Documentation isn't (CreateProcess [^], ShellExecute [^]) satisfactory?
Roughly speaking the former gives you more control, the latter is more user friendly.

I guess you would need to write your own control for this...
or see if CMonthCalCtrl::GetMinReqRect suffice your needs

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

hello
i programing the code && design the interfaces
then , connect the programing with db "store the results in db"
then connect the db with interface and appeare the results on edit boxes in the interface
now , we want excute the programing code when click specific button .so, we use this function :
ShellExecute(this->m_hWnd,"open","proto1.exe","","", SW_SHOW );
when we run the interface and click the button excute the programing code"proto1.exe"
but the result false . the results diffrent about the results that appere when excute the file separetly on console also the data base some time doesn't update .so, the results itrated
also , the same copy from proto1 that deal with db and interface when take it in other place provide the same false results . althogh , ather copy of ptoto1 that dosn't deal with db and interface work very good
note , in proto1 code read from 2 files and these files important to programing the code and the results depod on them
in interface , the user do prowse and select 2 files . these file appear in edit boxes then stored in 2 other static files"in each chose for user change the content of files" that the proto1 read from them

i hope knowing why the results appearing false and db does not change

Quick question about combobox

Hi all,

first of all i am using WTL but since its similar to mfc i am posting it here. I was helped here before about NOTIFY_HANDLER for WTL so that the code can monitor everytime a change has been made to my treeview and created this function:

LRESULT CMainDlg::OnSelChange(int idCtrl, LPNMHDR pnmh, BOOL& bHandled)
{	
pNMTreeView = (NMTREEVIEW*)pnmh;	
Select = pNMTreeView->itemNew.hItem;	
return 0;
}

I just want to know how I can make a version of this for a combobox change. What can i use for a combobox? If NMTREEVIEW is for treeview what is for combobox control? Select is a CTreeItem what can i use for that?

Is this still applicable:

NOTIFY_HANDLER( IDC_UPDATEDAY, TVN_SELCHANGED , OnSelChange )

Thanks,
Jayjay

Selection change notification for a combo is CBN_SELCHANGE, CBN_SELENDOK. The latter is sent when selection change becomes permanent, and the former is sent when user is changing the selection using arrow keys/mouse but new selection is not yet permanent, also called if the selection becomes permanent (bit of live action).

Nibu,

I tried that CBN_SELCHANGED however it doesnt call my OnSelChange if ever a selection change has occured. this is my code

NOTIFY_HANDLER( IDC_UPDATEDAY, CBN_SELCHANGE , OnSelChanges )

LRESULT CPrefDlg::OnSelChanges(int idCtrl, LPNMHDR pnmh, BOOL& bHandled)
{
	pNMCombobox = (NMCOMBOBOXEX*)pnmh;
	pNMCombobox->ceItem.iItem;
	return 0;
}

It doesnt even go there. What seems to be the problem
is that right?

Thanks,
Jayjay

Is IDC_UPDATEDAY id of the combo or the tree? From your OP it looks to me as the tree id.

So is this a CComboBoxEx control, since you are casting the notification structure to NMCOMBOBOXEX type?

If so then you've got to handle notifications...

CBEN_BEGINEDIT, CBEN_ENDEDIT.

The CBN_SELCHANGE message is send with WM_COMMAND where as TVN_SELCHANGED was with WM_NOTIFY. That why we have to use NOTIFY_HANDLER for handling the TVN_SELCHANGED. So if you want to handle the CBN_SELCHANGE, the macro to be used is COMMAND_HANDLER

COMMAND_HANDLER( IDC_UPDATEDAY, CBN_SELCHANGE , OnSelChanges )

and the proto of OnSelChanges should be

LRESULT OnSelChanges(WORD wNotifyCode,WORD wID,HWND hWndCtl,BOOL& bHandled );

Hi,

I don't think it behaves like you seem to imply.
most file systems I have encountered have this behavior:
- for sequential writing, when a file gets opened normally, it gets truncated to
zero length, then grows according to the new data; the exception is when it gets
opened for "append", in which case all new data comes at the end of the existing data.
- for random-access writing, all pre-existing data remains where ever you don't
write new data; and you could truncate at will.

I am pretty sure both good old C file system, and .NET File class, behave as explained
above, so I suggest you revisit your observations.

Trap/wrap CListCtrl messages

I am actually using Hans Dietrich's XListCtrl, but the question I have is general CListCtrl.

When I press the mouse in my CListCtrl resource, I don't know exactly which message I should be trapping and handling the event for. There are like HUNDRES of LVM_, LVN_, NM_, ...) messages.

I want to trap the message, do my operation, and then pass the normal message-handling onto the associated message in XListCtrl class.

I just want to trap a Left-Mouse Click, check the row/col (iItem, iSubItem), get which row was clicked, and then pass along to XListCtrl operation....

Thanks,
John John

Drawing a BitMap

Im writing a function that draws a titleblock in the bottom corner of the page and have it all drawn and still need to place a bitmap in the titleblock. Is there a simple way to do this, all my searches have come up with really complicated explanations.

Are you drawing a bitmap on a bitmap or drawing a bitmap to a window?

Are the bitmaps DDBs or DIBs (or something else)?

Drawing on a window page, similar to a visio page. Im just wanting to take a logo, either jpeg,bmp or some other picture file and be able to insert it into the title block I drew.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
