Creating Wrapper for ActiveX Control

Hi All,
I have developed an MFC ActiceX Control. Say Shapes. and I have Imaplemented function for drawing Circle and Ellipse. Now I need to Update this component for Implementing the functionality for drawing Square and Triangle. Say ShapesNew.

I just want to inherit the functionality of the Control Shapes, to the Newly Created one, the ShapesNew through Dynamic linking.

ie. For Invoking the Function Circle, It must use the Old .OCX file for linking.

How can this be achieved..

TIA

Rajesh

Are you looking for implementation inheritance in COM ?

Virtual Classes

When inheriting a virtual class, do I have to completely redefine virtual functions of the base class. For instance, does the function following COMENT A work, or do I have to completely rebuild the operator = function?

Thanks.

class Base{
public:
Base();
~Base();
virtual Base& operator = (const Base& base);
};

class Inherited : virtual public Base{
public:
Inherited();
~Inherited();
virtual Inherited& operator = (const Inherited& inherited);
};

//COMENT A
Inherited& Inherited::operator = (const Inherited& inherited){
if (&inherited != this){
Base::operator = (inherited);
//do some other copying
}
return *this;
}

Why are you using virtual inheritance here? Generally, you inherit virtually when you're using multiple inheritance, and when those base classes share some common base class at some point. For single inheritance, as in your example, you don't need to use virtual inheritance when declaring the class.

For your example, why not try compliling and single-stepping through the code? That way, you'll know if it works or not. Personally, I'm not sure Smile | :)

Hi. Thanks for your response. I am using multiple inheritance. I just didn't want to burden a potential responder with reading unecessary code.

With respect to your comment, I have stepped through, and it doesn't appear that I have to completely redefine the function. I can call the base function in the derived function even when the base function is virtual and it calls the right (or wrong depending on your view) version. The documentation suggests this should not be the case.

Does anyone know if there is a a C or C++ library to implement the GVF snake method for edge detection?
If not, has anybody tried to implement GVF?

Resizing view

act_x4-Feb-05 10:57

4-Feb-05 10:57

I have an MDI application and am forcing two different views for one document .
This is code I got from Code Guru

1. Create a second view class for the second type of data display (using ClassWizard).

2. Construct a second CMultiDocTemplate in CWinApp::InitInstance(), using the second view class and the same document and child frame as the first. Store its pointer in the app class, but do NOT call CWinApp::AddDocTemplate() with this one - otherwise the app will ask the user what type of doc to create whenever you try to create a new document.

3. In CWinApp::ExitInstance(), delete this second doc template as it does not get automatically deleted like the first one does (because it was not added to the app).

4. In the document's OnNewDocument(), get a pointer to the second template from the app object, and then call CreateNewFrame() and InitialUpdateFrame() (in that order) with this doc template; use the document's 'this' pointer for the document to use (so that the second view shares the first document), and NULL for the frame window (since the first MDI child frame does not exist when OnNewDocument() is called - this does not matter). The frame pointer to use in InitialUpdateFrame() is the return value from CreateNewFrame().

Note: As both views share the same document, OnNewDocument() only gets called once per document - therefore the above method of automatically creating the second frame will not cause any problems.

5. Each view can now do its own drawing based on the data in the document. Note that the second view will refer to a generic CDocument pointer, which you will have to cast to the correct document class.

I find that the views are not sized properly . Where exactly should i resize the view
In other words where should the code to grab the parents client rect and setting an appropriate position happen
is it in my CMDIChildWnd class ? If yes what call

Thanks

Help Creating Win32 Rich Text Box

Hi, Ive been trying to make a standard Win32 Rich Text Box. Ive made this but the function never succeeds:

HWND main_text_handle = NULL;<br />
main_text_handle = CreateWindowEx(NULL,<br />
                                  "RICHEDIT_CLASS",<br />
                                  "",<br />
                                  WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | ES_AUTOVSCROLL | ES_LEFT | ES_MULTILINE | ES_NOHIDESEL,<br />
                                  0, 0,<br />
                                  width, height,<br />
                                  main_window_handle,<br />
                                  NULL,<br />
                                  hinstance,<br />
                                  NULL);

Why wont the function work? Please help - staring at this function for hours isnt good for the brain.
Thanks!

You need to load the richedit control DLL. Calling LoadLibrary(_T("riched20.dll")) before CreateWindowsEx() should do the trick.

BTW, you should use RICHEDIT_CLASS as argument to CreateWindowEx, and not "RICHEDIT_CLASS". RICHEDIT_CLASS is a #define, expanding into either "RichEdit20A" or "RichEdit20W" depending on your unicode preference.

width, height,<br />
main_window_handle,<br />

Just need to look at some of the messages on MSDN but it works!

iPod SDK?

Much to my surprise, I received a 20G iPod (and a yet to arrive auto accessory) for my birthday! Naturally, the first thing I want to do is to write my own cataloging and song transfer tool. I have a fair amount of code to handle cataloging, MP3 tags, playback, etc. but I have no idea how to communicate with the iPod from a Windows app.

Any pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks!
