Re: Creating borderless windows... CMFC6.0VS.NETUser13-Apr-02 21:47 CMFC6.0VS.NETUser 13-Apr-02 21:47  Thank for reply... Your reply help up to here... I changed the style param for CreateWindow() to 0. I added SetWindowLong(...,GWL_STYLE, 0); and SetWindowLong(...,GWL_EXSTYLE, 0); All that has change is I can drag window, curved ends XP titlebar and all borders are gone are gone(or transparent). The only thing is left is the titlebar is still painted and when Debuging and VS.NET is maximized and program is below it Two thing I can do... 1) I DbClick VS.NET caption and some of my program show but VS.NET UI is not erase from non-client area. 2) I click my program taskbar button and only the client area of appears on top(non-client area seems transparent). This is what I wanted along. Also I still cant get rid of that taskbar button. Any more help... Thanks... Real World Coding:      POP& BuyAPop(Money ADollar){...}; Re: Creating borderless windows...

Regards http://www.ucancode.net/ PostMessage with CString Atlantys13-Apr-02 16:44 Atlantys 13-Apr-02 16:44  I'm trying to post a meesage from one class to another, passing a CString value with the message. Currrently, I casting the CString into a LPARAM and passing that. Then in the function that receives the meesage, I'm casting the LPARAM into an LPCTSTR/CString. The LPARAM value is passed across correctly, but when I recast back to the LPCTSTR, the data is garbage. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? // posting function CString myStr = _T("some data"); LPARAM lParam = (LPARAM)myStr; ::PostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WMU_MY_MSG, 0, lParam); // receiving function LPCTSTR lp = (LPCTSTR)lParam; lp holds garbage data. Thanks! Re: PostMessage with CString Paul M Watt13-Apr-02 17:04 Paul M Watt 13-Apr-02 17:04  Is the class that you are sending the CString to in a different process? Memory is not valid across process boundaries, you will need to allocate memory using the GlobalAlloc function, then copy the data from the CString into your new buffer. If this is not the case, could you give more details as to why you are using HWND_BROADCAST.

Using HWND_BROADCAST because...uhh.... why AM i using it? I'm not sure, i think it's because it worked when i was playing around with different values. I'll try the GlobalAlloc anyways. Thanks! Re: PostMessage with CString Paul M Watt13-Apr-02 17:31 Paul M Watt 13-Apr-02 17:31  I just noticed something that I think is your problem. You are creating a CString on the stack inside of a function, then you are posting a message. The function call that all of this is happening in will exit before the posted message gets handled. When the function call exits, it destroys all of the variables that were created on the stack for that function. There are three ways to solve this: 1) Make your CString a global variable. 2) Dynamically allocate the CString class, and delete it at a later time (this could get messy though, deciding who should actually delete the string, it should not be deleted until the posted message is handled. 3) Use SendMessage instead of PostMessage. SendMessage happens instantly, and does not return until the message is handled by your target window.

I noticed the same error, then smacked myself on the head a few times because it's so simple, yet i couldn't get it to work. Yeah, i think i need more sleep Thanks for all your help too. Re: PostMessage with CString Alexandru Savescu14-Apr-02 0:32 Alexandru Savescu 14-Apr-02 0:32  You got it! The CString object must be created on the heap and deleted by the other thread that receives the message in the message handler. Read Using Worker Threads. It describes this mechanism in detail. Best regards, Alexandru Savescu HWND_BROADCAST Paul M Watt13-Apr-02 17:35 Paul M Watt 13-Apr-02 17:35  By the way, HWND_BROADCAST is OK to use, but it will send this message to every top level window currently on the system. Therefore it may cause problems if the user is running more than one instance of your application and the second instance tries to handle this message. Also it will use more processing power each time this message is used. Maybe not enough to matter though. It would be better for you to see if there is a way to get a handle to the window that you are interested in receiving the message. Checkout my Guide to Win32 Paint for Intermediates Re: HWND_BROADCAST Atlantys13-Apr-02 19:16 Atlantys 13-Apr-02 19:16  When i wasn't using HWND_BROADCAST, then the receiving function never receiving the message. I'm sure using HWND_BROADCAST is overkill, but it's the only way i could find (right now) to make sure the receiving function gets the message, especially since the sender function doesn't have the handle to the window that receives the message. VS.Net Components Frank Deo13-Apr-02 14:04 Frank Deo 13-Apr-02 14:04  Hello People... In VC 6 there was a way to bring up a dialog of all available insertable components, ie Splash Screens, Property Sheets, etc. Is there an equivelant in VS.Net? Thank you People.

OnReceive not being triggered in CSocket Adam Clauss13-Apr-02 7:45 Adam Clauss 13-Apr-02 7:45  I have socket listening on a port. Using telnet, I connect to the socket, it then accepts the connection to a 'client' socket. In the client socket's class (derived from CSocket), I have the OnReceive function overriden to post a message back to the main dialog window whenever I can read from it. Now, when I type something in my telnet window and hit enter, shouldn't that 'send' it to the socket to receive? But it doesn't ever get called. I set a breakpoint and debugged it. Just acts like nothing is ever sent to the socket from my telnet. I can send FROM the socket and the text will be displayed correctly on the telnet window... This was tested on Windows XP if it makes a difference. The server I am writing is a POP3 server. So, just to test that telnet wasn't just wacko, I also had Outlook Express connect. It received my intial welcome message, but I never receive OE's command. Any ideas?
