Internet-Explorer allows you to install small COM-Objects known as BHOs (Browser Helper Objects), which can display content in Internet-Explorer and Explorer's Toolbar, receive the raw HTML being displayed, etc, etc.

Make the RequestProcess1 as static function. Refer the SDK.
The _beginthread is declared as

unsigned long _beginthread( void( __cdecl *start_address )( void * ), unsigned stack_size, void *arglist );

I have created an activeX control, in which i added a property page whom based class is COlePropertyPage. Everything is all right. In the next step, i want to show my property page as a simple CDialog. As the based class of the COlePropertyPage class is CDialog, i thought to write the following :

Without seeing any code it's impossible to answer.

Are you using the right thread ID? Does the thread have a message queue? Are you processing messages from the queue?

ListBox in ComboBox

Can I retrieve a pointer to the listbox of a combobox in CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style?
I'd like to change the dropped rect, but unfortunately there is no SetDroppedRect().

If you want to change the size of the listbox when we click the dropdown button of the combobox at design time, the solution is below.

1. First doubleclick the dialog from the resource view.
2. Then select your combo box.
3. Now click on the dropdown button on the combobox.
4. Then resize the selection (drag baseline of the selction rectangle) and that will be the size of the listbox.

isn't it simple? Smile | :)

You can change the width and height of the dropdown listbox with following two functions in CComboBox.

to change the dropdown list width
to the longest string in the combobox

<br />
// The pointer to my combo box.<br />
extern CComboBox* pmyComboBox;<br />
<br />
// Find the longest string in the combo box.<br />
CString str;<br />
CSize   sz;<br />
int     dx=0;<br />
CDC*    pDC = pmyComboBox->GetDC();<br />
for (int i=0;i < pmyComboBox->GetCount();i++)<br />
{<br />
   pmyComboBox->GetLBText( i, str );<br />
   sz = pDC->GetTextExtent(str);<br />
<br />
   if (sz.cx > dx)<br />
      dx = sz.cx;<br />
}<br />
pmyComboBox->ReleaseDC(pDC);<br />
<br />
// Adjust the width for the vertical scroll bar and the left and right border.<br />
dx += ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXVSCROLL) + 2*::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXEDGE);<br />
<br />
// Set the width of the list box so that every item is completely visible.<br />
pmyComboBox->SetDroppedWidth(dx);<br />

Change the each item height of dropdown list to 50px

<br />
// The pointer to my combo box.<br />
extern CComboBox* pmyComboBox;<br />
<br />
// Set the height of every item to be the<br />
// vertical size of the item's text extent.<br />
CString str;<br />
CSize   sz;<br />
int     dx=0;<br />
CDC*    pDC = pmyComboBox->GetDC();<br />
for (int i=0;i < pmyComboBox->GetCount();i++)<br />
{<br />
   pmyComboBox->SetItemHeight( i, 50 );<br />
}<br />
pmyComboBox->ReleaseDC(pDC);<br />
<br />
<br />

greatest thing is to do wot others think you cant Smile | :)

Thx a lot for helping.

But what heppens when the strings are so long the can't be fully displayed and the horizontal scrollbar needs to be shown?
Answer : in case of 1 item there is an invisible scrollbar,
in case of 2 items, the scrollbar covers the second item
in case of more items, it looks nice and correct.

In the first two cases the solution with a horizontal scrollbar does not look nice, so I thought to resize the listbox in height but you cannot because c++ itself does resize the listbox to the number of items in the list without taking the size of a horizontal listbox into account.

Can I prohibbit this automatic sizing?

and again, Thx for helping Smile | :)

When you get a buffer for the path with GetBuffer(), you need to specify a buffer size to allocate. At the moment, the string is empty, so GetLength() returns 0, so your buffer is 0 characters long. Allocate at least MAX_PATH characters and you should be ok. You also need to release the string buffer after.

CString m_strFolderPath;

LPMALLOC pMalloc = NULL;
LPITEMIDLIST pidl = NULL;
BROWSEINFO bi;
ZeroMemory(&bi, sizeof(BROWSEINFO));

// set the bi's default values
bi.hwndOwner = m_hWnd;
bi.lpszTitle = _T("Current folder is:");
bi.ulFlags = BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS | BIF_STATUSTEXT;
//bi.lpfn = BrowseCallbackProc;
pidl = SHBrowseForFolder(&bi);
if(pidl != NULL)
{
    SHGetPathFromIDList(pidl, m_strFolderPath.GetBuffer(MAX_PATH));
    m_strFolder.ReleaseBuffer();
    UpdateData(FALSE);
    // free memory
    if(SUCCEEDED(SHGetMalloc(&pMalloc)) && pMalloc)
    {
        pMalloc->Free(pidl); 
        pMalloc->Release(); 
    }
    m_EditPath.SetWindowText(m_strFolderPath);
}

Hope this helps,

In CreateProcess what shld be first and 2nd parameter, so that whole computer is searched for executable file say ypager.exe file.

Re: CreateProcess

Jijo.Raj11-Jan-04 19:49

1. The first parameter of the CreateProcess is the filename of the exe that you want to execute.

2. The second parameter is the commandline arguments (if any) that you wish to pass to the executable.

The createProcess wont search the whole system when you give a filename. It just execute the exe file that you specify by the first parameter.

if you need to run an executable that located somewhere in the system, use CFileFind class and its FindFile () and function to search the system for that file and then get the filepath using appropreate functions and then give it as the first argument of CreateProcess ().

Isn't it simple ? Wink | ;)

Jijo.

Hello,

In CreateProcess first parameter in file name of the process.

It may be application name (Search with in current directory) or full path name of the application.

But, we can use both application name and command line in the secound parameter.

Example,

CreateProcess(NULL, "\"C:\\programname.exe\" -L -S", ...)

It is an MDI application with Full Server option selected in Step 3 of AppWizard and Base class as CFormView. The base class for the document is COleServerDoc.
Other than using CreateNewFrame() and InitalUpdateFrame()what all should be added?

Have you tried setting a breakpoint on the varaibles to see if its being changed anywhere?

To do this, get the address of your m_bBool and enter it into the Breakpoints Data page as

*(int*)(0xaddress)

Set the elements to 1, and you shoudl get a BP set when the varaible is changed.
