I cannot find any reference to that option in Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC): Link Options[^], where the normal option would be -lbluetooth. I can only assume it is an add-on from somewhere that allows yo to specify the full library name.

My latest Visual Studio does not display the resources in the Resources tab or the classes in the Classes view.

It's version 16.11.5

I'm doing clean builds from new git clone (but it should not matter with MFC resources).

I've looked and tried to apply different fixes and workarounds (unload/reload projects, create dummy project ... ) and nothing really works.

Any ideas ?

Hmm, works for me. I assume you've tried View->"Class View (Ctrl+Shift+C)" and View->"Other Windows"->"Resource View (Ctrl_Shift+E)"

It works for me the same way as in 16.11.3. No differences, no problems.

Dialog GetClientRect vs RichEdit ClientRect doesnt seem correct

Re: Dialog GetClientRect vs RichEdit ClientRect doesnt seem correct

Hi
I have a richedit control as child control in my modeless dialog. I have populated editcontrol via streamin SF_TEXT with a program listing. I am looking to insert a bullet to specify a breakpoint.

After doing some research there were a number of articles about the richedit ole interface. With the bitmap being an ole client. I remember at one time getting this work (had different computer but still had windows 10)

regardless just looking back at those articles it seems the ole support would only work with RTF format text.

I am now thinking of going back to original API for bitmaps by that I mean BitBlt and or Strechbilt.

In my initdialog after creating the rich edit both object via new and creating a HWND via DDX_CONTROL I did a Clientrect on bot the modless dialog box and the richedit control it showed that right variable of the RECT structure for richedit window was 20 pixels less than the right viariable of the parent modeless dialog box. I think those 20 pixels would be enough for me to insert a bullet bmp

Yet when eyeballing the output, it seemed the text of the richedit was right up against the frame of the modeless dialog box

I think 20 pixels would be something I would notice

am I not understanding things correctly

thanks

I'm not sure, but couldn't it be that the dialog's client rect is relative to the upper left of the window, while the child control's client rect is relative to the upper left of the dialog's client rect?

The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Not sure what you mean by window in dialog box same as CFRamewnd there is a frame that takes up space
The GetClientRect implies as in Client the white back ground portion
I mean if you were to Draw text the coordinates would be the white back ground right So if the richedit child control is +20 from the client area of dialog the text I’m writting to or streaming shouldn’t be right up against the frame right ?

Inserting a Bitmap into a RichEditctrl

17-Oct-21 22:02

I don't have MFC so I cannot test this control. However, it occurs to me that perhaps the RichEdit control reserves some edge space for its own purposes (possibly a scrollbar). Try calling GetWindowRect on the control and compare that with the dialog's client rect.

[edit]
I just checked the difference between the Window and Client sizes of a simple Edit control. The width was 25 pixels different, and the height 4. So I guess what you are seeing is correct.

Re: Inserting a Bitmap into a RichEditctrl

I had this code working in the begining of this year. I a program listing in a rich edit control that I streamed in with SF_TEXT (looked really) nice. I then wanted insert a bullet to indicate a break point something similar to what visual studio does.

I had a red bullet and used the Richedit OLE interface along the lines in what is in KB Article Q220844 All of the sudden now its not working the red bullet does even look a bitmap after I do insertobject

Could it be to fixes windows have something to do with this

I'll end by asking a general question is it possible to insert a bitmap (in may case a red bullet ) in Richedit doc where I streamed in data in SF_TEXT format ?

If a bitmap does not work, could you use an HTML character instead? I'm not sure what format CRichEditCtrl uses, but maybe something like:

Unable to initialize of clear initial buffer or value of richeditcontrol

14-Oct-21 9:49

I know I tried streaming in a z/os assembler listing when I look at the project date it was 1/2020 it was under windows 10 I now have a different computer newer version of windows 10 back then inserting the bullet via richeditole->object worked
I just would like to ask you a general question if streamin the text with SF_TEXT should I after doing the other api calls be able to do richediole->insertobject I did setsel to where I want to place it and put value in REFORMT structure to use current selection for bitmap should this work if initial text was streamed in with SF_TEXT

Re: Unable to initialize of clear initial buffer or value of richeditcontrol

I have a richedit control which first time I am not able to clear out to nulls or have no value

Below is the code for CGRegs which a modeless Cdialog in which the client area is filled by a rich edit

as you can see all the way on the bottom I select the entire richedit and do a Clear

The first time around before General Purpose Registers Cdialog/richedit is filled I do a Stream out

I would assume the value of cb would be zero but its not its 0x7b for some unexplained reason more so

the value of the buffer of the rich edit is

pbBuff = 0x000001d45061df80 "{\\rtf1\\ansi\\deff0{\\fonttbl{\\f0\\fnil\\fcharset0 Courier New;}}\r\n\\viewkind4\\uc1\\pard\\lang1033\\f0\\fs17

Dont know what this is when I try to populate the the richedit with the register value it puts after the string

 {\rtf1\ansi\deff0{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\
\viewkind4 GPR 00=000000_00000114 GPR 04=00000000_FFFF

Any one the know who I can clear the inital value of the rich edit

thanks

C++

gprrichedit = new CRichEditCtrl;
CDialog::OnInitDialog();
gprrichedit->SetSel(0, -1);
gprrichedit->Clear();

You are creating a new RichEdit control so it will not contain any data, so no need to clear it. As to the other code you show above, I cannot understand what it is about; e.g:

C++

pbBuff = 0x000001d45061df80 "{\\rtf1\\ansi\\deff0{\\fonttbl{\\f0\\fnil\\fcharset0 Courier New;}}\r\n\\viewkind4\\uc1\\pard\\lang1033\\f0\\fs17

is not valid, since the parameter is a long integer.

That’s the data I find the first time I call streamout with cb being x’7B’

Okay thanks

Re: Unable to initialize of clear initial buffer or value of richeditcontrol

I think that is just the base control data for CRichEdit text, which is used to format it in the display. If you want pure text then you need to use CEdit.

What does that mean? Is it a quirk of Google Translate?

Based on the language that I thought seemed reasonable given your CP username, I tried Google translate from English to Portuguese (Em seguida, faça o incremento B por uma unidade e repita as 4 operações) and back to English. That gives "Then increment B by one unit and repeat the 4 operations." - that makes more sense.
