A MultiColumn ListBox doesn't give that functionality - you want a ListView instead. To add text to a ListView in the way you want, use something like:
LVCOLUMN col = {0};
SendDlgItemMessage(IDC_LIST2, LVM_INSERTCOLUMN, 0, (LPARAM)&col);
col.iSubItem = 1;
SendDlgItemMessage(IDC_LIST2, LVM_INSERTCOLUMN, 1, (LPARAM)&col);
LVITEM item = {0};
item.mask = LVIF_TEXT;
item.iSubItem = 0;
item.pszText = "Hi";
int itemIndex = (int)SendDlgItemMessage(IDC_LIST2, LVM_INSERTITEM, 0, (LPARAM)&item);
item.iSubItem = 1;
item.pszText = "All";
SendDlgItemMessage(IDC_LIST2, LVM_SETITEMTEXT, itemIndex, (LPARAM)&item);
SendDlgItemMessage(IDC_LIST2, LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 0, LVSCW_AUTOSIZE);
SendDlgItemMessage(IDC_LIST2, LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 1, LVSCW_AUTOSIZE);

Hi All,
I use AllocSysString like this
1) - CString myStr="ABCD";
int i=SomeFunction(myStr.AllocSysString());
Later in the code I free the memory as SysFreeString(_com_util::ConversStringToBSTR(myStr));
After using a memory profiling tool now, I don't get a mem. leak in this manner.
Is this the correct approach or should I use
2) - CString myStr="ABCD";
BSTR myStrBSTR=myStr.AllocSysString();
int i=SomeFunction(myStrBSTR);
and then use SysFreeString. While googling I found out the use of CComBSTR.
Can someone here tell me if I am using the right approach or should I use the second one, or use CComBSTR that manages allocation/deallocation by itself.

This approach will definitely cause memory leak, instead use CComBSTR.
CString str(_T("Some Value");
CComBSTR bsStr(str.AllocSysString());
int i=SomeFunction(bsStr);
or Use CComBSTR.
CComBSTR bsStr(_T("Some Value"));
int i=SomeFunction(bsStr);
Here, you dont need to worry about memory leak, CComBSTR will take care of those.

Hello,
What's the difference between these?
CComBSTR a[256]; //note: square brackets
CComBSTR b(256); //note: parenthesis
|

Like2Byte wrote: CComBSTR a[256]; //note: square brackets
It is array of CComBSTR. 256 elements.
Like2Byte wrote: CComBSTR b(256); //note: parenthesis
It is a single CComBSTR object, initialized to initial character size of 256.

Thanks, Prasad!
That makes things clearer for me.

Hi.
The application I coded is ATL/WTL windows app, now everything is fine in debug, when I compile it in release it compiles with no errors, however strings for label and other controls are cut off, it shows like only the first letter or nothing.
I get the strings from string table in the local resource, and it works fine in debug mode, I also checked the encoding and it is MBCS defined in both release and debug versions.
What can cause this behavior?
Thanks.

Check if you have missed any setting.
Have a look at difference betn debug and release[^] for possible cause. Though this article may not be very useful in this context, but may be you get some idea.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks, but nothing to help me there, as it pertains mainly to MFC programming. I think I will have to go through Michael Dunn's article about string encodings, hope to find something useful there.
Thanks.

It's likely that you've not initialised a variable - when I've had Release/Debug issues, that's what it's usually been.
I always make sure that I include Debug information in Release builds - that way I can use the debugger with Release builds reasonably meaningfully - as long as you keep optimisations turned on and you use the Release version of the C run-time, you've still got a Release build.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks, I'll give it a try. I am not sure about having debug info in the release build, but I will use it at least for the sake of finding out what the problem is.
Thank you.

Some more info - the debug info will be held separately (in a PDB file), so there is a) no symbol information exposed in the EXE, and b) little change in size in the EXE.

Hi all!
I'm relatively new to templates and am rapidly learning.. However VC 2005 is giving me fits on type checking STL vs. my old VC 6 compiler.
I have a vector defined: std::vector<char> _iBuff;
With what I want to do, I need access to _iBuff.begin() but if I for example say:
char *b = _iBuff.begin();
I get:
error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'std::_Vector_iterator<_Ty,_Alloc>' to 'char'
with
[
_Ty=char,
_Alloc=std::allocator<char>
]
No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called
What am I doing wrong? .begin() should return a (char *), or at least I think it should.
Thanks in advance!

An iterator is not a pointer to an element. VC6 let you do that, but it was always wrong to use iterators that way. Do this:
char* b = &_iBuff.front();
|
|
|
|
|
Mike,
Thanks a million, that did the trick. I should have looked deeper into <vector>, once I looked at the function for .front() it made sense...
Again, my thanks!
|
|
|
|
|
Or do this:
char* b = &(*_iBuff.begin()); as Mike's suggestion to use front() isn't always applicable (such as when you're dealing with an arbitrary iterator).

Hi everybody. Can somebody please help me with this?
I have a dialog that I use embedded in the tab control, that is on the main dialog. I want to send a user defined message (or is there a better way?) to notify the parent dialog to hide-show itself. How do I go about this?
Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
You send a user defined message using SendMessage() or PostMessage(). You define a message using #define.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks, I know that. But the parent dialog does not intercept the message, as I have REFLECT_NOTIFICATIONS defined, so it doesn't work.
|
|
|
|
|
Why don't you get rid of REFLECT_NOTIFICATIONS?
|
|
|
|
|
I can not, because I am using a derived class to embed my dialog class into the tab control, so I need to reflect the messages.
Thanks.
|
|

Define a message ID in the WM_APP range, like this:
#define UWM_SHOW_HIDE_MAIN_WINDOW WM_APP Then in your child dialog:
GetTopLevelParent().SendMessage(WM_APP, show_or_hide_flag); Or you could break it into two messages, one for showing and one for hiding. Handle UWM_SHOW_HIDE_MAIN_WINDOW in your main dialog's message map and show/hide the window accordingly.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks Mike,
you are as helpful as always. I ran through all of your articles about WTL, but couldn't figure this GetTopLevelParent() out. Thank again.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm using VC 2005, and WTL 7.5. And I cannot for the life of me get intellisense to work with the WTL classes. Has anyone had any luck with this?
Cheers,
- Dan

It's rather a glib answer - but use Visual Assist[^] - it's a bit pricey, but to be honest, I don't use Visual Studio without it.
