Hi,
Using C++ code, I could not place the flashing caret at the beginning of the Single Line Edit Box after selecting the whole text in it.
In the function
void SetSel(int nStartChar,int nEndChar,BOOL bNoScroll = FALSE );
of CEdit class, the start and end character positions can be given to select some part of the whole text. For full selection, we need to use as SetSel(0, -1);. In both cases, the flashing caret is always at the end of the selection irrespective of the order of the start and end positions in the above function.
In the description of EM_SETSEL Message, I found the below mentioned point.
"The control displays a flashing caret at the end position regardless of the relative values of start and end."
Could anyone help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Kishore

In the Edit Box of MFC, I need to place the cusor at the beginning of the text after selecting the whole text. But by using the SetSel function of CEdit class, I could not get this solved.
So, please suggest me an approach to obtain this behaviour.
Thanks.

The docs you quoted state that's not the way it works.
You'll have to write your own edit control.
It doesn't make much sense since as soon as you type
all the selected text is going to disappear anyway.

So what do you want us to do about that?

What happens if you use SetSel(num, 0) where num is the number of characters in the edit control?

I tried in that way also. Even then the whole text is selected and the caret is at the end position.
Reason might be
"Edit controls: The control displays a flashing caret at the end position regardless of the relative values of start and end."
Refer: "ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.WIN32COM.v10.en/shellcc/platform/commctls/editcontrols/editcontrolreference/editcontrolmessages/em_setsel.htm"
So only I asked in my previous message about other procedure without using that message.
Please sugget any other method if you come across.

how do i display menu bar on a dialog box?
|

Create a menu in your resource editor and then add it to your dialog (in "Dialog Properties"). That's how it works in VC6. Pretty sure it's similar in other versions.

Hello everyone,
1.
I am developing for both x86 and x64. I stop mouse on size_t in the code, and "typedef unsigned int size_t" is always displayed. I think it is not correct for x64. Since x64 size_t is 64-bit and unsigned int on x64 is 32-bit. So, the first question is how to let mouse display the correct typedef?
2.
But when I select size_t and click go to Definition/Declaration, but always failed. Where are they defined?
thanks in advance,
George

I would not bet my money on what intellisense tell me.

Agreed. That would not be an intellibet.

But how do you find out in which header file it is defined, led mike? I found a couple of definitions.

Maybe it's not defined in code. Maybe it's intrinsic to the compiler. Why does it matter?

Thanks led mike,
Currently there is no issues. But I think for such a commonly used data type, if we are not sure where it is defined, we will have risk. Any comments or ideas about how to find out where it is defined?
regards,
George

Well George this is another example of you digging into something that is not necessary while still not even understanding fundamental things like how constructors and object construction works. If the entire community of VC developers works without the knowledge of where size_t is defined, why is it immediately important to know, just because you say so?
What risk exists by not knowing where it's defined? You can still know what it is defined as by doing cout << sizeof(size_t)George_George wrote: Any comments or ideas about how to find out where it is defined?
Yes and I already made those comments.

Thanks led mike,
I do not know why finding where size_t is defined is too hard. 
Today, I have made more experiment, which is, enable the "Generate Preprocessed Files" of VC, but the output is quite surprising. Any ideas?
#line 1 "d:\\visual studio 2008\\projects\\testsizet1\\testsizet1\\main.cpp"
#include <wnidows.h>
int main()
{
size_t x;
return 0;
}
regards,
George

Maybe because you completely ignored what I previously posted.
