I have a custom control which I want to be able to recieve input from the keyboard. I planned to accomplish this by processing the WM_KEYDOWN message, but I've been having some problems. First of all, most of the keys trigger a beep sound when they're pressed like the window is refusing them, although they still trigger a WM_KEYDOWN and get proccessed properly. Second, a few keys (such as the arrow keys) don't trigger a WM_KEYDOWN, or do anything at all for that manner. This problem only shows up when the control window is created as a child, when I create it as an independant window there is no problem. If np one can solve this problem I suppose I can program the window manually to behave as a child, but there's gotta be a better solution, right?

You might want to handle the WM_GETDLGCODE-message in your custom control. Return DLGC_WANTALLKEYS and see if it helps. Note that the tab-key will also be routed to the child, and that you might want to experiment with a combination of returns. MSDN has the list of possible values.

Thanks, that worked perfectly. I would've thought something like this would come up fairly often, but I asked tons of places and this is the first I got an anwser from.

Custom controls is a pretty advanced area. You were just lucky asking when an old SDK-developer was at hand

Take for example the following code
<br />
CItemInfo *lp = new CItemInfo()<br />
lp->SetItemText("String");<br />
CTreeItem *pParent = pList->InsertRootItem(lp);<br />
delete lp;<br />
the following is for inserting data into a TreeList control.
the problem here is that the command delete lp will delete the information stored in the treelist. If I change lp from heap to stack, I get the same result. If I remove delete lp then the information stays.
Is there a way I can prevent this kind of occurance? I would like to clean up my pointers if possible but that seems to corrupt existing data.
Thanks!

Is this code within a class's member function?

See if your TreeList can associate an LPARAM with each item, like regular trees and lists do. If so, put the pointer in each item's LPARAM. Then when the items are removed from the control (TVN_DELETEITEM for trees, LVN_DELETEITEM for lists) delete the pointer then.

I guess there is not. The CTreeItem only stores the pointers you give him, not the actual data. So if you delete the data, the pointer the CTreeItem has is useless. Why don't you just delete them once you stop using the CTreeItem?
(I have never worked with MFC etc, but this is a common practice)

Thanks for the tips, guys. I'll try looking in that direction!

I am using SetDeviceGammaRamp and it is working fine for my nVidia CRT monitors running Windows 2000.

Anyone got some clues?

Hi there,
I created a process that opens up a word file and its contents are parsed. Now, when the user tries to open up the exact same file, it doesn't parse. Is it because the file is currently open? How do I check that and would I need to terminate the process before creating a new one? Here is what I have so far.
Thanks!
/*************************************************/
STARTUPINFO stStartUpInfo;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pProcessInfo = new PROCESS_INFORMATION;
memset(&startInfo, 0, sizeof(STARTUPINFO));
startInfo.cb = sizeof(STARTUPINFO);
startInfo.dwFlags = STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;
startInfo.wShowWindow = SW_SHOWDEFAULT;
CreateProcess(NULL, cmdline, NULL, NULL, FALSE,
NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, NULL,
NULL, &startInfo, procInfo);
ParseFile();
/********************************/
int CParser::ParseFile(CString filename)
{
int ret = 0;
CStdioFile fname;
if (fname.Open(filename, CFile::modeRead))
{
//parsing code here
}
else
{
ret = -1;
fname.Close();
}
return ret;
}

Use the API function GetWindow to walk down the child list of each window below Mainframe. You'll need some way to identify the correct children (assuming that one or more of the levels has > 1 child) but as you assumedly know who you're trying to send a message to that shouldn't be a problem.
Does that help?

Take a look at either the SendMessage() or PostMessage() API calls in MSDN.

If you have a handle to the child window, just use SendMessage(). Otherwise, if you are using MFC, does SendMessageToDescendants() help?

So what exactly is your question - how to send a message to a child window, or how to use Spy++?

I have much older program, they using old way about pointer.
// Old code 1
void Func()
{
char *p = "Hello";
*p = 'h'; // It has "Access Violation" probelm in VC++6.0!
}
// Old code 2
void Func()
{
long ptr;
char p[];
ptr = p // has problem with type !!
}
Shoud I change all bad code ???? Do we has nother way to use older codes?

char p[];
There must be a number of some sort holding the brackets apart (e.g., char p[5]), or p must be initialized to something that has a size (e.g., char p[] = "Hi").

Yes, most definitely!
