I need a popup menu with an icon 16x16 on the left and the text on the right, for every menu item.

(disclaimer, I've not tried it on a popup menu; only regular menu).

The simplest way is to use CMFCToolBar::AddToolBarForImageCollection.

You create a dummy toolbar with all the images you want to use and call the above static method and the images will automagically be added to the menus.

I'd rather be phishing!

It is quite simple, just create a new toolbar with the images you need (with the same ID as your menu ID).

and call

C++

// Load menu items images(not placed on the standard toolbars):
CMFCToolBar::AddToolBarForImageCollection(IDR_MENU_IMAGES);

at the end of the "OnCreate" of the mainframe (in case of a MFC document).

Have a look at the C++/MFC samples available on MSDN.

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5718[^]

There are examples of that in the: "VisualStudioDemo", "NewControls" samples. (among others).

I'd rather be phishing!

I done it!!!!

I did so:

1) OnCreate i put this as you told me:

CMFCToolBar::AddToolBarForImageCollection(IDR_MAINFRAME_256);

2) in Contextmenu i add these lines:

CMFCPopupMenu* PopupMenuFolders = new CMFCPopupMenu();

//Mi serve controllare prima che esce il menu per eventualmente eliminare voci del menu non permesse.
CheckWhatCanIDo(ExtractFullTreePath(htSelectedTreeItem),MainComputerinfo.szSid,m_bUserAuthorizations);

PopupMenuFolders->InsertItem(CMFCToolBarMenuButton(ID_POPUP_FOLDERS_TREE_1, NULL, 0, _T("Item 1")));

PopupMenuFolders->InsertItem(CMFCToolBarMenuButton(ID_POPUP_FOLDERS_TREE_2, NULL, 1, _T("Item 2")));

PopupMenuFolders->InsertItem(CMFCToolBarMenuButton(ID_POPUP_FOLDERS_TREE_3, NULL, 2, _T("Item 3")));

PopupMenuFolders->Create(this, point.x, point.y, NULL);

So you use directly the Toolbar Images.

Thanks all Wink | ;)

C++ Open the COM Port on Windows CE Device

Hello

I'm trying to open the COM Port on a Windows CE Device in C++ but without any success
I'm sure that the port exist and available becaus I can use it from cSharp

To do it with C++ I'm trying to use the CreateFile method

The first issue was that CreateFile needs a LPCWSTR
And as it is a long time that I did'nt work with C++ in Windows I had to find ho to assign a LPCWSTR Pointer

So here is my attempt
But it give an Error 2 during execution

NB : I've also tryed different declaration of the Com port but with the same bad result

wchar_t tt[]=L"COM5";
wchar_t tt[]=L"COM5\0";
wchar_t tt[]=L"COM5:";
wchar_t tt[]=L"COM5:\0";}

I can't believe that there is no way to open the Com port on Win CE in cSharp

Thanks for any help

wchar_t tt[]=L"COM5";
 int len=0;
 int result=0;
 char *buffer;
 DWORD dw;

 hComm = CreateFile( tt,
       GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,
       0,
       0,
       OPEN_EXISTING,
       NULL,
       NULL);
   if (hComm == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
   {
         dw=GetLastError();
   }

As far as I know, CreateFile's first argument must be a LPCTSTR.

Great !
You help me a lot

1- It is LPCTSTR indeed
2- The column is required

This is working

LPCTSTR portname = L"COM5:";

int len=0;
int result=0;
char *buffer;
DWORD dw;

hComm = CreateFile( portname,
      GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,
      0,
      NULL,
      OPEN_EXISTING,
      NULL,
      NULL);
  if (hComm == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
  {
  dw=GetLastError();
  int uu=5;
  }

Re: C++ Open the COM Port on Windows CE Device

The correct way to set the LPCTSTR is:

C++

LPCTSRT portname = _T("COM5:");

As far as I know, the column is NOT required.

By the way, you are welcome.

It is required. Alternatively the full device namespace path can be used: "\\\\.\\COM1"

It is quite specific under CE

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa517318.aspx[^]

Could not be more clear =>
When lpFileName points to a COM port to open, you must include a colon after the name. For example, specify COM1: to open that port. When using IrCOMM, specify COM3:.

Another academic question - ANSI C standard on optional function parameters

What is a current C ( ANSI C) standard on putting <b>optional</b> parameters / attributes into function?
Or is there such a thing - ANSI standard _ anymore?
"Popular" microprocessor compiler does not allow such thing and "workaround" is function overloading.
Which IMHO in memory limited device adding more similar functions into code does not make much sense, unless you are memory chips salesman.
Cheers Vaclav

You could get around it by using the main pattern, where the first parameter tells the function how many items are in the array pointed to by the next; i.e.

C++

int function(int count, void** somepointer)
{
// count tells how many items in the array pointed to by somepointer
// which may point to any type depending on requirements
}

ANSI C only provides variable number of arguments, via the va_list, va_start, va_arg, va_end mechanism. See, for instance here[^].

Thanks, but I may have messed up my question.
What I was looking for - is this syntax ANSI C standard
function(int a, int b = 0)
Where passing the second parameter in function call is optional.

No, that's C++; there is no overloading in C.

Now I am totally lost.
I thought overloading was having same function name with different types of variables.
Such as
function(int)
function(void*)
function(double)
That works fine in Arduino C++ compiler.( And right now I have a bug in my code because I am using it).

I am assuming Arduino compiler is C++, did not really try to find out.
But since it works with classes....it must be C++ based.

You thought right.

As it should: after all is a C++ compiler.

You have to understand that C and C++ are two different programming languages. While C++ supports function overloading, C does not.

The following defintion is implied overloading since you can call it in one of two ways.

C++

function(int a, int b = 0);

//
function(1, 2); // two parameters with explicit values

//
function(1); // one explicit and one implicit (0) parameter
