Hi,
For days now I've been trying to make my gui happen - and it's just not. Please help if you can!
I have what is essentially a floating tool palette (just as you'd see in Photoshop etc). The palette contains a series of tabs which hold various controls, all implemented as a CPropertySheet with CPropertyPages attached. This works fine except that I have to make it a TopMost window for it to act like a palette - but this sucks! Every time I open a dialog, the dialog sits beneath the palette, unless I switch of the palette's TopMost status, but then it disappears behind the main window! And when I select a different application (eg Visual Studio) my palette even sits above this.
I can't believe it's this painful to manage a little old floating palette. Someone suggested using a CDialogBar to contain the palette but how do I add the CPropertySheet to the CDialogBar? Is it even possible?
Any advice would be so, so appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Simon

Peter,
This was exactly what I was looking for - I just didn't know it at the time. Thanks so much for your help.

I have a program (C) where I am reading the data from file. For some reason it is not reading the all rows in file. Is some limitation exists? What should I look for in order to fix this problem?
while (!feof(stream))
{...}

A few questions first.
1. Is it intermittently(sp?) missing data or only at certain points in the file?
2. What functions are you using to read from the file?
3. Is your buffer that you are reading into large enough?
4. Have you tried debug code to output what gets read in to the screen or debug window so that you can verify the data being read in?
5. If you are just using C functions to read have you thought about using the Win32 API functions?

I am trying to develop Console based application with Modless Dialog box.
This application has many class which does different operations like sending messages,
getting messages and various update process which I have to display on the modless dialog box.
I have created console based project with MFC support using App Wizard. Also able to create modless dialog
CModlessDlg *pDlg = new CModlessDlg;
pDlg->Create(IDD_DIALOG_MODLESS);
pDlg->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
..
call ClassA which gets messages and updates modless dlg on how many messges were received
call ClassB which sends messages and updates modless dlg on how many messges were sent
..
delete pDlg;
PROBLEM: I have to update this modless dialog box with how many messages recieved, how many messages sent etc from different class.
I tried GetDlgItem, GetDlgCtrlID in ClassA, ClassB but I am unsuccessfull and I am unable to get the handle of ModlessDlg and access its variable to update.
I think I am not using it in right way!!!
What is the best way do it?
As my application is console based unlike dialog based.
what extra plumbing is required to update the modless dlg ?
If anyone knows a better approach (other than modless) do let me know.
Thanks for all your help.

One option to look at would be to add custom message handler(s) to your dialog class, then use PostMessage to communicate with it.
All your classes then need to know about the dialog is its HWND [edit - and, of course, the new message #defines]. Let the dlg class itself update the controls based on the messages lParam and wParam.

Thanks for your reply.I think I would understand better with some code snippets.
Thanks.

This article[^] should help - [edit again - the part on WM_APP constants messaging in particular, though there is lots more stuff to look at here.]

Thank you David, but I got this message:
"error C2065: 'gethostname' : undeclared identifier"
"error C2065: 'gethostbyname' : undeclared identifier"
Could you tell me the #include I have to put and make an example?
Thank you for your help
For phisical direction I refer to the first information that you get if you do a ipconfig/all in a ms-dos window.
Thank you another time

Don't you mean physical address?

Yes, you are ok.

Thank you very much. I´ll try it 
|

It really works!!
Thank you very much.
Only one thing. It doesn´t work under Windows NT 
Do you know if it will be possible to make it work under this OS?
Thanks another time

Hi All!
Problem in VC++ 6.0 with such error:
tmp2.obj : error LNK2005: "struct VLCtabTag * TMNMVtab0" (?TMNMVtab0@@3PAUVLCtabTag@@A) already defined in tmp1.obj
I got such files:
tmp1.cpp
<br />
#include "tmp1.h"<br />
VLCtab l;<br />
int main()<br />
{<br />
return 0;<br />
}<br />
------------------
tmp2.cpp
<br />
#include "tmp1.h"<br />
------------------
tmp1.h
#ifndef _TMP1_H<br />
#define _TMP1_H<br />
<br />
<br />
typedef struct VLCtabTag<br />
{<br />
int val, len;<br />
} VLCtab;<br />
<br />
VLCtab TMNMVtab0[] = { {1,1}, {2,2}, {3,3} };<br />
<br />
#endif // _TMP1_H
------------------
...uff that's all.
Any ideas? I'm really confused since #ifndef is used!

Which only matters when you are pre-compiling, not linking. tmp1.obj and tmp2.obj both have definitions for VLCtab TMNMVtab0.

...so what should i do in order to go on without this error?

Initialize the structure from one file only (e.g., tmp1.cpp or tmp2.cpp).

i moved line:
VLCtab TMNMVtab0[] = { {1,1}, {2,2}, {3,3} };
to tmp2.cpp file.
everything goes fine THANKS!!
Now i also added to tmp2.cpp file such line in main()
l[0].len = TMNMVtab0[0].len
...now structure is not visible for functions in tmp1.cpp some errors were displayed that he doesn't know what is it TMNVtab
i can add to tmp1.cpp file one more line:
extern VLCtab TMNMVtab0[];
but this is what i wanted to avoid.
i tried to manage such thing that after including eg. tmp1.h in several files, each file will see typedefs and declared variables. Is it possible somehow?
initialisation of these structures could be done in one of files that include it.

..ups sorry my mistake and missunderstanding 
everything is now correct.
according to files described in my first post:
i moved with Your recommendation to tmp2.cpp
<br />
VLCtab TMNMVtab0[] = { {1,1}, {2,2}, {3,3} };<br />
i left in tmp1.h :
VLCtab TMNMVtab0[]
and everything works fine
Thank You verry much David!

I didn't compile this, but what about something like:
tmp1.cpp
#include "tmp1.h"
VLCtabTag l;
int main()
{
return 0;
}
------------------
tmp2.cpp
#include "tmp1.h"
extern struct VLCtabTag l;
VLCtabTag TMNMVtab0[] = { {1,1}, {2,2}, {3,3} };
l[0].len = TMNMVtab0[0].len;
------------------
tmp1.h
#ifndef _TMP1_H
#define _TMP1_H
typedef struct VLCtabTag
{
int val;
int len;
};
#endif // _TMP1_H
