Have you seen the Scribble tutorial on MSDN? It starts from scratch and builds up to a very detailed application.

I know you didn't ask for a book, but I really think you should treat yourself with "MFC Internals" by George Shepherd and Scot Wingo. It's very old (1996), covers MFC 4.0 (many versions back) but it is still the bible of MFC programming. It covers all the fundamental functionalities of MFC and gives you an in-depth understanding of the framework. And MFC really haven't changed that much since 4.0. I regularly read it although I've been programming MFC for 10 years. You can get some used copies for about $7 at Amazon.

Another must-have book is "Programming Visual C++" by Kruglinski, Wingo and Shepherd, also available used at Amazon (<$5)

Cheers

Child control notification

Hi all,

I have a dialog box which has rich-edit as child control inside it.

When i click inside the rich-edit box, focus is in the rich-edit.
Now when i press 'Tab' key from here, then text in rich-edit is highlighted.
But focus does not move outside rich-edit. Instead i want the focus to move to other controls in the main dialog, when i press 'Tab' key inside rich-edit.

Please suggest on how should i handle Tab key notification for rich-edit in this dialog.

Thanks in Advance

set ordering.

Hi prasad,

i have set tab-order appropriately.
But since rich-edit is a child control inside the dialog, on pressing tab control does not go outside rich-edit.

Please see if you find the solution.

Tell me if the problem is clear.

Thanks

The behavior you describe is not the default. You are doing something else in your code that is causing this behavior. To verify this, create a temporary dialog-based application, add a rich edit control to the dialog template, call AfxInitRichEdit() in InitInstance(), and run the application. Notice anything different?

To use dll classes

How do i use functions that have been defined in a dll?

For example:
I built a ATL/Dll that has a class definition. This class has some methods and atributtes. How can i use that methods and atributtes in a other project?

I'm using Visual c++ 6.0;

I wait for reply!
Greatful!

You can either export the member functions with __declspec( dllexport ), or you convert the class to a COM interface which has get/set functions.

Don't try it, just do it! Wink | ;-)

Simply, C++ has a different order of construction than C# or Java. It was a design decision, not a bug.

OPOS DRIVER - OCX and DLL

honae20-Sep-05 2:18

20-Sep-05 2:18

I am in a project that aims to build a opos driver, a species of intermediary between application and opos devices that support the standard. The opos driver is divided in two parts: The Control Object(CO), that makes the interface with application and the Service Object(SO), that makes the interface with the devices. The CO makes methods calls in the SO.
My problem is the following one: The CO are ActiveX controls(ocx) and SO are dlls. I am not knowing that type of project I must create in the Visaul c++ and how do I link the CO and the SO? I need them( ocx and dll) will be invisible at runtime. I would like that somebody help about that. Somekind of help is welcome. I wait reply! Grateful! Helio

P.S.: for more information about opos standard "monroecs.com/opos.htm"

Friends there are two simple C++ classes Car and Engine. I am getting the following error in the function Start of class Engine

d:\Car\Car.cpp(19): error C2027: use of undefined type 'Car'

Please tell me why i am getting this error. Code is here:

class Car; // Forward Declaration

class Engine
{
public:

	Engine(Car *pCar)
	{
	  m_pCar = new Car();
	}

	void Start()
	{
	  m_pCar->OnStart();  // ERROR HERE: use of undefined type 'Car'
	}

private:

    Car *m_pCar;
};


class Car
{
  public:

	Car()
	{
	}

	void OnStart()
	{
  	}

};

you must declare class Car before using it...

precede your class Engine definition with : class Car;
