Pls help. How to get the application icon of any application? Chau Nguyen23-Oct-03 17:47 Chau Nguyen 23-Oct-03 17:47  Thank you for your help first. I'd like to get the application icon (small icon on title bar) of any application. I used the API function SendMessage with WM_GETICON message to the window of that application, some applications return the handle of its application icon (eg: Windows Explorer, ...), but some do not (eg: MS Outlook, NotePad,...). Please tell me other ways to do that. Thanks a lot. chaunguyen Re: Pls help. How to get the application icon of any application? Iain Clarke, Warrior Programmer24-Oct-03 4:46 Iain Clarke, Warrior Programmer 24-Oct-03 4:46  You could go about it laterally. Assuming WM_GETICON fails... Get the file of the executable (GetModuleFileNameEx), and pick the first icon resource in it. Iain. Re: Pls help. How to get the application icon of any application? Chau Nguyen29-Oct-03 19:18 Chau Nguyen 29-Oct-03 19:18  Thanks Iain for your early help. Your solution works, but in some case it return an icon which is not the current application icon. Anyway, that's fine, thanks. Chau Nguyen Re: Pls help. How to get the application icon of any application? Gary R. Wheeler25-Oct-03 4:46 Gary R. Wheeler 25-Oct-03 4:46  Try using SHGetFileInfo.

It works. chaunguyen MFC custom control - custom message offset? mindows23-Oct-03 17:06 mindows 23-Oct-03 17:06  I'm building a mfc custom control, and it includes some custom messages that are sent out to a designated CWnd when some events are triggered. for now, i've defined them as something like #define WM_BLAH_1 WM_USER+100 #define WM_BLAH_2 WM_USER+101 .... ... what's a recommended/proper way to define my own custom messages? I'm hoping to make this so that other people can use the control without worrying about custom window message colliding with other custom messages. thanks in advance, Re: MFC custom control - custom message offset?

Also, are you ensuring that lnRes is ERROR_SUCCESS before attempting to use hKey? Five birds are sitting on a fence. Three of them decide to fly off. How many are left? Re: simple registry questions :) joshfl24-Oct-03 3:14 joshfl 24-Oct-03 3:14  yes, i made sure lnRes was ERROR_SUCCESS...., i actually didnt catch a return from RegDeleteKey() ill be messing w/ it some more tonight, and if I cant figure it out ill be sure to include that in my next post. todo.... :: insert inspirational text here :: Re: simple registry questions :) John M.

Drescher24-Oct-03 4:09 John M. Drescher 24-Oct-03 4:09  Yes, it is included in all operating systems but functions differently. I beleive it depends on if the Key has values. In one operating system it removes the whole tree in another it does not. John Re: simple registry questions :) joshfl24-Oct-03 6:19 joshfl 24-Oct-03 6:19  i browsed through it , i probably shouldve read better, i thought I could just specify a subkey to delete with an initialized key handle, but i see its not that easy HKEY hKey; LONG lnRes = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run", 0L, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, &hKey ); LPCTSTR keyname = "xlaunch"; RegDeleteKey(hKey, keyname); RegCloseKey(hKey); xlaunch is my subkey, that i created beforehand in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run ?? i may not even have the concepts right than, but i thought the hKey was the main key, xlaunch would be my subkey that hold the data.. ? this is my first attempt at windows registry manipulation todo.... :: insert inspirational text here :: Re: simple registry questions :) John M.

John find start and end of string? alex.barylski23-Oct-03 16:29 alex.barylski 23-Oct-03 16:29  The implementation I have now is rather un-efficient, just wondering if you know of a better way? 1) Make copy of CString 2) Find all \'(escaped single quotes) and replace with placeholder *'s 3) In a while loop find existing single quotes and take note of start and finish indexes 4) each start and finish pair will be extracted and further analyzed This is a quick and dirty approach but I like optimized. I Don't expect anyone to bother sitting and trying to optimize it for me, but if you've had experience in extracting strings from strings please show me how in some simple code Thanks I'm drinking triples, seeing double and acting single Re: find start and end of string?

Re: find start and end of string? alex.barylski23-Oct-03 17:04 alex.barylski 23-Oct-03 17:04  Basically I have a CString which holds a PHP code. I need to be able to record the index of the start and end of a string inside the CString itself (single quoted and double quoted strings). Like most languages PHP does not consider escaped quotes to mean END OF STRING. So I need to devise code that basically starts at the index zero of the string(buffer) and iterates each token(character) and when it finds a single quote(not escaped) it records it's index in the string and repeats iterating until it hits a closing string(not escaped) and record that index too...then i'll use CString::Mid() to pull the data out of CString buffer and analyze it. I can't for love nor money figure out how do get this done I'm drinking triples, seeing double and acting single Re: find start and end of string? Johnny ²23-Oct-03 23:20 Johnny ² 23-Oct-03 23:20  You could do a CString::Find for the quote, and loop until you find one that is not preceeded by a '\': pos = mystring.Find ('\'');<br /> if (pos > 0 && mystring[pos - 1] != '\\')<br /> found it! Do that to obtain both the start and end positions, and extract the contents. Re: find start and end of string?

CString str; int nStart = str.Find("\\'"); int nEnd = str.Find("\\'", nStart + 1); Five birds are sitting on a fence. Three of them decide to fly off.

Could you pls give me the address to download? Thanks! Re: help:about regex.hpp Andrew Walker23-Oct-03 21:42 Andrew Walker 23-Oct-03 21:42  A bit more information about which regex library you are looking for would be helpful. You might try boost::regex, available from www.boost.org If you can keep you head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts you aim; Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it.

Release woes Jim Crafton23-Oct-03 15:09 Jim Crafton 23-Oct-03 15:09  I have a release build in VC6, with Optimizations on for Maximize Speed I have a DLL that is loaded dynamically, which calls a member function of a class that is declared (and exported ) from another (also built in release). The function adds an entry into a std::map where the map is a member variable of the class and declared map<std::string,std::string> This crashes within the STL impl of the map. If I turn off the Maximize speed option it works fine. Any suggestions as to how to track this down? I have seen something like this before where direct access to the map is allowed, but in this case it is not made publicly available - all access is wrapped with methods of the class. I have rebuilt things several times from scratch and still have the error. 2-3 weeks ago everything was working fine. Crap Any suggestions are most welcome at this point Thanks <i>¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!</i> <i>Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)!</i> <font size="1" color="black">SELECT * FROM <b>User</b> WHERE <b>Clue</b> > 0 <b>0 rows returned</b> </font> Re: Release woes Iain Clarke, Warrior Programmer24-Oct-03 4:23 Iain Clarke, Warrior Programmer 24-Oct-03 4:23  You can compile software in release mode, but with debug symbles. This may help you track the fault down. For example memory is allocated with room at each ends in debug mode, but not in release, thus hiding bugs... Look for "Debugging Release Mode" on MSDN as I remember. Iain.
