You want a child window on a different UI thread than its parent?
Are you sure?
|
|
|
|

That's not really a good design. There are a lot of messages sent between parent and child windows, as part of the normal windowing system. When messages are sent between threads, it will block the sending thread and cause a context switch to the receiver, which nullifies the point of making the app multi-threaded.

Thanks, you two!
So i put only the View into a thread.
If i want to have a Frame with MultiView, i need to create each time a Thread with a View.
The Thread stores anyway the parent-Frame.
For each View i store the pointer of the view (which i get from a public Get-method of the Thread) in an array in the Frame and if i want to change
the view i make only a SetActiveView(array[selected]) ?
Big thanks !

I voted your posting a "1" for arrogance in the posting title. Why do you think your "[important]" post is any more important than all the other posts?
Apart from that little slip, it is an excellent post - the title (apart from "[important]" ) is descriptive, and the query describes your problem well.
I hope you received the help you were looking for.

First I'll apologize if this is the wrong forum, but I didn't see anything DirectX specific.
I'm making an .X file viewer. Using a rather helpful tutorial on CodeProject I've been able to play my animations, and even make transitions from one animation to the other nice and smooth. All of this using the Animation Controller. I would like to play a given animation in reverse. However, DirectX's animation controller doesn't give you any sort of interface to the animations frames.
I'm fairly new to .X files (although I've been reading a lot) so any help you guys can give will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
my problem is that I have a CDialog1(myClass1) in which I insert a propetysheet (using Picture Ctrl) in this propertysheet i add a propertyPage which generate me a CDialog2(myClass2).
I want to get variable from this CDialog and pass it to the first one because I'm sending thoses data into an access table.
I tried to get those parameters with this function
void CGeneralUser::GetParameter(CString& sStatus,CString& sgender,CString& stel,CString& smobile)
{
sStatus=m_status;
sgender=m_gender;
stel=m_tel;
smobile=m_mobile;
}
then I call this function in the first class(myClass1)
like this in boutton OK
CMyClass2 user;
user.GetParameter(sStatus1,sgender1,sTel1,smobile1);
When I write AfxMessageBox(sStatus1) for exemple the messagebox is empty I put UpdateData(TRUE); but it doesn't work
why???? thank's for your help

Please, use the code or pre tags when you post code !

What you will do here is create a new instance of your CMyClass2 class and retrieve the parameters directly. So, for sure they are still to the default value because it is another class. You have to retrieve the data of your existing class, and not create a new class.
This has nothing to do with dialogs or property pages but with how you manages your classes.

ok I tried to retreive data from my existing class so I put
in MyClass1.h : CMyClass2 m_classe2;
and I call my parameter like this m_classe.status
i should proceed like that ? 
because i had errors when running the programm 
thank's

The docs state that if you are attempting to load a 16-bit DLL directly from 32-bit code, LoadLibrary() fails. I assume the same holds true for trying to load a 32-bit DLL directly from 64-bit code.

You can't load a 32-bit DLL in a 64-bit process (or vice versa). Have you tried BeginUpdateResource()? I don't know if that works on a 32-bit DLL in a 64-bit process, but it'd be worth a shot.

I realized that my dialogs are shown in XP-look only when I am using unicode.
Although the manifest is embedded, the look is only available when I use the unicode-option within my project settings.
Is there a real dependency between manifest and unicode or is VS2005 just playing tricks on me?
Thanks in advance,
rammle

In my experience, manifests work fine in non-unicode builds
|
|
|
|

Mhm, I can also easily toogle between manifest look and "old look" by switching the unicode-option within preferences...

Hello there,
I have recently updated to internet explorer 7 from firefox. I have Internet explorer 6 beforehand.
When I called, CreateWindow with "AtlAxWin" as the class, and the location of my flash file as the title, I can load flash movies from the hard drive.. but when I try and access them from the web, I cannot anymore... I get script errors obviously from the browser component it uses.
Dos anyone know why its doing this since I updated? Is it flash 9 that came with the browser that's doing it? or what?
Many thanks,
Eddie

When you run a javascript / html document in ie from your hard drive, it displays that "Allow blocked content".
I think that's whats stopping it.
Any other info on how to get around this?

I'm trying to convert a string into a region without much luck. I have found very few examples of how to do this, but those that I have found are basically the same as my own code.
HDC hMain = GetDC(NULL);
HDC hDcBuf = CreateCompatibleDC(hMain);
BeginPath(hDcBuf);
TextOut(hDcBuf,0,0,_T("Hello"),5);
EndPath(hDcBuf);
HRGN hPath = PathToRegion(hDcBuf);
DeleteDC(hDcBuf);
ReleaseDC(NULL,hMain);
The trouble is that the PathToRegion() API always returns NULL. I'm thinking that I must do something with the DC first, but due to the lack of examples, I am unsure what. Could somebody please help me out with this?

My pleasure
If that really is your code, your DC has a very small drawing surface (1x1x1). You need to create a compatible bitmap and select it in before doing the beginpath/drawing/endpath calls, and then select it back out and delete it when you're cleaning up. I'm pretty sure that the path takes clipping into account, and the surface will be clipped by it's extent, hence a NULL path.

Selecting a bitmap into the DC doesn't have any effect. Also the example for using BeginPath() and EndPath() on MSDN doesn't use a bitmap.

You don't think I actually test some of my answers, do you ?
The MSDN sample doesn't use a bitmap because it's using a window DC, not a compatible one, so I was guessing that over-eager clipping was responsible.
"When the memory DC is created, its display surface is exactly one monochrome pixel wide and one monochrome pixel high. Before an application can use a memory DC for drawing operations, it must select a bitmap of the correct width and height into the DC. To select a bitmap into a DC, use the CreateCompatibleBitmap function, specifying the height, width, and color organization required".
Interestingly, the same documentation doesn't mention what the default font for the memory DC is, but there ought to be one.
Can't help with the OS question, since I'm XPSP2 everywhere except servers these days.

No worries. My first attempt to to use the window DC, but since that wasn't working I thought maybe it was something to do with the clipping regions I had already selecting into the DC. So I tried it out with a compatible one. But as you can guess, that didn't work either.
Regarding the DrawText() api, I might not even need to use it. It would probably be easier to use TextOut() to calc the region, then offset that region to wherever I need it. Instead of later drawing the text, I can simply fill the region.

I managed to narrow the problem down to not selecting a font into the DC before opening the path bracket. Even though the docs for TextOut() state it will use the system font. I guess it is because there is no real drawing going on. Not a big problem since I was meaning to add support for fonts anyway.
Now I have another question. MSDN gives a list of drawing functions which can be used in combination with path brackets for each OS. TextOut() and ExtTextOut() are in the list, but DrawText() is not there. Nontheless I tried it and it worked ( I'm running XP sp2 ). Does anybody know if this is supported on other OS's?
