Re: Why is my DoModal call creating a box on my taskbar?

I believe so...here is the constructor...
CPartitionsDlg::CPartitionsDlg(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/)
: CDialog(CPartitionsDlg::IDD, pParent)
{
//{{AFX_DATA_INIT(CPartitionsDlg)
// NOTE: the ClassWizard will add member initialization here
//}}AFX_DATA_INIT
// Note that LoadIcon does not require a subsequent DestroyIcon in Win32
// m_hIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDR_PARTITION);
}

Ok, CPartionsDlg constructor accepts a CWnd* as a parent window. But are you passing a CWnd* as a parent window when constructing the object? Please show the line where you declare the CPartitionsDlg variable on which you call the DoModal method.

Here it is....

// Call the Partition Dialog.
CPartitionsDlg part;
part.DoModal();

Should be calling the default constructor.

Yes, that's calling the default constructor with no parameter, so the constructor instantiates the parameter with the default value, which is NULL.

Try passing some window as a parameter to the constructor and see if that fixes your problem. Something like:

If that code is inside a method of some class derived from a CWnd:

// Call the Partition Dialog.
CPartitionsDlg part(this);
part.DoModal();

Otherwise:

// Call the Partition Dialog.
CPartitionsDlg part(AfxGetMainWnd());
part.DoModal();

May sound obvious but is the 'Application Window' property of the dialog resource set to false?

I tried looking at the dialog properties and Don't see an 'Application Window' setting. I'm on Visual 6.0.

Thanks Tim that did the trick
I have to manually edit the resource file, but that did the trick. Thanks for all the help everyone! Wink | ;)

Is it a dialog-based application? If so then what you describe is normal behavior.

You have to use WinInet api's for posting data to a URL.
Here are the link that will help you to proceed :-

Hi,

I'm trying to use some of the functions I was using in an MFC application in a console application. I've created a console application with Visual Studio.Net 2003.

Looks like I am missing some header(s). however i cannot find out which. I have added and tried all the header files i can think of.

These are my include files:
//----------------------------------------
#pragma once

#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <winnt.h>
#include <CommCtrl.h>
#include <windef.h>
#include <PrSht.h>
#include <initguid.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <setupapi.h>
#include <devguid.h>
#include <regstr.h>

// my include files
// ...

#include "stdafx.h"

using namespace std;
//----------------------------------------

output:
*******************************************
... \Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\SetupAPI.h(56) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before ...
... \Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\CommCtrl.h(30) : error C2501: 'HRESULT' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
... \Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\PrSht.h(97) : error C2065: 'CALLBACK' : undeclared identifier
... \Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\PrSht.h(97) : error C2501: 'UINT' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
...
...
*******************************************
It looks so strange.
I will be very happy if someone can suggest a solution.

Thanks in advance

OMG | :OMG:

Using MFC in a console application ???? It is simply impossible to do that. MFC are (in majority) wrapper classes around the Win32 API thus it is purely a Win32 application.

I'm trying to use only some of the functions that i had used in my mfc application. this was only to show that they could be compiled.

i am using a win32 console project now.

Can you use the Win32 API in a console application ?? This seems something really strange to me. Or at least I never heard about that D'Oh! | :doh:

Of course, that is a very common thing to do. Why would you think functions like lstrcpy(), ZeroMemory(), RegOpenKeyEx(), and CopyFile() would be limited to just GUI-based applications?

Mmmhh, yes for that I agree... But everything related to window management cannot be used in console application, am I right ? And so, a big part of the MFC cannot be used neither.
But ok, it doesn't mean that nothing can be used...

Correct.

cedric moonen wrote:

I guess that depends on your definition of "big part." Here is a map of the MFC library that I use. I would not say that a "big part" of the classes were windows-specific. Of the 129 classes shown, about 94 of them can be used in console and GUI applications.
