Have you tried using DrawText, seeing as you already have a rectangle in which you what the text to fit.
I am not too sure as to what this does to the actual font you have selected in the DC at the time, but I do know that there is a flag that will scale the text to fit in a given rectangle.
Hope this help

Andy,
I'm using ExtTextOut with the ETO_CLIPPED option. This works the same way as DrawText, my problem comes when the font is created, its TOO big based on the nHeight I specified.
I build a rectangle object using the limits of the box that is to be created dependant on the zoom factor etc, but the font it creates is LARGER than the box I've created. whooops! 
I'd have to show you in a screen shot or something! Any ideas?
Thx.
Mike.

I am creating listbox, where the user can select one or more items. I wnat my software to be such that even after the user makes the selections, clicks OK, and then opens the same dialog (with the listbox in it), he/she would see tha last selections made highlighted in the listbox.
In short I want the listbox to show the last chosen settings.
How do I do that??
It is what we choose to be that makes us what we are, far more than our abilities.

You should store the selection in CYourDlg::OnOK, and re-load it in CYourDlg::OnInitDialog (after the call to CDialog::OnInitDialog). Do you use item data in listbox?

Ok,
I'm rather new to this, so I'm stumped... but I don't think it should be too hard...
I have a window-based app with buttons. When certain buttons are clicked, lenghty processes are started. I want a modal dialog box to display with a message like "Wait..." (or perhaps a progress bar) when the button is clicked and then be undisplayed when the process is finished. It's important that mouseclicks on the main window's buttons are ignored when the process is underway (that's why I want the dialog to be modal).
This seems like it should be simple, but I don't understand how I can call DoModal(), get the window displayed, get the process started, wait for the process to finish, and then do an EndDialog()... this must be a pretty common task, but I don't see how to use the CDialog framework (or derivation of it) to get the job done.
thanks! any help is appreciated!

In VC++ help, go to 'Contents' tab, then Periodicals - 1997 - MS Systems Journal - February - Wicked Code. The article by Jeff Prosise has a solution for your problem.

2 ways you can do this
1) Show your dialog and in your modal dialogs OnInitDialog or somewhere else approrpriate, launch the lengthy process.
2) Show a modeless dialog but call AfxGetMainWnd()->EnableWindow(FALSE);

These errors were displayed when I ran my game in debug mode. The application runs fine as far as I can tell but I have no clue what they mean:

memory check error at 0x00A60E13 = 0x6F, should be 0xFD.

memory check error at 0x00A60E15 = 0x31, should be 0xFD.
memory check error at 0x00A60E16 = 0x36, should be 0xFD.
Any help would be appreciated

DAMAGE: After Normal block (#17) at 0x00A60DC0
This sounds like heap corruption - the bytes after allocated memory block have been overwritten by your application. In debug mode you're only getting the message, in release this would be probably the application crash. You should use BoundsChecker or Purify to pinpoint the problem.

Where would I get BoundsChecker or Purify, and are they free?

BoundChecker is at www.numega.com, I guess ( i.e. Numega make it ) and your guess on price is out by about a grand ( in Australia anyhow ).

The most common cause for this problem is a buffer overflow condition. You probably have either an array or dynamically allocated memory somewhere in your app which you are writing-past in your application.
Example:
char szTemp[20];
for (int iX = 0; iX <= 20; iX++)
{
szTemp[iX] = ' ';
}
This will write past the end of the array and corrupt the stack at offset (szTemp + 20)
should be
char szTemp[20];
for (int iX = 0; iX < 20; iX++)
{
szTemp[iX] = ' ';
}

Ok, that's what my first assumption was also. The problem is that i have almost a hundred arrays doing various things. Do you know of any tricks to help find the location of a memory overwrite/leak in a source file?

Off the top of my head, I can think of 3 things you can try.
1) Make sure your warning level is set to level 4. This will probably not find the error, but its worth a shot and is always a good place to start.
2) If you have access to Purify or BoundsChecker, either will almost always find this kind of problem.
3) This is also not guaranteed, but has proven succesful for me on ocassion. It requires modifying your code, but makes for a simple and performance sensitive check. If you get in the habbit of coding this way, it can solve problems later.
When you have code which reads like below.
char szBuffer[20];
for (int iX = 0; iX < 20; iX++)
{
}
change the code to be
char szBuffer[22];
szBuffer[20] = 0; szBuffer[21] = 255;
for (int iX = 0; iX < 20; iX++)
{
}
ASSERT(szBuffer[21] = 255);
This also mean that when allocating blocks of memory, you will always need to allocate 1 or 2 extra bytes and set the last byte to some value which is unlikely to properly exist in the data. Then before freeing the data, check the value of the last byte for the value you gave it, if its not what you set it to, you just overan your memory.
Note: This is not a guaranteed check because it is possible that the value written into the check byte was the value you put there to begin with, but its still a good preaution.

|

oops!
ASSERT(szBuffer[21] = 255);
should have been
ASSERT(szBuffer[21] == 255);

My CMainFrame class has code to position my docking control bars in OnCreate(). When my app is activated as an active document server, the control bars are created in OnCreateControlBars(). The code to dock each control bar requires m_wndToolBar.GetWindowRect(). The result of GetWindowRect()is silly when called from OnCreateControlBars(). Does anyone know where I should create and position docking control bars when activated as an active doc server?

My application is dialog based one.Then how can I include WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW etc???
|
|
|
|
|
In CYourApp::InitInstance change this...
CYourDlg dlg;
m_pMainWnd = &dlg;
... to this:
CWnd wndOwner;
static const char * szClass = AfxRegisterWndClass(0);
VERIFY(wndOwner.CreateEx(0, szClass, "x", WS_POPUP, 0, 0, 0, 0, NULL, NULL));
CYourDlg dlg(&wndOwner);
m_pMainWnd = &dlg;
Remove WS_EX_APPWINDOW in CYourDlg::OnInitDialog:
ModifyStyleEx(WS_EX_APPWINDOW, 0);

Hi,
What the best way of responding to a mouse move, over a CRichEdit.
Cheers
Richard
|
|
|
|
|
m_richEditControl.SetEventMask(ENM_MOUSEEVENTS);
Then add this to your message map:
ON_NOTIFY(EN_MSGFILTER, INPUT_WINDOW_ID, MyMsgFilter) // change this line to use your own control ID and filter method name
then you add your method:
void CMyView::OnInputMsgFilter(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult)
I can go into more detail on these items, but they should get you pointed in the right direction as is.

We currently have over a thousand programs which are currently compiled using command line tools from Borland. It would be nice to convert over to using VC (the DOS editor is getting to the point where it cannot handle the size of the programs!). Has anybody attempted to write a program that will generate the project/workspace files to go with existing source files.
Does anybody know if this is possible or whether there is a quick way to generate the project/workspace files given 2 C source files, a header file and a resource file.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Steve.
