Saving mails from pop3 server

20-Feb-04 23:25

This is good joke!!!
well what you do is before you spend HUGE time in MEMCPY , use API SetCursor(IDI_YOUR_CURSOR)
or
use thread so that it wont get jammed in your function..I havent seen your code, so this might be the solution

Um, memcpy doesn't show the busy mouse pointer. It is a simple routine that just moves bytes. There is another problem with your application.

I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Focus problem

Hi, I work on my control. I have to use WinAPI (not MFC). I have problem that the control doesnt recieve focus input when I click on it. I checked with Spy++ and I saw that focus recieved the parent dialog and the mouse input my control. Do you know why the control doesnt recieve focus ???

HEllo,

Step 1)
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMYCLASS)
MESSAGE_HANDLER(OnFocus,WM_SETFOCUS)
.
.
END_MESSAGE_MAP

LRESULT OnFocus(int idCtrl, LPNMHDR pnmh, BOOL& bHandled);

or
Step *)
Just use SetFocus()

or

If you are not getting mosuse events and other focus, then you will have to use message map of NCHITTEST

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMYCLASS)
MESSAGE_HANDLER(OnNChitTest,WM_NCHITTEST)
.
.
END_MESSAGE_MAP

LRESULT OnNChitTest(int idCtrl, LPNMHDR pnmh, BOOL& bHandled);

LRESULT CMYCLASS::OnNChitTest(int idCtrl, LPNMHDR pnmh, BOOL& bHandled
{
return HTCLIENT;
}

thats all,
if you didnt solve the problem, send you code to me, I shall try to solve it,

cheers

I must use only WinAPI(not MFC). Why WindowProc doesnt revieve WM_SETFOCUS(and key input) when I click in client area and revieve only mouse input ??

See if you are Creating some static stuff or Something on Parebt window in SDK or ATL, WinProc will give you only parent focus and mouse event, so you need to explicitly tell him that i want child foucus, so you have to add NCHITTEST which is indeed not MFC stuff....

Problem using Crystal Report 6

In your WindowProc for your control, handle the WM_LBUTTONDOWN (and/or WM_RBUTTONDOWN) message. Inside that message handler, call SetFocus, passing in the HWND of your control. There may be another way, but I'm not sure of it.

im having problem in crystal report 6 (using DB2 database).
the database was created by our DBA which makes him the owner of the database and tables as well (sample table: DBA.owners_name). i was given an account, PROG_I which gives me minimal authorization to the database (i have to run "set schema DBA" in VC to access/operation with the database). when im trying to print a report file in Crystal report, a message pop-up saying "PROG_I.owners_name" is undefined reference. does anyone give me an approach or technique?... thanks

Sounds like you will need to edit the report changing the PROG_I.column references to DBA.column references. As far as I know, there isn't a simple way to do this, although in CR7 and later I know you can modify these things at runtime from automation code.

Be much cleaner to edit the reports though.

Class Design Question

I am currently working on wrapping a third-party control into a MFC-based .dll. I have gotten used to properties in C# and was wondering if there were any design or implementation issues related to the use of the following within my class to mimic properties in C++.

private int m_Count;
int getCount()
{
  return m_Count;
}

void setCount(int i)
{
  m_Count = i;
}
__declspec( property( get=getCount, put=setCount ) ) int Count;

I've only used __declspec(property) once (for a parser), but it worked like a charm for me.

Hi All,

I'm looking for a regular expression parser that is fairly easy to use/implement in an MFC program. I've looked at the boost libraries regex++, but it seems like over kill for what I want. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

MFC Worker Thread Question

Here is the problem I am having:

UINT WorkerThread(LPVOID pParam)
{
while (1==1)
{
UpdateData();
//do something
UpdateData(false);
}
return 0;
}

void main()
{
AfxBeginThread(WorkerThread, (LPVOID)this, THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL);
}

The UpdateData() function does not work in the Worker Thread. I have researched this quite a bit, and apparantly others were having the same problem. However, no one was able to come up with a straight answer. Anyone know how to use UpdateData() in a worker thread? Any help is appreciated.

UINT WorkerThread(LPVOID pParam)
{
<code>CMyDialog *mydlg_ptr = (CMyDialog *)pParam;</code>

while (1==1)
{
<code>mydlg_ptr->UpdateData();</code>
//do something
<code>mydlg_ptr->UpdateData(false);</code>
}
return 0;
}

void main()
{
AfxBeginThread(WorkerThread, (LPVOID)this, THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL);
}

would that make any difference?
