Could someone tell me the realtionships between OnPaint / OnSize / OnCreate / OnInitialUpdate / OnUpdate of a view and it what process?
It seem they all get used and I cannot figure out in what sequence.
Which method should do the initial data processing - OnPaint ? MFC wizard notes " Do not use in view" , but it adds GetDocument code in OnPaint - why?
My application has several views ( graphics and data tables) of a document which initially has no data in it. I need to build all these views and than fill them up with data at random intervals. I have managed to build initial tiled views, but I am having trouble updating (UpdateAllViews) and resizing individual views. I have also noted that some of the methods are used more than once in a process - especially OnPaint. My basic test MFC MDI application seems to go thru several different sequences each time I start it.Thanks for your help. Vaclav

You might want to set a breakpoint at the beginning of each one to see the order in which each is called. Be careful with OnPaint(), however, as it's called a bunch!

How about OnInitialUpdate()?

How can you draw a bitmap outside of OnPaint() function?
calling "CPaintDC dc(this)" outside of OnPaint() compiles and executes, but doesnt work.

CDC* dc = GetDC();
dc->BitBlt(...);
ReleaseDC(dc);

Jorgen's method is one way. Another is to use CClientDC(this)

Hi,
I'm trying to develop an process host like "svchost.exe". But i'm in trouble with method calling from a different process. As a result i want to call a function from another process and get its return value. Can i do that? What way should i follow to do that? By the way i can get process number which i created.
Second question is, how can i create "wait status" process? These processes should be in wait status until i call a function from this process?
Thank you...

Ok. But i can't use WaitForSingleObject() because processes should be in "wait status". I don't want to wait end of process. If i use WaitForSingleObject(), i should wait end of process. But process shouldn't be stop. Process should be wait for a signal from another process without termination.
Regards...

For C++ code I am writing for a COM server I need a functionality where I have a fileName as Input and need to know if the File exists !
Preferably non MFC code is desired !
would a call like
string fileName
.
.
FILE *fPtr;
fPtr=fopen(fileName.c_str(), "r");
can i test fPtr and judge if the file is present or not ! Is it safe to do that ?

A pure Win32 API solution:
<code>
bool DoesFileExist(LPCTSTR pFileName)
{
WIN32_FIND_DATA findData;
HANDLE hFind = FindFirstFile(pFileName, &findData);
if (hFind == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
return false;
FindClose(hFind);
return true;
}</code>
Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine.

Here are at least two ways:
_access();
_stat();
GetFileAttributes();

Hi All!
Trying to get the image of a window using Hbitmap,DC,Memory DC and BitBlt.
This works fine, but since the function BitBlt copies from the screen, I am having tough time gettin the image of a hidden or partially shadowed window.
So is it possible to get the image of a window(even if its partially hidden) if we know its DC? I would also like to get more information on how does windows actually renders a DC. Can we force the rendering to a memory DC or memory buffer (instead to the screen) from where the image can be copied?
Thanks!

u can send it a wm_paint message and pass a dc in
it should render to the dc u pass in

Sorry dear,
i'm afraid but wm_paint doesnt solves the problem!

Hats off!
undoubtedly, its a great article.
But something strange happened when i used WM_PRINT. None of the windows got printed, except my very own application window.
Actually my application is kind of SPY++, so it identifies a window by mouse cursor position. The HWND is then send to the folowing function get_image().
following is the code snippet i'm using currently:
BOOL CVenomDlg::get_image(HWND hwnd)
{
HBITMAP hBitmap ;
HDC hdc,hdcMem;
BITMAP bitmap ;
RECT rc;
::GetWindowRect(hwnd,&rc);//get the bounding rectamgle
hdc=::GetDC(hwnd);//get the dc
hdcMem = ::CreateCompatibleDC (hdc) ;//create memory dc
hBitmap = ::CreateCompatibleBitmap (hdc, rc.right-rc.left, rc.bottom-rc.top) ;//create bitmap
::GetObject (hBitmap, sizeof (BITMAP), &bitmap) ;//get bitmap info into bitmap struct
::SelectObject (hdcMem, hBitmap) ;//make the bitmap as the surface of memory dc
::SendMessage(hwnd, WM_PRINT , (WPARAM) hdcMem,PRF_CHILDREN | PRF_CLIENT | PRF_ERASEBKGND | PRF_NONCLIENT | PRF_OWNED);
::ReleaseDC(hwnd,hdc);
//copy the data to clipboard also!
::OpenClipboard(hwnd);
::EmptyClipboard();
::SetClipboardData(CF_BITMAP, hBitmap);
::CloseClipboard();
//the clipboard contains a black rectangle???
//copy the image to static control...
//my own stuff to copy the hdcMem contents to a
//static control
.
.
.
.
::DeleteObject(hdcMem);
::DeleteObject(hBitmap);
return(TRUE);
}

Hi,
From my SDI application I can open XML documents in my application using the Menus File | Open.
I want to open the XML documents in my application by right-clicking on the XML document and then selecting Open With and selecting my application.
Can anyone please tell me how I can do that?
It’s urgent
Thanks in advance

Basically, you need to create a menu in the resource entry. Create a new menubar, but don't add the menubar to your frame window.
Now make a submenu and add your menu items. Make sure the "Open With" entry has the same ID as "Menu File | Open". This will reuse your already existing code to open an XML document since it will call the event handler you already have in your message map.
In your application you need to trap the right click event, i.e. WM_RBUTTONDOWN. Then fire up the submenu using this (pseudo)code:
HMENU hMenuBar = ::LoadMenu(hInstance, ID_OF_YOUR_NEWLY_CREATED_MENUBAR);
HMENU hSubMenu = ::GetSubMenu(hMenuBar, 0);
TrackPopupMenuEx(hSubMenu, TPM_SEE_MSDN_DOCS, x_coord, y_coord, 0, m_hWndOfEventReceiveingWindow, NULL);
Since you didn't specify what toolkit you are using, I used the Win32 API. If you are using MFC or ATL/WTL, you can easily find the corresponding functions since they more or less map 1:1

why do I need to create a menu? I guess I didn't make my problem clear enough.
any xml file in my computer-> right-click on it->Open With->Choose Program ->Other -> brows to and select my program -> OK.
so no menu creation is needed.
Now I just want to know if I do that how the XML file name is passed to my application and where do I capture that name to work on it.

Ah, you want to create a shell extension.
Have you looked around here?[^] Michael Dunns "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing Shell Extensions" should get you going.

Just take a look at the registry:
HK_CLASSES_ROOT\xmlfile\shell\Open\command
That should give you some idees.

RECT rect;
LPCRECT rect2;
AfxGetApp()->GetMainWnd()->GetClientRect(&rect);
rect2->left=rect.left; rect2->right=rect.right;
rect2->top=rect.top; rect2->bottom=rect.bottom/6;
cdc->FillRect(rect2,cb);
 
Why isn't this thing working? I know no other way of copying rects. Any suggestions are welcome.

LPCRECT is a pointer, so do this:
RECT rect;
RECT rect2templ;
LPCRECT rect2 = &rect2templ;
AfxGetApp()->GetMainWnd()->GetClientRect(&rect);
rect2->left=rect.left; rect2->right=rect.right;
rect2->top=rect.top; rect2->bottom=rect.bottom/6;
cdc->FillRect(rect2,cb);

_outp(0x64, 0xAD);
and
__asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al
do the same... but what do they do??

Hmm, thanks, it helped me out...

Ask yourself the following question; Where does rect2 point?
Also, since you're using MFC, why not use CRect?
