How about ....
AfxMessageBox("The Database is empty");
Some how, I don't think this is the answer you want, but thats how I read it
|
|
|
|
|
When should I show this message when I switch the view?
|
|
|
|
|
What about showing it when the view gets the focus ?
Or better showing it directly in the view. And disabeling any edit buttons handled
by the view.
In general ist much better to disable operations not possible at the moment, instead
of popping up message boxes all over the app.
The user hates to click them away and doesn't read the text in the message box
(Most usrers I know of)

I have a simple Win32 program that creates an overlapped window containing an edit control. Can somebody please tell me the correct way to set the focus on the edit control when the main application window is selected. I have tried to call SetFocus(hEdit) in response to the WM_ACTIVATEAPP message but this doesn't work.
Thanks for any information you can provide.
Steve.

Call SetFocus(hEdit) when the main window gets a WM_SETFOCUS.

Handle NM_CUSTOMDRAW sent from the header, and change the colors in response to that message.

Hi Mike,
Thank's for your answer
I've already tried it, but it still do not work, here's what I've done...
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CAgendaView, CListView)
//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CAgendaView)
//}}AFX_MSG_MAP
ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT(NM_CUSTOMDRAW, OnCustomDraw)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
/****************************************************************************
*
*
*
*
****************************************************************************/
void CAgendaView::OnCustomDraw( NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult )
{
LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW lplvcd = (LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW )pNMHDR;
if( lplvcd->nmcd.dwDrawStage == CDDS_PREPAINT )
*pResult = CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
else
{
if( lplvcd->nmcd.dwDrawStage == CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT )
{
if( lplvcd->nmcd.dwItemSpec == 2 )
{
lplvcd->clrText = RGB( 0, 0, 255 );
*pResult = CDRF_NEWFONT;
}
else
*pResult = CDRF_DODEFAULT;
}
else
*pResult = 0;
}
}
Thank's

ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT will handle notifications from the list control, not the header. Change that to ON_NOTIFY(NM_CUSTOMDRAW, 0, OnHeaderCustomdraw) to handle WM_NOTIFY sent from the header to the list.
The reason is a control sends WM_NOTIFY to its parent, so the header sends WM_NOTIFY to the list control. The ID of a list header is always 0, so that's why you use 0 in the ON_NOTIFY macro.

Tank's Mike
I'm almost at it, but I still have a problem...
My function handles the NM_CUSTOMDRAW well, but even if I change the color ( lplvcd->clrText = RGB( 0, 0, 255 ); ), the HeaderCtrl still paint's my foreground in black.

You don't use NMLVCUSTOMDRAW with a header, it's just a plain NMCUSTOMDRAW. Here's a snippet that works:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CNewListCtrl, CListCtrl)
ON_NOTIFY(NM_CUSTOMDRAW, 0, OnHdrCustomdraw)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
void CNewListCtrl::OnHdrCustomdraw(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
NMCUSTOMDRAW* pNMCD = (NMCUSTOMDRAW*) pNMHDR;
*pResult = CDRF_DODEFAULT;
switch ( pNMCD->dwDrawStage )
{
case CDDS_PREPAINT:
*pResult = CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
break;
case CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT:
::SetTextColor ( pNMCD->hdc, RGB(0,0,255) );
break;
}
}Where CNewListCtrl is derived from CListCtrl.

Is there a way to use a toolbar button to activate a hyperlink in a new window???
Thank-you
Sincerely,
RAH
|

If you have the hyperlink, call ShellExecute with the "open" verb and the url to show. Or if you have the IWebBrowser2 object you can call the IWebBrowser2::Navigate with a Target of "_BLANK" which will open it in a new window.
Cheers,
-Erik

I really need somebody to help me!!! HOW can I change the text color from a CRichEditCtrl
I've tried everything but I can't !!!
|
|
|
|
|
Look at SetCharFormat in the CRichEditView class. In the CRichEditCtrl class you have a little more flexibility as you can use the SetDefaultCharFormat, SetSelectionCharFormat or SetParaFormat for character, selected text or current paragraph respectively. To actually set the color, look at the crTextColor member in the CHARFORMAT structure.

Can you tell me How to get all machine's MAC Address at Winnt LAN?
thanks in advance!

There was somewhere an article about that on CodeProject
Use the CodeProject's search-function to find the article.
"MAC address" should be enough as a keyword

I just wrote a code to select multiple files via the CFileDialog.
But it seems that in every case the while-loop is executed only 3 times even if more than three files have been selected 
CFileDialog selfiles(TRUE,"mp3","*.mp3",OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT | OFN_ENABLESIZING,"MP3 Files (*.mp3) | *.mp3 ||",NULL);
CStringArray array;
if(selfiles.DoModal() == IDOK)
{
POSITION pos=selfiles.GetStartPosition();
int counter=0;
while(pos)
{
CString file = selfiles.GetNextPathName(pos);
array.Add(file);
counter++;
}
UpdateData(FALSE);
}
i.e. for example if I selected 7 files and try to get the fifth filename with array.GetAt(4) I get a debug assertion
|
|
|
|
|
Oh sorry, I just found out by myself.
Was a stupid mistake
Don't care about this code anymore, it's correct, I just inserted GetNextPathName accidently two times and didn't notice it
|
|
|
|
|
Try to give some buffer for paths, it better for OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT style.
Try! It long time when I did it last time.
Good luck.
For example like this:
CFileDialog selfiles(TRUE,"mp3","*.mp3",OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT |
OFN_ENABLESIZING,"mp3 Files (*.mp3) | *.mp3 ||",NULL);
TCHAR* buffer;
buffer = new TCHAR[1024*5];
selfiles.m_ofn.nMaxFile = 1024*5;
selfiles.m_ofn.lpstrFile = buffer;
CStringArray array;
if(selfiles.DoModal() == IDOK)
{
POSITION pos=selfiles.GetStartPosition();
int counter=0;
while(pos)
{
CString file = selfiles.GetNextPathName(pos); array.Add(file);
counter++;
}
UpdateData(FALSE);
}
delete []buffer;

Maybe I'm coming down a bit hard here, but this is my opinion.
Some think there are legitimate resons to disable ALT-TAB, I'm not one of them.
Perhaps the first priority would be to handle the DX "surface lost" stuff. There's not much that is more annoying than a game that crashes because I had to ALT-TAB out of it (to do something else), and then when trying to get back it crashes. If it was, it would be the neverending story of kernel-memory we can do nothing about, forcing reboots every now and then...
I am the one owning my machine, and as such I should be the one making decisions of when and how I'm allowed to do what with my machine.
