Why CMainFrame? Where to put the static ctrl? Note that main frame consists of the a title bar, menu bar, tool bar and status bar. And the remaining part is the view (CView derived). So, where to put the control?

I mean I have SDI frame window and I would like to put up a static area on the this frame I guess I don't need the control for the static text area where i only use to put my text strings for user to see. How can I do it in MFC? or better how can i use CSplitter class to split this SDI frame to multiple area?

I'm trying to play wav files. I've successfully played the registered windows sounds (SystemAsterisk, SystemExit, etc.) using PlaySound() with the SND_ALIAS flag. However, I want to access the Explorer sounds (particularly the Start Navigating "Click" sound). Does anyone know how this is supposed to be done?

I think you need to read the registry to get the actual filename associated with the event, then pass the filename to PlaySound. For Start Navigating it's HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\Navigating\.current.

Thanks.
I've tried this, but I can't seem to read the key properly. I can't seem to read the (Default) value properly. I can read any other key, it seems, but not this one. Currently, I pass NULL and "(Default)" as the values into RegQueryValueEx(), but both return ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER. I tried opening the "AppEvents\\Schemes\\Apps\\Explorer\\Navigating" key, and then querying the ".Current" value and that didn't work either. I've looked all over trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Can you please advise? Thanks.

Try passing the empty string "" as the name of the value. That's what I've always used.

Thanks. It turns out my problem was something else - I wasn't passing in the pointer-to-size required as part of the last parameter. I thought I could ignore it since I didn't need it. However, the API requires it unless the data variable is also NULL. It still made me look for my problem elsewhere. Thanks for you help.

Hello,
My question is about resizing a child window of a multi document /view application.
If the view displays a big Bitmap and I try to resize it by dragging it with the mouse, the latter is very slow and shows border effects.
So my idea is for example to mouse click on one of the side of the window and while I move the mouse, the window does not resize.
Actually it will resize just after I release the mouse button. The new position will be where I released the mouse. Please note that it is just an idea and any suggestion is very welcome.
I tried to find some articles before posting my question here but I was not successful.
Please could you recommend me a solution or articles explaining how to solve this problem?
I have no specific code to show. I just visited the functions OnCreate, OnInitialUpdate,Onsize, OnDraw and OnEraseBkgnd (this last fct is to avoid flickering).
Many thanks for your answers.

I'd say you need to implement some kind of clipping so you're not drawing the whole bitmap each time, just the portion which is visible. How are you displaying your bitmap? BitBlt?

Can someone tell me what function can I use to read an Xml file, from an window form?
Thanks!

Have you tried TinyXML?

I think it might help to know exactly what you need to do with the XML file after loading it. Do you need to parse it and extract data, add/modify data to it, or simply render (display) it in some way?
Also, you mention "window form", which is damn close to "windows forms", which sounds .NET-ish. If you are asking how to do this on the .NET platform, I suggest asking with more details in a .NET-specific forum (like the C# forum).
Peace!

I need to extract data from the Xml file.
|
|
|
|

If you are using .NET and C++/CLI, you can use the System.Xml namespace to access classes such as XmlDocument and XmlReader to extract XML from a file. If you are using "native" Visual C++, you can use MSXML or XmlLite from Microsoft. Except for XmlLite, there are a lot of articles on Code Project and other sites (Can you Google?). XmlLite is new but their is an article about this or last month's MSDN Magazine. Example code for MSXML is not very plentiful also.

Actually, the C++/CLI forum might be what this poster wants.

For reading XML file, you need a parser (for eg. MSXML). Get MSXML download from Microsoft.

Hey code mercenaries,
I'm new to MFC, but I've been hired to update a
Visual C++/MFC application. Mostly going pretty
well, but it wouldn't be any fun if there weren't
at least a few hickups, right?
Basically the application that I am working on is
a quasi complicated app with about a thousand
classes or so, which uses numerous pages/tabs/views/lists
to display some database info.
I am adding a new SQL query class to a payment
calculator class so i can do some new calcs on the
db info.
This is causing a Heap Error:
/////
HEAP CORRUPTION DETECTED: after client block (#4531) at 0x015E51B0. CRT detected that the application wrote to
memory after end of the heap buffer.
/////
The error occurs when I am closing the application,
but I have tracked the source down to the following
line of code:
////
CSetspIsAttachedAuthValid* m_pSetspIsAttachedAuthValid2; ////
Basically the error occurs when this line is inserted
into the code, and does not occur when it is commented
out, regardless of whether I actually use this member
or not in any way. Just adding the above line to the
header file causes the heap error, which occurs on
close of the application.
What could possibly be causing this? Is there some reason
why I can't add a member to an existing class in this
application with out causing an error? i have added
other members to this same class with out trouble.
HUGE thanks - Jason

You've probably exposed an existing problem.
Is the block number always #4531?

Which means you've moved memory around just enough to expose an existing problem. What happens if you insert some other type of pointer (in place of CSetspIsAttachedAuthValid), or maybe a DWORD variable?

Try enabling the page heap[^] for your process. Follow these steps:
1. Download and install WinDBG[^].
2. Select “Start”->“All Programs”->“Debugging Tools for Windows”->“Global Flags”.
3. Select the “Image File” tab.
4. In the “Image: (TAB to refresh)” edit control enter the name of your app then press TAB. Just the name with the extension; not the full path.
5. Tick the following:
- “Enable page heap”
- “Enable heap tail checking”
- “Enable heap free checking”
- “Enable heap parameter checking”
- “Enable heap validation on call”
- “Create user mode stack trace database”
6. Press “Apply”.
7. Debug your application. Any debugger will do but with WinDBG you have access to the stack traces of allocations via the !heap –p –a command, for example. When a heap problem is detected a breakpoint will be generated.
8. When done un-tick all the options you ticked, press “Apply” then dismiss GFlags. This step is important as if it’s skipped all applications named as entered in step 4 will run with the page heap enabled.
Note that when using the page heap your application will run much slower than normal and consume way more memory. It’s good to have a beefy machine to do such tests; and such tests should be ran regularly on all applications you develop as part of regular testing activities. If I find a part of my application that’s too slow with the page heap enabled I optimize the memory allocation in that region.

Hello,
I have an OCX control, I've declared a variable that points to that ocx, so I can write "TAM_OCX. and the intellisense shows me all my possibilities.
I've been able to see one function inside that ocx:
TAM_OCX.OnCmdMsg(UINT nID, int nCode, void *pExtra, AFX_CMDHANDLERINFO *pHandlerInfo);
How can I link a function to that event? or how can I handle that event?
As always, thank you in advance.

Try sndPlaySound() or PlaySound().
