Re: transparent static control problems Michael Dunn12-Jul-01 12:39 Michael Dunn 12-Jul-01 12:39  Invalidate the control after changing the text, so the entire control will repaint. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ Push the button, Frank. Re: transparent static control problems stephen.hazel12-Jul-01 13:04 stephen.hazel 12-Jul-01 13:04  Rats. Didn't work after all... I'm doin this: ::SendMessage (statctl, WM_SETTEXT, (WPARAM) 0, (LPARAM) txt); ::InvalidateRect (statctl, NULL, TRUE); I would think that SendMessage would already invalidate the whole control...? Either the background ain't gettin erased by the dialog's WM_ERASEBKGND or the control is getting it's draw messages messed up or somethin??? One last thing - should I be invalidating the whole dialog when I need to change the static's text? Thanks for the help tho! I could send you my src if that'll help... ...SteveH http://hazels.freeservers.com Re: transparent static control problems 12-Jul-01 14:10 12-Jul-01 14:10  Did you try to call UpdateWindow(statctl); after that?? Mh2! Registering file types that aren't doc/view types 12-Jul-01 11:33 12-Jul-01 11:33  Here’s my scenario: I have an application that can save/load project files. I want to be able to register the icon and file extension (*.kkp) with the system so that you can open them directly from within Explorer, and have my app load, but not try to load the project as a document. Instead, I need to be able to detect the file is a project file and then handle it myself. I know this is possible – I even managed to do it in a previous app I was working on, but now I can’t remember how to do it. Can anybody help? Yours, Peter P.S. Sorry for posting this again, but it got buried under a whole load of other questions as soon as In asked it! Re: Registering file types that aren't doc/view types Michael Dunn12-Jul-01 15:13 Michael Dunn 12-Jul-01 15:13  All Explorer does is run your app with the filename as a command line parameter (or whatever you set in the ...\shell\open\command key). How you handle things once you get the filename is up to you. There's nothing requiring you to handle the file as a document. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ Sometimes, arming yourself with a big pointy stake just won't do you any good. HURGENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 12-Jul-01 10:48 12-Jul-01 10:48  I have editBox (read only) with spin. the variable of the editBox is int in range 10 - 2000 and the range of the spin is same. and all is right. But when the user try to up the number in the editBox over 999 he gets a error messageBox: "Please enter an integer." WHY ????????????????????????????????????????????????? _____________________________________________________________ I ask you about it already and Michael Dann answer me so: Uncheck the No Thousands property of the spin control - this prevents the control from adding a thousands separator (period or comma) to the number. _____________________________________________________________ But I did not understand this answer. Please HELP Re: HURGENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 12-Jul-01 11:18 12-Jul-01 11:18  I guess it must be trying to put 1,000. "," is not an integer. What Michael Dunn is suggesting is to uncheck that option. Enabling a button.

Michael Dunn12-Jul-01 19:16 Michael Dunn 12-Jul-01 19:16  IE 5 already has this built-in. You can save a web page as an .MHT file, which contains everything on the page. If you need to do this programatically, look into the IE automation interface docs, and see if saving to .MHT via automation is supported. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ Sometimes, arming yourself with a big pointy stake just won't do you any good.

Carlos Antollini26-Sep-01 3:55 Carlos Antollini 26-Sep-01 3:55  Is, true, I don't have pardon. That is the problem of write directly into CodeProject.

Exception Question 12-Jul-01 8:07 12-Jul-01 8:07  I have just started using exceptions, catching both built in types and defined objects. However, as I see it it would be very rare that I actually have a use for doing this. There is always a way around it, usually just error checking. I recall from using java that there are special types defined such as ArrayOutOfBoundsException which you can catch- these types also have relevant methods inluded for diagnosing and working with the exception. Is there no similar concept apart from std::exception... Thanks in advance.. Re: Exception Question Tomasz Sowinski12-Jul-01 8:27 Tomasz Sowinski 12-Jul-01 8:27  There is always a way around it Not always. If you have a library that uses throw to report errors, your only solution is to use try and catch. And don't forget about operator new - it throws an exception when there's not enough memory to satisfy the request. Visual C++ is not up to standard in this area (yet) and will simply return NULL. Hopefully, they will fix this in VC 7 (any Beta2 user to comment on that?) Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com mfc text editor 12-Jul-01 7:49 12-Jul-01 7:49  hello, i really need urgent help with this problem, i look about everywhere but i just can't seem to find an mfc based texteditor program. The problem is this: i have a textbox and i declare a member variable for it as a CString. Now i have to write the text from this textbox to a file. just like that. i know this really can't be a problem for you guys so please post a quick response here. i can't use getwindowtext and all that because it works with HWND's and u know the mfc stuff is with CWnd. Thanks Kuniva Re: mfc text editor Carlos Antollini12-Jul-01 8:02 Carlos Antollini 12-Jul-01 8:02  You have two samples in the MSDN, One is the SUPERPAD, and the other one is MULTIPAD. If you have not the samples I can send you by e-mail. Cheers!!! Carlos Antollini.

Using MFC objects in no way prevents you from dropping down to the APIs. Call the GetSafeHwnd() method of any CWnd-derived object to get its window handle. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ Push the button, Frank. Thanks!!! all of you :) 12-Jul-01 9:29 12-Jul-01 9:29  hehe, i didn't go to the msdn library yet because i think its a huge mess but i guess if i look a bit i'll find it i'm a bit of a slacker u know :p Thanks alot for all your help!
