I would be very grateful for any constructive comments to the snippet of code below:

time_t lTime
struct tm *tm

time(&lTime)
tm = localtime(&lTime)

It is found that tm->tm_hour agrees with my PC time except between the following dates when it is 1 hour behind:

8 Mar, 2009 2:00 am
15 Mar, 2009 2:00 am

I believe the issue is in TZSET.c and only manifests itself when the day of the 1st of the month of DST is a Sunday (like 2009).

I am using VS6 and have applied KB932509 with no results

Thanks

Peter

I don't know. What else do you think it would do then?

Another thing you can check is, run dependency walker (or whatever it is called) and check the dll version you application using. I doubt this will turn anything, but you got nothing to loose.

Hello Peter

I am supporting some VC 6.0 code with localtime and am facing similiar results. I downloaded MSVCRT.DLL version 7.0.2600.3085 and it did not fix the problem.

Setting my time a week ahead fixes the problem.

Even stranger on several of my colleagues systems some VC6.0 applications work correctly and some don't (all call a shared DLL used internally calling localtime).

Very annoying but not a major issue for us as the application is currently only being used interanlly and we can live a week with it.

First Sunday of the month of DST sounds like an old problem resurfacing:

Hi,

I'm looking for some inbuilt function that can provide me to get the Root Directory and the path of the Virtual directory - "Default Web site properties" contents. I have to fetch the Home Directory - Local Path.

Does ISAPI filter provide any help?

In addition to David's reply (which is good - read the documentation for the functions!), you should also look at the documentation page for CDocTemplate.

Your application could handle different kinds of document - for example .bmp, and .jpg. So each document type would have its own CDocument (ie, CMyJpgDocument), and its own CView class (ie, CMyBmpView). This information is called a template, and stored in a CMultiDocTemplate, or CSingleDocTemplate. Each of these is stored in the App object.

So your code is going through all templates, then iterating through all documents created from each template.

You have missed off a few brackets I think!

Try single stepping through the code, and reading the document pages for more information. It is all there.

Iain.

ps, I've never created an app with more than one kind of template, but the possibility exists!

Scroll Bars and Input Fields

BobInNJ9-Mar-09 7:44

I have written a simple application that has a horizontal scroll bar and an input field of type
CEdit. Here is the class definition for the main window.

class CMainWindow : public CFrameWnd {<br />
<br />
<br />
public:<br />
	CMainWindow();<br />
	<br />
protected:<br />
	afx_msg int OnCreate( LPCREATESTRUCT );<br />
	afx_msg void OnSize( UINT nType, int cx, int cy );<br />
<br />
	afx_msg void OnPaint();<br />
	afx_msg void OnHScroll( UINT nCode, UINT nPos, CScrollBar *pScrollBar );<br />
<br />
	DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()<br />
<br />
private:<br />
<br />
	int charWidth;<br />
<br />
	int m_nPageWidth;<br />
	int m_HorzScrollPos;<br />
<br />
	CEdit input1;<br />
<br />
};

Here is the code that I use to create the window:

<br />
int<br />
CMainWindow::OnCreate( LPCREATESTRUCT lpcs )<br />
{<br />
	if ( CFrameWnd::OnCreate( lpcs ) == -1 )<br />
		return -1;<br />
<br />
	<br />
	TEXTMETRIC tm;<br />
	CClientDC dc(this);<br />
	dc.GetTextMetrics( &tm );<br />
<br />
	charWidth = tm.tmAveCharWidth;<br />
<br />
	input1.CreateEx( WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, TEXT("edit"), NULL,<br />
                WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER | WS_TABSTOP | ES_AUTOHSCROLL,<br />
                    150, 125, 60, 20,<br />
                    m_hWnd, (HMENU)500, NULL );<br />
	return 0;<br />
}

Here is the code I use to paint the window:

void<br />
CMainWindow::OnPaint()<br />
{<br />
    CPaintDC dc(this);<br />
    dc.SetWindowOrg( m_HorzScrollPos, 0 );<br />
    dc.TextOut( 150, 100,<br />
      TEXT( "This is a very long string which I hope will take up most of the line" ), 69 );<br />
}

The code, mostly, works. However, I do have one issue. If I run the program and using the mouse I make the window small (in the horizontal direction) a horizontal scroll bar shows up. This is to be expected. I then use the mouse to move the scroll bar to the middle of the window. Now, I minimize the window and then maximize the window. After doing this, I would expect the text and the input field (of type CEdit) to be drawn aligned on the screen. However, this is not the case. The text is shifted to the right (at least relative to the input field). I do not understand why and I am hoping somebody here can tell me what I am missing.

Thanks

CHtmlView not displaying anything [modified]

Hi,
I have created splitter window ,one of the window is of type CFrameWnd which
creates a CHtmlView in it ,so the problem is that whenever Navigate2() (or
Navigate()) is called in OnInitialUpdate() the page is displayed ,but if I
call it in any other function (created by me) and which is called from
CFrameWnd window it does not display anything although OnDocumentComplete()
gets called but nothing is displayed.

here is the code:
To Create the view inside CFrameWnd where CBrowserView is CHtmlView derived
class.

BOOL CBrowserFrame::OnCreateClient(LPCREATESTRUCT lpcs,CCreateContext* 
pContext)
{
    // Create a contextt.
    CCreateContext context;
    pContext = &context;
    // Assign custom view.
  
    pContext->m_pNewViewClass = RUNTIME_CLASS(CBrowserView);

    // Create the view.
	pview = (CBrowserView *) CreateView(pContext, AFX_IDW_PANE_FIRST);
	((CMainFrame*)GetParentFrame())->pBView=pview;
    if (pview ==NULL)
        return FALSE;
   pview->Test(); //Nothing is displayed!!
    // Notify the view.
    pview->SendMessage(WM_INITIALUPDATE);
    SetActiveView(pview, FALSE);
	return CFrameWnd::OnCreateClient(lpcs,pContext);
    
}

In the CBrowserView:

void CBrowserView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
	Navigate2("http://localhost");
	CHtmlView::OnInitialUpdate();
}
void CBrowserView::OnDocumentComplete(LPCTSTR lpszURL)
{
	MessageBox("OnDocumentComplete()");
	CHtmlView::OnDocumentComplete(lpszURL);
}
void CBrowserView::Test()
{
	Navigate("http://www.google.com");
}

And I also want to draw something in this view is it possible using
CClientDC as I am not able to draw anything , and it seems as if the OnDraw()
function of a CHtmlView never gets called?
Please help me.

Accessing Private member of a base Class from a Derived Class

ForNow9-Mar-09 6:36

Hi,

I recently got a answer to a question regarding a CwinThread question

I was pointed to a article on the code project

the following is the URL wwww.codeproject.com/KB/threads/extended_thread_aspx

my question is regarding the following snipet of code from the Article

CThreadEx::CThreadEx (AFX_THREADPROC pfnThreadProc) : CWinThread (pfnThreadProc, NULL) {
m_bAutoDelete = FALSE;

// Undocumented variable. Need to set the thread parameters variable to this
m_pThreadParams = this;
}

The author uses a inilizer list to pass paramters to the base Class'es contructer I have no problem

With this

My problem is the next line of code m_pThreadParam = this

The author points out that this contructer isn't the one documented AFXWIN.H

However I found a more complete discription of the CWinthread in the following PPT
presentation below is the URL
ttp://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:azRHOpLik8MJ:www.ecs.syr.edu/faculty/fawcett/handouts/cse778/Lecture7/Additional%2520Thread%2520Info/threads.ppt+MORE+ON+THREADS+BUKIN&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us

Anyway on page 5 of the PPT presentation is a more complete descrption of the CWinThread
Class

and m_pThreadParams seems to be a private member of the base Class CWinThread Class

I haven't build the code in the article but I am wondering if it would work

I use these two functions that I have copied from codeproject to use transparent static text and background in my application. But everytime I put a command button in my application the application seems to run for milliseconds and vanishes without me closing out. I am a beginner and any suggestion would be great thank you.

HBRUSH CTrialDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hbr;

if( nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_STATIC )
{
pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
//pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255, 0, 0));
hbr = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject( NULL_BRUSH );
}

else
{
hbr = CTrialDlg::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
}

return hbr;
}

BOOL CTrialDlg::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC)
{
CBitmap m_bitmap;
BOOL rVal = FALSE; //CWizardPage_Base::OnEraseBkgnd(pDC);

if( m_bitmap.LoadBitmap( IDB_Background ) )
{
CRect rect;
GetClientRect( &rect );

CDC dc;
dc.CreateCompatibleDC( pDC );
CBitmap* pOldBitmap = dc.SelectObject( &m_bitmap );

pDC->BitBlt( 0, 0, rect.Width(), rect.Height(), &dc, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);

dc.SelectObject(pOldBitmap);
rVal = TRUE;
}

return rVal;
}

Yeah It should have been CDialog. Thanks for that.
But I have got another problem now. I am using arrays to display text through my static text and everytime I am displaying the next question, the text is overlayered above the previous one. Is there any function to flush the text...
thank you..
snippet of my code for displaying static text from array:

m_QUESTIONS.SetWindowText(Questions[counter]);
m_cAnswer1.SetWindowText(Answers[counter][0]);
m_cAnswer2.SetWindowText(Answers[counter][1]);
m_cAnswer3.SetWindowText(Answers[counter][2]);

I have an application that is running on a japanese machine and it seems that the code in that application is not working properly.
It is having a char a[256] array and it looks like the char array is not getting populated with a string.
In all strcpy(a, "test is here") is not working. Is this something related to unicode stuff on japanese locale. Will usage of tchar solve the problem?
