Hi,
Some time ago I wrote similiar DMS for some company, but my idea is slightly different than yours.
Instead of passing document directly to the application which is associated as default, you could create another file as temporary with additional parameters (temporary, remove on file close, share read/write), copy content of original file to it, open the file with associated app (don't close its handle).
Pros:
- original file doesn't need to be locked,
- you can track changes,
- you can let user decide wheter the original file should be updated or not,
- you don't have to care about temporary file, unless user closes it,
- you can monitor changes made to that file, by using handle to it.
Cons:
- a bit more code to write, than in simple handle checking 
As for your way, there's a nice tool you can use: Sysinternals - Handle (by dumping its output to your redirected standard output).
Regards

In windows exporer if I open a file say "text.doc" present in "C:\office docs" folder. Now when performing operation lre renaming,moving or deleing that folder in windows will return error.
Can If a folder in windows file systemis locked befor performing these operation programmatically.
Can some one suggest some shell API or SDK function to do the job

Have a look at the CFile::Open() method. If it returns zero, then the pError parameter in it will have a description of the error.

The folder is not locked. It is file which is locked as opened and sanity checks for move,delete operations returns failure, because some/one file cannot be removed. What system really does when you order it to move folder, is to copy & delete every single file in folder, and when error occurs (like when file is opened), an error message is displayed, but folder is never being locked.

Hi All,
I have a class derived from CFormView.
I have to show ToolTip for some buttons for the view drived from CFormView.
I have done the below steps but, the tool tip is not showing...
Say m_ToolTip is an object for CToolTipCtrl,
In OnInitialUpdate()
m_ToolTip.Create(this);
m_ToolTip.Activate(TRUE);
CRECT rect(1, 1, 1, 1);
m_ToolTip.AddTool(this, "My Tool Tip", &rect, BTN_ID);
In OnSize()
m_ToolTip.SetToolRect(this, BTN_ID, &newRect);
In PreTranslateMessage()
if (pMSg->Message == )
m_ToolTip.RelayEvent(pMSG);
Is there any thing to do more.. or i'm wrong in some where...

AFAIK, you forgot to handle notifications (WN_NOTIFY) for the parent window of every control you have handle assigned to.

For this interface I am trying to add one more function by name getdate() which of return Char* .. can any one please help how to declare the getdate() function in interface ???
Below are declaration and files with there names ….
// File interface.h
// This file contains interface related declarations.

I am programming a MFC project using Visual C++. I encountered a problem with the following code snippet.
The code snippet could be compiled successfully.However, an error occurred when running the line
<br />
free(SampleDocName); <br />
in the following code snippet, free(SampleDocName) causes error if the line
<br />
SampleDocName[ SampleDocNam_Len ] = '\0';<br />
is not used.
<br />
char * SampleDocName;<br />
int SampleDocNam_Len = m_EDITBOX_ExampleText.LineLength(0);<br />
SampleDocName = (char *) malloc(sizeof(char) * (SampleDocNam_Len+ 1 ) );<br />
m_EDITBOX_ExampleText.GetLine(0, SampleDocName );<br />
<br />
SampleDocName[ SampleDocNam_Len ] = '\0';
<br />
<br />
free(SampleDocName); <br />
I do not why. Please help me.

Why are you using malloc() and free() in C++ code, you should be using new and delete. Also why use the call to sizeof(char) in you malloc() call? This is pointless as the size will always be a constant 1.
Check the value of your SampleDocNam_Len and make sure no stupid values are being passed into malloc(), also make sure you are not writing past the end of the array.

I think you should use
GetLine( 0, SampleDocName, SampleDocNam_Len );
instead of
GetLine( 0, SampleDocName);
since for the latter you need to pass the line lenght on the first word of the buffer (MSDN):
lpszBuffer
Points to the buffer that receives a copy of the line. The first word of
the buffer must specify the maximum number of bytes that can be copied
to the buffer.
Also will be nicer if you use the C++ allocation pair new/delete
(you are free to use free of course, but as matter of style...).

Hi, do you guys know how to set(change) the short file name of a specific file inside visual c++? Is there any API doing that?
Thanks!
|
|
|
|
|
The short file name of a long named file is the first six chars, a ~ and a number, starting with 1 ( depending on how many have those 6 chars ). Not sure if it goes to 5 chars for > 9 files.
You can't set it AFAIK

I think you actually cannot.

|
|

If you're on XP+ and the file is on an NTFS volume, you can use SetFileShortName().

Can someone give me a real, WORKING - example(code) of how to "CreateDirectory" , "CopyFile" and "ChangeDirectory" in MFC.
I know how to use these "verbs/tokens" in non-MFC programs, but they aren't available to you in MFC; because you can't "#include <window.h>" in MFC.
So how do you do the same things in MFC. Example code PLEASE!

windows.h is very much included in MFC.
Here's a working sample
::CreateDirectory(_T("C:\\TESTTEST"), NULL);
HANDLE hFile = ::CreateFile(_T("C:\\TESTTEST\\test.tst"), GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, CREATE_NEW, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);
::CloseHandle(hFile);
::CopyFile(_T("C:\\TESTTEST\\test.tst"), _T("C:\\test.tst"), TRUE);
::SetCurrentDirectory(_T("C:\\TESTTEST"));

Not true. MFC is a wrapper on Win32, you call any Win32 API you like. Sounds like you have another problem ?

Apparently <windows.h> is already included by MFC headers (AFXV_W32.H).

Thanks. Everyday I learn and learn and learn; but sometimes I forget what I learned.
I never realized that windows.h was included in MFC, so dumb me tried to do everything I wanted to do without using any API functions. You've just made my programming life much, much simpler,
Again thanks.

Hi all,
in my application (MFC MDI Document/View) I use a datagrid and a chart control, each of them in a static splitter pane. Now, I want to provide a different view on my data and therefor I want to open a new child with a "different" view class (derived from CFormView) while the first view is still open. The menu which is displayed should depend on the View which is currently active.
Can anybody give me a hint and show me the pitfalls?
Thank you,
Frank.

Hi All,
This seems such a simple problem, I am embarrassed to ask for help, but I just can't seem to get the syntax correct for the CopyFile command. My application builds a vector of CStrings containing commands in format Copyfile( "source file", "dest file", FALSE ), using double quotes around the file specifications in case there are embedded spaces. The following is one of the commands:
CopyFile( "C:\Documents and Settings\rfickling\My Documents\Expense Report Form.xls", "Expense Report Form.xls", FALSE );
All of these commands fail with an error code of 123, which indicates invalid call syntax. What is wrong here? Can anyone help me with this dumb little problem?
Thanks,
Royce

Don't you escape slashes?

Yes, in the CString.Format() method call you do:
CString str;<br />
str.Format( "C:\\Documents and Settings\\rfickling\\My Documents\\Expense Report Form.xls" );
I am actually formatting these file specs into CString variables so that it looks like the following:
strSrc = "C:\Documents and Settings\rfickling\My Documents\Expense Report Form.xls"; <br />
strDst = "Expense Report Form.xls"<br />
So the command in C++ syntax is:
CopyFile( strSrc, strDst, FALSE );
This should work, but I get a 123 error.
