Is there an OnActivate handler that might be getting called which is resetting the controls?
What message handlers have been implemented for the dialog?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Richard,
Thanks for the reply. I checked my code and I do not have any OnActivate handlers.
Thanks.

I have a bizarre problem with a dialog. I created a dialog to move items between two lists. The left list box has the pool of possible items that are unused on the left and the items being used on the right. In between the two are a bunch of buttons to move selected items left or right, or move the entire list from one box to the other.
The boxes are defined as:
CListBox m_lstLeft;
CListBox m_lstRight;
In the .RC file the boxes are defined as follows:
LISTBOX IDC_LSEL_LSTLEFT,7,25,115,186,LBS_MULTIPLESEL | LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP
LISTBOX IDC_LSEL_LSTRIGHT,178,25,115,186,LBS_MULTIPLESEL | LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP
The code for loading and handling the boxes is the same with just the names of the boxes changed. For example the move right button handling code extracts an item from the left box and puts in the the right and the move left button does the opposite.
Moving an item from the left box to the right works as expected. The code to get the item from the left box is:
CArray<int,int> aryListBoxSel;
aryListBoxSel.SetSize(nCount);
m_lstLeft.GetSelItems(nCount, aryListBoxSel.GetData());
for(i=0; i<nCount; i++)
{
idx = aryListBoxSel.GetAt(i);
val = (float)m_lstLeft.GetItemData(idx);
}
If idx 2, the third item in the list ends up in val as expected.
However, moving from right to left, using a mirror image of the same code:
idx = aryListBoxSel.GetAt(i);
val = (float)m_lstRight.GetItemData(idx);
val is always the last item in the list, no matter what idx is.
I compared the code and everything is a mirror image of the other. The two lists are defined the same way, loaded the same way, and accessed the same way.
What could possibly be wrong? As far as I can tell, I am setting up two identical list boxes and getting two different results.

I have edited your question so all the information is visble. In future please use <pre> tags around code blocks.

Thank you. I was just going to post a message that he should do that.

If you always get the same data value regardless of the index, all items may have the same data value. So check the code portions that set the item data of the right list box.

Sorry about the formatting, it was the first time I posted anything with code here.
The value is not always the same, it's whatever is last on the list. If the right list has the following strings:
"1"
"2"
"4"
"7"
"10"
"11"
Selecting "2" and clicking on the move left button will get the "11" and it will be moved to the left. If you then select the "2" again (or anything else on the list) and click on the move left button, the "10" will be selected and moved.
What gets selected is whatever is last on the list. The code for moving from the left box to the right is identical except for the control name and selecting the "2" would actually fetch the "2" from index 1 and move it.
The index fetched in both cases is correct. What isn't working is the code that gets the value for the index.
I'm completely baffled. The two are coded the same.

Why are you casting string values to floats in your code? You should use your debugger to step through the code and see exactly what values are being stored in your array (and why is it declared with two int fields?), and how they are matching the items in the lists.
|

SetItemData allows you to associate a 32 bit value with the index and GetitemData retrieves that data. When I do the AddString to put the strings in the list box, if successful I load a float value associated with the string with SetItemData. When retrieved it has to be cast back to float because GetItemData returns a DWORD.
In this particular dialog the data is stored as a float, but is always an integer. The program does this because the same data space can be used for float values too, but if you're in this dialog, the data will always be integers stored as floats.

You may debug your application and inspect all list items (index, string, value); optionally also using TRACE statements.
But you should also show the code used to add items to the right list box because the source may be there (I guess that it is empty upon program start).
When the list box has sorting enabled, the order of items shown on screen does not correspond to the indexes. So when adding an item, it should look like:
int ndx = m_lstRight.AddString(strItem);
m_lstRight.SetItemData(ndx, val);
|

The box isn't sorted, but that's how I assign data to the list box:
int idx;
idx = m_lstRight.AddString(szStr);
if(idx = LB_ERR)
{
m_lstRight.SetItemData(idx, (DWORD)val);
}
I looked at the data being assigned to the list box and everything was fine. I haven't figured out how to look at the data in a CListBox. I put a watch on it, but I didn't see where the data was stored when I inspected the control.

That will set idx to LB_ERR. I don't know what happens with the SetItemData call then but there are two options: It will fail or set the value of the last item in the list.
It should be:
if(idx != LB_ERR)
{
m_lstRight.SetItemData(idx, (DWORD)val);
}
When SetItemData fails when passing LB_ERR (which is most probable), you can remove the if condition.
[EDIT]
Just a tip for such conditions: Exchange the expressions.
If you would have used
if(LB_ERR = idx)
you would have got a compiler error and noticed your fault.

That's the problem! For some reason when setting the left box, the exclamation point was in there, but it was missing from the setting of the right box. That usually flags an warning on compile. I wonder why it wasn't.
It appears SetItemData is doing something though. The value returned with GetItemData is always the last value on the list. The list redraws after a move, so all the items were probably getting set to the last value for some reason I don't understand.
It works now.
I think I need glasses...
Thanks!

Fine to hear that the problem is solved.
If you use the tip from my edited previous post you will avoid such errors in the future. I'm using that since some years and it probably saved me a lot of time.
According to your description it seems that SetItemData is setting the value of the last item when passing LB_ERR (like with other list box function when passing -1).

It is a valid expression in C++, but newer versions of the compiler do, I think, give a warning about it.

What I'm looking for is the basic equivalent of the following functions
pair<Blob, Blob> GenerateKeyPair();
void Encrypt(Blob & data, Blob key);
void Decrypt(Blob & data, Blob otherkey);
Expectations: Free for commercial use, source code or static library, quality algorithm, quality code, no babbling about prime numbers and padding and Bob's love live in the documentation. Ideally doesn't pull in a massive project that takes an hour to configure and build.
Doesn't need to be blindingly fast, doesn't need to thwart the NSA or the credit card mafia.
I've looked at Crypto++ as most likely candidate, but it's still not exactly lazy dev friendly.
(I tried to post in quick answers, but it wouldn't let me. Maybe there's now half a dozen duplicate questions in you database, Chris!)

How to communicate between two different app using Send Message API?
Ex:
APP1 having textbox txtBox1
APP2 having textbox txtBox2
In txtbox1 whats ever we type, that needs to be displayed in textbox2.
How to achieve it using SendMessage() API.
Ex code in VC++ is appreciated.

Thanks for your help.
I am facing issue in extracting the message.
Code is as follows...
APP1:
int WM_MYMSG = RegisterWindowMessage (L"MYMESSAGE");
HWND hw = FindWindow(NULL, L"Demo");
LPCTSTR strMsg = L"ClientDemo1";
::SendMessage(hw, WM_MYMSG, NULL, (LPARAM(LPCTSTR)strMsg);
APP2:
LRESULT CDemoDlg::OnMyMsg(WPARAM w, LPARAM l) {
MSG* p = (MSG*)l;
LPCTSTR str = (LPCTSTR)p->message;
MessageBox(str);
return (LRESULT) 0;
}
Please let me know what changes is needed here by which it'll display "ClientDemo1" in msgbox.

The LPARAM in your sending application is a Unicode string, so why are you casting it to a MSG pointer in the receiving app?
