Re: How to correctly see order of controls in design time, in a CDialog ?

thanks for discussion.

Z-order meand- visible depth, or sequence how to controls appears- next over previous by look.

It possbile to edit directly ctrl-d, or by sequence in rc file.

Problem is now following:

In design mode I see REVERSE order - from wich I will see really when press test or run-time.

May be some option do this REVERSE ?
Do some one know which option do that and
how to correct?

Dialog in rc file looks like:
IDD_Domain_1 DIALOGEX 0, 0, 575, 319
STYLE DS_SETFONT | DS_MODALFRAME | DS_3DLOOK | DS_FIXEDSYS | WS_MINIMIZEBOX |
WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "xxx"
FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg", 400, 0, 0x1
BEGIN
...

Thanks you.

Problem with slider-control and NM_CUSTOMDRAW

Hi folks!

I want to have an ownerdrawn trackbar (Slider) control. Therefore I check for a WM_NOTIFY event with NM_CUSTOMDRAW in the code member of the NMHDR-structure. Let me give a short code example

code:

case WM_NOTIFY:
lpNotify = (LPNMHDR)lParam;
switch(lpNotify->idFrom)
{
case IDC_SLIDER1:
switch(lpNotify->code)
{
case NM_CUSTOMDRAW:
lpDraw = (LPNMCUSTOMDRAW)lParam;
switch(lpDraw->dwDrawStage)
{
case CDDS_PREPAINT:
return CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
case CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT:
switch(lpDraw->dwItemSpec)
{
case TBCD_CHANNEL:
FillRect(lpDraw->hdc,&lpDraw->rc,(HBRUSH)GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH));
return CDRF_SKIPDEFAULT;

case TBCD_THUMB:
FillRect(lpDraw->hdc,&lpDraw->rc,(HBRUSH)GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH));
return CDRF_SKIPDEFAULT;
}
break;
}
break;
}
break;
}
break;

Well, this works fine up to the CDDS_PREPAINT part, where I request an interaction into the control's drawing procedure.
But I never reach the most important part of CDDS_ITEMREPAINT where I acutally paint the control. I've read tons of documentations of this function and all describe it this way.

Does anyone know why it doesn't work for my example?

thanks in advance

This article [^] should provide useful info.

The technique you mention works well for me, but I use a class derived from CSliderCtrl (sounds more logical that an object draws itself), and use message reflection to get the CustomDraw notification (ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT(NM_CUSTOMDRAW, OnCustomDraw))

And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly for a white guy

Thanks for the article. But I'm looking for a solution with any use of MFC-classes. Does anyone know a solution just using plain Win-API.

Mouse Highlighting

I would like to be able to highlight a section of a graph, very similar to audio programs highlighting a wav pattern by using the mouse. Any ideas?

Thanks

You can draw a rectangle area, the "selection", in XOR; look for CDC::SetRop2.

you also need to handle the mouse down, move and up to start and manage the drawing.

Hi
I would like to know how to make a toolbar button toggle. For example, in MDI if there are two child windows and corresponding buttons on the toolbar for them, if the button

is clicked once then the child window should appear and when it is clicked for the second time the child window should dissappear. Please help me regarding this. This is urgent.

Thanking you,
Regards

MDI Problem!

I generated a FormView Dialog in a MDI, I can use a item in Menu to active and display the dialog, however, when I click the MINIMIZEDBOX on the dialog, it will disappear, and I can't find it back ever.

I must say this dialog didn't destroy normally!

What should I do , do you meet with this kind of problem?

Declaring a global variable of a template type

Hi there

I am writing a program to use linked lists using templates, and i am trying to make it as fast as possible, so i am thinking of storing the address of the last inserted item.
Each node of the list if declared as follows:

template <class ItemType>
struct NodeList
{
ItemType *item;
NodeList<ItemType> *next;
}

what i am trying to do is to declare a global variable like

template <class ItemType>
NodeList<ItemType> *last_inserted=NULL;

, but the compiler won't allow me to do that. If instead i declare it as
NodeList<<int>> *last_inserted=NULL, it is ok, but it would work for integers only.

How can I get this to work???

Thanks

Have you thought about using the STL to do this? It does exactly what you need, is about as fast as you can get, and most importantly, it works without you needing to re-invent something. An example can be found here[^].

If you really must create your own linked list, then there is no need to use a global (which is a bad thing to do anyway) for the next position. Instead, store it in the class that provides the list operations.

DirectSound - Window Handle problem

elza8-Jan-04 0:31

I have an UI based application designed using DirectSOund to capture nad playback voice. But teh problem is that it expects the UI window to be on top and on focus always. Presently I am passing the handle to the main UI application so when i minimize it our bring another application on top of this no audio can be heard though capturing takes place.

Presently I am setting DSSCL_PRIORITY in SetCooperativelevel. I have also tried the other levels....NORMAL, etc.

anybody worked on DirectSound ?Any solution to this ??

The first snippet is just wrong - you're overwriting the actual pointer to the memory block, which causes delete[] to simply do nothing in release mode. There's probably an assert in debug mode to tell you that you're trying to delete a null pointer.

If your debug mode is telling you about a problem, you should probably listen. Release mode doesn't do as much checking. Could you be corrupting this pointer somehow?

It would help if you posted the error message(s).

I wish to elaborate on what mike said.

char* pCharPointer = new char[intLength]; // pCharPointer now contians an address like 0x50FC3456

pCharPointer = NULL; // pCharPointer now contians 0x00000000

delete [] pCharPointer; // does nothing and is still a valid call

char* pCharPointer = new char[intLength]; // pCharPointer now contians an address like 0x50FC3456

delete [] pCharPointer; // frees/releases memory
delete [] pCharPointer; // error - already free
pCharPointer = NULL; // pCharPointer now contians 0x00000000
delete [] pCharPointer; // does nothing and is still a valid call

Hi at all,
is there a way to send messages from an application A to an other
application B?
Application A is mine, application B is not mine. Application B has an icon
in the status bar.
With application A i would like to send messages, like WM_KEYDOWN or right
button click, to appliaction B via its icon on the status bar.
It is possible?

thanks a lot
