now Blush | :O

Anything before stdafx.h is ignored. Move it down and it will work.

hi everybody,

i had a sdi project, based on treeview. i want to setup context popup menu in such way so that the popup menu only pops up whenever the user right click on a node of the tree, sorta like how the popup menu works in windows explorer. any suggestion is welcome.. thanx in advance.

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