What's the difference between
typedef struct _MYSTRUCT {<br />
int nValue;<br />
DWORD dwValue2;<br />
}MYSTRUCT;
and
struct MYSTRUCT {<br />
int nValue;<br />
DWORD dwValue2;<br />
};
With each of them I can instantiate variables of type MYSTRUCT like:
MYSTRUCT myStruct;
And I doesn't need the old C style:
struct MYSTRUCT myStruct;
So why should I use typedef combined with struct. Are there any advantages or disadvantages.
Thanks for any comment.

you're not obiged to...
the reason some code use this, it is because C don't allow to use types without the struct identifier, or when your struct is typedefed...
In C++, it is only a portability reason...

In a good old C, you can use structures only with the keyword struct. In C++, the only advantage of using typedef is, that you write the struct name with one word  . In your example, MYSTRUCT is an alias to struct _MYSTRUCT.

hi eerybody,
i am having a problem with popup menus.
The handlers associated with the menus are not called when i click on the menuitem in release mode but things work fine with debug mode.
Can anyone help.
thnx in advance,
Amit

in debug mode, compiler do some more operations such as setting default variable values to 0 and undefined pointers to NULL. this may cause a wrong code to be run correctly, so check your code again and look for these types of errors.

i looked over but didn't get any problem of type.

Hi everyone,
I'm writing a program in which I need to display PDF file. I used CHtmlView class and open the PDF file so that Acrobat Reader will be automatically executed. The point here is that I want to hide the toolbar of acrobat component but cann't achieve (I tried to use DDE command but it just has effect with Acrobat Reader program but not the component inside the web page.)
Now I'm in urgent. Any suggestion is really highly appreciated !!!
Best regards.

Have you looked at the Acrobat SDK ?

hello everyone:
I have source code as the following:
Class a
{
void func2();
static void func1();
}
void a::func1()
{
AfxGetMainWnd()->PostMessage(WM_CLOSE, 0, 0);
}
void a::func2()
{
AfxGetMainWnd()->PostMessage(WM_CLOSE, 0, 0);
}
func1 is crashed, func2 is ok.
The reason is that the handler is null.
But I need to use function as static, could you tell me how to post the message from a static function?
Thank you.

As far as the API AfxGet....it should work even in static functions also,can you explain in more detail? y exactly you need static function?

Did you try that out, i belive it should work in the static function too.

Where are you calling the a::func1? I think, that in the moment, when you call it, the MainFrame isn't yet attached to HWND (so its message handler is clearly null)

How to attach the mainFrame to HWND?
Thank you.

Any class derived from CWnd is attached to HWND by Create or CreateEx functions.

Thank you and other peoples very much.
I finished it.
In fact, I transfered a pointer of static function to a dll.
In the dll, the function is run.
static void func1()
{
AfxGetMainHwnd()->PostMessage(WM_MY_MSG);
// Because the func1 is run by dll, so the handle is NULL
}
so I modified it as the following :
static void func1()
{
::PostMessage(GetMainHwnd(),WM_MY_MSG,0,0);
}
GetMainHwnd() is written to save the handle of mainframe.
and it is ok.

As VC++.Net (2002) is unmanaged by default moeover all MFC classes (CDocumnet, CDialog etc) are unmanaged, how can I use a managed class (created in C#) within VC++.
What i am trying to do is:
1. Create a control in C#
2. Add this control in a CDialog derived Dialog in VC++.
Now, as CDialog derived class is unmanaged, I am not able to create a pointer to my managed control class. Using gcroot template class does help me over come this problme, but when i try allocating memeory by new opertaor, i get compiler error.
Do let me know how can i overcome this problem

There is an article under the name 'Using ADO .Net from MFC Project' that discusses this very same phenomenon. In it, the writer uses the .Net Library from an unmanaged MFC class. Although the sample uses ADO.Net, it is completely valid for all other .Net Library components as well. Even your C# control is a piece of .Net Library. The original article can be found here[^].
To implement your own control, you must compile the C# code so that it generates a DLL file. Then use the #using directive to import this DLL into your unmanaged project. You must also import the .Net Core Library (mscorlib.dll), otherwise strange behaviour might result.
When done, follow the example in the above-mentioned article starting from "__gc pointers in an Unmanaged Class" onwards for an example on how to use your control.
If you need help on creating a C# DLL, follow the guidelines in this[^] article. Then copy the finished DLL into the unmanaged project's search path and continue with the first article's instructions.
Hope this helps you out

Dear Antii,
Thanks for the valueable information, but after i modified my code as described in the article, i come across an exception
An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in MFCButtonForm.exe
Additional information: File or assembly name MyControl, or one of its dependencies, was not found.
This exception occurs only when I allocate memeroy to the control pointer as
gcroot<CColoredButton*> colorButton;
#pragma push_macro("new")
#undef new
colorButton = new CColoredButton();
#pragma pop_macro("new")
Please do let me know haw can this exception be resolved.
Regards

Have you added the compiled C# class library DLL as a #using directive into the project ? The exception is caused by the CLR not being able to find the target assembly, and the exception is not shown unless you try to create the control.
Also, remember that after you've changed the project settings, all functions are compiled as managed by default. This means that you must add #pragma unmanaged statemets to capsulate those classes and functions that are not managed, but should be compiled as native.
I'll try to create a test project that uses a control from here in CodeProject and see what comes up. Perhaps I can then help you more, when I've seen the code in action.

Correction to my earlier post. The reason your application causes an assertion is because it cannot determine where the control resides. In order to solve this, use a fully qualified name of the control.
For an idea, consider if m_NetForm was a __gc wrapper for type System::Windows::Forms* and would then be instantated as a form object by calling m_NetForm = new System::Windows::Forms();
Does this solve the issue ?
I tried to create a simple example application. It uses the .Net Framework 1.1 to create a file writer object (StreamWriter) and writes a single line into the file. You can download the sources and a working executable from here[^]. The text file is created into the same directory from which the application is ran.

Thanks for your suggestions and the sample. Besides your suggested approach, I had to copy my Control's dll to the folder from where my MFC app was running in order to resolve the exception.
Thanks again.

GETTEXTEX myVals;
GETTEXTLENGTHEX myLen;
myLen.flags = GTL_DEFAULT;
myLen.codepage = 1200;
myVals.cb = 2 + SendMessage(hWnd, EM_GETTEXTLENGTHEX, (long)&myLen, 0);
myVals.flags = GT_DEFAULT;
myVals.codepage = 1200;
myVals.lpDefaultChar = NULL;
myVals.lpUsedDefChar = NULL;
wchar_t *buf = new wchar_t[myVals.cb];
if(SendMessage(hWnd, EM_GETTEXTEX, (long)&myVals, (long)buf))
{
return buf;
}
This piece of code gets the text from a rich edit window as intended. But it seems to work only for richedits in my window. If hWnd is a handle to a richedit in another applications window, say WordPad, then the application (WordPad) gives an error and quits.
What am I doing wrong?

Hey buddy, you can't expect the data from other applications with just sendmessge. The other application as it's own process area.You may get integet like data using such messges but not the text lie stuff 
You have to insert yourself into other application to make such work.See Window Hooks....

I'm trying to make a small skinning util to use with a current project. To do this i want to use binary region files created by an external tool based on a bitmap. Now what i want to do is be able to load the region data from a file, instead of having to load via a resource, which adds a lot of bulk to the executable, as well as doesnt allow for dynamic skinning. If can think of a fairly easy/reasonable method of doing this, please respond. Thank you

You can store the skining information in either .ini file (recommended) or xml file (todays standard)
