Thank you!
The vtable is populated at compile time. The main app calls the virtual function through the vtable, but reads the vtabel at runtime, not compile time.
> => when I insert a virtual function or change its position, the the client will read a wrong function address instead of the original one, if it does use the vtable.
Why it doesn't work with function pointers is a little more unclear to me, but that will of course depend on how you construct and use the pointers.
> you gave the answer. When I use a class from a dll this way
MyDllClass theClass;
theClass.aVirtualFunc(); // the vtable will not be used when calling this function (right?). It's clear, to which class aVirtualFunc refers, it can be referred to by it's export name or ordinal.
But here
MyDllBaseClass * ptheClass = new(MyDllClass);
ptheClass->aVirtualFunc(); // the vtable will be used. Beware of changing the functions position in the dll without recompiling the client. The wrong function will be used
(it happened also when I used a MyDllClass * instead of MyDllBaseClass *).
or even here, I think - and less obvious -
MyDllClass theClass;
doSomethingWith(theClass);
..
void doSomethingWith(MyDllClass & refToMyClass) {.. // because there is an implicit pointer operation.
.

I think the vtable will be used regardless of whether you use . or ->, but it may be implementation-specific. In any regard, you shouldn't count on it.
As cmk wrote, you have no control of the ordinals assigned to the exported functions when you use __declspec(dllexport). So the safest option is to recompile. Anyway, if you headers doesn't change it's only relinking which is pretty fast. If your headers change you need to recompile anyway.

A dll has functions exported by ordinal, and (optionally) name.
When you create a dll you have 2 ways of exporting data/functions:
1. use an export file
Here you explicitly define the ordinal (and optionally hide the name) of the functions to be exported.
Because you control the ordinal you control any changes that occur between releases.
Usually when new functions are added you just assign them new (unused) ordinal values.
Class methods are exported using their mangled names, which makes this a tedious way of exporting class' by hand, usually you will have another program generate this file.
2. use __declspec(dllexport)
Here the compiler auto-generates the export table from all __declspec(dllexport) it finds.
You have no control over the ordinals assigned to data/functions.
I assume you are using __declspec(dllexport) statements.
What you are talking about is observing an effect and inferring a reason.
You can NOT assume your conclusions will hold for all cases - they won't.
To get the result you want you need to use an export file.

Thanks. Option 1 is tedious indeed. I have been looking for ways how to generate a def file with mangled names, they talk about using
(1) the VC++ /FAcs compiler option to get a listing
(2) the VC++ generate map file option when linking
(3) the DUMPBIN.EXE on the dll
to get the mangled names.
There is also a tool from
http://www.objmedia.demon.co.uk/freeSoftware/def32.html[^]
which creates a def file from the map file and also assigns ordinals to it. The result looks ok (but haven't yet tested compiling and linking).

How can I make the text in window titlebar in the center of titlebar, I can't find any check box in dialog properties?
|
|
|
|

There are no standard flags you can set to centre justify text in a title bar. If you need to do something like that then you will ahve to custom draw the caption yourself.
See the Custom caption article here at CP by David Lorde
If you vote me down, my score will only get lower

As far as i know there is no such method
present right now .
But can use a CString variable and then
format it according to the length of the
window.
Put this code on redraw window which will
dynamically change the caption when window
is redrawn
thank you

There is no such property  .. but you can centre your caption text simple mathematics... by providing extra space at start of your caption! or make your custom titlebar here is link for that :-

Hi,
You may perform some calculation. For example, the following
code does it:
CString str = TEXT("My Title");
CRect rcWindow;
GetWindowRect(rcWindow);
TEXTMETRIC tm;
CDC *pdc = GetDC();
CSize szCaption = pdc->GetTextExtent(str);
pdc->GetTextMetrics(&tm);
int nAveCharWidth = pdc->GetTextExtent(" ").cx;
int x = (rcWindow.Width() / 2) - (szCaption.cx / 2);
int nWhites = x / nAveCharWidth;
CString strCaption = TEXT("");
for (int j = 0; j < nWhites; j ++)
{
strCaption += TEXT(" ");
}
strCaption += str;
ReleaseDC(pdc);
// Now strCaption will be set at the center of the title bar
SetWindowText(strCaption); // or do it yourself

Hi
I have a ICopyHook handler which i register for finding deletion of folders . When the folder is moved to recycle bin . The Handler is giving only the source path and i am not able to get the destination path(i.e) the path of the recycle bin . Any idea on how to get the destination path ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I want to set the focus to a CButton control.
I'm using GetDlgItem(IDC_MY_BUTTON)->SetFocus(); but it does not work.
It works for CEdit controls but not CButtons.
How can I set the focus to a CButton control?
|
|
|
|
|
actually, yes, it set the focus, but the problem is graphical (button style pb).
but i'd ask you one more thing : do you want to set the focus on the button, or change the default button ??

You are correct, it does have focus, but does not accept the enter key.
I want to set the focus.
See the replys below
Many Thanks,
AORD

hum, it seems that what you need have been answered several ways, but at a low level...
did you try CWnd::GetDefID() ?
by using this function, the window the button is on will change its default button (it will remove the property from the last one to set it to the button you provide then). this way, you'll be able to press the "enter" key to use you button.

Well, it wont work. I have been facing similar problems, and I go down to PostMessage() level. What you probably can do is, Get the handle of the button with which you would want to deal, and then continue by posting an appropriate message. The following code snippet should help solving your problem.
<br />
HWND hButton;<br />
GetDlgItem(ID_MYBUTTON, &hButton); <br />
::PostMessage(hButton, BN_SETFOCUS, 1, 0);<br />

toxcct is right.
The button gets actually the focus. You can prove that to yourself by pressing the "space" key after you set the control to that button. You will see how it goes down and up.

|

... and to see the difference, add
PostMessage(WM_KEYDOWN, (WPARAM)VK_TAB);
in OnInitDialog()
This will start showing you the focus rectangle on your buttons.

It is not during InitDialog(), It is that he wants the button to achieve focus during run time. The fact is that It acquires focus but still is not clearly visble. My solution works, I hope.

Correct. I want the user to press enter while the focus is on an CEdit control, then I want the focus to move to a CButton control. But the CButton control does not obtain its normal focus (as it would if the user had pressed the tab key).
Yes toxcct & Mircea you are correct, the CButton does obtain a sort of focus by using GetDlgItem(IDC_MY_BUTTON)->SetFocus(); and the button is drawn incorrectly and nothing happens when the enter key is pressed (the space key works).
::PostMessage(hButton, BN_SETFOCUS, 1, 0);<br /> This works the same as GetDlgItem(IDC_MY_BUTTON)->SetFocus(); .
PostMessage(WM_KEYDOWN, (WPARAM)VK_TAB);<br /> This strange because it moves the focus backwards, that is the focus does not follow the Layout Tab order,  thats not expected. So I have changed the Tab order and now it works, but this is at odds with the tab order the user would expect 
Thanks for the help , It's not quite right, but is close.

I wrote some useful code in my class
<br />
Class CMyListCtrl:public CListCtrl<br />
And now,I want to use these code in my new class CMyListView.
Originally,I want to inherit CMyListView from CMyListCtrl.
But I found that ListView do not inherit from ListCtrl.
So how can I use my own code for CMyListView with less modification!
Thanks a lot!
Don't look at me in that way!

CListView inherites from CCtrlView and eventually from CView in order to keep the documnet/view architecture whilst using a list view within your app....
in order to use your CMyListCtrl in a CListView i suggest embedding...i.e. embedd one in an other
class CMyListView : public CView
{
protected:
CMyListCtrl* m_pMyList;
}
hope this helps

I am not understanding what is the diff b/w LUID and SID
where SID is unique to every user and present in access token.
It can also be present in DACL to control access during a logon session.
what is the purpose of LUID.
Pls help me.Thanx in advance
