As I understand it, a transparent window means that the BACKGROUND shows through.
If you don't erase the background of your window and fill it in with anything, what is beneath it will show through. Anything you DRAW in your 'transparent' window will still be on top of whatever is showing though.
So, if you only draw your text when you get the WM_PAINT for your transparent window, the text should show up fine.

Sorry, I'm still confusing... 
You say transparent window,, does that mean layered window?
What I tried was drawing some text on the layered window..
But the text was diaspearing as the window's getting transparent..
|
|
|
|
|
But what I'd like to do is draw 100% opaque string onto the 100% transparent
window..
Thanks anyway, Blake

Hi
I have a short question about debugging in C++. Let's say I have a member variable that rarely changes, and in my program I suspect there's an invalid modification made to this variable that causes my program to crash. Is there a way to set up a debugger in such a way that it will trap when the variable is changed?
Simple text find in the source files won't do, since more complex circumstances (e.g. int tmp[100]; memcpy(tmp, some_buffer, 101*sizeof(int) /*oooops*/); ) MAY also change the value of the variable if it's located right after tmp[99], and these kinds of error won't be detected by source files text find.
Thanks!

Hello Indrawati,
You've touched on one of my favourite debugging techniques. I assume that you are using Visual C++ 6.0.
Do the following :
1. Put a breakpoint at the place where your member variable is first created, A good place would be when your object is instantiated.
2. Start to debug your app.
3. After your object has been created and initialized, select and highlight your member variable.
4. Press SHIFT+F9 to bring up the Quick Watch window.
5. You will see your member variable displayed on the edit box labelled "Expression".
6. Put a '&'symbol just infront of your member variable. The memory address of your member variable will appear on the value column.
7. Remember this memory address.
8. Now press CTRL-B to bring up the "Breakpoints" dialog box.
9. Select the "Data" tab in the "Breakpoints" dialog box.
10. In the edit box labelled "Ënter the expression to be evaluated", type in the memory address of your member variable.
11. In the "Enter the number of elements to watch in an array or structure" edit box, type in the number of bytes that your member variable would take up.
12. Click "OK".
You now have a memory address breakpoint. Whenever the contents of this memory address changes (up the the number of bytes you specified in point 11), a message box will appear rto indicate to you that changes have occurred.
Hope this advise will help you.
Best Regards,
Bio.

Hi all,
Sorry if my post is at wrong forum.
I have an ActiveX Control with a property name "Title". The put function is like this:
STDMETHODIMP CAxTestCtrl::put_Title(BSTR newVal)
{
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
m_strTitle = (CString)newVal; // CString m_strTitle
return S_OK;
}
In the web page, which has Shift_JIS charset, I use javascript to pass a Japanese string to the "Title" property:
function doSetTitle() {
AxTestCtrl.Title = Form1.txtTitle.value;
}
After calling the above javascript function, in the ActiveX control, the value of the m_strTitle is "????" (the Japanese string has 4 Japanese characters).
Did my code wrong somewhere?
Any help would be appreciated.

I just buy a P310C Model. This model has encoder inside. I have been
order to build a encoder application to encode 500 units smart card. I
need help on build the application because I am beginner in C++/MFC. I have been supply with cst25110.h and cst25110.dll
The application story:
The Application will read a text file to encode all cards. The txt file
name CADID_listing.txt contains:
CAD_PIN=22222
CARD_TYPE=01000000
CAD_ID
1234567800
4587452600
5412288400
...
Explaination: CARD_ID will be write to the card, and each card has
CAD_PIN and CARD TYPE written inside. Let say the first card is encode,
so the card will be CARD_PIN=22222, CARD_TYPE=01000000 and
CARD_ID=1234567800 and the second card will be CARD_PIN=22222,
CARD_TYPE=01000000 and CARD_ID=4587452600....and so on until the card is
finished encode.
I have do some research and i only can completed until here,
#include <cst25110.h>
// P310C Smart Card Encoder
ctOpen();
ctEngageCard(); // engage contact station
ctColdReset(); // for SLE 4428 cards.
// actual encoding tasks here!
ctDeactivate(); // power down smartcard
ctDisengageCard(); // disengage contact station
ctClose();
I need urgent help

I am creating a COM component in VC++ using MFC and automation. The automation process is via the CCmdTarget class and IDispatch. The component is a wrapper for accessing a proprietary binary file which holds information pertaining to a scanning system we use. Specifically each binary file will hold information relating to a particular form setup, such as how many sheets the form has the fields which we are capturing off the form and so on (the package is called IST). A portion of the object model for the file structure is as follows:
Application (only one)
----Records (contains all the fields)
--------Fields
----Documents
--------Sheets
------------Grids (maybe OMR or OCR region on the form, and will link back to one a field)
etc..
The structure is stored on disk in the above manner, and read into structs. The way I have gone about exposing the structs is via nested objects and collections of objects (CTypedPtrArray). So as an example I have exposed the records as IRecord and IRecords, IRecords is a collection of IRecord objects. The annoying aspect of this is that each IRecord object must hold a pointer to the record structure that has been read off disk. This pointer is setup during construction of the collections after it has been read off disk, and will allow us to write back the information to disk if any changes are made.
This is all working fine (from what I can tell) however there appears to be a memory issue when the objects go into final release. It gives access violation error just before the application closes or the control passes the destructor and when using the component from VB it is giving an access violation.
So I’m just wondering whether anyone has any advice with relation to automation, and how to appropriately dispose of objects, as I’m a little confused about the difference between FinalRelease and the destructor. I am happy to send the project if required.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I build a dialog-based program in vc++ 6, and add some code,it seems ok.
But when I add MS web browser control to my dialog(click "add activex controls->Microsoft web browser").Dramtically,My app even can not start up---but build is successed.What reason?
Another situation, I put a dialog in dll,and export it from my app. When the dialog not include any activx Control,it works fine,however,if add any activex control ,then you call it in you app( by pMyDlg->DoModal()),the dialog will not work(No error msg,but dialog never appear).
So how can I host a activeX in my dialog in dll and export it in my app?
Any comment will be appreciate.

Hi, I wrote a program with two vertical splitter windows. Now, I need to update the "LeftView" window, upon a DblClick action on the right window. I used the DblClk function to write something to pDoc, but how can I force the OnDraw on all windows.. UpdateAllViews() seem to fail.. :/
Thanks,

Could I get the bitmaps stored at display memory by capturing the screen ?
if not ,why?
|
|
|
|
|
huh ?
if you take a screen capture, you will have a bitmap in the clipboard.
but it will not take a snapshop of a memory bitmap ( ??? )

Sorry,What I want to say is that:
A bitmap named "picture1" is stored at display memory and is displayed at the display.When I capture the screen ,and the bitmap received
didn't contain picture1 ,why?
if I want to capture the picture1,how?

Hello,
I have a global class and it works fine when in WinMain, but in the MsgProc callback function I get "Access Violation" errors running the same methods in the class that worked fine in WinMain.
Any idea why this is? Thank you.

Hello,
How do I see the output of the preprocessor in Visual C++ .NET? Thank you.
|
|
|
|
|
Add the /E switch to the command line in the Project Settings, under the C/C++ -> Command Line tree item. This will output the preprocessor to stdout, which goes to the build window. Or, you can make preprocessor output go to a file by specifying "Generate Preprocessed File" under the C/C++ -> Preprocessor tree item.
Good luck!

I am definitely missing something here, and I'm hoping that someone can provide an explanation about this question around XP themes. - I am using MFC, by the way.
In a nutshell, I guess I just don't really understand what all of this is doing. I know that you load up the dll, and then start calling functions like drawthemebackground and things like that. But - how is this different than the standard functionality provided in MFC?
Say I have a regular CButton on a form. If I run this on w2k or xp classic mode, it looks like the regular button that we all know and love. If I turn on a theme in XP, like the default one with the blue titlebar and rounded edged buttons, the button automatically looks like what I'd expectn in XP, with the rounded edged button, different color text when you hover, etc...
So - obviously I am missing something, but why go through all of this dll loading, calling functions, etc...when it appears that MFC is already handling this stuff? What is the benefit?
Confusedly yours,

Ut isn't MFC that is handling XP Themes but the Manifest file or .RC entry you add that tells Windows to use XP Themes.
I haven't used any of the drawthemexxx functions yet, but my understanding is that if you are using any of your own owner draw controls and you want them to look like XP controls then you use this stuff. Hope that helps.
