Hi,
I am new to Visual Studio 2005. I couldn't find the handy Components and Controls Gallery, which was available in Visual Studio 6, through Projects -> Add to Project -> Components and Controls.
Is it gone? If so, how do I accomplish the tasks that I could with the Components and Controls Gallery, like adding an ActiveX control, a popup menu, or a splash screen?
Thank you all for your attention.
Eddie

m_modeLess.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

Are you using the modeless dialog with Child property set to true?
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

No.. im not using the Child property , cuz i dont want to Modeless dialog to be child, i want to Trace the X,Y of Parent Dialog and want to move to modeless dialog just as the Parnt dialog moving the X, y
like :
like if :
Parent dialog pos is MoveWindow ( 50 , 50 , 100 , 200 );
and the Modeles Position is Movewindow( 10 , 10 , 100 , 200 );
now if i move Parent dialog to Left , 10 px on WM_NCHITTEST now the value of parent dialog is gona be 20 , 10 , 100 , 200 . and i want tht the Modeless also moves to 10 pcx automaticly , you can say i want to trace the Movement of Parent dialog .

Handle OnMove in your parent window. You would be having a pointer/ object to the modeless dialog in the parent window. You can call
pChild->MoveWindow(x,y,//width,//height,true); if you have a pointer and likewise for an object.

I use GetWindowText to get the text of a focused object. (lets say a button)
<br />
HWND Btn = ::GetFocus;<br />
<br />
TCHAR ButtonText[1024];<br />
<br />
GetWindowText(Btn, ButtonText, 1024);<br />
This work fine for most windows application.
But when I try this for an application like Firefox I get a NULL-string.
Does anyone have a generic solution to get the text of these non-windows objects..?

Just out of curiosity, how you have tested this code ? Any action to execute this code could have made application window having this code to activate.

I dont think this is problem related to non-windows object.
Use SPY utility to see, if you can see caption of FirFox window. If you could; then there should not be any problem to get text with above code.

I use hooking to do this.
If a button is pressed, my code is hooked to the process.
When my code is executed, I make a screenshot and take some extra information from the screen. Like the caption of the activewindow and the caption of the selected button. For all applications I can get the caption of the activewindow, but the caption of the buttons is harder.
The caption doesn't appear in Spy++.
In case of FireFox I get a MozillaWindowClass. But I dont know anything about it..

It seems that, you are not setting focus correctly on window. Use SPY and select caption bar of Mozila window. You will see the caption of window.
Now setting focus there, use you code.
..You made me install this browser on my m/c.

Thanx for helping me!
I can (as you figured out) get the caption of a Mozilla window when the focus is good.
My problem is that I can't get the caption of the selected button inside that window. I also can't find this caption in SPY.
I tried it with te options screen:
Tools >> Options
Then tap to the "Use current page" button. I can't find the text "Use current page" in SPY anywhere.

Yes, you are right. But I dont know how that window is constructed, because the it looks as a homogeneous panel and SPY cant differentiate betn its child control. No clue about it.
AFAK, its opensource, see if possible, how its achieved ?

According to MSDN, GetWindowText can't bring text from remote Window control except it title.. you have to use WM_GETTEXT!

WM_GETTEXT gives me the same result

The Firefox UI uses their custom-built XUL stuff, not standard windows controls. Sending it window messages probably won't work (unless they reimplemented all the message handling of the corresponding controls, which is doubtful).

Hi All..
I am working with TabControl, where I created 3 dialog Boxes, in these three one dialog with TabControl, and remaining two dialogs with edit control.
In first Tab-first dialog, Second Tab-second dialog
I had created two dialogs in the OnInitDialog() function .
m_FirstDialog =new CFirstDialog();<br />
HRSRC hResource = FindResource(g_hModule, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_FIRST_DIALOG),RT_DIALOG );<br />
HGLOBAL hTemplate = LoadResource(g_hModule, hResource);<br />
BOOL bResult = m_FirstDialog->CreateIndirect (hTemplate, this);<br />
FreeResource(hTemplate);<br />
m_FirstDialog->ShowWindow (SW_SHOW);
same code fallows for Second Dialog.
Everything is fine but Problem is when I tried to send data from member variable to Control on First , second dialogs.
I am not able to acces the data in editboxes in First, second dialogs from the TabDialog(tabcontrol).
Can you please help me how to find the cause of this problem.
Thanking You.

Hi all,
I have this piece of code but I didn't write it, and I'm struggling my butt off to understand it ... can anyone help me...

uint16_t tfmtag;
uint16_t recdid;
uint32_t fladdr;
uint8_t *pdbuff;
} TFM_PARAM3;<br />

this declares a pointer to a function which gets a TFM_PARAM3 as a parameter, and returns nothing. this function pointer is called app_cb in your structure.
to use it, you can do this :
void Foo (TFM_PARAM3);
TFM_PARAM2 myStruct;
myStruct.app_cb = &Foo;

Thanx alot you guys ....

Shouldn't we write:
myStruct.app_cb = &Foo

Yes, you're correct.
You can also write:
myStruct.app_cb = Foo;
I think that's also in the standard rather than being a common compiler extension.

functions have a unique property that their value is their address
i.e. &Foo == Foo
not sure if this is standard... works in VC++

yes it works under microsoft compilers, but not standard. if i remember correctly, the last standard (or the future one) prevents to use the notation without the address operator...

this is good to remove the slight confusion...
is there something planned for using function pointers as well?
like:
<br />
voif func () {}<br />
<br />
void (*func_ptr) ();<br />
<br />
func_ptr = &func;<br />
<br />
(*func_ptr)();
func_ptr ();
<br />

i don't know for this, but i personnaly prefer calling a function (even through a function pointer) with the usual syntax.
if you call a function with func_ptr() (even if the name is not that explicit), you can always browse the sources for the declaration of the func_ptr pointer, and then identify it to being a function pointer...
