Problem with wndTopMost in Vista

Hi!

I have a problem with TopMost window on Windows Vista.
In Dialog's OnInitDialog method I try to set position by the following code

<br />
<br />
    int cx, cy; <br />
    HDC dc = ::GetDC(NULL); <br />
    cx = GetDeviceCaps(dc,HORZRES) + <br />
        GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXBORDER); <br />
    cy = GetDeviceCaps(dc,VERTRES) +<br />
        GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYBORDER); <br />
    ::ReleaseDC(0,dc); <br />
<br />
//Put window on top and expand it to fill screen<br />
	SetWindowPos(&wndTopMost, <br />
        -(GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXBORDER) + 2), <br />
        -(GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYBORDER) + 2), <br />
        cx+5,cy+5, 0); <br />

that works fine in XP - dialog is realy top most, but on Vista sometimes it is not - some active windows like Firefox can be above of my dialog. I can't understand where is the problem here and how can it be fixed?

hi, thanks for answer.

1. I did not get any visual errors, I've got only strange behavior of the windows on screen. I set for my window TOPMOST order, but in OS it actually appears under any current active window on the screen.

2. I use VC2005.

I found some interesting topic on this problem: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.vc.mfc/browse_thread/thread/8c9333777d461126/c5ee093565701048[^]

and develop applications for Windows XP?

I've used Windows XP SP2 Platform SDK for several months, there are some incomptible problem, like CFileDialog crashing.

I wonder if there is a more compatible one.
What about Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK?

Thanks.

Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK February 2003 Edition is the last version compatible with VC6. I cannot tell you if your problems will go away however.

Hello everyone,

I am compiling the client part program of COM reentrancy problem. Does anyone know what is the problem?

(BTW: server part program can compile, link and register ok.)

I am using MSVC 2008 + x64 Windows Server 2003. Is it because the code is old and in the newest SDK we need some code change to migrate?

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/COM/sta_issues.aspx

1>stdafx.cpp
1>d:\exercises\stareentr\stareentr\client\stdafx.h(16) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'atlapp.h': No such file or directory

1>Compiling...
1>client.cpp
1>d:\exercises\stareentr\stareentr\client\client.cpp(4) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open precompiled header file: '.\Debug/client.pch': No such file or directory

thanks in advance,
George

Hi,

It seems, problem is only in some project settings.

Check "additional include libraries", linker input etc.

Thanks,
Suman

Thanks Suman,

The value for me is, odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib comctl32.lib. But what I met with is compile error, why do you think it deals with linker options? Smile | :)

Hi,

I mainly wanted to tell it will be only project settings and not programming error.

I will tell you when I find solution.

Is there use of SetSDKPath() in ur project?

Thanks,
Suman

Thanks Suman,

I found atlapp.h belongs to WTL 8.0 and when I install the library and add the include path of WTL 8.0 to the project additional include path, the client.cpp can compile.

But for the resource file, there is still compile error,

1>.\client.rc(10) : fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'atlres.h'.

Do we need special settings for the resource file?

regards,
George

rp_suman29-Mar-08 2:13

29-Mar-08 2:13

Hi,

Try adding "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC....\WTL\include" to "Additional Include Directories" under C/C++ and Resources tab in your Project Settings dialog.

No use of SetSDKPath in the entire solution. If you want to check source the reproduce the compile error, you can simply download the source from the link I posted in the original question.

Hi, I'm having a weird crash problem when running on debug mode. Any call to getFile() causes a runtime error.

Code:
inline std::string getSource( void ) const throw() { return source; }
inline std::string getDescription( void ) const throw() { return description; }
inline std::string getSourceLibrary( void ) const throw() { return sourceLibrary; }
inline unsigned short getSourceLibraryId( void ) const throw() { return sourceLibraryId; }
inline unsigned short getExtendedErrorCode( void ) const throw() { return extendedErrorCode; }
inline SdkStatusCodesE getStatusCode( void ) const throw() { return statusCode; }
inline SdkErrorCodesE getErrorCode( void ) const throw() { return errorCode; }
inline std::string getFile( void ) const throw() { return file; }
inline unsigned int getLine( void ) const throw() { return line; }

I'm using it on a boost test suite. the code is:
// Get some status
SdkStatus status = SdkStatusFactory::createStatus("TBaseTestSuite::test2", "TBase", 25, __FILE__, __LINE__, SDK_SUCCESS, SDK_NO_ERROR, 666, "Wazabi");

// Check the values
BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(status.getDescription(), "Wazabi");
BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(status.getErrorCode(), SDK_NO_ERROR);
BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(status.getExtendedErrorCode(), 666);
BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(status.getFile(), __FILE__);
BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(status.getSource(), "TBaseTestSuite::test2");
BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(status.getSourceLibrary(), "TBase");
BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(status.getSourceLibraryId(), 25);
BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(status.getStatusCode(), SDK_SUCCESS);

The runtime error is:
unknown location(0): fatal error in "sdk_status": dbgheap.c(1279) : Assertion failed: _CrtIsValidHeapPointer(pUserData)

I'd preciate the help.

Thanks
