No problem, Microsoft invented a class[^] for that very purpose.

I guess you probably mean convert; take a look at sprintf[^] and its variants.

Found this with a quick google search:

char Buf[100];<br />
_variant_t var;<br />
if (V_VT(&var) == VT_BSTR)<br />
{<br />
    USES_CONVERSION;<br />
    cont char* pStr = OLE2T(var);<br />
    strcpy(Buf, pStr);<br />
}<br />

Dear Snakefoot,

Thank you very much!

I will do like this:

<br />
if (V_VT(&var) == VT_BSTR)<br />
{<br />
   strcpy(Buf, (const char*)(_bstr_t)var);<br />
}<br />

I don't like to use mfc and atl(USES_CONVERSION included in afxconv.h or atlconv.h), but thank you all the same for your kindness! Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

Transparent Window in Remote desktop [modified]

I have an MFC dialog which is made transparent usingSetLayeredWindowAttributes().
When i start this transparent window in my machine, i can't click.
When i connect this machine remotely from any other machine and when i try to click the background of that window, i can click.

I tried with different values for alpha in SetLayeredWindowAttributes() and i found that if alpha value is equals or above 5, behavior in both cases are same.

I want to disable the clicking of background of transparent window with alpha value as 1 in remote desktop also. Or any other way for displaying the background clicking in remote desktop

Please help me.

You can check if you are in remote:

Retrieves the Remote Desktop Services session associated with a specified process.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa382990(VS.85).aspx[^]

// 0 - Not Remote Session
// 1 - Remote Session
// -1 - Internal Error
//
int isRemoteSession()
{
DWORD sessId = 0;

if(ProcessIdToSessionId(GetCurrentProcessId(), &sessId) != 0)
{
return (sessId == 0) ? 0 : 1;
}

return -1; // Internal Error
}

For the rest, eliminate the alpha when needed

Difference between EndDialog and EndWindow?

I have 2 queries, Kindly clarify it.

1. What is the difference between EndDialog() and EndWindow()?
2. Is it possible to use EndDialog for closing the modeless dialog?

Help me out!

1. I never heard or used EndWindow. Confused | :confused:

2. For a modeless dialog, why you need EndDialog, i think it wont be needed usually, rather you have to use ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) mostly.Well if you use EndDialog, then you have initialize and dialog once again since it get destroyed on EndDialog.

EndDialog() is a standard Windows function, and there's no such thing as EndWindow.

use /VERBOSE:LIB in the project settings.

You are using some single thread libs with multi thread libs.

Last rescue is /FORCE Unsure | :~

I am sorry for you.

Take out all user libraries dependencies of your project. Or start a new one. You need one that can be build. And than step for step include the libs until it doesnt work.

Child Dialog gets hidden behind activex control [modified]

indra27110-Dec-09 23:27

Hello,

I have a main dialog in which I have embedded an activex control.
This dialog also has a child dialog.

When the main dialog comes up the child dialog is always partially hidden behind the activex control.
Only on mouse click it comes to the fore front.

CLIP CHILDREN didn't work.

Any help on this problem?

You should not use Dialogs within Dialogs, it is bad design. Your main window should be a normal window that shows the child dialog as and when it is needed.

Well I had the same situation few years back, If I remember correctly I handled the OnInitialUpdate() and OnSize() call of Parent class,

The first problem as I see is an repainting problem,
Hope this help.

Sounds like some sort of focus issue, but it's difficut to guess from your description.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
