If it belongs in the Doc then it belongs in the Doc. Are you sure tempStr exists. My guess is not.

Nope. TempStr definitely exists. I also tried using just a literal string, but that didnt work either.

Using a BHO to Insert Menu Into IE

Is it possible to use a BHO to add a new menu item to IE? I'm new to API hooking, so I read API Hooking Revealed. Ivo mentions BHO, but doesn't go into any depth. I also read the article on the Microsoft website
Browser Helper Objects: The Browser the Way You Want It. It talks about manipulating the document itself. I just don't see an documentation on manipulating the menus. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm also new to COM, so please bear with me.

Thanks in advance.

a very weird problem regarding globals...

nss4-Oct-02 14:47

My apps been working fine, but to my horror I have found that some of my globals are declared before the messagemap, some after...and they are still global!! Is this weird ?

Also if I declare a vector

std::vector<CString> vec;

before the msgmap, the linker groans, but after the msgmap and theres no problem. Heres the situation:

(format explanation: my angled brackets have vanished in the post, but I do have the types for the maps etc where they should be in angled brackets)

Is this weird ?or are things still global no matter if they are before or
after the mesagemap?

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <atlconv.h>
extern CTrain1App theApp;
#define BIF_NONEWFOLDERBUTTON  0x0200
#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#undef THIS_FILE
static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;
#endif
using namespace std;
BOOL g_FlagNoPhotoDB;
BOOL g_fResetToFullDB;  char* xDontCare;
std::vector<CString> vec; ///////doesnt work here

IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE(CTrain1View, CFormView)

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CTrain1View, CFormView)
 //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CTrain1View)
 ON_COMMAND(ID_SELECTDATABASE, OnSelectdatabase)

 )
 //}}AFX_MSG_MAP
 ON_MESSAGE (KEYWORDS_READY, OnKeyWordsReady)
 ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(ID_INDICATOR_TEST, OnUpdateIndicatorTest)
 // Standard printing commands
 ON_COMMAND(ID_FILE_PRINT, CFormView::OnFilePrint)
 ON_COMMAND(ID_FILE_PRINT_DIRECT, CFormView::OnFilePrint)
 ON_COMMAND(ID_FILE_PRINT_PREVIEW, CFormView::OnFilePrintPreview)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

std::map<int,CImages> imageMap;

std::map<CString,CTrio> trioMap;

std::vector<CString> vec;  ///works here
CString gDatabaseName;

CString gImageFolderLoc;

int globaln_popDisplayFlag =1;
PALETTETYPE globalPaletteType = OriginalPaletteType;
RGBQUAD* pGlobalPalette = 0;
int globalZoomFactor = 100;

double globalBaselineImageWidth = 20;


float globalBright = 0.5;

float globalContrast = 0.5;


// a new class starts: 
CImages::CImages(void)
{
 imageSize = 0;



There are globals at the start, like they should be. Then there a bunch of
globals AFTER the messagemap, If I make a global vector there(after msgmaps)
it compiles, but making it before the messagemaps it doesnt
compile.

Maybe... There's a WMP SDK out on Micrsoft's website somewhere, you could give that a look.

Donno if it'd do what you need, but you can also embed WMP into your app as an ActiveX control; DDJ had an article mentioning this in their October issue - the source is here.

the linker cant find the functions, Time::GetMin(void) and Time::GetHour(void).

This could be because the functions have not been defined, or the library is not included in your project properties.

Weird CListView behavior, Bug?

Anonymous4-Oct-02 10:49

4-Oct-02 10:49

Hello,
I am seeing some weird List View behaviors.. I am trying to resize all my columns when the window is re-sized.. When i make the window bigger the header resizes fine, when I make the window smaller the header still resizes fine but I get a scroll bar at the bottom of the view (every other time its sized smaller). If I click on the scroll bar it goes away (because it should never have been drawn).. Anyone seen this? Here is a snip of the WM_SIZE..

void CMyListView::OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy) 
{
	GetListCtrl().SetColumnWidth(0,cx);
	GetListCtrl().SetColumnWidth(1,0);
	GetListCtrl().SetColumnWidth(2,0);
	GetListCtrl().SetColumnWidth(3,0);
	GetListCtrl().SetColumnWidth(4,0);
	GetListCtrl().SetColumnWidth(5,0);
	
	CListView::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);
}

Beginner problem: drawing button in activex ctrl

Daelus4-Oct-02 10:43

Daelus

4-Oct-02 10:43

I'm trying to draw a button in my active x control.

I just need simple button/text elements, so I thought I could just use the ResourceView->Dialog to add the components visually.

However, it seems I'm only able to create Dialogs, and I'm not able to add directly to the normal visual area of the active x control.

So... my question is how do I draw, say, a simple CButton in the OnDraw area of my control?

something like:

void CAChatCtrl::OnDraw(CDC* pdc, const CRect& rcBounds, const CRect& rcInvalid)
{
   CButton testButton = new Button();
   CRect bBounds = new CRect( rcBounds->r - 30, rcBounds->b - 30, rcBounds->r, rcBounds->b );
   testButton::Create("DrawnButon",BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON,bBounds,?,??);
}

Sorry about asking such an easy question Smile | :)

I need to change the background colour of a CButton? Is there any way to do it

a) without creating a new class?
b) if creating a new class, without owner-draw?

Mixing MSVCRT and MSVCRTD

Aaron Schaefer4-Oct-02 9:36

Aaron Schaefer

4-Oct-02 9:36

Anybody know what's supposed to happen if you do this? I've got a project where it seems like both of these .dll's are present, and I seem to be getting a lot of heap warnings in the dbug build. I open up depends, and lo and behold, both of the runtimes are there.

I think I should be using the MSVCRTD alone, but it appears that the MSVCRT is getting loaded as a dependency of shell32.dll. I am calling SHGetFileInfo.

Is there a debug shell32.dll? If so, how do I get it instead of the release one?

Thanks,

Aaron

CPropertyPage and modeless dialog

Gero Gerber4-Oct-02 9:02

Gero Gerber

4-Oct-02 9:02

I have a class derived from CPropertyPage which contains a modeless dialog. On dialog creation I pass a client rect structure of the property page. I also handle OnSize() and OnShowWindow() in the property page class to resize/show/hide the dialog. But at startup this dialog is not correctly aligned in the property page. It is displayed beyond the property page's edges. If I move to another property page and then go back to the malicious one everything is fine. Anybode knows a solution for this....

The funny thing is that this bug happens only with Windows 98/ME - Windows 2000/XP is fine...

Re: I found the solution

lucy29-Oct-02 3:38

lucy

The dialog is not properly aligned at the first time only, is because that the property sheet was moved after the first active property page was shown. This is the message handling sequence:

CMyPropertyPage::OnShowWindow()
{
    // align the modeless dialog
}
CMyView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
    // place the property sheet at the top left corner
    m_sheet.MoveWindow(&sheetRect, TRUE);
}

so the solution is: reshow the property page after the property sheet is moved to a correct position. My method is:

CMyView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
    // place the property sheet at the top left corner
    m_sheet.MoveWindow(&sheetRect, TRUE);

    m_sheet.GetActivePage()->SendMessage(WM_SHOWWINDOW, FALSE, 0);
    m_sheet.GetActivePage()->SendMessage(WM_SHOWWINDOW, TRUE, 0);
}

A simple hooking problem

generic_user_id4-Oct-02 8:50

generic_user_id

4-Oct-02 8:50

I'm trying to hook up to another program, using SetWindowsHookEx.

I need to hook to a specific application (ie: calc.exe) so a global hook shouldn't be neccecary.

HHOOK hook = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_MOUSE,
                             (HOOKPROC) MouseHookProc,
		             AfxGetInstanceHandle(),               
                             tID // Thread ID of Calc.exe
                             );

SetWindowsHookEx returns 0, the hook is set succesfully. Yet, when I move with my mouse over the calc dialog, the calculator crashes.

I think I need to use the Process instance of calc.exe instead of the instance of the program that hooks to it. If that is the case, how can I get the HINSTANCE of a process?

If that's not the case, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance and kind regards,

Griffith

Re: A simple hooking problem

You gotta put the hook procedure in a dll that can be loaded by Calc.exe's process. Then pass SetWindowsHookEx the HINSTANCE for that dll as loaded into your process. (as well as the pointer to the hook procedure)

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
