For a hook to be globel, u must write the hook procedure in a dll. Paste the code here so that we can check whats wrong with it..

Thanks for your quick response
I have not done much but still you can check the code

This is the code from the dll Just have 3 function now
Install Uninstall and the global Keyboar procedure.

<br />
LRESULT CKeyHook::InstallKeyHook()<br />
{ <br />
	g_hHook = ::SetWindowsHookEx(WH_KEYBOARD, KeyboardProc, AfxGetInstanceHandle(), 0);<br />
	return( KH_OK );<br />
}<br />
<br />
LRESULT CKeyHook::UninstallKeyHook()<br />
{<br />
	::UnhookWindowsHookEx(g_hHook);<br />
	return( KH_OK );<br />
}<br />
<br />
LRESULT CALLBACK KeyboardProc(INT nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)<br />
{	<br />
        switch (nCode)<br />
	{<br />
	case HC_ACTION:<br />
		{<br />
			// Disable All<br />
			return 1;<br />
		}<br />
	}<br />
	return ::CallNextHookEx(g_hHook, nCode, wParam, lParam);	<br />
}<br />

The test application just call InstallKeyHookin InitDialog
and UnInstallKeyHook in OnClose.

i think the problem is with the AfxGetInstanceHandle() used here. What i suggest is create a globel variable of HINSTANCE and set this parameter with the HINSTACE coming in the dll main. If ur using an MFC dll, set this variable as follows

BOOL CDllApp::InitInstance()
{
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
hins=AfxGetInstanceHandle();
return CWinApp::InitInstance();
}

now pass this variable in the SetWindowsHookEx function

edit control how to get deleted text

sorry it wasn't the problem of taking the hinstance value in InitInstance. It was the problem of not calling AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());

i tried calling AfxGetInstanceHandle() from a dll as follow.

HINSTANCE h2 = AfxGetInstanceHandle();// Returns the instance of the exe
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
HINSTANCE h = AfxGetInstanceHandle();// Returns the instance of the dll

now i think u understood the problem.

hi,

in an edit control if multiple characters are selected and user presses delete button how we can deleted text that is "selected text" in WM_KEYDOWN or
OnKeyDown handler??

same thing with OnChar also for backspace!!

Thanks and regards

Call the CWnd::OnkeyDown() in the overrided Onkeydown()

hi rinu,
thanks for replying.
but what i want to do is something different

suppose "abcd" is the selected text and the caret is
positioned before 'a' and if someone presses delete
whole text will delete so i want to retrieve that text before it gets deleted.
means i want abcd to be stored in some buffer or CString variable

thank's
Harshal

You may check whether the DEL key is pressed in the OnKeydown() If it is pressed then store the edit box content in a string variable. After that call the CWnd::OnKeydown()

How to display CStatic

gomez_a19-Sep-06 22:33

19-Sep-06 22:33

I have an MFC application (VS 2003 Std). There is a dialog window with CStaticText. For example:
CStatic lblRecno;

I want to change the colour of the CStaticText.
I am using the OnCtlColor function:

HBRUSH DlgBackup::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hbr = NULL;
/*
if(pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_STATIC_LP)
or
*/
if( nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_STATIC )
{
pDC->SetTextColor(clBlack);
pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
hbr = (HBRUSH) GetStockObject( NULL_BRUSH );
}
else
{
hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
}

return hbr;
}
To this place is OK.

Now I am changeing the lblRecno value in the while loop:
int lp = 0;
CString newTxt = "";
while(...)
{
++lp;
bewTxt.Format("%d", lp);
lblRecno.SetWindowText(newTxt);
}
But the new value lblRecno is displaying in the place of the previous value, an so on.
I think I should to use the WM_ERASEBKGND, but I don't know how to do it.

Can you help me.

What you want actually to show the static text one after another.
If you just place a while loop you can see that last value only.
Try with a timer updating the window text in regular intervals say 1 sec

No it doesn't work. Please try it.

I don't create CStatic it my sorce code, it is on the dialog window.
I am setting the new Value by lblRecno.SetWindowText(...)
I am setting the CStatic colour by OnCtlColor(...)
and the TIMER

void CDemoDlg::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)
{
lblLP.Invalidate();
CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}

Regards

inside the timer do

void CDemoDlg::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)
{
static int lp = 0;
CString newTxt = "";
++lp;
newTxt.Format("%d", lp);
lblRecno.SetWindowText(newTxt);
}

then Start the timer in the initdialog

I think there is steel something wrong.

Please look at my source code. My dialog window is MOkno.h

public:
CStatic lblRecno; // for displaying recno
CButton btnStart; // button Start
int iLicznik; // increment variable
CString newTxt; // new value of the text = iLicznik as a Text

MOkno.cpp:

BOOL MOkno::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();
// TODO:
SetTimer(ID_TIMER1, 1000, NULL); // my Timer is running every 1 s
return TRUE;
}

HBRUSH MOkno::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hbr;
if(nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_STATIC )
{
pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
pDC->SetTextColor(clBlue);

hbr = (HBRUSH) GetStockObject( NULL_BRUSH );
}
else
{
hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
}

return hbr;
}

void MOkno::OnClose()
{
KillTimer(ID_TIMER1);
CDialog::OnClose();
}

On the dialog window tehre is a Start button. When user click on the button:
void MOkno::OnBnClickedButtonStart()
{
iLicznik = 0;
newTxt = "";
// suppose: It is a database, and I am reading records
// and display the current recno number
for(iLicznik = 1; iLicznik <= 1000; iLicznik++)
{
newTxt.Format("%d", iLicznik);
}
}

void MOkno::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)
{
CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
lblRecno.SetWindowText(newTxt);
}

There are some problems in your code

You may modify code like this

void MOkno::OnBnClickedButtonStart()
{
SetTimer( ...) // Set the timer here not in the oninitdialog
}

void MOkno::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)
{
static int i =0;
newTxt.Format( "%d", ++i );
lblRecno.SetWindowText(csTex);
CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}
