help my project, please - C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards

I have a Internet Shortcut in a control that I want to drag onto Explorer. I have looked at Michael Dunn's article and it almost works but it wants to copy the file to Explorer. Of course it is not a file, it is just data and I want to drag this data to Explorer and create a shortcut based on the data. In other words I have a list control of internet shortcuts and I want to drag one or more to Explorer. How can I do this? Thank you Smile | :)

I want to write a mini app (GUI) to start and stop my service remotely. I want to connect to the remote computer using this mini app(GUI) and start or stop or even querry the status of a service. I use c but i welcome c++ code.
thankx!

One solution is winsock.

you can use WMI APIs.
MSDN contains a lots of examples

The returned pointer may be temporary and should not be stored for later use.

i'm using the following:

HGLOBAL hmem;
LPTSTR local_buf;

hmem = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE,500);
local_buf = (LPTSTR)GlobalLock(hmem);
lstrcpy(local_buf,"My Test");
GlobalUnlock(hmem);

if (OpenClipboard(NULL)) // i don't have a window
{
EmptyClipboard();
SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT,hmem);
}

////////////

When debugging, the OpenClipboard,EmptyClipboard worked fine, but SetClipboardData returns NULL.
After formatting the message, i got "Thread does not have a clipboard open."
i need to generally copy a CF_TEXT string to the clipboard.

I checked MSDN, but everything looks fine. What is the problem?

Thanks.

One solution is COleDataSource.

HANDLE hmem = ::GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE, 500);
PTSTR local_buf = static_cast<ptstr>(::GlobalLock(hmem));
_tcscpy(local_buf, "2004");
::GlobalUnlock(local_buf);
COleDataSource *pODS = new COleDataSource;
pODS->CacheGlobalData(CF_TEXT, hmem);
pODS->SetClipboard();

i'm not using MFC. can you send an example without using it?

Thanks.

Hello,

I was trying to create a dialog containing a calendar, so I decided to use the Month Calendar proposed by VC++ in the control bar.
But during the execution, when I click the calendar and display the selected day, I remarked that the day was wrong, 12 days more than the day I effectively clicked ...
I search in the MSDN CD to find an example and install the CmnCtrl1 project.
The MSDN project calendar reacts in the same way, 12 days more as soon as you click on another day that the current day.

Do I miss something in the use of this control ? Is it bugged ? If yes, is there a solution/workaround ? Can I use it with Win2K ?

Thanks in advance
DD

PS : I use Visual Studio 6.0 with Win2K

In fact, I found the solution on another forum.
Here is the wrong code proposed by microsoft :
CString pDate;
CTime ct;

if( m_MonthCal_1.GetCurSel(ct) )
{
pDate.Format(_T("%02d/%02d/%2d"),ct.GetMonth(),ct.GetDay(),ct.GetYear());
AfxMessageBox(pDate); // just for testing
}
Here is the right code :
CString pDate;
SYSTEMTIME ct;

if( m_MonthCal_1.GetCurSel(&ct) )
{
pDate.Format(_T("%02d/%02d/%2d"),ct.wMonth ,ct.wDay, ct.wYear );
AfxMessageBox(pDate); // just for testing
}
The correct way is to use a SYSTEMTIME instead of a CTime type ...

hi guys
anyone knows how to use functions in dlls in another dll.
i'm writing a small app which use some functions in a dll(dlla).but in dlla,i use some functions in another dll(dll2),
how to do?
thanks

I belive it is same as calling methods in dlla from ur application.

My God is more powerfull Than Your God. (the line that divides the world)

That depends on how you are using the functions/class in the DLL and if one or both are MFC extension DLLs. There are articles on this site that can help explain it. If you email me directly and give me a better idea of what you have in mind I'll see how I can assist.

Happy programming!!

thank you all.
i have the problem solved.
thank you again!

As far as i know that MFC is a wrapper for all the win32apis
My question is CSplitterWindow is wrapper for which apis??

My God is more powerfull Than Your God. (the line that divides the world)

As far i know, CSplitterWnd is not a wrapper for any equivalent Win32 API.

Splitter window is a windows with more than one panes or child windows, and where each pane is usually a CView class derived window and thats application specific.

My program needs to popup a dialog whenever the user prints to a particular printer. I have the printer driver setup to notify my application when it's being printed to, at which point I display the modal dialog. However, the the problem is the modal dialog is displayed BEHIND the application that is printing.

I tried using the obvious SetForegroundWindow function in the OnInitDialog function, and it then properly displays my dialog on top of all other windows, but only for the first time printing! After that all subsequent prints display my dialog behind the application printing again.

I also tried using SetWindowPos, SetFocus, ShowWindow, BringWindowToTop, and SetActiveWindow but nothing works.

Any ideas???

Rob Geiman

Post the code with SetWindowPos().

Kuphryn

::SetWindowPos(m_hWnd, HWND_TOP, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE);

Rob Geiman

There are several solutions. Try passing in &wndTop as the first parameter to SetWindowPos(). Try ShowWindow(SW_RESTORE).

Kuphryn

kuphryn, thanks for the suggestions.

Unfortunately non of them worked. The most is I get it popping up on top for the very the first time, and after that it's behind the other apps.

Figured it out finally!

I needed to use a bit different syntax for SetWindowPos. The line below finally worked although it set my window coordinates to 0, 0 which I don't think it should have. No biggie since a CenterWindow call fixes that.

::SetWindowPos(GetSafeHwnd(), HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_SHOWWINDOW | SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE);

Thanks again for the help!

How do prevent multiple instances of a dialog based application? I have seen the article my Newcomer which relates to non dialog base applications. Someone even posed the question to him but he never responsed.

Thanks,

Steve

One solution is via a mutex kernel object. Check out MSDN.
