Re: Anyone know which file defines GET_X_LPARAM and GET_Y_LPARAM macros for WM_MOUSEMOVE?

windowsX.h

#define GET_X_LPARAM(lp) ((int)(short)LOWORD(lp))
#define GET_Y_LPARAM(lp) ((int)(short)HIWORD(lp))

on VS 2003 .NET

I've never heard of this file before... everything in the MSDN docs tells you to use windows.h, but windowsX.h?

Interesting... thanks.

I'm just the messenger Smile | :)

Only two non-MFC files include windowsX.h - dshow.h and MqMail.h

I just checked the PSDK 2003 R2 - same there as well!

Hi,

I want to use Visual Studio 2005 to stat developing in c++ again, I saw that I can create mfc apps, but was wondering how do I add a refrence so that I can use iostream.h?

I general how and where do I link to the stdard header files?

Thanks

#include <iostream>

That's all you have to do. Whatever libraries you need for standard libraries like that one will be automatically linked in any Visual Studio 2005 project.

You may find namespaces new (or new namespaces) Smile | :)

iostream stuff will be in the std namespace. If you don't want to explicitly resolve the
namespace everywhere (with the scope resolution operator) then you can add this to your
source (CPP!) files:

using namespace std;

This construct should be avoided at global scope in header files however. If you do put one in at global scope in a header file then anyone that includes your header loses some control over the namespace composition and it may make it hard from them to resolve name clashes – which is what namespaces were designed to solve.

Ack! That's what I meant - I could have sworn I put "(CPP)" in there to qualify it - that was
another post D'Oh! | :doh:

Right, and ?? What is the problem ? You get a crash, a compilation error, a blue cow coming out of your screen, ... ?

Please, be more specific and explain what the problem is.

Thank you,the problem is: when I use the debug one in my project,an error_dialog comes out the moment I change the property`s value,on the dialog:
Debug Assertion Failed!
Program:...\MSDev98\bin\MSDEV.EXE
File:afxwin2.inl
Line:171
For information...
then is three buttons: stop retry ignore
but the release one is ok.

Is it possible to draw on dialog

28-Jun-07 3:44

My email Id is shivditya@yahoo.co.in
Let me tell you thing which I am not sure.
You can not use ActiveX controls developed in debug mode.
Because it is not possible to debug activex control.
It is possible to have debug dll but not debug activex control.
Any way you can send I will try to resolve.

I am building application as secondary identification server for ATMs.
My application is fine. But just for pictorial representation I want to show
ATM line on dialog who alls thread is currently active. I am planning to
show on dialog it self. (Or I have to develop separate ActiveX for doing so,please suggest)
while showing on dialog , I am not getting crash of GetWindowRect and device context
of dialog window may not proper.It crashes at ::GetWindowRect Of groupbox in which I was planning to show the running threads.
I am not sure why crash is occuring. I am not sure devicecontext I can obtain.

Why wouldn't you use a custom window for that?

Custom window means what exactly you want to suggest.

You can draw on the dialog just like any other window.

GetDC() gets a DC to the client area of the window

GetWindowDC() gets a DC to the entire window

If you draw in response to WM_PAINT, BeginPaint()/EndPaint() can be used to acquuire a DC
or you can use the above APIs and handle the invalid region yourself.

If you draw in response to WM_ERASEBKGND, a DC is provided.

There's no threadsafe GDI - all drawing must be synchronized (and flushed) if you're using
multiple threads for drawing.

Crashes how and why?

Thats what I am also surprised how ::GetWindowRect crashes when my Id is proper, and I am passing handle which I checked with spy as proper ,Still it crashes very badly.

GetWindowRect takes an HWND not an ID. How are you calling it? Where are you calling it?
Do you have a valid HWND for the control?
