Hai,
I am ving two icon handles, and want to combine them. So that one will be the overlay over the another. I tried with the following code, but it is not displaying properly. Any other solutions?

HICON CAutoDocuFileDlg::CombineIcons(HICON topIcon,HICON bottomIcon)
{// begin CombineIcons
ICONINFO newIcon;
newIcon.fIcon = true;
HDC screenDC = ::GetDC(NULL);
HDC iconDC = CreateCompatibleDC(screenDC);
HDC maskDC = CreateCompatibleDC(screenDC);
newIcon.hbmColor = CreateCompatibleBitmap(screenDC,16,16);
newIcon.hbmMask = CreateCompatibleBitmap(maskDC,16,16);
HGDIOBJ oldIconDC = ::SelectObject(iconDC,newIcon.hbmColor);
HGDIOBJ oldMaskDC = ::SelectObject(maskDC,newIcon.hbmMask);
BitBlt(iconDC,0,0,16,16,NULL,0,0,BLACKNESS);
BitBlt(maskDC,0,0,16,16,NULL,0,0,WHITENESS);

DrawIconEx(iconDC,0,0,topIcon,16,16,NULL,NULL,DI_
IMAGE);
BitBlt(iconDC,0,0,16,16,NULL,0,0,DSTINVERT); //
DrawIconEx(maskDC,0,0,topIcon,16,16,NULL,NULL,DI_
MASK);
DrawIconEx(iconDC,0,0,bottomIcon,16,16,NULL,NULL,
DI_NORMAL);
BitBlt(iconDC,0,0,16,16,NULL,0,0,DSTINVERT);
DrawIconEx(maskDC,0,0,bottomIcon,16,16,NULL,NULL,
DI_MASK);
BitBlt(maskDC,0,0,16,16,NULL,0,0,DSTINVERT);

::SelectObject(iconDC,oldIconDC);
::SelectObject(maskDC,oldMaskDC);
HICON newFileIcon = CreateIconIndirect(&newIcon);
::ReleaseDC(NULL,screenDC);
DeleteDC(maskDC);
DeleteDC(iconDC);
DeleteObject(newIcon.hbmColor);
DeleteObject(newIcon.hbmMask);
DeleteObject(oldIconDC);
DeleteObject(oldMaskDC);
return newFileIcon;
}// end CombineIcons

CMultiColumnComboBox Help

I recently added the .h and .cpp files from this link:

http://www.codeproject.com/combobox/mccombobox.asp

It says in the directions to add the line #include "MultiColumnComboBox.h" in the .cpp file, but then the visual studios won't recognize variables of this type in the .h file. Besides, the demo project on the link actually includes the library in the .h file of the class using it...so I did that. Now I'm getting a linker error for every function call that I try to make with the variables I declare of type CMultiColumnComboBox. The view classes I'm using these variables in are CFormView classes. Any ideas would be appreciated...Thanks a ton!

I can't for the life of me get 2 STATIC controls to use a white background instead of system COLOR_BTNFACE or whatever that color is.

Can someone give me the code required to change 2 named STATIC controls background color to white?

I have tried returning a white brush, but if I test the window handles to see if they match the STATIC controls inside OnCtlColor nothing happens??? Confused | :confused:

I'm lost and getting mad

Any help appreciated

Cheers

I stole this code form the MSDN article the last poster sent me...I ave no idea where m_brush comes from, but regardless the following ode doesn't work either....

I dunno if it's because I call SetDialogBkColor() in InitInstance or what, but this is pissin me off Smile | :)

HBRUSH hbr = CDragDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
	
// Are we painting the IDC_MYSTATIC control? We can use
// CWnd::GetDlgCtrlID() to perform the most efficient test.
if(pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_STATIC_ACCOUNT){
      
  // Set the text color to red
  //pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255, 0, 0));

  // Set the background mode for text to transparent 
  pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);

  // Return handle to our CBrush object
  //hbr = m_brush;
}

return hbr;

Thanks

You have to return a hbursh or the pdc settings is ignored,

the m_brush is a member variable of the dialog which is created during its initialization. you wanted to make the background white rite, so create a member variable of CBrush with RGB(255,255,255) and return this brush from the OnCtlColor method.

Odd memory leak cleans self upon window minimization

I have a memory leak in my Windows GUI program. When I go to my task manager I see the memory usage increasing by about 200k every second. I haven't been able to isolate it completely, but I notice that whenever I minimize the window, the memory usage jumps back to about 1070k and then restarts its slow ascent as it's minimized. Anybody have any idea what's happening? I have an OpenGL child window.

Hello Folks!

I've tried without success to put text and bitmap in the same line inside a RichEdit control. Until now I get only the bitmap or only the text. There's a way to do that (using MFC, or not) ?

Thanks for any reply.

How to modify just a line of text in a file?

If I have a text file as below, I want to modify the line 3 "This is a test line3" to "Line changed.

What is the best way to do that beside creating a new file?

--------- text file -------------
This is a test line1
This is a test line2
This is a test line3
This is a test line4
This is a test line 5
----------------------------------

Well, if you absolutely cannot create a new file, you can read in each line of the file to an array or list object. Skip the line that needs changed. Insert text that represents the changed line. Continue reading the remaining lines from the file. Now write the entire data structure back out to the file. Make sense?

Hello,

I'm trying to map a network drive, but it seems not to appear anything in the MSDN, does anybody know how do I have to do it?

PS:
I'm doing it from the system account before starting a session and from XYNTService (you can find it here in CP).

Thank you in advance.
