disable perforce integration

9-Oct-05 20:09

There seems to be some problem in my DLL that the application, when started, seems to call ProcessDetach on the DLL and continue its execution.

If I attach the visual studio debugger to the application and set breakpoints in DLL ProcessAttach, I do not see the app breaking the execution at the breakpoints. I also have a __try/__except around the stuff in ProcessAttach, but no exception seems to happen here.

Any ideas what might be happening?

Also, I dont want the app to run without this DLL, so can i call TerminiteProcess in the ProcessDetach of the DLL. Is it safe or you see anything that can go wrong?

Thanks!

Hi,
For the last couple of days, modifications to files in visual studio is taking hell lot of time. I suspect this is due to perforce coming in the way. Is there a way to disable perforce integration in visual studio 6?

Thanks.

There is a registry setting to disable any source control system integration.

Believe me, I would have told you already if I remembered Smile | :)

Each time I (re)install Windows I forget where this setting is, and then spend time trying to find it out Sniff | :^)

The difference regards the sense of transformation between the device units and the logical units.

1) You use LPtoDP to map the coordinates of each point, or dimension of a size, from the device coordinate system into GDI’s logical coordinate system. This depends on the current mapping mode and on the settings of the origins and extents for the device’s window and viewport.

2) You use DPtoLP to do the mapping from GDI’s logical coordinate system into the device coordinate system.

Can I call GetClientRect() to retrieve the size of the list window ( a child control to the dialog) in the constructor of the dialog box.
Example:
CMyDialog::CMyDialog()
{
CRect rect;
m_List.GetClientRect(&rect);

}

Normally, the function is invoked in the InitDialog() function?. I am bit confused about this.

thanks for help in advance

No,You can call the function only after your control is created.

Probably you are interested in doing something like this in the constructor:

CListCtrl *pW = (CListCtrl *)GetDlgItem(IDC_LIST1);
CRect rc;
if ( pW )
{
    pW->GetClientRect(&rc);
    int z = 1; // Debug point
}

When executing the first line, you come to the following assertion: ASSERT(::IsWindow(m_hWnd)) which actually tells you that the child window is not a window yet.
That is why you have to place the code in OnInitDialog()
