I just tried this code out and it worked fine on my machine :-

SHFILEOPSTRUCT FileOp = {0};
FileOp.hwnd = m_hWnd;
FileOp.wFunc = FO_COPY;
FileOp.pFrom = "c:\\abc";
FileOp.pTo = "c:\\abccopy";
SHFileOperation(&FileOp);

If I do FileOp.pFrom = "d:\\testdir", it works, but if I do FileOp.pFrom = Dir.GetBuffer() it doesn't work, even though Dir=d:\testdir!

Also, I've been fiddling with the copy operation:

bool SHCopyFile(CString ExistingFile,CString NewFile)<br />
{<br />
	bool RetBool = false;<br />
	SHFILEOPSTRUCT FileOp;<br />
	ZeroMemory ( &FileOp, sizeof ( FileOp ) );<br />
	if(theDlg != NULL)<br />
		FileOp.hwnd = theDlg->m_hWnd;<br />
	//FileOp.fFlags = FOF_NOCONFIRMATION | FOF_NOERRORUI;<br />
	FileOp.wFunc = FO_COPY;<br />
<br />
	FileOp.pFrom = "d:\\test.zip";//ExistingFile.GetBuffer();<br />
	ExistingFile.ReleaseBuffer();<br />
<br />
	FileOp.pTo = NewFile.GetBuffer();<br />
	NewFile.ReleaseBuffer();<br />
<br />
	int RetVal = SHFileOperation(&FileOp);<br />
	if(RetVal == 0)<br />
		RetBool = true;<br />
	else<br />
		RetBool = false;<br />
<br />
	return RetBool;<br />
}

If FileOp.pFrom ="d:\\test.zip", it works, but if I use ExistingFile, it doesn't. It works fine with FileOp.pTo = NewFile.GetBuffer(), though, if pFrom = "d:\\test.zip"!

Read the SHFileOperation() docs carefully, pFrom and pTo have to be double null terminated strings. Fill the arrays you allocate for pFrom and pTo with zeros.

Ok, that works, but now I can't call delete on anything because of "HEAP[FLModManager.exe]: Heap block at 003F2CB8 modified at 003F2E10 past requested size of 150"

My code:

bool SHCopyFile(CString ExistingFile,CString NewFile)<br />
{<br />
	bool RetBool = false;<br />
	SHFILEOPSTRUCT FileOp;<br />
	ZeroMemory ( &FileOp, sizeof ( FileOp ) );<br />
	if(theDlg != NULL)<br />
		FileOp.hwnd = theDlg->m_hWnd;<br />
	//FileOp.fFlags = FOF_NOCONFIRMATION | FOF_NOERRORUI;<br />
	FileOp.wFunc = FO_COPY;<br />
<br />
	FileOp.pFrom = new char[300];<br />
	strset((char*)FileOp.pFrom,0);<br />
	strcpy((char*)FileOp.pFrom,ExistingFile.GetBuffer());<br />
	ExistingFile.ReleaseBuffer();<br />
<br />
	FileOp.pTo = new char[300];<br />
	strset((char*)FileOp.pTo,0);<br />
	strcpy((char*)FileOp.pTo,NewFile.GetBuffer());<br />
	NewFile.ReleaseBuffer();<br />
<br />
	int RetVal = SHFileOperation(&FileOp);<br />
	if(RetVal == 0)<br />
		RetBool = true;<br />
	else<br />
		RetBool = false;<br />
<br />
	//delete FileOp.pFrom;<br />
	//delete FileOp.pTo;<br />
	return RetBool;<br />
}

Use memset() instead of strset()

Hi, I get an error when i want to compile an empty C# form...

C:\C++\WindowsApplication1\licenses.licx Could not transform licenses file 'licenses.licx' into a binary resource. The format of the file 'lc.exe' is invalid.

What is that???

I'm not sure but I did a search on Yahoo / Google and found someone with the same problem, they said that they deleted the license file then rebuilt and it fixed their problem.. maybe try renaming the file to .old or something like that and try to re-compile..

I want to create some checkboxes dynamicaly from code and I want them tranparent. The problem is that I tried to create them from resource with the trasparent atribute (WS_EX_TRASPARENT) but it still didn't work. Anyway my problem is to create them dynamically. Any ideas, sugestions ?

WS_EX_TRASPARENT style does not make it transparent, just tells window to paint control after children. I am sure you can find plenty custom draw samples on this and others websites.

Handle WM_CTLCOLORBTN and in your handler, call SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT) on the HDC that is passed in the message's wParam.

Hmm, same as everywhere else SetCapture(HWND);

SetCapture doesn't work for me

Zoomby15-Mar-03 2:58

Zoomby

15-Mar-03 2:58

yes, but I need a "onMouseOver" effect for a button (sees if the mouse is leaving the child window with no mousebutton pressed) which always works. But I can't always have the capture. SetCapture only works fine when I have a "onMouseClick" effect.

bye

I believe WM_MOUSEMOVE is what you need.

TRACKMOUSEEVENT t_MouseEvent;
t_MouseEvent.cbSize      = sizeof(TRACKMOUSEEVENT);
t_MouseEvent.dwFlags     = TME_LEAVE | TME_HOVER;
t_MouseEvent.hwndTrack   = m_hWnd;
t_MouseEvent.dwHoverTime = 1;

// We Tell Windows we want to receive WM_MOUSEHOVER and WM_MOUSELEAVE
::_TrackMouseEvent(&t_MouseEvent);

you will now receive the WM_MOUSEHOVER and WM_MOUSELEAVE messages, the last one is the one you want Smile | :)

thanks Gregor S.! but it doesn't work here. I uses exactly the code you postet on WM_CREATE of the window (OS: Windows ME). _TrackMouseEventcalled returns no error. But the messages are not sent. I also checked it with Spy++.
any suggestions?

Re: mouse cursor leaving child-window (api)

Michael Dunn15-Mar-03 6:51

Michael Dunn

The cursor has to actually be in your window before you call TrackMouseEvent(), so you call TrackMouseEvent() in your WM_MOUSEMOVE handler.

Try calling ModifyStyleEx( 0, WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW ) for the App window. This will stop it appearing in the Alt+Tab list, an I think Task Manager. You need to ensure it doesn't break anything in your app. There maybe other wasys to do what you want as well. Search the articles here on CP, MSDN and try Google.

Use the RegisterServiceProcess API function to remove your app name from the list.

This removes your app from the list:
RegisterServiceProcess(NULL, 1);

This makes your app visible in the list again:
RegisterServiceProcess(NULL, 0);
