First you must tell us what "Archive->Open" is. I've not seen it before so I don't know if it's a third-party program, or something related to your project.

You'll need to override CDocManager::DoPromptFileName(), which requires you to derive a class from CDocManager.

Crazy Corruptions In .RC Compilation

My company recently switched over from Vis 6.0 (thank the holy of holies..), but there is an odd corruption which occurs when a change occurs to the resources in the project. Multiple errors occur such as "STRINGTABLE not found" and other identifier-missing-type errors when compiling the newly changed .RC . Of particularly interesting note - in the current .RC file there exists an .MDB file, which if taken out of project prior to changing a resource, and compiling, will not cause such errors. I have NO IDEA what dependency might be linked to that - its pretty crazy... If anyone has a CLUE as to what I can do to keep this from happening, I would give my first child at this point...

How to not ower-paint others child windows in CDialog?

One CStatic child window is owner Drawn,
and paints self in OnPaint() handler.

But it always paints self over others child windows,
is there method to paint it under other child windows?

Tab-order not works?

Thanks

that is because the static control is over the other window.

I dont know what you are trying to do, but putting two controls over each other is not the right way to design any UI.

If you want to push the static control behind the other contorl then change the tab order of the control.

Design goal may different,
and not all you may understand before known,
to reject.

I made tab-oreder first for CStatic,
but it again stays on the top.

First of all you are in a problem and you dont know how to use the dialog editor to place the item on the screen properly and plus you have this attitude.

I did not reject ur design, All i said is the design is not proper and therefore not efficient and now you know why.

Problem with pasting newlines in a rtf editor based on dialog box

Why my editor doesn't paste newlines from clipboard when I copy from IE?And why a CEdit control pastes the newlines?
Thank you.

You want to look at your editor for the problem. I quickly fired up notepad, and it handled the
newlines when pasting from IE. Similarly, VC++6 handles them fine too.

If you've written your own editor, look at the code which handles the pasting. It may be that
IE just gives newlines, and you are expecting CR-LF (Carriage return / Line feed, or \r\n) pairs.

My apologies. I didn't read your subject line.

I added a rich text control to a dialog, and experienced the same problem as you.

You need to set the ES_MULTILINE style. Either manually, or by ticking the
"Multi Line" option on the Styles property page for the control.

slow AddNew in Access !

Hi all,

Explanation :
1. I add a new record to an Access table;
CMyTable test;
test.Open();
test.AddNew();
...
test.Update();
test.Close();
2. then, I want to fill a ListCtrl with ALL the record from this table
--> problem, the new record isn't present !
if I wait a little with a loop :
for(long i=0; i<1000000; i++); )
then the new record is here.

Is there another thing better ?
How can I do to be sure that the new Recordset will contain the new record ?

Without seeing the actual code, it's very hard to tell. Assuming your code is correct, it sounds like it might be a caching problem. Use

CDatabase db;
CMyTable test(&db);
TRY
{
    test.Open();
    test.AddNew();
    ...
    if (test.Update() != FALSE)
    {
        test.Requery();
        
        test.MoveFirst();
        while (! test.IsEOF())
            test.MoveNext();
    }
}
CATCH(CDBException, pDBException)
{
    AfxMessageBox(pDBException->m_strError);
}
END_CATCH
test.Close();

to see if any DB exceptions are lying in wait.

I do something like this, but there is no CException generated; it's just that the last Record isn't in the Recordset when I re-open it.

CMyRecordset MyRecord;
try
{
MyRecord.Open();
MyRecord.AddNew();
...
MyRecord.Close();

// then I call a function to fill a ListCtrl with all the data from the table
MyRecord.Open();
while(MyRecord.IsEOF() == FALSE)
{
MyListCtrl.Add();
MyRecord.MoveNext();
}
MyRecord.Close();
}
catch(CException *e)
{
...
}

--> I have to do a loop before I re-open the Recordset in the FillListCtrl() function otherwise the new Record isn't in the Recordset !

Set a breakpoint on the MyRecord.Open() statement. Then open the .mdb file and see if the record has been added. Otherwise, see if either of these MSDN articles help:

Problems with CMultiDocTemplate

slyone3-Mar-04 2:54

3-Mar-04 2:54

hi,
I've been working on a project with two documents types (one controlling a pair of cameras & their capture, one for DIBs). Implementation of the first document type (cameras) seemed to go smoothly, with its own;
- menu
- icon
- string table entry
- CDocument derived class
- CView derived class
- CMDIChildWnd derived class
This class also handles one message from a button on the toolbar. I've also set-up all aspects of the second document type (apart from it uses a standard ChildWnd at the mo) but as soon as I add it to the document template neither document type will start up. i.e. I'm not presented with an dialog option for which document type I want to start with. Has anyone got any ideas why this might be?? does it sound like I've put in dodgy string table entries or is it likely to be something else??

Cheers for any help

Dave

Dont worry about answering this post. I've found that the quickest & simplest way to fix the problem in my case was to just start again and re-import all the classes I've created. I'm gonna put it down to me messing with the string table entries and 'resource.h' but if I find a more specific reason will post it here.

CColorDialog "missing resource" crash problem

miobrad3-Mar-04 2:24

3-Mar-04 2:24

I have the following code, which causes a problem on some mashines where I tried to install and run the program which uses it:

CColorDialog dlg;
COLORREF selectedColor;
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK) {
selectedColor = dlg.GetColor();
//..
}
//..

Now, the problem occours while the ColorDialog is modaly opened. On some installations it will cause various part pallets and error messages relating to a "missing resource", at which point the system tends to lock up and Ctrl/alt/del is the only way out.

I do use the MFC Library in a shared DLL. My first guess was that it may be because of that, but I do not think so now.

I do not know which step to go next!?

Thanks for any help!

Service control error

The following code always fails

// get service information
int nSel = m_ctlListServices.GetSelectionMark();

if(nSel == -1)
{
return;
}
else
{
TCHAR szService[BUFF_LEN];
// get the text of second column
m_ctlListServices.GetItemText(nSel, 1, szService, BUFF_LEN);

SC_HANDLE hSCM = OpenSCManager(m_strPCName, NULL, SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS);
SC_HANDLE hService = OpenService(hSCM, szService, SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS);

// stop service
if(ControlService(hService,SERVICE_CONTROL_STOP,NULL)==0)
{
m_strMessage.LoadString(IDS_SERVICE_STOP_ERROR);
m_strTitle.LoadString(IDS_ERROR);
MessageBox(m_strMessage, m_strTitle, MB_OK|MB_ICONERROR);
}
// refresh
OnBrefresh();

CloseServiceHandle(hService);
CloseServiceHandle(hSCM);
}

The service can accept stop, the program is running on administrator account, I just don't have idea why the stop function is failing Frown | :(

Help!

First of all, you should be calling GetLastError to figure out why the call to ControlService fails (note that it is important to call GetLastErorr *immediately* after the ControlService call):

// stop service
if(ControlService(hService,SERVICE_CONTROL_STOP,NULL)==0)
{
  DWORD error = ::GetLastError();

...
}

Then either step through with a debugger, or output the error code in the message box, and see what it is. You can look it up in Visual Studio (there is an "Error lookup" in the "Tools" menu) and get more info.
