WM_DEVICECHANGE
The WM_DEVICECHANGE device message notifies an application of a change to the hardware configuration of a device or the computer.
A window receives this message through its WindowProc function.

But that's not I want. I am not plugging in any devices to watch for WM_DEVICECHANGE message. I just want to force a device manager refresh ( just as we do manually in the control panel-device manager-scan for hardware changes but programatically)

Yeah, so send it a WM_DEVICECHANGE message - it will catch it and think something has changed, so will refresh.

Hi!

Here's what I have:

HWND window = GetDlgItem(hDlg, IDC_TREE);

TVINSERTSTRUCT tvInsert;
tvInsert.item.mask = TVIF_TEXT;
tvInsert.item.pszText = _T("Parent");

HTREEITEM hTreeItem = (HTREEITEM)SendMessage(window,TVM_INSERTITEM,0,(LPARAM) (LPTVINSERTSTRUCT) &tvInsert);
SendMessage(window,TVM_INSERTITEM,0,(LPARAM) (LPTVINSERTSTRUCT) &tvInsert);

tvInsert.hParent = hTreeItem;
tvInsert.item.pszText = _T("Child");
SendMessage(window,TVM_INSERTITEM,0,(LPARAM) (LPTVINSERTSTRUCT) &tvInsert);

SendMessage(window,TVM_EXPAND, (WPARAM)(UINT)TVE_EXPAND,(LPARAM) (HTREEITEM) &hTreeItem);

BUuuuut.. the tree doesn't expand for some reason. I've tried collapsing it first then expanding, same thing, it just won't expand.

This line is wrong, it should read:
SendMessage(window, TVM_EXPAND, TVE_EXPAND, reinterpret_cast<LPARAM>(hTreeItem));

In particular you have a "&hTreeItem" where you should have just a "hTreeItem". I couldn't resist removing the old style C casts and replacing them with function style casts (which IMHO should be used in practically all new C++ code).

Is there a specific size for a 2 dimentional array

Is there a specific size for the elements in a 2 dimentional array .
I mean can I use an array with this matrix [100][5] or No .

If I understand your question correctly the answer is yes. All elements in any array are the same size. Accessing a 2 dimensional array as you described is simply a matter of indexing it properly. Assuming you've declared your array as:

int nArray[100][5];

You could assign x to any element in the array with any of the following methods:

<br />
int i, j, x;<br />
<br />
x = nArray[75][4];<br />
for(i=0; i<100; i++)<br />
{<br />
   for(j=0; j<5; j++)<br />
   {<br />
      x = nArray[i][j];<br />
      // ... do something with x;<br />
   }<br />
}<br />

However, unlike in BASIC you can't access element nArray[100][5]. Array access is always zero relative.

Hope this helps...

I know this is not the one you are looking for but still this could help you. This is for listbox.

How to gray out a control

I need to gray-out an Edit Box, Pushbutton and Check Box.
I know how to show and hide it with ShowWindow()

GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTT_testupload)->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);

but how do I gray it out so that it is inactive but
still gray-visible to the User?

Many thanks,

VS2005 Compiles Wrong Files

Swinefeaster31-Jan-06 6:18

31-Jan-06 6:18

LOL when I right click on one file in the Solution Explorer and hit "Compile", it compiles a different file! Then when I build that project, certain modules seem like they are missing... Sometimes it only compiles a single file when I hit Rebuild.

Anyone seen this behaviour?

I think I've found a way around it --- I create a new project and add all those files into it, but it's a real hassle. I imported these projects from VC6, so maybe that's the problem?

thanks,

STL conflict

Hi,

i've included various projects(60) in my workspace and
i've used objectspace-STL within these, since now. I don't know if i have installed
software that damaged the state or something else, but from now i have to set the linker switch "ignore all standard lib.", that it would work - compile and link.

I get following fault, if I don't set it:

: error LNK2001: Nichtaufgeloestes externes Symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall std::_Winit::~_Winit(void)" (__imp_??1_Winit@std@@QAE@XZ)

So I looked for _Winit and find out that my DLL needs msvcp60.dll to work. I know this dll, it's for
MS C++ Runtime Library. But the question is:

How can i use objectspace-stl again and how can i ban this dll ?

Anyone who has experience how could i solve the problem ?

Thanks in advance

What is the difference between HANDLE and HWND ?

Re: What is the difference between HANDLE and HWND ?

Dethulus31-Jan-06 4:23

Well that's basically it. An HWND is used to reference API functions that relate to Windows, everything from message processing to device contexts, etc. HWND and HANDLE are not interchangable, although as data types the value of one can certainly be assigned to the other.

The purpose of each is very similar. When you use CreateWindow, the operating system allocates an area that references that Window's characteristics, but essentially puts that area in a "black box", providing access to it through API calls, but not as a direct structure. This gives the writers of the operating system (Microsoft, in this case) the flexibility to change that internal structure any way they want to in the future without impacting the behavior of applications that use it. They only have to change the implementation of the function hooks. Essentially this practice (and other types of handles) was one of the first large-scale implementations of object oriented encapsulation.

Just my thoughts...

Memory DC

I can manipulate text and images on a regular device context. When I try, however, to do the same in a memory dc and "blit" it to my display dc all I get is black image.

I am sure it is a simple setting that I am forgeting but I can figure it out, for the life of me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
