To programmatically create a GUID try calling CoCreateGUID() which can be found in objbase.h.

<code>
HRESULT CoCreateGuid(GUID* pguid);
</code>

I hate to say this, but I fail to see how a GUID will uniquely identify a machine. In the past, GUID's were based on the MAC address. For security reasons, this is no longer true. As far as I know, it's based off the time and random values.

Declare the fonts of the CFont type that you need in your dialog's class. Then in your class's OnInitDialog() function, define your font's style and then:

GetDlgItem(<controlIDHere> )->SetFont(<fontnamehere> );

That should do it. Smile | :)

Happy Programming and God Bless!

Hi..thanks for reply....

I create font by using this code:

CFont font;
LOGFONT lf;
memset(&lf, 0, sizeof(LOGFONT)); // zero out structure
lf.lfHeight = 22;
// request a 12-pixel-height font
strcpy(lf.lfFaceName, "Arial"); // request a face name "Arial"
font.CreateFontIndirect(&lf); // create the font

//then create

CStatic ArrayCaption;
ArrayCaption.Create(NULL,WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE,CRect(10,17,450,65),this,123);

ArrayCaption.SetWindowText("Sumit Kapoor");
// mine try...
//ArrayCaption.SetFont(&font)

// then your hint one but not working
GetDlgItem(123)->SetFont(&font);

you can copy paste this code & check..if doubt...
Thanks for help..bye

font is not exactly a member of your class, is it?

Do as suggested and create a CFont member variable. GetDlgItem will do the same as the direct reference ArrayCaption, so you should keep the ArrayCaption.SetFont - but have the class member as i parameter, of course. Remove SetDlgItem.

Navigating through CForimView controls

dart136-Jun-04 23:59

How to implement movement between button controls placed on a CFormView with arrow keys? Buttons are positioned like chessboard squares - so when the arrow key for left is pressed the focus should move to the button placed left and so on.
Should SetFocus() be overriden?

I have difficulties seeing what SetFocus should accomplish Smile | :)

You can, for example, add the arrow keys as accelerators in the accelerator table and map them to functions in your view.

I just want to move focus from one button to another, so the desired button can be activated by pressing ENTER.
It is possible to move focus with TAB key as well as with arrow keys, but focus goes from one button to the other as it was set in Layout -> Tab Order.
What I want to accomplish is to move focus in one of four directions using arrow keys, but I am not sure what's the best way to implement this behaviour.

I understood that much, and I really think that you should try with accelerators. In the view - where you handle the message - you might want to check what control currently has the focus, and change it according to the pattern you want.

It is a button having the focus when the key is pressed, and therefore the keypress will be sent to the button (actually, the key up message will be sent... to the button the focus was moved to!). Therefore, the most basic place to handle this would be in a CButton-derived class.

But it is not a good way to solve the problem!

If you try handling the focus setting itself, you'll get into all sorts of grief, as changing the focus in a focus-handler (that is, a handler to WM_SETFOCUS) will most probably get you in trouble.

Furthermore, if you handle this from the buttons themselves, you'll have to post messages to the owner anyway, as an individual button will have no knowledge of the other buttons on the view.

So, accelerators!

Retrieving control's original class by its ID?

Daredevil6-Jun-04 23:13

Daredevil

6-Jun-04 23:13

Hello,
In my program I dynamically create controls according to data read from a database. The control can be either CEdit or CComboBox. I also assign a unique control ID to each of the created controls (I know the ids).

Once controls created when a button pressed it's supposed to save controls values in the database.

Getting the text from the CEdit control isn't a problem as I just do GetDlgItemText(...). However, in case of the CComboBox I need to retrieve the ItemData using GetItemData. This is where I'm unsure of what to do.
I don't save anywhere if control with specific ID is a CComboBox or CEdit. Is is possible to know only by ID what kind of a control it is and to retrieve its original class?.

I was thinking just to make a struct:
struct {
CEdit *edit=NULL;
CComboBox *combo=NULL;
} myDynControls;

and then make an array of this struct. Each coresponding to an ID. I won't have more than 10 controls at a time.

What do you think? Is it a good idea? (i will delete everything after done working with ofcourse Smile | :)

)

Hi Daredevil,

All MFC classes that derive from CObject (of which CWnd does) have a CRuntimeClass object associated with it.
So to see if your object is a CEdit control:

CWnd* pWndControl = m_arrMyControls[i]; // or however you've implemented the collection of controls
if (pWndControl && pWnd->GetSafeHwnd())
{
 CRuntimeClass* pClass = pWnd->GetRuntimeClass();
     // MSDN says that pClass will never be NULL, but we should always check pointers before use
     if (pClass)
     {
     CString strName = pClass->m_lpszClassName;
         // Now you can do whatever you need to do based on what the runtime class is
         // ...
         // ...
         // ...
     }
}

Hope this helps,
Andy

CIndexes help required..

6-Jun-04 23:12

Hi All,

Although the primary keys are working fine I am having terrible trouble getting the Index information.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Here is some code:

CIndexes rsIndex;
hResult = rsIndex.Open(m_session, NULL, NULL, NULL, tableData->sSchema, tableData->sName);

if(hResult == S_OK)
{
hResult = rsIndex.MoveNext();
while (hResult == S_OK) {
CString indexColumnName =
rsIndex.m_szColumnName;
indexes.Add(indexColumnName);
hResult = rsIndex.MoveNext();
}
}

I have tried it with 4 NULL's and not passing the schema name but it still gives me a zero record count.

Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris

communication on serial port com

I developped a program to communicate on serial port com. It works fine on xp/W2000.
Then I wanted to include this into a bigger project, so I decided to change it into a dll. It works fine on W2000, but the same application using the same dll NEVER works on WXP. Does anybody have an idea about what could happen?

When I say it never works I mean that the thing that reiceives the data transferred on the serial link (I see the data transferred via a spy on the link) does'nt act as it really reiceived everything OK. I mean all the data are transferred, but it acts as if the flow was interrupted sometimes.

THANKS for your help!!!!

I’m going to Serialize a class with CString and int-members to a file and then transfer it over the network. One of the members is a password-like one and I would like it to be encrypted before the serialization.

Any tip fore easy implementation.

That wont close anything.

I think he is saying how to kill an application started by his application when he has it's handle.

CloseHandle will close the Kernel handle - when the handles refrence count drops to 0, but wont actually close the spawnded process.

TerminateProcess() will very nastly kill a process given its handle.
