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?

If I have a base class pointer &
want to call the Destrutor of the dervied class.
How do i do that ?

Make ur destructor virtual and just use delete operator on base class pointer.
U can also call destructor manually using downcasting by converting base class pointer to derived class pointer.

Hi,
I've got 2 threads, one continuously uses "SendMessage" to tell main thread to perform some processing and update the GUI.
However, after running my application for anywhere between 1/2 hr to 5 hours, SendMessage will randomly get stuck.... IE: The window that's suppossed to receive the message never receives the message, and the application GUI just freezes.
Can anyone tell me if this has happened to them before, or what could possibly cause the message sent by SendMessage to not-be-received by the recepient window?
Thanks,
skyapie

Its called a deadlock and your thread synchronisation is not working correctly, SendMessage() will wait until the message has been processed before returning, you could try PostMessage() instead which will not wait but I would check your thread synchronisation first.

Secondary threads should post messages (i.e., PostMessage()) to the primary thread.

As has been said, never use SendMessage() to send messages between threads. Use PostMessage() instead. If you really need the return value from the message then you can use SendMessageTimeout().

Hello all,
did anyone wrote a CStringTable, similar to the CStringArray class from MFC? Thanks in advance.
|
|
|
|
|
Hi,
list< CSting > or list< string >
vector< CString > or vector< string >

Thanks for your quick answer but ... what you suggested me, if I understood right, is to use list<cstring> instead of MFC's CStringArray. I would like to use a CStringTable like CStringArray[nColumnCount], with the proper interface to that. Has anybody did that before, or I just start from scratch? Thanks again.
|
|

|

oh, ok, you need something like :
MFC:
CArray < CStringArray >
STL:
std::vector < std::vector< std::string > >

Hi,
my question was similar to Maximilien' question - What are you trying to achieve with this new class ? ... But now I think if you try to do something fast, secure and with pretty simple methods it would be good. Problem with CStringArray and generally with CString from MFC is, that operations on it take many many many time (I mean by processor).

What is the difference between the 2 ?
What are you trying to achieve with this new class ? that it is not MFC dependent ?

Hi.
I am using Windows xp OS and I have created an application in VC++.
When I execute it, what I see is the basic display properties of the controls. What I what is to display the controls in my application in same way as they appear on XP.
For example, check mark in check boxes appears in green color while it appears in black color in my application.
How can I achieve the XP like display of my controls?
Thanks
