(1) You can use WM_CTLCOLOR or WM_PAINT
(2) Hope I understood your question See CWnd::DoModal()
(3)for set position from a window see SetWindowPos(..) or MoveWindow(...)
I hope its helful for you

I need to send a CString into a parameter that is of LPVOID type. I've tried:
CString stuff = _T("...");
LPVOID info = stuff.GetBuffer();
foo ( info );
stuff.ReleaseBuffer();
but the data is lost. How should I go about doing this?

Try:
foo((LPVOID) ((LPCTSTR) stuff));

I tried that too, same thing. What I am trying to do is send form data to the wininet SendRequest(LPCTSTR, DWORD, LPVOID, DWORD) function. the LPVOID parameter is the POST data that you send with a HTTP Post header.

what does work is something like this:
CString header = _T("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
CString m_data = _T("target=wininet");
char data[] = "target=wininet";
LPVOID postdata=data;
pFile->SendRequest(header, header.GetLength(), stuff, mdata.GetLength)
basically i'm sending to the URL www.codeproject.com the data to the search form on the main page. The code above will return an html file with the search results.
The calls to SendRequest() with the double cast and the call to GetBuffer() both return html files that have no search results. I'm inferring from this that no post data got sent.

The problem is that I can't set the char data[] in the last example. I have a CString variable that has the POST data in it, however I can't get the data in CString because it returns a const char*, and I can't set that to the char data[]. I also have no idea what the post data will be, and thus can't hard code it as I did in the working example.
That was me hard coding my test. In the release it can't be hard coded.
Is there a way I could effectively do this:
CString m_data = _T("...");
char data[];
data = m_data.GetBuffer();

If data actually had a size associated with it:
char data[100];
strcpy(data, m_data); Or:
const char *data = m_data;

I finally got it to work.
So the CString::GetBuffer() returns a const wchar_t* not a const char*, I was mistaken. Howerver I could still use the method you suggested:
const wchar_t* data= m_data.GetBuffer();
If I send that into the SendRequest function the wide char data is lost or not converted or something. So I had to convert it to a char*:
const wchar_t* data= m_data.GetBuffer();
m_data.ReleaseBuffer();
char* Cdata;
Cdata = new char[m_data.GetLength()+1];
size_t num=m_data.GetLength();
wcstombs_s(&num, Cdata, num+1, data, num);
LPVOID postdata=Cdata;
This seems sloppy to me, but it gives the correct output when I use postdata in the SendRequest function. Thanks for all your help!

Did you read the response from 2 hours ago?

Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't respond.
the strcpy doesn't take a CString varriable. I could have used GetBuffer on it, but I would probably would have had to conver the returned wchar_t to a char like I ended up doing. My real issue evidently was with sending the SendRequest function a wchar_t* instead of a char*.
Thanks for your input, and again I am sorry I didn't respond.

It does because CString has an explicit LPCTSTR operator to do the casting. The problem is actually that you have UNICODE enabled (apparently), in which case you need to convert it from wchar_t to char* first. Alternatively, you could pass the data in UNICODE format, but you would need to pass the size as double the length of the string and specify that you are using UTF-16 as your text format in your HTTP headers.

Your signature is true to life. I'll be sure to know if I am using UNICODE from now on, and I'll be more careful with my headers. Thanks again for your input.

You will probably need to do this:
CString strPostData = _T("Some POST Data");<br />
char buffer[100] = {0};<br />
strcpy(buffer, strPostData);<br />
pHttpFile->SendRequest("POST", dwSomeDword, (LPVOID)buffer, strlen(buffer) + 1);
LPVOID is defined as void*. Using the LPCTSTR operator for CString will return you a const char* (when UNICODE is not defined). The const keyword is the main thing you should be worried about there. The fact that SendRequest does not ask for a const void* indicates that it may try to write to that buffer, which would cause problems if you tried to pass in the CString object itself.

Are you trying to pass this to another function in the same thread or to another thread?

Hey guys,
I was wondering if we use iostream.h in visual studio 2005.
I tried including iostream.h but it says file cannot be found.
It's strange how iostream.h is not used in Visual Studio 2005
Are we suppose to have iostream.h in visual studio 2005
or do we use iostream.... using namespace std;
thanks

iostream.h is the old implementation (from before the standard was formalized). It was left in the old versions of the IDE for backwards compatibility only. You should be using iostream (the same goes for vector, list, map, string, etc.)

Hi,
I've written an own FindDlg. It's derived from CDialog and just provides an own SelectionList. It crashes anywhere between CFindDlg::EndDialog(IDOK) and the calling Method. - Ain't nice but happens.
But the prog crashes only while executing release-build. Running debug-release don't crash.  (Memory-Exeption during read...)
So how can I fix my prog, that it runs also within release-build. Or how can I find my bug? - I don't have any Idea?
Thanks && Greets,
Horst
Calling Method ==>
CFindDlg dlgFind;<br />
<br />
dlgFind.SetTreeRef(m_pobjCurrentTree);<br />
dlgFind.DoModal();<br />
MessageBox("You won't see me....");<br />
<br />
if ( ! dlgFind.GetFoundItem().IsEmpty() ) { <br />
LVFINDINFO SearchPattern;<br />
<br />
SelectTreeItem(dlgFind.GetFoundItem());<br />
<br />
SearchPattern.flags = LVFI_STRING;<br />
SearchPattern.psz = dlgFind.GetFoundItem();<br />
<br />
m_ctrlElement.SetItemState(m_ctrlElement.FindItem(&SearchPattern), LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_SELECTED);<br />
m_ctrlElement.SetFocus();<br />
}<br /><== Calling Method
OnOK ==>
void CFindDlg::OnOK() {<br />
int iSelectedSOC;<br />
POSITION pListSelection = m_ctrlFoundItem.GetFirstSelectedItemPosition();<br />
<br />
iSelectedSOC = pListSelection == NULL ? -1 : m_ctrlFoundItem.GetNextSelectedItem(pListSelection);<br />
m_sFoundItem = iSelectedSOC == -1 ? "" : m_ctrlFoundItem.GetItemText(iSelectedSOC, 0);<br />
<br />
MessageBox("This will be the last you will see before abort...");<br />
EndDialog(IDOK);<br />
}<br /><== OnOK

This looks suspicious. Are you doing anything with m_pMainWnd?

}
Have you tried calling CDialog::OnOK() instead of EndDialog?
Check to make sure you don't have a stack limitation set in your release build settings.
You say you are getting a memory exception during your read operation in the debug build, correct?
