It's a global variable - that means it's not a member of dlg7, so don't treat it as if it were.

Do you think you maybe need to read an introductory C++ text[^], to learn these basics?

constructor and OnInitDialog()

MFC, STUDIO 2008, MDI

Why ignore ( skip ) value from OnInitDialog()
There are modal and modeless windows:

// modeldlg2.h
class CMainDlg2 : public CDialog // modal window
{
public:
virtual BOOL OnInitDialog();
CString m_sPP_modal7;
};

// adderdlg2.h
class CAdderDialog2 : public Cdialog // modeless window
{
public:
virtual BOOL OnInitDialog();
};

// modeldlg2.cpp : implementation file

CMainDlg2::CMainDlg2(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/) // standard constructor
: CDialog(CMainDlg2::IDD, pParent)
m_sPP_modal7 = "Paris";
}
BOOL CMainDlg2::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();
m_sPP_modal7 = "New-York";
return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
}

// adderdlg2.cpp : implementation file MODELESS window
BOOL CAdderDialog2::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();
CMainDlg2 dlg7;
MessageBox(L"dlg7.m_sPP_modal7 = \n" + dlg7.m_sPP_modal7);

Why have been chose value from constructor but not from
the method OnInitDialog() modal window?
}
Result: Paris
Why not New-York ?
How to receive New-York ?

Because the dlg7 member hasn't been created as a window yet, so hasn't received WM_INITDIALOG yet. You may have noticed that you haven't seen that dialog at all?

durban2 wrote:

You need to get a WM_INITDIALOG sent to your dialog. Which means showing it. Which menas that as it's a modal dialog, you need to call dlg7.DoModal() before the MessageBox call.

Have you looked at the documentation at all? Stupid question really, 'cause you obviously haven't. Does help, though.

Anyway - that has the definition for CWnd::SetFont, which is this:

void SetFont(
   CFont* pFont,
   BOOL bRedraw = TRUE 
);

No strings mentioned there?

So, to change the font, you need to create a CFont. To do that, add a CFont data member to the class this code is in (the view?). Initialise the font with CFont::CreateFont and call m_button1.SetFont passing the address of the CFont data member.

First of all you can see parameters of functions on your code you need to make this font(Courier New) for it you can use of CreateFont/CFont class and then you can use of it of the SetFont much as you are new to VC++ you can read error message(Can not convert to CFont*) so you can think its parameter is CFont not CString.

when i try to build ALMTree.hand ALMTree.cpp file in mfc application everything is all right at first.
Then i would like to employ <iostream> in .cpp file to prompt some hints with the help of "cout"

First - when you paste C++ code, please tick the checkbox labelled "Auto-encode HTML when pasting?" That way, your #includes don't get obfuscated.

Secondly - I think your problem will be solved by putting the #include <iostream> before the #define new DEBUG_NEW - STL doesn't get on with MFC's debugging memory allocator, IIRC.

I suspect this is the big, indirect problem - do you have a console in your MFC app? Without a console, std::cout won't do you much good.

3d object with transparent background

25-Apr-09 9:38

I need to be able to display a 3d object on desktop with transparent background so it seems like it's drawn directly to desktop. I managed to do that with layerd window and openGL. Here is the code making my main window layered:
///////////////LAYERD WINDOW/////////////////////////
SetWindowLong (hWnd , GWL_EXSTYLE ,
GetWindowLong (hWnd , GWL_EXSTYLE ) | WS_EX_LAYERED ) ;

typedef DWORD (WINAPI *PSLWA)(HWND, DWORD, BYTE, DWORD);
PSLWA pSetLayeredWindowAttributes;
HMODULE hDLL = LoadLibrary ("user32");
pSetLayeredWindowAttributes =
(PSLWA) GetProcAddress(hDLL,"SetLayeredWindowAttributes");
if (pSetLayeredWindowAttributes != NULL) {

pSetLayeredWindowAttributes (hWnd,
RGB(0,0,0), 255, LWA_COLORKEY|LWA_ALPHA);
}

/////////////////////////END LAYERED WINDOW

I need to be able to have this functionality with DirectX programming. This method didn't work for me. Is this the correct way to do it or maybe some other technique is more proper. I'm thinking maybe using windows regions instead of transparency or something else I'm not aware of.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

How to Find files using http url path?

25-Apr-09 6:05

Hi,

I have one scenario in code that finds all files from the given local/unc path with wildchar. The code sample is given. The enumerator could iterate through the number of files in that path and return the exact path of each file and which will be added to an array for later use..

The above part is working fine..but my requirement is to find the files in similar way with the url path. For eg; the path will be http://server/test/*.bmp and it need to get the url of all file existing on that path like, http://server/test/a.bmp, b.bmp, etc..

Is there any way similar to the code given to do this for url path..I have tried the way OpenUrl() and CinternetSession but it didn't work..Would really appreciate for showing the right way..

CFileFind fileFinder;<br />
char oldDirectory[512]; <br />
GetCurrentDirectory(512,oldDirectory);<br />
BOOL flag= fileFinder.FindFile(pathDirectory+strWildcard);<br />
while(flag )<br />
	{<br />
		flag = fileFinder.FindNextFile();<br />
		lstArray.Add(fileFinder.GetFilePath());<br />
			<br />
	}<br />
SetCurrentDirectory(oldDirectory);<br />

Thanks in Advance..

HTTP doesn't have (as standard) the concepts required to support file finding. Instead, you probably need the server to return a file list when you GET http://server/test/ (many HTTP servers can give directory listings when you access a directory). Then you can filter that file list to work out which files you want to retrieve from the server.

There is no MFC class for searching on HTTP servers because HTTP does not support the direct file manipulation required for searches. Can you use CFtpFileFind()?

Hi David, Hamid,

Thanks much for your responses and suggestions..just made logic like the server finds the list of files from the folder and sending the list to the client with a delimeter then the activex use it..

there is no direct way to do so, as website doesn't provide this due to security reason. there is other way around, you can create a dummy page on server, which search files for you and retrun you teh list when ever you call that page...? hope i am not missing something here!

head file including problem

Noticing that when include <fstream> ,ifstream can be introducd like
ifstream source(fileName);

After checking the <fstream> file in nodepad,i can find no class ifstream.
Then <fstream> includes other head files,I check them one by one recursively
but find nothing.

From MSDN,A type basic_ifstream specialized on char template parameters.
typedef basic_ifstream<char,> > ifstream;
and the required head file is <fstream>

Then i was confused.

Thanks for your reply.

You must have been looking at the wrong source code. In my Visual Studio installation, the definition of the typedef ifstream is in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include\iosfwd, while the definition of basic_ifstream is in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include\fstream.

i am trying to adapt
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/AudioConfigurationManager.aspx to work under vista sp2.

Having it all running except for the interaction with the applet's button's
using i can't get it to supply me with information.

This code part gives me a headache:

ZeroMemory(&lvItem,sizeof(LVITEM));
ZeroMemory(&lState,0,sizeof(LVITEM));
ZeroMemory(&item,512);
defaultButton = handAcq->findChildWindow(appletWindow,BUTTON,DEFAULT_BUTTON);
listView = handAcq->findChildWindow(appletWindow,COMBO_BOX,NULL);
GetWindowThreadProcessId(listView,&procID);
HANDLE lView=OpenProcess(PROCESS_VM_OPERATION|PROCESS_VM_READ|PROCESS_VM_WRITE|PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION,false,procID);
if (lView)
{
LVITEM *_lvi=(LVITEM*)VirtualAllocEx(lView, NULL, sizeof(LVITEM),MEM_COMMIT,
PAGE_READWRITE);
char *_item=(char*)VirtualAllocEx(lView, NULL, 512, MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_READWRITE);
lvi.cchTextMax=512;
lvi.pszText=_item;

_lvi->stateMask= (UINT)-1;
_lvi->mask=LVIF_STATE;

if (applyButton && defaultButton) //found buttons
{
// THIS DOESN'T WORK, RETURNS AN EMPTY lvitem STRUCTURE
SendMessage(listView, LVM_GETITEMSTATE, (WPARAM)0, (LPARAM)_lvi);
ReadProcessMemory(lView, _lvi, &lState, sizeof(LVITEM), NULL);

// THIS WORKS AND RETURNS THE ITEM NAMES
SendMessage(listView, LVM_GETITEMTEXT, (WPARAM)0, (LPARAM)_lvi);
ReadProcessMemory(lView, _item, item, 512, NULL);
}

There are no errors, just ignores any interaction with the applet other then retrieving strings.

What am i doing wrong?

Hi,

The other day I just figured out the Vista has different interface for accessing mixers (volume controls) because of new security restrictions it only allow your application to see stuff in your level,

In other words - you can only set / select the audio channel that your application is using,

Look at this:
IAudioEndpointVolume Interface[^]
