Yeah, if you can compile it all right...

I was succesful in compiling bjam (their 'make' like tool) and then compiled the regex libraries (ironically, using 'make'). Now when I import it (#include <boost regex.hpp="">), however, one of the *.LIB files cannot be located (BOOST_REGEX_BCB5_SSS.LIB).

C++ newbie time: how does one resolve this easily?

CColorpicker - dissapear -> toolbar

Hi!
I tried to use http://www.codeproject.org/miscctrl/colour_picker.asp in my project. In my dialog it works well!!!
But if i use in in a ttolbar (without using the ColourPick class) the popup is displayed for about 1sec and then it dissapears.

<br />
void CWordChildFrame::OnToolbarDropDown(NMTOOLBAR *pnmtb, LRESULT *)<br />
{	<br />
   CRect rc;<br />
   m_wndStyleBar.SendMessage(TB_GETRECT, pnmtb->iItem, (LPARAM)&rc);<br />
   m_wndStyleBar.ClientToScreen(&rc);<br />
	<br />
   new CColourPopup(CPoint(rc.left,rc.bottom),    <br />
      COLORREF(RGB(255,255,255)), &m_wndStyleBar, "Auto","More");  <br />
   //AfxMessageBox("test");<br />
}<br />

The strange is, that if i remove the "//", the message box is displayed and then the colorpicker works well. It is shown until i click on a color.
What have a done wrong?

Thanks mike

It's hard to say without knowing how the CColourPopup class works. Have you tried contacting the developer of the class?

As a side note, I want to point out that creating the CColourPopup object like you're doing (with new) is bad practice since the memory does not appear to be released. If each CColourPopup object does not somehow delete itself, it will remain in memory forever and more will come as the user keeps popping it on the toolbar.

Alvaro

Hi!
Thanks for your answer!
I found the problem: i removed the TBSTYLE_DROPDOWN flag from the toolbar style and it worked! Dont ask my why - it seems that the message handling of TBSTYLE_DROPDOWN works differant than the standard toolbar buttons-message.

Rich Edit Control and Fonts

Larry J. Siddens4-Sep-03 4:31

I have on the screen a rich edit control (CRichEditCtrl) that needs to be printed/drawn on a different device. There is some graphics item also being drawn. I have tired different items to draw this text out and their results. These are:

Using Format Range to output the text.
- The text comes out looking good. It does not line up with the graphics that are displayed on the screen in a WYSIWYG format. As an example; drawing a line at the end of a string on the screen. When printed this same string/line does not line up as it appears on the screen. The height of the font (lines are drawn at top and bottom) seem to indicate that the font height is correct.
Using ExtTextOut with Kerning pairs to output the text.
- This palces the strings out nicely. The graphics looks pretty good when using variable pitch fonts.
- Using Courier New Regular, it too looks pretty good.
- Using Courier New Bold does not look good. The width of the text is smaller than it appears on the screen. The height again appears to be correct (with the line above the text and below).
Using TextOut to output the text.
- This does not even appear to be close!

So, my question is there a better approach than the ones I have tried. I have the requirement to create a WYSIWYG editor that contains text/graphics. At first, I chose the Rich Text control so the users have the ability to change fonts within the control. With out using the FormatRange to print the text, I have to scan each character looking for a change in the font. The other problem, in the MSDN documentation, it states that to have a WYSIWYG text using the CRichEditCtrl, you need to associate the control with a printer. The problem is, when the user creates the document, this will not be known. I need to be able to have a device independent control and drawing.

If you are interested in seeing the test code that I'm using, please email me and I can zip it up and send it.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm now trying to get the position of the characters in the control, then outputting them seperately. Seems better, the graphics is much closer to what is on the screen. It is off some (about 1/2 of a character.) I'm wondering if it is a round off error?

GetNumberFormat for integer values

4-Sep-03 3:19

I'm trying to use the GetNumberFormat API for integer values. No fractional digits and no decimal seperator should appear in the output. I want to use the API to account for locale settings. The results should look similar to the file sizes in Explorer's File Properties dialog.

Re: GetNumberFormat for integer values

David Crow4-Sep-03 4:19

Ok, so what's the problem? Do you have a code snippet that is producing a compiler or run-time error?

NUMBERFMT fmt = {0,0,3,"",",",1};
char      szNumber[16] = "123456",
          szFmtNumber[16];
GetNumberFormat(GetThreadLocale(), 0, szNumber, &fmt, szFmtNumber, sizeof(szFmtNumber));

Re: GetNumberFormat for integer values

Lakitu4-Sep-03 7:12

I don't get an error, I don't want to use the NUMBERFMT structure but use the user locale settings for the number format, only without the fractional part. Maybe there's an API to get the number format, but apparently it's not GetNumberFormat D'Oh! | :doh:

And I wanted to avoid having to call GetLocaleInfo for each member of the NUMBERFMT struct.

You can't eat your cake and have it too. The whole premise behind using locale settings is so that applications won't make assumptions as to what the user wants. If the user sets up their machine to have , (comma) as the thousands separator, you mustn't override that with something else, or remove it altogether. Same goes for fractional digits, decimal points, negativity, etc.

I have a slightly similar situation with the project I am working on. It's a scheduling application, which makes heavy use of dates and times. The application has to work no matter what locale it is in, or what regional settings are in place. Luckily, the NLS functions minimize the pain.

A console input/output from a multiline edit control

Jerome Conus4-Sep-03 0:49

4-Sep-03 0:49

Hi !

I'd like to have in my application a console window. To do it, I just have a normal multiline edit control, which I would have to use to implement by myself the console functionalities.

I tried to think how to do it, but I have no idea how to solve these points :

-How can I make sure the cursor will stay at the prompt if the user click anywhere else ?
-How can I make sure that, even if the cursor stays at the prompt, the user will be able to select some text and copy it.
-How can I make sure that any keyboard input will be captured by my console window ?

Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated !

Thanks !
Jerome
