I have tested DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL and DBT_DEVICEREMOVECOMPLETE Messages and they work fine

DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL and DBT_DEVICEREMOVECOMPLETE are not messages.
They are parameters to the WM_DEVICECHANGE message as David said.

Hello all,
I am using Visual Studio 2008, and I created a new MDI application. In the setup of the application, I chose a file extension to use. In InitInstance of the class derived from CWinApp, I added this code as the first line of the function:
AfxMessageBox("InitInstance");
Also, in the class derived from CWinApp, I added as the first line of the function OnDDECommand:
AfxMessageBox("OnDDECommand");
When I run this program from the IDE, everything appears to be fine. However, when I run this from Windows explorer and double-click on the appropriate file (a file with the extension my program uses), I see the message: "Windows cannot find 'E:\Mikea Documents\mdi41.mdi4'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search." I also saw the InitInstance message as was expected, but I didn't see any GUI, nor did I see any OnDDECommand message. The application remains open. Now, if I double-click on the file again, I see the OnDDECommand message and the GUI, but I didn't see the InitInstance message. The application now closes.
I have looked at different places on the internet to try to figure out why this is happening, but I haven't gotten anywhere. Does anyone have any ideas?
Regards,
Mike

My best guess is that of the Messagebox you have put in the InitInstance is behind this behaviour. The first time you double click on your file "mdi41.mdi4", your .exe application gets launched, however it is not getting intitalized correctly, untill you dismiss the MessageBox->"InitInstance" by clicking OK.
Once this happens, even though the document did not get loaded correctly, the Application may still be running (verify this using taskmanager). And next time you double click on the document again, the above mentioned running instance get the notification and loads the document correctly.

Hello,
I checked the Task Manager, and sure enough, the program was still running.
However, I want the program to show the InitInstance message and run the GUI regardless of whether the program is run from the IDE or the program is run after double-clicking the mdi4 file. Furthermore, I don't want to see the "Windows cannot find 'E:\MikeA Documents\mdi41.mdi4'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search." message.
Regards,
Mike

Try to show the message using modelelss dialogbox, or spawn a thread from InitInstance to display the message box.

This seems to be a bug within windows, it should have displayed a better error message, like for eg: "The DDE transcation failed", however if the actual issue (blocking InitInstance()) is addressed, then you might not face this one anyways.

Hi all,
I am trying to read a file having read-only property checked. i am not able to read the file and it is showing some exception from the file wincore.cpp stating "Accessing filepath\filename was denied"..
Is it a problem with CFile::moderead??
thanks,
rakesh.

Can you at least show the relevant code?

Most decidedly, this has nothing to do with CFile itself, but that you're doing something wrong. Can you show us your code?

Without seeing your code, most likely you're trying to open the file with read/write access, which will fail. If you show your code, perhaps we can be more helpful.

Hi
I used following code to replace my application menu.
CMenu mu;
mu.LoadMenu(nMenuID);
SetMenu(&mu);
DrawMenuBar();
The new menu was loaded. But whenever I tried to get MENU Handle, I will get an assertion error.
CMenu* pMenu = GetMenu();
HMENU hmenu = pMenu->GetSafeHmenu(); --->Assertion error.
How can I solve this?
Thanks,

I'm not an expert about, but I suppose in not a good idea using a CMenu temporary object.
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

Apparently[^], using a local object is the canonical way to set a menu, but CMenu::Detach()[^] nneds to be called before the temp object goes out of scope.
Ah, the beauties of MFC

Of course, the canonical way depends on the documentation author of the moment... [^].

OK, I just read this post.
Well, I see that MFC is *actually* beautiful. One mistake is that most frequently done by newbies is putting a CFont object on the stack, setting the font of a control with this, and then wondering why it "didn't work". But they'll eventually get things to work and will appreciate the framework.

Is mu local or does it have class scope?
What line of what file is asserting?
"Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw later in life what you have deposited along the way." - Unknown

The Debugger did not guide me to there.
Thanks

Assertions have nothing to do with the debugger. When an assertion fires, you'll see:
Assertion Failed: File %hs, Line %d
"Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw later in life what you have deposited along the way." - Unknown

atlmfc\include\afxwin1.inl: Line 900
Thanks,

So did you look at line 900 of afxwin1.inl to see what condition is asserting?
"Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw later in life what you have deposited along the way." - Unknown

{ ASSERT(this == NULL || m_hMenu == NULL || ::IsMenu(m_hMenu));
I think the menu was destroyed.

Does not return a CMenu*. You should be calling CWnd::GetMenu().

It does if called in the context of a CWnd-derived class.

My (mis-)reading of the documentation implied that you had to call this on a CWnd object reference.
