modeless child dialog would not close after its parent is destroy

followait5-Jul-08 2:32

The modeless dialog is created this way:

void CPropWnd::OnNavigator() // CPropWnd is derived from CDockablePane
{
	CNavDlg *pDlg = new CNavDlg(this, this);
	pDlg->Create(IDD_NAVIGATOR, this);
	CRect rc;
	GetWindowRect(&rc);
	pDlg->SetWindowPos(NULL,rc.left+rc.Width()+5,rc.top,0,0,SWP_NOZORDER|SWP_NOSIZE|SWP_SHOWWINDOW);
	pDlg->UpdateWindow();
}

Why, and how?

I just wonder where you would destroy your dialog? If you create a dialog with "new" keyword you have to destroy it somewhere. Maybe this is the real source of your problem ...

If the windows will be destroyed automatically after its parent is destroyed, I can't delete the object in OnPostDestroy.

I think OnPostDestroy is too late, OnDestroy would be the right event handler in my opinion. Can you try that?

CScrollView do it in OnPostDestroy,
OnDestroy is also ok, better to delete this after the base class's OnDestroy is called.

It varies depending on which version of Visual Studio you are using. The general idea is to look at the linker properties for the project. One of the properties is the name of the output file. Set the output file property to the name you want.

Simply check the reutned pointer for NULL. If it is null the memory was not allocated.

That really depends on HOW you're allocating the memory.

impersonation

vineeshV5-Jul-08 1:05

I need to impersonate the user to logged in to the system .The process of impersonation should be like this

1) The user will input the username to be impersonate and passwd

2) There will be a dummy user in the system .

3) I need to read all the privilages for the inputted user

4) Then the dummy user will be logged in to the system with all the

privilages of the inputted user

The purpose of this is whether i inputted administrator or guest user ,the logged user will be dummy with the admin/guest privilges

Can any body tell me how can i achieve this

The whole thing should be worked in winNT series and winXP series (including vista )

Its a servie application

Unfortunately there is no similar Data Grid Control in MFC!? So there is no way to code a similar approach in Visual C++ / MFC.

If you would need such a control for MFC have a look on

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/gridctrl.aspx[^]

or

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/MFC/UltimateGrid.aspx[^]

In case you needed the code in Managed/C++ this is the wrong forum. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

I'm sorry but you cannot translate this print approach to plain C++, since the infrastructure isn't there. Maybe this article will be helpful http://www.codeproject.com/KB/printing/printingmadeeasy.aspx[^] or even better just do a search on MFC and print.

In properties, there's a member 'border' - it can take various values resizing, dialog frame, none, thin. check it.

Hi all,

I would like to write program, hardware info - like cpu-Z(it's realy great tool!).

I tried WMI, but I wasn't able to get memory type (DDR,DDR2), frequency and other things.

What should I focus in?

Could you help me?

Thanks.

WMI is useful, but accesses a HUGE number of classes, often with names that don't seem to accurately describe the information that is available. If you have, WMI CIM Studio[^], that utility is the best place to start looking for the information. This is available as the WMI Adminstrative Tools download for Windows XP[^]
For instance, when you start WMI CIM Studio, you want to view instances of the Win32_PhysicalMemory class[^] on your computer. Read down the page of the documentation until you locate the property, MemoryType.
This information is often reported by the device driver (in this case), and may not be available, depending on how the driver is implemented.
Once you know the information is available it is a simple matter to code the WMI query, but locating it initially, especially if you don't even know where to look can be very time comsuming.
Read through the documentation that comes with your Visual Studio version for the Win32_classes, this can be helpful.
This MSDN Code Example demonstrates How To Get WMI Information From Your Local Computer[^]
