customize CFileDialog for dynamic Files of Type - C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards

You should just need to return FALSE from your OnOpenDocument() function to cause MFC to not create an empty document/view.

Thanks for your help...
I already tried that and it destroyed my MainFrame...
dunno how to fix it, so I do not open an openFile dialog on startup, would have been nice, but is not necessary.

Going Crazy (How to Install a Font)

Hello,

I am writing an small setup program and I need to install some fonts. I had look in MSDN and in many other places, but I can’t find the solution. AddFontResource works but only on the current session after a reboot the font is gone. I also tried CreateScalableFontResource with AddFontResource but I can’t get it to work. I copy the ttf font file to the windows fonts folder and it does not work. Here is a sample function:

//sFontFileName = Is the name of the font file Ex: arial.ttf will be arial<br />
//sFontLocation  =  Is the current location of the ttf file Ex: D:\setup\fonts\<br />
//GetWindowsFolder() = return the windows folder Ex:  c:\windows\<br />
void InstallFont(CString sFontFileName, CString sFontLocation){<br />
<br />
	CString sFontResource(GetWindowsFolder() + sFontFileName + ".fot");<br />
	CString sWinFonts(GetWindowsFolder() + "Fonts\\" + sFontFileName + ".ttf");<br />
<br />
	::CopyFile(sFontLocation + sFontFileName + ".ttf", sWinFonts, TRUE);<br />
<br />
	CreateScalableFontResource(0, sFontResource, sWinFonts, NULL);<br />
	AddFontResource( sFontFileName + ".fot" );<br />
}

If you have any ideas please help. An example will be perfect. Thanks.

We have had the same problem. Just copying the .ttf into the fonts directory is not enough. You also need to add some registry keys settings to get teh font to work correctly. Try copying in the font, use word etc to use it, which sometimes gets the font working initially. Then search the registry for the fonts filename, and hopefully that will return the reg keys you need to add, to get the font registering correctly when you first add the font.

I ran into some serious bugs in the adobe reader 6.0 activex control. (pdf.ocx has problems when trying to load .xfdf file) I've been at Adobes forums and posted about this topic. People say that the control has zero support. What is a good pdf viewer control that has support for .xfdf ?

(auto merge with linked pdf and no need to save the result. Just needs to have basic viewing features and has to be able to print)

customize CFileDialog for dynamic Files of Type

My boss wants to be able to change Files of Type pulldown dynamically inside
a CFildDialog callback. For example, we would start with a list of 5 file
types and the last file type is "More...". If the user clicks on "More..."
then the Files of Type combo is to be repopulated with 25 file types, for
example. Then the last entry is "Less..." and so the user can reduce back
to 5 file types.

Has anyone seen this done in a commercial product or a demo? I'm no
stranger to explorer style hookprocs, written them in (and out of) MFC.
I can capture the child control notification, I clear the combobox,
repopulate with a new list. However, the next time the user comes along
and picks a type, I get a null pointer in COMMDLG32.DLL.

Should I give up or is there hope?

CImage and atlimage.h?

Ok, I read about CImage on MSDN, and I have to include atlimage.h in StdAfx.h

I did it, but it says there is no such file. Where can I download it and where must I store the file (which directory)?

Thanks,

~Michael

Service stops when LOG OFF from the system

hi friends,
i m facing one problem while using services.
the problem is..........

The service behaves well initially when i start manually through service interface(service is not autostart, one has to start manually). As soon as i LOG OFF from the system & again LOG IN to the system i found that service stops however when i check the service interface it shows that service is running and even TASK MANAGER displays the EXE of SERVICE as running status.

i hope u understand my problem.
waiting for reply.

I assume that urs in an ATL Exe Service, so you register it
by servicename /Service
by doing so it wont stop ther service even if you log out.

About TrackMouseEvent function

I'll try it but I didn't use it for a long time. I used the TrackMouseEvent() for an owner drawn caption where I needed to track whether the mouse has left the caption.

Header:

bool m_bMouseTracking

Constructor:

m_bMouseTracking = false;

void OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint point):

if( !m_bMouseTracking )
{
    TRACKMOUSEEVENT tme;
    tme.cbSize = sizeof(tme);
    tme.hwndTrack = m_hWnd;
    tme.dwFlags = TME_LEAVE | TME_HOVER;
    tme.dwHoverTime = 1;
    m_bMouseTracking = _TrackMouseEvent(&tme);
}

void OnMouseLeave(WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam):

// Here I did my repainting stuff
...
m_bMouseTracking = false;

But I think you can use TrackMouseEvent() only with Windows98 and newer. If you want to be compatible to older OS's too, you should look for SetCapture() and ReleaseCapture(). Then you can check on which OS your app is running and switch to the appropriate tracking mechanism... Wink | ;)

boost makes min/max ambiguous

Hi,

when I include the boost library into my project, I get min and max as "ambiguous symbols".

it is enough to include boost/config.hpp

Now my project is fairly big (and I already removed two "using namespace std" instances in a header file), yet the error persists, and I have no idea how to track it down.

Any ideas?

Flirt harder, I'm a coder.

Have you tried defining the macro NOMINMAX in your project settings? This effectively removes Windows min and max macros.

Start by reading about Word's automation Object model.
You can, I recall, access the document's collection of tables.
Having done this, you should be able to refer to properties of the table to extract text from it.

If you know VB it's helpful

Hi,

I have an output file (text file). In the text file there are a few locations of other text files, along with the name and path of each file.

it seems like if the location is anywhere other than the desktop the file can not be found.

How can I read the location of a file from another text file and open it?

Thank

Enlarging dialog window

How can you handle the case where you want to put a Max limit on the size that you can make a MFC dialog based application window.

I store the main dialog windows size in the InitDialog routine, but how do you limit the resizing?

I placed code in the OnSize, but it did not work.
