I would like to display the standard hand pointer cursor over some buttons that are just images, and don't really look like buttons. I remember hearing that someone was able to read the graphic from some Windows DLL, and then use that as a resource instead of having to create their own. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this or could you point me to an article that has this?

No need to read any graphics from a DLL. LoadCursor(hInstance, IDC_HAND) is one way to acquire the hand pointer.
Do you implement these buttons yourself? If so, you could specify the hand pointer when you register the window class. If you don't register a new window class, I guess you could track the mouse cursor movements in and out of the button and use SetCursor appropriately.

Also another note is, set the cursor to be used in the WM_SETCURSOR message handler, not in WM_MOUSEMOVE etc as you get a flickering cursor as it switches between the default and WM_MOUSEMOVE one.

Wow, you have no idea how simple you made this for me! I had done something like this by subclassing my buttons and using WM_MOUSEMOVE but now everything is much nicer. I am curious though if my subclassing is causing a memory leak:
LRESULT CALLBACK ButtonProc(HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
HCURSOR hCursorRHand = LoadCursor(hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDC_REDHAND));
switch(message)
{
case WM_SETCURSOR:
SetCursor(hCursorRHand);
return TRUE;
}
return CallWindowProc(DefButtonProc, hwnd, message, wParam, lParam);
}
The fact that I am calling LoadCursor and no DestroyCursor is that causing a leak because MSDN says there is no need to call DestroyCursor (or at least this is how I interpreted it). If it is causing a leak, where would I put DestroyCursor in this function?

You probably do have a resource leak in your code. You need to do LoadCursor() just the once and store the handle somewhere to re-use, as it is your leaking 1 cursor resource everytime the procedure is called.
I had some code a while back that was leaking icons, the results were very bad after a short period of time.

I am confused on the matter actually, MSDN states that LoadCursor will not load the cursor if it has already been loaded but that sounds fishy to me. I was also thinking to call DestroyCursor just before the function returns. I think that would probably take care of every LoadCursor call wouldn't it?

I have seen source code on creating region information from BMP's by making one color transparent.
Is there any code available which can create regions to be used in skins from transparent png etc files.

Hi guys,
I have a MDI App without doc/view. The App start with 4 child windows open in Cascade. I would like them to open with "Tile" Style. How can I do that?
Thanks.

Hello all. I'd like to use something that approximates a Class Specific #define without using namespaces, static const's or enums. Actually enums in the class would be good except some of the defines are floating point numbers.
1 header file has #define MAX_LASER_POWER 23.3, another has #define MAX_LASER_POWER 44.0
Anybody have a clever way to elegantly encapsolate these defines?
Thanks in advance!
|
|
|
|

Well, you could try this:
class A
{
public:
static const double MAX_LASER_POWER;
};
[EDIT] Oops, I forgot the "const".
const double A::MAX_LASER_POWER = 23.3;
class B
{
public:
static const double MAX_LASER_POWER;
};
[EDIT] Oops, I forgot the "const".
const double B::MAX_LASER_POWER = 44.0;
You will get basically the same results as using a #define since they are const.

I want to write an SNMP extension agent for one of my applications, that run on a Windows 2000 server.
How do i return an array of values in a GET or GETNEXT request?
I made an MIB that looks like this:
What does the extension agent say when it gets a request for
enterprises.radical.software.apps.radicalserver.radicalserverinstance.serverconnections
since it actually points to a list of connection objects
Also how is the members of the connections array accessed. Is it like
enterprises.radical.software.apps.radicalserver.radicalserverinstance.serverconnections.0
enterprises.radical.software.apps.radicalserver.radicalserverinstance.serverconnections.1
etc....

I have some code that does great:
CMenu* mmenu = ((CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd())->GetMenu();
int pos = ((CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd())->FindMenuItem(mmenu, "test dyn");
CMenu* submenu = mmenu->GetSubMenu(pos);
pos = ((CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd())->FindMenuItem(submenu, "junk");
CMenu * flyOutMenu;
flyOutMenu->CreatePopupMenu();
<code>flyOutMenu->AppendMenu(MF_STRING, 0, "From View 1 butto");
pos = ((CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd())->FindMenuItem(submenu, "junk");
submenu->ModifyMenu(pos,MF_BYPOSITION|MF_POPUP,(int)(flyOutMenu->m_hMenu),"&File");
submenu->AppendMenu(MF_POPUP,(int)(flyOutMenu->m_hMenu),"&File1");</code>
Now if I replace the section in red by the foll. it crashes at flyOutMenu->CreatePopupMenu();!!!!! It doesnt even get to the replacement code. What have I done wrong?
CBKDoc * pDoc = (CBKDoc *)GetDocument();
DynaMenuMap::iterator itDyn = (pDoc->dynaMenuMap).begin();
for (; itDyn != (pDoc->dynaMenuMap).end(); itDyn++)
{
char * tempDyn;
CString tempCDyn = (*itDyn).first;
tempDyn = new char [tempCDyn.GetLength() + 1];
strcpy(tempDyn, tempCDyn);
SubMenuSet& subMenuSet = (pDoc->dynaMenuMap)[tempCDyn];
SubMenuSet::iterator itSub = subMenuSet.begin();
for (; itSub != subMenuSet.end(); itSub++)
{
char * tempSub;
CString tempCSub = *itSub;
tempSub = new char [tempCSub.GetLength() + 1];
strcpy(tempSub, tempCSub);
flyOutMenu->AppendMenu(MF_STRING, 0, tempSub);
delete tempSub;
}
if ( itDyn == pDoc->dynaMenuMap.begin())
{
submenu->ModifyMenu(pos,MF_BYPOSITION|MF_POPUP,(int)(flyOutMenu->m_hMenu),tempDyn);
}
else
{
submenu->AppendMenu(MF_POPUP,(int)(flyOutMenu->m_hMenu),tempDyn);
}
}

I'm pretty darn sure this is not good:
<br />
CMenu * flyOutMenu; <br />
flyOutMenu->CreatePopupMenu();<br />
since "flyOutMenu" is a pointer that is uninitialized  . To fix, rename variable to "pFlyOutMenu" to indicate and remind you it is a pointer  ... and change code to:
<br />
CMenu * pFlyOutMenu = new CMenu; <br />
if (pFlyOutMenu)<br />
{<br />
pFlyOutMenu->CreatePopupMenu();<br />
:<br />
:<br />
:<br />
pFlyOutMenu->DestroyMenu();<br />
delete pFlyOutMenu;<br />
}<br />
I could be wrong of course......

I have a project and it has two views (same document template used for both). The CBKView1 class has a GetDocument (MFC wrote it), and CBKView2 does not have this function.
YET the code compiles if I do
CBKDoc * pDoc = (CBKDoc *)GetDocument();
in CBKView2 class!!!!!!
Is this not most peculiar? It actually works too. How can this be?
Appreciate your help,

GetDocument() just makes use of the pView->m_pDocument member variable. It could also be that the function is defined in a base class (CView etc) so that you don;t need to add it yourself.

Remember a while ago, when I was telling you to define this "GetDocument" function in your CBKView2? This is partially why.

Indeed I do remember your words and did implement them. It just puzzled me greatly that it worked even if I didnt add GetDocument to CBKVIew2 as well. But yes, as soon as i ran into this facet...........needing the pDoc pointer in the second view, I immediately remembered your post (which is cut and pasted in my hints.doc collection of CP resolutions).

I have a dynamic submenu being created under a toplevel menu. THese submenus have no ID since I dont know how many there are. So to write handlers for these when clicked, it seems , can be achieved by capturing WM_MENUCOMMAND. BUt I havent figured out how to do this. If it were a resource with ID_MENU_A, then I could of course write the COMMAND handler for it> But I am rather lost in utilizing WM_MENUCOMMAND:
How to trrap it?
What all needs to be added to the code to get this to work?
THanks,
Appreciate your help,

You may perhaps not know a specific value, but perhaps can you know the range of the IDs.
ON_COMMAND_RANGE(ID_MENU_START, ID_MENU_END, OnMenuRange)<br />
ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI_RANGE(ID_MENU_START, ID_MENU_END, OnUpdateMenuRange)

The menu keeps getting redone all the time. Lets say I have a maximum of 200 items I could possibly want. Then
if I put ID_MENU_START = 5000, and ID_MENU_END = ID_MENU_START + 200
(BTW how does one decide what number to assign to ID_MENU_START?)
Then if at a certain time I have only 50 menu items and I click one, then will the function OnMenuRange run without crashing?
i.e since the remaining 150 dont exist is that a problem?
The other question is: what if I needed a different handler to run for each menu item? ? I have no IDs
