You are limited in DrawItem function. The point is that it's just a helper function. The master of these functions is OnPaint or WM_PAINT message.

CRect rect = lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem;
dc.Ellipse(rect);
You are not free to draw anything anytime in DrawItem functions. There is a rule. You draw based on the flag's that's passed in. So if the flag tells you draw entire client area (ODA_DRAWENTIRE)then go around splashing colors, else if it's just to paint a focus rect (ODA_FOCUS) then you can't do that.
Now you may ask how to know if have to draw a focus rect or remove a focus rect, that's why we have the state flag ODS_FOCUS.
Do the same in OnPaint in and you will what I meant.
sawerr wrote: IS that a right scenario to see that when we need onpaint and can't be done such a thing with DrawItem Method? We can draw entire button with ownerdraw method, but we can't draw Listbox or combobox with ownerdraw, only it is items?
Can you rephrase this question?  My brain just fell apart!

OK.
DRAWITEMSTRUCT has got a hDC member which identifies a device context. Is that Device Context for drawing shapes or etc. things to the surface of the control or redraw control itself. For example:
void CMyButton::DrawItem(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpDrawItemStruct)
{
CDC *pDC = CDC::FromHandle(lpDrawItemStruct->hDC);
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(&rect);
rect.DeflateRect(20,50);
pDC->Ellipse(rect);
}
That code draws an ellipse to the surface of the button, not elliptic button. Because when i clicked out of ellipse buttonclicked handler invoked.
I tried same thing for OnPaint() -->> CPaintDC dc(this);
It gave me same result.
1-) Is there a way to get DC for drawing control itself, not its surface?
2-)If yes, how can i understand which DC is for surface of control and which DC is for draw a control?
Thanks for all helps...

So you want to change the shape of the control itself! For that you've got to call SetWindowRgn. You can use functions in CRgn class to create a region your window.
To create an elliptical dialog you just have to call SetWindowRgn with a region parameter from OnInitDialog.
Read this for more information.[^]

There is nothing like surface and a control dc. It's just one control dc which is just used for painting on top of a control.

Since you mention FONT, I wonder If you are talking about getting ASCII values from printed/scanned material, you will need something that can do OCR on the scanned image that can recognize the characters.

Hello,
I have a property sheet with pages in it in my WinCE application devleoped in eVC++4.
The sheet has page as members & are added to sheet. Sheet is a modal & is called directly on menu click. It doesn't have any parent. I have couple of factors to look at :
1) On the device I don't see the Ok, Cancel, Apply buttons. To close it, I have to press Esc.
2) I have OnCommand() in each page, with SetModified(true), which updates the variables of the page. I want to update the changes in a object present in sheet class. How do I achieve that?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Terry

Could someone please explain to me how to use getaddrinfo in its most simple form. The example given by MSDN is beyond my understand as well as every site i've found so far.
All i want is to get my internal ip address and store it in a variable.
Thank you.

Do you have the name of your machine? If so, you can use
ADDRINFO hints = {0},
*sa;
hints.ai_family = AF_INET;
hints.ai_flags = AI_CANONNAME;
int nResult = getaddrinfo("machine_name", NULL, &hints, &sa);
char *addr = inet_ntoa(((LPSOCKADDR_IN) sa->ai_addr)->sin_addr);An easier way would be to use gethostbyname().

For getting your ip address, call GetAdaptersInfo() and the IP_ADAPTER_INFO.CurrentIpAddress will give you the current ip address of that adapter.

A given host can have more than one address.
Here's a simple IP v4 example:
char hostname[256];
if (0 == ::gethostname(hostname, sizeof(hostname)))
{
addrinfo aihints;
addrinfo *ailist = NULL;
memset(&aihints, 0, sizeof(aihints));
aihints.ai_family = AF_INET;
aihints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;
aihints.ai_protocol = IPPROTO_TCP;
if (::getaddrinfo(hostname, NULL, &aihints, &ailist) == 0)
{
addrinfo *paddrinfo = ailist;
while (paddrinfo)
{
sockaddr_in *paddr_in = (sockaddr_in *)paddrinfo->ai_addr;
char *pipstring = inet_ntoa(paddr_in->sin_addr);
paddrinfo = paddrinfo->ai_next;
}
::freeaddrinfo(ailist);
}
}

Try to understand this. I have a main application and a dll. main application has its mfc view window, say window 1 and there's a button on main window(window 1) which calls a function inside a dll to open a new window, say window 2. Both view windows handles WM_KEYDOWN message and pop up a message box.
Now, when only window 1 is opened, all keyboard messages are properly received by it.
When I open a window 2 and then press key, no keyboard message is received by either of the windows.
Even if I minimize window 1 by clicking on minimize button at top right, no keyboard message is received by either of the windows.
Imagine this -> both windows are open side by side and if I directly click on window 2, then it will bring window 2 to forefront and now window 2 will receive all keyboard messages.
I know window 2 is child of window 1 but somehow not able to route messages to window 2 properly. Does anyone have any idea why this problem in setting focus to window 2 is occuring. when I minimize window 1, why cant window 2 receive keyboard messages???

Hello People,
i have a code written in C++ for DDE ... my task is to read data from a EXCEL sheet at a regular interval ... i am able to do it with the following code ... but the problem is when i say A16,B67,Z63 etc.. my application gives me request fail and type some of my code to excel sheet i don't know how ... but yes when i say A1, B9, V2 etc i.e alphabet with a single digit it gives me correct answer .. but also when i hard-code A16 as "R16C1" it gives me correct answer ... the hard-coded string is the form in which excel understands .... so i have a function to convert C16,A1 to R16C3, R1C1 ...
please help me with it ... and also how to read data from different sheets from a single EXCEL ...
hoping for a positive and immediate reply ... !!

Your problem is in this line: char strCol[3] = "";
It can only hold TWO chars, counting the null terminator. So when you do: case 'J':strcpy(strCol,"C10");break;, you're overwriting the null terminator plus whatever follows strCol in memory.

How to dial a phone number ???
or in other words, i want to make a call from a PC connected to the phone line via some modem, then send some string.
plz help me ...

What do you mean by send some strings to the phone ?
|
|
|
|
|
i want to connect to the telephone the same way the dial-up internet connection works.
in my project, the server is to dial the telephone number of the client, at client side, the phone will check the caller's number, if its server's, then i want the server to communicate with the client thro the telephone line.
