i think this is because the IDE dosen't show the unicode strings... change the IDE settings as below..

take tool->options menu.

now take the debug tab in the Options dialog displayed.
U can find a check box saying "Display unicode strings". Tick that check box.

now run the application with a break point set in the next line of "MultiByteToWideChar(..)" function. Check the value in the variable when breakpoint reaches there Smile | :)

Date and Time Picker

Hey All,

I am implementing the Date & Time Picker through MFC. I placed it on my dialog and assigned a variable to it...CDateTimeCtrl m_DateTime;

I also added the event handler OnDtnCloseupDatetimepicker, and it works fine as long as I don't try to pick a date before Jan 1, 1970. If I pick a date before then, I get a Debug Assertion error on atltime.inl, Line 167, Expression: m_time != -1.

I have never seen this before....

Here is the code that I have in the closeup function...
void Measure1::OnDtnCloseupDatetimepicker1(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult)
{
m_DateTime.GetTime(time);
int mnth = time.GetMonth();
switch(mnth)
{
case 1: Month = "January";
break;

case 2: Month = "February";
break;
case 3: Month = "March";
break;
case 4: Month = "April";
break;
case 5: Month = "May";
break;
case 6: Month = "June";
break;
case 7: Month = "July";
break;
case 8: Month = "August";
break;
case 9: Month = "September";
break;
case 10: Month = "October";
break;
case 11: Month = "November";
break;
case 12: Month = "December";
break;
}
Day = time.GetDay();
Year = time.GetYear();
*pResult = 0;
}

Thanks in advance....

I would guess that your time is a CTime. If so, the CTime object date limits are 1/1/1970 to 1/18/2038 (in VC6) and 1/1/1970 to 12/31/3000 in VC8 (2005).

You could use COleDateTime for your time variable instead and that should solve your problem - it will handle dates from 1/1/100 to 12/31/9999.

Hope that helps.

Is 'time' a CTime object? If it is, it's limited to January 1st, 1970 to January 18th, 2038. Try a COleDateTime object instead, it has a range of January 1st, 100 to December 31st, 9999.

Where is the mouse??

I have an application with plenty of windows. Some of them a re CView subclasses others are controls etc.

My views usually track the mouse using the mouse events like the CWnd::OnMouseMove messages (which I have properly mapped etc).

Reading the OnMouseMove help says that:

'The framework calls this member function when the mouse cursor moves. If the mouse is not captured, the WM_MOUSEMOVE message is received by the CWnd object beneath the mouse cursor; otherwise, the message goes to the window that has captured the mouse.'

I would like to know at a given point where the mouse is, or actually if the recepient of the next mouse input message is the current CWnd or not (i.e. is it still beneath the cursor?).

I 'd like to write code like

MyClass::OnMouseMove(....)<br />
{<br />
   DoMyInitialAction(); //an application action<br />
<br />
   if( MouseInputStillOnMe() ) <br />
     DoSomeOtherAction(....); //another application action<br />
}

If my DoMyInitialAction creates a new view it is likely that the next mouse input message will go on that one. I do not want to capture the mouse and receive any event related to it just in case that the DoMyInitialAction
does that (It's a black box. I do not know what will do).

Thus is it possible to write a MouseInputStillOnMe() query which will not post any message to my message queues but will tell me that under the current circumanstances I 'll receive the next mouse input message?

I assume that I can use the CWnd *CWnd::GetCapture( ) to find if another CWnd in my thread receives the mouse events but this does not answer if my window is still the one beneath the cursor. How do I found if it is?

Thanks a lot for any help....

Dimitris...more you ask, more you learn

I think you should look into using TrackMouseEvent
The TrackMouseEvent function posts messages when the mouse pointer leaves a window or hovers over a window for a specified amount of time.

Or you could make use of the GetCursorPos() function and then indowFromPoint() to find out if the mouse is still over your window or not.

If you vote me down, my score will only get lower

You can try CreateProcessWithLogonW. You'll have to prompt the user for the credentials to use.

Hi,
Is anyone aware of a simlpe technique for adding a breakpoint to every function/method in a VS2003 solution?
I'm currently having to modify the open source database Firebird. The number of entry points and curious manovers is so startling it's taking an age to track certain process.

Thanks

go to end of the cpp file. Now start recording the macro.Then follow below steps

1. Press ATL + up arrow -This will move the cursor to the starting of the last funtion.
2. press F9 - This will insert the break point in that line

Stop recoding the macro.

now go on playing the macro untill u reach the top of the file.... Cool | :cool:
