Well, there's plenty of info on the site - why not try working through some of it and post questions when you get stuck ? Have you had experience in C++ ? If not, you should get some before trying any Windows specific stuff.

I am a beginner programmer and I don't know much about debugging but I get KERNAL32 errors when I hit the close button now and have no idea what to do. When I hit close I get this error box:

%Name% has caused an error in
KERNAL32.DLL
%Name% will now close

When I hit debug I get another one that says:

Unhandled exception in %Name%.exe (KERNAL32.DLL): 0xC0000005: Access Violation.

Then a yellow arrow is pointing at the following code:

BFF64346	xadd	dword ptr [ecx],eax

Where should I be looking and what should I look for? I tried commenting out all functions etc except:

CDialog::OnOK();

Please help

How do I use the lparam of TV_INSERTSTRUCT

Hi,

I'm trying to set the lparam of a TV_INSERTSTRUCT to an integer value and everytime I call GetTreeCtrl()->GetItemData(hItem) I always get back 0. Following is my code:

TV_INSERTSTRUCT tvInsert;
tvInsert.hInsertAfter = TVI_LAST;
tvInsert.item.mask = TVIF_TEXT | TVIF_IMAGE | TVIF_SELECTEDIMAGE;
tvInsert.item.hItem = NULL;
tvInsert.item.stateMask = 0;
tvInsert.item.state = 0;
tvInsert.item.iImage = 4;
tvInsert.item.iSelectedImage = 0;

int inputId = 17;
tvInsert.item.lParam = (LPARAM)inputId;

CString szName("Hello World");
tvInsert.item.pszText = (LPTSTR) (LPCTSTR) szName;
				
HTREEITEM hParent = GetTreeCtrl().InsertItem(&tvInsert);

//This works fine
CString szText(GetTreeCtrl().GetItemText(hParent));
//This doesn't work at all - iId is always 0
int iId = GetTreeCtrl().GetItemData(hParent);

Does anyone know why I always get back a 0 in iId? This is very frustrating.

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Craig

tvInsert.item.mask = TVIF_TEXT | TVIF_IMAGE | TVIF_SELECTEDIMAGE;

Add TVIF_PARAM to that.

Focus Rect on a CButton

Hi,
I've create a very little bitmap button (that class is derived from CButton) and I don't want it draw a focus rect. In fact the focus Rect is draw over the bitmap and my button is so small that we are unable to understand it

so if you find a way to remove it, tell me please

thanks

You need to override the DrawItem function to handle your own drawing.

There are many owner-drawn buttons that have bitmap support here already, e.g. CButtonSSL, which I wrote Wink | ;)

It would only take a few small changes to prevent the focus rectangle being drawn (just comment out the call to DrawFocusRect).

Hi thanks for the tips but it's a big implementation for something so simple. I did'nt find what I'm searching for but I will. This is for a commercial application, in fact a application that we sold whit hardware, but this application will need modification/update very often, the reason why I'm doing it now (and i'm not using the old one) it's because modification/update are too hard. So I want to minimize the code. I'm doing a scroll bar derived from CWnd to get strange functionality, and I'm doing the little arrow at each end of my scroll bar. For these button, I don't want any Focus rect, everything else work already very well whitout so much code.

So I don't want add a big button class when CButton do already the job very well, except for that f*** focus rect.

Appending integer values to a string? (for Tree labels)

12-Sep-01 9:12

I want to add items to a tree which have incremental numerical labels, how can I do this?

I want my items to consist of the CString "Section" + the short value generated by a FOR loop.
i.e. "Section 0"
"Section 1"
......
"Section 120"

Please help!

Please help with memory leak

Craig Miller12-Sep-01 8:53

Hi,

I'm currently using some code that I found in the forum to write a file to a database and it almost works. It appears that I have some memory leaks that I can't seem to find. Following is the code I'm using which is in a loop. I loop through a directory of images so I can load them into a database.

CFile tmpFile(fileName, CFile::modeRead);
				
//Read from bitmap file into buffer.
LONG nTotalBytes = tmpFile.GetLength();
				
//Allocate a buffer for the input and read from file.
BYTE * inputBuf = new BYTE[nTotalBytes];
UINT nBytesRead = tmpFile.Read(inputBuf, nTotalBytes);
				
CLongBinary cx_LongBinaryImage; 
cx_LongBinaryImage.m_dwDataLength = nTotalBytes; //set the cx_LongBinaryImage.m_hData = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE,                   nTotalBytes); //allocates a HGLOBAL handle for the CLongBinary object.
				
BYTE* pITemp = (BYTE*) GlobalLock(cx_LongBinaryImage.m_hData); //pITemp is pointing at the address of the HGLOBAL handle
memcpy(pITemp, inputBuf, nTotalBytes); //copy the BYTE array containing the image to the HGLOBAL address
GlobalUnlock(cx_LongBinaryImage.m_hData); //unlock the memory
				
CImageRs* cxTableImage = new CImageRs(); //CRecordset object
if (cxTableImage->Open(NULL)) //opening the database
{
	cxTableImage->AddNew(); //create new record
	cxTableImage->m_MAKE = "Yamaha";
	cxTableImage->m_MODEL = "YZF600RK/RKC";
	cxTableImage->m_YEAR = 1998;
	cxTableImage->m_NAME = FindFileData.cFileName;
	cxTableImage->m_IMAGE.m_dwDataLength = cx_LongBinaryImage.m_dwDataLength;
	cxTableImage->m_IMAGE.m_hData = cx_LongBinaryImage.m_hData;
	cxTableImage->SetFieldNull(&cxTableImage->m_IMAGE, FALSE);
	cxTableImage->SetFieldDirty(&cxTableImage->m_IMAGE, TRUE);
	if(!cxTableImage->Update())
	{
		AfxMessageBox( "Record not added; no field values were set." );
	}
					
	cxTableImage->Close();
}

delete[] inputBuf;

If I call GlobalFree on cx_LongBinaryImage.m_hData I get an error because the CLongBinary calls GlobalFree in it's destructor. Also, when I run this code in the loop I get an error, "Could not update; currently locked by user 'admin' on machine 'MYMACHINE'." This happens when the loop is halfway through the directory, I'm not sure why this is happening. I'm currently developing on Win2000 with VC++ 6.0.

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Craig

I want to retrieve icon like "my documents" in explorer but ...

My init function:

CShellUtil::CShellUtil()
{
SHFILEINFO shFinfo;
HIMAGELIST hImgList = NULL;
LPITEMIDLIST itemlist = 0;

bError=FALSE;
if (SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(0,
SIDL_DESKTOP , &itemlist) == NOERROR)
{
hImgList = (HIMAGELIST)SHGetFileInfo((LPCTSTR)
itemlist, 0, &shFinfo,
sizeof(shFinfo ),
SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX |
SHGFI_PIDL |
SHGFI_SMALLICON );

if(!hImgList)
{
bError=TRUE;
return;
}
m_SysImgList.m_hImageList=hImgList;
}
else
{
bError=TRUE;
return;
}

Function to display icon into Tree

HTREEITEM CShellUtil::AddSpecialItem(HTREEITEM hParent, int nFolder)
{
SHFILEINFO shFinfo;
int iIcon;
BOOL bIsCDROM=FALSE;
HTREEITEM hItem;
LPITEMIDLIST pIDL;

pMem->Release();
}
}
}

Icon = shFinfo.iIcon;
hItem=m_TreeCtrl.InsertItem(_T("Test"), iIcon, iIcon, hParent);

return hItem;
}

When i call 'AddSpecialItem', it's OK to insert special folder
from "CSIDL_DESKTOP" to "CSIDL_STARTMENU" and
from "CSIDL_DESKTOPDIRECTORY" to "CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA"-> DislplayName and Icon are OK

But there is a problem from "CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS" to "CSIDL_MYVIDEO"
No icon and no display name and SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(..) return an error
I try with

if(SHGetFolderLocation(NULL, nFolder, NULL, 0, &pIDL) == S_OK)

but no success (return E_INVALIDARG)

I use lib from microsoft SDK august 2001 on win2000 Sp2 plateform with visual sp5

Write some short options into EXE

12-Sep-01 3:57

Hi
I want to write some short options directly into my executable. They should be appended at the end
of the exe (comparable to the ID3tag in MP3files).

I know how to open files in binary and write/read to/from them.

My question:

Is it possible to write the information into my executable while it is running?
Or do I need to temporarily create a copy, write it into this file and then delete original file?

thanks in advance
