Context Menu on Context Menu

My app is COM using WTL. On the main menu, we have a Reports pulldown menu. On the Reports options, there are right arrows indicating another pulldown menu. For other dialogs, we have buttons on the bottom (standard OK, Apply, Cancel), including a Reports button. They tried to implement it so that a context menu appears upon pushing the Reports button, but they had no luck. Right now that bottom button just brings up another dialog displaying options. Has anyone done this kind of stuff before?

Please help if you can Wink | ;)

Thanks,
Lilian

That's simple, check out the Buttons section at this site for menu button samples. It just involves handling the WM_COMMAND message and calling TrackPopupMenu().

CMsFlexGrid : any response, please

I have a CMsFlxGrid control in a CFormView. I have two (2) questions which I am struggling with.

1. Is there any way to make a row in a grid two lines deep? That is, they can type information on the first line of the row, hit enter and continue typing information on the second line of the same row. So you have something like:

-----------------------------------
line 1 text | just one 1 of text
line 2 text |
-----------------------------------

So there are two (2) columns and one grid row, but the single grid row has two (2) lines of text.

2. Is there any way of adding a push button to a cell? Examples are cherished Smile | :)

Please, please, any response any one can give me will be greatly appreciated. There is not much documentation on this control.

Sincerely,
Danielle (an overworked graduate student)

It's very difficult to make all of them...
The first option is not possible.
And the second one, is possible using a simple trick, only put the button, over the grid, in the point that you want. You can get the cordinated of a cell, and with that you can put the button in the correct place, usin SetWindowPlacement...

AnsiString EditText = RichEdit1->Lines->Text;
for (int i=1;i<=EditText.Length();i++) {
RichEdit2->Lines->Text = RichEdit2->Lines->Text + IntToHex(EditText[i],2);

Very crude, but i think this should work (send 2 chars at a time in your case)

int Hex2Int(char* hex)
{if (!*hex) return 0;

 int tmp = 0; 
 if (*hex >= '0' && *hex <= '9')
	 tmp = *hex - '0';
 else if (*hex >= 'A' && *hex <= 'F')
	 tmp = *hex - 'A' + 10;
 else if (*hex >= 'a' && *hex <= 'f')
	 tmp = *hex - 'a' + 10;

 return (tmp << (4*(strlen(hex)-1))) + Hex2Int(hex+sizeof(char));
}

sorry i am not sure how to implement this on to a decrypt button?

when i press encrypt i get something like this:
68
65
72
65
73
20
77
68
61
74
20
68
61
70
70
65
6E
73
0D
0A

and that says: heres what happens
so i need the button to change it back from numbers to the text?

Perhaps it is not the best solution for you. Anyway, what the function does is taking a string like |6|8|\0| and turn it into the number 104 decimal - the ascii code for 'h'. If you can access each line as a string, you can send it to the function and get back a char. The string must be null-terminated, though.

Those are all ASCII character values displayed in hex. Try sprintf with a %c format specifier to get the text character.
See the docs on sprintf for more details.

MFC Metafile to --> ATL ActiveX

15-Feb-02 6:19

right heres what i have now:

Encrypt:
AnsiString EditText = RichEdit1->Lines->Text;
for (int i=1;i<=EditText.Length();i++) {
Form1->Tmp = Form1->Tmp + IntToHex(EditText[i],2);
}
RichEdit1->Lines->Text = "";
RichEdit1->Lines->Text = Form1->Tmp;
Form1->Tmp = "";

Decrypt:
AnsiString DeCrypt = Form1->RichEdit1->Lines->Text;
int i = 1;
int l = 2;
for ( ;i<decrypt.length() &&="" l<decrypt.length();i="i" +="" 2="" ,="" l="l" 2)="" {
="" form1-="">Tmp = DeCrypt[i];
Form1->Tmp = Form1->Tmp + DeCrypt[l];
Form1->RichEdit1->Lines->Append (Form1->Tmp);
}

so now: hello when encrypted =
68656C6C6F0D0A

and on decrypt i get:
68
65
6C
6C
6F
0D
0A

so tmp contains the temp string for each letter i now just need tmp to be converted?

Hi,

I need to give as a param a metafile created with my MFC application to an ActiveX object that I´ve created with ATL ( my idea is to display that Metafile in the ActiveX Object).

Sorry but I´m, a little bit novice in COM, what is the good way to do that ?, Thanks

How to make a view in the main frame to have a flat look, not sunken? Same with splitters. Playing with window styles does not do. If any one knows a tested solution, please reply. Thanks in advance.

WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE gives the effect of the suken edge

Remove this bit from windows styles and you should be good.

Compiling MFC in a shared DLL

15-Feb-02 0:08

I'm working with eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0 and I'm having the following problem: I need to compile a project for HPC2000 device / Win32 (WCE ARM) Debug CPU using MFC in a Shared DLL. But when I compile with this option or MFC in a Static Library, I have the same executable file size. I notice that when I use Shared DLL option, it's linking statically too.

I would appreciate your help.

Thank you

Hi,

it's the first time i try to create a dll application which could be used from excel. So i try to do it by creating a MFC dynamically linked dll, where i put a simply code for a simply function:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

CEssai2App theApp;

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int Maximum(int a,int b)
{

AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());

int max;

I guess you forgot the __stdcall (aka WINAPI) specifier.

Of course. Define your function as follows:
