Hi all,
I have made a dialog based application from which i am calling another dialog based application using shell execute. Now what i want is when my second application is displayed first aplication should hide and it should not be diaplayed in task bar also, and when second application finishes it task first application should become visible.
I tried doing it using:-
CDialog::OnShowWindow(SW_HIDE,SW_PARENTOPENING);
but it doesnot hide the window.
How can i do this....
Thanks in advance

Instead of ShellExecute(), Create the process by using CreateProcess(). From the PROCESS_INFORMATION structure, you'll get the new process handle.
Now hide yourself by calling ShowWindow( FALSE ) function and wait until your second process gets finished by calling MsgWaitForSingleObject( hSecondProcess, ...). Now your first application is in waiting state.
Once the second child process is finished, the MsgWaitForSingleObject() will returns and now, show your window again by calling ShowWindow( TRUE ).
If can use WaitForSingleObject() instead of MsgWaitForSingleObject(), but then your first application dialog will not process any messages.
Regards,
Jijo.

You should call ShowWindow(SW_HIDE); instead of OnShowWindow.

You need to handle to these programs and then you can use of ShowWindow().

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to make something similar to the color toolbar in MS Paint. A regular toolbar doesn't do the job, so I must create my own... But how? I can't derive my class from CToolBar (at least not with the class wizard).
I tried deriving from CToolBarCtrl, but I can't figure out how to put it in my window/make it dockable.
Any clues? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
i'm using the classes from Barretto VN http://www.codeproject.com/KB/tree/enumdeskclones.aspx to build a Win32ExplorerTreeView & ListView and it works very good.
Now i want to load and view an (in the Listview)doubleclicked file in another view, so i need to get the full path name and extension of a file when it is double clicked in a listview for example :
F:\WORKING\MISC\OpenGL C++\OGL\MilkshapeModel.cpp
I think a need a shell function or something like that?
Could you help me with this?
Best regards Croc

You are not showing the full path of the file obviously, otherwise it would have been too easy to get it from there  , but when you get the file name intially (from whatsoever method by extracting string from the selected path or finding files from a directory) do you store the rest of the path and extension of the file in some variable. May be a vector or something? if yes, then when the user clicks on the selected file you can map the entry in the list view to that in your data structure, prepend the path to the file name and do a ShellExecute ( not very sure that you would be needing ShellExecute.)???

Tkanks for your quick replies, perhaps you have the time to look a bit closer to the example, becuse i tried to get these information from the file for 2 days now and it wouldn't ! . Perhaps you could help me with some details specified to this example !
Best regards

I didn't have a look at the code as of now. Did you try what I suggested?

Here is the code of the function, it's a lot but i hope it will help!
void CShellListView::OnDblclk(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
CString text;
char szBuff[MAX_PATH];
CString ptrPath[5];
int i = 0;
LVHITTESTINFO lvhInf;
GetCursorPos(&lvhInf.pt);
ScreenToClient(&lvhInf.pt);
int item = ListView_HitTest(GetListCtrl().m_hWnd, &lvhInf);
if((LVHT_ONITEMLABEL & lvhInf.flags ) || (LVHT_ONITEMICON & lvhInf.flags))
{
LPTVITEMDATA* lptvid = NULL;
lptvid = (LPTVITEMDATA*) m_pMalloc->Alloc (sizeof (LPTVITEMDATA));
LVITEM lvi;
lvi.mask = LVIF_PARAM;
lvi.iItem = lvhInf.iItem;
ListView_GetItem(GetListCtrl().m_hWnd, &lvi);
lptvid = (LPTVITEMDATA*)lvi.lParam;
ULONG uAttr = SFGAO_FOLDER;
lptvid->lpsfParent->GetAttributesOf(1, (LPCITEMIDLIST *) &lptvid->lpi, &uAttr);
if(uAttr & SFGAO_FOLDER)
{
CShellClass csc;
csc.GetName(lptvid->lpsfParent , lptvid->lpi , SHGDN_NORMAL, szBuff);
this->m_pShellTreeView->SelectThisItem(szBuff);
IShellFolder *psfProgFiles = NULL;
HRESULT hr = lptvid->lpsfParent->BindToObject(lptvid->lpi, NULL, IID_IShellFolder, (LPVOID *) &psfProgFiles);
if(FAILED(hr))
return;
lptvid->lpsfParent = psfProgFiles;
LVPopulateFiles(lptvid);
text = szBuff;
ptrPath[i] = text;
AfxMessageBox(ptrPath[i]);
i++;
}
else
{
AfxMessageBox(ptrPath[0]+ptrPath[1]+ptrPath[2]+ptrPath[3]);
}
}
*pResult = 0;
}
Best regards

I have not looked at these classes but why don't you just add a handler and/or a member variable for your purpose?

Sounds like SHGetPathFromIDList().

Hi Mr.Crow,
yes i tried it with this function, but i didn't manage to get the file path, name and extension.
Could you perhaps explain me how to use this function in the right way?
Best regards

Assuming you have a valid IDL pointer:
LPITEMIDLIST idl;
TCHAR szPath[MAX_PATH];
SHGetPathFromIDList(idl, szPath);

From where do you want to get this "dynamically generated URL"
and where do you get the hard code URL from?

Hello I have a little big problem that drive me crazy for 3 hours.
I have a function that browse the content of a folder (with subfolders).
After that operation is done I want to delete the folder. The function is recursive.
All the files in the route folder are deleted ok. But I cannot delete the subFolders and their content.
I use this code for retrieve information about files and folders:
WIN32_FIND_DATA FindFileData;
HANDLE hFind=INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;
hFind= FindFirstFile(aux,&FindFileData);
FindNextFile(hFind, &FindFileData);
I guess that it is us
How can I remove the file/folder in use tag?
I tried with
delete &FindFileData it doesn't work. There must be a way out there ...
I tried to delete the folder without browse it first and it works fine.
The weird thing is that I can delete the files that are in the root.

Did you use FindClose(hFind) ?
|
|
|
|
|
Why don't you use
DeleteFile(FindFileData.cFileName); ?
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

Can you use of _rmdir or SHFileOperation without this code?
