This sounds familiar - I recall you were trying to do something like this some months back.- It's unwise to display dialogs from within a view's
OnInitialUpdate() handler. Instead, post an internal command to the view (eg: IDC_SHOW_MY_MESSAGE) at the end of OnInitialUpdate() and write a handler to for that command that does the AfxMessageBox().
- Also consider doing the
AfxMessageBox() from within InitInstance() if possible.

This could well be a problem with windows XP itself.
Recently, when I try and shut down my computer when I have applications minimized, some popup a messagebox to ask a question, and XP doesnt show it. You cant switch to the application except through task manager, and then the messagebox is not shown either, and doesn't accept the keyboard input. Only option - Kill it through task manager.

Hello,
who can I catch Outlook events, for example
the user creates an new Contact.
I have to react to this events in C++ .
Can someone give me an example, please !
|
|
|
|
|
I don't have a code sample handy but I may be able to get one over the weekend if you want. Basically you have to create a reference to the outlook com object and create an event sink for the new contact event.

Thank you, that would be great if you would have some code for me.
How can I get the code ?

I just created a new Dialog, associated with a class. Now I go into the main Dlg class. Why is the backgroud color in the new dialog when I call DoModal for it a dark grey and it has teh Ok Cancel buttons which do not appear in the Resource file?

I have code where I am reading file. After I get the line into buffer I am trying to find first occurence of '*'.
How do I get the data from which is before the first occurence of '*'?
inFile.getline(inBuffer,'~');
char* p = strchr(inBuffer, '*');
|
|
|
|
|
You could temporarily stick a '\0' in it, like so:
char* p = strchr (inBuffer, '*');
if (p != NULL) {
char ch = *p;
*p = '\0';
printf ("Data before * is = %s\n", inBuffer);
*p = ch;
}

I have one more question. I need to compare this data. Some time the len of the data can be 2 or 3 characters. My question is how do I compare this data if len is changing?
Example:
in file: compare to:
test test
sd sd
|
|
|
|
|
Use strcmp() to compare strings, strlen() to get the length of a string.

So that means I have to declare 2 variables with 2 and 3 len. I was hoping is theire is somre way to declare 1 variable with 2 character and then in a run time if it's more that 2 char change to 3 char.

Sorry, I don't understand your question. If you want to test the length of a string, just use strlen() and compare its result to 2 or 3.

Compare with what, exactly?
If you want to compare each pair as "test" and "test", then "sd" vs "sd", then you really need to look at breaking up the input string into separate components (hint: strtok)

Hi,
I am using the GDI+ DrawString() function with a bounding rect
to control the string positioning. While everything looks
great on my view, when I try to print using the same code,
the strings look extremely out of proportion (much larger)
and they don't fit in my rectangles.
Any suggestions?

maybe you developped in "small fonts" and you tested the application on a system that displays "large fonts". It's usual.
You may create a base dialog that resizes the resources according to a given font (small/large and points). in this base dialog, overload the DoModal function. add the following code:
INT_PTR CBaseDialog::DoModal()
{
CDialogTemplate dlgt;
INT_PTR nResult;
// load dialog template
if (!dlgt.Load(MAKEINTRESOURCE(m_nIDTemplate)))
return -1;
// set the system font
dlgt.SetFont(m_strFontFaceName, m_nPointSize);
// get pointer to the modified dialog template
LPSTR pdata=(LPSTR) GlobalLock(dlgt.m_hTemplate);
// let MFC know that you are using your own template
m_lpszTemplateName=NULL;
InitModalIndirect(pdata);
// display dialog box
nResult=__super::DoModal();
// unlock memory object
GlobalUnlock(dlgt.m_hTemplate);
return nResult;
}
Normaly, according to the size of font, no matter it is large or small, with this overload of DoModal, your dialog boxes will always look the same on any resolutions. the controls will even resize themselves according to the font. if the font system settings change while your application is still running, you may restart your app to apply the new settings.
Best regards.
Bouli.

No, this is not a matter of large/small fonts, this is happening on the same computer on which I'm developing the program.
BTW, with regard to the small/large fonts problem, I do what most developers do, I simply don't support large fonts displays. 
Have no fear of perfection - You will never reach it

ok,
sorry I could not help you on the DrawString function. I use it in many of my projects, and I never had any problem with it.
I'm happy I could help you to support large/small fonts on your projects. Normally, aware developpers should support it. it's in the white papers of GUI's Windows.
Best regards.
Bouli.

How do you craete the font that you use to display the text? Post that code here, most likely cause.
Normally you create a device independent font of the same size like this:
int fontSize = -MulDiv(10, pDC->GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSY), 72);
This create a font on a DC with a size of 10. Regards of the DC's DPI
