Use SelectClipRgn on the Device context of the Bitmap Button Control and BitBlt the Bitmap on to it.

Wrapping MFC app in a ActiveX for embedding in Explorer

21-Feb-01 3:23

Is it possible to take an existing MFC based app (say something based on MDI) and wrap it into an OCX for placement in a web browser? I know we'd have to do some things to de-MFC/MDI some of the application but is there somewhere to look for at least how perhaps we could approach this if it is even possible???

Thanks!

even if you could the size of the resulting activex would be so huge nobody would want to download it probably

maybe use atl instead?

Easter Date Calculation Egg

Yeah, I know this is trivial,
But does anyone know how to calculate the orthodox and nonothodox Easter Friday Dates From a Year Value.
I'm thinking it could make a Kool Easter Egg system to implement

Hmmm | :|

I think you need to know the phases of the moon.

Perhaps we can add a moon tracking service to the OS. You would then be able to divide up the phase into ticks, much as the GetTickCount does ('cept they chose a 49.7 day cycle, for efficiency.)

All we have to do is sync with the great cosmic moon 'puter (running at Cern, I believe) during bootup, then our apps can call GetLunaTicCount to determine the current proximity to the new moon. If there are no LunaTics, its a miracle, and it must be Easter.

I found this - from Gauss - apparently how its actually done for Easter Sunday:

CString strEaster;
ldiv_t ldResult;
int R1, R2, R3, R4, R5;

int Y = 2001;

ldResult = ldiv(Y,19);
R1 = ldResult.rem;

ldResult = ldiv(Y,4);
R2 = ldResult.rem;

ldResult = ldiv(Y,7);
R3 = ldResult.rem;

ldResult = ldiv((19*R1) + 24,30);
R4 = ldResult.rem;

ldResult = ldiv((2*R2)+(4*R3)+(6*R4)+5,7);
R5 = ldResult.rem;

if(R4 + R5 >=10)
    strEaster.Format("April %d", R4+R5-9);
else
    strEaster.Format("March %d", R4+R5+22);

Guess you could fiddle to get the Friday. For Greek Orthodox, I guess if you had the full rationale for the formula you could adapt it. Must be more interesting stuff on the web - just thought this was neat - apparently it even takes into account the lunar cycles I was on about. Wow. Gauss rulez.

hey travis Smile | :)

tsr programming ... now that takes me back ... terminate and stay resident apps were a dos thing that let you make the system look like it was multitasking when in fact it wasnt ... in windows you don't really need such things

are you doing dos work? or are you just not understanding the difference with the windows way of doing things?

Passing data from Document to a Modal Dialog

20-Feb-01 21:51

Hi,

I am new to visual C++ programming and I need some help please. How can I access a simple int variable defined in a Document from within a Modal Dialog?

I thank you in advance,
Christos P.

Re: Passing data from Document to a Modal Dialog

You need to declare a pointer to the document from your dialog class ( or I suppose you could pass it in the contructor, but what I am about to show you will be more generally useful, so here goes )

To get a pointer to your main window do something like this

CMainFrame* pMain = (CMainFrame*) AfxGetMainWnd();

then in an SDI app you can get the view like this:

CMpAppView* pView = (CMyAppView*) pMain->GetActiveView();

and the doc like this

CMyAppDoc* pDoc = (CMyAppDoc*) pView->GetDocument();

Of course, you may find you need to impliment get/set methods to your data, or declare your dialog to be a friend of your document class. Please don't take the cheap way and make all of your document data public, it is a poor design, even if it is quick 'n' dirty.

If your program is MDI, just insert MDIGetActive()-> before GetActiveView, the rest is the same. And for the sake of completeness, AfxGetApp() returns your CWinApp derived class ( don't forget to cast it ).

Scroll in CRichEditView

We have some troubles to make a program creating Child Window in CRichEditView
(for example, CButton using Create function)

We create Thread which can check the ScrollBar's position (position checker) every 0.1second.
It makes Child Window move as much as Scroll moves.
But When we are Scrolling the CRichEditView,
Child Window is not scrolled properly as Whole size is changed for using Backspace, Delete key
although the Text is scrolled.

Becuase the value, CRichEditView's movement, is not informed to ScrollBar accurately.

We need Function to transfer Scroll Pixel value whenever CRichEdiView moves,
Function to return Region which Text occupied or
Function to get ScrollBar's address and handle on the View basis.

Please Let us know how to make a function like that or there is any API having this function

Thank you!!!
