Re: My dialog doesn't get focus Robert197420-Apr-04 8:28 Robert1974 20-Apr-04 8:28  Solved it. the problem was that I posted the message to another window that created the dialog. Reusing explorers context menu peterchen20-Apr-04 7:33 peterchen 20-Apr-04 7:33  Is it possible to "reuse" the explorer context menu? I have a file name, and want to Windows Explorer context menu for that file as a sub-menu of my own context menu. Execution of the command etc. should all be left to explorer (i.e. I don't want to "interfere" with this) Flirt harder, I'm a Coder mlog || Agile Programming | doxygen Re: Reusing explorers context menu Prakash Nadar20-Apr-04 7:55 Prakash Nadar 20-Apr-04 7:55  peterchen wrote: I have a file name, and want to Windows Explorer context menu for that file as a sub-menu of my own context menu I belive you are talking abut shell extension, Micheal Dunn has few articles on what you are looking for.

Re: Reusing explorers context menu peterchen20-Apr-04 8:16 peterchen 20-Apr-04 8:16  No, I don't want to write a shell extension, I just hope to find a way to reuse this menu (without turning the file name into a PIDL and then playing explorer - I roughly know the protocol how this menu is created ) But you're right, I should have thought of Michaels articles, I'll check them....

I tried to put OnChar() in my instance of CDialog with classWizard but the dialog just beeps when I press keys. Re: Trapping keystrokes in dialog Prakash Nadar20-Apr-04 18:01 Prakash Nadar 20-Apr-04 18:01  Are you talking about shortcut keys ? did ya try putting '&' before one of the char in the dialog button text ?

Re: Trapping keystrokes in dialog dudepdx22-Apr-04 3:55 dudepdx 22-Apr-04 3:55  Did you try it by subclassing cbutton.....you should derive your own class(CMyButton) from CButton and use CMyButton on your dialog box instead of CButton and then add the messagemap for WM_CHAR ...it will work... cheers Re: Detect hidden window David Crow20-Apr-04 5:00 David Crow 20-Apr-04 5:00  When you detect a second instance is being launched, why not call ShowWindow(SW_RESTORE)?

Right now, I'm using CWinApp::InitInstance to check if an instance is already running. If so, I don't create the dialog and return FALSE so that instance exits. --------------- Tired of Spam?

Re: Detect hidden window melwyn20-Apr-04 5:17 melwyn 20-Apr-04 5:17  You cud try some IPC mechanism (mutex, event etc) to communicate between the 1st and 2nd instance. When the 2nd instance comes up it cud for e.g set an event in the 1st instance to signal it to show itself. -Mel Re: Detect hidden window Prakash Nadar20-Apr-04 7:37 Prakash Nadar 20-Apr-04 7:37  melwyn wrote: You cud try some IPC mechanism (mutex, event etc) to communicate between the 1st and 2nd instance yes, it will work to determine that another instance is running, but how will you use to restore the window ??? God is Real, unless declared Integer. Re: Detect hidden window Prakash Nadar20-Apr-04 7:44 Prakash Nadar 20-Apr-04 7:44  I had used this technique long back... Registered a windows message. when another instnce is found then broadcast the message. Handle the event and post showwindow to your main window. God is Real, unless declared Integer. Re: Detect hidden window LukeV20-Apr-04 8:02 LukeV 20-Apr-04 8:02  Well I managed to find a solution. In OnInitDialog(), I just save the m_hWnd value to the registry and use that value with WM_SHOWWINDOW if needed. The only drawback is that even though the dialog window appears, it hasn't set focus and the taskbar isn't refreshing. I have to click on the dialog window to activate it and make it visible in the taskbar. I tried WM_ACTIVATE but with no success... --------------- Tired of Spam?

The method that told you about registering the window will surely work. While using FindWindow did you give the classname or the windowtitle. I think i have used classname to find the window and it worked greate. God is Real, unless declared Integer. Streaming files in CRichEditView Jamie Kenyon20-Apr-04 4:41 Jamie Kenyon 20-Apr-04 4:41  Hi, I a have an MDI app with each child frame as a CRichEditView. I cannot figure out how to load/stream files into the view. Drag+Drop is no probs but I need the ability to load/stream files into the view. I cannot find a solution anywhere. Pleae help. Re: Streaming files in CRichEditView GermanGeorge20-Apr-04 22:52 GermanGeorge 20-Apr-04 22:52  search for the class RichEditCtrlGS on codeproject. I found the solution to this problem there last week. It gives you all the information you need. if you do not find it i will send it to you. Detect hidden window LukeV20-Apr-04 4:31 LukeV 20-Apr-04 4:31  Hi, I have an application that is hidding in the tray. Currently, I'm able to detect how many instances of my app are running so I can prevent that more than one is. What I'd like to do is that if a 2nd instance is launched, it would bring the main dialog up from the 1st instance. FindWindow will not work since the dialog is not visible while the app is hiding in the tray. Is there some trick to find a hidden window, or perhaps I could manage to find the tray icon's menu and trigger a message? Thanks! --------------- Tired of Spam?
