Hi there,

Is there a way to disallow users from pasting anything to CEdit box control?

Right now they can right click and select the PASTE menu option.
And also do a Control + V.

How to disable this?

please give some sample code.

Thanks in advance.

Yes there is.

See Subclassing CEdit to disable clipboard operations[^] and see if that helps you.

ofstream optimization problem

Hi,

I'm using wofstream to write text to a file

my problem is that, with any level of optimization, neither write() or << allows me to write a wstring or c string in the form of (WCHAR*).

example

C++

WCHAR* str = new WCHAR[MAX_PATH];
wcscpy(str, L"walk");
myfile.write(str, wcslen(str));

No string written to file

C++

wstring str2 = L"walk";
myfile << str2;

No string written to file

I am able to to do

C++

myfile << "String";

how do I fix?

Unfortunately you don't. The wstream types take wide characters in but write them out as normal ASCII. You should use the old C-style fwrite or the newer WriteFile functions which allow you to specify the output character size.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying here. As far as Irecall from all the tests I have run, you cannot write wide characters via a wstream. I would be interested to see the code you have that does work. In the meantime I will retry my own tests.

sorry, I've discovered what was happening, it isn't a problem with wstring optimazation. I was converting the file to another format the functions i'm using behave differently with optimization.

The problem is nothing to do with vectors or wstrings. it's a directx set of functions i'm using that fail when optimazation is turned on. It was difficult to determine tat this was where the program was failing.

I find that very difficult to believe. Much more likely is that you have a bug somewhere that only shows when you have optimization turned on.

well, it could be a mistake I've made but I've managed to find exactly where the error occurs by using #pragma optimize("g", off)
and

it's one function, I can't see any mistakes

C++

#pragma optimize("g", off)

void AddDataObject(ID3DXFileSaveObject* xFileSave, ID3DXFileData* child, ID3DXFileSaveData* xSaveData)
{
	// Add data for this child then each of it's children

	GUID templateid, id;

	child->GetId(&id);
	char name[MAX_PATH];
	
	SIZE_T sz;
	child->GetName(name, &sz);

	SIZE_T dataSize;
	void* data = NULL;

	child->Lock(&dataSize, (LPCVOID*)&data);

the problem is some strings are not loaded, or at least are not written to the new file. e.g. each line in the output file that should contain "Frame frame_name {" (works without opt.) reads "Frame {".

I will try freeing the memory of child data objects although I have assumed they get released when the top level data object get released and I will try what Jochan suggested.

There is very little documentation on how to use these functions.

I won't be able to reply for a while if I do fix the problem but cheers.

Now I'm totally lost; the code you posted does not seem to have anything at all to do with these comments. It may be better to close off this thread and start a new question when you are ready to proceed.

I haven't explained it very well. Basically, I've written a program that writes a .x file using wofstream. But the file doesn't look very pretty so I'm using the directx code I posted to convert it to a better format, so I can also save it as binary or compressed as well as structured text. Basically saves me having to rewrite the program.

I'll close the thread.

That is a recursive function. You may generate assembler output to see the differences between the optimized and unoptimized code.

You should also check for success on all functions that may fail. At least the AddDataObject() return values should be checked and returned upon errors to leave the recursion if something wrent wrong.

Win32 ListView control doesn't display any icons

Jonathan Davies16-Jul-13 7:48

Jonathan Davies

16-Jul-13 7:48

Using VS2008 Prof. on Windows8, a Win32 ListView control in Report mode doesn't display any icons at the start of each row. It shows data which I can sort, but no icons.

I'm assuming its some bit or attribute not set somewhere so have to show all the relevant code for someone to see what I'm missing. The list (header)setup code is here (followed by the row insertion code taken out of its loop and then my test code). All error handling removed. I've compared this to an ATL/WTL program that shows the icons and I can't see any difference.

The image list is initialised by the CDeviceImageList constructor which uses the below code to initialize the list:

C++

class CDeviceImageList
{
private:
	SP_CLASSIMAGELIST_DATA m_spImageData;		//!< Structure containing class image list information.
public:
	/**
		Builds an image-list that contains bitmaps for every installed device-class.
	*/
	CDeviceImageList()
	{
		RtlZeroMemory(&m_spImageData, sizeof(SP_CLASSIMAGELIST_DATA));
		m_spImageData.cbSize = sizeof(SP_CLASSIMAGELIST_DATA);
		BOOL b = SetupDiGetClassImageList(&m_spImageData);
		if(FALSE == b)
		{
			assert(!"Failed to aquire class image list");
		}
	}
         
	operator HIMAGELIST() const throw()
	{ 
		return m_spImageData.ImageList; 
	}

...

ListView setup before the data ...

C++

LVITEM lvItem;
SecureZeroMemory(&lvItem, sizeof(LVITEM));

LVCOLUMN lvCol;
SecureZeroMemory(&lvCol, sizeof(LVCOLUMN));

HWND hList=GetDlgItem(hwnd,IDC_LIST1);

lvCol.pszText=L"Port";                                  // First Header Text
lvCol.mask=LVCF_TEXT;                                   // .pszText is valid


lvCol.cx=60;                                            // width of coloumn 1
lvCol.mask   |= LVCF_WIDTH;                             // .cx (width) is valid


lvCol.iSubItem = 0;                                     // Col 0
lvCol.mask  |= LVCF_SUBITEM;                            // .iSubItem is valid

lvCol.fmt   = HDF_SORTUP;                               // Set an up arrow
lvCol.fmt     |= LVCFMT_LEFT;                           // and left-align the column.
lvCol.mask  |= LVCF_FMT;                                // .format is valid

int nCol = 0;
nCol = ListView_InsertColumn(hList, lvCol.iSubItem, &lvCol);



lvCol.iSubItem = 1;                                     // Col 1
lvCol.pszText=L"Device";                                // Col 1 title
lvCol.cx=220;                                           // Col 1 width
nCol = ListView_InsertColumn(hList, lvCol.iSubItem, &lvCol);


lvCol.iSubItem = 2;                                     // Col 2
lvCol.pszText=L"Manufacturer";                          // Col 2 title
lvCol.cx=100;                                            // width of coloumn
nCol = ListView_InsertColumn(hList, lvCol.iSubItem, &lvCol);



CDeviceImageList cImageList;
HIMAGELIST hImageList = cImageList;

HIMAGELIST hRet = ListView_SetImageList(hList,  hImageList, LVSIL_SMALL,);

ListView_SetExtendedListViewStyle(hList, LVS_EX_INFOTIP | LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS);

At this point I can get the image list back from the ListView
The relevant row insertion code, after which I can get the icons, is below but the ListView doesn't display them...

C++

LVITEM lvItem;
SecureZeroMemory(&lvItem, sizeof(LVITEM));
lvItem.mask=LVIF_TEXT;             // Text Style
lvItem.cchTextMax = 0;           // Max size of text

lvItem.iItem=n;                    // choose item  - n is loop counter here
lvItem.iSubItem=0;                 // Put in first coloumn
lvItem.pszText=m_pData[n]->szName;  // Text to display

lvItem.iImage = ImageIndex;
lvItem.mask |= LVIF_IMAGE;


lvItem.lParam=(LPARAM)m_pData[n];
lvItem.mask |= LVIF_PARAM;

// Get the list view handle
HWND hList=GetDlgItem(hwnd,IDC_LIST1);


int nItemIndex = ListView_InsertItem(hList, &lvItem); // Send info to the Listview

//Presuming don't need lParam set any more...
lvItem.lParam=0;
lvItem.mask &= ~LVIF_PARAM;

//Nor image
lvItem.iImage = 0;
lvItem.mask &= ~LVIF_IMAGE;

lvItem.iSubItem=1;
lvItem.pszText=(LPTSTR)(LPCTSTR)szData[n][1];
ListView_SetItem(hList, &lvItem); // Enter text to SubItems


lvItem.iSubItem=2;
lvItem.pszText=(LPTSTR)(LPCTSTR)szData[n][2];
ListView_SetItem(hList, &lvItem); // Enter text to SubItems

After each loop above I can use the following three lines to get the icons (and a few more to display them as proof). But the ListView still refuses to show them...

HWND hList=GetDlgItem(hwnd,IDC_LIST1);
HIMAGELIST hGotList = ListView_GetImageList(hList, LVSIL_SMALL);
HICON hIcon = ImageList_GetIcon(hGotList, ImageIndex, ILD_NORMAL);

David,
I've now added the code showing the creation of the image list to my question as you're not the only one to ask how it's created or initialized. Basically my CDeviceImageList constructor uses a call to SetupDiGetClassImageList[^].

At the end of my list setup and data initialization I can use the last three lines of code shown to basically: GetDialog, GetListView, and GetIcon followed by a call to

C++

SendMessage(hwnd, WM_SETICON, ICON_SMALL, (LPARAM)hIcon);

to display in the top-left corner of the dialog the very icon I expect to see in the ListView. which would seem to prove the ImageList in the ListView has the icons.

Are they 32 bit? Not to my knowledge.

I've read the stuff on ImageLists, ListViews etc. until I almost know it by heart.

I note that you are using the CDeviceImageList class from this Article[^], in which case you should post your question in the forum at the end of the article to dicuss with the author. Although it looks to me that you have not initialised the object with any icons.
