Thanks guy
Then I can change the style on run time?
To get I use GetExStyle and to set?
Best Regards

It seems that MFC lacks the appropriate function. Here is a function you can use to quickly change the style flag. It assumes that you implement it as a part of a class derived from CWnd (any control or window)

void CMyWndClass::SetExStyle(DWORD dwExStyle)
{
    // Set the window extended style
    ::SetWindowLong( this->m_hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, (long)dwExStyle );<DIV>

    // Force a refresh on the window, so that cached data is cleared
    this->SetWindowPos(NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_FRAMECHANGED | SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE );
}

Remember to implement this function as a member in your CWnd-derived class. Otherwise you need to modify the parameters so that the function receives a HWND parameter or a CWnd class pointer. Also, the 'this' pointer must be modified in such a case.

waveInPrepareHeader increases handle

13-May-04 5:14

Why is every time waveInPrepareHeader is invoked a handle got created?

Will this generate memory leak?

How can I close the created handle?

I have a audio recording program that records multiple sound cards in the system and is expected to stay up very long period of time. But my memory and handle usages keep on going up which may eventually crash my application.

To check out the real reason which handles are being created/used etc., use the following utility from microsoft:

Follow up question:

If I reuse the same buffer, do I need to call waveInPrepareHeader every time before I call waveInAddBuffer?

If I can skip calling waveInPrepareHeader before I reuse the same buffer, I think the handle and memory usage can stay constant.

You call waveInPrepareHeader once for each buffer, then call waveInAddBuffer initially and then every time you received a buffer back and need to submit it again.

When done, you call waveInUnprepareHeader for each buffer then waveInClose when all done. (Note that you have to get the buffer back to call waveInUnprepareHeader. It's been a long time since I've worked on wave code, but i believe you call waveInReset() to force the buffers to be returned to you.)

RbuttonDown and OnCommand

13-May-04 10:38

Thanks Joe and Bikram.

Yes, the key is re-submit the same buffer. I didn't know how to submit received buffer again.

Now with output from oh as suggested by Bikram and the hint from Jeo, I think I found a solution:

As Joe mentioned, I invoke waveInPrepareHeader only when a buffer first created.
Then, every time when I received a buffer back from OS, I set dwFlags to WHDR_PREPARED before calling waveInAddBuffer. It looks it is working. My memory and handle usages are stay constant while it is running and I am getting audio input.

Hi guys
I've got a dialog and a control on it.
When I leftclick on the control an OnCommand is generated on the dialog.All is right to me.
But when I do a rightclick on the control the OnCommand is not generated.
It is possible to do something easily to have the same behavior than when I do a leftclick?
Best Regards

you overload the WM_RBTDOWN (or something like that), and you call the function you wrote for the left click into that new one.

Thanks for the answer but the problem is that my dialog is not receiving WM_RBTDOWN or WM_COMMAND.
The WW_RBTDOWN is received by the control not by the dialog and I need that an ON_COMMAND in the dialog be generated.

i'm not sure i understand. if the condtrol can catch it, so, there is no pb ?!
you add a function in your dialog class, you get sure that the WM_RBTDOWM is correcty inserted into AFX code lines, and that's ok for you... no ?

When you right click in a control on a Dialog, the dialog is not receiving the OnRButtonDown, is the control that is receiving it, and I need that the dialog receive the Rbuttondown.

Lose the OnCommand() handler. You did not mention what the control is, so I tried it with both a list control and an edit control. For the list control, I handled the NM_CLICK and the NM_RCLICK messages. Both of these produced a ON_NOTIFY() handler in the dialog's message map. For the edit control, I added ON_WM_LBUTTONDOWN() and ON_WM_RBUTTONDOWN() to the message map of the edit control's class.

Sorry David it's a Picture Control with a class derived from CStatic.

David Crow13-May-04 6:55

No matter. Derive a class from CStatic. Provide handlers for both the WM_LBUTTONDOWN and WM_RBUTTONDOWN messages. Make sure the control has the SS_NOTIFY style.

Sorry David
Maybe it's my fault and I haven't explained correctly.
I've got a dialog with a picture control.
I've already got a Class derived from CStatic with WM_RBUTTONDOWN and WM_LBUTTONDOWN messages.Here all is clear.
But what I need is when I Right click on the Picture control, to generate an OnCommand message in my dialog.
When I left click on the picture control an Oncommand is generated in my dialog, but when I right click no.
Any suggestion?
Best Regards
Doc

Nah, I just didn't see the need of using OnCommand() when there are other (more direct) ways of being notified. Anyway, I think you are being plagued by the control having the WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY style. Removing this style at run-time results in both left and right clicks being sent to the control's parent. The parent will need to handle the WM_PARENTNOTIFY message.

Sorry for my ignorace.
But how can I remove WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY at runtime?
I know GetExStyle and how to change the value (dwExStyle &= ~WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY ) but to set the changed value to the control?
Best Regards
