Hi people,
I’m having a problem while updating a CFormView. I switch a variable m_nStatus and depending on its value I do some things. My problems are in these lines:
case 4:
if (m_bWriteMode && !m_bReadMode)
m_cbTransfer.ShowWindow (TRUE);
else if (!m_bWriteMode && m_bReadMode)
m_cbRead.ShowWindow (TRUE);
break;
I know the problem is there, because if I comment them, all works ok.
What happens is that, when I have my application running on the top, works fine. If I switch to another program (i.e. back to VC++ to debug something) and come back, or using a timer all ok until the first WM_TIMER…
Then the FormView gets crazy and starts to update itself continuously, so quick, that the labels don’t appear. It stays so… till I move the window or something like that.
I guess that the ShowWindow () to make the buttons in/visibles is sending an internal UpdateWindow () or something like that. And it comes into a loop: show button, updatewindow, show button, updatewindow…
Is there any way to avoid this f… continous window update? I know I can make both buttons visible and play with the enable/disable, but I would like to do it as I have (without the problem of course).
Thanks
Greetings.

Why are you showing/hiding controls in the view's OnDraw() method? Why not do that wherever m_bWriteMode or m_bReadMode changes?

The process is the same for both modes. I have to ensure 3 points before making a connection (status 3 = connection allowed), do the connection (status 4) and then, depending on what the user wants to do (write / read) allow only one of them.
My boss wanted to have it like that because of "pretty appearance".
So he said to do it with changing button depending on job-mode and suggested me to do that.
I have thought 2 alternative possibilities. Just 2 buttons and enable/disable them as with the others (it gives no problems) or one button changing caption depending on write/read and with the functionality inside separated in two ifs. I will most probably use the second one (1 button with two captions / functions) to follow the "desires" of my boss.
But I asked it because of the flickering. I know that it is due to ShowWindow, but I don't know why. I guess an internal invalidate/updatewindow to make the control visible or not, am I right?

So why is he not doing the coding? His solution is obviously not going to work, so you are going to have to go against the grain and code it up correctly. When shown the final result, he'll hopefully forget about initially leading you astray.

"So why is he not doing the coding?"
I think it comes in the definition of "boss".
"His solution is obviously not going to work"
For that reason I have implemented the 2nd solution above (1 button / 2 caption/functions), I follow his apearance-desires and I have good results as well. He is not going to see the code as long it makes what he wanted to see.

OnDraw is called in response to a WM_PAINT message, which Windows generates when the message queue is otherwise empty and the window has an invalid region. Showing and hiding child windows will invalidate those areas of the window and cause OnDraw to be called again.
Some controls do make a nested call to UpdateWindow on themselves when their content is changed, but normally InvalidateRect is used alone to defer painting until the thread is otherwise idle.

That is exactly what I wanted to know, thanks. I was guessing that, but didn't know the correct answer.

If i had a green object, and a red spot-light, i'd expect to see a yellowish area where the light shines right?
Or if i had a light that was orange (R=255, G=200, B=0) everyhing would have an orange tint, (or if the object was pure white, actually go orange)
Instead, on my green cube, when i shine a red light on it, it doesn't light up unless the light is shining directly on to the surface, and then all i get is a red patch because of the specular highlights.
So, what can i do about it?
My current favourite word is: Waffle

several things. First light is not light as you see it in the real world. Virtual lighting is a calculation of a direction vector of the light. Without other algorithms, it doesn't even have shadows and you can illuminate anything facing the light, even if it is behind something else obscuring the light.
Without adjusting anything else the entire face of your triangle has one directional surface, the normal vector. That vector determines how light reacts to the surface. Since a single vector exists for the entire surface, the entre surface will calculate the same lighting value. You can specify your own surface normals, in which you want one normal for each vertex rather than one for each triangle. So a triangle now has three surface normals of slightly different variation. The result is smoother light.
If you want more accurate light, you are looking for real-time global illumination, or radiosity on a GPU.

I already have a wonderfully illuminated rotating green cube, lit by a white spotlight, within a white/grey room. And am already aware of various techniques for creating shadows, and the need for normal vectors to ensure that the light acts they way you expect it. I wanted to know if i could blend the colour of the light, and the surface material.
Though i do appreciate the reply, and was unaware that i could supply a normal for each vertex to aid with smoother lighting.

This is done by the material properties. Have you varied the diffuse properties to react to light directly? how high is the specular?
I wasn't sure how advanced you were from your original message.
Have you been through most of these?

you can also make a very small shading program to control the lighting to only what you want, and exactly how you want, so you can blend the light/material exactly how you think it should be.

Hi,
Dialog box properties are set as below
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | DS_CENTER | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE |
WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
Problem is with minimize button, Dialog box gets minimized task bar when i press on minimize button but when i press left click of the mouse the application is not restoring back and also when i use alt+tab am not able to restore back the application.Only i can restore by pressing right click of the mouse on the application and select "restore" option.
Thanks in advance

Does this happen with a brand new project (i.e., one that you've added no code to), also?

Hi,
when i tried with single dialog box it is working but when i include another it is not working. This is how i did
1)Create an SDI application (as our project is done using SDI application)
2)2 new dialog boxes
3)On execution first dialog box opens with OK and CANCEL button (minimize is working fine).On pressing OK button second dialog box opens whose mimimize is not working.
4)Code changes which i have made is as below
1)
BOOL CTest_minimizebutApp::InitInstance()
{
CSingleDocTemplate* pDocTemplate;
pDocTemplate = new CSingleDocTemplate(
IDR_MAINFRAME,
RUNTIME_CLASS(CTest_minimizebutDoc),
RUNTIME_CLASS(CMainFrame), // main SDI frame window
RUNTIME_CLASS(CTest_minimizebutView));
dlg.DoModal();
// AddDocTemplate(pDocTemplate);
// Parse command line for standard shell commands, DDE, file open
CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;
ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo);
}
2)
void CmainDialog::OnOK()
{
// TODO: Add extra validation here
dlg1.DoModal();
CDialog::OnOK();
}

Hi all,
Just wondering... In MS Visual C# we have the ability to get a list of all the available methods, properties etc in a class as we are coding.
For example, if I typed "Form1." I would get a list of the object methods etc.
Visual C++ seems to be able to do this to a point:
ie. System::Windows::Forms
But it wont let me go any further than this.
I am wondering if there is a plugin that anyone could recommend that extends the default VS2005 C++ help feature.
Thanks,
Mark.

it wont because there isn't anything more to be displayed.
only public classes/namespaces are displayed using the :: operator.
the . operator displays internals only if applyed on an object.
if you have a pointer, use the -> operator.
show a piece of the code you have if you want us to help more...

Hi,
I am using Visual Studio .NET 2003 for writing VC++ code. My application was based around a treeview but I wanted to give users the ability to rearrange the node/folder structure of the treeview using drag and drop. for example, Should work roughly like "Organize favorites" in Internet explorer.

Has anyone come accross this issue on Vista?
I have a program that uses:
hr = IXMLHTTPRequest->send( ... );
which FAILS only on Vista.
Any idea why? Works fine on XP with which we develop.
