I've created the ActiveX Document Server to place it's objects in Word. But I have a great problem. When i add the object to Word, it blinks several times. Everybody who worked with Microsoft Equation know this problem. It is really hard to work with this blinking when you have to create objects often. Does anybody know some solution of this problem?..

thanks

DialolgProc doesnt work

I need some code to see how to create a dialog based application with different background color without using MFC. I need help.
I am creating a Dialog Based application without MFC and I am also changing background color by ErasingBackground myself and handling WM_CTLCOLOTSTATIC AND WM_CTLCOLORDLG.
This whole works fine. But after sometime the window behaves awkwardly.
The scrollbar buttons of one edit control say 5 and 6 instead of arrows and the caption bar doesnt draw fine. I am also registering the DialogProc as WindowProc. and using CreateDialog to create dialog.
Do I also need a window proc tht creates a dialog after itself.

Following is the code for WinMain and then is the code for DialogProc

<br />
int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,<br />
                     HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,<br />
                     LPSTR     lpCmdLine,<br />
                     int       nCmdShow)<br />
{<br />

	hMainInstance=hInstance;<br />
<br />

 <br />
<br />
	RegisterClassEx(&wnd);<br />
<br />
	// Call coinitialize because we're gonna use it<br />
	CoInitialize(NULL);<br />
<br />
	m_hwndMain=CreateDialog(GetModuleHandle(NULL),MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_MAIN_DLG),NULL,(DLGPROC)DialogProc);<br />
	CoUninitialize();<br />
<br />
	if(m_hwndMain==NULL)<br />
		return 0;<br />
	// Give the handle of main window to ras class to make use of it later<br />
	HRGN hRgn=GetRgnInfo();<br />
	SetWindowRgn(m_hwndMain,hRgn,TRUE);<br />
	<br />
     while (GetMessage (&msg, NULL, 0, 0))<br />
     {<br />
          TranslateMessage (&msg);<br />

I can't see that you're handling WM_PAINT.
I'm not sure but WM_PAINT should fix the problem.

Your problem is that you are running out of GDI resources because you are not deleting your brushes in your calls to the CTLCOLOR messages. The best way to handle that is to create a member variable in your window class or a global variable that gets initialized and holds the brush. Then you just hand out that same brush over and over.

Good luck

THanks. I have done that. Well I did one more thing last night and it made the application to work fine.
I used this code to handle WM_NCPAINT

<br />
		case WM_NCPAINT:<br />
			if(hwndDlg==m_hwndMain)<br />
			{			<br />
				hDC=BeginPaint(hwndDlg,&paint);<br />
				paint.fErase=FALSE;<br />
				EndPaint(hwndDlg,&paint);<br />
				ReleaseDC(hwndDlg,hDC);<br />
			}<br />
			return FALSE;<br />
			break;<br />

If I dont use it I dont get my title bar drawn and if I use it it works fine. Dont actually know why is it working with that. Must be inside of my code.

Why can't use CFindReplaceDialog as A Base Class?

When i create a new Class.
I want to do it base as the class CFindReplaceDialog.

But i can't choose it.

Why?

how to do it ?

But you can do it by hand!
If you really HAVE TO use the wizard, simply make the class derived from something else (CDialog might be OK when ypu design a dialog), then in the header change the #include line of the header-file to that of CFindReplaceDialog.
Then you only need to change every occurence of CDialog in your header and code files to saying CFindReplaceDialog and you are done.

your mean is frist choose the CDialog as the Base Class?

and then replace the CDialog to CFindReplaceDialog in the cpp and h file?

is right?

First, MSDN says: "CFindReplaceDialog objects are constructed on the heap with the new operator".
Maybe doing so with your class may help?

CMyFindDlg* pDlg = new CMyFindDlg();

Second, you cant make a CMyFindDlg without parameters, because you have no constructor defined that uses no parameters. This is what the compiler is saying here:

": error C2512: 'CMyFindDlg' : no appropriate default constructor available".

Call your constructor with any constructor arguments you need, construct the CFindReplaceDialog without parameters (as you do) and store the parameters in member vars of CMyFindDlg until you need them.

Third, as the MSDN states in the article about CFindReplaceDialog,
you show the dialog using the Create()-function.
Do this when calling your dialog (and override this function as neccesary).

Hope this helps

Thanks all you say.

i know why it has an error.

but i don't konw how to make it right.

i try :CMyFindDlg* pDlg = new CMyFindDlg();
but it isn't right.

so i will do as it have parameters.

for example:

if I New a class CMyFindDlg base on the class CFindReplaceDialog
when i use the new class CMyFindDlg to define a object in the CMainFrame.

i will do :
void CMainFrame::OnFind()
{
// TODO: Add your command handler code here
CMyFindDlg dlg(...) //here ,how to write? can you help me?

}

wait you.

i feel good.

Re: Why can't use CFindReplaceDialog as A Base Class?

jhwurmbach3-Dec-02 1:24

Try something like this:

void CMainFrame::OnFind() 
{
  // TODO: Add your command handler code here
  CMyFindDlg* pDlg = new CMyFindDlg(..you parameters..);
  pDlg->Create(..parameters that CFindReplaceDialog::Create needs..);
}

This Way you first construct your Object, giving it the parameters it needs, and later display it, using the parameters that create needs.
You did #include < afxdlgs.h > ? MSDN says there are the headers for CFindReplaceDialog.

Hope this helps

but i don't how to over write the CFindReplaceDialog::Create
in the NEW Class CMyFindDlg.

i try:
//in CMyFindDlg.hF
BOOL Create(BOOL bFindDialogOnly,
LPCTSTR lpszFindWhat,
LPCTSTR lpszReplaceWith = NULL,
DWORD dwFlags = FR_DOWN,
CWnd* pParentWnd = NULL);

//in CMyFindDlg.cpp
CMyFindDlg::Create(BOOL bFindDialogOnly, LPCTSTR lpszFindWhat,
LPCTSTR lpszReplaceWith, DWORD dwFlags, CWnd* pParentWnd )
{
return TRUE;
}

when i use :
void CMainFrame::OnFind()
{
// TODO: Add your command handler code here
CMyFindDlg* pDlg = new CMyFindDlg();
pDlg->Create( TRUE, "", "", FR_DOWN, this );

}
to do

it run CMyFindDlg::Create() ,not the CFindReplaceDialog::Create.

This means you're trying to build your object, somewhere, but do not provide a constructor that has no arguments. Actually I thought the compiler wrote you one if you did not provide it, so it's more likely the default constructor is private, meaning you cannot access it.

zhdleonid wrote:
: CFindReplaceDialog()

Of what use is this, seeing as you don't pass in anything ? Does CFileReplaceDialog have a default constructor ?

It's an MFC dialog, it will be defined in the MFC source, which comes with VC. Do a find in files for CFindReplaceDialog:: and you'll find the source.

Instead of using (c) in the About box I used the real symbol ©.
On my machine and a lot of others it is perfectly visible.

But, I have a colleague (who runs XP) who doesn't see that symbol
in the about box. Instead he sees a '?'.
Also, when he opens my project in MSDEV, he can't see the ©,
but again sees a '?' instead.

When he looks e.g. at the about box of Outlook the © is perfectly visible.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks.
