In the below code snippet, why do we use '&' ? Is it because we're passing the reference of the member function?

C++

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMFCListViewDoc, CDocument)
   ON_COMMAND(ID_MYCOMMAND, &CMFCListViewDoc::OnMycommand) // why do we use '&'
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

Excuse me for this question. It's like I know and I don't know too Smile | :)

&CMFCListViewDoc::OnMycommand is a pointer to the member function.

There's only about a couple dozen different ways to do that, depending on the application type you're writing and the context in which you're getting this input.

Without a lot more detail about what you're doing, anything anyone replies with will be just guess work that will probably not work in your situation.

How to hide or show button from another class MFC vc++

You could start from

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  int i;
  for (;;)
  {
    printf("please enter a positive integer\n");
    if ( scanf("%d", &i) == 1 && i > 0 ) break;
  }
  printf("you entered %d, a good one\n", i);
  return 0;
}

and then find a better way...

Re: How to hide or show button from another class MFC vc++

How can I access controls of one class from another class.
Example, Initially the button is hidden. I tried to make it visible from another class by doing like this

C++

GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON)->ShowWindow(TRUE);

inside a function.

But this doesn't seem to work. How can I make it visible from another class.

Thanks in advance.

What exactly "doesn't seem to work"?
Could you show your code?

There are two button in Dialog 1.

C++

BOOL CMyFirstDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialogEx::OnInitDialog();
GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON)->ShowWindow(FALSE);

ShowWindow(SW_MINIMIZE);


return TRUE;  
}

When I click one button i want to make the other button visible again.

C++

void CMyFirstDlg::OnBnClickedButton()
{
  CSecondDlg* Obj = new CSecondDlg();
  Obj->DisplayButton();
}

Inside the DisplayButton function which is in another class there is

C++

GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON)->ShowWindow(TRUE);

You created the object of CSecondDlg class but you have not created the window of this dialog!

Your question should probably be something like, "How can I access controls on one dialog from a separate dialog?" While it is not a good idea to do so directly (see "loose coupling"), a better way would be to send a message to the parent (the one that owns the control) dialog.

Creating separate class for database connection MFC vc++

30-Sep-19 18:58

Thank you for the pointing me to the right direction. Smile | :)

I'll read about "loose coupling" and to be honest I don't really get how to send message as of now, so I'll read about that too.

I've solve my problem in a naive way for now but i'll definitely follow your suggestions.

Thanks again.

Re: Creating separate class for database connection MFC vc++

26-Sep-19 18:59

I have created a simple dialog application where it can perform crud operations but how I did it was I open a connection an do some operations inside most of the buttons as I'm still starting out as a beginner(noob).

What will be a good approach to separate all the database related operations in another class? or keeping as it is, is it a good practice?

I would like some suggestions.

Thank you.

I did something similar here. It may not be exactly what you are after, but it does give you another perspective, which could ultimately get you to your goal.

cannot change rgrc0 with wm_nccalcsize

we want to decrease right of non client area in edit control and draw edge in that but wparam in nccalcsize return 1 only not 0 and lparam no give us rgrc0 or rgrc1 value to change it , if somebody try this please tell me its way and show the pictures to do like this

case win.WM_NCCALCSIZE:

if wParam > 0
{ params := (*win.NCCALCSIZE_PARAMS)(unsafe.Pointer(lParam))

params.Rgrc[0].Top=params.Rgrc[2].Top params.Rgrc[0].Left = params.Rgrc[0].Left + 1
params.Rgrc[0].Bottom=params.Rgrc[0].Bottom-1
params.Rgrc[0].Right=params.Rgrc[0].Right-10

wm_nccalcsize Sent when use swp_framechanged in SetWindowPos ( Draw New Style )

i want to decrease the right of client rect to use drawEge in that space was made

Victor Nijegorodov26-Sep-19 9:08

26-Sep-19 9:08

We already know from OP what you want to decrease...
However, we don't know how you are doing it. Richard MacCutchan asked you to post the code related to your problem, but you only have posted some irrelevant lines of your code. Unsure | :~

So sorry!

You imagine a window has Edit control i have to draw rectanle or Edge inside non client area of Edit Control so i have to decrease the width of clint area of edit i think and draw rectangle or Button Shape ( with drawedge api ) between windowrect.right and clientrect.right
