Changing text color in static text control

I have a customized Find Dialog (based on CFindReplaceDialog) to which I've added amongst other things a static text box for displaying results of the search in the CListCntl to which the dialog is attached. No problem. Then I thought it would be nice visually to say display "Find failed" in red, success in green. For something that seems like it should be dirt simple, I've plowed through more MSDN doc and CodeProject seemingly related items than I can believe. I must be missing something. Recommendations? Thanks.

One solution is to add a handler for WM_CTLCOLOR. Update color of the static control inside the handler.

Yes. That was one avenue that led to a feeling of stupidity. Put a handler in the Find Dialog and SendMesssage to its window. I have yet to find a description of the proper setup of WM_CTLCOLOR wparam, lparam. Do you know a good source for such info? Thanks.

Look up WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC in the MSDN Library.

Trust in the code Luke. Yea right!

Silly me, searching on just WM_CTLCOLOR. Blush | :O

I see COLORSTATIC is restricted to a thread, but I can work around that.

Many thanks, John. Between you and kuphryn I feel the Force may be with me again.

increasing sequence number on raw socket

Kuniva6-Jun-03 5:16

I have a raw socket and i construct its IP and TCP header myself. The TCP header is like the following:

#pragma pack(1)
struct tcpheader {
	unsigned short int th_sport;
	unsigned short int th_dport;
	unsigned int th_seq;
	unsigned int th_ack;
	unsigned char th_x2:4, th_off:4;
	unsigned char th_flags;
	unsigned short int th_win;
	unsigned short int th_sum;
	unsigned short int th_urp;
}; /* total tcp header length: 20 bytes (=160 bits) */

Now when i want to send a packet i fill in all the values and everything works great. I use a packet capturer to check if the values i filled in were actually the values transmitted. Now the problem is that i send packets in a while loop and everytime i increase the sequence number by one like this:

while (!kbhit())
{
    // Send The Packet
    if (sendto(s, datagram, 40, 0, (SOCKADDR *)&sin, sizeof(sin)) == SOCKET_ERROR)
    {
        printf("sendto() failed: %d\n", WSAGetLastError());
        return -1;
    }
    printf(".");
    Sleep(1000);
    tcph->th_seq++;
}

When i check the packets in my capture program i see that the first packet is in order if i set tcph->th_seq to 0. But if i use another value like 7000000 i see much larger number in my capture program, and also if the code increments from 0, the sequence number doesn't rise by 1 every packet but with A LOT more (the second packets sequence number is 16777216!). Could anyone explain why its not just incrementing by 1 each time, and how can i set the sequence number to the value i want?

Many thanks in advance

Boy are you gonna feel stupid now. ;->

Have you checked what that number is in hex? Does 0x01000000 ring any bells? Network byte order and host byte order is a mismatch on IA32. Now start using htonl and ntohl.

how to use the srand function???

Most random number generators will provide a number between 0 and 1. If you want to produce numbers between 15 and 20, for example, the difference is 5 (20 - 15), and the offset is 15. So, generally, if you take rand()*5 + 15 you'll get numbers between 15 and 20.

rand() * range + offset

better in this case will be

rand()%(range+1) + offset;

use srand to initial your randomgenerator

How can I convert a CString to a char * variable?

CString str;
char *szBuffer;

//code
.

.
szBuffer = (const char *) str; //why does this not work, and what do I have to do?

Use the getBuffer function.

This only works is you do not write into the CString.
If you really need to write into it, you have to use GetBuffer()/ReleaseBuffer().

My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

Yep, I know, but in his initial example he tried to typecaste in a const char *, so ...

~RaGE();

Yeah, but that type of stuff IS really dangerous.
It works once you understood when to use it (at a InsertItem() with a LVITEM / TVITEM.pszText for example).
But IMHO it is nothing to tell beginners. Shhhh! Big Grin | :-D

NO NO NO.

Please don't encourage people to throw casts in without understanding the initial cause of their problem. The GetBuffer() method exists for precisely this case.

How about getting a handle to the desktop window, and enumerating its child windows?
