My understanding of the problem is that out of the following causes of exiting applications:
1) File | Exit menu option chosen;
2) Exit button on the title bar pressed;
3) The user or an application logs off current session;
4) The user “ends task” using Windows Task Manager;
5) The user or an application shuts down the Windows.
you need to run the routine when the application has some time to do this, namely when the standard shutting down of the application occur, namely when the 1) situation.
If this is true, you need to use standard command ID, namely the ID_APP_EXIT. If you define the OnAppExit() command handler on you class, which inherits from the CWinApp MFC’s class, that command handler should be called when 1) and should not be called when 2) - 5). That’s my understanding; you still need to test all the cases.

Yes. Have a look at the WM_QUERYENDSESSION and WM_ENDSESSION messages

No. End-tasking an application terminates it immediately. It does not tell the application about it at all.

Hi everyone I have some questions about the MFC classes CDatabase and CRecordset.
How can I use connection pooling with the CDatabase? Do I have to use the ODBC API, and if so which environment handle should I use? (The Cdatabase class doesn’t’ provide one and I think that the ODBC API function SQLSetEnvAttr requires one). The point is that I create a CORBA object to which constructor I pass as an argument the address of the CDatabase object. Because of the multiple concurrent instances of the object I don’t know if one database connection (CDatabase) can be shared and used simultaneous, or will I need multiple CDtabase objects.
I also want to change mode (for CRecordset class) from optimistic to pessimistic (SetLockingMode operation). The function accept as an argument a UINT value and I don’t know which value 0 or 1 I think corresponds to optimistic and which to pessimistic.

Use ADO. I create a new connection for each new thread by mapping the thread it to the connection and add to the map when a find fails..

For the MFC appwizard generated CDialog can someone tell me the RGB Value for the Dialog Window ?
|
|
|
|
|
The dialog color can change depending on how the end-user has their system colors configured. The best way to get the current color is to call the GetSysColor Win32 API. It returns a COLORREF type which is the RGB values in a DWORD.
COLORREF crDlgBg = ::GetSysColor(COLOR_WINDOW);

For a dialog you want COLOR_3DFACE

Use the CStatic control. If you need to be able to modify the text from within your code be sure to change the ID to anything but IDC_STATIC. Create a control variable and change the text with the SetWindowText member function.

Hi,
What is the easy way to convert my SDI MFC program to a dialog based MFC Application?
Thanks,

Create a dialog-based application, and copy over the relevant files.

I was going to post, "Start Over", but that would be cruel. However, that's most likely what you should be doing. Start a brand new dialog based application side by side with your SDI one. Then you will have to cut'n paste from the SDI classes, MainFrame/Document/View, the stuff you need to put into the Dialog class. But be careful, cause there is a whole lot of functionality that won't be coming across too well. Things like printing, file handling just don't fit the dialog based app model. Good Luck.

Hi,
I created a simple MFC dialog application and added a custom interface to the application via the wizard. I also included the typelib in the .rc file. This all seems to be rather easy, but when I try to query the interface of the COM object in a client application, the hresult is 0x80004002.
I registered the application and when I lookup the the coclass and typelib in the OLE/COM object Viewer, I can find both of them but the interface I cannot find. So it seems the interface is not registered (I also cannot find the IID in the registry).
Is the interface not always automatically registered when the typelib is registered? The application does not seem to have a proxy/stub makefile, so I also can not nmake that and register it.
Any one know what the cause of this problem is?

I am trying to implement a Paste function that will read data from excel and paste it to another spread sheet type container. I don't need detailed data for this program; the CF_TEXT format would suit my needs fine. However, when using IsDataAvailable(CF_TEXT), this returns TRUE whether there is data there or not. I would like to be able to verify that excel has put data on the clipboard before trying to process the data.
I have registered and tried to get "XlTable" format data from the clipboard, but IsDataAvailable returns false when passing this format as a parameter -- even when I have just used excel to copy to the clipboard.  Can anyone give me some idea as to a format that excel uses to put data to the clipboard? This would be greatly appreciated.

OK so here's my current situation.
I have a program that I put in the shared network drive. People are using this program a lot, so upgrading is a bit pain in the neck. First I have to rename the exe, copy the new exe, then find all the active instances of the program and close them, then delete it. Works great until couple weeks ago where I thought I close every active instance and I still couldn't delete it. Had to ask admin guy to delete it.
So I decide to go with slightly more clever way: get a timer to periodically check the exe version.
Suppose I have a.exe, and I rename a.exe to a.exe.bak and put a.exe with newer version in. If somebody still have the instance of a.exe.bak running, it will check a.exe for newer version, and will close that instance.
Great in theory, but it doesnt happen! For some reason the code to check the version using GetVersionInfo("a.exe"...) always return the old version even if the old a.exe has been renamed to a.exe.bak and a.exe that has higher version is put in the same directory. I suspect this is because the code still thinks the handle to open the old a.exe is still open or something. Any help?
Thanks a bunch!

So is your question about GetVersionInfo() returning the correct value, or how to copy over a potentially in-use file?

My question is how to use GetVersionInfo() to return the correct value.

I use the following in a application.. It seems to work fine for pulling the version info..
CString CMainFrame::GetVerInfo(CString strFile)
{
DWORD size = GetFileVersionInfoSize(strFile.LockBuffer(),0);
strFile.UnlockBuffer();
if(size > 0)
{
CString results;
char *pData = new char[size];
if(GetFileVersionInfo(strFile.LockBuffer(), 0, size, pData))
{
strFile.UnlockBuffer();
VS_FIXEDFILEINFO* lpvi;
UINT iLen;
if(VerQueryValue(pData,"\\", (void **)&lpvi, &iLen))
{
results.Format("%u.%u.%u.%u",HIWORD(lpvi->dwFileVersionMS),
LOWORD(lpvi->dwFileVersionMS),
HIWORD(lpvi->dwFileVersionLS),
LOWORD(lpvi->dwFileVersionLS));
}
}
delete[] pData;
return results;
}
else
return "Unknown";
}

BOOL CVersionDlg::OnInitDialog()

SetTimer(1, 5000, NULL);
return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
}
void CVersionDlg::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)

CString strFile = "E:\\MyProjects\\version\\Debug\\version.exe";
DWORD size = GetFileVersionInfoSize(strFile.LockBuffer(),0);
strFile.UnlockBuffer();
if(size > 0)
{
CString results;
char *pData = new char[size];
// GET THE FILE VERSION AND STORE IT IN pData
if(GetFileVersionInfo(strFile.LockBuffer(), 0, size, pData))

}
}
delete[] pData;
}
CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}
Make 2 version.exe, put one with version 1.0.0.1 (version1.exe) and the other one 1.0.0.5 (version5.exe).
Copy version1.exe to version.exe.
Run version.exe. A dialog should pop up 1.0.0.1 every 5 seconds.
Rename version.exe to version.bak. The dialog should cease popping up.
Copy version5.exe to version.exe. The dialog will pop up again still with 10.0.0.1 (while it should be 10.0.0.5).
So still no solution

I'm assuming that version.exe is not the name of the program that this code is in right?
If it is, I didn't think you could rename the exe while it was running..
If not, not sure why it's not working, strange.. Is your file name/path defined in the timer like the code above or are you actually putting the file name/path in a member variable?
