Today in the second program I use a mutex to detect the second instance and kill it.
The reply below this one is correct in the sense that I want to give it focus.
However I don't know what it means to give focus to a totally different process.

The one and only instance of your "second program" does this with a call to SetForegroundWindow().

Thank you very much. That is my missing link.
|
|
|
|

maybe:
Use ::FindWindow() to check if the other program is running, and get the window handle if it is.
Use something like ::SetFocus() or ::SetForegroundWindow() to give the other program control (now that you have its window handle).

So I don't use FindWindow(). If I would use something better, how could I give focus?

Hi.
I want to know how I can create an array/object at runtime if I don’t know about its data type.
For example,
I have an array Say Arr, but I don’t have any information about the data type of elements it stores. It might be an array of int, float, char or even user defined data type (user defined class).
I can get the information about its class or data type by using ‘type_info’, but how can I create an array/object of same data type at runtime?
Like if I want to copy the contents of an array Arr into another array say ‘NewArr’; of the same type at runtime, how can I create that second array NewArr, i.e. what should I specify as a data type of ‘NewArr’?
Thanks

Sounds like a job for a template.

AFAIK, there's no way to do this directly in C++.
You can, however, design a system of classes that are capable of creating/cloning themselves at
runtime and/or being created by type.
For an example implementation, check out the source code for MFC's CRuntimeClass and CObject
classes and the DECLARE_DYNAMIC/IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC macros. This implementation has a common
base class which includes methods for runtime object creation based on a class name.
Because C++ has no built-in way to do this, the CRuntimeClass implements a list that maps
class names to creator functions.
Depending on the source of your source arrays, serialization may be useful as well.
Regardless, at the heart of these solutions is code that creates objects of a specific class,
which is all that C++ allows.
Just my 2-cents,
Mark

I am trying to create a custom window caption for SDI application.I have
taken help from http://www.codeproject.com/gdi/customcaption.asp
The project on the above link use WM_NCPAINT,WM_NCACTIVATE and WM_SETTEXT handlers in the window procedure to draw and paint the caption bar.In this
project whole caption bar has been customized.
In my application,I don't want to draw and paint minimize,maximize and close buttons and let them be like the system's created default buttons.Actually these default buttons are getting drawn and painted but are not visible when the mainframe window gets activated.When I move the mouse on that region, then only those buttons are visible and work fine on clicking them.So, Can you please suggest me why those buttons may not be getting visible when the mainframe window gets activated?
With Regards

Have you checked out if button->ShowWindow (TRUE) works?
It would help if you post a bit of your code.
Greetings.

I am creating a dialog based application with a CWebBrowser2 control. I need to print the page displayed in the browser in landscape or portrait format without displaying the PrintDialog. Landscape or Portrait is decided by some other inputs.
I have two methods in my App class for setting the orientation and for starting the printing. Now the probelm for me is how to get the content in the browser or in other words how to get the html displayed in the browser? what to do after a m_Browser.GetDocument() call ?? I dont know how I can associate the html with DOCINFO structure ( setting the file name does not work of course). Landscape/Portrait modes and a dc.TextOut() for a hardcoded string works fine. But how to print the html displayed in the browser?
Please note: setting the orientation and using the ExecWb() function does not work because I am always getting portrait mode only.
Excpecting your valuable comments. Thanks.

Guys....any tips regarding this ?? Setting printing orientation, getting the content from a Webbrowser control and printing it. I dont want the print dialog to appear and the ExecWb() method always prints in portrait.

Hi ! I?'ve an application developed using MFC. When I run the project, a window will open. If I close the window manually (i.e by clicking the cross mark at the top left corner of the window), then an exception occurs.
It states:
Unhandled exception at 0x7c918fea in Perspective.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00000010.
If I break this exception,
Program control goes to a file called free.c
How do I resolve this Exception?

Check call stack you will be deleting some memory which is already freed or not allocated. May be Pointer will have some gabage value which you are trying to free.
|
|
|
|
|
As sugeested earlier, it may be due to incorrect handling of memory, or writting out of bounds.
Run app in debug mode. See if call stack helps you.

How to view the call Stack? There is no tool bar icon for Call Stack in the VC++ Editor.
|

|
|

Use Alt+7.

I used Alt+7 but it did not show the call stack. I tried Alt+F7 also. It also did not work.
This Project is developed using Visual Studio .Net 2003. The editor has a yellow arrow mark. If I click this, the Disassembly window opens. Is this the call stack U mean?
|
|
|
|
|
In my VS version the shortcut is CTRL+ALT+C.
But firsly stop the program in DEBUG mode on a breakpoint.

Thanks. It is working(Call Stack Opens). But How to find out at which statement the problem occurs?
There are two markers(One Yellow Arrow and One Green Triangle). What do these markers really mean? Will these markers be helpful in resolving the exception?
The Yellow Arrow stops at this line:
ntdll.dll!7c918fea()
More over, the above said line and following the three lines are gray in color.
The Green Triangle Stops at this line:
msvcr71d.dll!_free_base(void* pblock = 0x00600c08) Line 103 Language C
The above said line is in Normal Color(Black).

the yellow arrow shows what file/function you are watching in VS, look at that!...and walk forward on the tree to find a function in your code (not in external dll) that do something wrong (than double cliche on that function on the call stack window).
Usually the error is in the first function that you will reach, and usually the real error could be in less than 10 lines before the line related to the crash...but it depends on your code.

Thanks a lot.
I clicked all the lines from the beginning of Call Stack. When I Click a New
Line the Green Triangle goes either to a system file(like free.c) or to a inline file(.inl file like nicriticalsection.inl).
ni stands for Net Immerse Game Engine(previously called NetImmerse New Name is Gamebryo).
It did not go to any of the function defined by me. I should not change any ofthese system files or inline files. They are predefined. What to do?
