I've accomplished this in the past by creating a CStringArray variable in the page2, and filling that array while still on page1.

Maybe kinda bloated, but it worked. Smile | :)

Good Luck,
Frank

Your right, the data held in the dialogs that make up the wizard are no longer accessible. You should have a class that represents the wizard itself. This is the object whose DoModal method is executed. It is still accessible:

Here is a sample from a project I worked on last year. The first listing is the Wizard class itself. It is derived from CPropertySheet. The dialogs it presents are CPropertyPage derived objects. These are stored as member variables in the CWizard object.

Each of the property pages can access the CWizard class (as a parent window). While this one has no actual data stored in it, it could have. In this project, I have the individual property pages store data in project wide globals, so I didn't need to retrieve data from the Wizard itself.

Good idea!! I havent tried that yet, and it looks like it should work.

Thanks!

All of my wizard pages are derived from the CNewWizPage class so if I try to add a member variable ( Public: CItemDlg m_dItemDlg) inside of my CNewWizPage or CNewWizDialog class it errors... Maybe I should scrap the custom class and derive my own class from CPropertySheet instead.. This is the class I'm using "http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/wizard2000.asp" I dont know if you have tried it..

Just incase im doing something dumb here is what I did.. maybe I'm over looking something..

I've not used this class (or 2wK wizards). so, I don't have any specific information for you. Just these general questions. Blush | :O

Where is IDD_ITEM defined? is it the resource id for your dialog? Make sure its defined in the context of ItemDlg.h.

It's the resource ID of my 1st page dialog of the wizard.. and its only defined in resource.h.. I just defined it in my ItemDlg.h and it seems to compile fine now.. Blush | :O

Thanks for all your help man!!

RAS events

Hi
is there any RAS event that is fired when a user just connected to or disconnected from the internet using the dial-up network?

thanks

Hello, the codegurus around the world.;)

Check the RAS notification message called WM_RASDIALEVENT,
and check WPARAM wParam to figure out which RAS event occures.

Good luck! Cool | :cool:

Have a nice day!

Owner drawn button with drop-down menu

Derek Lakin15-Nov-01 3:35

As some of you may be aware I have an owner drawn button class (CButtonSSL), which is capable of displaying a drop-down arrow and a menu.

I have recently discovered that if the parent window of the button loses focus then when focus is regained the check state of the menu items is lost, i.e. none of the menu items are checked any more Frown | :(

For those of you without the source code the class stores a CMenu member variable, m_menu. In the call to SetSSLButtonMenu the menu is initialised with a call to m_menu.LoadMenu passing in the resource ID of the menu. The menu item check states are altered in the call to CheckSSLMenuItem which calls m_menu.CheckMenuItem () passing in the menu ID and the check state.

In the OnLButtonDown event handler the popup menu is shown as follows:

CMenu* pMenu = m_menu.GetSubMenu (0);
pMenu->TrackPopupMenu (TPM_RIGHTALIGN | TPM_LEFTBUTTON, x, y, GetParent ());

I have scoured the MSDN and other such resources and get work out why the menu would be losing it's check states. Any suggestions?

When to delete, and when to NULL?

Chambers15-Nov-01 3:33

Chambers

Hi all, I have got a little lost with regards to pointers. I think its quite simple (if you know the answer), basically I have some code like :

void NewPointer()
{
  if (m_pPointer == NULL)
  {
    m_pPointer = new(MyCPointClass)
    if (m_pPointer->NewPoint)
      return;
    else
      delete(m_pPointer);
  }
}

However, the pointer is deleted in this function, and then its deleted elsewhere in my program through a destructor (which is called when i exit the app). If the BOOL function NewPoint returns TRUE every time then everything is OK (my app doesn`t try to delete the same pointer twice). HOWEVER, it does if it returns FALSE. Basically I need to know if a memory leak would occur if I inserted :

m_pPointer = NULL;

instead of actually deleting it in the function? What actually happens to the memory allocated by new in this case? The reason I ask is because, although my program WOULD expel any memory leaks upon exiting the program, I don`t want them building up whilst I am running the damn thing, because in the end I could run out of memory. So, basically, what I need to know is, if I make the m_pPointer = NULL, will a memory leak occur, and why/why not? Thanks again guys for your intuition,

Cheers,
Alan. Smile | :)
