I'm not sure if I'm answering your question. I guess you might want what Weiye Chen suggested and create an application that uses a timer to run something every 2 hours.

To start this first app, put the path in the registry key mentioned earlier. you can set this key using your .msi or whatever installation technique you use when distributing you apps.

Good day.

im making a scrolling text class and what i cant figure out is
::SetWindowPos(m_move.GetSafeHwnd(), wndTop, count, 15, (m_Stext.GetLength() * 6), 13, SWP_NOZORDER); i cant figure out how to get the handle for the control variable of the static text like m_move.GetSafeHwnd() and make it work in my class any and all help is needed. cuz im Confused | :confused:

and i need to know how to find out how long the text is thats scrolling right now i use (m_Stext.GetLength() * 6) but the longer the text it the more extra space it adds at the end.

Your static control cannot have the id IDC_STATIC. Change that to whatever other value.

In the CDC class there is a GetTextExtent() metod you can use. To get the dc: CClientDC dc(this); and then dc.GetTextExtent(..)

I am wondering, if I use String.Substring does it extracts a portion of a string? Basicly, does visual C++ is supportString.Substring. I know we can use String::Substring but I am not sure about String.Substring . Does any one know?

Hi all,
i'm doing some test with VS2005 and I'm wondering if there's any control or view that permits to create a dialog with the look and feel like the windows explorer. I mean the left side blue menu that it's like (or it's) DHTML. I don't know if the only way to do that is with the CHtmlView / CHtmlCtrl but maybe the .Net has a control to do that.

Best,
Marc Soleda

Driver development is complex and totally different to writing a user mode application. I suggest you get a good text book and start reading.

Method overloading

Could someone tell me how to write a method overloading?

Thanks

Here's an example:

void SetRect(CRect& rect);<br />
void SetRect(int top, int left, int bottom, int right);<br />

Adding this:

void SetRect(int top, int left, int width, int height);<br />

would be invalid, because a method with (int, int, int, int) already exists above.

Does that help at all?

Re: Method overloading

Moujan2-Jul-06 7:05

Moujan

2-Jul-06 7:05

Thanks, but I am still confuse. You mean I should only use the first line:

void SetRect(CRect& rect); and I can exclude the second line.

Could this be an example overloading:

int foo1(int number);
int foo2(int number);

if is not, how can I make it to be a method overloading type?

Moujan

Re: Method overloading

Steve Echols2-Jul-06 7:48

Steve Echols

In my example, I overloaded the SetRect function to accept different types of parameters, but both methods accomplishes the same thing.

So you could use either method, depending on what you need to do.

CRect rc(10, 10, 100, 50);<br />
SetRect(rc);<br />
<br />
- or -<br />
<br />
SetRect(10, 10, 100, 50);

In your example, it is not overloading, since the function names are different (foo1 and foo2)

An example of overloading using your methods would be:

int foo1(int number);<br />
int foo1(float number);<br />

Another note: you CANNOT change the type of the return value.

int foo1(int number);<br />
float foo1(int number);  // INVALID!<br />

In the example that I wrote and you correct it to:

int foo1(int number);
int foo1(float number);

If I want to keep the number 1 and number 2 instead of float number that you wrote can I write the its over loading method this wasy:

int foo(int number);
int foo(intnumber1, int number);

No, he was saying that you can't have two overloads with identical parameter lists.

Yes, but be careful with default argument. The following does NOT work:

int foo(int number); 
int foo(int number1, int number = 0);

Basically, any ambiguity the compiler cannot resolve will not work.

Using OpenProcess

Hi guys,

I am trying to use openprocess however I am running into a few problems. Specifically for the last parameter of the function OpenProcess, I am wondering how would I retreive the process id using hwnd retrieved from FindWindow? I have tried GetProcessId however that doesnt seem to work. I get a compiler error saying that its an undeclared identifier. However I have included windows.h so there should not be any problems. Would anyone know how to get the process id of a window handle?

Thanks,

Robbie

First note that GetProcessId requires at least Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.

Call GetWindowThreadProcessId and OpenProcess:

DWORD dwProcessID = 0;
::GetWindowThreadProcessId(hWnd, &dwProcessID);
HANDLE hProcess = ::OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION,
                                FALSE,
                                dwProcessID);
if(NULL != hProcess)
{
   // enjoy of hProcess;
   // ...
   ::CloseHandle(hProcess);
}
else
{
   // ... oups, error!
   DWORD dwError = ::GetLastError();
   // ...
}
