Comment out each of the SetWindowText() statements and recompile. Does the problem go away? If so, remove the comment from each statement individually and see which causes the problem to start.

Also try "rebuild all." One of my pet peeves with VC6 is that it will not allow one to make Resource.h a dependency. That thoroughly annoys me. I can understand the rationale to not want it to be but to prohibit it from being one is stupid I think.

In all of my projects, resource.h is indeed in the dependency list. What am I missing here?

Phone Number Format

Does anyone know of a good piece of code for formating phone numbers. By good, I mean formating based on country code (at the very least). Most of the hits I am seeing, on the WWW, seem to think it is pretty neat to be able to format a US phone number, but any programmer can do that (if someone cann't, there not a programmer).

Thanks for any help!

Thanks David, thats about what I thought!

According to every thing I have now read even Microsoft cann't do it, except for certain countries with fixed formats (and problems may occur even for those). There is no garantee that any format will not change in the future; thereby breaking code depending on it.

Scrollbar doesn't scroll all the way

Budric B.22-Dec-04 4:49

Hi,
I'm havin a silly problem with a scroll bar. It works but it never scrolls all the way to the maximum range value.

For example here's the code:

<br />
		SCROLLINFO ScrollInfo;<br />
		ScrollInfo.cbSize = sizeof(ScrollInfo); <br />
		ScrollInfo.fMask = SIF_ALL;            <br />
		ScrollInfo.nMin = 0;                        <br />
		ScrollInfo.nMax = 125<br />
		ScrollInfo.nPage = ScrollInfo.nMax / 10;<br />
		ScrollInfo.nPos = 0;<br />
		ScrollInfo.nTrackPos = 0;				<br />
		m_ImageHorizontalScroll.SetScrollInfo(&ScrollInfo);	<br />
		int result = m_ImageHorizontalScroll.SetScrollPos(10);  //works<br />
		result = m_ImageHorizontalScroll.SetScrollPos(123);  //it appears to work<br />
		result = m_ImageHorizontalScroll.GetScrollPos();  //returns 113!!!  Where's the 123?<br />

So I have to set the nMax to my value + a fudge number? What should that number be?
Thanks.

Strange CTypedPtrArray error

Polly Parrot22-Dec-04 3:31

Polly Parrot

22-Dec-04 3:31

I have this class declared as

-------------------------------------------------------------------

class CMyArray : public CTypedPtrArray< CObArray, CMyDataClass* ><br />
{<br />
public:<br />
  ...<br />
  CMyArray();<br />
  virtual ~CMyArray();<br />
protected:<br />
  ...<br />
};

-------------------------------------------------------------------

where the CMyDataClass is declared as

-------------------------------------------------------------------

class CMyDataClass:public CObject<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
  CMyDataClass( );<br />
  virtual ~CMyDataClass( );<br />
  ...  <br />
protected:<br />
  ... <br />
};

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Upon compile I get this error:
error C2653: 'CMyArray' : is not a class or namespace name

What?! The strangest thing is that I have other classes defined in the exact same way, compiling without problems.

I searched the documentation using the error code for keyword and found some vague references to this being a known bug, but I could not work out a solution from the text. Obviously, I am doing something wrong with the CMyDataClass, since I do get the exact same construction to work with other generic classes.

hi friend,

I quote the folowing from MSDN 2003, I dont know if it really works but I hope so:

I will simply tell you the answer: you must create your dialog as a child of an invisible window that has WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW set, and you must make sure your dialog has the WS_EX_APPWINDOW style turned off. If you read the documentation’s fine print, you might figure this out—but only if you use a powerful magnifying glass.

<br />
// pre-create window: set WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW style<br />
//<br />
BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)<br />
{<br />
   if (CFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs)) {<br />
      cs.dwExStyle |= WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW;<br />
      return TRUE;<br />
   }<br />
   return FALSE;<br />
}<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
<br />
// InitInstance: create dialog as child of invisible main frame<br />
//<br />
BOOL CMyApp::InitInstance()<br />
{<br />
   CMainFrame* pFrame = new CMainFrame;<br />
   m_pMainWnd = pFrame;<br />
   pFrame->LoadFrame(IDR_MAINFRAME, WS_OVERLAPPED, NULL, NULL);<br />
   CMyDlg dlg(pFrame);<br />
   int nResponse = dlg.DoModal();<br />
   if (nResponse == IDOK) {<br />
     } else if (nResponse == IDCANCEL) {<br />
   }<br />
   return FALSE;<br />
}

hope it helps Smile | :)

SDI Project-How is a Dialog Resource loaded in a Window?

I have a SDI project. When I run the project there is a resource loaded that appears in the main window that has buttons, edit boxes, list boxes, etc....the user interface. I have never really understood where in the code or when a resource is loaded so that it appears in the main window. Can someone help me with this?

Thanks.

Assuming you are talking about a CFormView app.

The resource is loaded and created in the CFormView::Create function. (viewform.cpp)

Which is called from the CMainFrame::OnCreate function via the CFrameWnd::OnCreate call.

Hello guys and gals,

First of i'm not a programmer myself so take it easy on the programming lingo Wink | ;)

But i'm confident you guys can help me with what im looking for or at least guide me in the right direction.

What i want to do:
I want to be able to read/search a specific processes allocated memory for specified data and then export it to notepad or whatever. For those of you that ever tried GameHack might understand better the thing im after.

Are there any tools you know of that can help me with this? If not do you have any other ideas on how i can achive this?

Thanks a bunch guys!

Thanks... Kinda helpfull. TSearch seems to be usefull in "automating" the feature. Meaning i can assign hotkeys to take snapshots (and hopefully export to txt format) at any given time.

Someone mentioned to me that perl maybe the best language to create the "ultimate" tool im looking for. Any comments on whether or not perl would be usefull for this?
