No, he WANTS them. BAD. If you're handling a used emoticon in this forum, be careful, because you do not know where it has been.

Getting Data from a Dialog in a an MDI Document

This is going to sound like a stupid question, but I can't find anything on how to do it. I have a text editor MDI that calls up a dialog box. I have the information saved as a CString in the dialog box, but now how do I get it from there and displayed in my document?

I've looked at the MSDN CD, and also this site, but I can't seem to find a step by step tutorial on how to do it. Can anyone help me to do this simple task, or at least point me in the right direction to find out?

Thanks

I am just teaching myself MFC so I hope I don't steer you in the wrong direction.

Here is a tutorial I did tried this weekend. It should help. Note, there are a few errors but you should be able to get through it.

http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/dialogapptute2.asp

The tutorial takes data from a various controls and puts it in a list box and then to a dialog box, but the principle should be the same.

You can use the class wizard to make a member variable (I think you will use a category of "control") to hold the data you want moved to the document.

When you come to a fork in the road, take it! Y. Berra

Well, if your dialog is modal (i.e. you launch it with DoModal,) things are simple. You already mapped the string to some member variable of the dialog (let's say it's called m_str.) Then, after DoModal, the value is just there for you to use:

void CYourView::OnSomeParticularEvent()
{
  CYourDlg dlg;
  if(dlg.DoModal()==IDOK){
    // use dlg.m_str (for instance, to store it in your
    // CDocument-derived class.)
  }
}

I hope I made myself clear enough. Good luck with your project.

Use the SystemParametersInfo function's
undocumented SPI_SETSCREENSAVERRUNNING

UINT _Junk;

// turn off ctl-alt-del
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETSCREENSAVERRUNNING,1,&_Junk,0);

// ... do stuff? like what?

// turn on ctl-alt-del
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETSCREENSAVERRUNNING,0,&_Junk,0);

CSocket in MFC Console app

I created a console app supporting MFC to create a small IRC bot. However I can't get my CSocket-derived class to work properly. The AfxSocketInit() call is successful, and so is CMySocket::Create() and CMySocket::Connect(). Using classwizard I overloaded the OnRecieve member to let me know when there is something to recieve. I've done all this in a regular Win32 MFC app before, and it worked as it should. In this console app however it (CMySocket::OnRecieve()) just doesn't get called. I know there is data to recieve because when I call it myself there is.

I'm really stuck here... Confused | :confused:

If I recall correctly from my CSocket days (years ago), don't you need a window to use CSocket ?. If this is true, then a console application won't work.

Hope this helps.

I can't see how it needs a window? The class basicly works, and I can use it to send and recieve perfectly, but the OnEvent()-functions just doesn't get called by the MFC framework. Do I need a message loop or anything to make it do so?

If this isn't possible, how can I check if there is data ready to be recieved, without halting the program if there isn't any?

Asynchronous calls like OnReceive and OnSend need a window!

You do need a window to receive event notifications like OnReceive. Network events are processed with the same mechanism used to process windows messages. So u need a window to receive those notifications. A console app has no connection with windows.

You can use the class: CMutex

A Mutex it's a kernel object which can be accessed from different process.

Basically on the first run of your application check for a named mutex, if it doesn't exists, create it, if exists exit your program.

Here's a piece of help from MSDN:

"An object of class CMutex represents a "mutex" — a synchronization object that allows one thread mutually exclusive access to a resource. Mutexes are useful when only one thread at a time can be allowed to modify data or some other controlled resource. For example, adding nodes to a linked list is a process that should only be allowed by one thread at a time. By using a CMutex object to control the linked list, only one thread at a time can gain access to the list."

I don't have an example at hand, sorry.

Hope this helps.

This is code I use in my applications to solve this:

BOOL MyAppClass::InitInstance(void)
{
	if (IsAppAlreadyRunning() == TRUE)
	{
		return (FALSE);
	}

...

	return (TRUE);
}


boolean MyAppClass::IsAppAlreadyRunning(void)
{
	// Determine if application already exists...
	if (OpenMutex(MUTEX_ALL_ACCESS, FALSE, UNIQUE_APPLICATION_MUTEX_STRING) != NULL)
	{
		AfxMessageBox(_TEXT("Error! Application is already running, cannot start another instance."), MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
		return (TRUE);
	}

	CreateMutex(NULL, FALSE, UNIQUE_APPLICATION_MUTEX_STRING);

	return (FALSE);
}

I believe the following will work:

If m_treeView is a View, you need to get the control

CTreeCtrl & theCtrl = m_treeView.GetTreeCtrl() (This is from memory, so the syntax and spelling may be off a bit, but it's very close.)

Then use:

theCtrl.SetCheck(hParent, TRUE);

This is quite easy:
use ITaskbarList::ActivateTab for this purpose.

Try this:

ITaskbarList *pDisp = NULL;
CoCreateInstance( CLSID_TaskbarList, NULL, CLSCTX_SERVER, IID_ITaskbarList, (LPVOID *) &pDisp );
...
pDisp->ActivateTab(hWnd);
pDisp->Release();
