This is normal (and expected) behavior. If you changed it to some other color, would the user know that the control was disabled, or would they try to interact with it and become frustrated when they couldn't?

I found a way to change the text color of a disabled CEdit.
1- You must derive a class from CEdit
2- Overwrite WindowProc and do the following:
LRESULT CMyEditBox::WindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
if (message == WM_PAINT)
{
DWORD dwStyle = GetStyle();
if (dwStyle & WS_DISABLED)
{
EnableWindow(TRUE);
SetReadOnly(TRUE);
LRESULT res = CEdit::WindowProc(message, wParam, lParam);
SetRedraw(FALSE);
if ((dwStyle&ES_READONLY) == 0) SetReadOnly(FALSE);
EnableWindow(FALSE);
SetRedraw(TRUE);
CRect rcClient;
GetWindowRect(rcClient);
ScreenToClient(rcClient);
ValidateRect(rcClient);
return res;
}
}
return CEdit::WindowProc(message, wParam, lParam);
}
3- Overwrite CtlColor and change color when control is in read-only state (of course you can use a member variable instead of the read-only style to set disabled text color)
HBRUSH CMyEditBox::CtlColor(CDC* pDC, UINT nCtlColor)
{
if (GetStyle() & ES_READONLY)
{
pDC->SetBkColor(GetSysColor(COLOR_3DFACE));
pDC->SetTextColor(GetSysColor(COLOR_WINDOWTEXT));
return GetSysColorBrush(COLOR_3DFACE);
}
return NULL;
}

I have written a Windows "Service" that logs on using the "Local System" account and "Interact with Desktop" enabled. This Service is used to launch my application (via the CreateProcess API) when the computer is started. My application's data is stored on a shared network drive. The problem is "Local System" normally does not have access to network resources because it logs on with null creditials. This can be solved by adding the "shared resource" to the "NullSessionShares" registry key on the Server that owns the "shared resource".
This seems to work and my application is able to connect to the shared resource using the WNETAddConnection2 API. However, when my application tries to access a file on the shared resource (using the GetFileAttributes API), it returns an error code 5 (access denied). I checked the permission settings on the "Shared Drive" and "Everyone" has full access to this drive.
Any idea why I can't access this drive?
Thanks in advance,
Petrus

Maybe because the "Local System" can't be part of the any network group by definition let alone the "Everyone" group. What do you think?
What about creating an account for the service and give it the required permissions.

I'm not sure. I was reading "Microsoft Knowledge Base Artice 122702", which describs how to access a shared resource from a "Service", and it did not mention anything about adding/modifying accounts.

Perhaps so but further researching finds article 124184 which says:
Do not use the system account. Services, such as Scheduler, and custom applications can be configured using user-specific accounts. User-specific accounts provide user level security based on a specific account and associated password.

Hello,
I am creating several modeless dialog boxes which have different style setups. The problem is CreateIndirect requires me to pass a handle to a LPCDLGTEMPLATE, which I don't really mind to create, but I was just wondering if it would be possible to access the pre-defined styles in the resources (just like MFC automatically does, when you create a modal dialog box) ?
Thank you very much for your time,
David

CDialog::Create() allows you to pass in the ID number of a dialog-box template resource. Is that what you are after?

How to receive outgoing message in MS Outlook, to read and change him if it is necessary.
If it is possible example without MFC please.

Is that like saying, "Instead of telling us what you don't want, please tell us what you do want?"

He wants to catch outgoing message:
Is need to add a little text to the end of the each outgoing message.
When user click "send messages". Before sending.... the plugin is need to add the little signature to the each of them.

There is a Code Project article that does pretty much the same thing, but monitors for incoming mail. You should read through it, and you can find it here. When done reading, it's time for copy & paste. Instead of using the interfaces mentioned in the article, you should select "_MailItem" and "ApplicationEvents". The first allows access to a mail item, and the second allows you to receive notifications when an event ItemSend is fired.
Then follow the article again. The event we are interested in is 0x0000f002 in hex code. The IDispatch interface pointer is the first parameter in the DISPPARAMS::rgvarg parameter list of the Invoke method. Although it's VARIANTARG pointer, I believe you can use reinterpret_cast to convert it into an IDispatch pointer. Then use this pointer to query for _MailItem interface and this new interface to manipulate the message if required.
If all this sounds too difficult or over your head, then go do something easier first.. Capturing events in Office applications is, suprise suprise, not one of the easiest things to do in VC++. It's MUCH easier in Visual Basic, but we don't use that here

OK. I have this function:
STDMETHODIMP CAppEventListener::Invoke(DISPID dispIdMember, REFIID riid, LCID lcid, WORD wFlags, DISPPARAMS* DispParams,
VARIANT* pVarResult, EXCEPINFO* pExcepInfo, UINT* puArgErr) {
CMailItem MailItem;
MailItem.AttachDispatch( reinterpret_cast <idispatch*> (pDispParams->rgvarg->pdispVal) );
switch(dispIdMember)
{
case 0x0000f002:
{
AfxMessageBox( MailItem.get_Body() );
}
}
}
Please show me what I do incorrectly. I spent a couple hours with this and I don't know what to do.

Well, in order to get you going, here's a complete code-paste of a switch statement that catches an outgoing mail message and displays it in a message box:
const IID IID_IMailItem =
{0x00063034,0x0000,0x0000,{0xc0,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x46}};<DIV>
.
.
.<DIV>
switch(dispIdMember)
{
case 0x0000f002:
{
IDispatch* pDisp = NULL;<DIV>
for ( UINT nIndex = 0; nIndex < pDispParams->cArgs; nIndex++ )
{
if ( pDispParams->rgvarg[nIndex].vt == VT_DISPATCH )
{
pDisp = pDispParams->rgvarg[1].pdispVal;
break;
}
}<DIV>
IUnknown* pMail;
HRESULT hr = pDisp->QueryInterface( IID_IMailItem, (void**)&pMail );<DIV>
if ( SUCCEEDED(hr) )
{
CMailItem MailItem;
MailItem.AttachDispatch( pDisp );<DIV>
CString csBody = MailItem.get_Body();<DIV>
AfxMessageBox( (LPCTSTR) csBody );
}<DIV>
pMail->Release(); pMail = NULL;<DIV>
break;
}
}I've tested this with my own Outlook XP (2002), and it captures outgoing mail messages correctly, and ignores other outgoing items. Copy the interface identifier to the start of the code file, and replace your switch statement with this code piece. Add a breakpoint, start Outlook, run the app in debug mode and observe the results. Although it works for me, it's not guaranteed to work for you out of the box, so be careful.

How can I call the windows logon dialog to validate a user. Must be in c++/MFC not .NET.
Thanks.
|
|
|
|

Since the user has already logged on, why do it again? What exactly are you wanting to validate?

- How do I create two windows with win32/CreateWindowEx but only one instance of the program (what I really want is just one icon on the taskbar - I assume they go hand in hand)? I want it to be an SDI application.
CreateDialogParam uses CreateWindowEx to create a modeless window without creating a new instance. What exactly is it in the way they call CreateWindowEx that makes it skip the part with the new instance?
- Can MDI child frames be floating outside the MDI client window?
(I hope this isn't off topic, didn't find a pure Win forum here).

Not off-topic, but you've mistaken in several terms pretty badly.
Let's presume that you have an application. When you run it, Windows creates an instance of the application. This instance can create windows using CreateWindowEx. The windows created by CreateWindowEx are not "instances". They are called window objects, and belong to the instance of the application. So the question "what exactly is it in the way they call.." is illogical. There is no such way as the function doesn't create new instances.
Now, you can use the instructions in this article to limit your application to a single instance. Then create as many window objects as you need. Remember to destroy them afterwards, or you'll end up with memory leaks...
The MDI Child windows (child frames) cannot float outside the main MDI frame window. Microsoft calls this "Behaviour by design". It is designed to work this way, this is the idea of how it should work. If you need to change it, then MDI is not the approach you should use. Instead, just create multiple normal windows. They can float around the screen in any way you please.

thanx you so much!

You're not going to find such a function. At best you'll get an approximation. When you alllocate and then deallocate memory, the amount "charged" to your application does not immediately go down. That's the point the article I pointed you to (near the bottom) was trying to make. For an example, see my reply here. You can also try walking your process' heap.

Does GetProcessWorkingSetSize() help? See MSDN for more info.
