Dialog box questions

I have few edit boxes (for double prec. numbers)in a dialog (in a dialog based MFC program).
I want to go to the next edit box when I press ENTER. Normally the control goes to OnOk and the program exits.
Similarly I want to reset (to blank) all the data in the edit boxes when I press ESCAPE. But the program closes when I do so.

Will someone help?

override OnCancel() and OnOk() functions in your dialog message map
so you can write your own code for these keys

how do i convert a string to LPCSTR?

18-Jun-03 4:01

This question was asked a few days ago... Override PreTranslateMessage() like this:

BOOL CMyDialog::PreTranslateMessage(MSG *pMsg)
{
    if((pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN) && (pMsg->wParam == VK_RETURN))
        pMsg->wParam = VK_TAB;
    return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}

This should work as required.

string? -> std::string?

std::string str = "burp";

USES_CONVERSION;

LPCSTR lpcstr = T2A(str.c_str());

Activex control in .NET Form (VS.NET 2003)

1. To convert a CString to a LPCSTR

#include <atlconv.h>

USES_CONVERSION;
CString str = _T("Whatever");
LPCSTR lpsz = T2CA(str);

2. To convert a std::string to a LPCSTR

std::string str("Whatever");
LPCSTR lpsz = str.c_str(); // No T2CA() required - std::string is always ANSI

3. To convert a std::wstring to a LPCSTR

#include <atlconv.h>

USES_CONVERSION;
std::wstring(L"Whatever");
LPCSTR lpsz = W2CA(str);

Hope this helps

Have a look at the tutorial on string handling on CP. That will say more Smile | :)

I am Using VS.NET 2003. I tried dragging Activex controls
from toolbar to the form.

It does the following things
1. Creating tlbimp wrapper file and it is sucess.
2. Creating Aximp wrapper file and it does something after
that it poppedup "File or assemblyname Axinterop.ID.dll or one of the depencies was not found". (Note:ID is activex name)

I tried even with command prompt
1. tlbimp abc.ocx /out:interop.abc.dll and it created sucessfully
2. aximp abc.ocx /out:axinterop.abc.dll /rcw:interop.abc.dll /rcw:interop.stdole.dll
AxImp Error: File or assembly name stdole, or one of its dependencies, was not found.

Can any body faced this type of problem?
(Note: Even Microsoft activex control also giving the same problem? Smile | :)

)

Please tell me some method to use Activex control in .NET

Thanks,

You have to do custom drawing, I guess, because you need to have DC.

Look at ::GetTextExtentExPoint or ::GetTextExtentExPoint

CDC* pDC = GetDC();
char szTmp[256];
edt.GetWindowText(szTmp);
int nSize = pDC->GetTextExtent(szTmp).cx;

//and now simply compare the edt width with nSize;

Double network interface

Re: Double network interface

17-Jun-03 22:48

I have to develop an application that manages a double network interface.
This means that the target PC is equipped with 2 network cards with different
IP address.
My application must be able to manage both cards, to send data over both
networks and to distinguish data received from one or the other card.

How can I solve this problem ??

Thanks a lot!

Ryan Binns17-Jun-03 23:20

If you're using sockets, you can create one socket for each IP address, and then whatever is received is available through that particular socket.

WM_CTLCOLOR

can anybody tell me something different between WM_CTLCOLOR and =WM_CTLCOLOR
in mfc?

The WM_CTLCOLOR message is used in 16-bit versions of Windows to change the color scheme of list boxes, the list boxes of combo boxes, button controls, edit controls, static controls, message boxes, and dialog boxes.

If an application processes this message, it returns a handle to a brush. The system uses the brush to paint the background of the control

=WM_CTLCOLOR

In classwizard WM_CTLCOLOR will appear as "=WM_CTLCOLOR"

This has to do with subclassing of controls. I really can't elaborate that much on the topic because I have used it only once and I hardly remember it, but go to MSDN and search for subclassing.

// Afterall, I realized that even my comment lines have bugs

Ryan Binns17-Jun-03 23:25

WM_CTLCOLOR is the Windows message sent to the parent of a control.

MFC allows the control itself to handle some messages that are actually sent to its parent. This is called message reflection, and WM_CTLCOLOR is one of these messages. If you handle WM_CTLCOLOR in a particular window (eg. myWindow), then you handle a message sent from one of myWindow's children. If you handle =WM_CTLCOLOR, you handle a message that was sent from myWindow to its parent.

I hope this is clear enough to understand Smile | :)
