Re: Dialog edit control & Enter key

hi Ashman,

all you have to do is to set the focus on the specific control... you can use

(CEdit*)GetDlgItem(YOUR_Edit_ID))->SetFocus();

to avoid you to move explicitly your mouse upon the EditBox, and in the OnInitDialog(), you tell which button to be pressed when the user presses Enter key by giving it the property Default

Problem in SearchPath

I want to initialize a executable, making OS to search for the file.

STARTUPINFO si = {sizeof(si)};<br />
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;<br />
TCHAR szCommandLine[1024] = {0},*pszCommandLine = 0;<br />
<br />
DWORD lFileName = <br />
SearchPath(NULL,(LPCWSTR)"YPager",(LPCWSTR)".exe",(DWORD)sizeof(szCommandLine), szCommandLine, *pszCommandLine);<br />
<br />
BOOL bCreate = CreateProcessNULL,szCommandLine,NULL,NULL,FALSE,0,NULL,NULL,&si,&pi);

there is no complier error but szCommandLine cannot fill the path.

Any other suggestions to achieve the same goal is appreciated.
Cheers!
Siddharth

Multilingual resource strings

Hi,

I use VC6 (SP5) in Windows XP Pro (SP1). I wanted to add Greek/Chinese strings. I edited the .rc files in a Unicode editor, saved the file as UTF-8. But, now, VC6 has problems handling the file. But, if I save it as a normal file, the strings are garbled.

How do I add other language strings to my resource file and what shd I use to compile it?

TIA
MRK

I've noticed that VC6 has problems in dealing with language strings, especially unicode characters. What we do normally is create the structure of the resource file using the VC resource editor, then have the translators to use their text editor (I think they use TextPad), re-include the modified resource file in Visual Studio. DO NOT modifiy in any way the file after it has been translated - do not change dialogs, not accelerators, nothing. If you do get a saved copy of the translated version and copy and paste the text using a text editor to replace the garbled text.

VC7 seems to have addressed the problem.

Hope that helps.

How to make a Wizard?

I want to make a wizard. For example i have four dialogs. The last one is my main dialog.

Now i open the first dlg. From this dlg i want to open the next dlg with a button, but the first one doesn´t close.
How can i check if the second dlg is opened and i´m able to close the first one.

maybe there is another way to create a wizard!?

In MFC, you can use the classes CPropertySheet[^] and CPropertyPage.

DLL debugging

26-Jan-04 22:12

I have source code for a DLL created in C++ .net, I want to debug this.

I have created a second project (console application ) in the same solution ,for calling a particular function from the first project and passing parameter to it.

But when I tried to call that function

int DNAPrintExport InstallPrinter(const char* cpstrPrinterData)
{

}
using the following code in the second project

int abc=InstallPrinter("Hello");

I am getting error C2065: 'InstallPrinter' : undeclared identifier

Can anybody help me to do this please

Thanks in advance

Have a look here[^] and see how _declspec(dllimport) is used to import a function from a DLL to another application.

Could somebody please help???

Dear all,

I am using Visual C MFC Dialog-based application to obtain USB data from a Cypress chip. DeviceIoControl(IOCTL_EZUSB_BULK_READ...)... I am doing this using multithreading method. However, I face a problem when I compile. This is part of my program:

UINT SendOpThread(LPVOID pParam)
{
int bResult;
CThreadInfo* pTh = (CThreadInfo*)pParam;

BULK_TRANSFER_CONTROL2 btc;
btc.pipeNum = 0;

DeviceHandle = CreateFile("\\\\.\\ezusb-0",
GENERIC_WRITE,
FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
0,
NULL);
bResult = DeviceIoControl (DeviceHandle,
IOCTL_EZUSB_BULK_READ,
&btc,
sizeof (BULK_TRANSFER_CONTROL),
r_Buffer,
sizeof(r_Buffer),
&nBytes,
NULL);

CloseHandle(DeviceHandle);

Confused | :confused:

wsprintf(str, "r_Buffer[%d]: %04X\n", i,r_Buffer[i]);

SendDlgItemMessage(IDC_OUTPUT6,
LB_ADDSTRING,
0,
(LPARAM)(LPCTSTR) str); Confused | :confused:

return(bResult);
}

void CUSB1Dlg::OnBulkRead()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
int Code=1;

stream1 = fopen("data.txt","a+") ;

myWinThread = AfxBeginThread(SendOpThread, &Code, THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST,0,CREATE_SUSPENDED);

myWinThread->m_bAutoDelete=FALSE;
myWinThread->ResumeThread();
.
.
.
}

When I compile, I got this error:

'SendDlgItemMessageA' : Function does not take 4 parameters

I found from the Help:
SendDlgItemMessage consists of 3 types: which is CWnd, CWindow, & Windows User Interface. Which 1 should the thread belongs to?

I assumed that it belongs to WUI, and so it requires HWND hDlg, a handle of dialog box. Since I am using Dialog-based application where the dialog is already created, how should I put for the hdlg parameter?

I really wish that someone could help me...

OK, here's my 2 cents worth. You can change the code slightly by using

CWnd* pWnd = GetDlgItem(IDC_OUTPUT6);
if (pWnd)
{
pWnd->SendMessage(LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)(LPCTSTR)str);
}

assuming, of course, this happens in a dialog member function.
If not, and it's in something like a worker thread, as part of the thread parameter block, you need something more complex than a simple int.
Perhaps
struct paramblock {
int code;
HWND hWnd;
};
would help Smile | :)

Then get the HWND before invoking the AfxBeginThread, and use the WINAPI version.

As a rule, you can specify you want that version by using the global scope prefix '::'

eg ::SendMessage(param.hWnd, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)(LPCTSTR)str);

Hope this helps

Thanks for your reply. Sorry that I am quite poor in Visual C. May I know how do I get hWnd? hWnd=??? My objective is to output some message in my worker thread. So, let say...

UINT SendOpThread(LPVOID pParam)
{
int bResult;
CThreadInfo* pTh = (CThreadInfo*)pParam;

BULK_TRANSFER_CONTROL2 btc;
btc.pipeNum = 0;

DeviceHandle = CreateFile("\\\\.\\ezusb-0",
GENERIC_WRITE,
FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
0,
NULL);
bResult = DeviceIoControl (DeviceHandle,
IOCTL_EZUSB_BULK_READ,
&btc,
sizeof (BULK_TRANSFER_CONTROL),
r_Buffer,
sizeof(r_Buffer),
&nBytes,
NULL);

CloseHandle(DeviceHandle);

wsprintf(str, "r_Buffer[%d]: %04X\n", i,r_Buffer[i]);

::SendDlgItemMessage(pParam2.hWnd, LB_ADDSTRING,
0,
(LPARAM)(LPCTSTR) str);
return(bResult);
}

void CUSB1Dlg::OnBulkRead()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
struct paramblock{
int Code=1;
HWND hWnd;
};

Confused | :confused:

What should I write here?

stream1 = fopen("data.txt","a+") ;

myWinThread = AfxBeginThread(SendOpThread, Confused | :confused:

here??pPar, THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST,0,CREATE_SUSPENDED);

myWinThread->m_bAutoDelete=FALSE;
myWinThread->ResumeThread();

GDI+ : construct Image from an IStream

26-Jan-04 21:55

im trying to construct a GDI+ Image object from an IStream;
the IStream is created on global memory successfully and assigned valid image data but, when i try
image = ::new Image(stream)

laststatus says something about wrong/incorrect arguments
("InvalidParameter" i think)

has anybody tried this ?

Did you rewind the stream? I.e. pStream->Seek(0, STREAM_SEEK_SET, 0)?

the GDI+ Image still has property nativeImage = 0x00

any other ideas ?

thanx, Jörgen
i think i found the cause - its actually not the IStream, but the GIF image data inside of it that makes the Image constructor fail. When i exported the GIF image and saved it anew (in acdsee) - the new file is slightly different and Image aquires it without problems.
I'll be digging it some more, but its a different matter now Smile | :)

thanx again

modeless dialogs - ownmessage queue ?

Hello,

can please someone explain me, how modeless dialogs are working ?
Does they have their own message queue ?
Which thread is processing their messages ? (When I have one threaded
application which just created couple od modeless dialogs) ?

Message Q's are on a per-thread basis - each modeless dialog your thread creates will be serviced by the same message Q - it's the magic call(s) to IsDialogMessage in the message pump that translates the keyboard messages for each dialog.
