Try the windows API version of the function. There's nothing (that I saw) on the MSDN CD about this.

Try this and see if it will position correctly:

::MoveWindow(this->GetSafeHwnd(), 0, 0, 200, 200, TRUE);

With SetWindowPos....

BOOL SetWindowPos(
  HWND hWnd,             // handle to window
  HWND hWndInsertAfter,  // placement-order handle
  int X,                 // horizontal position
  int Y,                 // vertical position
  int cx,                // width
  int cy,                // height
  UINT uFlags            // window-positioning flags
);

Re: How Can I set a CDialog's location when it display?

CDialog automatically calls CenterWindow() for you after OnInitDialog() returns if the dialog is at coordinates (0,0). You'll need to put it at some other position (like (1,1) or (0,1) or whatever) to avoid CDialog repositioning it for you.

Hi,
I am trying to use #import for 2 simliar components.

#import "E:\tools\x\Record.dll" no_namespace
#import "E:\tools\x\AudioFile.dll"

I am getting an error
d:\lab\try2rec\debug\audiofile.tli(59)... overloaded function differs only by return type

can someone please let me know the problem

Probably record.dll and audiofile.dll both define a function with the same name but with different return types. You can avoid this by using namespaces.

I am in desperate need of some good advice. I am trying to implement a dynamic menu system but the trouble is that I never know how many menu items i will have/need until run-time. Every item runs a standard algorithm (so it needs to be mapped to the same function), which is basically loading a particular file (which is why I don`t know how many items I need til runtime). Do I have to use dynamic message mapping? if so how could I implement it? or is there a function which gives me a handle to the menu? I have tried using WM_MENUSELECT, and this does pretty much what I need except it works as soon as you put the mouse of the item (i.e. you don`t have to even click the item for it to run the algorithm). Is there anyway of getting it to run only after I`ve clicked the item? Sorry, I don`t have any code examples because I`m still scratching my head wondering which direction to take. I would definately appreciate your thoughts on this guys, as it`s really holding me back and is stressing me out beyond belief.

Thanks,
Alan.

If you can assign your menu items consequetive identifiers you can use ON_COMMAND_RANGE.

Thanks for the response, I think that is a good idea, but I don`t know what the ON_COMMAND_RANGE would be until run-time, so how would I be able to set it then? Also can you explain how to assign consequtive identifiers to the menu items? I`ve tried using a UINT called count which increments, but rather sadly it failed me.

Thanks again Steen,
Alan.

Well, I haven't actually done this myself so I guess it's on a rather academic level Wink | ;-)

The MRU in MFC works by using a range of identifiers for the MRU items on the file menu. You could look at the MFC source to get some ideas. But from the top of my head I think MFC reserves 16 identifiers (ID_FILE_MRU1 to ID_FILE_MRU16, not sure about the names). This of course means that there's a max of 16 items on the MRU list. It then maps this range to a function (OnFileMru maybe?). Since the ID of the selected item is passed to the message handler you can surely take it from there.

So what you'll need is a first identifier and a maximum possible last identifier (there's nobody preventing you from setting it to first id + 200, that should kindda cover it, right?), and some assurance that your IDs are not used by other menu items. Those identifiers that are not in use at any particular moment will not be selectable and will thus not generate any WM_COMMANDs, so there's no need to sanity-check the ID that caused the WM_COMMAND in the handler (but I would do it anyway, just out of paranoia Wink | ;-)

Cheers
Steen.

Mutiple language

23-Oct-01 2:43

I am programing under WINDOWS NT4 with Visual C++6.0 and I use the MFC.
I would like to dynamicaly change the language of the standard windows as "Print setup dialog" or "Print preview view" and standard messages as "Please enter a number." when you type a character in a edit control wich is associated whith a real member variable .
I change the language ID with SetThreadLocal, it works for my own resources but not for these windows and stringtable.
I try to modify the path of the afxres.rc or afxprint.rc in my .rc file, it doesn't work better.
I found the print preview toolbar and the messages resources inside the mfc42loc dll so I maybe just have to find the English and German DLL for these resource but it doesn't work for the Print setup dialog wich depend of the System language.

The solution must work either under NT4 ,Windows 2000 and XP!!!

Thanks for help...

Yes, MFC42LOC.DLL contains the localized resources - it'll give you 'Please enter a number' and other UI elements implemented by MFC in your language. Note that MFC42LOC should be in the Windows system directory.

However, it will not change the strings in common dialogs for opening/saving file, print setup etc. - these are parts of the operating system itself. The only way to overcome that is to re-implement, but it would take a lot of effort.

23-Oct-01 3:15

Hello Tomasz

I also found the messages and the print preview button text in the afxres.rc and afxprint.rc files. I try to include them in my own RC file but it still doesn't work.

Re: Mutiple language

Tomasz Sowinski23-Oct-01 3:21

You should include these files only if your app links to MFC statically - in such case there's no need to use MFC42LOC.DLL.

I have an idea: if i find the mfc42loc.dll in english, french and german, could I rename them and load the apropriate one dynamicaly ?
I would like to try, I use a french version of visual C++, could anyone send other language versions of mfc42loc.dll.

For the standard .rc file could I built resource DLLs and load them dynamicaly with AfxSetResourceHandle(LoadLibrary(mydll)) ?

Do you think it could work ?

Use 'Find in Files' to locate MFC code which loads MFC42LOC.DLL - just search for 'MFC42LOC' in vc98\mfc\src. Do not change MFC sources, rather copy the code into your application and load appropriate DLL at runtime, depending on language settings.

For the standard .rc file could I built resource DLLs and load them dynamicaly with AfxSetResourceHandle(LoadLibrary(mydll)) ?

If by 'standard .rc' you mean resources of your app, then yes, this is the way to go. Also, you can consider placing one (main) language in the .exe. This will make working with IDE easier - you'll be able to add command handlers from ClassWizard, etc.

You need to make diferent .rc files.
Then you need to set te resource file where the resources will be load using the following function:

AfxSetResourceHandle(HINSTANCE hInstResource); Where hInstance is the HINSTANCE that you get using LoadLibrary or AfxLoadLibrary(LPCTSTR lpszModuleName);

I trace through code and I watch variable values in watch window. I have a problem with watching structures: I can only see structure's address, I can't see structure members' values. This problem does not occur always. I use Visual Studio (C++) 6 adn Win2000. What would solve this problem?

are you sure it isn't a structure pointer ?, try adding a * in front of the variable or use "variable->member" to see the value for that field.
