What "opening MFC Dialog" are you referring to?

hi,
If u are doing this using Visual C++/MFC ,It is very easy to set Multiple selection to the ListBox.
Go the properties of the added List Box change the selection to 'Multiple'.
That's all.

Like this:

m_listbox.AddString("Item 2");
...
m_listbox.AddString("Item N");

How many times are you calling this function?

That doesn't make sense...

Give an example of what you want. Do you want a random alphanumeric character? Or does this have to do with Keyboard Input?

Re: Algorithm for generating Alphanumeric characters

Something like:

char RandomNumber( void )
{
    return (rand() % 10) + 48;
}
 
char RandomUpper( void )
{
    return (rand() % 26) + 65;
}
 
char RandomLower( void )
{
    return (rand() % 26) + 97;
}

That would cost you about $200. I don't think the DDK itself is downloadable without a MSDN subscription. The DDK reference however is available for everyone, like the content of the MSDN CDs.

I was also looking for the DDK to make a device driver for a virtual webcam, but I don't have any tools either to make device drivers.

for example if i have A on my button when ever user clicks that button keyboards keyevent should generate and that should be passed and displayed on editview area
i have a the function
void MyDialog::OnButton49()
{
/* unsigned char arr[256];
int i= GetKeyboardType(1);
GetKeyboardState(arr);
GetKeyNameText(49,"a",1);
//GetKeyboardLayoutList(
GetLastError();*/
// this->GetParent()->SendMessage(WM_PAINT,nRepCnt,nFlags);
//SetKeyboardState(;
//Get
// int i=GetKeyState(49);
// if(i==1)
GetParent()->SendMessage(WM_CAPTURECHANGED,49,1);

//n_butFlag=49;
}
like this for displaying 'a' on in my dialog class

Request to all to continue this

Take a look at MSDN - Keyboard Input[^]. There you can find messages you can pass to the window
that must think that someone pressed that specific key on the keyboard. You can send WM_KEYDOWN or WM_SYSKEYDOWN when the button is pressed, and WM_KEYUP or WM_SYSKEYUP when the button is released.

For instance, you could do

void MyDialog::OnButton49() 
{
GetParent()->SendMessage(WM_CAPTURECHANGED,49,1);
GetParent()->SendMessage(WM_KEYDOWN, VK_A, NULL);
GetParent()->SendMessage(WM_KEYUP, VK_A, NULL);
}

I'm not sure about those VK_A (I'm at school now and I don't know the Virtual Key list by heart). You can also replace those NULLs by control codes that indicate if CTRL or AltGrp is pressed in addition.

By the way, don't include too much commented lines. It looks nasty and it makes it unreadable. There is also a way to use one single function for all buttons (with a custom WindowProc), so that you don't have to make a function for each button on your virtual keyboard.

Handling Files in Visual C++

I have a file in which data is entered in the below format

[KEYS/90]
CAPKLEN = 512;
CAPKEXP = 03 ;
CAPKMOD = C26B3CB3833E42D8270DC10C8999B2DA18106838650DA0DBF154EFD51100AD144741B2A87D6881F8630E3348DEA3F78038E9B21A697EB2A6716D32CBF26086F1 ;
SHA = B3AE2BC3CAFC05EEEFAA46A2A47ED51DE679F823

I need to create an application in VC++ so that the user who is unaware of this format will be able to enter data in to the file.

The Application requirement is that the user should be able to select one of the keys using a selection box.once the the key section is selected the corresponding fields will be dispalyed along with the original data and also the user will get an option for entering the new data.for eg:

the user selects section key/90 then the screen should display
CAPKLEN
CAPKEXP
CAPKMOD
then the user selects CAPKLEN and it's original value will be displayed along with an option for new value.

I hope the requirement is clear for you.if you have any doubts you can ask me.My PL needs this work to be finished very soon and i don't have much exposure in VC++.so i request you to please help me in this regard or please let me know where i can get some info on this.

Hi
From what I understand I feel its very easy task.
All you need to know is how to read and write from a file and display those values, right ?
For this what I suggest is some thing like this.
The file should be as [length in byte][data].

Hope this would help..

You might want to look at WritePrivateProfileString and GetPrivateProfileString. Tbey will handle this format very easily.

Good luck.

As has already been mentioned, this is the format of a standard .INI file. Several functions exist for processing files of this type.

This is where GetPrivateProfilexxx() comes in.

You'll need to hide the file, or change its permissions at the OS level. Whatever you do, however, will not keep the most determined person from altering the file.

shanil80 wrote:

TCHAR szBuffer[1024];
GetPrivateProfileString(NULL, NULL, "", szBuffer, sizeof(szBuffer), ...);

Now make multiple calls to CComboBox::AddString().

hi,
Replace:

with
file="C:\\Documents and Settings\\mount top.bmp";

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
