thanks but where is VK_ALT defined? its not in WinUser.h
|
|
|

Oh I'm sorry I forgot it's actually VK_MENU. Does not make much since does it?

I guessed that was it. I have found that the following will make the underlines appear
keybd_event(VK_MENU, NULL, NULL, NULL);
but this does not remove them
keybd_event(VK_MENU, NULL, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, NULL);
Interestingly I have found that for dialogs without menus pressing the alt key will make the underlines appear on the buttons and other controls but pressing it again does not remove the underlines and pressing esc does not remove them either.

^That is to simulate the key being released.
This feature of xp can be found in the System Display dialogbox, Start>Control Panel>Display>Appearance>Effects>Hide underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key

You can't. Why would you want to? It's a Windows feature - it's got nothing to do with your program. The safest thing to do is not to try to change the way Windows operates - it's what most users will expect and be comfortable with.

i agree with you. However the problem I am trying to fix is as follows
1) User opens dialog. CDialog derived object is created. InitDialog() runs and this takes a while because its loading data
2) Then the dialog is displayed
3) Then the user presses alt and the underlines appear
4) Then the user presses close and I call ShowWindow(SW_HIDE)
5) User reopens dialog. I call ShowWindow(SW_SHOW) on the object created in step one
6) Dialog opens and underlines are still displayed
This is a problem from the user point of view because they expect the dialog to look the same every time they open it. I can delete the dialog object and create a new one every time but this is very slow

Aha! The underlines are still displayed because you never closed the dialog box.

How volatile is the data? Can you load it the first time you open the dialog box and then cache it so you don't have to load it the next time?

I can do that but at the moment all the dialogs are handled in this way by common code. Our customer is very close to going to production with this system and Im reluctant to make that kind of change at the moment. I was hoping to just make a one line change that would be easy for them to test.

Yes, this is a well-documented Windows feature. On the Display Properties dialog, select the Effects tab. It's the checkbox labeled "Hide keyboard navigation indicators until I use the Alt key."

I'm trying to open the system store from IIS web extension and I
get an ACESS_DENIED error. It works when I run extension in "High-Isolation" mode under account belonging to Administrators group (which is not safe at all!!!), but id doesn't work if I run it under local IWAM_<machinename> account or specially-created "non-administrator" domain account. Where (and how) adjustments should be done to make it work?
Here is the call I make (C++)
store = CertOpenStore( CERT_STORE_PROV_SYSTEM,
PKCS_7_ASN_ENCODING | X509_ASN_ENCODING,
NULL,
CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_LOCAL_MACHINE,
L"MY"
);
Thanks,
Andrey

Would you be so kind as to suggest me how it is possible to make IE Toolbar in WTL sample here multiline. I tried SetRows() but it does not help me(of course I used TBSTYLE_WRAPABLE). I have read similar article here about problems with SetRows() in a simple floating Toolbar, it was solved be resizing parent control (or so?). I also had no luck in this approach. I always getting one line (but seems to me SetRows return correct coordinates as it should be to display the whole toolbar).
By the way, I used cmnctrl1 sample from MSDN and here SetRows works to set 2 lines(but not 3) even without TBSTYLE_WRAPABLE.
Best Regards,
Igor

i am overriding wndproc an handling the wm_command and wm_notify message appropriately.
in the case statement of wm_notify this is what i have
case WM_NOTIFY:
nmhdr = (NMHDR*) lParam;
notificationId = nmhdr->code;
if(notificationId == NM_CLICK)
{
AfxMessageBox(_T("CLICKED"));
return FALSE;
}
else if(notificationId == NM_DBLCLK)
{
AfxMessageBox(_T("double CLICKED"));
return FALSE;
}
...
....
//more if else goes here
else
{
// call default
}
the flow does enter this switch statement but never invokes the appropriate handler. When i tried to get the value of the notificationId it shows some junk value though nmhdr is properly initialzed and the controlid that generated the message is correct. what am i missing?
thanks

I am unsure how to start solving this problem.
I though i would begin by using the Knuth-Morris-Pratt string matching
algorithm does any one have a sugestion as to where i should begin.
Input would be the Filename: wordfind.in
The input file consists of a square table and a list of words. A blank line follows the table and then the words to find, one per line.
This is a sample of what my file contains.
cenad
aatps
rnrpj
hello
wmneo
hello
apple
car
me
men
ran
woman
Output
Filename: wordfind.out
This is what I wish my program to do after the program is run:
hello (3, 0) E
apple (0, 3) S
car (0, 0) S
car (0, 0) SE
me (4, 1) N
men (4, 1) N
ran (2, 0) NE
woman NOT FOUND

Hi
I am a newbie to C++ programming and am wanting to get three user inputs from the screen. If i use 2 char variables and an int variable my programe goes through the three screen prompts asking for the input data. But if I change the first input to a char variable[20] and use a getline() function it displays the first prompt but does not stop for user input but continues to the second prompt waiting for user input.
How can I retrieve text from a user input like "Car" and the a second prompt for number plate "WWW111" for example?
Thanks

cin should do this for you ? Have you tried using a std::string instead of a char array ?
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using std::cin;
using std::string;
using std:cout;
int main()
{
cout << "type it in";
string s;
cin >> s;
cout << "You entered : " << s;
}
That's from memory by a guy whose C++ is VERY rusty. But I think it should work.

This worked for me, unless I misunderstood your problem:
void main( void )
{
char m[20];
int a, b;
cout << "Char ";
cin >> m;
cout << "Int a ";
cin >> a;
cout << "Int b ";
cin >> b;
cout << "Char " << m << endl;
cout << "Int a " << a << endl;
cout << "Int b " << b << endl;
}

Hi!
I'm going nuts here! Spent a whole week building three huge classes and now got a bright idea...What if I was to organise my classes, def in headers, say cls1.h cls2.h cls3.h (by the by got implementation files .cpp's  ),
into a neat monster class clsMonster.h!
If you didn't understand what happened just now dont worry I still cant figure out why I even had the thought in the first place!
The thing is I got these 3 classes that logicaly are a part of a thing that can be a big class on its own. I started developing them separately since they are big but now feel that they would be neater if there was one class containing them sub classes (just jaming every member in clsMonster would be overkill and give me 2000+ lines to debug in one pile!  ).
I made a new header, defined the big class but now need to access the members of sub classes from main() thru the big class.
Problem: Cant figure out the damn syntax of accessing the members of sub classes.
eg.
....
#include "cls1_H.h"
#include "cls2_H.h"
#include "cls3_H.h"
class Player
{
blah blah
};
.....
#include "Player_H.h"
main()
{
Player myChar;
myChar.blah blah(); // this would access members of Player
}
BUT HOW DO I ACCESS THE HEADERS INCLUDED IN Player.h???
Is there an other way to do this! (main concern - neat groups!!!)
If anyone is on this particular line right now, THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!

Sorry but your question makes no-sense at all.
Can you give an example of what is in cls1_H.h that you are trying to access. The blah blah in Player is a little confusing. A real example would be more helpful to diagnose your issues.

First problem. Try to design your structure so your classes are lightweight.

That's NOT neat, it's a 'monster', a maintenance nightmare.

Forget it! I think I was sleepwalking ystrday or somthn.
Figured the whole thing out. By the way classes are so big due to enums, got lots of them!!!

Generate files
How can we generate files.
for example if I want to make an exe file that generate another exe file.
and if i make a program and put an edit box, and when i write something in the edit box, and click generate. the value in the edit box will be edited to the generated exe files
or
if i have an exe file that have an (m_value) Cstring
and make another file to edit/change (m_value) Cstring
is it possible?
thanks alot

You've got one. It's called a compiler 
Dody_DK wrote:

Your compiler does this also. You can take a string and shove it into a file easy enough, it's 'generating' an exe that is the job.
Dody_DK wrote:

You need to define a process to do this, your two processes need to communicate and cooperate to achieve this.

you misunderstod me
I know that the compiler make the exe programs
