Without seeing any code it's impossible to answer.
Are you using the right thread ID? Does the thread have a message queue? Are you processing messages from the queue?

Do you use the ON_THREAD_MESSAGE macro with the right parameters and handlers?

Can I retrieve a pointer to the listbox of a combobox in CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style?
I'd like to change the dropped rect, but unfortunately there is no SetDroppedRect().

If you want to change the size of the listbox when we click the dropdown button of the combobox at design time, the solution is below.
1. First doubleclick the dialog from the resource view.
2. Then select your combo box.
3. Now click on the dropdown button on the combobox.
4. Then resize the selection (drag baseline of the selction rectangle) and that will be the size of the listbox.
isn't it simple?

Jijo.

You can change the width and height of the dropdown listbox with following two functions in CComboBox.
to change the dropdown list width
to the longest string in the combobox
<br />
extern CComboBox* pmyComboBox;<br />
<br />
CString str;<br />
CSize sz;<br />
int dx=0;<br />
CDC* pDC = pmyComboBox->GetDC();<br />
for (int i=0;i < pmyComboBox->GetCount();i++)<br />
{<br />
pmyComboBox->GetLBText( i, str );<br />
sz = pDC->GetTextExtent(str);<br />
<br />
if (sz.cx > dx)<br />
dx = sz.cx;<br />
}<br />
pmyComboBox->ReleaseDC(pDC);<br />
<br />
dx += ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXVSCROLL) + 2*::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXEDGE);<br />
<br />
pmyComboBox->SetDroppedWidth(dx);<br />
Change the each item height of dropdown list to 50px
<br />
extern CComboBox* pmyComboBox;<br />
<br />
CString str;<br />
CSize sz;<br />
int dx=0;<br />
CDC* pDC = pmyComboBox->GetDC();<br />
for (int i=0;i < pmyComboBox->GetCount();i++)<br />
{<br />
pmyComboBox->SetItemHeight( i, 50 );<br />
}<br />
pmyComboBox->ReleaseDC(pDC);<br />
<br />
<br />
greatest thing is to do wot others think you cant

Thx a lot for helping.
But what heppens when the strings are so long the can't be fully displayed and the horizontal scrollbar needs to be shown?
Answer : in case of 1 item there is an invisible scrollbar,
in case of 2 items, the scrollbar covers the second item
in case of more items, it looks nice and correct.
In the first two cases the solution with a horizontal scrollbar does not look nice, so I thought to resize the listbox in height but you cannot because c++ itself does resize the listbox to the number of items in the list without taking the size of a horizontal listbox into account.
Can I prohibbit this automatic sizing?
and again, Thx for helping

Hi
I would like to know how to make a toolbar button toggle. For example, in MDI if there are two child windows and corresponding buttons on the toolbar for them, if the button is clicked once then the child window should appear and when it is clicked for the second time the child window should dissappear. Please help me regarding this. This is urgent.
Thanking you,

CString m_strFolderPath;
LPMALLOC pMalloc = NULL;
LPITEMIDLIST pidl = NULL;
BROWSEINFO bi;
ZeroMemory(&bi, sizeof(BROWSEINFO));
// set the bi's default values
bi.hwndOwner = m_hWnd;
bi.lpszTitle = _T("Current folder is:");
bi.ulFlags = BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS | BIF_STATUSTEXT;
//bi.lpfn = BrowseCallbackProc;
pidl = SHBrowseForFolder(&bi);
if(pidl != NULL)
{
SHGetPathFromIDList(pidl,
m_strFolderPath.GetBuffer(
m_strFolderPath.GetLength()));
UpdateData(FALSE);
// free memory
if(SUCCEEDED(SHGetMalloc(&pMalloc)) && pMalloc)
pMalloc->Free(pidl);
pMalloc->Release();
m_EditPath.SetWindowText(m_strFolderPath);
}
thanks in advance.

When you get a buffer for the path with GetBuffer(), you need to specify a buffer size to allocate. At the moment, the string is empty, so GetLength() returns 0, so your buffer is 0 characters long. Allocate at least MAX_PATH characters and you should be ok. You also need to release the string buffer after.
CString m_strFolderPath;
LPMALLOC pMalloc = NULL;
LPITEMIDLIST pidl = NULL;
BROWSEINFO bi;
ZeroMemory(&bi, sizeof(BROWSEINFO));
bi.hwndOwner = m_hWnd;
bi.lpszTitle = _T("Current folder is:");
bi.ulFlags = BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS | BIF_STATUSTEXT;
pidl = SHBrowseForFolder(&bi);
if(pidl != NULL)
{
SHGetPathFromIDList(pidl, m_strFolderPath.GetBuffer(MAX_PATH));
m_strFolder.ReleaseBuffer();
UpdateData(FALSE);
if(SUCCEEDED(SHGetMalloc(&pMalloc)) && pMalloc)
{
pMalloc->Free(pidl);
pMalloc->Release();
}
m_EditPath.SetWindowText(m_strFolderPath);
}
Hope this helps,

In CreateProcess what shld be first and 2nd parameter, so that whole computer is searched for executable file say ypager.exe file.
|
|
|
|
|
1. The first parameter of the CreateProcess is the filename of the exe that you want to execute.
2. The second parameter is the commandline arguments (if any) that you wish to pass to the executable.
The createProcess wont search the whole system when you give a filename. It just execute the exe file that you specify by the first parameter.
if you need to run an executable that located somewhere in the system, use CFileFind class and its FindFile () and function to search the system for that file and then get the filepath using appropreate functions and then give it as the first argument of CreateProcess ().
Isn't it simple ? 
Regards,
Jijo.

Hi,
Why is my application showing illegal operation when i try to save a document created using CreateNewDocument().
It is an MDI application with Full Server option selected in Step 3 of AppWizard and Base class as CFormView. The base class for the document is COleServerDoc.
Other than using CreateNewFrame() and InitalUpdateFrame()what all should be added?
regards
kevcs2.

I want to open a new document on selecting a menu item.For this I used pDocTemplate->OpenDocument().Then I set a boolean variable, pDoc->m_bBool = TRUE; But in the LButtonDblClk() I get the variable GetDocument()->m_bBool as FALSE.Why is this so?
regards
kevcs2.

Have you tried setting a breakpoint on the varaibles to see if its being changed anywhere?
To do this, get the address of your m_bBool and enter it into the Breakpoints Data page as
*(int*)(0xaddress)
Set the elements to 1, and you shoudl get a BP set when the varaible is changed.

I need to load a bitmap file which is created at runtime on a dialog...how do i do it...?
|
|
|
|
|
To load the bitmap from a file at runtime, please use the code
HANDLE handle = LoadImage( AfxGetInstanceHandle(),
"filname.bmp",
IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,LR_LOADFROMFILE);
CBitmap* pBmp = CBitmap::FromHandle((HBITMAP)handle);
Now you loaded the bitmap from the file and you got a pointer of CBitmap class. And its now ready to use.
Isn't it simple ?
Regards,
Jijo.

Hi...
ThankYou for a valuable suggestion...how should i add that bitmap to a dialog..I used LoadBitmap() in OnInitDialog()...but its not working....
|
|
|
|
|
Use a CStatic control and use the SetBitmap() method.

The LoadBitmap () function does not display the BMP to the dialog, It just load the bitmap from the file and gives us a handle. And from that handle we can make a CBitmap* and use.
And do you want to make the bitmap as your dialogs background pic ? if its the prblm the solution is below.
1. First add a member variable "CBitmap* pBmp" to your dialog class.
2. Then in the OnInitDialog () function of the dialog, add the following lines.
HANDLE handle = LoadImage( AfxGetInstanceHandle(),
"imagename.bmp",
IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,LR_LOADFROMFILE);
pBmp = CBitmap::FromHandle((HBITMAP)handle);
3. Now in the OnPaint () function of the dialog, add these code,
CPaintDC dc(this);
CDC memdc;
memdc.CreateCompatibleDC (&dc);
memdc.SelectObject (*pBmp);
dc.BitBlt (0, 0, WidthOfBMP,HeightOfBMP,&memdc,0,0,SRCCOPY);
thats all. Now the bitmap get painted in your windows background. And if its not the prblm feel free to ask.
Isn't it simple ?
Regards,
Jijo.
