Hi,
I don't know what your 100 would stand for.
to undo a malloc you call free() without arguments; you can only free the entire buffer, which should be OK.
There are more specialized functions but I have never needed them at all.
You know there is such a thing as documentation that tells you all the details you may ever need...

Hello,
Is there any reason why dynamic_cast<> is turned off in my MFC projects by default?
I always get (in Debug and Release builds).
warning C4541: 'dynamic_cast' für polymorphen Typ 'CWnd' mit /GR- verwendet; unvorhersehbares Verhalten möglich
Is there any reason to not add the /GR switch?
Why is this not done by default?
The whole C-style casting with objects in the MFC code itself is really bad coding style anyway (C-style casts should not be used any more in C++)
Regards,
Niki

What about documentation [^]?
It looks like you're using Visual Studio 2003 or earlier.

Heh. I was wondering how old the Visual Studio version had to be.
I can't remember the last time RTTI wasn't enabled by default.

According to documentation [^] Visual Studio 2003 is old enough.

For determining class relations at runtime, MFC have its own mechanism called RTCI(Runtime Class Information) which is similar to RTTI in C++. You can resolve class relations by using CRuntimeClass::IsKindOf() etc.
[Edit] With respect to Pillani's reply.
So its obvious that C++ RTTI will be switch offed by default, since MFC itself is providing support. Enabling two similar stuffs at same time helps only to reduce performance.
I'm not sure, but i think that the RTCI evolved and exists together with RTTI due to historic reasons.

Jijo.

Hi,
I'm a long-time C++ programmer and relatively new in C#.
I have not been working with UI-related stuffs for a while.
Recently I had a project that is related to a GUI-based application, which requires a custom-style listview control. I found some listview controls in "the code project" that may fit to my purpose. But most of them are written in C# and it's output is a Class Library (DLL). In general, is there any way for me to use those custom listview controls written in C# in my Win32 C++ project (using Visual Studio 2005)? Or is it simply impossible? Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

I needed to run multiple instances of an MFC Application. During testing I realized that there is a limit to the number of instances I can run (sometimes 86 other 101). After reaching this limit I couldn't even run a different MFC app unless I terminated some of the running instances. Does anybody know what is the cause of this behavior? Thanks.

Surely there's a limit on system resources, When the 180th instance of my MFC test application crashes, it was probably failing CreateWindow.

The graphics library I am using provides basic window functionality, painting, moving etc, but for anything more complex it provides the HWND to each window so we can call Win32 stuff.
My Win32 knowledge is limited, how can I alter the window style using the HWND? I've done some searching but haven't found anything - probably because I'm looking for the wrong thing.
Any help would be great!

You may change the window style at runtime using SetWindowLong function [^].

Thanks,
I have made the following call:
SetWindowLong(window.getHWND(), GWL_EXSTYLE, WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE);
I also call SetWindowPos as stated in the documentation to cause the changes to appear. The window visibly changes. How would I specify that I want to remove or hide the window border and title bar? I have looked at the documentation for Window Styles and CreateWindowEx but am unsure how to achieve this.
I'm looking to achieve something similar to the result of the following .NET code:
myForm.BorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
Thanks again!
Steve

Try something similar to:
SetWindowLong(window.getHWND(), GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLong(window.getHWND(), GWL_STYLE) & ~WS_BORDER);
IF this doesn't work, try instead of WS_BORDER the other, border related styles like WS_DLGFRAME (see here[^] for window styles.)

Something like this should remove any borders, unless I missed a border style...
::SetWindowLong(window.getHWND(), GWL_STYLE, ::GetWindowLong(window.getHWND(), GWL_STYLE) & ~(WS_BORDER | WS_DLGFRAME | WS_THICKFRAME));
::SetWindowLong(window.getHWND(), GWL_EXSTYLE, ::GetWindowLong(window.getHWND(), GWL_EXSTYLE) & ~WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME);

Is it possible to make a dialog based application behave as domodal dialog when it is invoked by shellexecute???
if not, is there any alternative?

Yes. The fact that the dialog based application was invoked via ShellExecute() is irrelevant.

Hello,
It sounds crazy but how can I disable and hide my current view in my SDI app (CHtmlView) (and afterwards display it again)? [1]
I've tried SetVisible and EnableWindow but it does not work.
Background: In a modal dialog I temporarily load a different page for printing. The user should not see that there is another page loading or printing.
Regards,
Niki
[1] With hide/disable I mean e.g. that the current view is just white or even better: just frozen.
