Hi ...

I hope somebody can help me. I am new on Visual C++ 6. Now I`m testing around for a bit. I know that there is a way to show all avaible methods on an element after the "." ...

If I give m_List1 (edited in Class-Editor->Member-Variables) an then the dot (.) Studio shows all useable methods.

Can anybody telle where I can change this option. Now it shows nothing if I give the dot.

Best regards
Steffen

This is a feature of v6. I'm not exactly sure what causes it, or even what fixes it, but try deleting the project's temporary files (e.g., ncb, aps, clw, opt).

To change the caption of your button:
GetDlgItem(IDC_YOURBUTTON)->SetWindowText("Button Caption");

To set it visible/invisible:

GetDlgItem(IDC_YOURBUTTON)->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);<br />
GetDlgItem(IDC_YOURBUTTON)->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);

Hope this helps

you can do this in many ways :-
1-
use GetDlgitem function as
CButton * btn=(CButton*)GetDlgItem(IDCANCEL);
btn->ShowWindow(0);

2-use EnableWindow

CButton * btn=(CButton*)GetDlgItem(IDCANCEL);
btn->EnableWindow(false);

//use true for Enable agine

Also if I just want to Copy/Paste text from a listCtrl is it that complicated?

Complicated is a relative term. Like most anything, it's not complicated if you know how.

I have now posted a message on Tom's article (I just though that it was my compiler/linker setings which was causing the problem).

The reason for the post was to seek a reduced piece of code just to transfer from one sub-item of a listCtrl to the clipboard.

Tom's article had quite a bit of code.

Also I thought that many people must have implemented something to do this before.

To get the text value of an item/subitem, use GetItemText(). To copy to the clipboard, use SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT, ...).

Override the ExitInstance function in your Application class. You can then clean up, or do whatever else before the application terminates.

I have done that if you mean OnOK(), OnCancel() and OnClose().
Is there anyone else exit instance? and if so where?

RChin2-Nov-04 3:02

The OnOK(), OnCancel() and OnClose() functions are merly handlers for messages that gets sent when your button (I am assuming these are linked to a button) gets pressed. The previous poster mentioned creating a handler function for the WM_ENDSESSION message. This could be one possible solution to your problem.

My solution uses the fact that the WinApp::ExitInstance() function gets called whenever the user choses to exit their windows session.

Every MFC application should have a WinApp derived class, called something like MyProgApp, or something similar with the App appended to your class name.

Now this function isn't visible by default, so you need to override this function using the Classwizard (if using VS6), or the properties window (if using VS7.1).

You can then write your logging code within the function, but remember to call the base class at the end (or your app won't exit).

int CMyApp::ExitInstance() 
{
	// CLEANUP STUFF
	delete m_pVarA;
	delete m_pVarB;	
        ::CoUninitialize();

	return CWinApp::ExitInstance(); // base class
}

The system sends the message, so all you have to do is capture that message and then do your stuff.
( return FALSE after a WM_QUERYENDSESSION is received and then capture the WM_ENDSESSION and check if system is really shutting down and do your stuff before returning from this message...

Greetings,
Davy

Ok,
And where do I make that check?

Something like this will help

Mainfrm header file

protected:
  afx_msg LRESULT OnMyEndSession(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);

Mainfrm cpp file

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMainFrame, CFrameWnd)
  :
 ON_MESSAGE(WM_ENDSESSION, OnMyEndSession)
  :
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

LRESULT CMainFrame::OnMyEndSession(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) 
{
  if (lParam & ENDSESSION_LOGOFF)
  {
    :
   // We are logging off
    :
  }
  else
  {
   // We are shutting down
  }
  return 0;
}
