I would like to make a shortcut key combination to output test.
I have not had any luck finding any example code.
I know how to send text to the clipboard, but I have 4 sets of different text
that I want to use.
For example Ctrl Alt I would send "PPPPP is a good plan" to a storage area where I could
do a Shift Insert to place the text in an open document.
I have a list of Windows Shortcut keys so I would not "tromp" over those combinations.
Can someone help me?
Thanks.

Here is something you could try.
Use RegisterHotKey to register the shortcut keys.
Remember to specify a handle to a window as the first parameter.
When the windows receives the WM_HOTKEY message, use WM_SETTEXT to send a text to the active window.
You can use GetForegroundWindow to get the window with which the user is currently working.

I have been doing MFC coding. I am learning to do some STL lately, which Template project is the best for STL coding? is it ATL?
Thanks

(If I got you) You may do whatever project you like (even MFC!) using profitably the STL library.
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

Yes. Even though I did some STL, vectors and Lists coding within MFC, I ran into no problems there. However, I do see on the web lots of talk about not mixing the two up, so I was wondering about the ideal situation for STL.
Thank you

There might be some situations where you need to use a MFC collection because an existing MFC API needs it, but that's quite rare.
In general, STL is very friendly with different kind of C++ environments.
Watched code never compiles.

Any C++ project will do fine.
No need for ATL.
you just have to include necessary headers in stdafx.h.

STL is the C++ Standard Template Library and it offers a number of useful facilities for coding in C++. It has no connection with either MFC or ATL, both of which are concerned with Windows Programming. Spend some time learning STL and how to apply it to your applications, whether they are console, ATL Windows, Win32 Windows or MFC Windows.

All good answers. I will spend some time learning STL.

Other than CString (and not std::string) I use STL for everything else.
std::string is terribly bad!
For non-MFC project, you just need to include atlstr.h for CString (no DLL required).

I'd be interested to know why, especially as I do not have access to MFC.

For one, it does not support direct conversion to plain C-style strings. You must call set of methods. It does not support Format/sprintf type of functions, not methods to convert to upper/lower, methods to trim, convert from Unicode/ANSI string and things that should be part of a good "string manipulation class". See wxString, which I prefer over CString!

Which is good, because it saves you from a whole class of subtle bugs. Explicit conversion is always better than implicit.
Having said that, I don't like std::string either - it is an example of monolithic design[^]. But that does not mean CString is any better.

Heard of this umpteen number of times, but doesn't appease me at all. I am using a string-class for string, a text, and in C/C++ code it is supposed to mix with C-Style strings. The conversion is implicit to C-string and not from a C-string. You cannot assign a CString to char*/wchar_t*, the compiler wont be happy. If you say you can put into const char*, and then do forceful conversion, then my friend, you are placing the so called "bug" by yourself.
I mean, what a vector<char> would be called other than std::string? A good string-class must have string operations. Even in case, I wont have access to CString, I would write my own string-class, or download code written by some expert, instead of using this absurd std::string!

Any better, compared to what?

I tend to use the console application template and start by removing everything I don't want, so CLR support, stdafx.h etc...

if you want to use std::string, the best way to get into that is to redefine your string type with something like this:
typedef std::basic_string<tchar, std::char_traits<tchar="">, std::allocator<tchar> > tstring;
typedef std::basic_stringstream<tchar, std::char_traits<tchar="">, std::allocator<tchar> > tstringstream;
using it you dont have to worry if using unicode or ansy character sets
it's really useful!

Visual Studio 2010, Windows 7 645 bit.
Objective: Create a CMap Object, store info and retrieve later.
We have (out of context):
typedef CMap<int, int, DWORD*, DWORD*> map_OpenObj;
........................................................................................
map_OpenObj* p_mapObj = NULL;
p_map = new p_mapObj;
........................................................................................
nIdx = some integer;
p_dwObj = (DWORD*)(pointer to some object);
m_pOpenObjMap->SetAt(nIdx, p_dwObj);
.......................................................................................
The above compiles, links and executes without incident with one exception. Later in the application I have:
int nCount = 0;
POSITION posPos = NULL;
nCount = m_pOpenObjMap->GetCount();
posPOS = m_pOpenObjMap->GetStartPosition();
I get nCount = 1, which I would have expected, however posPOS comes back = 0xffffffff, which it shouldn't. This has worked before under Visual Studio 2008. Note: In the application, m_pOpenObjMap will never see ARG or ARG_KEY contain the same values.
The question is what am I doing incorrectly? Any thoughts?
Thanks, Barry

These words in the documentation[^]
The iteration sequence is not predictable; therefore, the "first element in the map" has no special significance.
look interesting.

Please allow me to take this to the next level. The map is used to hold class pointers cast to (DWORD)*. When retrieved (CMap->Lookup(...)), they are cast back to theit original type and used. The number of elements at any given point in time in the map varies depending upon how many classes have been created or destroyed. When the application closes, the remaining map entries are cast back to their original pointers then deleted; the map is then destroyed. Obviously, if I just destroy the map, I am left with memory leaks of varying classes.
The question occurs when I am down to just one map entry and it is time to close the application and destroy the last pointer cast DWORD*. How do I retrieve the last remaining item in the map?

What do you mean by proxy aware?
What can your applications not do now that it used to do before?
|
|
|
|
|
by proxy aware i meant to say that the application should detect proxy setting from computer.
I'll try CInternetSession. The third parameter i.e., Access Type Parameter Value INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG should do the work.
Future Lies in Present.
