Yes that's right. It is difficult to get any usefull info on SetDefaultItem(). Best I've come up with is it is used with drag and drop. It doesn't help me though. Thanks anywayz.

Neville, me thinks subclassing CPopupMenu should easily give you what you want.

Hi Ravi, I'm actually using Bruno's excellent CNewMenu code. This does subclass the menu but a) I am a little reluctant to start mucking around in the subclass code and b) I can't work out what I would do here anyway. Any suggestions?

Hi Neville,
I haven't looked at Bruno's article, but off the top of my head I'd do this:- Store the preselected id in a member variable.
- Override the handler for "mouse on new menu item" (not
WM_MENUSELECT) and clear the member variable.
- In the
OnDrawItem() override, draw the item as selected if its id matches the member variable's value (if non-zero). If the member variable is zero (i.e. has been cleared), just call the base class OnDrawItem().
I think the tricky part is handling the message "mouse on new menu item". I hope these thoughts end up being helpful and not a waste of time!

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for that - I'll ponder on it.
For all my years of Windows development I've always been frustrated by the menu handling code, but this isn't the time nor the place for that.

What do you mean, you want them? If you mean you want them on your hard disk, just right click and take save-as. If you mean you want them for your web site, you'll probably need Chris M's permission.

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.

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){
}
}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);

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...

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?

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.

How can I make a dialogbox as a single instance. So multiple copies cannot get executed.
Thanks

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)
{
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 was thinking that SetItemState would do it but I am not sure what state to set.
