static variable causes link error

I created a class CCamera using Insert->New Class MFC with the base class CView.
I made the constructor and destructor public(they were protected when created).I declared a static int varialble CamCounter in Camera.h. I included Camera.h in a DialogClass and tried to use the static variable CCamera::cameraCount in Dialog Class.
But it gave a link error
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static int CCamera::cameraCount"

What could be reason behind this?

did you initialize it in the Camera.cpp file like this

int CCamera::cameraCount = 0;

Add the following line somewhere at the top of Camera.cpp after #including Camera.h:

static int CCamera::cameraCount = 0;

Hope this helps

problem with highlighting a selected thumbnail in clistctrl

Hi,

I using a clistctrl to display a list of thumbnails(that i extract using shell's IExtractImage). All works well but when i select a thumbnail with the mouse the whole thumbnail is masked with a blueish color instead of just highlighting the frame of the thumbnail as it's done in winxp file explorer(thumbnails view).

Does anybody know how to fix it? Help would be highly appriciated!

Thanks a lot!

if you want to change highlight from ListCtrl you should use NM_CUSTOMDRAW

Hello

I have created the dialog based application . ON that dialog I don't want any menubars and captions. i.e I will disable the title bar and systemmenu.

SO I have to set the image to it. The image will be having the title bar and the close button and minimize button on it. So I want to hide the portion of image having the toolbar and when user moves the nouse at that position i want to show it again.

So how would I achieve it.

Regards

Cheers

You will need to handle the WM_NCPAINT messages for your application. The caption bar and buttons are part of the non-client area.

Your 'question' is a bit vague. The following variables all occupy a set amount of space in the computer's memory:

int x;
char y;
double z;

To put information into them, use:

x = 1;
y = 'A';
z = 9.01;

To get information from them, simply reference them like:

int a = x;
or
printf("%d", x);

If I'm way off, please restate your question and what you are trying to accomplish.

Hi!

I've searched the site and the forums, but I have only found sth about that topic using the MFC. I need that in pure Win32Api.

How can I make Menus look like they are in vs2005 or sth. I mean the gray background, icons and so on?
I hope you can help me Smile | :)

MFC classes are only Win32 wrappers. so if you look further in the MFC examples, you could get which win32 functions are used...
