Registering file types that aren't doc/view types

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!

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.

HURGENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 ?????????????????????????????????????????????????
Confused | :confused:

_____________________________________________________________
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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess it must be trying to put 1,000. "," is not an integer. What Michael Dunn is suggesting is to uncheck that option.

I have a button on a dialog bar, what needs to be done to activate it so it can be clicked?

This is the first time creating a GUI in C++. I have my dialog bar, and want to be able to create message handlers, and edit text in the text boxes, check items....etc in my controls in the dialog bar. Do I need link my dialog bar to a class who's base class is CDialog and access the controls through there....or how else do I got about it?

I was unable to set/clear check buttons either....

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.

How can I transfert a value from a editbox from a TAB page to a DialogBox ?

Hi,

I would like to know how can I do for transfert a data from a editbox in a TAB PAGE (CTabCtrl) to a dialogbox.

I make this but nothing:

TabPage1 :
EditBox : CString m_edit1;

DialogBox (where the CTabCtrl is) :
EditBox : CString m_edit2;
Button : "handler" CLICK : UpdateData(TRUE);

I create a member variable for the TABPAGE1 :
CTabPage1 m_TabPage1;

Now I can in the DialogBox receive normaly the data from the m_edit1 with this:

m_edit2 = m_TabPage1.m_edit1;
UpdateData(FALSE);

But nothing.

And I make with the pointer to the Class from TabPage1:

CTabPage1 *m_TabPage1;
for TabPage1

and for the DialogBox :

m_edit2 = m_tabPage1->m_edit1;
UpdateData(FALSE);

But nothing.

Please help me for this.

Exception Question

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.. Smile | :)

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?)

mfc text editor

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

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.

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.

If you create a MFC App doc/view project with the App Wizard and select CRichEditView as the base class for the view in the final step, you will get a fairly functional text editor - might be all you need!

Re: Thanks!!! all of you :)

yeh i know, but its a dialog based app so...

You could use this code to pull your string from the text box and dump it to a file..

CFile fileEditText;
//Write the edit box text to a file
if (fileEditText.Open("text.txt",
	CFile::modeCreate + CFile::modeWrite))
{
		//Write out the full string
		fileEditText.Write((LPCSTR)m_edit,m_edit.GetLength());

		//Close the file
		fileEditText.Close();
}

Hope this helps
