Seems you can only catch the WM_ERASEBKGND message in WindowProc of your CView.
snip:
LRESULT CMyView::WindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM)
{
if ( message == WM_ERASEBKGND )
MessageBox("erase");
return CFormView::WindowProc(message, wParam, lParam);
}

It's OnEraseBkgnd() not OnERASEBKGND().

Tabs and List Control Box??

Aoife12-Apr-02 4:54

12-Apr-02 4:54

The following code to populate a List Control Box with data from a database when a button is pressed works successfully when the List Control Box is placed on the main IDD_DIALOG. However when the List Control Box and button is placed on a tab, eg IDD_TAB1 the program hangs when the button is pressed.
(The header files "afxdb.h" and "odbcinst.h" are included in both the mainDlg.cpp and Tab1Dlg.cpp)

Any ideas as to why this is happening?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I try it. no problems!

maybe you should look:
1. use IsBOF before while ( oracle happen error when the recordset is empty)
2. sure Close Database at any condition

An interesing problem with CDialogBar

User 988512-Apr-02 4:42

I have a CDialogBar instance docked on CFrameWnd derived class. If I undock the dialog bar and close it, then the 'x' on the right top of the FrameWnd does not close the window. It has no effect. Infact, it seems that the whole title bar gets disabled.

Interestingly this does not happen, when I hide the dialogbar through a menu item using the 'ShowControlBar' API.

Have you guys come across this before?

Thanks for any help

HELP - Program crashes in Release Mode

After recompiling program for release mode, the program crashes on startup
in Kernel32.DLL. I get the following error message:

First-chance exception in tachmate.exe (KERNEL32.DLL): 0xC0000005: Access Violation.

Any clue as how to attack this would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Re: HELP - Program crashes in Release Mode

did you verify that the arguments and compiling options are the same in debug and in release mode?

if yes, it's perhaps because release mode is faster than debug, so if you have a multithreaded app, it could crash because a threads are not launch at the same times.

wish that would help

Turn on debugging information in release mode. However, make sure you keep optimizations turned on.

the slow way: sprinkle file writes through out your program that say things like "I'm in function CFoo::DoFoo with params X, Y and Z". have these all go to the same file (appending to the file). you can use one of the many file logging classes here on CP for this.

the fast way: go to Project / Settings. in the C/C++ section, General category, change optimizations to Disabel (Debug); change Debug info to "Program Database for Edit and Continue" or "C7 Compatible". On the Link tab, check "Generate Debug Info". now, rebuild your app and debug it as you would a "Debug" build. be sure to change everything back, for your real release.

Configure your release build with debugging symbols, then run it through the debugger. I suggest:

1- After compiling the release version, run it outside the debugger. When it crashes, choose <Cancel> in the window in order to start the debugger. The debugger will point you at the point it crashes. Use the drop-down to navigate in the call stack.

2- If you didn't figure out right away what went wrong, you at least have a better idea of where to put your break points. Now you can run it inside the debugger.

AS a side note, this happens probably because the debug version of malloc puts guard bytes before and after the memory allocated, which it does not do for the non-debug version.

Hmmm.... I was always under the impression (and experience) that the VC++ optimizer could do some strange things, so would it not make sense to have them turned off when trying to debug a release-only problem? Just to be sure that optimizations are not causing the problem?

Peace!

To all that have answered so far, Thanks.

Let me clarify a little more. The program is crashing during loading
of "Kernel32.DLL" before it is even getting to "WinApp". There is no
source code except assembly for this level of code. Something has
probably been screwed up in the environment; ie, from the program
crashing the AP-Studio.

Thanks again.

Then I bet you have global instances of some classes that are causing the crash when the application starts.

Console questions

Hi.

My MFC dialog app is using a console for dumping some boring status info. I AllocConsole() to get it.

Is there a way I can capture the user clicking the close [X] button on the console? and handle it?

Thanks

Jon

Sorry to dissapoint you all with my lack of a witty or poignant signature.

Re: Console questions

lucy12-Apr-02 4:39

You might find your answer by looking at these help from MSDN:
AllocConsole (the console you allocated for your process)
GetStdHandle (get the handle of the above console) ( STD_INPUT_HANDLE)
Reading Input Buffer Event
mouse_event
and the MOUSEEVENT_XDOWN should be the event you interested in.
good luck!

Inhibe the ENTER and ESC KEYS ?

Hi,
I created a project. I deleted the OK and CANCEL buttons. But when I execute my project and I press the ESC or ENTER KEYS, the project is stopped.

How can I do for inhibe this KEYS?

Best Regards

I have this problem before as well. Although the button is not there, but you still have invisible OnOK() and OnCancel() function working for you! would you say it a feature or a bug? Wink | ;)

what I did is to overwrite the above two functions, and say if these two buttons don't have input focus, just return. Something like this:
if ( GetFocus() != GetDlgItem(IDOK))
return;
else
CDialog::OnOK();

you have to write and add these functions to your project:

void CMyproject::OnCancel(){
}

void CMyproject::OnOk(){
}

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