What is meaning is the "X" in "AFX"? Maer72727-Aug-01 3:21 Maer727 27-Aug-01 3:21  What is meaning of the "X" in "AFX"? Thanks. Maer Re: What is meaning is the Steen Krogsgaard27-Aug-01 4:21 Steen Krogsgaard 27-Aug-01 4:21  "Application FrameworX" AFAIK Cheers Steen.

What I do not understand is the meaning of "X"? Can you help? Thanks. Maer Re: What is meaning is the Steen Krogsgaard27-Aug-01 4:51 Steen Krogsgaard 27-Aug-01 4:51  Let me look this up in "MFC Internals", but I'm pretty sure that the X doesn't mean anything. It's just a sexy way of pronouncing the last two letters in Frameworks - that's why I wrote "Application FrameworX" (not the capital A, F and X). Anyway, it's just an old name for MFC (actually I don't think MFC was ever called AFX - it was just the name it had during development. That's why you only see it in the source code"). Cheers Steen.

You help me a lot. Can you tell me where to look up the "MFC Internals"? Thanks again. Best regards. Maer Re: What is meaning is the Steen Krogsgaard28-Aug-01 2:55 Steen Krogsgaard 28-Aug-01 2:55  You can find it at e.g. bn.com: http://shop.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=2UPJYZHY8L&mscssid=R1MRPQRSKSG98HC7MAD52TTXG63R2M1F&isbn=0201407213 It's by George Shepherd & Scot Wingo, and it's a must-must for MFC developers. It only covers the MFC that came with VC++ 4.0, but it's still valid. You can also try Mike Blaszczak's "Professional MFC with Visual C++ 6.0": http://shop.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=2UPJYZHY8L&mscssid=R1MRPQRSKSG98HC7MAD52TTXG63R2M1F&isbn=1861000154 Haven't got it myself (I bought Kruglinski's "Inside Visual C++ version 4" instead, also excellent), but Blaszczak is the MFC Guru of all Guru's (he was once head of the MFC team at MS). Cheers Steen. "To claim that computer games influence children is rediculous. If Pacman had influenced children born in the 80'ies we would see a lot of youngsters running around in dark rooms eating pills while listening to monotonous music" what means "exited with code"? Maer72727-Aug-01 3:19 Maer727 27-Aug-01 3:19  What is the following mean? The thread 0xFFF16C63 has exited with code -858993460 (0xCCCCCCCC). The program 'C:\testexitcode\Debug\testexitcode.exe' has exited with code -858993460 (0xCCCCCCCC). Thanks my pal. Maer Re: what means Steen Krogsgaard27-Aug-01 4:36 Steen Krogsgaard 27-Aug-01 4:36  The exit code is a number the program returns to the calling process. In the ol' DOS days you could access this code throught the enviroment variable ERRORLEVEL. When you terminate a thread (and the program if it's the program's main thread) through a call to exit, _exit, _endthreadex or ExitThread (or a number of other similar functions that I'm not aware of) you can pass an int which will become the exit code (or, at least for exit, the low-order byte will become the exit code. The meaning of the exit code is entirely up to the terminating thread. Usually zero indicates normal termination. Cheers Steen. "To claim that computer games influence children is rediculous.

You help a lot. Best regards. Maer Sorting in a CListCtrl 27-Aug-01 2:34 27-Aug-01 2:34  I'd like to know how to do an alphabetical sort of the items in a CListCtrl I use LVS_SORTASCENDING as the window style but the problem I have is when the list has more than one column, the InsertItem function doesn't work for items placed in any column other than the first one. The code I have is: CListCtrl* pList = (CListCtrl*) GetDlgItem (IDC_LIST1); pList->InsertColumn(0, "Column1", LVCFMT_CENTER, 100); pList->InsertColumn(1, "Column2", LVCFMT_CENTER, 100); pList->SetRedraw(FALSE); pList->InsertItem(0, "Item0 Column0", 0); pList->SetItemText(0, 1, "Item0 Column1", 0); // Insert more items like the one above pList->SetRedraw(TRUE); If I use LVS_SORTASCENDING, the first column shows right (well sorted) but the second column doesn't display any item. Thanks in advance, Re: Sorting in a CListCtrl Tomasz Sowinski27-Aug-01 10:28 Tomasz Sowinski 27-Aug-01 10:28  If you're using LVS_SORTASCENDING style, the list control has to insert new item at appropriate location. You can't use the 0 as 1st parameter passed to SetItemText. Instead, pass the value returned by InsertItem - this is the real item index in the list.

I must do this without creating a dialog template. Thanks in advance. Re: Run-Time Objects 27-Aug-01 2:10 27-Aug-01 2:10  If you want to create a dialog window "on the fly" use one of the following dialog functions: DialogBoxIndirect (modal) DialogBoxIndirectParam (modal) CreateDialogIndirect (modeless) CreateDialogIndirectParam (modeless) See MSDN : Platform SDK \ Windows User Interface "Creating a Template in Memory" V.B. Re: Run-Time Objects MAXS72U27-Aug-01 4:31 MAXS72U 27-Aug-01 4:31  Thank you, but my question is how to create a run-time object (maybe a CStatic object) and subclass them for a more convenient use. Thanks in advance. Re: Run-Time Objects Ganesh Ramaswamy27-Aug-01 5:38 Ganesh Ramaswamy 27-Aug-01 5:38  I think u can do it by SetWindowLong function with GWL_WNDPROC option and setting a new callback fucntion. I suppose this will work for run-time ocreated object. Ganesh.M.Ramaswamy simple message loop question Kuniva27-Aug-01 1:30 Kuniva 27-Aug-01 1:30  ok i have a dialog as the main window with a combo box on it defined as IDC_COMBO (NOT USING MFC). now i want to see when the user is typing text in the combobox when he presses the enter key somethin has to happen, i'm surprised i dont know how to do it cause i've done it before, lol but anyways, something like this huh: ... case IDC_COMBO: switch(HIWORD(wParam)) { case WM_KEYDOWN: break; } break; ... it has to see when the ENTER key is pressed, so u'll need the keycode or something right...? but this doesn't work i was just pointing out what i'm doing erm..ok, an answer would be nice, thank you in advance Kuniva Re: simple message loop question Ganesh Ramaswamy27-Aug-01 5:40 Ganesh Ramaswamy 27-Aug-01 5:40  Is this not working with any keydown or only with enter-key, may be enter-key is closing the dialog box and handled as OK. Ganesh.M.Ramaswamy accessing NT registry for different users Raja27-Aug-01 1:30 Raja 27-Aug-01 1:30  Hi.. I created a simple database application and created a small setup for this application in windows NT. Here I am storing my installtion path under HEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. So this application is running only when i entered as an administrator rights user, otherwise it is NOT able open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry entries. Even if I try to use HKEY_CURRENT_USER it will get vary to different users. How I can solve so that I should use this registry entry for all types of user.. Thanks in advance.. Raja Raja Rethinam Chennai. India. Re: accessing NT registry for different users Tomasz Sowinski27-Aug-01 10:33 Tomasz Sowinski 27-Aug-01 10:33  Do you pass KEY_ALL_ACCESS to RegCreateKeyEx?

Raja Rethinam 3-state pushbuttons?? 27-Aug-01 1:07 27-Aug-01 1:07  Hi, I wounder if anyone know how too get a pushbutton too act like a checkbox? What I mean is if you push the button it should stay down and then if you push it again it should raise. Re: 3-state pushbuttons?? Michael P Butler27-Aug-01 1:42 Michael P Butler 27-Aug-01 1:42  You can set on the styles on a checkbox to appear like a push button. Can't remember the exact name but you should be able to see it in the resource editor properties. I think this should suit your purposes. Michael What is term "_thiscall" mean? Maer72727-Aug-01 0:59 Maer727 27-Aug-01 0:59  What is term "_thiscall" mean? Thanks. Maer Re: What is term Ganesh Ramaswamy27-Aug-01 4:50 Ganesh Ramaswamy 27-Aug-01 4:50  As far as I know __thiscall is the calling convention for C++ class functions for which implicit this will be passed. Ganesh.M.Ramaswamy Re: What is term Maer72727-Aug-01 17:34 Maer727 27-Aug-01 17:34  Thanks my pal. You help a lot. Best regards. Maer
