Hi All
i have a modeless dialog which i use as a wait screen.
this appears ontop of a dialog that is called
for example you click "Ok" the wait dialog appears
then once the function is completed the modless(wait) dialog disappear,
my problem is, if the user clicks away from the modless dialog, although
its still there focus can go somewhere else
how can i set the focus, on the modless dialog so that i cant click elsewhere
and that the modless dialog stays in focus until it disapears

I have an edit control that is placed inside a custom popup window that I wrote. The popup appears, and then transfers fopcus to the edit control. When the user hits an Esc or Tab key something makes the computers internal speaker "beep", I presume through a call to Beep(). Is there any way to prevent this, as it's really annoying.

ESC and TAB are handled by the default Dialog Procedure, and the beeping usually indicates something is wrong with the styles set for the popup window (don't ask me what's valid and what not, though...)

Hello guys,
I used to print the content of a RichEditText control with following code.
But now I would like to print it in landscape and with paper specifications (12cm x8.5cm).
All articles I read are talking about the famous DEVMODE, but I have no clue how to insert this DEVMODE in my existing code.
Can you hep me ?
Thanks in advance

Something like this should get you away ...
Do this to prepare the printer DC before you start printing. (pDC is a pointer to the printer DC).
CString csPrinterName = printDialog->GetDeviceName();
_TCHAR *szPrinterName = csPrinterName.GetBuffer(0);
DWORD dwRet;
HANDLE hPrinter;
if (!OpenPrinter(szPrinterName, &hPrinter, NULL))
return;
LPDEVMODE lpDevMode;
dwRet = DocumentProperties(m_hWnd, hPrinter, szPrinterName, NULL, NULL, 0);
lpDevMode = (LPDEVMODE)malloc(dwRet);
dwRet = DocumentProperties(m_hWnd, hPrinter, szPrinterName, lpDevMode, NULL, DM_OUT_BUFFER);
if (dwRet != IDOK)
{
free(lpDevMode);
ClosePrinter(hPrinter);
return;
}
if ((lpDevMode->dmFields & DM_ORIENTATION))
lpDevMode->dmOrientation = DMORIENT_LANDSCAPE;
dwRet = DocumentProperties(m_hWnd, hPrinter, szPrinterName, lpDevMode, lpDevMode, DM_IN_BUFFER|DM_OUT_BUFFER);
ClosePrinter(hPrinter);
if (dwRet != IDOK)
{
free(lpDevMode);
return;
}
pDC->ResetDC(lpDevMode);
free(lpDevMode);

Hello,
Thanks for your answer but I have some additionnal questions for you :
1) compared to my code, what do you mean by "before you start printing" ? at which moment exactly should I do this ?
2) is the way I set my paper length and height ok?
3) I tried to insert your code in mine, just before my "HDC hPrinterDC = printDialog.CreatePrinterDC();" line and I get the following compil errors : OpenPrinter, DocumentProperties and ClosePrinter are considered as undeclared identifiers ... Do I need an special include or what ?
4) pDC is a pointer to the printer DC ? How do I get this ?
5) "// add in here any other changes to the DEVMODE you need"
something like :
lpDevMode->dmPaperSize = 0;
lpDevMode->dmPaperLength = 120;
lpDevMode->dmPaperWidth = 85;
and what about the dmFields ?
Thanks in advance for extra explanations

My answer was intended to set you on the right track so that you could solve the problem for yourself and learn something aliong the way. I did not and do not intend to write the code for you.
However...
1) "before you start printing" means beofre you start outputting anything to the printer DC.
3) The code is intended to prepare the printer DC so include it AFTER you create the printer DC.
Work out the rest for yourself. Don't be afraid to press F1 occasionally and read the documentation. It takes a little longer the first time but you will have learned something instead of blindly using code you don't understand.

If I asked you for more details, it is simply because I don't see any link between your code and mine and, as it is, it does not help me at all. I don't see how I can use it. Evermore, I received compilation errors.
<>
It is not what I expected from you, I just need some explanations that I could understand and, if possible, linked to the code I wrote . This will probably help me to understand this function usage
<<1) "before you start printing" means before you start outputting anything to the printer DC.>>
Is this answer supposed to help me ... really ??
<<work out="" the="" rest="" for="" yourself.="">>
Work is what I am doing almost every nights until 2am when I write my (quite big) application after my normal work day. I can't offer me the luxury to loose 2 days in searching and trying without success.
<<don't be="" afraid="" to="" press="" f1="" occasionally="" and="" read="" the="" documentation.="">>
I spend 2 days to "play" with MSDN documentation and search thru codeproject and codeguru articles to find a basic article that explains how to use this DEVMODE easily in a context that matches my type of program. I also wrote a lot of code to try it. Ok. I can retrive the current DEVMODE, but when I change the content, how do I precise that I want to use it ?? ResetDC is a CDC method, I have no CDC, just a HDC, so ... And it is because I did not find the correct way to use it, that I finally post my question ...
<<it takes="" a="" little="" longer="" the="" first="" time="" but="" you="" will="" have="" learned="" something="" instead="" of="" blindly="" using="" code="" don't="" understand.="">>
I am trying to find a solution that suits my code, I am not copying your code without trying to understand it, it is not very funny.
Nevertheless, thanks for your time and your example I can't understand.

I have set up an application hook procedure. This hook is looking for WM_INITMENUPOPUP, WM_MEASUREITEM and WM_DRAWITEM messages so that I can make all menus shown by the application ownerdrawn.
The hook does catch these as required, but its the actual processing of the message I am having trouble with.
For example. My WM_MEASUREITEM handler correctly measures the menu item and returns the correct size, yet when I get to the WM_DRAWITEM message to draw it, the size comes through as 12 * 16, which is the default size of a menu item which has not been measured (not processed WM_MEASUREITEM).
It looks like I cannot modiy the MEASUREITEM struct members in the hook procedure and have the application use these values.
I have tried both the WH_CALLWNDPROC and WH_CALLWNDPROCRET hook methods for before/after porcessing of the message, but regardless the system is not using the sizes I measure for the items.
Anyone know of this problem or how to get around it? The docs on hooks are pretty sparse.
I would also like to know whether is possible from within the hook procedure to stop the application processing the message as I have already done the work in the hook procedure.

Are you assigning lpMeasureItemStruct->itemHeight the new height?
void CMyView::OnMeasureItem(int nIDCtl, LPMEASUREITEMSTRUCT lpMeasureItemStruct)
{
...
...
...
lpMeasureItemStruct->itemHeight = nNewHeight;
...
...
...
}

If I get it working it will become another article.
Here is some of the code:
LRESULT CALLBACK CODMenu::HookFunction(int code, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
CWPSTRUCT * cwpStruct = (CWPSTRUCT*)(lParam);
ASSERT(m_activeObject != NULL);
switch (cwpStruct->message)
{
case WM_MEASUREITEM:
{
LPMEASUREITEMSTRUCT lpMIS = (LPMEASUREITEMSTRUCT)(cwpStruct->lParam);
m_activeObject->OnMeasureItem(cwpStruct->wParam, lpMIS);
TRACE("Measure Item is %1d by %1d\n", lpMIS->itemWidth, lpMIS->itemHeight);
}
break;
case WM_DRAWITEM:
{
m_activeObject->OnDrawItem(cwpStruct->wParam, (LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT)(cwpStruct->lParam));
TRACE("WM_DRAWITEM\n");
}
break;
}
return ::CallNextHookEx(m_hookHandle, code, wParam, lParam);
}
LRESULT CALLBACK CODMenu::HookFunctionAfter(int code, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
CWPRETSTRUCT * cwpretStruct = (CWPRETSTRUCT*)(lParam);
ASSERT(m_activeObject != NULL);
switch (cwpretStruct->message)
{
case WM_INITMENUPOPUP:
{
m_activeObject->OnInitMenuPopup(CMenu::FromHandle((HMENU)cwpretStruct->wParam), LOWORD(cwpretStruct->lParam), (BOOL)HIWORD(cwpretStruct->lParam));
TRACE("WM_INITMENUPOPUP\n");
}
break;
case WM_MEASUREITEM:
{
LPMEASUREITEMSTRUCT lpMIS = (LPMEASUREITEMSTRUCT)(cwpretStruct->lParam);
TRACE("After Measure Item is %1d by %1d\n", lpMIS->itemWidth, lpMIS->itemHeight);
}
break;
}
return ::CallNextHookEx(m_hookHandleAfter, code, wParam, lParam);
}

To stop further processing of the message, have your hook procedure return 1 (one) instead of calling CallNextHook
LRESULT CALLBACK MyHook(int nCode, WPARAM wp, LPARAM lp)
{
...
return 1;
}

Hi PJ,
I have tried what you suggested. It does stop any further hook procedures being called, but it does not stop the target window from processing the message which is what I really need to do in this case.
If I can do this, then it should clear up my main problem which is that the hook intercept WM_MEASUREITEM and returns the size of the menu item in the LPMEASUREITEMSTRUCT object. The thing is, the CWnd default handler gets a different LPMEASURITEM struct pointer to the hook procedure which means that in effect what I return in the hook is ignored.
If I can suppress the target window processing WM_MEASUREITEM then I think it would accept the values returned by the hook and fix my problem.
Cheers for any sugesstions

According to MSDN, you can not modify the messages via the WH_CALLWNDPROC and WH_CALLWNDPROCRET hooks. I have used the method I suggested (return 1) in my CWindowScroller[^] class to supress user input, so I just assumed it should work for you also.
Have you tried using the WH_MSGFILTER hook instead? According to MSDN you can change things via this hook.

I have tried WH_GETMESSAGE, but it doesn't get the WM_DRAWITEM and WM_MEASUREITEM messages.
I eneded up going with a combination hook/WndProc replacement technique which works correctly.
I should get an article up in the next few days about a new ownerdrawn menu method using 2 lines of code. An include and declaration of an object.
Thanks for the help.

You solved your problem, so this post is probably useless, but I have to answer anyway.
From my understanding of MSDN, WH_GETMESSAGE monitors messages posted to the message queue and is called whenever the GetMessage or PeekMessage functions are called. What is probably happening is that the WM_DRAWITEM and WM_MEASUREITEM messages are never posted to the queue, but rather sent directly via the SendMessage function. The WH_MSGFILTER hook is supposed to work with menus, among others, but I do not know if it catches those two messages.
Looking forward to the article.

Hello!
I'm playing around with Windows disk-quotas, using the IDiskQuotaControl interface. On lokal machine it works fine, but I also would like to get quotas of remote machines. Is there any way to initialize the IDiskQuotaControl-object for a remote path? For a lokal path I do it this way:
hr = pIDiskQuotaControl->Initialize("c:\\", true);
Any help with this would be great.
Thank you,
Markus

I would imagine you could use something like:
hr = pIDiskQuotaControl->Initialize("\\\\machine\\c$", true);I've not tried this but if it fails, you'll at least know of a way that does not work.

Very good idea, I tried it and it returns 123, this is ERROR_INVALID_NAME, but this brought me to
hr = pIDiskQuotaControl->Initialize("\\\\machine\\c:\\", true);
, which returns 5, ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. Another tip I got was to run it as a domain admin, perhaps this it work then.
Thanks for your help!

Just wanted to use the Clipboard within my application.
I did download Tom Archers example from the Code Project, but it failed to build with error:-
SimpleTextTransfer error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ?0CRect@@QAE@XZ referenced in function "public: void __thiscall CDragListBox::DrawSingle(int)" (?DrawSingle@CDragListBox@@QAEXH@Z)
Also if I just want to Copy/Paste text from a listCtrl is it that complicated?
Any comments please.

I am currently writing an installer (using the Windows Installer Setup Project from VC .net) and need to install along with the package a couple of Command Line tools. I would like to update the windows PATH environment variable at install / uninstall time.
Does anyone know the "Correct" way of doing this, rather than just hacking about with the registry.
Thanks
Dave

Try this:
TCHAR tszBuf[MAX_PATH];
GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", tszBuf, MAX_PATH);
Maybe not the best way, but at least better than reading it directly from the registry 
Dominik
_outp(0x64, 0xAD);
and
__asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al
do the same... but what do they do??
