Seems you are trying to integrate "something" into explorer's context menu. Whatever it may be, you've to modify explorer's context menu.

1) One method is to write shell extension to implement IContextMenu. Refer this excellent article by Michael Dunn[^].

2) if you want to do it in very simple method without writing shell extension, then modify registry to add a specific menu item to shell which will execute your specified executable on clicking. Check the "Explorer Context Menu" section in this link[^].

U r using Mdi Application ?
Than Override OnSize in CChildFrm and you will get the functionality.

You can handle WM_GETMINMAXINFO or in MFC add a message map entry called
ON_WM_GETMINMAXINFO and function prototype looks like this ...
afx_msg void OnGetMinMaxInfo( MINMAXINFO FAR* lpMMI );

For disabling window resizing you've to handle WM_GETMINMAXINFO message. Check this [^]for code snippet.

Without seeing your code, it's going to be hard to say for sure. Did you use ClassWizard to create the handler function for it, or did you try to implement the function manually?

CListCTrl Hyperlink Problem

Dhiraj kumar Saini28-Aug-08 2:03

28-Aug-08 2:03

Hi,

I am using ClistCtrl Control with two column one displays the URL and the other displays the time.
I want that the url should appear as a hyperlink rather than a normal text and on clicking it the specified url should open in a browser

The code is as follows:

void CGetFootDlg::GetFootPrintURL(int n,CString strResponseFootPrints,CString g_strDelimFLD)
{
if(n>-1)
{
if(strResponseFootPrints.IsEmpty())
return;
CStringArray* ptrstrArray = CParser::Parse(strResponseFootPrints,g_strDelimFLD);

int j=ptrstrArray->GetSize()-1;
TCHAR szName[] = _T("Sandra C. Anschwitz");
::IsWindow(m_lstGetFootPrints.m_hWnd);
for(int i=0; i<ptrstrarray->GetSize(); i++)
{
LV_ITEM lvItem;
ZeroMemory(&lvItem, sizeof(LVITEM));
lvItem.mask = LVIF_TEXT;
lvItem.iSubItem = 0;
lvItem.iItem = i;
lvItem.pszText = szName;
lvItem.iImage = 0;

int nItem=m_lstGetFootPrints.InsertItem(i,szName);
int start=0,end=0,len;
CString str,strFPurl,strFDuration;
str=ptrstrArray->GetAt(i);
strFPurl=strFDuration=str;
len=str.GetLength();
end=strFPurl.Find(' ',0);
strFPurl=strFPurl.Mid(0,end);
start=strFDuration.Find(':',end+1);
strFDuration=strFDuration.Mid(start+1,len-1);

m_lstGetFootPrints.SetItemText(nItem,0,strFPurl);
m_lstGetFootPrints.SetItemText(nItem,1,strFDuration);
}
}
}

Can anyone help me.
Thanks

Keyboard and Mouse State

Alan Chambers28-Aug-08 1:58

Alan Chambers

28-Aug-08 1:58

Hi all

I'm wanting to retrieve the current keyboard and mouse state without having to wait for an event message.

I basically have a main thread and a window thread. The window thread handles the windows message pump so that if my app locks up, it can still process close messages etc. The main thread is where I am wanting to do the device state reads.

Everything I've looked at so far (RAWINPUT, SetWindowsHookEx) rely on an event message being posted before I am able to read the state from the device. This is no good to me.

I've also looked at GetKeyboardState(..) but that only retrieves the keyboard state in the thread that is handling the windows messages, so calling it from the main thread does not work (but calling it from the window thread does).

I'm starting to think the only way is to get access to the device driver and directly read from the device.

Anyone know any decent articles on this?

Thanks,
Alan.

Not sure because I have not used this function much, but anyway MSDN says this...

The status does not change as keyboard messages are posted to the thread's message queue, nor does it change as keyboard messages are posted to or retrieved from message queues of other threads. (Exception: Threads that are connected through AttachThreadInput share the same keyboard state.)

Does that help?

Hi thanks for the reply, but it doesn't really help me. I've read the MSDN articles pretty thoroughly and that function basically only works on threads which have created a window using CreateWindow or CreateWindowEx and have a message pump. Since I've created the window on a separate thread, GetKeyboardState() only actually works if it's called within that threads loop, but it won't work on another thread unless AttachThreadInput() is used to share the message processing. However, AttachThreadInput() cannot be attached from or to the system thread (which is the one i'm using for my app) and in any case it would need to be a thread that has created a window and uses a windows message pump as well, which it does not.

Looks like what I'm after is quite low-level, raw device state reading functionality but all I'm seeing is Windows event driven solutions. There's got to be a way to bypass all this windows guff and read directly from whatever hardware is present..surely..?

Cheers for trying tho Smile | :)

Alan.

hi
iam doing a project where it has 2 different apps
1. bluetooth app
2. device driver app.

both in c++.

now can i implement a shared memeory concept in (c++) windows where both the process should access a single place for the data.
if possible how to do it.

Actually, the jargon is IPC[^].

There are several ways mechanisms supported by windows to achieve IPC, one of which would be to use WM_COPYDATA[^]. Look up MSDN[^] for more details. You may also search for articles on individual topics at CP and Google. There are plenty of examples around.

I dont think there is a direct function to get server time
So you have to implement a command to get time from the server.
User defined protocol.
