Re: Stopping a Mouse Click from changing keyboard focus

Maybe you should send a WM_SETCAPTURE to the window which has the focus.

WM_ACTIVATE should do it, however ... a window "losing the focus" receives a WM_ACTIVATE with a WA_INACTIVE parameter... A silly question maybe, but are you sure your hook is global ? have you compiled it in the right area using #pragmas ?

Heh... Not silly... Because I don't know what a #pragma is Smile | :)

I just thought that you had to send SetWindowsHookEx 0 as the last parameter to make it global... So what is this #pragma stuff ?

Oh .. and a #pragma is a compiler command, mainly to set up a lot of things at compilation time (disabling warnings, choosing memory location for putting your variables, stuff liek that)...

One solution is via registry. Search the registry for the key that holds the system internet IP.

What do you mean exactly with "Load" ?

Look at the CxImage article here on CP (make a search), it should have all the features you need.

Ok, this is kinda intense, but if anyone could help me out, i'd greatly appreciate it. My main problem is that all my integer values for my CEdit boxes are coming up as -858993460. i know whats the default value for an int, but it shouldnt be coming up like that.

Here's whats going on:
i have CPropertySheet class, CMySheet containing 5 CPropertyPage (CPage1 - CPage5) thingies. I have m_page1 - m_page5 defined as CMySheet things. I have m_sh defined as a CMySheet thing in MyProgView.h. now, when i want to get data into an edit box on page1, say its variable name is my_edit, and its an int, then in the constructor for CMyProgView::CMyProgView, i put

CPropsView::CPropsView() : m_sh("")<br />
{<br />
m_sh.m_page1.my_edit= 0;<br />
}

this makes the number 0 show up in the edit boxes. This works fine. However, i'm having trouble with another section. On page4, i have a list of radio buttons. When a user clicks on a button, a new dialog window pops up with some edit boxes.

the dialog boxes are from base class CDialog, they aren't defined as antyhing to do with my CPropertypage or CPropertysheet. I have one dialog box class names New_dialog_box.

Now, here's how i set it up.
in one cpp file, i have the domodal of the dialog box...

<br />
void CPage4::OnBnClickedRadio10()<br />
{<br />
	New_dialog_box dlg;<br />
	dlg.DoModal();<br />
}

I have a variable defined in New_dialog_box as an integer, its named new_dialog_edit.

Now, back in MyProgVew.h, i tried putting in the constructor of CMyPropgView the line:

m_new_dialog_box.new_dialog_edit = 0;

I declared m_new_dialog_box in

class CPropsView : public CView<br />
{<br />
private:

the exact same spot as m_sh;

I've added m_new_dialog_box(0) to the top of the constructos in MyProgView.cpp, right next to m_sh("").

When i launch the program, go to page4, click on the radio button, the value of new_dialog_edit is teh default value for an integer, -858993460. But, i've set it = 0 in the CMyProgView constructor, just like i did in all the other proeperty pages.

I've been working on this for hours, and i'm really stumped. any help would be hugely appreciated.

I'm not sure if I understand your problem very well, but why don't you initialise new_dialog_edit in the constructor of the New_dialog_box class ????
If I understood what you wrote, you have a New_dialog_box variable that is called m_new_dialog_box in your CPropsView but that is never used just in the constructor?? Instead of that, you declare a new instance of New_dialog_box (called dlg) in void CPage4::OnBnClickedRadio10() ??

I don't really understand what you want to do ??? Eek! | :eek:

The instance of New_dialog_box that you have in MyProgView.cpp is not the same one that is instantiated in CPage4::OnBnClickedRadio10().

That won't work, I'm even surprised it did not crash, since you obviously try to change values of a CDialog which has still no handle.But anyway, what you should do is set up the edit boxes to 0 in the OnInitDialog function of your dialog class, that is in New_dialog_box::OnInitDialog()

i put m_new_dialog_box.new_dialog_edit = 0;

in my onInitDialog for New_dialog_box, but it says that m_new_dialog_box is an undeclared itdentifier. i can't put it in

class New_dialog_box: public CDialog<br />
{<br />
	DECLARE_DYNAMIC(New_dialog_box)<br />
<br />
public:<br />
New_dialog_box m_new_dialog_box

if i cant put it there, where else am i going to put it?

THanks for all your responses. Smile | :)

What do you want to do there ?? You cannot declare a class within itself !

Just declare a new_dialog_edit variable like this:

class New_dialog_box: public CDialog<br />
{<br />
<br />
public:<br />
int new_dialog_edit;<br />

Then initialize it at 0 in the constructor:

New_dialog_box::New_dialog_box()<br />
{<br />
new_dialog_edit = 0;<br />

holy cow, that works.

Basically, i was getting confused because i was dealing with PreopertySheets in my first case, and normal dialog boxes in the second. I was using m_sh to do something that i don't need to do with just a normal dialog box.

I knew it was something simple, and now i understand what i was doing incorreclty.

thanks Smile | :)

I would like some assistance in writting a program that draws a shape in the screen by reading the coordinates of the shape (from a comma delimited ascii file). For example it must read the coordinates of a straight line and automaticaly plot the given line i,e the coordinates 0,0 1,1 2,2 3,3 4,4 should result in a straight line. I'm using ms visual c++ version 6.0
The progoram is coded using the doc/view architecture.

The MFC sample app Scribble does something very similar to what you are trying to do (though, not from a CSV). It might be worth a look.

There are a couple of ways. One is to detect when a modem dials, but that only works for dial-up connections. For LAN connections, you can try to connect to a remote system, eg. Ping a server that you know exists. It you can get to the server, then the internet connection is active. If you can't it doesn't necessarily mean that the connection is not active - the server might be down, so you have to ping a few servers, such as microsoft, google, yahoo, msn etc. If all of them don't work, then you can reasonably assume that the internet connection is not working. If one of them works, then the connection is definitely working.

Hope this helps,

Ryan

Here's one way:

bool canConnectTo (LPCTSTR url)
{
  DWORD flags = 0;
  if (InternetGetConnectedState (&flags,0))  {
     if (InternetCheckConnection(url, FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION, 0))
        return true;
     return (false);
  }
  return (false);
}

Sample usage:

  if (canConnectTo (_T("http://www.google.com")) &&
      canConnectTo (_T("http://www.yahoo.com"))){
      // internet connection present
  }
}
