David,
When MFC controls exhibit strange behavior I always take a look at the source code for the control located in the \VC\atlmfc\src\mfc installation path.
If you look at the Microsoft implementation within afxmaskededit.cpp you will find that the CMFCMaskedEdit class handles the WM_GETTEXTLENGTH,WM_GETTEXT and WM_SETTEXT messages overriding the default CWnd behavior. The CMFCMaskedEdit class is actually returning the length of an internal CString buffer in response to the WM_GETTEXTLENGTH message.
Therefore the Microsoft documentation that states: 'EN_CHANGE notification code is sent when the user has taken an action that may have altered text in an edit control. Unlike the EN_UPDATE notification code, this notification code is sent after the system updates the screen.' would not apply to this particular window class.
Unfortunately you will have to implement something outside the box here. A couple of ideas:
Option [1] Highlight all of the code in afxmaskededit.cpp and afxmaskededit.h and copy/paste into DavidCrowsMaskedEdit new class and change/improve the behavior.
Option [2] You could override PreTranslateMessage and check for the WM_KEYUP message belonging to the CMFCMaskedEdit control. Once the control has recieved this message... the CMFCMaskedEdit should have updated its internal buffer because it does its filtering in response to the WM_CHAR message. Note that this method will not handle copy/cut/paste from the clipboard so your mileage may vary.
BOOL YourMaskDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
if(WM_KEYUP == pMsg->message)
{
if(::GetDlgCtrlID(pMsg->hwnd) == m_YourMaskEdit.GetDlgCtrlID())
{
int iLength = m_YourMaskEdit.GetWindowTextLength();
if(iLength)
{
CString str;
m_YourMaskEdit.EnableGetMaskedCharsOnly(TRUE);
m_YourMaskEdit.GetWindowText(str);
str.Remove(_T('_'));
BOOL UserAddedText = str.GetLength();
}
}
}
return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}
Option [3] You could actually get the window text or text length in your WM_CTLCOLOR handler. Something like:
HBRUSH YourMaskDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
if(pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == m_YourMaskEdit.GetDlgCtrlID())
{
}
return hbr;
}
I know it seems like a complete hack... by looking at window text in the WM_CTLCOLOR handler but that is actually how Dr. Joseph Newcomer did it in his old validating CEdit class.
That is really all I can think of for solving your problem. To be honest I generally avoid many of the MFC classes... I usually reinvent the wheel... because sometimes my wheels are more round. And if my new wheel ends up square... well at least I learned something in the process. 
Best Wishes,

I made a Windows Listview control that show the contents of a folder, so the user can select the file to open.
My Listview has 4 columns, the first is filename, which can be a folder or app. In front of the name, for cosmetics, I want to show the icon. So if it's a folder, the folder icon, and the name of the folder appears.
Question:
Am I even on the right track here, using SHGetFileInfo to get the folder icon from Shell32.dll, and how to load the result in an ImageList, so I can program the 1st column with the icon in the image list. I could actually use a little help here on writing the code.
hr = SHGetFileInfo( L"Shell32.dll", 0, &siFolderIcon_Small, sizeof( siFolderIcon_Small ), SHGFI_ICON | SHGFI_SMALLICON | SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES);
hr = SHGetFileInfo( L"Shell32.dll", 0, &siFolderIcon_Large, sizeof( siFolderIcon_Large ), SHGFI_ICON | SHGFI_LARGEICON | SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES);
HIMAGELIST hil_Folders;
HBITMAP hbm_Folders;
hil_Folders = ImageList_Create( 16, 16, ILC_COLOR, 2, 0 );
hbm_Folders = ( HBITMAP )LoadImage( ( HINSTANCE )lParam, siFolderIcon_Small.szDisplayName , IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, 0 );
ImageList_Add( hil_Folders, hbm_Folders, NULL );
I'm not sure here, if the first code block should load the icon and text in one shot, or as the example shows, load the text, and then go back and load the icon in separate calls. Maybe load the icon in the first call, and then load the text in the second.
memset( &lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record, dwIndex, sizeof( lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record ) );
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.iItem = dwIndex;
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.iSubItem = 0;
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.mask = LVIF_TEXT;
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.cchTextMax = 254;
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.pszText = szFileName;
ListView_InsertItem( lv_ProjectOpen_FileSelect, &lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record );
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.mask = LVIF_IMAGE;
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.iImage = 0;
ListView_SetItem( lv_ProjectOpen_FileSelect, &lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record);
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.iItem = dwIndex;
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.iSubItem = 1;
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.mask = LVIF_TEXT;
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.cchTextMax = 24;
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.pszText = szDateModified;
ListView_SetItem( lv_ProjectOpen_FileSelect, (const LV_ITEM *)&lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record);

I'm not so sure I haven't misinterpreted your question.
However, do you have a specific requirement to create your own dialog to allow for file selection? I ask, because the first thing I thought when I saw your post was 'what about the GetOpenFileName[^] common dialog?'
|

I didn't see it in the toolbox.
I just assumed you had to write everything from scratch, oh well.
I'll check the Microsoft Social Forum tonight

Me too.  (implemented drag-n-drop file-opening once since it seemed easier than writing a file selection dialog)
It's quite easy to use though - much easier than trying to implement your own.
Unfortunately, the 'equivalent' function for selecting folders doesn't give such an intuitive, easy-to-use dialog. I seem to remember some kind of trick involving the lpfnHook and a filter that will exclude all files that aren't directories.

It sounds like it's easier for me to just figure out the icon detail, and make the click events and functions.  LOL!
I'm not that far away from completion, and besides, I can use the lesson for other listbox I have in the program. The multi-column thing is quite cool  however, and I would like to get to know it better.
Thanks for the post, at least one person has interest in it!
Appreciate the help!

Worked on it for a couple of hours today. Documentation at MSDN is pretty vague, and got just 1 response off some post I made for help. Looks like SHGetFileInfo is very flexible in it's use, and can be used a dozen different ways.
I didn't see a pre-fabricated control or class in the toolbox, so I made this from scratch the hard way. So far so good.
If I'm completely off base here, just let me know. I might ditch the SHFILEINFO, I don't think I need it.
SHFILEINFOW siFI_Small = {0};
HIMAGELIST hSImageList = {0};
hSImageList = (HIMAGELIST)SHGetFileInfo( L"Doesn't matter", FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY, &siFI_Small, sizeof( siFI_Small ), SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX | SHGFI_SMALLICON | SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES );
DeleteObject( siFI_Small.hIcon );
SHFILEINFOW siFI_Large = {0};
HIMAGELIST hLImageList = {0};
hLImageList = (HIMAGELIST)SHGetFileInfo( L"Doesn't matter", FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY, &siFI_Large, sizeof( siFI_Large ), SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX | SHGFI_SMALLICON | SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES );
DeleteObject( siFI_Large.hIcon );
It looks like any combination works when adding the folder icon, which is index 1 in the imagelist.
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.iItem = dwIndex;
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.iSubItem = 0;
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.mask = LVIF_IMAGE;
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.iImage = 1;
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.cchTextMax = 254;
ListView_InsertItem( lv_ProjectOpen_FileSelect, &lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record );
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.mask = LVIF_TEXT;
lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record.pszText = szFileName;
ListView_SetItem( lv_ProjectOpen_FileSelect, &lv_ProjectOpen_Item_Record);

What documentation are you talking about? If you want to write Windows programs in C++ then there are plenty of articles here on CodeProject and elsewhere that can help you. If you are looking for something else then please be more explicit about your problem.

This looks like a very complicated way to start a Windows application. Why not just use the standard Framework - View model that has been used since Windows first appeared?

I want to call this dialog from another mfc application, it loads fine working properly. only the toolbar is not coming.

It's difficult to suggest anything but it may have something to do with the RepositionBars() calls. You should try a bit of debugging to see what is happening at each step in this function.

Your question is not very clear, please try and add some more detail. Or do you just mean that you want to use a printf() statement in a console application?

What compiler are you using?
Why are you mixing 'old style' headers with new ones?

MingW (used by Dev C++) had issues with wstringstream (see, for instance, here[^]). I don't know if they are fixed now (and I don't know which version you have).
You may also try a different IDE, like Visual C++ Express Edition[^].
