I am trying to programmatically change the mouse
horizontal/vertical sensitivity within MSVC++ 5.0. I am
using inline assembly to invoke mouse interrupts (INT 33) to
Get and then Set the sensitivities. (Microsoft took the
Int86() function out of this version.) My problem is I lose
my mouse buttons when forcing this interrupt and I have to
reboot to get them back.
I have disassembled some current mouse drivers and am
confident(not really) that I am using the correct assembly
code. I suspect that because I am invoking the INT 33 as a
result of a button push on a dialog box that the message
queue or interrupt handler is going recursive. But I am not
sure.
I can set the mouse acceleration factors just fine by using
the SystemParametersInfo() function.
Can anyone give me a hint or a different technique on
setting the mouse sensitivities.
Below is the inline asm listing. It is in the OnHScroll
event for a slider bar.
__asm{
push ebx
push ecx
push edx
mov ax,0x001b
INT 0x33 //MOUSE_INT
mov [h], bx
mov [v], cx
mov [s], dx
pop edx
pop ecx
pop ebx
xor ax, ax
}
Thanks in advance. . .

Anyone have a program or example that uses CSocket or CAsynSocket over an IPX network?

I have seen several apps on Win98 that use softshape's
ActiveSkin ActiveX control. Mostly this control allows people
to haev a coherent means for creating skinned 'applications'. It includes
one function that allows you to set a transparency level.
If you download the control right from softshape you can use the
Visual Studio tools to view the interfaces their control provides.
There is an app called BoxCard @ http://softini.cjb.net
that uses this feature and will let you see it in action
I've tried several things briefly to try and implement some transluceny. It
is pretty easy to make a translucent menu or
dialog as long as it is WITHIN a frame window or something. You can
just make owner draw controls that get the parentdc and alphablend the
control DC with the parents. This works really well if you have a
stable bitmap background. However, this become very hard to do when you
have other windows moving around behind a translucent control or
you try to do this on the windows desktop.
Win2K provides a LayeredWindow to help with this. Does anyone have access to
a W2K dev kit that contains this implementation? I check my VC 6 for this
but it does not seem to be included. I'd like to see how they did this.
I also considered it might be possible to control how windows draws the
window, after all - doing this can't befar off from what programs like eFX
and WindowBlinds have been doing to change the frame bars on existing
windows already.

Any suggestions? I plan on putting all this info together with some other
controls I've made and putting it up on the web with source. MFc is nice,
but its really easy to think of semi-simple things that are very diffculut
to do - like change an image on a static control (w/o hiding an existing one
and displaying a new control) Anyways, I'm getting off on a tangent. Please
let me know you thoughts or tips.

You can retrieve the Windows 200 SDK from Microsoft's website.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/isapi/msdnlib.idc?theURL=/library/psdk/sdkintro/mainport.htm
Here you can find examples and information on them. You can also download the PlatformSDK for January 2000 if you wish too.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sdks/platform/platform.asp
And then Click "Platform SDK Setup" under the Installation Heading.
Hope it helps,
-Erik

Hi all.
Has anyone got an example of using SHGetFileInfo to access the system imagelist. No matter what I use it keeps return an imagelist with nothing in it..
Any examples floating aroung on how to do this
The code I'm using is as follows :
SHFILEINFO shFinfo;
HIMAGELIST hImgList = NULL;
hImgList = (HIMAGELIST)SHGetFileInfo( _T("Windows"), 0,
&shFinfo,sizeof( shFinfo )*sizeof(TCHAR),
SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX| SHGFI_SMALLICON );
if ( !hImgList )
{
AfxMessageBox(_T("Cannot retrieve the Handle of System ImageList!"));
return FALSE;
}
m_smallImageList.Attach(hImgList);
All help extremely appreciated..

Anyone written a custom button that looks like the "Open" button in the common file open dialog in Word2000? On the right of the button is an arrow that when pressed brings up a menu, however when any other part of the button is pressed the button asks normally.
Thanks

Hi All,
In my app I need to send e-mail directly.
I use Simle MAPI for that and it works fine.
The problem is that want to send formatted text.
When I tried to set the message text to HTML text some e-mail programs (Like Eudora Pro) rendered it fine.
However other e-mail programs (Outlook and Outlook Express) do not render it and just show the html source.
I know that there is a way to send formatted text since Word does it.
I already called Microsoft Tech Support and they couldn't give me an answer.
Can anyone help?
Thans,
Eli.

Hi Eli,
you cannot send formatted text with Simple MAPI by default (although some mail readers parse it correctly), because you cannot specify the format of the content in Simple MAPI. With Extended MAPI you can specify the encoding of the message body (text/HTML or text/RTF).
For a sample, see Microsoft's MSDN online (search.microsoft.com/us/dev/) and search for article "Q216344".

I have a simple soucecode. I should not be a problem to implement it with MFC once you understand how it works (unfortinally the reverse is not so easy. MFC to simple function)
Why does the program use other y pos than it was assigned?
Sleep can solve bugs that is hard to find.
Remove the comment to se the effect of sleep.

How can I derive (superclass) my own class of windows from standard BUTTON class, for example, and change its look (for example: buttons and other controls in Microsoft Money).
|
|
|
|

Derive your class from CButton. Then you have to guarantee that your button is always created using BS_OWNERDRAW style (if button is created explicitely using Create() function you might override PreCreateWindow() in order to do that, otherwise when button is being subclassed, e.g. in DDX/DDV engine, you have to override PreSubclassWindow() and put there an assert that checks for BS_OWNERDRAW style).
As long as BS_OWNERDRAW style is set Windows will send your button WM_DRAWITEM message in which you have to draw the button. MFC provides virtual DrawItem() function that you need to override in order to handle WM_DRAWITEM message.
From this point you are on your own in terms of providing drawinf implementation and handling the mouse and keyboard input in any specific way (of course, if you need to).
Above mentioned details of implementation are valid only if you use MFC in your development. Using straight SDK you would need to take basically the same steps. But of course you need to handle all corresponding messages (WM_CREATE, WM_DRAWITEM) explicitly in your window procedure.

Does anybody know what to do to use the new Open File Dialog
that is now standard on Windows 2000 ? My app works fin on
W2000 but the Open File Dialog looks exactly the same way as
under Windows 95/98/NT.
Thanks

You probably need to get the latest version of the shell DLL's for each OS. which may or maynot be available in a Service pack.

In any case, it might be safer to use the old dialog box, unless you are planning to make your program only W2000 compatible. The other option is to use an OS check and open a different box for each setting...however, this might complicate things depending on how the API for the new boxes works. It may auto-detect for you, but you never know. Best thing is to get the docs from MS and then implement it.
