Me either, but I guess it's just to say that you have access to everything, since I think I've seen in some places it'll check WINVER in certain places (#if WINVER > 0x400)

So you don't get slammed later on, I would go into the header file that contains the prototype for AnimateWindow() and see what value of WINVER it is looking for. Most likely it's 0x0500.

I know you have the code working, but FYI the forum FAQ covers this kind of error and how to correct it:

2.2 I'm trying to call a Windows API, but the compiler gives an undeclared identifier error (C2065). Why?[^]

Hi everyone

Is there a way to get the x and y coordinates of a CMenu item? For example, let's say 3 first items from my menu are :

File Edit View

how can I retrieve the x coordinate of the item "View"?

thanks

Hockey,

??GetMenuItemRect()??
I can't find any function that goes by that name! I got GetMenuItemCount, GetMenuItemID, and GetMenuItemInfo, but no GetMenuItemRect Frown | :(

Where can I find it?

thanks

Where did you look?

I quickly found it here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/resources/menus/menureference/menufunctions/getmenuitemrect.asp[^]

and in the MSDEV VC6 Help.

Sorry to both of you,
I just realize I forgot to mention that I'm working with Windows CE (Microsoft embedded Visual C++). That function is not available on Windows CE Frown | :(

.. So is there another way to do it?

thanks

Hi Thomas,
Know it makes sense. I haven't done any CE development I'm afraid. I just did a quick Google on: GetMenuItemRect CE and several things came up. In particular http://www.netacademia.net/blogspace/petert/archives/000448/readme.htm[^] From this it appears that Windows Template Library - WTL Version 7.1 supports GetMenuItemRect().

I have recently found out (today) how to put an icon on a button. But the icon is 16 x 16 and it's bigger on my button that it usually is when viewed anywhere else, like in Windows Explorer, so it looks like crap. Is there a way, without bit-blitting that I can make the icon size to fit the button if I make the button smaller?

Find a class here on CP that does what you want

or

DrawIconEx()

How do I print my voice mail?

That isn't enough info to go on, can you post how you load the icon (LoadIcon, LoadImage, or something else?), how are you getting the icon on the button (using a class from CP, somewhere else, or is it your own code?).

this is the code I'm using:

m_cmdAddLink.SetIcon(theApp.LoadIcon(IDI_ADDFILE));

where m_cmdAddLink is the CButton variable for the command button

LoadIcon() is the problem - that can only load 32x32 icons. To load other sizes, use LoadImage().

Hi,

I have a bug related to mouse messages in my mfc app. I have lbuttondown and rbuttondown handlers for my cscrollview, and the scroll wheel on a mouse seems to be automatically hooked up to the scroll position of the view, so everything works fine when using a regular mouse.

When using a notebook touchpad the lbuttondown and rbuttondown handlers work as expected, but I get a problem when both BOTH left and mouse buttons are pressed simultaneously. This causes neither the lbuttondown nor rbuttondown messages to be sent, nor does it send the mbuttondown message. But it is obviously sending some sort of message to the program because the cursor changes to an icon similar (but not identical) to the one that appears when you use the scroll wheel on a normal mouse. Unfortunately the program immediately crashes when both buttons are pressed simultaneously on a notebook touchpad. This behaviour doesn't occur if you press both buttons simultaneously on a normal mouse.

Does anybody know what message handler I should be using the capture the problem behaviour?

Thanks for any help!

CListCtrl and images

I have a CListCtrl object with LVS_EX_SUBITEMIMAGES included in extended style. This will let me include images inside subitems.

The subitem images are displayed fine Smile | :)

I don't want images inside the first column, but it does display image 0. After setting that id to -1 the list doesn't display an image but it keeps a space inside the first column as wide as the images.

What can I do to prevent this?

copy files from virtual folders

Hello,

I need a hint how to copy files from virtual folders.
My digital camera is connected as virtual folder in 'my computer' -> 'control panel' -> 'scanners and cameras'.
It is not difficult to gain access to that camera by using iterative IShellFolder commands. GetDisplayName generates a full path like:

'::{GUID of my computer}\::{GUID of control panel}\::{GUID of scanners and camera\devid:{GUID of camera}\0003:\0003\Root\Ext0\DCIM\100Ricoh\picture1234.jpg'

SHOperation fails when passing this path.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Sebastian

After I connect my camera to the computer, the drivers create a drive letter for it. In this case, it's always E:, so I can copy files all day long from drive E:.
