Ok, I am starting to feel like a complete idiot. I still can't get this to work.
BOOL CPage::OnSetActive()
{
BOOL ret = CPropertyPage::OnSetActive();
if (some_condition)
m_Combo.SetFocus();
return ret;
}
m_Combo.SetFocus is called successfully, but the focus remains on the edit control when the page finally shows.

How about:
#define MSG_SETFOCUS WM_APP+1
BOOL CPage::OnSetActive()
{
BOOL ret = CPropertyPage::OnSetActive();
if (some_condition)
PostMessage(MSG_SETFOCUS);
return ret;
}
LRESULT CPage::MySetFocus( WPARAM, LPARAM )
{
m_Combo.SetFocus();
}

That definitely works, thanks. I will use that hack for now.
But is it really necessary to go through that that type of hack to set the focus to a control? There is obviously something that I am missing.

Just because MS does it, does not mean it's not a hack;P
Thanks for the help and the link

I simply provided the link so you would have something to reference. Since the tab is the first control on the property page, it only makes sense that it would receive initial focus. I don't consider using PostMessage() a hack.

Give control IDs to your button and edit box. Then handle the BN_CLICK event for your button and add a variable of the CString type to your edit box. Then in your button's BN_CLICK event handler function type something like (assuming "m_strText" is the name of the variable you added to your edit box):
m_strText = "Yea im a newb i look like a newb i feel like a newb!";
UpdateData(FALSE); // Update the UI.
That should do it. Good luck in your programming efforts! 
Happy Programming and God Bless!

Like i said i am a NEWB! i got most of what you said but its still not working... I know im doing it wrong and thats why  can you maybe explain it a little better? Thanks for your time!

Ok. Let me try explaining from the begining step by step.
1. Create an MFC project using the Dialog application type (I assume that is what you are doing).
2. Add a Edit Box and a Button from the Toolbox to your Dialogbox.
3. Using the Property window, change the Edit Box's ID to IDC_MESSAGE and the Button's ID to IDC_MESSAGE_BTN.
4. Using the Property window, change the Button's Caption to "Show Message".
5. Right-click on the Edit Box and click "Add Variable...". Change the Category to "Value" and then the Variable Type to "CString". Name the variable "m_strMessage". Click the Finish button. You will be directed to the code view. Go back to the dialog editor.
6. Right-click on the Button control (the one you renamed earlier) and click "Add Event Handler...". Make sure the Message Type is "BN_CLICKED" and click the "Add and Edit" button.
7. Delete the comment (the line beginning with the "//") and type in its place:
m_strMessage = "Hello World! I am a beginner in Visual C++ .NET!";
UpdateData(FALSE); // Updates the controls.
8. Compile and run the program. It should work. Enjoy!
If you are interested, you could go to Amazon.com and buy the book: Sams Teach Yourself Visual C++.NET in 21 Days (2nd Edition), ISBN- 0672321971, URL-http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0672321971/qid=1086480839/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-3025056-5268100?v=glance&s=books[^]
It will help you from a beginner level to knowing your way around the environment pretty well. Hope this helps.
Happy Programming and God Bless!

First you'll need a CEdit control variable (e.g., m_edit). Then in the handler for the button, just make a call to m_edit.SetWindowText("some text").

Hi,
I'm a newbie C++ programmer, and I'm wondering one thing: How do I use optional parameters in my methods?
|
|
|
|
|
well, if you mean this:
void function1 (a=0)
{
cout >> a;
}
if you call the function this way:
function1;
the result is that 0 will be printed
if you call the function this way:
function1(9);
the result is that 9 will be printed

Yeah, I knew it wasn't to hard  Just had some trouble finding it. Thanks!

when i statically link the MFC libarary
i get this warning when i go to build the release
LINK : warning LNK4089: all references to "SHELL32.dll" discarded by /OPT:REF
what can i do about this?
|
|
|
|
|
There is nothing to do.
- Linker told to link to shell32.dll.
- Linker told not to link to modules where no functions are being used.
- Linker found that module being compiled does not use any functions from shell32.dll.
- Linker telling you this.

Go to the command line linker options and add /IGNORE:4089. (This warning is purely informational. Ignoring it causes no problems.)

How would one convert a float to an int without rounding it? Currently:
float f = 1.9;
int i = (int)f;
i would equal 2. How do I get it to not round, and have i equal 1 in the above example? Any help is appreciated.

As defined by the C++ standard, floating to integer conversions truncate. So 1.9 would convert to 1.
Tim Smith
I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

int i = (int)(f + 0.5);

You expression rounds, which I think is the opposite of what he wants, which is simple truncation.

i would not equal 2. Simple 'C'-style casts truncate, so you will see i == 1.

Ok, i cannot get of this stupid error
Process ViewerDlg.cpp(151) : error C2664: 'EnumWindows' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'int (struct HWND__ *,long)' to 'int (__stdcall *)(struct HWND__ *,long)'
None of the functions with this name in scope match the target type
Line 151: EnumWindows( GetWindows, 0 );
and my definition of GetWindows
BOOL CALLBACK GetWindows( HWND hwnd, LPARAM lParam );
Note: this is an MFC project
|
|
|
|
|
sure about that CALLBACK part? It provides exactly the __stdcall part the compiler is missing. Search your project for other occurences / definitions of GetWindows
we are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is Vonnegut jr.
