I thoght I remembered a 'beautify' command to align your code right in VC6. I can't find it in VC7 (.Net 2003), does anyone know if this is still possible?

yeah, I think in VC6 you can go to the 'help' item on the menu and go to 'keyboard map' or something like that, and view all the hotkeys set up for the IDE.

English App on Japanese OS

Hey,

I am looking for a solution to an eternal problem. We get complaints that our software does not look good in English when running on a Japanese OS.

Most of the problems revolve around the wizards and property pages not sizing correctly. This is because I cannot find a way for the MS PropertySheet and PropertyPage to use a more English favorable font.

Does anyone know a way to force the MS controls to use the current dialogs font and sizing and ignore the OS specifications? I should say and do this without affecting the users OS in a deterimental way. I don't want to change things on the OS out from under a user obviously.

Just as a side note, the applications are not MFC but Win32 API.

Thanks,
Brian

Are you concerned about just the appearance, or about how DBCS characters appear in your UI, or about handling DBCS strings in general? From your description it sounds like #2, but have you even tested #3? If not, #2 is the least of your troubles.

The quick answer for fixing #2 is to make these changes in all your dialog resources:

Use MS Shell Dlg instead of MS Sans Serif as the font
Change all DIALOG resources to DIALOGEX
Add the DS_FIXEDSYS dialog style

Thanks I will try that...

Not worried about handling DBCS strings. We build our software in all UNICODE, with a few exceptions where the interfaces call for DBCS. Then we worry but I have a good handle on that.

I also wrote a quick application to allow me to actually psudeo translate all the resources and insert DBCS characters in preparation for actually localizing the software.

The only thing I couldn't figure out was why the property pages and the wizards would always truncate the English version of the dialog boxes when running on a Japanese OS. The strings which would normally be wide enough on an English wizard would be too wide for the Japanese wizard. If I expand the size of the English dialog resources without expanding the controls, then they would fit. However this made it look bad in English.

I think this solution will help and I will try it.

Thanks,
Brian

FileMonitor control re-write problem

Member 161494921-Jan-05 5:05

Member 1614949

21-Jan-05 5:05

I've re-written Franky Braem's Filemonitor control using ReadDirectoryChangesW to return the full paths only of files ADDED to a particular directory . It apparently seems to work, but I noticed that when I use the control in other applications (in this case one written in VB6) to report multiple simultaneous files added to any subdirectory of a given directory, the control randomly duplicates the full filename of a notification in other notifications, that is, if I add files A, B, C, D and E to a directory at the same time, the control might report that I've added files C, B, C, D and D (the number of notifications is correct, but the returned values quite frequently aren't.)

I've made no changes to the interface, but needed to declare a global handle to the completion port and a global buffer to hold the directory info which I needed to share between the methods of the control and the thread created to wait on the notifications.

What could be wrong here?! Please help...

What do you mean, converting a window derived class to a handler ?!?

Maybe you want to get a handler to the window? That's already available in m_hWnd!

You can't "convert" a CDialog to a HWND, but you can access it's window handle by calling GetSafeHwnd().

I used unix g++ to compile a lapack library, the result library is in .a extension.
Could I use it in window VC++?

No. The format of a Windows .lib is not the same as a .a. (Neither is a .dll the same as a .so).

Setting Background Colour of a text

Pazzuzu21-Jan-05 4:14

21-Jan-05 4:14

Hi Guys,

Iam working on Vc++, & came across a problem.Hope someone could help!.

Iam Using device Context for diplaying things to the view.

Initially,I write a "text" to the view using "TextOut" method - See Code:

& Then using the "BRUSH" object to fill the rectangle with that colour,using "FillRect" method.Now the "text" which was displayed in the same postion before is not Visible anymore .

My need ,is after writing a "Text" to the view & filling the rectangle containing the text with a colour,want the underlying "text" to be visible(which is not the case now).

Ofcourse,I know that If I set the BackgroundColour atfirst & then write the "text" to the screen,then the "text" will be visible.

But I would not be able to do so co's of some restrictions in my Project...

I want the text "Shading test" to be displayed with the blue background colour.Constraint being,I can't Fill the rectangle with the colour & then draw the text.....

Would be nice if someone could suggest something to do in this regard with respect to the code below.

Thanks......

pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(rect);
rect.SetRect(0,0,800,800);
pDC->Rectangle(CRect(0,0,800,800));

SIZE size;
size.cx = 1000;
size.cy = 1000;
SetScrollSizes(MM_TEXT,size);

pDC->TextOut(50,20,"Shading Test");

CRect rect1;
rect1.SetRect(10,10,300,100);
pDC->Rectangle(CRect(10,10,300,100));
CBrush brushBlue(RGB(240,248,255));
CBrush* pOldBrush = pDC->SelectObject(&brushBlue);
pDC->FillRect(rect1,&brushBlue);

I suggest that you rework your code so that you can fill the background before writing the text out!

   char cc[MAX_PATH];
   bi.hwndOwner=m_hWnd;
   bi.pidlRoot=0;

   LPITEMIDLIST p;
   p=SHBrowseForFolder(&bi);

   if(!p)
      return;

   SHGetPathFromIDList(p,cc);

   SetDlgItemText(IDC_E_PATH,cc);

Thank you for the help

I wasnt doing this
bi.pidlRoot=0;
hence the crash .

Another question

using LPITEMIDLIST p how do I get the FilePath ?

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