Re: free GMail account to first person who can give working solution Antti Keskinen13-Jul-04 11:47 Antti Keskinen 13-Jul-04 11:47  I have no use for the "much sought after" GMail account, but perhaps I can solve your problem. I assume that you are talking about an System Tray area icon that is created and maintained by the program. Now, it seems that after you end the dialog by clicking the Ok-button, you also destroy the dialog window. This window is also marked as the parent of the tray area icon (it's message map has a hander for the tray notification). When the window is destroyed, the tray area icon has no window attached to it, and it will start to behave irrationally. The way to fix this is to move the adding of the tray area icon INSIDE the dialog's main initialization code (to CDialog::OnInitDialog, for example). Then you should create a supplementary function (call it, for example, CBotDlg::DestroyTrayIcon). This function is responsible for removing the icon from the tray area. Now go through your code. Everywhere where you are calling CDialog::EndDialog, you should add a call to CBotDlg::DestroyTrayIcon before the EndDialog call. This makes sure that once the dialog window is destroyed, the tray area icon no longer exists, and can no longer cause irrelevant behaviour. If your idea is to create and upkeep the tray area icon AFTER the dialog has been destroyed, then you need to create another window that is responsible for handling messages sent by the tray icon. The basic idea is that the tray area icon is always bound to an existing window. If this window gets destroyed with the tray area icon still there, it will lead to unpredictable behaviour. UPDATE: After reading more of your code sample, it became apparent that your problem is in the dialog window. The tray area icon is bound to the dialog window, but you're destroying the window when EndDialog is called. This leads the tray icon to stop responding. Fixing it is easy: instead of ending the dialog, use ShowWindow to hide the window from sight (minimize to tray), or create a dummy window with no other purpose than to answer to the tray area notifications. -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible. Re: free GMail account to first person who can give working solution JeromeKJerome13-Jul-04 14:14 JeromeKJerome 13-Jul-04 14:14  Kitos for the suggestions, but the dialog box doesn't get destroyed until the end of the main routine. The main routine can run for days, that's why I need to interrupt it sometimes. End dialog only happens at the end and then everything appears to terminate normally. I have experimented with early enddialog and hiding and minimizing the dialog box. You're right, early enddialog leads to unpredictable results. What is also curious and probably related is that when the ok button is clicked, the resulting minimized window also becomes unresponsive, i.e., can't repaint it by clicking on it.

Re: free GMail account to first person who can give working solution naveen_vi13-Jul-04 11:53 naveen_vi 13-Jul-04 11:53  move the return LRESULT(0) within the brackets. Re: free GMail account to first person who can give working solution Ryan Binns13-Jul-04 18:17 Ryan Binns 13-Jul-04 18:17  The problem is the EndDialog(0) inside your OK button handler. Once EndDialog() is called, the window is destroyed, so any messages that get sent to it are lost, including the ones from the tray icon. Instead of calling EndDialog(), call ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) to merely hide the window without destroying it. <rant> Don't you dare offer me a g**** account. If I hear about it one more time I am likely to go insane. Anyone who mentions it should be executed on the spot. </rant> Ryan "Punctuality is only a virtue for those who aren't smart enough to think of good excuses for being late" John Nichol "Point Of Impact" Re: free GMail account to first person who can give working solution JeromeKJerome14-Jul-04 15:42 JeromeKJerome 14-Jul-04 15:42  This solution also makes no changes in the icon behaviour, or anything else.

I know there is a MemoryStream class in .NET but I cannot use it for my current needs. I have a binary file format that is OLE2 storage based. However, I cannot use the IStream interface directly and need an IStream like interface to physical memory. Thanks, Sincerely, Pankaj Without struggle, there is no progress Re: Stream interfaces palbano13-Jul-04 9:17 palbano 13-Jul-04 9:17  pankajdaga wrote: Is there an IStream like interface that I can use for stream like writing into physical memory. No, there is no COM interface for writing to a memory location. Why would you want one? pankajdaga wrote: I have a binary file format that is OLE2 storage based. However, I cannot use the IStream interface directly and need an IStream like interface to physical memory. Are you saying that you have loaded a OLE2 compound file into memory but don't have access to the IStream interface so you want to access the memory directly? That does not sould like a good idea. Why don't you have access to the IStream interface?

My problem is that my specifics state that I need to manipulate the data in the memory and should write to disk only on demand. The IStream interface writes to disk and I was wondering if the same functionality could be achieved in the physical store instead of the virtual one. Thanks, Pankaj Without struggle, there is no progress Re: Stream interfaces Chris Losinger13-Jul-04 15:50 Chris Losinger 13-Jul-04 15:50  take a look at ILockBytes. i've used it with IStorage to create a memory-based file.

I seem to be struggling a bit with this task. How do I do it?!?! Thanks! Phillip Re: Easy menu/modal dialog question Johan Rosengren13-Jul-04 9:16 Johan Rosengren 13-Jul-04 9:16  Hm, you handle the menu selection (add a handler with the Class Wizard if you use MSVC++ 6.0 ). In the handler, you declare a variable of the dialog class. Then, you call DoModal on the variable. Re: Easy menu/modal dialog question Maximilien13-Jul-04 9:16 Maximilien 13-Jul-04 9:16  the menu part or the dialog part ? did you create your dialog ? in the resources and in the code ( generated by the wizard ) did you add the menu item ( in the resources ) ? did you create an handler for the menu item ? ( can be created from the wizard ) Maximilien Lincourt Your Head A Splode - Strong Bad Re: Easy menu/modal dialog question philliad13-Jul-04 9:24 philliad 13-Jul-04 9:24  I've made the menu, made the handler for the menu item, and made the actual dialog box (and a corresponding class). I'm having trouble making an instance of the dialog class and calling DoModal for some reason. It's quite baffling, actually.
