I think it's not possible to change the focus-behavior with WM_LBUTTONDOWN alone.
I'll try to describe it again:
What I want is a top-level window that don't gets activated when you use, click on it etc. That means, the parent windows title bar should not be grayed. Consider a (context-)menu for example. When you use it, its (parent) window doesn't get deactivated (I assume that menus are implemented as top-level windows, correct me if I'm wrong)

Well, i've done it. You need to keep in mind what you're going for though; for instance, when you first create the window, show it by calling ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE).
Alternately, you could try something like the technique demonstrated in this article...

"Well, i've done it"
Well, how?
Could you tell me how to do it concretely? I told you, I've tried several thinks, and I have no idea how to do it.

Hi all,
I am using VS.NET 2005, and MFC.
I've created a drived class CMyRichEditCtrl (derives from CRichEditCtrl)
in my init instance of the dialog based application i call : "AfxInitRichEdit2()" (as should be!)
I've dragged a rich edit control into my dialog and in the ddx i gave it a control name (m_MyEdit).
now, in the OnInitDialog i use:
CHARFORMAT cf;
cf.cbSize = sizeof(CHARFORMAT);
cf.dwMask = CFM_COLOR;
GetSelectionCharFormat(cf);
cf.crTextColor = RGB(255,0,0);
SetSelectionCharFormat(cf);
m_Edit.SetWindowText(_T("This is a test"));
i can see the text but it is not colored???
same way i tried to change the text font :
CHARFORMAT cf;
cf.cbSize = sizeof(cf);
cf.dwMask = CFM_FACE | CFM_SIZE;
cf.yHeight = 20 * 14;
_tcscpy(cf.szFaceName,_T("Tohoma"));
SetSelectionCharFormat(cf);
still nothing...just plain text...
what am i doing wrong?
thanks in advanced
Yaron

You first need to set the text (using SetWindowText for example, as you did), then select the text that you want to format and call SetSelectionCharFormat for that selection. After this, you normally restore the selection to something normal, like no selection.
Example:
m_Edit.SetWindowText(_T("This is a test"));
m_Edit.SetSel(0, -1);
CHARFORMAT cf;
cf.cbSize = sizeof(CHARFORMAT);
cf.dwMask = CFM_COLOR;
GetSelectionCharFormat(cf);
cf.crTextColor = RGB(255,0,0);
SetSelectionCharFormat(cf);
m_Edit.SetSel(0, 0);

Best method is to derive a class from CWinThread and design it to do all your work. Then add two messages:
#define WM_THREAD_START (WM_USER + number)
#define WM_THREAD_QUIT (WM_USER + number)
then add 2 handlers:
ON_THREAD_MESSAGE(WM_THREAD_QUIT, OnQuit)
ON_THREAD_MESSAGE(WM_THREAD_START, OnStart)
Start the thread:
m_pYourthread->CreateThread(CREATE_SUSPENDED,0,0)
m_pYourthread->ResumeThread();
This allows you to start and stop the thread simply by doing:
PostThreadMessage(m_pYourthread->m_nThreadID,WM_THREAD_START,0,0)
or
PostThreadMessage(m_pYourthread->m_nThreadID,WM_THREAD_QUIT,0,0)
Best wishes,

In the UI thread, you'll set a flag of some sort, and have the worker thread check it. You can use a message (as Randor suggested) providing you're pumping messages regularly in the worker thread. You could use an event object, or even just a global variable (which you might want to protect using a critical section). The important thing is that, whatever sort of flag you use, you design your worker thread in such a way that it gets checked periodically.
And yes, you can force a thread to stop execution programatically, but you really don't want to do this - it'll likely leave your application in an unknown and potentially dangerous state, to say nothing of the state it'll leave whatever it was working on.

Hi,
I have an application in which I am loading data from a database (in this specific case a large database) into a grid in my GUI. So, I open the query into a recordset using the Open method as follows:
sQuery.Format(_T("SELECT DISTINCT D.fieldA, DC.fieldB
from TableDC DC, TableD D
WHERE D.fieldA = DC.fieldA AND D.No = '3’
ORDER BY DC.fieldB"));
if(!Open(AFX_DB_USE_DEFAULT_TYPE, sQuery, CRecordset::readOnly))
{
...
}
The problem is that the statement that contains the call to the Open method sometimes takes about 2 minutes to execute (and sometimes works ok).
Anyone have any idea of why this happens? And maybe an idea of how I can fix it (speed it up)?

This may due to your DataBase doing some pending work..or your request is not scheduled by the Database engine..as well as its a ORDER query so it takes time to fetch the fields and sorting as well.

You can if you think you can

can I somehow check if this happens and if it does, can I fix it?
A_Laxmanas well as its a ORDER query so it takes time to fetch the fields and sorting as well.
but this same query sometimes executes very quickly...

Hello everyone!
I've asked this before, but I'm still unable to solve it...
I have this string:
is730enu.exe.mtx
I want to copy only the first 12 characters of it, to another string. How do I do that, in C? (No C++) Thanks!

And what was wrong with the previous solutions presented?
Since you don't seem to like the more general solutions presented, perhaps this is more specific to what you want?
<br />
int i;<br />
char mystring[13];<br />
char *str = "is730enu.exe.mtx";<br />
for(i = 0; i < 12; i++) mystring[i] = str[i];<br />
mystring[12] = '\0';
|

The function to copy N bytes is:
strncpy()
char string[]= "is730enu.exe.mtx";
char chopped[13];
strncpy (chopped,string,12);
chopped[12]='\0';
printf("%s\n",chopped);
However... I have a feeling that what your actually trying to do is extract the filename from the file extension. But your filename has two dots.
Here is how I would do it:
char string[]= "is730enu.exe.mtx"; //The string
char *p; //pointer to a character
p = strrchr(string,'.'); //Assign p to the memory location of the last dot
*p = '\0'; //change the character into a NULL
printf("%s\n",string); //print the original string

Oh... Sorry, hfry, I didn't get why the extra chars at the end, but now I see that you need to end it with the null character! Thanks now you both!

I have alway use in Visual C++ 6.0:
int ivalue=0;
CString str=_T("0");
ivalue=atoi(str);
without any problem, but now in Visual Studio 2005 I get a error:
'atoi' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'CString' to 'const char *'
? I do not understand !

You may be getting this because you are compiling your application for UNICODE.

hi,
I have a class that is a general class and not derived from any classes.
I want send message to it when somthing was happen. but I don't know how?
please help me.

You have a number of options:
1) Implement your own callback mechanism.
2) Use more mature technique such Observer design pattern.
3) If you program in new C++/CLI, event model is a good notification mechanism to use.
- It's easier to make than to correct a mistake.

Hi guys
I get following error when running my program.
Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the variable 'Temp' was corrupted.
where 'Temp' is a pointer to a class.
Does anyone know what the source of this run time error is ?
