how do you get a handle to a window from main frame to any view including splitters?

All CWnd objects will have an m_hWnd which is the underlying window HANDLE.
But to be safe call IsWindow on this handle before trying to do stuff with it, unless you are sure it is a handle to a valid window

Thanks.

You wrote "call IsWindow() on this handle." How do you go about calling IsWindow on a handle? IsWindow() take not parameters and returns a BOOL.

IsWindow

The IsWindow function determines whether the specified window handle identifies an existing window.

BOOL IsWindow(
  HWND> hWnd   // handle to window
);

Ahh. Thanks.

In other words, IsWindow() *internally* check m_hWnd to see if it matches that of the current view/window.

Actually what it does is to verify that the window handle we have points to a valid window. There might be a situation that a window has closed but we still have a handle to it. In such situations, we must use this function.

You have to do the following steps:

1) CreateFile() with FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED
2) Create 2 Events by using CreateEvent()
3) Create 2 OVERLAPPED STRUCT and put events (2) in here
4) now use WaitCommEvent(), ReadFile(), WriteFile() with STRUCTS (3) as calling-parameters

That`s it ...

So far ... RockNix///

I am not sure if many people uses this call. But I am having trouble with it. From MSDN it should work. But it doesn't for me.

I call this in my Pretranslate fucntion. I get the foregroundwindow for another window program. Now when I click on the other program, it should Get the GUIThreadInfo. I want to get at this message to get the actual CONTROL that has the focus in the active window.

But it is always failing. I can't figure out why. What I want to do is once I get the Control with the focus then I want to use AttachThreadInput and be able process messages in that program's message queue.

Any Ideas? Thanks.

sending mouse messages

hi,
my application captures the mouse events of an application ,I want to send these events to another window,How do I send mouse events.
Jeremy suggested me Sendmessage,but it did not respond.

SendMessage (handle1,WM_MENUSELECT,MF_MOUSESELECT,0);

where handle1 is handle of the destination window
WM_MENUSELECT is wParam (mouse event)

Thankyou for spending time

Is the other window part of the same application, or is it part of another process. Because if it is part of another process, then it is running in different address space and you cannot send or post a message.

I have two notepad windows,I want to replicate the behaviour of one window to another.Using hooks i trap the keyboard events of first notepad window and send these keystrokes to second window with keybd_event function,it is working fine.
Similarly I have trapped mouse events ,Probably you cannot use sendMessage or post but since hooks code is wriiten in Dll i can force second window to map the dll into its address space and then send messages.Please comment..

Second solution could probably be, as suggested by "argus" to use mouse_event and sendinput,I am working on it ,but currently unable to locate parameter for destination handle.

Thankyou for your concern

Linux question about serial ports

I am opening a serial com port and writing huge packets. How do I know how many bytes can I write into the port when the other computer reading it?

is something like open()
write()
select()?

Anybody has a sample?

Thanks
Al

Do the select() before you write(). Something like

fdSerial = open(...);
fd_set wfds;
struct timeval tv;
memset(&tv, 0, sizeof(struct timeval));
FD_ZERO(&wfds);
FD_SET(fdSerial, &wfds);
int retval = select(1, NULL, &wfds, NULL, &tv); // Check if writable
if (retval) {
  // write is possible
  write(...);
}

Niklas,

Thanks, is any way to know how many characters can I write into the serial port without overwriting bytes?

Thanks again

Okay. I just put together a small program. The cursor did vanish Smile | :)

char abc[128];

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	HANDLE h;
	h= CreateConsoleScreenBuffer(GENERIC_WRITE|GENERIC_READ,
		FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
		NULL,CONSOLE_TEXTMODE_BUFFER,NULL);
	SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer(h);
	CONSOLE_CURSOR_INFO cci;
	cci.dwSize = 90; //don't make this 0. it won't vanish then. - nish
	cci.bVisible=false;
	SetConsoleCursorInfo(h,&cci);
	cin >> abc; //no cursor at this point. cool eh?
	return 0;
}

Hope this helps you,
Nish

hmm thats what im goin for but how can i get it to work in this sort of program:
i'm making sort of a space invaders style game, i have a loop that outputs a ship made from text <-0-> in an array, when i put that code u gave me in it doesn't show the ship, is there any way to get the ship to show and still have no cursor?

Is there maybe a way to just make the cursors color be black?

thx agian

I really don't think that hiding the cursor will rsult in the hiding of the ship too. I think the problem must be elsewhere.

Ryan2845 wrote:

The cursor is usually the same color as the forground text. I am not sure whether it's color can be changed.
