Find the window handle of your group box.
Do a Create on the checkbox control window and make sure it is inserted in Z-Order AFTER the group box window. That will effectively place the checkbox 'in' the group box. The Z_Order will affect the tab order, which is one of the criteria the group box uses to determine which controls are part of the 'group'. Also, certain controls must have the WS_GROUP style set, all child controls from one with WS_GROUP set untilt the next one with WS_GROUP set are considered a single group.

For example:

Group Box - WS_GROUP

CheckBox - WS_GROUP
CheckBox - NO WS_GROUP
CheckBox - NO WS_GROUP
CheckBox - NO WS_GROUP

Push Button - WS_GROUP

This makes for four checkboxes all part of same group.

Ultimate Grid 6.1 (tab font)

I am trying to set a different font inside a grid tab. The following code is a snippet of what I’m doing. When I run the application it crashes! Has anyone used the function call SetTabFont? And if so can you share some insight on how to properly use this thing. The commented code is what I’m inputting to try and get my desired response.

Thanks for any help, Steve…

void CProcessGrid::OnSetup()
{
CUGCell cell;
CUGTab mTab;

SetNumberSheets(3);

AddTab("Procedure", 0);
AddTab("Parts", 1);
AddTab("Tools", 2);

SetTabWidth(500);

SetCurrentTab (0);

//************ Change Font Size **********[SMB 06/20/05]
//
//CFont *mFont;
//int fontIndex;
//fontIndex = AddFont("Arial", 8, 2);
//mFont = GetFont(fontIndex);
//mTab.SetTabFont(mFont);
//

Is it possible that the mTab object hasn't been created yet (not a window yet)?

DLL question ( clueless )

( in VC6 )

I have a DLL from a 3rd party.

there is only one function in the DLL which is declared like this in the simplist documentation :

int __stdcall Function( long,double*, long , long );<code><br />
<br />
in my code I do this : <br />
<br />
<pre>
 typedef int (*FunctionProc)(long , double*, long, long );
/// LoadLibrary and GetProcAdress work ( they don't return NULL )
///...
 double* p;
 int iRes = FunctionProc( 1, p, 2, 3 );
// cleanup ....
}</pre><br />
<br />
When I run this, I get a ESP error telling me the calling convention is not good between the DLL function and the function prototype I use.<br />
<br />
I changed the calling conventions of my sample project from __cdecl to __stdcall ( in the project settings ) and it looks like it works, the Function gets called without crashing.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to "transform" the function calling convention ? <br />
<br />
in my real application, I would like not to change the calling convention if possible, I don't really know the implications.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />
<br />

I'd use __cdecl . It has always worked well for me in the past

Re: DLL question ( clueless )

Tom Archer21-Jun-05 4:15

21-Jun-05 4:15

No because the caller has been built with a specified calling convention and the stack must be set up accordingly.

Why not change the typedef

typedef int (__stdcall *FunctionProc)(long, double*, long, long);

I do this :

and it seems to "work"...

SDI w/ splitter - SetActiveView()???

lynchspawn21-Jun-05 4:04

lynchspawn

21-Jun-05 4:04

I have an SDI app with a splitter and two views. The left view is a tree view and I'm trying to make the app come up with the last selection visible/active.

The menus/toolbars are indicating that the view is active but the focus/selection mark in the tree control acts as if it is not the active view. Part of the problem may be that the EnsureVisbile() call doesn't actually make it visible (the selection is hidden under a scroll bar). I don't know if that is what is causing the trouble or if the fact that the view really isn't the active view (in terms of mouse, keyboard) is why they EnsureVisible() isn't working (the chicken/egg thing).

I'm using a timer in the MainFrame and forcing the active view after 300ms using SetActiveView(). Is there something else I should be doing to make the view act as if I just clicked on the item? Any idea why the EnsureVisible() isn't placing the selected item within sight?

Thanks.

Reading a node value from XML file

Can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong here. I can load the XML file fine but when i select the node that i want and try to retrieve the text, i get nothing back.

std::string value;
HRESULT hr;
MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr pDocument;
MSXML2::IXMLDOMNodePtr ptagNode;

_bstr_t mybstrtagResponseKey = "//Response//ResponseKey";
_bstr_t mybstrtagResponseText = "//Response//ResponseText";

_bstr_t myxmlfile = "C:\\sample.xml";

// Create XMLDOMDocument
hr = CoInitialize(NULL);

hr = pDocument.CreateInstance("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");

if (FAILED(hr))
{

}
try
{
// Load xml file.
if (pDocument->load(myxmlfile)!= VARIANT_TRUE)
{
}

else
{
ptagNode = pDocument->selectSingleNode(mybstrtagResponseKey);
//if text exists, get it...
while (ptagNode)
{
value = ptagNode->text;

}

}

}

It doesn't appear that you're setting the root:

You're not setting the root:

MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr plDomDocument = NULL;
MSXML2::IXMLDOMElementPtr pDocRoot;

HRESULT hr = plDomDocument.CreateInstance(MSXML2::CLSID_DOMDocument);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
BSTR xml = _com_util::ConvertStringToBSTR(response);
variant_t vResult = plDomDocument->loadXML(xml);
if (((bool)vResult) == TRUE) // success!
{
// now that the document is loaded, we need to initialize the root pointer
MSXML2::IXMLDOMElementPtr pDocRoot = plDomDocument->documentElement;
			
CComPtr<MSXML2::IXMLDOMNode> pDisp = pDocRoot->selectSingleNode(_T("Disposition"));
if (pDisp)

By the way, in my code I'm loading the DOM object from memory (via loadXml) while you're doing it from disk (via load). However, the main issue is that you have to set the root and call its selectXXX functions to retrieve the desired elements.

I learn something new everyday. This is awsesome. I must say, Tom, you really know your XML. I appreciate your help.

I have another question though...
After i retrieve the node value, it will be a blob of data. I have to search this blob and pick out certain pieces of data. I am currently looking to use std::string. Is there a cooler way to search text using XML instead of string? Or is string sufficient for this case?

using ifstream to read a file.

Hi!

I'm creating a small program that reads from a text file, using ifstream.
I'm wondering how I can tell the stream to start reading the file from the beginning?

Is this possible or do I have to close the file and reopen it?

This is what I'm doing:

ifstream file(filename);

if(!file.is_open())
{
// Error message.
}

while(!file.eof())
{
file.getline(buf, 200);
// after comes more code that is not relevant here.
}

When I do this getline starts reading line by line.
So how can I tell it to start from the beginning?

Thanks!

You can use the seekg method for that. Something like

ifstream input("C:\\Test.txt");

int txt = 0;
//Read a number
input >> txt;
cout << txt;

// Go back to beginning
input.seekg(0, ios::beg);

// Read the number again.
input >> txt;
cout << txt;

Senthil

Crash when using EditSecurity function

I am using the function inside a custom modal dialog. The arguments I pass are :the dialog’s window handle and the pointer to the object of a class in which I have implemented the IsecurityInformation interface with 2 additional functions of mine.
The application runs fine but crashes sometimes. The crash can be reproduced even when I just move the permission dialog. I think there is some problem in the implementation of the interface. I have tried with passing NULL as first argument but it crashes everytime.
The crash occurs in the Defwindowproc function
