Hi,
Did any one know how to get a message in Visual C++ when a smart card was inserted or removed ?
Thanks Very much

The CPropertyPage constructor looks like this
CPropertyPage( UINT nIDTemplate, UINT nIDCaption = 0 );
Now the second argument (the UINT nIDCaption) comes from the string table. What if I wanna create multiple tabs from code without knowing how many I'm gonna open. I can't make a string table entry for every tab I wanna make cause I don't know how many I'm going to create. So how can I modify the string that I give to an ID from code ???? Is that possible ?

It is 0 by default, so only use the first parameter, and the dialog name will be used.
Then, once you have created the property page, do :
CPropertyPage mypage;
mypage.pszTitle="My Title";
And you're done.
~RaGE();
|
|
|
|
|
You don't have to specify a value for the second argument (default will be 0). In this case, the title will be taken from the dialog template title!

Hi all, does anyone know how can i test(by code of course) if the computer supports the Power-off (ATX board) feature, or only the Shutdown ("Its now safe to turn off your computer") Feature?

I would like to write a dll that can be used with VC, VB, Delphi, and Java. The thing is that I can write the source code only with VC or Win32 API, and I don't know how these other languages work. Could I get some feedback on this topic?
By the way, I do know that MFC based dlls work only for MFC based programs.

You probably want to write a COM DLL. COM is the standard way of letting any language talk to a software component. Depending on what you need to do you might get away with writing a C# assembly (? I think)
For better information on COM check out that message board or check out Mike Dunn's article "Introduction to COM - What It Is and How to Use It.".

Thank you very much for your quick reply. I was hoping that I didn't have to write a COM DLL but if there is no other way to do it then COM DLL it is.

It depends also of what kind of stuff you want the Dll to do! If you need the dll to generate classes, then you have to write a COM dll. But if the dll just hold some functions, you can use a normal dll (and you can also use MFC dll). It works with Visual Basic but I'm not sure for the other language (I suppose that works too). You have to be aware of calling conventions !!
|
|
|
|
|
Actually I just want to use some normal functions. Is there a website where I can read about the calling conventions?
// Afterall I realized that even my comment lines have bugs

Hmmmm, yes, it must probably exist some but I don't know where  ! Perhaps make a search on this site and on google!
In fact, the calling convention (stdcall, cdecl, ...) is the way the stack is cleared (by the client or by the dll). If you call a function from an executable that has not the same calling convention from the function inside the dll, you will have some problems! But you can change this calling convention within the client program (or within the dll) so they can match.

I was wondering what would be the best way to implement the following:
I have many types of objects that have a similar function the same. I want a main Messaging class to route commands to each respective object to do something when something specific happen related to the object. A use for this would be to have multiple graphs that would be plotting different thing with the same data. However the main difference is that I could change things at runtime by attaching this graph to this and that graph to that.
Any ideas? Anything I can read to do what I would like?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks.

I am not quite sure if it is what you want, but have a look at the 'signals and slots' library from boost[^].
Boost is a repository for libraries and tools that faciliate modern C++-programming, especially STL and templates. Many of the people at boost are activly participating at the C++ standardisation comitee.
My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

I was going to suggest Signals & Slots as well. Besides Boost there is also LibSigC++ which I'm using in ED. I tried to use Boost 'signals & slots' recently to compare it with LibSigC++ but had to give up because the signal was in a DLL and the slot in the Exe. LibSigC++ handles this without any problems.

The best way to implement this is to use the OBSERVER pattern described in "Design Patterns" book.
You can find here some example for that:

One question:
I'm try to get the folder name with SHBrowseFolder() and want to create a new folder on folder-browsing dialog
by clicking right button(popup menu) or clicking 'new folder' button I have made if possible.
On MSDN, 'ulFlags' field in BROWSEINFO structure includes a flag following.
BIF_NONEWFOLDERBUTTON
Version 6.0. Do not include the New Folder button in the browse dialog box
I suppose SHBrowseFolder() has a 'Create new folder' button as a default according to that flag.
But when SHBrowseFolder() runs, there is no 'Create new folder'.
And to my suprise, not only BIF_NONEWFOLDERBUTTON flag but also half of flags in 'uiFlags' field are not defined in 'shlobj.h'.
Of course, I'm using Visual Studio 6.0.
In short, I hope to create new folder on folder-browsing dialog by all means.

The other question:
After a format dialog is created by running SHFormatDrive(), pressing a 'Start' button progresses formatting.
Though formatting was completed, the format dialog never disappear.
Only the format dialog don't disappear until 'Close' button is pressed.
That is, a blocking happens until 'Close' button is pressed.
I wanted to progress my routine for copying files immediately, after formatting is completed.
So I coded like this.
void CSetDlg::OnButtonMakeDisk()
{
.
.
.
if( AfxMessageBox("Not a sufficient space in a diskette.\n\nDo you want to format a diskette?", MB_YESNO) == IDYES)
{
if( SHFormatDrive(this->GetSafeHwnd(), m_ComboDrive.GetCurSel(), SHFMT_ID_DEFAULT, 1) != SHFMT_ID_DEFAULT )
return;
}
else
return;
.
.
Here is my routine for copying files...
.
.
}
However, though I press 'Start' button for diskette formatting,
I should press 'Close' button for ending of format dialog.
So, SHFormatDrive() always returns SHFMT_CANCEL and OnButtonMakeDisk() terminate.
How can I progress my routine for copying files immediately, after formatting is completed ?
Subclassing? Message hooking?
I cannot get the ID or Message of 'Start' button on a format dialog.
Please advise me... help me...
I'll wait your good advices.

To your first question:
Did you install the latest Platform-SDK? It updates any number of headers to support API-functions in current Windows versions.
You can download it from Microsoft for free, or you get it with the MSDN-CDs.
My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

guys.. .i need a help.
Can anyone tell me how to load a MFC DLL explicitly so that I can load the appropriate version and also unload it? Please note that I am exporting a class from DLL.
thanks

This article of mine does dynamic loading of MFC extension DLLs, so if you look into the code, it should help you do what you need.

hi
i have dialog with controls and tab ctrl around them
it is not property sheet
so i'm dynamicaly showing controls with tab change
all is ok till you not run it with xp look
there tab gets view background color (white-to-ligh-gray effect, not dialog one)
but controls of course keep dialog color (dark gray at mine)
(it looks making them transparent is not solution?)
look at net sources they have another problem:
their tabs are always dialog-colored(even comparing window flags i do not see reason)
http://www.codeproject.com/tabctrl/ctabctrlssl.asp?msg=516747#xx516747xx
http://www.codeproject.com/tabctrl/stabctrl.asp?msg=223289#xx223289xx
http://www.codeproject.com/tabctrl/cxtabcontrol.asp?msg=516765#xx516765xx
http://www.codeguru.com/mfc/comments/51497.shtml
my experiment with creating control like tab's child failed - it still draws own dialog-background rectangle
SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT) into OnCtlColor too
do i really need subclass all controls to disable them backgound drawing or similar?
is there any way to use tabs into dialogs 'xp correctly' without change to property sheet?
but what with more tab ctrls into dialog?
thanks for ideas

I bring this back on top, because at the moment i got the same problem. Radio- ,Check-Buttons and Groupboxes will not accept the SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT) in OnCtlColor() so there backround is still darker then
the background of Tab control. Any solution ?
Thanks
