What does that mean? When you debug the application it just steps over the function without the function executing? Is there an exception? An error reported? what?

yes it seems like it steps over
When i try to go in to the assembly code it show me a ref to the callback function but doesn't jump to it. instead it comesback to my calling functions next statement.
I don't get any exception.
Also I cut and pasted the same code into another applicaiton (MFC) and it works without any problem.
TIA

Using VS.NET 2003
VC++ MFC project.
Having a problem with dialog resource copies.
In VC6, I could insert a copy of an existing dialog and for which a class has been created, and then with the dialog editor I could add new controls on this copy and add event handler and variables for these new controls. In VC++.NET 2003 it does not seem to work. I can add a copy but after I add new controls on this dialog copy I cannot add events or variables to them because they are not listes in the Control Events in the properties page.
Steps to reproduce:
1) create a dialog (default template will be enough)
2) Create a class for this dialog
3) Right the dialog in the resource view and select 'Insert Copy', you will have to enter a valuee in the condition field, for example 'TEMP'
4) Add an edit control to this copy of the dialog template
Now, if you right click the edit control and select 'Add variable, the wizard will not have the proper control ID filled in. Also, if you go in the Properties of the dialog and select the Vontrol Events view, the ID for the edit control will not show up.
I had no problem doing this in VS6.
Anyone seen this problem and know a workaround ?
Can anyone tell me if it does the same thing in VS.NET 2005 ?
thanks.

in 2005 after you copy the dialog into the resource tree you open it in the disigner, right click and choose the "Add Class" menu item. This brings up the dialog where you can add a class derived from CDialog bound to the dialog resource. After you do that adding controls and member variables work as expected.
WARNING: Copy / Paste pattern is generally not a good development approach.

Hi led mike,
My example was for a simple dialog. My situation, and I guess this is something many other programmers have to face, is that I have dialogs that already have a working class with all the code and variables and event handlers doing their stuff. Now, I am adding a copy for this same dialog to add features to it, so logically I will want to use the same code that is already there. The compile condition I add to the dialog copy makes it available only when I compile resources with this condition set. I can add code to the dialog that will also be conditionnaly compiled with the same condition. This makes adding new features to a dialog easy and also is more team friendly.
You are suggesting to add a completly new class to the dialog. This would involve copying all the source from the other class to this new class and then adjusting the class name to match the new. If a modification is done to the original dialogs code (team) it will not be reflected in this class.
Why a copy of a dialog resource would not be a good devcelopement approach ?

I don't understand.

When you copied the dialog resource how was the new dialog template associated to the existing class so that class wizard would create the variables for the controls etc.?

I'm extending the functionality of a dialog. The class is already there. I am adding code to it. So the original dialog is bound to that class, i am working with that class.

The original dialog template was already associated with the class through the ID of the dialog. The dialog copy uses the same ID , only the condition changes, the association is still with the same class. This behaviour is the same with .NET 2003. If you make a copy of an exisiting dialog (Insert Copy as I described in my original post) and only change the condition, that copy will also be bound to the original class.
Did you try it ?

Yes in 2003 and with or without the preprocessor macro defined I only get the original dialog so the copied template never executes and controls added to the copied dialog resource never show up in the list of controls in the "add member variable" dialog. Never used this feature before today so I never saw it work in VC6.

Hi,
I am writing an application that has a centeralized file on a network. I want to monitor that file for changes and thought ReadDirectoryChangesW would work nice. My question is does the OS continually hit the disk to seek if it is changed? If so, then what is the difference if I just get the attributes myself? I am worried about excessive network traffic. Having 1000+ workstations hitting the disk just to see if the file changed could be a bottleneck.
Thanks in advance.

You should have a small local program monitoring that file and broadcasting a message to notify all the users that it's status has changed.

This is the whole reason for using ReadDirectoryChangesW() - so that you don't have to waste CPU cycles polling for changes.

No. The way to verify this is to use FileMon.

Hi All
Can anyone tell me how i can change the color and font of some of my static controls
i dont want to change them all, i would just like some of them changed
thanks
Simon

implement ON_WM_CTLCOLOR for changing color. There's a simple example in MSDN somewhere
|
|
|
|
|
See WM_CTLCOLOR and another WM_CTLs and for font use SetFont(..);

Hi,
I am developing a small application with capability to add circles/ squares and other objects in embeddedVC++. But I want to add the functionality to select an object.. and delete it...
Currently, I have been with using CDC class to draw them(extending the sample application scribble). But I dont have any idea how to add sensitivity when the stylus is tapped on a certain object.
Thankyou in advance,

I'm looking for sample code that converts WIKI markup (i.e. the **bold** /italic/ ||table||table|| stuff) to (X)HTML.
Any language is fine, C++ preferred, I'm just looking for ideas

ummm don't Wikis have to do that? So get some Wiki source code right?
On this listing there are several C++ implementations.

Use FindFirstFile, FindNextFile if it suits your needs
and get the file name from that.
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

The first parameter of FindFirstFile() supports wildcards.

See like this
<br />
WIN32_FIND_DATA find;<br />
HANDLE handle=FindFirstFile("*.*",&find);<br />
while(FindNextFile(handle,&find)!=0)<br />
m_List2.AddString(find.cFileName);
FindClose(handle);<br />
of course this code read *.* and insert to a list but you can use like this
