In my SDI application I have to write some text
in the View. I use TextOut function and it works fine
using a Default font size and type (I suppose).

I'd like to change font size and type. Is it
possible ?? How ??

Thanks a lot !!!

Could you use a CStatic for your Text? CP has plenty of information about CStatic.

My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

My View is not a CFormView derived class.
I'dont know if it is possible to create a CStatic control in
a CView derived class. But I'd prefer to don't use a a CStatic
control if it is possible...
Text I have to draw changes continously position in my View and
must be often created and destroyed so I think that it could be
more easy to use TextOut function...

But.. how to change font type and size ???
The only why is to create and manage CStatic controls ??

I have followed your message... and I have created
a CStatic control in my View.
It can be good !!! So I can use a derived class from
CStatic in order to change all parameters...

Now, I have another problem...
when my View is repainted the CStatic control is drawn
again (I suppose) and it blinks.

How can I solve this problem ??

Thanks a lot !!!

You have to draw it first in memory and, when it's done, you push it on the screen.
Use CreateCompatibleDC to create the memory dc compatible with the screen dc. Then draw your image on this device context, and, when it's done, send it to the screen dc using the BitBlt method (bitmap copy).

Modeless property sheet and OK/Cancel buttons.

Hello

I'm trying to get the Ok/Cancel buttons to work with a modeless property sheet.

I've managed to get all buttons to show by overriding OnInitDialog() (I'm using the CTreePropSheet availible on this site)

BOOL CSettingsSheet::OnInitDialog()
{
m_psh.dwFlags &= ~PSH_HASHELP;
m_psh.dwFlags &= ~PSH_NOAPPLYNOW;

m_bModeless = FALSE;
BOOL bResult = CTreePropSheet::OnInitDialog();
m_bModeless = TRUE;

return bResult;
}

All buttons are shown despite of the dwFlags changes. How can I get rid of the apply/help buttons?

Thanks

In the Sheets constructor, before any of the pages are constructed, I call this:

//Remove the Apply Button
m_psh.dwFlags |= PSH_NOAPPLYNOW;
//Remove the Help button
m_psh.dwFlags &= ~PSH_HASHELP;

< edit > And here is what I do in the beginning of OnInitDialog

//see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - Q146916
 m_bModeless=FALSE;                              //cheat BaseClass into NOT disabling Buttons
 m_nFlags |= WF_CONTINUEMODAL;
 BOOL bResult = CPropertySheet::OnInitDialog();
 m_bModeless= TRUE;                              //reset to our actual state.
 m_nFlags &= ~WF_CONTINUEMODAL;

< /edit >

Stop asking why - I just copied it from someone, and as it worked I never bothered to think about it again.;)

I have dragged and dropped the progress bar control on a dialog and have also declared it's variable. Now I want to show increments in the progress bar in a loop. What would be the method of doing so.

Reply me soon

First you have to tell the low and high ranges with the SetRange( short nLower, short nUpper ) method. You can also specify a step increment with the SetStep( int nStep ) method.

For showing a new progress use the StepIt( ) method.
Take a look at the MSDN documentation. Everything is described there.

My dialog box contains many edit boxes and hence i want to write a general class which inherits from CEdit and allows the user to enter only numeric characters.Please some one advice me on how to implement this.I implemented this to a certain extent where it can control the characters typed but it cannot control the characters entered by pasting into the edit box

If you use the ES_NUMBER style for the edit box, it only accepts digits.

i had the same problem about the pasting thing ... i simply fixed that problem
just catch the wm_paste message, open clipboard, clear clipboard en close clipboard.
Hereby noone can paste anything in your edit fields
so you get better control

They made a special control for entering IP adresses, but failed to provide one for entering numbers. Idiots! Dead | X|

Handle WM_PASTE, save the content of your control and call CEdit::Default() to do whatever the message wants.
Now you can validate the new content and reject (by copying the saved text back) it or allow it by simply doing nothing.

Hi all,
I am trying to build a project of Visual C++, but its giving very strange error on every .cpp file of the project.

The error is:
fatal error C1033: cannot open program database 'c:\MyWorkspace\business tier\objects\MyProject\release\vc60.idb'

MSDN say this about the error:
====================================
Fatal Error C1033
cannot open program database 'filename'

There was an error opening the .PDB file. This may be caused by a disk error.
=====================================
Can anyone tell what can be the reason of this error?

What I am doing wrong?
how to solve this error:

there are some things to consider:

1. if you are trying to use the code as you've shown us... the main problem is that App is not initialized when you want to access it...

2. if you are trying to get access to the main application object, then the declaration is not correct:
you should change CStudentApp *App; for extern CStudentApp StudentApp; doing this you'll be accessing the real application object created in OnInitInstance...

3. as the compiler says the try block has no catch... you should catch the exceptions you want to handle... catch(...) for catching all of them.

hope this helps...

Problem of asterisk's

Hello,

I have created an MFC AppWizard(exe) application. It is basically a service and it requires password authentication for installation. I'm able to install it through a GUI installation.

Now I need to install the application through command prompt for e.g.

MyService /install /****

First of all, is there a way I can provide these asterisk in the command line??

What I have done, is created a driver executable (its a win32 console application) named setup.exe
When I issue the install switch to Setup.exe it prompts for a password as follows:

Setup /install

Enter your password => ****
Confirm your password => ****

And creates a bat file (install. bat) at runtime as follows

Contents of install. bat
=======================
Myservice /install/****

And runs the bat file to install the service.

IS THERE A WAY TO DO ALL THE ABOVE OPERATIONS IN A SINGLE STEP BY PROVIDIING THE PASSWORD DIRECTLY TO THE MFC APPLICATION, AVOIDING ALL THESE INTERMEDIATE FILES LIKE MyService /install /****

IN SHORT, IS IT POSSIBLE TO INTERACT WITH THE CONSOLE THROUGH AN MFC APPLICATION?

Exchange of values among different classes of same project

I have been unable to pass values from one class to another in a VC++ SDI application.
Actually In one class (say class1) I am constantly getting CString values. I want to pass some of these values to another class (say class3). In class2 , user is setting some rules on the base of which it is decided that whether string shold be passed from class1(list control) to class3(list control).
I have adopted a lot of methods but failed to do so even with a single one. I would prefer array[] to act as a buffer for these values. Plz help me out. But if there is some other easier method, plz suggest.

Reply me soon

Hi,

I presume you want to store application specific data at a central point. This can be done by using member variables in your CDocument class. Get a pointer to the document in your other classes and you can access the data.
You could/should add some helper functions in your document class to store and retrieve the data.
