How can we get the capture text from any part of ui. E.g. in case if we have window that has some third party child control, now I want to extract the text from that control, OR in I.E. there is an applet and that applet is containing text, I want to extract text out of that applet. I do not want to use any specific library of applet or for that matter third party control. I believe, we need to first get image of that window(bmp), but then from that bmp how to convert in editable text?

If we're talking about windows that are actually textual windows such as edit boxes and similar, you can use ::ChildWindowFromPoint and/or ::WindowFromPoint and ::GetWindowText.
Otherwise I suggest you get yourself a nice OCR-library that recognizes the characters in the bitmap you caught.
Hope this helps

My aim is to repeatedly call a function, display the return values in an edit box, when i press a button. This should stop when i press another function.
I kept the function call and the display in an while loop which checks for the condition if the 2nd button has been pressed.
But it didnt work. The application hung. Maybe bcos the while loop never ended.
How will i go about it?
Say the function tat i want to call repeatedly is CalculateVolts() and UpdateData(FALSE) is used to update the edit box.
This is what i did.
<br />
OnButton1(){<br />
while(flag_button2!=1){ int retVal = CalculateVolts();<br />
m_editVal.Format("%f",f); UpdateData(FALSE);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
But since the application hung i cud never press Button2.<br />

1) You need to start a worker thread and in that the while(button2) should be waiting
2) Now in handler of Button2 , use CCriticalSection to set the value to button2 = 1
Your code did not work becasue
1) it is not multithreaded
2) as you said the control never went out of while() loop

1. Or the simpler way is just put sleep after UpdateData(FALSE)
Sleep(1000)

Sleep also locks exicution. If you have another thread it will allow that thread to run but it won't allow for what he is looking for.

Hello,
Your control handler never leaves execution. This means that no message gets processed after you press button1.
You can solve this problem by posting a message to your own window after the call to UpdateData().

In OnButton1, create a timer (i.e. SetTimer) with a delay of 1 millisecond. Let OnButton1 return. Inside the OnTimer method, update the edit control. Do not kill the timer. Inside of OnButton2, add a call to KillTimer to stop the timer.
This is very simple method of doing what you ask without having to create new threads or anything complicated. Since timer events are very low priority, the edit box will be allowed to update and the UI will continue to pump messages.

If you kill the timer in the OnTimer method then start it again after the edit control is updated. This guarantees a 1msec delay between actions, otherwise you could get a queue of timer events in the time all the processing takes.

thank you.
I used the timer idea and it actually worked

AFAIK WM_TIMER, like WM_PAINT, is a low priority and does not queue. A WM_TIMER message is only posted when the message queue is empty.

This is correct. This is handled by the kernel and there will never be any WM_PAINT or WM_TIMER messages in the thread's message queue.
Regarding timers it's ridiculous even thinking that such a timer will have a period time of 1ms. Windows is not a real-time OS.
What will happen is that you will not get multiple WM_TIMER messages in the queue, BUT the WM_TIMER handler won't get called in the rate you expected.
You can simply verify this by the use of ::QueryPerformanceCounter and logging the rate that the handler is actually called.

I can see the usage of ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI here in mainfrm.cpp
ON_COMMAND(ID_FILE_PRINT, OnIDFilePrint)
ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(ID_FILE_PRINT, OnUpdateFilePrint)
here OnIDFilePrint() is called when I click on the "Print" toolbar button .
But as I am new to usage of pCmdUI etc , I dont know how to disable the 6th button - print button in this toolbar .....

For achieving same you have to have handller for each of toolbar button... and implement the coding for individual

Hi alok
I did not get it ...
In fact in my code (9000 files) , I can see this print button disabled /enabled during runtime based on some inputs ...
But I am not able to find out the particular code which send a message to disable the print icon/button ....I have been searching for something stright like EnableWindow(0) ...and found the mechanism is very different ...
Any clues of diabling a toolbar button which uses this pCmdUI interface ?

Could you show me current coding of OnUpdateFilePrint HANDLLER for On_update_Command_UI ..

I think any button can be disabled by getting a pointer to it and calling EnableWindow()

In the on_update handler for ID_FILE_PRINT, use:
void OnUpdateFilePrint( CCmdUI *pCmdUI )
{
pCmdUI->Enable(FALSE);
}

The USB flash disk have no CHS parameters (the system use virtual parameters),I only need to get teh total sectors for physical drive. The MBR and BOOT may be failure. so your function is invalid. ,how to do it? Thanks.

Hi,
Could you please elaborate the question?
Are you looking for the Sector information of the Physical drives i.e Hard disk or USB disk??
|
|
|
|
|
I want to get the disk size for every physical disk. The CHS parameter is true for harddisk,but wrong for USB flash disk. Becase the system assume that's X*255*63,the total sectors are also wrong. I dont know what function can I use.

Hi As per my knowledge, You can open any disk (using CreateFile(DriveName,....)and after reading the first sector of the disk you will get Boot record of the same from there I feel you can get the size of the disk
Otherwise harddisk has Master boot table from where you can get the partitions and their sizes.If you want to open a physical drive you can open it using the CreateFile("\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE0",....) for the harddisk.and after reading the MBT you can get the drive information .If you want to use the WINDOWS api then you can use GetDiskFreeSpace() API and pass NULL as a root directory it will return you the TOTAL number of clusters,multiply it with the Sectores per cluster and bytes per sector.You will get the disk size.

Hi all,
I am writing a simple application in VS.NET 2003 which uses my own dll (vz.dll). The dll is for my C++ library which the application uses. See the scenario below:
app (my own application) --> uses vz.dll (a C++ API exporting its class functions, my own classes). I am building the DLL with /MTd flag enabled rather than using flag /MDd. Also I am calling the constructor within the DLL with new.
Debugging the application, when I exit the application I do deletion of my data(calling delete on an instance created using new) I get the following exception with the stack trace
Unhandled exception at 0x7c822583 in app.exe: User breakpoint
ntdll.dll!7c87512a()
ntdll.dll!7c8754d1()
ntdll.dll!7c8409a8()

Line 1132 + 0x9 C

Line 1070 + 0xd C

0x10 C++
vzclient.dll!vzTMRenderAction::`scalar deleting destructor'() +
0x3c C++
app.exe!CleanVolumizer() Line 438 + 0x34 C++
I commented out the deletion of the data which was causing this. After which I am still getting the same exception
Unhandled exception at 0x7c822583 in app.exe: User breakpoint.
But now the location of exeption has shifted to dbgheap.c when the _CrtIsValidHeapPointer returns.
Though it seems to me a heap corruption but I have no clue why it is happening and where. I also tried using gflags utility but not of much use.
Please help me, I am stuck.
Any help/ suggestion is welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Divick
