Kewl. Well, not sure where you're intercepting the 404, but responding with a 302 that redirects to your page sounds like the way to go.

Ok..

Now will that send me to the custom 404 page and leave the original address in the address bar? Smile | :)

Unfortunately that code redirects just fine, but it shows the URL up top.. Which I don't want, I just want the site that they tried to get to up there in the address bar. Smile | :)

This is what my code looks like here:

void __stdcall CIEBand::OnNavigateError(IDispatch* pDisp, VARIANT* URL, VARIANT* TargetFrameName, VARIANT* StatusCode, VARIANT_BOOL* &Cancel)
{
	if(StatusCode->intVal != HTTP_STATUS_OK)
	{
		CStringW c = "http://www.mysite.com/404.html";
		VARIANT_BOOL topLevel;
		if(m_pWb2 == pDisp && SUCCEEDED(m_pWb2->get_TopLevelContainer(&topLevel)) && topLevel)
		{
			//redirecting = true;
			m_pWb2->Stop();
			//*Cancel = VARIANT_TRUE;
			m_pWb2->Navigate2(&CComVariant(c), &vtMissing, TargetFrameName, &vtMissing, &vtMissing);
		}
	}
}

Well... can't give you a good solution, but here's a hack that might do for you. Navigate to this URL (replacing winamp.com with whatever):

javascript:document.write('<body style=\"overflow:hidden;margin:0px;padding:0px;border:none;\"><iframe src=\"http://www.winamp.com/\" style=\"margin:0px;padding:0px;border:none;width:100%;height:100%;\"></iframe></body>')

In MFC how can we find the ip address of our own computer?
Thanks. Smile | :)

Try gethostname() followed by gethostbyname().

hi Ravi,
thanks for pointing to that message. but this is what i meant--
is it possible to obtain ipaddress of a computer, when it is not connected to network. say u run mfc application on your computer and it prints out the ipaddress of your machine. i was wondering if there was any function available in mfc for this purpose.
thanks.

I suspect David's solution may just return 127.0.1.1 ("localhost") if you're not part of a LAN. Perhaps you want this[^] article?

I'm a tyro at VC++, but I've been following this thread with some interest. Forgive me if this is a stupid idea, but is there some way you can capture the output of a call to ShellExecute on the command ipconfig? If you're disconnected you may have to add the /all option to make it cough up inactive connections, and you're probably going to have to parse a bunch of text to capture the IP address. Just a thought - I haven't tried it. But I hope that it might provide some sort of solution, however kludgy it might be... Blush | :O

Hi,

The ShellExecute doesn't output the text returned by ipconfig, but you can redirect the output from ipconfig to a file!

For exemple: in the console (command prompt if you will) one can type
"ipconfig /all > somefile.txt".
This way the output will be written in "somefile.txt". If it doesn't exist, it'll be created.

Knowing this, the call to ShellExecute() will look like this

<FONT COLOR="blue">int</FONT> nResult = ShellExecute(hYourMainWindowHandle,
                           NULL,
                           "ipconfig /all > SomeFile.txt",
                           NULL,
                           NULL,
                           0
                           );

All you have to do is parse "SomeFile.txt".

Hope this helps Smile | :)

That was my thought - redirect to a file and read it back. But I assumed someone smarter than I might know a way to do it more efficiently C++. In Java, of course, you'd only have to do a

InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName(<host url="">);
byte[] addressBytes = address.getBytes();

to retrieve the machine address. Smile | :)

Making a CEdit control word-wrap?

I need to present a dialog to the user similar to an installer license agreement dialog. What is the best way to present many read-only lines of vertical-scrollable text to the user with automatic horizontal word-wrapping? I thought that something like word-wrapping would be a basic feature for the MFC CEdit control, but I couldn't find any option to enable it.

Make sure the multiline style is set (ES_MULTILINE), and make sure the automatic horizontal scrolling style is not (ES_AUTOHSCROLL). Also set ES_READONLY if you do not intend for it to be edited.

Are you SURE you've included it so that it is visible to the file that defines this variable ? Because, if you have, then this will work.

To reiterate: you are either not including this file, or you are including it in the wrong place, or it does not define what you think it does. Or possibly you have two files with that name, and the wrong one is being included.

It would help if you posted some code, and the error you are getting.
