and how do i add a event handler? or do i have to write a different class for every edit control?

Derive your control from CEdit into CMyEdit. Replace occurences of CEdit in the Message Mapping for CMyEdit. Then, all "usual" CEdit event handlers will be available, plus the "usual" window message handler.

To decouple things a bit, you could have your subclassed edit control send a message back to its parent window, perhaps something in the WM_APP range (e.g. WM_APP + 1).
In the parent window class, you would then handle your WM_APP message using an ON_MESSAGE() entry in the message map. See MFC Technical Note 6[^] for more information about ON_MESSAGE.
To handle a custom message, your function should be prototyped as LRESULT OnMyMessage(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam).
As an alternative, you could do what the edit control normally does and send a WM_COMMAND message with a code you define (that doesn't clash with the normal edit control notification codes), the ID of your control (which you can get with GetDlgCtrlID) and the window handle of the control (m_hWnd). This does run the risk of potentially clashing with a Windows-defined message code in a future version of Windows. The existing codes are defined in WINUSER.H. If you go this way, handle the message with ON_CONTROL().

thank you very much!
I'll try and see what i can do.

|
|

if i have file name, is there any function that can give me the path or diretory where the file is saved?
for example, filename = notepad.exe
then path = c:\window
thank you

One solution is FindFirstFile() and FindNextFile().

Use AssocQueryString(ASSOCF_OPEN_BYEXENAME,ASSOCSTR_EXECUTABLE,...). For this to be included in your IDE you might need to download the latest SDK from MS.

Unless I've moved Notepad.exe to c:\some\path\way\down\deep\in\windows
You'll need to use kuphryn's suggestion.

I'm writting an application that does several processing steps on a file, like encription, compression, checksum calculation, etc, and writes the result to another file. And this is to be done with lots of files of different sizes.
I'ld like to know if, in terms of performance, it would be better to use the CRT, the Win32 API for File I/O or the Win32API for File Mapping or another that I'm not aware .
Also I'ld like to know if using concurrent threads to write several files to disk at the same time would be a good option or would it cause havoc in the file system.
Thank you

MC crt usually uses Win32 APIs anyway.
File mapping is useful because you work with memory and write to the file once.
If you can divide your application tasks to write several files at once, it is a great idea( it is probably one of the most efficient use of MT).

Win32 API would be the fastest because all the other methods use Win32 API but as I say that it does not make a lot of difference because the hard drive is much slower than memory or the CPU so a few more cpu instructions will not make a difference when the CPU executes billions of instructions a second.

If the OS did not cache the data this would be very bad for performance because this will cause the disk to thrash, however with cache some of this will be masked by the system. I do not recommend this however.

Definitely : do not do that.

And why not? There is no problem having several threads writing to different files the same time.
What will be a problem is having several threads writing to the SAME file at the same time.

Won't that add to disk and disk cache fragmentation? My principal concern is speed, but I don't want to have to use defrag in the end 
Thank you

If you add small chunks to the file and either closes the file or empty the cache and then adds more data and repeat. Then you will have fragmentation.
If you really is concerned you can always reserve a filesize, but I dont think it will be necessary if you have NTFS. And the windows file cache will also minimize the number of writes that actually goes to the HD.

Magnus is correct. There's nothing wrong with multiple threads writing to multiple files at the same time.
Multiple threads writing to the same file is a really bad idea. It will work if you do it properly, but really, really, really, dangerous.

I'm working on a project which is Single Document-MFC.
I'm learning database(ODBC) programing with visual c++ 6.0.
I want enter a numaric value into an EditBox.
Then this value should be stored in *.mdb table as long integer.
I chose catagory as value and variable type long from class wizard.
But I could not write any code for it.
please,help me !

Add a handler for IDOK using the class wizard. In your OnOk() member function add code to store your long value to the database using ODBC. I believe you have to add your code after the call to the base class.

Well, im not sure its refered to as dynamic text, but here's what i want to do.
Suppose i have a word in a text file. I input that word into a string, call it str_word. What i'd like to do is display that word in my dialog box. Just like i would a static test, but instead of creating the static text before runtime, it outputs the str_word.
ie, in a console application, i'd do something like...
cout << "You are now editing " << str_word << endl;
thats essentially what i'd like to do, but this is in a MFC dialog box, not in an edit control, listbox or anything, its just like static text.

Add a static text to your dialog (put anything you want in it, you can put an empty string) and rename it to another ID (say IDC_MYTEXT). Be sure the static text window is long enough to contain all the desired text.
Then read your string and use this:
GetDlgItem(IDC_MYTEXT)->SetWindowText(str_word);
|
|
|
|
|
thankya!

Or even SetDlgItemText( IDC_MYTEXT, str_word ) which is quicker to type, and has less 'noise', IMO.

This is just for my personal knowledge, but ion C++, is tere an easier way to convert a string into an LPCTSTR? Here's how im doing it now, which is quite laborious...
<br />
int ch_num = 0;<br />
string tool_name;<br />
LPCTSTR str_word = "";<br />
channel_gettoolname(ch_num, tool_name);<br />
tool_name += ".";<br />
CString boo;<br />
char bleh[100];<br />
for(int i = 0; i < tool_name.size(); i++)<br />
{<br />
bleh[i] = tool_name[i];<br />
boo += bleh[i];<br />
}<br />
str_word = boo;<br />
GetDlgItem(IDC_ch0edittxt)->SetWindowText(str_word);<br />
where channel_gettoolname(ch_num, tool_name); passes a string, 'tool_name' by reference.
i have to covnert my string into an array of Char, convert the array of Char into a CString, then convert the CString into an LPCTSRT. i tried strcpy() but it kept saying i cant convert a string into a char.

If you mean a std::string, bear in mind that it isn't a Unicode string, it's an ANSI one. If you're compiling for ANSI, this isn't a problem (since TCHAR == char, for a build where UNICODE isn't defined).
You can access the array of characters in a std::string by calling the c_str() member function.
You should be able to write:
std::string tool_name;
channel_gettoolname( ch_num, tool_name );
tool_name += ".";
SetDlgItemText( IDC_ch0edittxt, tool_name.c_str() ); Hey, where'd my line-spacing go??
