I just started working on this, so any suggestions would be helpful. I have a program that transfers files to and from a CDMA cell-phone chip simulation board. Essentially, a cell phone connected to the PC via a USB cable. The files on the phone are displayed in a GUI, and the program itself transfers the files via programmer-defined packets. The GUI itself is a high-level layer on top of pre-existing firmware level application, which actually controls the phone with transmission/receive messages. I would like to make the GUI a drag and drop application, where the files in a given directory are listed in a listbox on a form, and to transfer files to/fro one can merely drag and drop files in and out of the list box to location designated in the PC. I have looked at implementing drag and drop for files on PC's with MFC, but it seems it's all done with the assumption that the files are all located in files on a PC or a PC-based network. The transfer process itself can take minutes for mp3 files. Does anyone have any thoughts on implementing a shell drag and drop process which will emulate the PC process but the actual transfer of data is done with the pre-existing firmware code.

Hello,
I am working on a simple program that must load a bitmap and then resize the window that the bitmap is displayed in so that it is the exact size of the bitmap. The program appears to work fine, except for one small problem. When Windows redraws the window that has now been resized, the border on both the right hand side and the bottom do not get drawn. Also, it appears that the orignal "X" box that closes the program is still there. However, if I resize the window manually after the computer has redrwan the window, both borders appear and the old "X" box disappears. Anyone have any idea how I can go about fixing this problem?
Thanks,
Joe

SetWindowPos has a flag to indicate that the non-client area of the window needs updating. You can either use SetWindowPos to do the resize (if you are not already using SetWindowPos), or you can do something like the following just to force the frame to redraw:
SetWindowPos( Your_HWND_Here, NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOACTIVATE | SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_DRAWFRAME );
Good luck,

Any ideas on what functions I need to use to retrieve a handle from an active window and edit that window (drawing, outputting text, etc..) maybe for a game or other form using Win32 API?
Thanks....
P.S. I'm using Visual.Net 2003/2005 as a platform!

Do you need to handle or hwnd of a window?
|
|

It's a hWnd for a window. I've tried to use SetWindowsHookEx and LoadLibrary, but they do not seem to do anything. I don't know if I am using them quite right or not, or either SetWindowHookEx is only used for mouse and keyboard hooking or what. Maybe hooking applications is too advance for SetWindowHookEx. I really dunno.
|
|

|
|
I dont know its purpose or no but you can use FindWindowdid you try it
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, it have used it. But I used FindWindowEx instead. It retrieves the hWnd of a window based on the class name for that particular application. That is a piece of the puzzle but not the whole thing. Now, I'm trying to use that hWnd and SetWindowsHookEx to hook it to that particular window, but I'm having no luck.

Abu Mami's Easy Installer files that I downloaded DID NOT include any ".clw" or ".dsw" or ".dsp" files. can someone send them to me. Also, how are you to compile the Easy Installer or change some of the coding without being able to load it into the IDE (using VS 6.0)

.clw and .dsp are not source files... why would they be included ?
|
|
|
|
|
You're right about the .CLW file but the .DSP file (or its VS.NET counterpart) is the equivalent of a make file and would be needed to build the project.

It's a VS.Net project, so it uses a .sln and a .vcproj instead of .dsw
|
|

I don't suppose there is a VS 6.0 version of Easy Installer. If, not is there anyway I can change something to get it into the VS 6.0 IDE?

Hi all,
I need do open a "please wait" window in order to keep blocked my MFC application (i mean that the user can do nothing) until a time-expensive routine ends. Then i need to close this "please wait" window.
I need a modal dialog i suppose.
How can i do that ?
Should i launch the time-expensive routine from the modal dialog ?
Thanx in advance,
Desmo16.

All you need to do is create a new dialog window, open it before runnning your expensive routine and close it after. In my opinion, having a "please wait" and forcing your user to sit there twiddling there thumbs is bad programming. Why not use a thread instead?
|
|
|
|
|
yes and no, if you create a Modal dialog, your long task will not be done unless you make it part of the dialog itself.

There are some tasks in some software that will ALWAYS make a user wait, whether it's in a different thread or not.
|
|
|
|
|
Because the user knows he has to wait so long and he wants the results that can be shown only AFTER the computation in the routine.

solution after searching the causative bodies of seismic/volcanic effetcs)

I have two addins installed in my Outlook 2003, both have their specific functionality, I would like to integrate the functionality of both thru global mouse hooks, here is my senerio
1) Lets say there is a button "abc" on toolbar "A" in outlook mail composing window
2) and there is a button "xyz" on toolbar "X" in the same mail composing window
3) on click of button "abc", I would like to generate click of button "xyz" first
4) and then resume back to the process of button "abc"
I am thinking of developing application using VC++ and creating global mouse hooks (may be there is some better approach), I know I can capture the mouse click but my questions are
1) how do I know that the click that was captured is for "abc" button....I think I'll have to determine if the click was for OUTLOOK main window and then determine which mail composing window the click was for, and then finally determine which toolbar/button was it for........but how do I do this all ? any ideas/pointers/suggestions
2) Once I know that the click was for button "abc" now second step is, how do I push a new click event in the windows queue for button "xyz" in toolbar "X"
Also one thing to note is, there may be multiple mail composing windows open but we got to work on the active one only which initiated the click event in question.
Thanks in advance.

In my opinion, mouse hooks won't help you in this scenario. Write a COM addin or use VBA. It will be much simpler.
