Yes, that reminds me of a recent discussion

Thanks but I already tried this (should have told you before). The syntax has to be BOOL (__stdcall *function). BOOL __stdcall(*function) generates an error message.
If I read all the articles about calling conventions, they learn me that the main difference is in cleaning up the stack. If I read the documentation on this topic in the ms visual c++ help documentation, they only talk about __cdecl __stdcall and __fastcall. But according to this doccumentation, the cleaning-up of the stack is the same for all 3 conventions.
I'm a little confused  (maybe not due to this problem) right now.
Would you have any other suggestion fo me?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
__cdecl is differs from other calling conventions. __cdecl is used for C calling convention.
To be clear about the stack clean up assume the following senario.
In "C", we have an option to pass variable number of parameters to a fucntion.
Generall the function would be defined a
void Add(...)
{
}
you can call this function like
void main()
{
Add(10);
Add(10,20,30);
}
In the above case , caller knows how many parameter is passed to that Add function. Add() function has no clue about how many parameter has been passed to it. In this case Add() function cannot not do stack clean up, becasue it has no clue how many paramter passed ..
Hence here is, caller responsibe to clean up the stack of Add() function, because it knew how many parameter had been passed...
But in case of __stdcall convetion, there are a lot of articles in codeproject, net, usenet available. __stdcall forces that the number of parameter passed to a function must be defined so that the called function can do clean up the stack.
In your code, you have declared a function pointer which is not __stdcall specified. But the funtion you calling is using __stdcall convention. You are calling that function using a function pointer. According to your compiler, you function pointer is following __cdecl because no calling convention specified in your code.
(*fun) ( );
When you call the function, as per __stdcall standard, your called function will do stack clean up. Hence stack is already cleaned...
In the next line, now the caller responsiblity to do clean , because your declaration says your function pointer is follwoing __cdecl convention which mean caller has to clean up the stack.. So the caller tried to clean up not existing stack (Becuase it is already cleaned), hence an error.
Hope you understand this

A __stdcall function’s arguments are pushed onto the stack from right to left, and the called function pops these arguments from the stack before it returns. It cannot be used with a variable-argument function. A __cdecl function’s arguments are pushed onto the stack from right to left, and the stack is cleaned up by the caller.

Hi,
When you need window handle for main window, your can call AfxGetMainWnd ()->GetSafeHwnd() function. this is call from outside window object... From your window object you can getsafehwnd()

Hi,
If I have a popup menu (in HMENU form) which I'm just about to display as the context menu, how is it possible to get the CmdUpdateUI system to update all the commands in the menu with their relevant check states, disabled states etc.? This doesn't seem to happen automatically!
Joel Holdsworth

One method would be to have the MainFrame() the owner of the menu in the call to TrackPopupMenu(). The other would be to look at the code for
void CFrameWnd::OnInitMenuPopup(CMenu* pMenu, UINT nIndex, BOOL bSysMenu)
to see how its done there any in effect mirror the code yourself.
If you vote me down, my score will only get lower
|

Between calls to GetSubMenu() and TrackPopupMenu(), you should be able to use CheckMenuItem().

Yeah it's fine setting the check state, but I'd like to do it through the normal cmd UI mechanism. Much more elegant!

Agreed. Here's how I did it:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyView, CListView)
ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT(NM_RCLICK, OnRclick)
ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(ID_ITEM_DELETE, OnUpdateItemDelete)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
void CMyView::OnRclick(LPNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
CListCtrl &ctrlList = GetListCtrl();
CPoint pt;
CMenu menu,
*pSubMenu;
if (ctrlList.GetNextItem(-1, LVIS_SELECTED) != -1)
{
menu.LoadMenu(IDR_ITEM_MENU);
pSubMenu = menu.GetSubMenu(0);
pt = GetMessagePos();
pSubMenu->TrackPopupMenu(TPM_LEFTALIGN, pt.x, pt.y, this);
}
*pResult = 0;
}
void CMyView::OnUpdateItemDelete(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)
{
CListCtrl &ctrlList = GetListCtrl();
pCmdUI->Enable(ctrlList.GetNextItem(-1, LVIS_SELECTED) != -1);
}Now the Delete item in the main menu, the toolbar button, and the context menu is enabled/disabled correctly.

Hmm, that interesting. I'm basically doing the exact same thing, but it's not working. Maybe it's because your class is derrived from CView rather than CWnd, so MFC has added some voodoo magic. I'm not sure.
Joel Holdsworth

Aha.... Solved it. Just a case of tweaking the standard message routing a little:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CLiveView, CWnd)
...
ON_MESSAGE(WM_INITMENUPOPUP, OnInitMenuPopup)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
LRESULT CLiveView::OnInitMenuPopup( WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam )
{
return AfxGetMainWnd()->SendMessage(WM_INITMENUPOPUP, wparam, lparam);
}Thanks for your help.

char *a[5];
Above line allows me to enter 5 strings like *(a+1) etc.
thats fine when # of do not change.
How can i do it dynamically, ie. user enters the # of strings to be entered.
char *a;
a = new char[5];
above one only allocates 5 characters and not 5 strings
Please help thanx.

Just use char ** a to represent a "pointer to pointer to char." You can then allocate 5 strings of length 10 characters as follows:
a = new char ** [5];
for(int Index = 0; Index < 5; Index++)
{
a[Index] = new char [10];
}

It should be that instead:

char (*a)[5];
a=(char**)new char;

Hello,
I have a class CStaticEx, which is derived from CStatic and the text is drawn in the OnPaint() of CStaticEx.
I use SetDialogBkColor(...) to change the background and text color of the dialogs in my program.
But the text drawn in OnPaint of CStaticEx is black.
Is there any function to get the dialog background and text colors?
Thanks in advance.

GetSysColor(COLOR_3DFACE) should give you the dialog color.
GetSysColor(COLOR_WINDOWTEXT) should give you the right text color.
