Hi !
Well, I couldn't formulate the topic specifically, so you'll have to read the post instead.. 
My problem is that when I build my MFC application, then at least in Windows XP, my files become named like 'filename.exe (line break) MFC Application'.
How on Earth can I remove that 'MFC Application' from my file descriptions, or at least modify it to something else ? Like 'filename.exe (line break) ODBC Query tool' or something similar ?
Thanks in advance,
Antti Keskinen

Sounds like you need to examine the VERSION resource. IIRC, that's where explorer gets the additional information for EXE files to display as an info tip.
The filename.exe is just the name of the file (but you guessed that already!) and then line breaks are put in. I think you might want to change the value for 'File Description' and/or 'Product Name'.

Thank you, Steve !
I found the appropriate version info, but after I altered it and recompiled, my Explorer didn't update itself, but kept on showing the 'MFC Application' tag. Rebooting computer helped to solve the issue

Next time, you might try clicking on the desktop, but not an icon, and hitting F5 to get explorer to perform a refresh. (In an explorer window, there's a menu option to do the same). I think this "persuades" explorer to refresh it's cache of things like the version info.

Well, it didn't work for me. The app description wasn't changed until I booted my machine. After that it started working properly again.. Weird stuff

a class "CMyTreeCtrl" derived from CTreeCtrl, I want to get a pointer to CMainFrame in this derived class! some people told me that I could use :
<br />
((CMainFrame *)AfxGetMainWnd())->m_wndTreeCtrl.GetSelectedItem();<br />
but there is an error!
: error C2065: 'CMainFrame' : undeclared identifier
please tell me how to solve this problem! thanks~!

Make sure you have included CMainFrame's header file (Usually MainFrm.h)
|
|
|
|
|
if I include CMainFrame's Header, 5 errors occur.
:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\adbook\mainfrm.h(65) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'm_wndTreeCtrl'
e:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\adbook\mainfrm.h(65) : error C2501: 'CXTTreeCtrl1' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
e:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\adbook\mainfrm.h(65) : error C2501: 'm_wndTreeCtrl' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\adbook\XTTreeCtrl1.cpp(50) : error C2039: 'm_wndTreeCtrl' : is not a member of 'CMainFrame'

E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\adbook\XTTreeCtrl1.cpp(50) : error C2228: left of '.GetSelectedItem' must have class/struct/union type
|

|
|
You need some other includes that MainFrm.h also need. You can find them in MainFrm.cpp. They are possibly included right before MainFrm.h

It sounds like you end up with circular references, and a mess just waiting.
To come at this from another tack. Do you actually need a pointer to your
CMainFrame oject, or just to your main window? Its unlikely the a sub-control
needs specific access to a member function in the MainFrame.
If you use
CWnd *pMainWnd = AfxGetMainWnd ();
ASSERT(pMainWnd);
if (pMainWnd)
pMainWnd->SendMessage (WM_NOTIFY, ....);
or
pMainWnd->SendMessage (WM_A_MESSAGE_OF_SOMEKIND, ...);
and install an appropriate notification handler in your CMainFrame then you
lose the current problem. It would also mean you could use your C![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) TreeCtrl
in other projects more easily.
I hope this helped,
Iain.

that won't get you a pointer to CMainFrame! instead AfxGetMainWnd() will get you the pointer to a CWnd object that can be type-casted to CMainFrame!
hope this helps...

Hi try this solution
Open Tree Control Properties->More Styles->And check boxes. Make sure this property is set, and u will get check boxes on u r tree control.
To Mark check/uncheck child CheckBox , on can write handler for OnClickTree...
All the Best

Yes my dear friend u r right
but We cant see the Tree ctrl in a BrowseDlg box
how acn we change the properties of TreeCtrl
cause The Browse dialogBox is a commonDlg control and not the
one which we have designed by myself
Thanx
TAKE CARE

Hi all,
Today, I installed glut.dll, glut.lib etc. and tried to create a new project. But when I tried to "new" a .cpp file, VC told me "unspecified error".
Then I tried to open one of my old .cpp file, I found same error message popped up, why? How can I handle it?
Thanks a lot.

Hi. I wanted to create a locking program. When the person enters all the information needed and selects the file that he/she wants to "lock", the exe file will create another exe file that stores all the information being typed previously and also the file. When the user double click on the exe, the exe will need the user to enter the required information before it lets the user use the file.
Is it possible to let the exe file create another exe which has a file in it?

You could use the UpdateResource function to add / change a custom resource in the target
exe. I say custom resource, as you presumably don't want this information casually play withable by
outside influences. And add a checksum at the end of your resource so tampering can be detected and
punished by flogging...

Hi ppl
I have a problem with my MDI windows. When i start my program and opens a child window, it is automaticaly maximized. But when this is done the "maximize", "minimize" and "close" buttons are gone. But if i maximize the window manually they stay. Also when i create two child windows and use the menu to cheange between the two child windows, the buttons reappear.
I'm using normal MDI view without the Doc part.

As far as I understand from M$ help, they prefer me to use IDL for defining my interfaces. However, if I have a Visual C++ V6.0 Project for an EXE, which has Automation enabled, then an ODL is produced and I cannot automatically use an IDL file. Should I worry about this?
The real problem is that I will have to mail the type library to others who want to use my EXE rather than just a neat IDL file. Is there a better way of doing this?
Any comments will be really appreciated.

Hi All...
Im using MFC and VC++6.
I have a class that i want to be able to pass and store a pointer to a member function of anther class so that i can call it at intervals of execution and pass status info back
How the hell to i get this right ?
Thanks in advance.
|
|

store the pointer to the second class instead of the pointer to the member function!
you cant get a pointer to a member function, which is not static, and static means, that the function is not assigned to a special class instance(no "this" ptr exists)!
Don't try it, just do it!

OK... Thanks Alexander.
I dont understand how that would help tho.
I have a Dialog Class, and a FTP class. I dont want the ftp class to know about the Dialog as i plan to use it again later for something else (a service)
So i have
class cMyDialog
{
private:
cMyFTP MyFTP;
}
class cMyFTP
{
public:
//Some how i know this decl is wrong
void SetStatusHandler(SOME THING HERE)
privte:
SOMEPOINTER pHandler
}
Am i doing about it the wrong way ?
Thanks again Cliff

this will only work, if the function pointer points to a static function!
i don't know what class the member function should be in, i assume it's CMyDialog...
So i have
class cMyDialog
{
public:
void Notify();
private:
cMyFTP MyFTP;
}
class cMyFTP
{
public:
void SetStatusHandler(CMyDialog *pDialog);
privte:
CMyDialog *pHandler;
}
void CMyFTP::SetStatusHandler(CMyDialog *pDialog)
{
...
pHandler = pDialog;
}
this is the only way if you want it to do it as u described!
Don't try it, just do it!

You could do something like the following...
class CFtpClass
{
....
public:
class CNotifyClass
{
public:
BOOL TellMeSomethingIDontKnow (DWORD dwFwibble) = 0;
};
BOOL RegisterNotification (CFtpClass::CNotifyClass *pNotify);
BOOL UnRegisterNotification (CFtpClass::CNotifyClass *pNotify);
....
};
class CMyDialog : public CDialog, CFtpClass::CNotifyClass
{
....
BOOL TellMeSomethingIDontKnow (DWORD dwFwibble);
}
BOOL CMyDialog::CMyDialog (....)
{
....
m_pFtp->RegisterNotification (this);
....
}
This may look suspiciously like INotifySink, for a good reason.
Or just have the Ftp class have a function to which you send a HWND of a dialog, and a message to
post when relevant. This means the dialog can go up in puff of smoke without risking crashing the
FTP class.
Did this help?
Iain.
