Since you said that ur application showed some welcome message it means that the application worked but the logic of the application did not work. You need to cross check that some times the applications build in debug will work and in release it wount because of silly errors that in debug would not be an inssue but in release build it does, like assigning the pointer to null or initializing the member variables to default values while creating etc.

Did you enable the scrollbar in the resource editor, for the list view?

I think ListView in MDI but not list control
Thanks,

Opps sorry,
I guess the scroll bar is not always present, It comes up only when it is required, like when there are more data in the list that the screen can handle.

Still Alive!!!
Thank you God.

Because a CListCtrl uses built in scroll bars, you cannot call GetScrollBarCtrl() on it and get a CScrollbar* pointer. You need to use the CWnd scroll bar base class functions and the SB_VERT or SB_HORZ flag to specify if your working with the horizontal or vertical scrollbar.

m_Ctrl.SetScrollPos(SB_VERT, position);

Good day,

I have an application that runs:
msdev c:\TEST.dsw /MAKE "TEST - Win32 Release" /REBUILD /OUT c:\\output.log

msdev outputs the compilation in output.log and while the msdev is compiling the application, i also want to get the appended line in output.log. The same application that executes the msdev...also access output.log to display it in listbox. But i could not accessed the file,, possible coz is sharing..How could I access this file so that I could put the appended line by msdev to output log and the same time get that appended line and output it in my listbox?

I try to use cl, but it will make a long code whereas in msdev, you just input the .dsw or .dsp.

If i try to remove the option--> /OUT c:\\output.log, msdev will output it in a console or stdout. If its the case, how could i also access the file to reflect it in the listbox?

Thanks a lot and more power!

I have a com object in which there are different properties. When i get these values through it works well when property is returning long or some other integer but it crashes when property is returning bstr. Take a look at my code and guide me that what i did wrong.
VARIANT pvResult;
memset(&pvResult, 0, sizeof pvResult);
VariantInit(&pvResult);
DISPID dispID=this->pColl->getMemberID(index);
DISPPARAMS dispParamsNoArgs={NULL,NULL,0,0};
HRESULT hr=pDispatch->Invoke(dispID,IID_NULL,LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT,
DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET,&dispParamsNoArgs,
&pvResult,NULL,&nArgErr);
Thanx in advance

A Snippet of code from a junk app of mine :-

//Start a new workbook in Excel
_Application oApp;
oApp.CreateDispatch("Excel.Application");
if (!oApp)
{
	AfxMessageBox("Cannot start Excel");
	return;
}
		
Workbooks oBooks = oApp.GetWorkbooks();
_Workbook oBook = oBooks.Add(vOpt);
Worksheets oSheets = oBook.GetWorksheets();
_Worksheet oSheet = oSheets.GetItem(COleVariant((short)1));
Range oRange;
long bMergeAcross = 0;
//prepare style
Styles styles = oBook.GetStyles();
			
Style s = styles.Add("Style with Center Text", vOpt);
		
s.SetVerticalAlignment(2);
s.SetHorizontalAlignment(3);
Font oFont = s.GetFont();
oFont.SetSize(COleVariant((long)FONT_SIZE_JUSTIFICATION));
	
VARIANT vt;
vt.vt = VT_DISPATCH;
vt.pdispVal = s.m_lpDispatch;

//use vt as a new style
oRange.SetStyle(vt);
		
oRange=oSheet.GetRange(COleVariant("A1"),COleVariant("A2"));
oFont = oRange.GetFont();
oFont.SetBold(COleVariant((short)TRUE));

Hope this helps Smile | :)

By the way you will have to import the type library to use these classes

Getting ENTER key to act like TAB

I have an application with an edit box that receives input from a barcode scanner. When the scanner it set up to add the TAB key after the scanned code, everything works great since the KILL_FOCUS is activated.

But I'd like to also receive the scanned code followed by the ENTER key. Currently the ENTER key has the same effect as pressing the dialog box’s default pushbutton. It exits the dialog box after acting on the KILL_FOCUS message, which frustrates the application.

If I remove the default pushbutton IDOK from the dialog box, then the ENTER key won't exit the edit box and do KILL_FOCUS.

Any way to easily make the ENTER do exactly what TAB does?

Thanks!!

Create a PreTranslateMessage handler for you dialog/form view and have code such as

if(pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN)
{
if(pMsg->wParam == VK_RETURN)
{
long nID = ::GetDlgCtrlID(pMsg->hwnd);
switch (nID)
{
case IDC_BTN_DOSOMETHING:
case IDOK:
break; //allow default behaviour - I assume you do want to respond to button presses
default:
NextDlgCtrl();
return true; //message has been handled
}
}
}

As mentioned previously, use the pretranslate message but do this:

if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN && wParam == VK_RETURN)
{
	// change to tab if were on an edit control
	CWnd *pWnd = GetFocus();
	if (pWnd)
	{
		if (pWnd->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CEdit)))
		{
			pMsg->wParam = VK_TAB;
		}
	}
}

call the base class here
