If you're on an NT OS, you can use the VC resource editor. Click File->Open, select the DLL, and pick Open As: Resource. Then make whatever change you want and save.

How can i display my own tooltips using VC. I am talking about the ones such as function declarations that VC displays in the IDE.

Any help will be appreciated

Sorry, I haven't my source code on this computer at the moment Frown | :-(

But you can create Tooltips with the "CreateWindowEx" function, then you
need to specify something like WC_TOOLTIP or perhaps "TOOLTIP32" as window class -- take a look at the Win32.hlp - it is being described there

Hi,

It would be great if somebody can help me with this doubt.

My main target is :In order to list the patches and their dependancies on the target machine(for ex:my machine):
Should I have to go through the path -

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\

When I went through this path.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
I am able to get a list of hot fixes .
What are hot fixes and are these patched?

When I went through this path.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\
I am able to see 3 entries-
Data Access
Windows 2000
Windows MEDIA pLAYER
And under Windows 2000 -I am seeing 2 entries SP4 and SP5.

Is SP4 is the list of service packs?
Is SP5 is the list of updates?
SP5 has a folder called FileList.

This folder when I click shows some dlls on the right pane.
Are these dependancies?I mean dependancies which these patches depend?

Pls guide.

GUI: Title bar

Hello every body

After i read an article about "A Technique to Customize the Title Bar of Windows" By Junlei Li
on code project (WTL).
I decide to write in to MFC DLL, a set of classes: Button, Edit..., and Customize the title bar.

But i have got a problem with title bar: Firt i remove the title bar of the parent, and then I
create a window to replace it (WS_VISIBLE | WS_POPUP | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_CLIPCHILDREN).
It works Ok on Frame (the window is mainframe or child frame), but on Dialog, the Substitute title
is not correct, it doesn't appear the same place as the Original title that i had removed.
I'm sure that the x,y position is absolutely right ( because it work ok on Frame). I consider that the WS_POPUP is the main resaon cause the problem (is it true)

Any one could help me ?, After i finish this dll, i will post on codeproject (I promise)

Thanks alot

TrungHuynh.

C++ Function template help

Indrawati30-May-04 17:16

30-May-04 17:16

Hi I have created a template function as follows:

template <typename T> perform(int iTotal)
{
vector<T> vec;
for(int i = 0; i < iTotal; i++)
{
vec.push_back(T());
}
}

and I call the function in main() using the following:

perform<double>(1000);

The program compiles and links without any error, but when I run it, I always get the message: Instruction at "0x...." referenced memory at "0x...". The memory could not be written!

Could someone tell me what I did wrong, and how I can rectify it?

BTW, if I changed the function definition to

template <typename T> perform(int iTotal, T NoUse);

where NoUse is not used at all in the function, the program runs perfectly. My only gripe is that the solution does not seem elegant.

Thanks!

Not sure if this will help, however try supplying a return value to prevent the compiler from defaulting it to int. This behaviour was only supported in older compilers (I'm assuming you're using VC6)

template <typename T> 
void perform(int iTotal)
{
    vector<T> vec;
    for(int i = 0; i < iTotal; i++)
    {
        vec.push_back(T());
    }
}

Make sure the constructor for T isn't doing anything it shouldn't - this won't be a problem if you're using double's however.

Do you have a complete compilable example to post?

Your function as it exists is obviously pointless, and even if it weren't is equivalent to calling resize on the vector, which seems rather more direct.

Hi My intention was to analyze the performance of STL vector insertion, how long does it take to insert e.g. 10 million doubles, ints, strings, etc., hence the code.

I think your GPF is a consequence of the compiler rather than the code.

But I don't think you're going to learn anything interesting about vector per se from this type of test. The dominant factor will be allocation and reallocation. Any real usage where you know how big you want the vector would call reserve first. And if you want to get to very large arrays of ordinary types then reverting to new/delete and manual management of length is probably going to be notably more efficient.

CWebBrowser OnResizeTo event?

Is it possible to handle the javascript resizeTo() and moveTo() events in a custom CWebBrowser2 control? I can not seem to catch this event. Any ideas?

Try this, but this is not CWebBrowser2 control. It is a custom view.

CFile::Open Timeout's??

shultas30-May-04 15:23

30-May-04 15:23

Hey all.

I'm using CFile to access some files across a network share. It works great when the servers are all online, however if one of the servers goes offline, the CFile::Open will try to open the file across it for 30-60 seconds (which is too long for this app that I'm building).

I am wondering if there is a way to set a default open timeout .... so it will try for say, 5 seconds, and if it can't get it, it fails and returns false?

TIA!!

Access key

Hi,
I assign a access key to a control, ex. &access.
But besides Alt-A and A, Ctrl-A ,Shift-A, and 1+A, ... all recive WM_COMMAND. Is this by default ? and how do I disable them?

Re: Access key

Anthony_Yio31-May-04 0:51

Anthony_Yio

31-May-04 0:51

(From MSDN)

The WM_COMMAND message is sent when the user selects a command item from a menu, when a control sends a notification message to its parent window, or when an accelerator keystroke is translated.

Accelerator keystrokes that select items from the window menu are translated into WM_SYSCOMMAND messages.

You can assign you own accelerator keystroke to other keys like Ctrl A to correspond to your needed menu?

Thanks, but I need to disable ctrl- and shift- instead of enable them. All articles I searched about access key in MSDN, don't mention that ctrl- and shift- are access keys, so I doubt that ctrl- and shift- are by default.

sending messages to the main window

kfaday30-May-04 14:32

Hello!
I've got this thread function and in the postmessage line i'd like to send a message to the main view of the program. (it's an MFC project).

<br />
DWORD WINAPI CHilos::ThreadProc(LPVOID objeto)<br />
{<br />
	CHilos* thread=(CHilos*)objeto;<br />
	while (thread->Alive)<br />
	{<br />
		while((thread->Alive)&&(thread->Active))<br />
		{<br />
			thread->Work();<br />
		}<br />
	}<br />
	::PostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_ONFINISH, 0, 0);<br />
	return true;<br />
}

The project is called hiloss, and in hilossView.cpp i declared in the message map:

ON_MESSAGE(WM_ONFINISH, OnThreadended)

and then in the same file there's the definition of the OnThreadended function.

The problem is with the postmessage is that the message never reaches the top window, actually when i debug the project, it never gets into the OnThreadended function.

Is HWND_BROADCAST ok? i think there's the problem. I want to send a message to the ChilossView class, which is the main window of the project, but i don't know how.

thanks!!

Ryan Binns30-May-04 18:07

HWND_BROADCAST won't send the message to your view. It sends the message to all the top-level windows in the system. In MFC, this is the instance of your CMainFrame class. You'll either have to the send the message to your view directly, or handle the message in CMainFrame.

Hope this helps,

Ryan

When is OnThreadended been called? in WM_ONFINISH?

And the OnThreadended will call the ThreadProc which will post WM_ONFINISH?

Seems like an deadlock for me.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
