You're welcome; good luck in your endeavours.
It's time for a new signature.
|

I created a function that receives several arguments.
The function processes text and stores it in a variable.
char* Value = NULL;
function (arg, arg, arg, Value);
function declaration
function (arg, arg, arg, char *Value)
I did a read out from within the function, and the result is successfully stored in my desired Value.
However when the function returns to continue.
A CRT_DEBUGGER_HOOK exception is thrown!

|
|
|
It would help if you posted the code within the function.
|
|
|
|
|
If my mind serves me right, then this should go smoothly!
functionA(const char* Text, char *Value);
char *Value;
functionA (Paragraph, Value)
If functionA creates a char array and adds it to Value argument, when the procedure finishes whatever condition Value was will remain the same. Or is that incorrect?!

Correct. However whatever Value points to may have been changed by functionA().
It's time for a new signature.

You're correct.
This is because the pointer variable is passed by value.
If you want it to change you must either do this -
functionA(const char* Text, char** Value)
char* Value;
functionA(Paragraph, &Value); Or do this -
functionA(const char* Text, char*& Value)
char* Value;
functionA(Paragraph, Value);

Add & and it fixed it!
I tried adding & to the value being passed in the function, but the IDE started underlining red for errors.

Please post the code that is showing errors.

How can I get the standard behavior of hiding menu bar when pushing Alt key and showing the menu bar when I click on the App. e.g Internet explorer. I know how to capture the Alt key and doing manually, I just think this might be part of windows behavior though?
Any ideas?

if you open internet explorer, you push the Alt key, it toggles the menu on and off. To get that behavior in my MFC application, I can do just that by capturing the Alt key and showing/hiding the menu. I was wondering if this comes built in though with some kind of toggle?

For me, the Alt key sets and removes focus on the File menu. I've never seen a menu disappear as the result of pressing the Alt key.

On my IE (ie8 64bits) menu-bar is not visible, and when pressing alt, it is displayed.
In my experience, pressing alt will display the "_" under the mnemonic.
Watched code never compiles.

I'm familiar with that functionality, too, but not the other (i.e., disappearing).

With the menu displayed in IE 7, select View -> Toolbars -> (checked)Menu Bar. This should now turn off the Menu in IE. If you now press the Alt key, the menu will reappear. I think this is the behaviour that the OP is looking for. I doubt that it is standard in the MFC CMenu class. You might be able to extend that class to make it behave this way.

Crap, I never seen that before!!! that's awful behaviour!!!
Don't do that, it's not a standard behaviour (according to the Vista/7 User Experience document, as far as I can see).
In general, you don't hide UI components and have the user "discover" them by luck.

Yes, I agree that it is not a good behavior. But I was building an application (console Gauges) and I wanted to strip them as much as possible even hiding toolbars, titlebars. If all controls are stripped from my app including menu bar, I needed an easy toggle to get them back on the app, thats how I came across the Alt key behavior.

I've also seen this on Windows Live Mail and some others that I don't remember.
After spy++ing on the messages to the window it looks like you have to do this yourself.
You could maybe use SetMenu to show and hide the menu when the Alt key is toggled.

I am able to see that feature on Windows 7 file explorer.

Look at the DeleteExecutableBF() function here.
