This is driving me crazy  , wonder if anyone can help.
I'm am having some serious problems with GetMenuItemInfo and
SetItemInfo using WTL, but only with the dwItemData memeber, everything else seems to work
fine...
Let's say in OnCreate I try to add some data to the ID_FILE_NEW Menu
Item like so: lets make it a simple DWORD instead of a pointer just to keep things
clear...
CMenuItemInfo mii;
CMenuHandle menu = m_CmdBar.GetMenu();
CMenuHandle submenu = menu.GetSubMenu(0);
mii.fMask = MIIM_DATA | MIIM_ID;
mii.dwItemData = 1001;
mii.wID = ID_FILE_NEW;
if( submenu.SetMenuItemInfo(ID_FILE_NEW,FALSE,&mii) == 0 )
{
// Little helper function
ShowLastError();
}
Then when I the user selects the menu item in OnFileNew, I do this:
CMenuItemInfo mii;
CMenuHandle menu = m_CmdBar.GetMenu();
CMenuHandle submenu = menu.GetSubMenu(0);
mii.fMask = MIIM_DATA;
// I could actually use wID here passed in but I want to test
// the the specific menu item at the moment
if( submenu.GetMenuItemInfo(ID_FILE_NEW,FALSE,&mii) == 0 )
{
// Little helper function
ShowLastError();
}
DWORD dwTestData = mii.dwItemData;
dwTestData is always '0' no matter what I try to set it to.. I can
retrieve the Menu item text and print it out so I know I'm dealing
with the right menu item... I don't know if I am going wrong with
setting the data or retrieving it... It is really driving me nuts,
I feel like I am missing something very obvious here.
Thanks,
Scott

SetMenuItemInfo
The SetMenuItemInfo function changes information about a menu item.
Remarks
The application must call the DrawMenuBar function whenever a menu changes, whether or not the menu is in a displayed window.
Not sure if that will make a diff or not.

I got a really good reponse on this from the WTL group on Yahoo... It seems that the command bar class is causing the problem... It uses the data item to store drawing information, so I can either use a plain menu or extend the command bar class and use something like a STL map to store my data.. thanks for the reponse..

Does anyone know how I can program in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 in 16-bit for DOS? Thanks

I am just curious why?
I think (not sure) that I saw a 16-bit SDK on MSDN.

I dont think VC++ 6.0 can output 16 bit executables.
You might want to try alternatives like Turbo C++ for DOS
Or try and get an older version of VC++ that also came with the 16 bit model. Maybe 1.5.

I want to work with the HotKey Control in dialog .
And i'm interesting in the follows feature :
- how to store entered values ?
- how to put them into dialog (how-to put into dialog combination "Alt+Control+ A", for example, - at least with the simple letter presentation i have not find solution - how ?) ?
Also i'm interesting : I need all the time to convert manually VK_F8, MOD_WIN, .. etc. values into the codes (for storage) and vice versa, or exist much more wise solution ?
thank you

How do you go about dealing with a situation when the "lpDialogTemplate" variable in the parent's DoModal (i.e. Dialog::DoModal()) is null, when you are trying creating and calling a dialog's DoModal?
According to the comments in the CDialog code, it means that it failed to load the dialog template resource. But how would this happen? under what circumstances would you get this?

I guess if you accidentally rename or corrupt the dialog resource this would happen.

Hi,
I have some code like this:
-----------------------------
void CMyClass::SetIconText(HWND desktopLV)
{
LVITEM lvItem;
::ZeroMemory(lvItem, sizeof(LVITEM));
lvItem.mask = LVIF_TEXT;
lvItem.iItem = 0;
lvItem.lvItem.pszText = "Tralala";
lvItem.cchTextMax = 16;
::SendMessage(desktopLV, LVM_SETITEMTEXT, (int)(WPARAM)0, (LPARAM)(LPLVITEM)&lvItem);
-----------------------------
So, for test purposes, I'm trying to change the text of the first icon on my desktop. (The HWND is okay, since I can use other messages like LVM_SETTEXTCOLOR, etc.).
The problem is, that when the code gets executed, the program crashes...but I can't see the reason, since I believe I did everything okay (obiously, I didn't...  .
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

That will never work because the desktop window belongs to another process. The string is in your app's process space, which Explorer cannot access. You cannot pass pointers between processes without using shared memory.

the msdn inof on it is here http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/termserv/tsref_8d66.asp
now I try and call that function, the first parameter it takes is
hWnd
[in] Handle of the window to receive session change notifications.
What handle is that? I tried making a class of CMyProg and putting it there but I get some external error that says
traytest2Dlg.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WTSRegisterSessionNotification@8
Debug/traytest2.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
I don't know if it has to do with the parameter i'm passing or not. Any help is very appreciated

This routine works by sending a window message to the window you specify. So if you have a main frame window, you can say something like pMainFrm ->GetSafeWnd (). (It has been a while since I did MFC, so this might be slightly wrong.)
If you don't have a window, you will have to create one.
As far as the link error goes, you need to link to wtsapi32.lib.
Word of warning: This routine is only supported on XP. So if you don't use runtime late binding, your program won't even start on 9x/ME/NT/2000 systems.

is pMainFrm something like CTrayTestDlg?
|
|
|
|
|
how do I link to it I keeo getting that same error, I included the microsoft sdk\lib into the directories under library files
|
|
|
|
|
n/m I got it I had to actually add it to the project
|
|
|
|

You can link to it without adding it to the project by using Project Settings (alt+f7) - but if you do it either this way, or the way that you have used, you will have linked at compile-time, meaning your program will only work on Windows XP.

How can i clean the RS 422 input buffer????
i want to start running in a specific time and ignore all the data that is
already been stored in the RS 422 buffer.
How can i do that???
Thanks

PurgeComm
It has been a while since I worked with 422, but if you are concerned about receiving the output in the input, I would still code for ignoring any message you sent out. WIN32 just doesn't give you enough control to know when a message has been fully sent out of the comm port. You only know when output buffer is empty. There still could be characters waiting on the FIFO.
But, if you are just looking to kill any characters in the input buffer, PurgeComm works great.

hi, i would like to do something like that:
the website targeted use PHP to login with a username and a password.
and then, some menu is shown, (all using .php or .php3 extension for viewing pages.)
the fact is, if i do not log with my user/password within internet explorer, i can't even retrieve files i want using internet explorer.
but, even after logging in, and when i am able to download any file ending with .php3?someparam=somevalue&another=anothervalue etc...
when i use a offlinebrowser application to save all pages i want, the external application finally download a page which says i'm not logged on. although i can still download that page opening an internet explorer windows... (and setting the offline browser 'spider' to identify itself as IE doesn't solve the problem.)
so i have figured out that i need something, which will log in using a specified username/password, and then, will download all files linked from a single url. (and that need to work with either .php or .php3?x=1&pass=2 files...)
how can i do that?

Hi.
I would like to know how to determine when the user presses, say, 'z' *while* holding down one of the virtual keys, say Ctrl.
For example
// Ctrl + Z
I can use either OnKeyDown(...) and/or OnChar(...) to determine *either* Ctrl or z, but not both.
I am trying to implement an "undo" feature.
Thanks,
Kuphryn
