Hello Friends,
I am trying to change the Text of Start Button. But not getting sucess.
I am trying following code.
HWND hTray = ::FindWindow(L"Shell_TrayWnd", NULL);<br />
HWND hStart = ::FindWindowEx( hTray, NULL, L"Button", NULL);<br />
SendMessage(hStart, WM_SETTEXT, 0, (LPARAM)L"MyText");
But nothing seems to happen. But when I see in Spy++ it show the new text.
I dont know what is going on.
Even I dont know Can we change the Text or not.

I am using winxp and I can see the changes with your code. It's working fine.
So atleast one thing is confirmed, We can change the text
|
|
|
|

There is a possibility that the start button may be using a bitmap for drawing the face. So if you change the text it wont be updated. It depends on the windows theme that you use. Try changing the theme.

I am Using Win2000. Dont know enything about Themes. Can u guide me through that

I meant the look and feel of windows. That is got from Display properties => Appearance.
Since you could verify the change by using Spy++, we can say that the button text is changed.
But since I dont have Win2000 here, I cant test it.
I am not familar with Win2000. Can you change the appearance to Windows 98 classic?
You can take the display propertied by right clicking the desktop.

No its Not Working. I know that start button is saved as a string in Winxp and Win98. Becoz previosly i have changed the Text on Start button using Resource hacker . But dont know how they save the text (Start) in Win2000.

|
|
|
As I said before, I have no experience with Win2000. So I am really sorry.

Your code is working on the XP.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes I checked on WinXp and its working there. But it has its own problem.Window gets its Original Text(Start) after Some time.
|
|
|
|
|
When I open a msg file at ms office outlook and view it via outlook spy there is this property PR_HTML but when I save it it disappears.
How did that happen?
Where can I find the html content?
thanks

|

Also I am using outlook 2003 therefore the mapi_utils I got doesnt work.
Is there an existing updated version for outlook2003?
Thanks

Hi,
I have one service, if it stopped normally by either stopping it thro SCM applet or user manually shutting down the system i am doing all the processing before it shuts down in Service Control handler function when it receives SERVICE_CONTROL_STOP or SERVICE_CONTROL_SHUTDOWN messages.
But I need to handle when this service is killed/stopped abruptly thro task manager or thro some other means. what message does it send to Control handler function so that i can do something here ,
or please tell me how to handle this ?
Thanks...

hey folks,
I've got a little snippet I wanna use to do a splash screen from a mask-image (2-bit image). well... it doesn't work
CBitmap bg_Image;
bg_Image.LoadBitmap(IDB_BITMAP1);
BITMAP bBitmap;
bg_Image.GetBitmap(&bBitmap);
BYTE *pBuffer = new BYTE[bBitmap.bmWidth * bBitmap.bmHeight];
bg_Image.GetBitmapBits(bBitmap.bmHeight*bBitmap.bmWidth, pBuffer);
CRgn newRegion;
newRegion.CreateRectRgn(0,0,0,0);
CRgn tmpRgn;
for (int y=1; y< bBitmap.bmHeight; ++y)
{
for (int x=1; x < bBitmap.bmWidth; ++x)
{
BYTE c = pBuffer[(y)*bBitmap.bmWidth + x];
if (c == 255)
{
tmpRgn.DeleteObject();
tmpRgn.CreateRectRgn(x,y,x+1,y+1);
newRegion.CombineRgn(&newRegion, &tmpRgn, RGN_OR);
}
}
}
this->SetWindowRgn(newRegion, true);
delete [] pBuffer;
The result is nothing near what I expected... some ragged & jagged dialog.
when I set a breakpoint on "tmpRgn.CreateRectRgn(x,y,x+1,y+1);"
I find that the x and y of the for-loop is not what it should be in the image!!!
any hints on how to do my splash-screen?
thx in advance

All the code looks like it's for 8-bit images only (and assumes a WORD aligned width).
If the source bitmap is not 8-bitsperpixel, then you need to use bBitmap.bmWidthBytes
instead of bBitmap.bmWidth when calculating array size and offset of pixel in buffer.
Plus, if it's < 8 bpp, you need to mask out the appropriate bits to match the color.

so for anybody who's intrested and for the sake of completeness:
BOOL CMeineFormDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();
SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE);
SetIcon(m_hIcon, FALSE);
CBitmap bg_Image;
bg_Image.LoadBitmap(IDB_BITMAP1);
BITMAP bBitmap;
bg_Image.GetBitmap(&bBitmap);
int iByteSize = bBitmap.bmWidthBytes * bBitmap.bmHeight * (bBitmap.bmBitsPixel/8);
BYTE *pBuffer = new BYTE[iByteSize];
bg_Image.GetBitmapBits(iByteSize, pBuffer);
CRgn newRgn;
newRgn.CreateRectRgn(0,0,0,0);
CRgn tmpRgn;
int iOffset = bBitmap.bmBitsPixel/8;
int r,g,b,c;
for (int y=0; y< bBitmap.bmHeight; ++y)
{
for (int x=0; x < bBitmap.bmWidth; ++x)
{
c = y*bBitmap.bmWidthBytes + x*iOffset;
r = pBuffer[c+2];
g = pBuffer[c+1];
b = pBuffer[c];
if (r == 255 && g == 255 && b == 255)
{
tmpRgn.DeleteObject();
tmpRgn.CreateRectRgn(x,y,x+1,y+1);
newRgn.CombineRgn(&newRgn, &tmpRgn, RGN_OR);
}
}
}
this->SetWindowRgn(newRgn, true);
delete [] pBuffer;
return TRUE;
}

...as long as you only use bitmaps witha format >= 8 bitsperpixel

I'm having a little trouble writing integer values to a file with ofstream objects. If I do ofstream::write(), then I have to pass it a char or a char*. So far, in my code, I've tried doing the following:
ofstream geomFile("C:\\file.dat", ios::binary);
geomFile.write((char*)ordX, sizeof(int) * numOrds);
geomFile.write((char*)ordY, sizeof(int) * numOrds);
where ordX and ordY are defined here:
const int numOrds = 10;
int ordX[numOrds];
int ordY[numOrds];
Basically, since I know the array is a contiguous memory location of 10 integers, I do a write starting from the pointer value of ordX and ordY through sizeof(int) (4) * numOrds (10) = 40 bytes. What I expect is to have 20 4-byte integers lined up in my file one after another. Unfortunately, when I read back from the file, I'm not getting the right result. Any ideas?
I guess I should also specify how I'm reading back the file using an ifstream object.
ifstream geomFile("C:\\geom.dat", ios::binary);
char readBuf[sizeof(int)];
int ordX[numOrds];
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
geomFile.get(readBuf, 4);
ordX[i] = *(int*)readBuf;
}
I know the above looks a bit like a hack, but I'm sort of confused as to how I'd manipulate things in 4-byte blocks other than casting to int* and dereferencing.

Does something like this work better?
ofstream geomFile("C:\\file.dat", ios::binary);
for (int i = 0; i < numOrds; ++i)
geomFile << ordX[i];
for (int i = 0; i < numOrds; ++i)
geomFile << ordY[i];

I'm pretty sure this will write the characters to file in ASCII, won't it? I was trying to write it as binary. The thing is, I'm trying to do a minimalist database design, so writing out the x and y ordinates of 13945 and 19053 as ASCII would take 10 bytes, whereas as a 32-bit int, would only take 8 bytes.

Yes. Sorry about that! 
I tested your code and it writes binary fine. Reloading worked too, tested as follows:
...
for (int i = 0; i < numOrds; ++i)
{
ordX[i] = 0;
ordY[i] = 0;
}
ifstream instream("C:\\file.dat", ios::in);
instream.read((char*)ordX, sizeof(int) * numOrds);
instream.read((char*)ordY, sizeof(int) * numOrds);
instream.close();

Hi Mark,
Thanks a lot for giving this a try -- I guess it was just a matter of me using get() instead of read().
|

The software I am coding uses AfxThrowArchiveException(CArchive::none) to undo changes made by partially loading a document into the program. However, another afx message stating "Failed to open document." pops up and the operator has to again click OK on the dialog. Is there anyway to override this second message box from popping up?
|
|
|
|
|
You could override CDocument::ReportSaveLoadException() in your document class
and do something more appropriate (like not calling AfxMessageBox(), logging the
error, etc).

I know there are numerous articles on this topic, but I haven't found a solution to my problem.
From my GUI app I launch a stub process which is supposed to give me real time feedback on the output of a third console. Basically I set up the pipes and handles from the GUI, launch the stub which inturn modifies it's screen buffer and launches the real console. All the handles are inherited correctly, until I modify the memory of the real console.
I coded the stub to start the new process with the CREATE_SUSPENDED flag set, it also returns the ID's back to the GUI. From there I modify the memory and call ResumeThread(). But, for some reason, the STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE which it should have inherited from the stub has been lost. I have verified that the real console is indeed running, though it has no 'visible' screen buffer to output it's contents to.
Through inheritance, I do get the screen contents, but not in real time and without any of the modifications that the stub was supposed to perform.
Any ideas as to how or why this might have happened? Is there any way I can reset the std_output handle after a call to CreateProcess() ?

I don't know how why where or what, but after 6 hours of debuging, editing, rearranging and shouting at the PC, I finaly got it to work. ( I think the shouting did it ).
I can now launch a console from the resources, without writing it to disk first, and redirect it's input/output in real time.
