Where's that piece of rope when I need it ?
Here's the rope: "Mouse capture is also affected by the Windows 95 and Windows NT localized input queues.... If the mouse is captured while the mouse button is up, the window receives mouse input only as long as the mouse is over that window or another window created by the same thread."
".
From C++ QA by Paul Dilascia, MSJ, Dec'98.

Have you tried the BY_POSITION property?
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry, should be "MF_BYPOSITION"

what are the valid colours RGB Values for a 256 colour mode in VC++ How would you traverse from BLUE to RED traversing All the remaining colours thanks
Vijay
|
|
|
|
|
In 256 color mode, each color is represented by an 8 bit value. That value is an index into the color palette. Whatever the palette is set to for that index will be the "valid" color for that index. If you want to traverse from blue to red, you can create the color palette with 256 colors RGB( 255,0,0) to RGB(0,0,255 ), and than display them. Be careful though!

I am trying to write a program that will backup/restore registry settings to/from a file. I have found that RegSaveKey and RegRestoreKey need administrative privileges in order to work. This is of no use to me as it needs to be used by everyone.
Firstly, does anybody know how to get round such a problem I have tampered with the security descriptor and Enabled backup and restore privileges but despite my efforts I keep getting the WinError - "1314 A required privilege is not held by the client."
Secondly, does anybody know how to manually iterate though a desired regkey and all its subkeys (e.g. HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software) and then load or save each subkey from/to a file to/from the registry. Such a scenerio I think will get round this privilege problem
Thanks in advance. Any contribution welcome.

Use regedit to do it. Something like:
char szTmpPath[MAX_PATH];
char szTmpFile[MAX_PATH];
HANDLE hRegEditHnd;
// get a name of a temp file.
status=GetTempPath( sizeof(szTmpPath), szTmpPath );
status=GetTempFileName( szTmpPath,"REG",0,szTmpFile );
// format args
strcpy (szArgs,"/e ");
strcat (szArgs,szTmpFile);
strcat (szArgs," \"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\"");
hRegEditHnd= (DWORD) ShellExecute( NULL, "open",
"regedit.exe", szArgs ,
NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL );
That will save the specified key into a standard registry file in the (guaranteed unique) file specified by szTmpFile.
You should check the status's.

I'm using ado to join data in excel. but when i run my application i have a message box which appears where it's written the following message:"database erroritem cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal". I use the jet oledb 4.0 to find my filename:"provider=microsoft.jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=%s;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;","test.xls" and after to find the table name: table_name=pRstSchema->Fields->GetItem("TABLE_NAME")->Value;(where pRstSchema is a _RecordsetPtr smart pointer.
The TABLE_NAME is simply selected cells (A1:B10) I have called like that with the small edit box on the left top of the excel worksheet!
If someone could tell me why it doesn't work...

If you want to use winsock have a look at the GlobChat sample that comes with the Platform SDK (can also be found at MSDN).
It's a multiprotocol chat server that shows how to set up the basic structure of a winsock client/server application.

Does anyone know where I can find some tutorials on how to create a side control panel. A side control panel like the one found on MS-Paint. There is a Dialog like control that is attached to the left or right side of the main view.

|
|
|
|
Yes I'm using MFC. Will CDialogBar create a Side menu like device on the side of my main window.

I would like to create a CBitmap object from a DC, then draw the bitmap on each successive repaint rather than doing all the drawing stuff again (there is quite a lot, which is why I want to use this approach).
So, I know how to blit the CBitmap back to the DC each time the window is repainted, but I don’t know how to copy the stuff I’ve drawn to the DC into the CBitmap. How would I do this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Yours,
James Millson

Once I've create a function CopyBitmap(..) to copy a bitmap form one to another. Note that it does not work on all kind of bitmaps (eg 32-bits not ). You should be able to find the way to copy the image from your DC to a CBitmap. Hint: iso SourceDC use your own pointer to DC in the function BitBlt(..). Have fun!
Kit
BOOL
CBetterBitmap::CopyBitmap
(
CBitmap* pbmpSource, // IN: Source bitmap
CBitmap* pbmpDest // OUT: Target bitmap
)
{
BOOL bResult = FALSE;
// Invalid source bitmap
ASSERT(pbmpSource != NULL);
// pbmpDest must point to an existing CBitmap instance
ASSERT(pbmpDest != NULL);
ASSERT(pbmpDest->GetSafeHandle() == NULL);
// Quick pointer verification
if ( (pbmpSource != NULL) &&
(pbmpDest != NULL) )
{
BITMAP bmp;
pbmpSource->GetBitmap(&bmp);
// First copy the bitmap information
if (pbmpDest->CreateBitmapIndirect(&bmp))
{
CDC SourceDC;
CDC DestDC;
// Now copy the bitmap via display compatible DC's
if ( (SourceDC.CreateCompatibleDC(NULL) != FALSE) &&
(DestDC.CreateCompatibleDC(NULL) != FALSE) )
{
CBitmap* pbmpPrevSrc = SourceDC.SelectObject(pbmpSource);
CBitmap* pbmpPrevDest = DestDC.SelectObject(pbmpDest);
bResult = DestDC.BitBlt(0, // Source Left
0, // Source Top
bmp.bmWidth, // Source Width
bmp.bmHeight, // Source Height
&SourceDC, // Source DC
0, // Target Left
0, // Target Top
SRCCOPY); // Raster Operation
DestDC.SelectObject(pbmpPrevSrc);
SourceDC.SelectObject(pbmpPrevDest);
}
}
}
// Return result
return bResult;
}

If you've got a DC and you want to copy it to a CBitmap, just select the CBitmap into another DC and Blt across.
