After opening the icon in the icon editor, select New Image Type from the Image menu.
Here you can find all the color depths that are available.

If you do not see what you want, you can do one of the two.

Upgrade to a newer version of Visual Studio.
VS 2010 supports upto 32-bit icons.

Or you can edit the icon file using an external application like MS-Paint or Photoshop.
You do this after creating the icon from VC in the res sub-folder.

MFC CListCtrl FindItem is not working

I am developing Dialog based application. It has "CListCtrl" list control and one "Editbox". My requirement is when user type in editbox, automatically the entered text should get selected in the list control.

For this,when i used "FindItem" , it always return -1 even the entered text available in list control.
Here my code

C++

int nPointIndex = 0;
LVFINDINFO info;
int nIndex;
LPCTSTR lpszmyString;

info.flags = LVFI_PARTIAL|LVFI_STRING;
info.psz = _T("DFC102");

nPointIndex = m_cListCtrl.FindItem(&info,-1); //It is not working Always return -1

if( nPointIndex != LB_ERR )
{
    m_cListCtrl.EnsureVisible(nPointIndex, FALSE);
    m_cListCtrl.SetSelectionMark(nPointIndex);
    m_cListCtrl.SetItemState(nPointIndex, LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED, IDC_TAGBROWSER_LIST);
    m_cListCtrl.RedrawItems(nPointIndex, nPointIndex);
    m_cListCtrl.UpdateWindow();
}

Here is code that working for me :

C++

LVFINDINFO FindInfo;
FindInfo.flags = LVFI_STRING | LVFI_PARTIAL;
FindInfo.psz = m_sItem; // sItem = _T("Something");
int nItem = m_List.FindItem(&FindInfo);

perhaps you try to search in subitems of the list ?

You could insert the column you want to search in first, and then change the display order afterwards so it becomes the second column. Or just implement your own search method:

C++

CString token = "hello";
for(int i=0;i<GetItemCount();i++)

 CString subitemvalue=GetItemText( i , 2);
 if (subitemvalue == token)
     return i;
}

It's not an error, but a warning. Try:

As already stated, it's not an error but a warning. Compiler is simply making sure you're doing it on purpose and not by mistake, remember that casting may lead to digits being dropped and rounding (hence the warning). Cast the data to the appropriate type and the compiler won't warn you about it anymore.

Hi,

I want to provide undo/redo drawing feature in MFC dialog based application. I am saving the images dynamically in a vector in OnMouseMove handler code. But when I am going to load the previous image on clicking Undo button, its getting distorted. the last image saved still remains there on the canvas. Can anybody tell me whats the issue with OnMouseMove handler. How the compiler will know when to end saving the image.?

Regards,

The compiler knows nothing, it's your code that has to do the work. Without seeing some of your code it's impossible to know what is going on.

Don't save the image the "OnMouseMove" event handler, save it in the OnLButtonUp handler (normally when the action is finished); or else you will end up with thousands and thousands of images.

How are you saving and putting back the image ? BitBlt ? StretchBlt ? show us some code.
If the image is stretched, are you certain you are using the good Width and Height for the bitmap ?

Watched code never compiles.

Querying on existing recordsets

SelvaKr11-Jul-12 21:20

11-Jul-12 21:20

Hi
My application is in C++/ATL/COM and uses the Access database for storing configurations. Various DLLs and EXEs (and threads) that are part of my application query the database when needed.
When doing so, I am getting the database locked message ('[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The database has been placed in a state by an unknown user that prevents it from being opened or locked' in the log) randomly and the application fails to continue.
I am assuming that this problem happens due to the shared access of the database.

My question is:
Can i get the complete database in memory (in form of recordsets for every table) during the launch and query the recordsets directly instead of querying the database? I believe this might solve the database locking problem.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Selva

A better solution would be to locate and fix the problems.

Some hints:

Open database read only when no data should be written
When opening/accessing and the database is locked, retry operation after some time
When writing to the database, lock the thread so that other threads are blocked
When writing, close the database aftwerwards to avoid locking states

Hi Jochen

Thanks for your response.

I am already reviewing the code and doing that. But still it fails at times. So I was thinking whether i could keep them all in memory so that the DB hits can be avoided.

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks

If you have it in memory, you won't get changings. And if you add code to support changings during runtime, you may not need a database.

Assuming that all modules must then use only one function to access the memory db, why not implement the only function using direct db access?

In both cases, that function must be thread safe using locking. I think that's your problem: You access the db from different threads which may fail when the db is locked by another thread. You will have similar problems when using a memory image that is modified when not using locking (but without getting an error message).
