Hi,

Am using an owner drawn list control, and I handle the WM_MEASUREITEM message to set the item height. Problem is, this message is sent only when a window is created (or so the MSDN documentation says). I'd like to set the item height, in response to user button clicks (to provide for the effect of zooming items)-this would let the user increase or decrease item heights by clicking buttons. Problem is, as noted earlier, the message is sent only when the list control is created-how do I set the item height, without destroying and creating the control again?

Any help is much appreciated.

The fact that there is no way to set an item's RECT and that ListViews only supports LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED leads me to believe that you are, unfortunately, out of luck...

Unless, you only have one column in the ListView in question, then might I recommend moving to a ListBox instead... its WM_MEASUREITEM suffers the same problem ( only ever getting called once ), but you can set an items RECT at runtime ( like when the user clicks on it ).

void CMyZoomListBox::OnSelchange() 
{	
	if ( -1 != m_nLastSelection ) {

		SetItemHeight ( m_nLastSelection, m_nNormalSize );

	}
	
	m_nLastSelection = GetCurSel ();
	SetItemHeight ( m_nLastSelection, m_nZoomSize );

	Invalidate (); // update window to reflect size changes

}

I asked this same question for SendMessage HERE once before. However, it appears as though the solution for SendMessage does not work for PostMessage.

I want to pass a CString as one of the parameters of PostMessage. How is this done?

Well, you can pass a pointer to a CString, however this will work only if the receiver of the message to is in the same process as the sender, otherwise the pointer will be meaningless. You also have to make sure that the CString object exists long enough for the receiver to use it. Since posted messages are handled asynchronously, you'll need to arrange this part yourself.

Assuming the target window is in the same process, you can send a CString via PostMessage like this:

void SendTextToWindow(HWND hwndTarget, UINT uiMessage, LPCSTR lpszText);
{
     CString* pText = new CString;
     (*pText) = lpszText;

     ::PostMessage(hwndTarget, uiMessage, (WPARAM)pText, 0);
}

Then, in the message handler for uiMessage,

LRESULT OnSomeMessage(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
     CString* pText = (CString*)wParam;
     ASSERT(pText);

     // do something with pText

     delete pText;

     return 0;
}

I have used this, but I do not recommend it because there is a potential that the message could not make it to the target window and thus the CString never be destroyed. Also, this only works if the target window is in the same process. Ultimately, if you really need to do this often, I would recommend creating a manager class (something line CStringMessageManager), and have it be responspilble for deleting CString objects created and passed via PostMessage.

Simple DLL, Simple DLL, Simple DLL , P L E A S E !!!

2-Sep-01 9:05

I wrote a program by dialog project , that works excellent. Blush | :O

Now I need to convert it to DLL. Suspicious | :suss:

---------------------------------------------------------
I opened project (MFCAppWizars(dll)).
I attached the recource dialog and all his class (CMainDlg). Cool | :cool:

I opened also exe project for test the dll and there I wrote:

HINSTANCE hInstance;
hInstance = LoadLaibrary("main.dll");
---------------------------------------------------------
Frown | :(

My questions:

1. Where have I write CMainDlg::DoModal() if I want that it wiil shown immidietly when this dll will act ? Confused | :confused:

2. How can I get and return parameters ??? Confused | :confused:

3. How can I acted this dll from the another exe program ??? Confused | :confused:

------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE !!! HELP ME !!! Cry | :((

Thanks

Do not use LoadLibrary for this case.

In dialog class declaration (header file) put:
#ifdef DLL_BUILDING
#define DllExportImport __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define DllExportImport __declspec(dllimport)
#endif

class DLLExportImport CMyDialog : public CDialog
...
In project settings of dll add DLL_BUILDING define

The same header, do include in exe project.
(As You can see, this time CMyDialog class will be defined as dllimport).
In link tab (project settings) of exe project, add path (relative or full) to .lib file generated during build of dll.

It will work

Thank you !

Do not use LoadLibrary for this case.

Create DLL project. In this project, create header file. In this header write:

In dialog class declaration (header file) put:
#ifdef DLL_BUILDING
#define DllExportImport __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define DllExportImport __declspec(dllimport)
#endif

class DLLExportImport CMyDialog : public CDialog
...
In project settings of dll add DLL_BUILDING define
That's all for now for dll project. Compile and forget.

Let's go back to exe project.Include the header, You have created in the dll.
The difference, is that when building dll, DLL_BUILDING macro will be defined, so DLLExplortImport will be changed by preprocessor into __declspec(dllexport). When building exe project, You won't have DLL_BUILDING defined, so __declspec(dllimport) will be used.
In link tab (project settings) of exe project, add path (relative or full) to .lib file generated during build of dll.

For more information, see msdn and search for dllexport or dllimport.

uki?

Hi,

I had problem of CTRL+ALT+DEL last few days. I searched discussion board for that but didnot found proper solution. I only found that use Gina Dll inplace of microsoft's MSGina.dll. That is not proper solution. Now i solved my purpose to disable CTRL+ALT+DEL in win2000. I don't know about WinNT but it will work for it also. So i want to contribute this part to all user.

Steps are as follows :

1. Open Microsoft SDK Examples. In That Example, Open GinaStub example.
2. Find function
int
WINAPI
WlxLoggedOnSAS(
PVOID pWlxContext,
DWORD dwSasType,
PVOID pReserved
)

3. In this function remove all code written and only return like this
return WLX_SAS_ACTION_NONE;
4. So it looks like this...
int WINAPI WlxLoggedOnSAS(
PVOID pWlxContext,
DWORD dwSasType,
PVOID pReserved
)
{
return WLX_SAS_ACTION_NONE; // Return code for doing nothing ... return to desktop
}
5. Now Make dll.
6. Goto Registry by regedit.
7. goto
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
(WindowsNT is also there. So dont confused it is | Windows(Space)NT | okay)
8. Make New string value and give data like this
name : GinaDLL
Type : REG_SZ
Data : C:\WinNT\System32\mygina.dll (path of your gina dll(suppose mygina.dll))
9. Reboot computer And your control+alter+delete not worked at all.

ASAP: convertion ?

I have this in the .h file:

typedef enum { _P1=0, _P2=15, _P3=6, _PDefault=15} PDef;
 
MyFunc(PDef a){...};

and when I use it .cpp file like this:

MyFunc( (PDef)1785);  // works ok and that's not good

is there a way I can overwrite the '(PDef)' convertion?
e.g.
(PDef)1785- will return _PDefault ?
or somthing like that

thanks

Nope, that's how enums work. An enum is implemented as an int. When you cast to PDef, it's up to you to make sure the number is within range of the enum.
