Re: Total memory crash when converting from regular to extension DLL

I can't think of any reason why going from regular DLL to extension DLL should cause any problems. Without a memory checker, you will have to debug it the hard way Cry | :((

. If you get stuck, email me your project and I'll throw it under bounds checker for you.

ctrl+break

5-May-01 8:43

I run console application with redirected input/output (to files) from GUI application via CreateProcess.
Actually, console isn't allocated and that application works in background mode.
How can I send Ctrl+Break messages to that application for stop running?
Confused | :confused:

Nothing like a specific question.....

I'm not sure what you want - is your game running in a window, or full screen ? Is it using DirectX or OpenGL, or is it just using standard Windows graphics stuff ?

Assuming you're running in a Window, you can catch OnSetCursor and set your cursor to whatever you want, based on any condition you desire.

Linking errors when converting from regular to extension DLL

4-May-01 19:22

Hi!
I when I tried to convert my regular MFC-dll to an extension DLL, I get

mfcs42d.lib(dllmodul.obj) : error LNK2005: _DllMain@12 already defined in CommonDLL.obj
mfcs42d.lib(dllmodul.obj) : error LNK2005: __pRawDllMain already defined in CommonDLL.obj
mfcs42d.lib(dllmodul.obj) : warning LNK4006: _DllMain@12 already defined in CommonDLL.obj; second definition ignored
mfcs42d.lib(dllmodul.obj) : warning LNK4006: __pRawDllMain already defined in CommonDLL.obj; second definition ignored
Creating library Debug/CommonDLL.lib and object Debug/CommonDLL.exp
Debug/CommonDLL.dll : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found

I found an MSDN-article, Q148652, about this, but it seems like that text, discussing CRT libraries, isn't applicable in this case.

Any idea's?

Solved. The cause of the error was that I forgot to remove AFXMANAGESTATE macros.

Trapping Escape key with dialog based apps?

4-May-01 11:22

Hi,

I need reminder or just a little help to trap the Escape key on the dialog based app to not close the dialog, instead use a button or the supllied menu item.

Thanks.

You can do that in PretranslateMessage, but I tend to put something at the top of OnCancel like:

if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_ESCAPE))
return; // or do whatever else I want ESC to do

Hello, the codegurus around the world.

Paul DiLascia wrote his article about some similar situation.

Check here.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0700/c/c0700.asp

Someone asks Paul about "enter" key action to close the dialog box. Cool | :cool:

Have a nice day!

Override the OnCancel function like so:

void CYourDlg::OnCancel() {
	//override oncancel so we don't exit when they hit esc
}

In addition if you would like to catch the enter key you can override OnOK

void CYourDlg::OnOK() {
	//override onok so we don't exit when they hit enter
}

There is always the F1 key too which will search for a .hlp file which can be overridden by:

void CYourApp::WinHelp(DWORD dwData, UINT nCmd) {
	//CWinApp::WinHelp(dwData, nCmd);
}

(Notice this last one was in your App not the Dialog)

Hope this helped.

Given that it is a dialog box, my way is better - you don't stop the OK/Cancel buttons from working necessarily, but check if the Enter/Escape key is down respectively. That way the button works, but the key does not.

However your method changes the default way that windows works.

I prefer to change the ID of the OK button to something else, then override OnOK to do nothing. This makes it obvious to other programmers what's going on, rather than having to search around.

Christian Graus8-May-01 20:08

Ummm.... changing the default behaviour is the point of the question, isn't it ? I'd suggest that both our methods are similar enough in their impact to another programmer reading our code and in the execution that any discussion of relative merits would be nit picking.

Yes, but the problem with the PreTranslateMessage hack is that it captures the message before the normal handler has a chance to handle it. This can lead to a programmer later adding an OnOK handler and then banging their head against the wall for hours trying to figure out why their code isn't being handled when they press enter.

I make it a point to forget that PreTranslate message exists at all, unless absolutely necessary. If there is another way, I always use that in order to reduce this sort of situation.

I apologise for obsfucating my method by mentioning PreTranslateMessage, my actual method mentioned does not use it, it just checks to see if the escape key is pressed in OnCancel, so the button still works but the key does not. Similar to check for VK_ENTER in OnOK.

Using MFC to host web browser control

RobJones4-May-01 11:17

4-May-01 11:17

Hello,
I have created a Dialog App and put a Active X Web browser object into the App. I'm having problems with continuously reporting the current url being visited into a edit box. If I create an event to put the info into the edit box this works fine (example: I created a button that runs the code listed below. This posts the information fine). I would like to continuously show the url being displayed. In this article listed below provided by Microsoft it says to put the code listed at the bottom of this page into the "initialization process", this doesn't seem to work. I have put the code into BOOL CBHCBrowserDlg::OnInitDialog()

Microsoft article:
If the current location is an HTML page on the World Wide Web, you can use the IWebBrowser2::get_LocationURL methods to retrieve the full path of the folder or file. If you want this information displayed continuously, add the following code to the initialization process. If you want it displayed only when an event occurs, add the code to an event handler. The following example uses IWebBrowser2::get_LocationURL to retrieve location information and display it in an edit box.

//CWebBrowser2 m_browser - to access the WebBrowser control
//CEdit m_edit - to access the edit control

CString string1;

string1 = m_browser.GetLocationName();
m_edit.SetWindowText(string1);

Any Ideas?

THANKS,
