Hi,
since I'm not vey dedicated to GUI programming and it is in some cases necessary, I was seeking the way to make GUI in my applications faster, which I was writting directly through API, but not to use any RAD tool.
I started to learn MFC which is very (not to say hard  ) opaque to me, maybe because I used to do programming in API directly or something else.
Friend of mine, suggested me to use WTL to make GUI faster, which is (in his opinion, I don have one yet ) much better in any aspect regarding MFC.
So, I've downloaded WTL 7.0 from MS site, but not to count add-in wizard in VC I don't know where to start from, for learning to do programming using this library. I've found one .chm file on this subject but it was corrupted, and nothing else.
So my question is, can anyone help to get start, firstly by informing me where can I find some good free documentation on this subject and a good tutorial to understand better WTL and to begin my programming very soon independantly.
Thanks.

I want to access the data files in the same dir as DLL,so I need the pat name of the DLL. I use following:
GetModuleFileName(m_hInst,pszDLLpath_buffer,_MAX_DIR);
and it seems not work. 
|
|
|
|
|
place the DLL in Winnt/system32 and use this path
|
|
|
|
|
Anyone has some doc/sample about this?
Thanks!

I'm new to ATL and struggling. Forgive me if this is a really dumb question!
I've managed to put together a simple WTL/ATL app, hosting an ActiveX and picking up enents back from the ActiveX.
But now I want to write some text to the StatusBar. OK, I can do that (using a multi-pane status control as per Ed Gadziemski's excellent article), from within the Main Window.
But I want to write to it from the Child Window. Only I cannot find any method of the child window which will give me a pointer back to the main window and hence to the Status Control.
See, I said it was dumb! Thanks for any guidance.

This might not be the "correct" way of doing it, but this is how I have always done it. When I create an instance of my child windows, I pass a pointer of the main window to them. Then I just store that pointer for later use. It might not be "clean", but it gets the job done very simply and easy to understand.

I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Thanks - I was beginning to think along those lines, but thought there might be some 'intrinisic' way of doing it.

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something obvious, but can't CWindow::GetParent do the job?

That can certainly get me an HWND, but then I get lost. I cannot see how to then get a pointer to the window, or get access to the StatusBar via the HWND.
Thank
Tony

In stdafx.h, replace
extern CAppModule _Module; with
template <typename TWnd>
class CMainWindowedAppModule : public CAppModule {
TWnd* m_pWnd;
public:
void SetMainWindow(TWnd* pWnd) {
m_pWnd = pWnd;
}
TWnd* GetMainWindow() {
return m_pWnd;
}
};
extern CMainWindowedAppModule <class CMainFrame> _Module;
And in <YourAppNameHere>.cpp, replace
CAppModule _Module; with
CMainWindowedAppModule <class CMainFrame> _Module;
and don't forget to call SetMainWindow() in Run() before entering the message loop.
Nice and simple if HWND isn't enough. Plus, you can stick other stuff into that class too if you want/need.

Hehe.. Or you can just make a global variable and be done with it.

That would be too easy. Remember, I'm a programmer. I love complexity.

It's all right Tim - I've got a colleague who suggested just the same thing. He ran away too, just before my copy of "ATL Internals" hit the wall where he had been standing!

he he. Cool. I do something similar using the following class:
class CMainFrame;
class CParentFrame
{
private:
CMainFrame* m_pMainFrame;
public:
CParentFrame() : m_pMainFrame(NULL)
{
}
CMainFrame* GetMainFrame() const { ATLASSERT(m_pMainFrame != NULL); return m_pMainFrame; }
void SetMainFrame(CMainFrame* pFrame) { m_pMainFrame = pFrame; }
}
I then derive each view from CParentFrame, remembering to call the "SetMainFrame" function when I create the view. The view can then call GetMainFrame()->Blah(), etc.
When I am king, you will be first against the wall.

Here's one technique to update the status bar from a child window. It only supports the first pane, though.
HWND hWnd = ::GetDlgItem(GetParent(), ATL_IDW_STATUS_BAR);<br />
CStatusBarCtrl sb = hWnd;<br />
sb.SetWindowText(_T("My status bar text"));
Note that GetDlgItem obtains the handle of any child window as long as the child was created with a defined ID such as ATL_IDW_STATUS_BAR. Default WTL IDs are defined in atlres.h.

If I have a vector:
std::vector<CMyClass>m_vMyVector;
And in a function I do:
foo()
{
CMyClass obj;
m_vMyVector.push_back(obj);
}
When obj goes out of scope, will a copy still live in m_vMyVector?

When building some ATL projects that we're upgraded to version 7.0 of the Visual C++ compiler; the post build regsvr32 step always fails. I have tracked this down to the binary not being created before regsvr32 is called.
In the post build step we have
regsvr32 /s /c "$(TargetPath)"
Has anybody seen this? If so how did you fix it. Thanks in advance.
