Re: Problem with CTreeCtrl::DeleteAllItems

I doesn't change anything because UpdateData usually validates DDX data and not DDX controls.

However, insertions work perfectly as long as I do not use DeleteAllItems. As soon it is called, no further insertions are possible (ie. InsertItem returns a valid HTREEITEM handle, but the tree control client area remains empty, even if I force the control to redraw.)

Looks like DeleteAllItems makes a real mess in the control! Confused | :confused:

You're right this is a bug! But you can workaround it.

<br />
	m_cTree.InsertItem("Before");<br />
<br />
	m_cTree.SetRedraw(FALSE);<br />
	m_cTree.DeleteAllItems();<br />
	m_cTree.InsertItem("after");<br />
	m_cTree.SetRedraw(TRUE);<br />

or just set the tree's scroll property to true.

running VC++ application on a machine without VC++

hi all!!

i have created a VC++ dialog-based application which uses CDaodatabse, CDaorecordset, mshflexgrid and a pie chart. the application is running fine on my development machine. i then tried to port it on a machine which does not have VC++ installed alongwith the MFC dlls. The application is not opening and it is also not giving ny errors. i tried to then change the code and finally i found that it was not going thru InitDialog(). This is because i had put a messagebox in the constructor of the dialog class which was opening. But i had also put a messagebox in the first line of Initdialog which did not come up. why is this happening. i have no clue. can anyone help?

The target machine is probably missing the flexgrid ocx control (and maybe any others your app uses). CreateDialog fails silently so you get no OnInitDialog and no messages.

Just install and register the ocx's your app needs on the target machine. In some cases your user may need a licence to use the control.

new/delete overload (warning c4291).

Hi,

I'm using the fftw++ header class for the fftw3 fast Fourier transform library in a pet project.

When I include the file fftw++.h in a source file, I get the following warning:

warning C4291: no matching operator delete found; memory will not be freed if initialization throws an exception

The fftw++ header overloads operators new[] and delete[], like this:

inline void *operator new [](size_t size, Complex)
{
size_t offset=sizeof(Complex)-(size % sizeof(Complex));
void *p=fftw_malloc(size+offset);
p=(char *) p+offset;
if(size && !p) cerr << endl << "Memory limits exceeded" << endl;
return p;
}

inline void operator delete [] (void *p, Complex, size_t size)
{
for(size_t i=size-1; i != (size_t) -1; i--) ((Complex *) p)[i].~Complex();
p=(char *) p-sizeof(Complex);
fftw_free(p);
}

What exactly is the meaning of this warning, and how to get rid of it (without using a #pragma directive)? It seems I have to rewrite operator delete[], I tried interchanging the parameters Complex and size_t to make them match the declaration of operator new[] but it didn't solve the problem.

I'm using Visual Studio .NET 2003.

Any input would be appreciated.

Cheers, blackmesa.

Recently i have gotten into making windows only using CreateWindow and CreateWindowEx functions, no MFC or any other classes, i find that its kinda hard to find code examples that design the windows this way, most use dialogs, designed in the VC++ IDE, or MFC

can anyone point me to some articas or web-sites with code examples that only use CreateWindow(Ex) to make its windows, and controls?

and also, i design my windows for 95/98/ME, and controls that are near the bottom, are very close or past the bottom of the window when the program is run on XP, this is due to the size of the Title Bar/Caption Bar (whatever you want to call it) so is there someway i could adjust this?

Network connection dialogs

PJ Arends22-Jul-04 11:30

PJ Arends

22-Jul-04 11:30

Hi all.

I have a worker thread that calls InternetConnectAttempt() to connect to the internet. At the same time my primary thread has a modeless status dialog that contains a cancel button. What I want to have happen is that when a user clicks the cancel button on the status dialog, the network connection/dial-up dialog that is displayed via the InternetConnectAttempt() call is also canceled.

What I have in my secondary thread is:

m_bIsDialing = TRUE;
Status = Code_That_Calls_InternetAttemptConnect_And_Returns_Status();
m_bIsDialing = FALSE;

And in my primary thread I have

void CXXXXX::OnUserPressedCancel()
{
    if (m_bIsDialing)
    {
        // Use FindWindow() to find the dialup dialog
        CWnd *pDialer = CWnd::FindWindow(_T("#32770"), _T("Dial-up Connection"));
        if (pDialer && IsWindow(*pDialer))
        {
            pDialer->PostMessage(WM_CLOSE);

            // If a connection attempt was in progress, the first
            // WM_CLOSE message will cancel the dialup attempt, a
            // second one is needed to actually close the dialog
            pDialer->PostMessage(WM_CLOSE);
        }
    }
}

Now I tried this code on the client's laptop computer running XP that he connects to the internet via a cable connection. We were in a restuarant so it was not connected. The problem is that the connection dialog that came up was entitled "Network Connection" (or some such), and I was looking for a dialog entitled "Dial-up Connection".

I would like a clue on one of these two questions:

A.) Is there a better way than using FindWindow to get the window handle to the dialog that pops up when a call is made to InternetConnectAttempt()?

B.) Can some one give me a list, or tell me where to find such a list, of all the possible dialogs that can or will pop up when InternetAttemptConnect is called? That way I can use that list to build a search algorithm using FindWindow.

Thanks Smile | :)

You could try setting a CBT hook just before the call to InternetAttemptConnect(). This is what MFC does to map HWNDs to CWnds. Then store the HWND so you can use it later. You could test the class name if you know it doesn't change, or even check some of the controls in the dialog box.
