Thank you.
if the plugin is a exe. I can just excute it.
but if the plugin is a dll component.
How could I know which interface to query?
because I only know the filename such as test.dll and the CLSID, I don't even know the IID_***.

You can use :

HINTERNET structure

Opening the internet Connection and inItialising WinInet function

Use the InternetOpen() function.

Now for postig and getting the data.
use: InternetOpenUrl() function

Before this Read the msdn for HINTERNET.

Color selection

sidkraft12-Jun-06 16:14

12-Jun-06 16:14

I am trying to initialize a "brush" in visual C++ and then call it back and changing the colors of RGB. My statments for initialization are:
CFrame::CFrame()
{
...
...
...
colorbar.CreateSolidBrush(RGB(a,b,c));
...
...
}
void CFrame::OnPaint()
{
CPaintDC dc(this);
dc.TextOut (5,40,"Red Color Is:");
//Output color frame
COLORREF(RGB(a,b,c));
a = x;
CRect rc(100,150,150,200);
dc.FillSolidRect(&rc,RGB(a,250,250));
}

No matter what I try, the colors only get defined
at initialize time and never change. Are there functions
in MFC that allow one to change the colors after
initialization and what are they? Please let me know at sid_kraft@msn.com. Thanks in advance, Sid Kraft

u can change the color of CBrush. u have to delete the previous brush before creating the new brush.

if( 0 != colorbar.m_hObject )
{
colorbar.DeleteObject();
}
colorbar.CreateSolidBrush(RGB(a,b,c));

CString pointers

I need to pass dereference a pointer so that I can obtain a CString. It seems to crash on the second function call. I think I'm not handling the deletion of the pointer correctly? What do you think? Thanks!

CString new_date;
BOOL new_date;

new_date = IsDate("4/5/07", &new_date);

int CDateTime::IsDate(CString datestr, CString * new_date_format)
{
CString month;
CString day;
CString year;

/* parse datestr */

CString revised_str = month + "/" + day + "/" + year;
*new_date_format = revised_str;
}

can someone please tell me how to change a font for a control in a dialog.
im a beginner and lost.
and when you format a CString like
CString temp;
temp.Format("%d", whatever);
where can i find all of the letters like the %d and what each does?

Locoone,

The following article describes changing the font.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q85518/

The format method for CString uses the same parameters as printf and sprintf. Here are the format specs:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore98/HTML/_crt_format_specification_fields_.2d_.printf_and_wprintf_functions.asp

In your case the '%d' is the format for a integer value. For example:

<code>int whatever = 10;
temp.Format("whatever = %d", whatever);</code>

Now temp stores the formatted string "whatever = 10".

CString::Format()
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vcmfc98/html/_mfc_member_functions_cstring.asp

CString class:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vcmfc98/html/_mfc_cstring_class_members.asp

This is pretty basic stuff. You should try to get a book on C++ and VC++ and MFC for beginners, and read through the MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) help files. Get a grasp of the basics.

unable to include cesync.h header

Hi!
First of all, sorry for my poor English and my stupidity.

I've been attempting to include the header file "cesync.h" in a vs2005 project and I don't know how the hell I'm getting lots of errors such as:

error C2065: '_JBLEN': undeclared identifier (file stdlib.h)
and many others...

About the code, all I have to say is that it's a new project (from scratch) and the include has been added before any other line in the .h auto-generated code. Thanks.

Win32 API - Tab Control Unhandled Exception Error

capricious_00112-Jun-06 8:57

12-Jun-06 8:57

Hi there,

I am creating an application where one dialog box has a tab control with multiple tabs. I am having difficulties setting it up and would appreciate anyone who can shine some light on the issue. The program runs perfectly with the other controls but when one of my DialogProcs are called via a pushbutton control I get an unhandled exception error. Below is the code for your perusal:

<br />
<br />
BOOL CALLBACK OptionsDialogProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)<br />
{<br />
	HWND tab1_hwnd, tab2_hwnd, CurrentTabHwnd;<br />
	int CurrentTabIndex;<br />
	HWND hwndTab;<br />
<br />
    switch(msg)<br />
    {<br />
		case WM_INITDIALOG:<br />
			{<br />
<br />
				LPSTR tab1_title = "General";<br />
				LPSTR tab2_title = "Advanced";<br />
<br />
				LPINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX tabctl;<br />
<br />
				tabctl->dwSize = sizeof(tabctl);<br />
				tabctl->dwICC = ICC_TAB_CLASSES;<br />
<br />
				InitCommonControlsEx(tabctl);<br />
<br />
				hwndTab = GetDlgItem(hwnd,IDC_TAB1);<br />
<br />
				TCITEM* ItemStruct;<br />
<br />
				ItemStruct->mask		   = TCIF_TEXT;<br />
				ItemStruct->pszText		   = tab1_title;<br />
				ItemStruct->cchTextMax     = sizeof(tab1_title);<br />
				ItemStruct->iImage	       = 0;<br />
				ItemStruct->lParam		   = 0;<br />
<br />
				SendMessage(hwndTab, TCM_INSERTITEM, 0, (LPARAM)ItemStruct);<br />
<br />
				ItemStruct->pszText    = tab2_title;<br />
				ItemStruct->cchTextMax = sizeof(tab2_title);<br />
<br />
				SendMessage(hwndTab, TCM_INSERTITEM, 1, (LPARAM)ItemStruct);<br />
<br />
				tab1_hwnd = CreateDialogParam(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_OPTIONS_GENERAL), hwndTab, General_OptionsDialogProc, 0);<br />
				tab2_hwnd = CreateDialogParam(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_OPTIONS_ADVANCED), hwndTab, Advanced_OptionsDialogProc, 0);<br />
				<br />
				CurrentTabIndex = 0;<br />
<br />
				if(!ShowWindow(tab1_hwnd,SW_SHOWDEFAULT))<br />
						MessageBox(hwnd, "Could not initiate InitCommonControlsEx command", "Error:", MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION);<br />
				<br />
<br />
<br />
			}<br />
		break;<br />
<br />
		case WM_NOTIFY:<br />
			{<br />
				switch(LOWORD(wParam)){<br />
					case TCN_SELCHANGE:<br />
						{<br />
							ShowWindow(CurrentTabHwnd, SW_HIDE);<br />
							CurrentTabIndex = SendMessage(hwndTab, TCM_GETCURSEL, 0, 0);<br />
<br />
							switch(CurrentTabIndex){<br />
								case 0:<br />
									ShowWindow(tab1_hwnd,SW_SHOWDEFAULT);<br />
									CurrentTabHwnd = tab1_hwnd;<br />
									break;<br />
								case 1:<br />
									ShowWindow(tab2_hwnd,SW_SHOWDEFAULT);<br />
									CurrentTabHwnd = tab1_hwnd;<br />
									break;<br />
							}<br />
<br />
							<br />
<br />
						}<br />
						break;<br />
					default:<br />
						return FALSE;					<br />
				}<br />
<br />
			}<br />
		break;<br />
<br />
		case WM_COMMAND:<br />
			{<br />
<br />
				switch(LOWORD(wParam)){<br />
<br />
					case IDOK:<br />
						EndDialog(hwnd,0);<br />
						break;<br />
					case IDCANCEL:<br />
						EndDialog(hwnd,0);<br />
						break;<br />
				}<br />
	<br />
			}<br />
        break;<br />
        case WM_CLOSE:<br />
            EndDialog(hwnd, 0);<br />
        break;<br />
<br />
        default:<br />
            return FALSE;<br />
    }<br />
    return 0;<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />

Running it through my debugger it appears that the program experiences an error at this location:

<br />
tabctl->dwSize = sizeof(tabctl);<br />
tabctl->dwICC = ICC_TAB_CLASSES;<br />

I have also included the resources as well:

<br />
<br />
IDD_OPTIONS DIALOG DISCARDABLE  0, 0, 271, 166<br />
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU<br />

    PUSHBUTTON      "Cancel",IDCANCEL,214,145,50,14<br />
    CONTROL         "Tab1",IDC_TAB1,"SysTabControl32",0x0,7,7,257,124<br />
END<br />
<br />
IDD_OPTIONS_GENERAL DIALOG DISCARDABLE  20, 15, 150, 60<br />
STYLE WS_CHILD<br />
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"<br />
BEGIN<br />
    GROUPBOX        "",IDC_STATIC,15,11,118,38<br />
    LTEXT           "General Tab",IDC_STATIC,53,26,44,8<br />
END<br />
<br />
<br />
IDD_OPTIONS_ADVANCED DIALOG DISCARDABLE  20, 15, 150, 60<br />
STYLE WS_CHILD<br />
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"<br />
BEGIN<br />
    GROUPBOX        "",IDC_STATIC,15,11,118,38<br />
    LTEXT           "Advanced Tab",IDC_STATIC,53,26,44,8<br />
END<br />
<br />

Everything looks to be correct so I am not sure as to what could be causing the issue. If this is of any help I am getting these compiler warnings as well:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\RS_Stats32\RS_Stats32.cpp(95) : warning C4700: local variable 'tabctl' used without having been initialized

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\RS_Stats32\RS_Stats32.cpp(146) : warning C4700: local variable 'tab2_hwnd' used without having been initialized

If you need some more information just give me a shout. Just FYI I am running on VC++ 6.0 on a WinXP machine.

Hey Led,

Thanks for your reply. I dereferenced the pointer but I am still receiving the same error. I checked on google and someone some how was able to get it working by doing this:

<br />
	LPINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX lpInitCommonControlsEx;<br />
<br />
	lpInitCommonControlsEx.dwSize = (LPINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX);<br />

I'm not sure how that would even work but the person had successful results. I tried it with my code and I received syntax errors so I don't believe thats correct.

Did you have another idea how I could fix this?

Thanks,

Robbie

Robbie, DavidCrow has your "fix". I would be more concerned that you are writing C/C++ code but do not understand "how" these things work, or don't, as the case may be. This is a very fundamental aspect of C/C++ development. You should take the time to understand this before continuing on with the project.
