This is my favourite part:

Anyone has any idea on how to do this?

Design the necessary classes and member functions to achieve the above tasks.

OnPaint is transitory.

Hello, I need some help and I'm a MFC newbie, please be patient with me.

I simply tried to draw text in the client area, at first I thought OnPaint message was not caught, but when I was trying to resize the Window multiple times, the text appears. It appears for only only a very brief time, not even long enough for the eyes to see. Is there something I forgot to do?

The text should not disappear even if the OnPaint returns right?

CPaintDC dc (this);
CString str = _T("String");

CRect rect;
GetClientRect(&rect);
dc.DrawText(str,-1,&rect, DT_VCENTER | DT_CENTER | DT_SINGLELINE);

Only thing I can think of, is that if you handle WM_PAINT, you're expected to return a non-zero value, otherwise windows will also handle the message

Thanks for the help, that is a good point I'll look into it.
Thats what I also know for WIN32 API... but does MFC classes does that implicitly or explicitly?

Closer examination seems to indicate that it's handled implicitly. I guess painting in the non-client area would have a similar effect to the one you describe, unless onNcPaint was being used..

No, it should be like that.

What you write in the OnPaint should stay in the dialog until a update window, update region, update dialog, erase background, resize the window/dialog, change between apps... any message that implies a refresh of the screen.

So if your text is not showing I guess you are calling unvoluntarly one of that messages just after your OnPaint, or not calling the OnPaint fter on of those messages.

Use the Step by Step in debugging and take a look on your code executing.

Right!

I found out what was wrong, the generated code by the VS2005 for painting the toolbar and status bar(OnCreate) kept repainting the client area, thats why it wasn't visible... I think this may not be the fix, but at least I got the string to show... Thanks for your efforts guys.

P.S. I still don't think this is the fix since it is a generated code, it is suppose to work properly... Post please if you have any idea. Smile | :)

I have a MDI project, now I want to print the interface. So I saw this article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q186736/

Then I try to apply to my project, just create a menu item or button, do like this:

// message map
ON_COMMAND(ID_PRINT_PRINTALL, &CMyDlg::PrintGUI)

// declare function
afx_msg void PrintGUI();


// implement function
void CMyDlg::PrintGUI(){
	// get the Main window
	CWnd* a = AfxGetMainWnd();
	
        // print it, this function is implemented follow the above article
	PrintWindowToDC(*a);
}

But when I run, nothing happen.
Have anyone ever tried the similar thing? Please helpppppppp !!!!!!!!!!

here in the CP there are articles to print a screen capture, to print from a dialog, to print using or not using MFC... I strongly recommend you to have a look into that section.

IMHO the best articles are from Roger Allen, Chris Maunder, Joseph M Newc...

regular expression - removing last character from result

I am trying to convert the c file for some other compiler to MS VC++ .Net compiler.

In the c file, there are some value specified like 031bH which means 0x031b.

I want change all of them using Regular Expression,
Using the R.E. "[0-9]^3[a-fA-F0-9][H]" in "Find what" and "0x\0" in "Replace with" the value is coming like 0x031bH.

How can I remove the H in a single step while prefixing with "0x"?

Try this (it works in VI for me, but your mileage may vary depending on which RE tool you are using - regardless, it should be enough to get you running in your environment):

Search string: "\([0-9a-fA-F]\{1,4\}\)H"

Replace string: "0x\1"

Note that the above will only parse hex constants in the form you mentioned with 1-4 hex digits preceding the 'H' suffix.

Sorry, Getting Older, I forgot.

There is a way of registering a File Extension with an App at Startup. Forgot how to do that.

Hi,
Well, the question 3 lines below covered the same topic, but did not cover what I was after. I was looking for the Name of: CWinApp::RegisterShellFileTypes(); (I could at the time not think of the Name, and was not sure of the class it belonged to). The business part of this resides in CDocManager. I am now doctorring that code to register critical extensions in my setup program.

Thanks anyways for the Interest you showed in my question.

Regards, Smile | :)
