What's Involved in Deploying an MFC 8.0 app?

Hi,

I have just discovered that it appears to be 10 times more complicated to deploy a VS 2005 app than one from VS 2003. WTF | :WTF:

Now the docs say I have to worry about manifests, shared assemblies, isolated assemblies, and private assemblies. Confused | :confused:

What is the simplest way to deploy an MFC 8.0 app ?? It doesn't need to share any dlls with any other app, it's not COM, and there is no managed code in it.

If it's statically linked to the MFC libraries then you only have to distribute the exe. If it's dynamically linked to MFC then you have to distribute the MFC libraries with it.

Why is common sense not common?

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert.

SetWindowsHookEx problem

return nCode<0 ? CallNextHookEx(hh,nCode,wParam,lParam):0;

thats the only line for GetMsgProc (WH_GETMESSAGE).
And it blocks language switching... neither ALT+SHIFT nor mouse switching
works
Why ????

This is the general parrern I use for my hook procedures:

LRESULT CALLBACK CBTProc(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
     LRESULT res = CallNextHookEx(g_hHook, nCode, wParam, lParam);
     // Do stuff here.
     return res;
}</code>

You should always call the next hook in the hook chain unless you want to stop other hooks from processing the event - I suspect the language switching is implemented as a hook and you're not giving it a chance to process the event.

I fixed it.
The problem was not in HOOKS

my dll had one SHARED section named ".hdata", i renamed it and now it works!

But why it did not work with ".hdata" ???

I am developing a directshow filter to add effect to a song. I want to add the effect like this that at the beginning, the volume goes up gradually to normal, till the end, the volume decrease gradually to zero. I know the structure of the filter, but I am not familiar with audio control. Thanks for any information about implementation of the audio volume control.

Socket problem and sending packets

Hi there,
I am new in Socket programming and I need to develop a code to be able to connect to two different places and exchange information (send a packet to one location and gets back the answer and again sends that packet answers to two different locations through socket and one of these location is supposed to store information).
Could ay one guide me in this? I appreciate any ideas.

Buffer Size and Other Parameters!

Hi I've got this code and I am trying to implement a thread with it.
Could someone tell me what are the sizes of the input and output buffer and their durations ? Are these parameters fixed or can be manipulated ?
What other parameters are being used in this code which can be manipulated ?
What is the rate at which samples are being played from output.

Code :

HRESULT __fastcall TDSFilter::InitDirectSound()
{
HRESULT hr;

Without needlessly looking though hundreds of lines of code, what buffers are you referring to?

In the future, post just the relevant code and you'll stand a better chance of receiving help.

CToolTipCtrl in modeless dialog ???

Hi,

I have a problem while using a CToolTipCtrl in a modeless dialog. I have created the tooltip the standard way:

BOOL CMyDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
m_pTip = new CToolTipCtrl();
m_pTip->Create(this, TTS_ALWAYSTIP);
m_pTip->SetMaxTipWidth(250);
m_pTip->AddTool(GetDlgItem(IDC_SOMETHING), "Something");
m_pTip->Activate(TRUE);
}

BOOL CMyDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
if(m_pTip != NULL)
m_pTip->RelayEvent(&msg);
}

If I create the dialog modeless the tooltip isn't shown. If I create the dialog modal it works fine!
Can someone help me please?

Hi, me again...

I have done several tests in the meantime and unfortunatelly there is still a small problem with the tooltip.
To setup the tooltips for the modeless dialog in my dll I use this function:
//////////////////////////////////////////
void CMyDialog::SetToolTip(CWnd* pWnd, LPCTSTR lpszText)
{
if((pWnd != NULL) && (m_pTip != NULL)){
TOOLINFO ti;
ti.cbSize = sizeof(TOOLINFO);
ti.lpszText = (LPTSTR)lpszText;
ti.hinst = AfxGetInstanceHandle();
ti.hwnd = pWnd->m_hWnd;
ti.uFlags = TTF_SUBCLASS | TTF_IDISHWND;
ti.uId = (UINT)pWnd->m_hWnd;
m_pTip->SendMessage(TTM_ADDTOOL, 0, (LPARAM)&ti);
}
}
//////////////////////////////////////////

This works without (!) any call to CMyDialog::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg). But I need this call, because there is an MFC bug with tooltips for disabled controls and I used in my modal dialogs this code:

//////////////////////////////////////////
BOOL CMyDialog::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
TRACE("PreTranslateMessage\n");

if(m_pTip != NULL){
// The following code is a workaround for a MFC tooltip bug which
// prevents the popup of a tooltip for a disabled control in a modal dialog.

// Transate the message based on TTM_WINDOWFROMPOINT
MSG msg = *pMsg;
msg.hwnd = (HWND)m_pTip->SendMessage(TTM_WINDOWFROMPOINT, 0, (LPARAM)&msg.pt);
CPoint pt = pMsg->pt;
if((msg.message >= WM_MOUSEFIRST) && (msg.message <= WM_MOUSELAST))
::ScreenToClient(msg.hwnd, &pt);
msg.lParam = MAKELONG(pt.x, pt.y);

// Let the ToolTip process this message.
m_pTip->RelayEvent(&msg);
} // if
return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}
//////////////////////////////////////////

Then I tried to use the message hook which was neccessary to use accellerators in CMyDialog:

//////////////////////////////////////////
// Hook procedure for WH_GETMESSAGE hook type.
LRESULT CALLBACK GetMessageProc(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
// If this is a keystrokes message, translate it in controls'
// PreTranslateMessage().
LPMSG lpMsg = (LPMSG)lParam;

if((nCode >= 0) &&
(PM_REMOVE == wParam) &&
(lpMsg->message >= WM_KEYFIRST && lpMsg->message <= WM_KEYLAST) &&
(AfxGetApp()->PreTranslateMessage((LPMSG)lParam)) == TRUE){
// The value returned from this hookproc is ignored, and it cannot
// be used to tell Windows the message has been handled. To avoid
// further processing, convert the message to WM_NULL before
// returning.
lpMsg->message = WM_NULL;
lpMsg->lParam = 0L;
lpMsg->wParam = 0;
}

if((nCode >= 0) &&
(PM_REMOVE == wParam) &&
(lpMsg->message >= WM_MOUSEFIRST && lpMsg->message <= WM_MOUSELAST) &&
(AfxGetApp()->PreTranslateMessage((LPMSG)lParam)) == TRUE){

// Do nothing ???

}
// Passes the hook information to the next hook procedure in
// the current hook chain.
return ::CallNextHookEx(g_hHook, nCode, wParam, lParam);
}
//////////////////////////////////////////

When I use the above code the tooltips for disabled controls work, but something with the mosemessage handling is wrong, because CCombobox Controls can't be opened.

Does anyone kwon how to solve my problem ?? I think somehow I must call RelayEvent of the tooltip.

THX

I had the same issue.
And now, thanks to your suggestion it works.

I switched from:

m_toolTip.AddTool(this,ttwtext.c_str(),cr,1);

TOOLINFO ti;

ti.cbSize = sizeof(TOOLINFO);
ti.lpszText = (LPTSTR)last_ttwtext.c_str();
ti.hinst = AfxGetInstanceHandle();
ti.hwnd = this->GetSafeHwnd();
ti.uFlags = TTF_SUBCLASS | TTF_IDISHWND;
ti.uId = (UINT) this->GetSafeHwnd();

m_toolTip.SendMessage(TTM_ADDTOOL, 0, (LPARAM) &ti);

Thanks!

I have a CArray of structs and I would like to sort my multiple members of the struct. Say it's a person struct and I want to sort by last name & age. Or maybe last name, first name, and age. Anyone have a clue how to do this?

Thanks

Hi,
Will this Suffice , then implement the callback

// call the functions: First sort with name
qsort(qsortdata, count, sizeof(struct Person), qsort_callbackName);
// then sort the required ones age etc
qsort(qsortdata, count-noidfiles, sizeof(struct Person), qsort_callbackAge);

(IMHO)
