Hi,
I have recently learned VC++ and am looking to contribute towards VC++ projects for free. This would help me get some experience in real life projects, please do not hesitate to contact me at tiglic_acid@yahoo.ca .
Appreciate it. Thanks

Sure check out:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vcf[^]
I'm always looking for people to help out.
Of course this may not be what you are looking for, but hey, it's worth a shot!
Plus I give a free trip in the Batmobile at the end of the month to all the team members.

You can use string substitution while your app startup
I am seeking...
For what?
Why did you ask me for what? I don't know!

I have an application that I really want to move a good portion of the code out into a dll. This is all code that is static and will not change over over the life of the application and contains mostly static data (strings and such).
I know what I want to do, but I can't figure out how to write the dll correctly to be able to access the one exported function. Does anyone have any good books that you would recommend to assist me in understanding the process of creating the dll, then the code needed to be able to use the exported function.
Thanks for the help,
-Eric
PS
I have tried understanding the help files in evc++ and msdn about using _declspec but when I attempt to use GetProcAddress() I always get NULL returned.

make you public header for your function(s)
foo.h
#ifndef _FOO_H__
#define _FOO_H__
#ifdef USE_MY_LIBRARY
#define MY_LIB_API __declspec(dllimport)
#else
#define MY_LIB_API __declspec(dllexport)
#endif
#extern "C" {
MY_LIB_API void MyFunc( int aValue );
}
#endif
implement the function in some file that is compiled for your DLL
say
Foo.c
#include "Foo.h"
void MyFunc( int aValue )
{
//do something
}
when you compile the DLL make sure that USE_MY_LIBRARY is NOT defined. this will ensure that you are using the __declspec(dllexport) form of the function and will automatically export the function for you.
You should end up with a DLL that exports a single function (assuming these are the only files). The extern "C" guarantees that you will not have name mangling.
You can use the DLL with either LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress(), which is the hard way, or you can make sure that your DLL project emits a .lib file and in the project that uses the DLL, link with this .lib file. If you choose the latter method, make sure that USE_MY_LIBRARY is defined.
Cheers and hope this helps

Another way of doing it would be for you to learn COM+ wich is the standard that Microsoft uses for Dll's.
I find COM+ the easiest way of doing it. Preferably by using ATL but you can do it with MFC aswell.
Any respectible book about MFC or ATL would do for you. Just make sure that the MFC book contains chapters about COM/Automation/OLE.

I have a list box, and want the user to be able to search by typing, for example "pagescan" and have it match the first instance of "Read_Page_Scan_Enable" or "Write_Page_Scan_Enable". To accomplish this, I specified the LBS_WANTKEYBOARDINPUT style for the list box. In the WinProc for the parent window, I handle WM_VKEYTOITEM to build up a buffer of recent keys (with a timeout) and do a customized comparison (ignore case, ignore underscores, if not present in user-typed text, ignore Set_, Read_, Write_ in the list item text). I find the first match, or if none, consider the item at index 0 to match. I send an LB_SETCURSEL message to select the item, and dutifully return -2 from WinProc. The documentation for WM_VKEYTOITEM states:
"A return value of –2 indicates that the application handled all aspects of selecting the item and requires no further action by the list box."
And yet... If I type "pages" everything functions for p,a,g,e and I see the search narrow to the proper item (none of those letters are present as the first letter of any of the strings for any items in the list) but as soon as I type the S key (there is an item starting with S), the list box jumps to the first string starting with S!!! That is so completely screwed up...I think NT stands for "Not Tested"...does anyone know a workaround for this?
Thanks in advance,
Brian

I did find a workaround, but it isn't very nice...here it is:
SendMessage( (HWND)m_commands_list, LB_SETCURSEL, matching_index, 0);
m_windows_suck_workaround = true;
Then way back out in WinMain, in the Translate/Dispatch loop:
if(msg.message == WM_CHAR && m_windows_suck_workaround)
{
m_windows_suck_workaround = false;
continue;
}
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
It's actually not quite as indicated because of the objects involved (the m_ prefix betrays the fact that it's a member variable in an MDIChildWindow_t subclass but the above code shows the gist of it.
The question still stands, but I'll rephrase it as does anyone know a more appropriate workaround?
Thanks,
Brian

ummmmm have u tried trapping the pretranslatemsg() for the dialog and filtering there too to stop the default listbox behaviour?
just a thought

Is there any way not to save the data at once. I would like to have a Ok and a Cancel button and not save the data till they hit ok.
Is there a way of doing this with a CDataGrid in VC++ 6.0.
thanks

can i use WM_TIMER and SetTimer without a Thread?

can somebody give me an example?
thanks

No. On the other hand, without a thread you don't have any code running, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Perhaps your question is if you can use SetTimer and handle WM_TIMER messages in the main thread? In that case the answer is an obvious Yes. For examples, please look it up yourself. MSDN, Google, even CodeProject itself contains lots of example code.

Hello,
I'am doing a mfc dialog based program. In this one, I have a settings dialog box that should allow the user to select somethings through check boxes. The problem is that I've a lot of checkbox in this dialog (18 check box even more later!).
I wanted to do array of controls in my settings dialog box (just like in VB). In order to do that I've short-circuited Class wizard to create an array of CButton member variables but I still have to enumerate each variable for each ID of each control with the DDX_Control(...) macro.
There is also another problem.
If the member variable is defined like this:
CButton m_variable1;
I can use the following statement:
m_variable1.SetCheck();
But if I use the following declaration:
CButton m_variable[18];
m_variable[0].SetCheck();
I'have a assertion failed.
Can somebody give me a smart way to do such array of control?
Thanks a lot.
T. Varidel

The smart alternative: A list box of checkboxes, via the CCheckListBox class.

You can do something like this:
CButton* pButton[] =
{
&m_chk1,
&m_chk2,
&m_chk3,
&m_chk4,
};
pButton[n]->DoSomething();
or
UINT array[] =
{
IDC_CONTROL1,
IDC_CONTROL2,
IDC_CONTROL3,
IDC_CONTROL4,
};
GetDlgItem(array[n)->DoSomething();
or use collection classes or STL;
header file:
vector<cwnd*> m_wnds;
then add your controls
int OInitDialog:
m_wnds.push_back(&m_chk1);
m_wnds.push_back(&m_chk2;
m_wnds.push_back(&m_chk3);
m_wnds.push_back(&m_chk4);
m_wnds.at(i)->DoSomething();

Redesign your app. 18 checkboxes in one dialog is just too much.
And use a listview, a tree with checkboxes, whatever.
I don't think this is a serious possesion, and the evil most likely comes from your hand. Colin J Davies, The Lounge

I've created a dialog application in MSVC++ on an NT platform. Within the application I'm making periodic system calls to invoke the execution of a bat file. Every time the system call is made a MS Dos Command prompt window displaying cmd.exe in the title bar appears then disappears(quite annoying). Is there a way of disabling this behavior, or is there another call that can be made to invoke the bat file without the creation of the Dos window.

CreateProcess with CREATE_NO_WINDOW flag
|
|
|
|
|
One solution is SW_HIDE and CreateProcess().
STARTUPINFO si;
si.wShowWindow = SW_HIDE;
::CreateProcess(...);

CreateProcess is the official way, but if you just need a quick alternative,
WinExec("whatever.exe", SW_HIDE);

i have made a little wrapper [in C#] for using windows hooks. When i came to test it, I found that it works on local hooks, butnot system wide hooks. i set the threadID to 0 as msdn instructs, but it doesnt work, so I was wondering if there are any special permissions needed to do such a thing. [i am using Windows Xp Pro]

Well thats a bit stupid if you ask me. is that the SetWindowsHookEx call - or the callback in the dll?
