Maybe someone can help me on this: I'm creating a MFC custom control which is a combination of a CEdit and a CSpinButtonCtrl. The control is created solely by code, i.e. no resource editor.
The problem is that the edit control paints itself incorrectly. Let me explain:
1.) Directly after showing the dialog with the custom controls it looks this way (the control in question is the control labeled "Breite der Bilder"):
<a href="http://www.magerquark.de/data/misc/mfc-cedit-01.png">Screenshot 1</a> [<a target=_blank title='New Window' href="http://www.magerquark.de/data/misc/mfc-cedit-01.png">^</a>] As you can see, the border around the CEdit is missing and the text ("640") is hanging on the upper left border.
2.) If I move the mouse over the control it looks this way:
<a href="http://www.magerquark.de/data/misc/mfc-cedit-02.png">Screenshot 2</a> [<a href="http://www.magerquark.de/data/misc/mfc-cedit-02.png" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>] I.e. now it paints the border but the text is still in the upper left corner, now partially hidden by the border.
3.) The control resizes when the user sizes the dialog. Now when the size was change, suddenly it looks correct, as in this screenshot:
<a href="http://www.magerquark.de/data/misc/mfc-cedit-03.png">Screenshot 3</a> [<a href="http://www.magerquark.de/data/misc/mfc-cedit-03.png" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>] As you can see, now the "640" has 'snapped down' to the correct position (in contrast to the control labeled "Breite der Vorschaubilder", which doesn't scale). Also, the CEdit border now is always visible.
So something must happen upon scaling. I already examined the styles of the CEdit before and after scaling with Spy++ and also compared with CEdit controls created with the resource editor. The styles are always the same, so these are not the cause of the display-error.
Question: Can someone enlighten me about why this display-error occures an how I can get rid of it?
Thank you
Uwe

I do not know why the error occurs, but I have seen some controls appear one way and then readjust as if they have received a second invalidate rectangle command (or a resize command).
It occurs to me that when Chris Maunder designed the MFC grid control 2.25, he may have ran into that problem. So it might be worth looking at.
Good Luck!

I assume that the edit control is not a direct child of the dialog - it's a child of an intermediate container control. Can you tell if there are any messages (WM_NCPAINT comes to mind) that are being blocked by the container on initialisation, but are allowed to pass to the edit control later on.

I've seen something similar before... I forget exactly what I was doing, but a call to
control.SetWindowPos ( NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0,
SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOSIZE|SWP_NOZORDER|SWP_FRAMECHANGED );made the control redraw properly. (The SWP_FRAMECHANGED flag is the important part)

Tried that and some other methods, unfortunately without succeess. I already thought that the CEdit thinks it is "maximized" (without border) and when sizing it gets "restored" (with border).
I now examined with Spy++ and logged all messages that appear right before and right after the sizing.
These are the messages:
<a href="http://www.magerquark.de/data/misc/spy.png">Screenshot</a> [<a href="http://www.magerquark.de/data/misc/spy.png" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>] I now start investigating, maybe someone already has an idea which message causes the correct repaint.

What finally helped me is the following solution:
CRect rect;
control.GetWindowRect( rect );
control.GetParent()->ScreenToClient( rect );
control.ModifyStyleEx( WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, 0 );
control.ModifyStyleEx( 0, WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE );
VERIFY(control.SetWindowPos(
NULL,
rect.left,
rect.top,
rect.Width(),
rect.Height(),
SWP_FRAMECHANGED ));I've tested under Windows XP so far only, I will see whether it works on other systems, too.

I am currently trying to add variable names to radio buttons and combo boxes. Once I add a variable name to the radio buttons, my program no longer runs properly, if at all.
Please help!!

Changing names on buttons is a simple matter (SetWindowText). So there must be more to this problem. Are you running the debug version with a memory validator turned on (that would help a little). There is also the possibility that the cause occured because of an error in your code that happen before you changed the name, but that usualy results in a runtime error.
Insuffient information!

what is the error you are getting when you compile the project ?
|
|
|
|
|
I am not getting an error message. That is the weird thing. My dialog window just doesn't pop up when I hit run. My program runs fine until I right click on the button and go to add variable. These are the lines that are making it mess up, because if i comment them out, it runs fine again:
This is declared in my .h file:
CButton m_remOff;
This is generated in the dodataexchange function:
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_RADIO_REMOFF, m_remOff);
Also if I make a line like m_remOff.setCheck(true) that causes problems.
Is there another line of code that should be generated automatically somewhere else? I am using .net 2003.

I'm not an advanced programmer, but I thought having SOME reply is better than nothing...
I get your behavior sometimes and often it's because the number/label of your ID (ID_RADIO_REMOFF) is not in sync with other parts of the code (dialog designer), so ensure that all these references match.
Also, I believe that the DDX stuff is for moving data between a control and a simple data variable (e.g., int, CString, etc.), so it seems odd to me that there needs to be an exchange of data between your dialog control and your local variable that points to that control.

First of all, I want to thanks that you spend your time to read my problem.
I have three classes in my program. Student is the base class. Graduate is derivated from Student class. studentDB is a class that includes both Student and Graduate class.
I use a STL container to save the data which could be Student or Graduate .
When I save data to an outfile, I got a problem. Visual C++ shows me a message below.
'show_thesis_topic' : is not the member of 'student'.
I know I can fix the problem if I create a Graduate class instead of Student class.
But I just want to know have any idea that I can also use to fix the problem.
Thanks your help. Bless you.

Before trying to output data related to a Graduate you need to first try to convert the base student pointer (in list) to a Graduate pointer. You do that by trying to cast it using dynamic_cast, if it fails it is not a Graduate.
// output data common to all students
...
// try to cast student pointer to Graduate pointer
Graduate* pG = dynamic_cast<graduate*>(pStudent);
if( pG ) // if Graduate
{
// output data of graduate students
cout<<pg->show_thesis_topic();
}
// finish up
...
I beleive that is what you are looking for.
P.S. You did not need to post evey thing, only enough to show the problem.
(Pesonaly I ignored the rest).

i never got to understand the way you can hook a window function like CopyFileA or RegSetValueW for exmple. can someone explain it to me or give me some good site where I can read more about this. I would be veru greatful. I want to know how to it without drivers for now.
Thank you

If there is away to hook a function, I have never heard of it. I can think of a few ways this might be accomplished, but it would take a lot of reaserch (and the system security should object to that level of interference).
Hooks are away of intercepting messages being sent from one place to anouther. You can redirect the messages, stop them from being proccessed or allow them to be pass on to there inteneded target.
What you probaly are looking for is articles on hooking in windows. There are several articles at CP and probably at CodeGuru.com. There is also a number of articles on drawing menues and etc... that use hooks to redirect messages to there own drawing code.
I hope that helps!

On Windows XP and others it is possible to sign on without a user name or password. Is the default user name always default or can it contain another value?

Not if the adiminstrator has set it up to disallow it.

No and Yes! It is up to the administrator.

I have this problem, im used to doing winsock program in vb, when i create multiple connection in vb, i just create an array of it, i tried doing this in c++/win32api the problem is, when a connection connected to certain
socket[index] closes i have no idea which socket it is. coz i have no idea how to retreive the index of the socket that got the disconnection. does anyone know a way to know which socket got the disconnection?
I have no idea

I don't but it might help if you gave two very short code examples. That is give one example of how you do it in VB and one example of how you are doing it in C++. That should provide enough information for someone to give a good answer (possibly even me).

///this is just a part of the code its kinda messy i just starting to learn c++/winapi.
SOCKET m_socket[chatter];
else if(msg==WM_SOCKET)
{
switch(WSAGETSELECTEVENT(lParam))
{
case FD_ACCEPT:
char socknum[30];
sprintf(socknum,"%d",sock);
strcat(socknum,"Connection Detected on socket ");
SendtoChat(socknum);
m_socket[sock]=accept(m_socket[0],NULL,NULL);
sock++;
break;
case FD_CLOSE:
SendtoChat("Closing Detected");
//closesocket(m_socket[1]);
break;
case FD_READ:
char str[1000];
memset(str,0,1000);int ctr=1;
while(ctr!=chatter)
{
recv(m_socket[ctr],str,sizeof(str),0);
ctr++;
}
ctr=1;
while(ctr!=chatter)
{
if(send(m_socket[ctr],str,sizeof(str),0)==SOCKET_ERROR)
{
}
ctr++;
}
SendtoChat(str);
//MessageBox(hwnd,str,"",MB_OK);
//free(str);
break;
}

What i want to do is evrytime someone disconnects.. i wanna know which socket got the disconnection... so when soemone try to request connection i will know which index is available for connection and so i could give that index to the connection requesting.... i can just make a loop until it doesnt get an error to see if someone is connected to it or not but then i dont want it to be unorganized.... and another thing sometimes port scanners connects to a winsock program and fools the program for a legitimate connection so i want it to be more organize so i will know whch connection is legitimate or not
Maybe, is there a way to know if someone is connected to one socket?
I have no idea

What you try to do is implement yur own homemade connection pool, not an easy task if you are new to working with sockets.
The easiest way to make a program, like what it looks like you are doing, is using blocking sockets and use a new thread for each connection. When a client disconnect from the socket you just close it and ends the thread.
When a new client connect, you just spawn a new thread and talk to the client from that thread...
More advanced ways to do it (and faster and better) is to use async sockets...
Take a look at all the articles here on CP, there are plenty both simple samples and more advanced ones...

If you havn't yet, you might want to read the articles by Nishant (at CP) on Winsock including Multithreading.
