When a menu is gone(the user clicks on an menu item, or hits the esc key, or clicks on the desktop, etc), can its parent window be notified? I only could find WM_INITMENU and WM_INITMENUPOPUP on MSDN, which are sent before the menu shows up, which are not I'm looking for...

There are WM_EXITMENULOOP and WM_UNINITMENUPOPUP, are those what you're looking for? You also get a WM_MENUSELECT with HIWORD(wParam)==0xFFFF and lParam==0 when the user cancels a menu.

Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
I think so Brain, but if we shaved our heads, we'd look like weasels!

WM_UNINITMENUPOPUP is exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much Mr. Michael.

The Problem:
I have a lot of old code which (unfortunately) isn't thread based.
A click to a button causes an action or calculation wich may last some time - say 1 - 3 minutes for example. I use progress bars to communicate the advance of the process to the user.
Since XP I have the problem, that everything (the progress bar) stucks up if I am activating another window and switch back to the original one (only a white screen).
In 2000 the program beaves different. If I try to activate another window of the same application, or try to close the application, windows says that the programm is not reacting. If I click abort -> the progess bar keeps running. Switching to another application and back does not work in 2000.
Solution:
Redesing the Code to run in threads.
Question:
Is there another, simpler way to accomplish the update? I guess, I have to call the message handler function of the active window or give the OS some time to accomplish all window - events.
Can anybody help me? A simple Answer: "There is no way, you have to use threads, would be enogh".
Thanks a lot.

I would like to remove focus editbox when user press Enter key(like Tab Key)
I can do it on create project by Dialogbase but can't do it on SDI
In CFormview
Now! I can't get Message for check press Enter key.
Please show example to me..
|
|
|
|
|
You can do this in PreTranslateMessage for the CFormView derived object.
You need to be careful, since some edit controls will WANT the enter key (if, for example, they are multiline).

I found that both CInternetSession.OpenUrl(...) and CHttpFile.SendRequest(...) write cookies automatically after return. but I really want to control this by myself, or can I prevent wininet from writing cookies, and them let me use SetCookie(...) to do seperately?
by the way, I do it at syc mode, for someone says wininet asyc is not multithread-safe.

Hi All,
I have a touch screen application and on one part of this i need the user to set the time. I have a CDateTimeCtrl to show the time to be set and buttons numbered 0 to 9 to allow the user to set the text for this. I have tried sending WM_KEYDOWN/WM_KEYUP/WM_CHAR messages when the user clicks one of these buttons to set the time but this has no effect, can anyone help me with this.
Cheers
Andy

Check out MSDN. See the messages that CDateTimeCtrl processes.

i want format a disk in a way of calling APIs or MFC method rather than calling like this:
ShellExecute(NULL, NULL, "format", "A: /v mylabel", NULL, SW_HIDE);

SHFormatDrive could be your way...
Don't try it, just do it!

Thank you very much. However, calling SHFormatDrive will prompt a dialog, while i am planning to do the work in my own dialog, what should i do?

How do you know? Is it producing an error?

Hi,
I want to subclass the Edit used to write a SQL-Query in MS Access. The edit is of the special Access class "OKttbx".
Everything works, I injected a DLL into the Access-Process and the subclassing works just fine but I can't get the Windowtext of the control...
I tried the GetWindowText()-Function but I only get a pointer to stuff (lol). The call to GetWindowText() is in the subclassed WindowProc (in WM_PAINT) and it is definitely no problem of address spaces (as mentioned before I'm in the Access-Process).
Has somebody an idea how I can get this to work?

Hello,
I have a semaphore controlled thread queue in my application. Now I have a problem to start my threads from the queue.
After call of _beginthread I get a thread-id not equal -1 and not equal 0, but my thread is not started (no trace message from thread, no break in breakpoint).
If I "help the application" with debugger "set next statement" to an other call of the _beginthread, I get an other thread-id (!= -1 && != 0), but thread is not started. In Taskmanager the threadcount is not inkremented.
Who can help me?
My application worked correcly under W2K. After compile the code with the .NET compiler the application works fine, besides on only one computer. But this computer is the machine, there must run the application 
Can it be a problem with not correct installed framework or libraries ?
An important remember is, that the threats will be started correcly after restart the application. After some thread calls (between 10 and 100) it doesnt work. All threads terminated via _endthread() and in a good time (1-300 seconds).
Thanks for any helping

Post the declaration of the callback function. Post the call to _beginthreadex().

Good morning kuphryn,
there are more than one threadfuncs. All of this have the same prototyp:
void ThreadFuncName (void *args);
The application have one timer for each thread to start, but no thread should be run, if there an other running thread. To solve this, I use an self written thread-calling-queue. If a timer call, the corresponding thread would be add to my queue. The queue use a simple list and each element is a struct like this:
typedef void (*ThreadFunc) (void *args);<br />
<br />
typedef struct _THREADLIST_STRUCT {<br />
ThreadFunc ThreadFkt;
long ThreadId;
_THREADLIST_STRUCT *next;
} THREADLIST_STRUCT;
And I have an other timer (1 second). He looks in me queue and is there a thread in and no other running thread, he starts the first element.
unsigned long t_id = 0;<br />
<br />
t_id = _beginthread (m_Root->ThreadFkt, 0, m_pParent);<br />
if (t_id != -1) {<br />
} else {<br />
/ do an error message<br />
}
Each access of the internal thread-list (AddThread, DelThread, StartThread, ...) is protected via a semaphore. Each thread remove himself from the queue at the end of thread and call _endthread().
As I already said, I works !!!, but after 10-100 thread-calls, it doesnt work again. The _beginthread () return a value != 0 and != -1 -> no error message. But the thread is'nt called. This effect exist only on one machine. The only one, there it should work in real life. This machine have:
- W2K with latest SP's and Updates
- complete installed Visual Studio .NET 2002 German (we have some problems with the compiler in the actual VS.NET !!)
- SQLServer ODBC driver
- pcAnywhere 10.5
Thanks
Stephan

Interesting.
I think the problem is m_Root points to an invalid memory address.
You do not need to call_endthread(). Let the thread end on its on. If you keep track of it via a handle, then close the handle.

Why does the application jumps into the catch (B* ex) and not the catch (D* ex)?
The dynamic type of p is D and not B!
#include "stdafx.h"
class B
{};
class D : public B
{};
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
try
{
B* p = new D;
throw p;
}
catch (D* ex)
{
delete ex;
printf("catch (D* ex)\n");
}
catch (B* ex)
{
delete ex;
printf("catch (B* ex)\n");
}
return 0;
}
Regards,
Daniel.

Object instance is of D but object type is B.

Because p is not a D*. It is a B*, which happens to be pointing to an instance of D. Nonetheless, the type of the pointer has not changed.
In other words, it's catching B* because that's what you're throwing. If you want it to catch D*, then you should throw D*.
e.g.: throw static_cast<D*>(p);
It's worth noting that you cannot use dynamic_cast here, because B is not considered a polymorphic type. i.e. It has no virtual functions.
