You could also try ::GetAsyncKeyState( VK_LBUTTON );

For a custom control, I have to show / hide the focus rect in SetFocus / KillFocus, and in accordance to the "Windows painting rules" (i.e. message handlers invalidate regions, and all drawing is done in WM_PAINT) I've come up with the following solution:
a) WM_SET/KILLFOCUS creates a region that is just the focus rectangle, and invalidates it
b) WM_PAINT draws the focus rect(if necessary), then stops anything else when the remaining area is not part of the update region
Now, this sounds like a little bit of overkill here. any GDI gurus coming up with something better?

It may be simpler to set some member variable "bFocusChanged" inside the WM_SET/KILL FOCUS messages, then do an Invalidate on the control. In the WM_PAINT handler, check if the flag is set, and if so, only redraw the focus state. After this, set the bFocusChanged to FALSE. I'm not sure if this is the best way, but it will be less expensive than region testing.

I thought of that too - but this would drop any other invalidates that are either pending, or happen between the message handler and the actual WM_PAINT.

This is overkill. Just draw the control and paint a focus rect afterwards if the control has the focus. For Set/Kill focus, invalidate the whole control (without forcing a background redraw).

I am writing my own shell. Where can I get info on how to create taskbar and systray and make them work ?
I am seaching for information fro two months!
Help!
|
|

The taskbar is an example of an "App Bar". Take a look at SHAppBarMessage in the MSDN. It provides all you need to create your own.

I need a view get the size of a formview, not the form size to the view.
I know the second option is using RecalcLayout and ResizeParentToFit, and the first option how?
Thanks.

Hi
I was wondering about the desktop and settings for it. I haven't really played about with things like this before, so maybe some of you who have could point me in the right direction?
I was thinking that it would be kind of cool to have a script that runs on startup to change the desktop background randomly, based on pictures in a particular folder. Is this silly / impossible, or is it a simple concept that I should have learned at the same time as learning to semi-colon and somehow missed out on?
Thanks for any ideas / pointers in the right direction.
ps. I would like to write the script myself, rather than download an exe utility. Thanks!

This is reasonably easy to do using SystemParametersInfo(). Specifically, see SPI_SETDESKPATTERN and SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER.

Is it possible to create a hook for a MS DOS program? I wish to hook NT's net.send function that you can use under CMD (I assume it stands for command).
For those who are wondering, I wish to block out which computer sends the message. My school frowns on sending messages, and I wish for a little more impunity!
Thanks,

There is a way to hook API calls for all processes in the system. You must first write a DLL and get it loaded (possible using a global message hook) in all processes. Then, it's possible to hook functions using APIHijack, which can be found I think here on CodeProject. The function you will want to hook is called NetMessageBufferSend, located in NetApi32.dll, which is what the "net send" command uses I'm sure.

Or maybe it would be easier just to write your own program which would call NetMessageBufferSend, and pass some bogus name for the "fromname" parameter.

Cool, I didn't know about that function Works for me! Do you know what the parameter ServerName needs? An IP address? Also, what is Msgname? I assume the par. buf is the actual message.
Thanks VERY much,

Unless you want the function to execute on some other machine (which the ServerName would be the name or IP address of), you can pass NULL for the ServerName parameter. Indeed, the parameter buf is the message.

Sorry, but one last question. For the second parameter (Send To) it wants a constant unsigned short pointer. I have no idea what to do for this. I feel like I should put in a string with the computer name of which I'm sending to. Any ideas?
Thanks again,

It's a wide character string specifying either the name of the computer to send to, or the IP address of the computer to send to. So, you could do something like this to send it to IP address 127.0.0.1 (your own computer):
NetMessageBufferSend( NULL,
L"127.0.0.1",
L"Bogus FromName",
(BYTE*)L"123",
6 );
The L character in front of the strings specifies that you want the string to be a wide character string. Note that the example isn't a real world example, it's just meant to show the simplest way to do it.

Ok, first let me appologize for being stupid. I can't figure out how to get an edit box to input wide characters. Do I need to start out as a string, then convert it to wide characters?
Thanks, again I appologize for being stupid,

I edited this because it wasn't entirely accurate...
You don't have to apologize. Here's a sample of how to convert from a "TCHAR" string that the CString uses (which can be char or wchar_t), like you can get from the edit control, to a "whar_t" string, like the NetMessageBufferSend function expects:
CString a_sThisCameFromTheEditControl = "127.0.0.1";
wchar_t a_uszWillBePassedToTheFunction[128] = {0};
MultiByteToWideChar( CP_ACP, 0, a_sThisCameFromTheEditControl, -1, a_uszWillBePassedToTheFunction, sizeof( a_uszWillBePassedToTheFunction ) );
I'm not sure what will happen if you do a UNICODE build of your application though...

Very cool! It all compiles! I can't wait to try it out (I'm not on a network here at home).

How do I open a named object (memory mapping) created in a service from a user session app?
prefixing with
"Global\" ?
|
|
|
|
|
See OpenFileMapping()[^]
If you're not using Terminal Services, as the above link states, then "Global\" would be ignored.
