Modify the dialog's constructor to include a CDocument* parameter. Then construct the dialog like:
CMyDialog dlg(this);
dlg.DoModal(); This assumes the dialog is created in some document method. If the dialog is created in the view, you can use:
CMyDialog dlg(GetDocument());
dlg.DoModal();

How do you display a dialog box once the main window of a program has already loaded up. I put created a dialog box at the end of CMainFrame::OnCreate but the dialog box appeared before the window loaded.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Put the dialog box launch code into the application's InitInstance routine. Call it after the execution of pFrame->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW), and the dialog box will pop up right after then main window has been displayed.

I have a program where we would like to have a large translucent window placed on top of the program's main windows. The problem is that this new window captures key presses and mouse events. Is there any way to set thing up so that any user interaction is send directly to the views underneath?

You need to forward the messages to the correct windows manually.
onwards and upwards...

I Googled the HTTRANSPARENT return value, and they mention another window style called WS_EX_NOACTIVATE, that looks like it may take care of the keyboard. I'll have to experiment to find out.

Hello,
I created a job for task scheduler but I didnt set the password, so the job will never be executed.
From I app I executed the job. The ciode is as follows:
code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITask *task;
hr = m_pITS->Activate( wjobname,
IID_ITask,
(IUnknown**) &task);
if ( FAILED ( hr ) )
return;
hr = task->Run();
if ( hr != S_OK ) {
MessageBox( m_Hwnd, "Could not execute job.", MAIN_APPNAME, MB_ICONERROR | MB_OK );
} else {
MessageBox( m_Hwnd, "Job executed successfully.", MAIN_APPNAME, MB_ICONINFORMATION | MB_OK );
}
task->Release();
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is whether the job was executed or not (it is not executed coz I didnt give the user password) the function is always returning S_OK. So whatever may be the result I am getting the messagebox "job executed successfully".
Is it normal?

If you look in MSDN, you'll see:
"A return code of S_OK means that the request to run the work item has been made; it does not mean that the work item has started running. There may be a delay of a few seconds after Run returns before the work item actually starts running.
To determine whether the work item is running, call IScheduledWorkItem::GetStatus."
So, you're good checking that it was scheduled, you need to go further:
hr = task->Run();
if (SUCCEDED(hr))
{
HRESULT status;
BOOL started = FALSE;
while (TRUE)
{
::Sleep(250);
hr = task->GetStatus(&status);
if (FAILED(hr)) break;
if (SCHED_S_TASK_RUNNING == status)
{
started = TRUE;
break;
}
else if (SCHED_S_TASK_READY == status)
continue;
else
break;
}
if (started)
{
MessageBox(m_hWnd, "Job is running", ...);
}
else
{
MessageBox(m_hWnd, "Could not execute job", ...);
}
}
else
{
MessageBox(m_hWnd, "Could not start job", ...);
}
task->Release();

Hi all,
Does anybody know why my drop down list won't drop down?
I've added items to it in the OnInitDialog overide (which calls the same CDialog function beforehand btw) and i can scroll through them using the keyboard. However, when I click the drop down button, the list doesn't appear - just a very small no. of horizontal lines appear below the text display window.
Can anybody help?
Thanks
Paul

I just had a brain-wave, and it worked.
The reason this was occuring was because when I created the control in the dialog editor, i only specified a control height which was that of the actual window for the combo box. I did not anticipate that windows would limit the actual drop down list to this space!!
It's silly things like this that hinder application development  .. Live and learn i guess

Yup I experienced the same problem before..
weird huh...

Hi, please help mi with this problem. When compile my project it compiles all cpp files (not only changed one). When pressing F5 it wants to build it all and writes that obj files are not up to date or does not exist. This is happening over and over again even if i dont make any change to code. Do u have any suggestion why this is happening? - it happend accidentaly (i quess) after 3 months workings with the project ... Thanks

You could try loading up the workspace/solution, then doing a complete rebuild. Then close the workspace/solution, and close the IDE. Then restart, and reopen the IDE. This might fix the problem.
The actual problem persists in the project database. On a MS VC++ 6.0 platform, deleting the project database file might resolve the issue.

Hello everyone. I want to draw edges for an Edit box. But I have to draw the lines inside the Edit box, because the edit box is too big. I tried to change the size of the Edit box, but I cannot make the height any smaller. The problem is that the line in the Edit box will be blocked by the Edit box. I tried to set the edit box to transparent, but I still cannot the lines.
Any idea about how to fix this problem?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Derive a class from CEditBox, handle OnDraw Event and now the whole Editbox control window is all urs to draw what ever you want to.

Hi All,
Anybody know how to select the old DOS font in windows? The one with the little happy faces, playing card symbols and line drawing stuff? I'm looking for something along the lines of:
HFONT hFont = CreateFont(?????);
Thanks

No, that doesn't do it. At least not on my machine. I think these were in the 0-31 range, but I don't get anything for those. I did try other fonts, like "Comib Sans MS", and they all appear the way they should, I just can't get the little smiley characters. Maybe some of the other parameters needto be changed?
Here's what I tried to do:
case WM_PAINT:
// Paint the window's client area.
{
HDC hdc;
if(hFont == NULL)
{
hFont = CreateFont(0,0,0,0, FW_DONTCARE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, ANSI_CHARSET, OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS, CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, DEFAULT_QUALITY, FF_DONTCARE, "System");
//hdc = GetDC(m_hWnd);
}
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
hdc = BeginPaint(m_hWnd, &ps);
HFONT hOld = (HFONT)SelectObject(hdc, (HGDIOBJ)hFont);
SetTextColor(hdc, RGB(255,255,255));
SetBkColor(hdc, RGB(0,0,0));
RECT rc;
GetClientRect(m_hWnd, &rc);
int nY = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < 256; i += 64)
{
TextOut(hdc, 0, nY, &m_szBuff[i], 64);
nY += 24;
}
//DrawText(hdc, m_szBuff, 256, &rc, DT_LEFT | DT_WORDBREAK);
SelectObject(hdc, (HGDIOBJ)hOld);
EndPaint(m_hWnd, &ps);
}
return 0;
Thanks,
Aaron

Try using OEM_CHARSET instead of ANSI_CHARSET.
[From MSDN]
The OEM character set is typically used in full-screen MS-DOS sessions for screen display. Characters 32 through 127 are usually the same in the OEM, U.S. ASCII, and Windows character sets. The other characters in the OEM character set (0 through 31 and 128 through 255) correspond to the characters that can be displayed in a full-screen MS-DOS session. These characters are generally different from the Windows characters.
