No surprise there. Where do you call DoModal()? Why are you calling AddString() on a control that does not exist?

Goto your resource tab, open "Accelerator" resource, delete the line ID_FILE_SAVE Ctrl + S VirtKey, and recompile.

I already told you it can be done by using FindFirstFile API. If the file does not exists INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE is the return value else you get a handle to the file.
Why a new thread is needed to post a query? Confused | :confused:

The previous thread was not too long [That of - Only copying done not replacing in SHFileOperation !!!]

The "classic" Win32 way (without MFC):

1. use GetFileAttributes()
2. check the return value
3. if it is 0xFFFFFFFF then check what
4. GetLastError() returned (if the file does not exist, it would be ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)

One of the options would be to take the input from the UI entered by the user and put it into the database. The database would contain tables to store the information for a contact.
You can also use a file to store the information or XML.
There are many a ways you can do this. you need to figure out what fits your problem description, complexity and what would be the size of the address book

Hi all,

I have a list control. Now i want that my list control should show two properties simultaneously :-

i) alternate row colour
ii) when i run my thread it should display green or red colour

i have code for exibiting both propertirs but they are not working simultaneously......

code for displaying alternate ro colour is as follows:

*void CColoredListCtrl::OnCustomDraw(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
	*pResult = 0;

	
  LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW  lplvcd = (LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW)pNMHDR;
  int iRow = lplvcd->nmcd.dwItemSpec;

  switch(lplvcd->nmcd.dwDrawStage)
  {
    case CDDS_PREPAINT :
    {
      *pResult = CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
      return;
    }

    // Modify item text and or background
    case CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT:
    {
      lplvcd->clrText = RGB(0,0,0);
      // If you want the sub items the same as the item,
      // set *pResult to CDRF_NEWFONT
      *pResult = CDRF_NOTIFYSUBITEMDRAW;
      return;
    }

    // Modify sub item text and/or background
    case CDDS_SUBITEM | CDDS_PREPAINT | CDDS_ITEM:
    {
		
        if(iRow %2){
         lplvcd->clrTextBk = m_colRow2;
        }
        else{
          lplvcd->clrTextBk = m_colRow1;
        }
		

        *pResult = CDRF_DODEFAULT;
        return;
    }
  }
}

and for displaying color at runtime is as follows

void CColoredListCtrl::OnCustomDraw ( NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult )
{

	NMLVCUSTOMDRAW* pLVCD = reinterpret_cast<NMLVCUSTOMDRAW*>( pNMHDR );

	*pResult = CDRF_DODEFAULT;

	if ( CDDS_PREPAINT == pLVCD->nmcd.dwDrawStage )
	{
		*pResult = CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
	}
	else if ( CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT == pLVCD->nmcd.dwDrawStage )
	{
		// This is the notification message for an item.  We'll request
		// notifications before each subitem's prepaint stage.
			
		*pResult = CDRF_NOTIFYSUBITEMDRAW;
	}
	else if ( (CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT | CDDS_SUBITEM) == pLVCD->nmcd.dwDrawStage )
	{
			
		COLORREF clrNewTextColor, clrNewBkColor;
        
		int    nItem = static_cast<int>( pLVCD->nmcd.dwItemSpec );

		CString strTemp;

		if(http_list == 1)
			strTemp = Obj_Http->m_Main_List.GetItemText(nItem,pLVCD->iSubItem);
		else if(smtp_list == 1)
			strTemp = obj_SmtpNew->m_SmtpList.GetItemText(nItem,pLVCD->iSubItem);
		else
			strTemp = Obj_SP->m_SP_List.GetItemText(nItem,pLVCD->iSubItem);
				
				

		if(strTemp == "OFFLINE")
		{
			clrNewTextColor = RGB(0,0,0);		//Set the text to red
			clrNewBkColor = RGB(255,0,0);		//Set the bkgrnd color to blue
		}  
		else if(strTemp == "ONLINE")
		{
			clrNewTextColor = RGB(0,0,0);		//Leave the text black
			clrNewBkColor = RGB(0,255,0);	//leave the bkgrnd color white
		}
		else 
		{
				
			clrNewTextColor = RGB(0,0,0);		//Leave the text black
			clrNewBkColor = RGB(255,255,255);	//leave the bkgrnd color white
		}

		pLVCD->clrText = clrNewTextColor;
		pLVCD->clrTextBk = clrNewBkColor;
			
        
		// Tell Windows to paint the control itself.
		*pResult = CDRF_DODEFAULT;
             
	}
}

i want to merge these two piece of code but not getting the way...

How can i do this....

I'm not sure I'm seeing your problem.

One section of code is using switch (lplvcd->nmcd.dwDrawStage) { case XXXX:, and the other is using if (lplvcd->nmcd.dwDrawStage == XXXX) else if... but that should hardly be a challenge.

So your last case statement gets bigger?

Another thought you could have...

Why not keep your code? If each works in clearly separated circumstances, try:

void CColoredListCtrl::OnCustomDraw ( NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult )
{
    if (Am_I_in_a_thread ())
        OnCustomDrawThreaded (pNMHDR, pResult)
    else
        OnCustomDrawNotThreaded (pNMHDR, pResult)
}

and just rename your two functions!

Hi all,

I m taking help of this article for Coying file of Fileoperation.

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/shell/cshellfileop.aspx?msg=2655963#xx2655963xx[^]

But there is only one problem when i copy one file from one location to another if it is already exist than it not replace it,and create another copy.

How can i stop making no. of copies when file already exist.

I want the file is exist than it gives message for replacing and than replace the file.

Thanks in advance.

Use FindFirstFile to check if the file is already existing at the desired location. If it exists display a message box with Yes/No buttons. If the user clicks yes, delete the file and then use CopyFile/SHFileOperation

Are you using the FOF_RENAMEONCOLLISION flag?

Assuming you are just going to respond in the affirmative to that message, have you tried the FOF_NOCONFIRMATION flag?

dll error

I'm starting a service that is dependent on a dll.
On doing so I get the below error

The procedure entry point XXXX could not be located in the dynamic link library LLLL.dll

The service and other related binaries are the release binaries while the dll that is copied is a debug one. I have also copied all the debug dependent dlls in the folder without avail.
Should the dll be also release to solve this problem.

the only way a release build will fix it is if the release build exports different functions than the debug build does. that would be unusual, though not impossible.

but, i'd look at the DLL and see if it's actually exporting the missing function or not, first.

Visual C 6 comes with a handy program called depends.exe. Use it and look at your executable, and it will look at dlls it depends on, and give you nice red exclamation makrs if there are problems.

I'd be shocked if later versions didn't come with an equivalent tool. I'd be surprised if they didn't come with the *same* tool. It works rather well.

Through 2005 it does. Although there is no Start menu entry for it and it's buried in folder structure under Program Files so using a Search is about the only way to find it. Big Grin | :-D
