Hi,
I have been trying to set the fontsize and fontface of a label control. Does anyone know how to do this in ATL? I am usnig the stock property "FONT", but I just can't get it to work. I have just about all the other properties doing what I want them to do, but font is really giving me a hard time.
Thanks

Hi,
There is a very nice step-by-step instructions in the MSDN article "FILE: Using Fonts in ATL Controls with NiceText.exe" Article ID: Q166472. I've used it about a year ago and it worked fine.
Regards,
Alex Gorev,

I am doing some stand-alone apps for handheld scanners. I need to know just exactly what different options the New Project wizard performs.
Does someone know of a document that precisely describes each option and what it produces? (Win32 App, MFC Wizard App, etc.) The help does little or nothing for me here!
I have always used a standard windows MFC app and haven't explored all of the different options.

Justin, I posted your code on a BBS I read, and someone responded that it gives the expected output using gcc. So chalk it up to a VC bug, I guess.
Something else that's weird - if you try to set breakpoints on the A() and B() constructors, it will only let you break at one of them. VC will say there's no code at the line the other constructor is on. *shrug*

Justin, I found this MS KB article that acknowledges that this is a bug in VC. The workaround is to throw a dummy template parameter in the function, i.e.:
template<typename T> void func ( T* dummy = NULL )

Is anyone familiar with programming the Rich Ink control for a WinCE 2.11 device? If not, do you have any suggestions for implementing signature capture. Thanks.

I am trying to move a combo box to a new location when a specific event happens. The code I currently have is:
CComboBox* state;
// box is initialized, blah blah blah
// then, later I have
state->MoveWindow(x, y, WIDTH_INC, HEIGHT_INC, TRUE);
This causes the following error:
The instruction "0x5f436c36" referenced memory at "0xcdcdcded". The memory could not be "read".
Using the debugger to step through the program, I've discovered in the MoveWindow function, it asserts at
ASSERT(::IsWindow(m_hWnd))
Any ideas what's happening?
Thanks,
Stephanie

Probably you called the MoveWindow function too early. I.e. before the controls are actually created.
If I recall correctly, they are created before/after the CDialog::OnInitDialog event.

Here's the sequence:
The user fills in some edit fields and pushes an Allocate button. The CComboBox is created and displayed.
Everything is good at this point. I can select different items from the drop down box and everything. If
the user has selected the Allocate button more than once, there could be several of the CComboBoxes.
When the user selects a Deallocate button, the CComboBox is removed the remaining boxes need to be
moved up (they're displayed vertically). This is when MoveWindow gets called and crashes.
Does this makes sense? The CComboBox has definately been created because I can select items from it.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Stephanie

Sounds like you may be goiong in a loop somewhere to move other boxes up, so don't you think you might be trying to move the one that is already gone, possibly?
|

I thought of that also, so I put in
if (state)
AfxMessageBox("Box is good");
else
AfxMessageBox("Box is bad");
I got the Box is good message, so I think the box is still there. Is this an accurate test to see if the box
exists? Any other ideas?
Thanks again,
Stephanie

Hi Stephanie,
Testing a pointer to a MFC object is not enough, it could be not associated to a Windows object anymore.
To see if the combobox exists, you should call ::IsWindow() just like the debug assertion.
I think you have to believe that 
Maybe, a code snippet that shows how you destroy the control and then reference it could be more helpful.
I also think you are using the deleted object at some point.
Cheers,
Paolo

No one noticed the value of the pointer! 0xCDCDCDED screams "uninitialized data". When a stack variable is allocated, it's filled with 0xCD so you can see that the variable hasn't been initialized yet. So Stephanie, wherever your MoveWindow() call is, you're calling it through an uninitialized pointer.

Actually, I had noticed that, especially since I had just encountered a CWnd pointer like that in my program and I put in special logic to test for 0xcdcdcdcd. I was being methodical about the problem so that is why I started out by asking what is "state"? Your answer is also good, since it seems that your answer did not require a reply. I do not know what I was thinking, but I guess I needed more information before I could help. Perhaps I just got distracted by confusion about the rest of the question and forgot to mention about the 0xcdcdcdcd stuff, so it is good you caught it.

That's exactly the problem. I discovered it last week, but didn't post it. (I guess I should have.)
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I've a problem in handling the Event Sink of a activeX control, which is created dynamically in the code.
I created a MDI application, in that on the MDIFramewnd's Oncreate function I created a 3'rd party ActiveX control with it's parent as the MDIFrameWnd. To handle the ActiveX events i created the Event Sink macro's
manually. But it seems that it is not calling the events in my MainFrame implementation. How can add a event handler for the activeX control. Please help me.
Advance thanx,
Subbi.

Im working on a little program that does on command drawing
eventually plotting / cutting (Very lucky to have opportunity to experiment on high tech peice of machinary  ) )I had a program thatused a CArray<cpoint,cpoint> collection but I need to have another two variables in a adition to a point. I tried using a class which had all neccissary variables and then tried to use it in a simar type collection but this didnt work.
How should I go about this??? CObArray??
I need to be able to 'add'Items and then read items sequentially.
thanks for the time

You can create separate instances of the class using new.
Then add the pointer to that class data to the CObArray.
Just remember to create a function to properly delete items prior to emptying the array, or else you will discover that you have memory leaks.
I usually use a for loop to fetch each item's pointer, delete the items via the pointer, then erase all the pointers by calling RemoveAll on the array when I am done with the data.

See: http://home.socal.rr.com/samhobbs/VC/Collections.html
The CObList sample can probably be used as an exmple of a CObArray also, with the obvious variations.
I think, however, that a CArray would be good too and might be easier. If you used it as in:
CArray <cfieldsrecord, cfieldsrecord&=""> m_FieldsRecords;
then it would store and retrieve your class items and you could delete everything with a simple:
m_FieldsRecords.RemoveAll();
when you are through. So what was the problem with CArray? I have used them and they work well and are easy to use. I think it would be worthwhile to determine what the problem is and solve it.

Well In fact I did solve the problem with the CArray and again Im sorry for the poorly written post I was a little
mindboggled last night!!!
I have a class whose constructor is as follows
JPoint(CPoint CP, int state, int Ptool);
This is the object I needed an array of..
In a SetCoordinates function I had code similar to this:
FixedMap.Add(JPoint((100,100),0,1));
Still a newbee I assumed that (100,100) would be assumed to be the CPoint required by the JPoint constructor;
And the fact I recieved no compiler errors lead me to beleive it should work. But when it came draw the points in another function nothing was displayed...
The problem was not prefixing (100,100) with CPoint as follows
FixedMap.Add(JPoint(CPoint(100,100),0,1));
Shouldve known better right???
