Hello,
This is in regards to MDI architecture.
I have a CString that gets set to (lpszPathName) on the OpenDocument function inside the Doc class.
I want to access this string in the View class, and I don't know how to access it.
I tried this.
(in Doc Class)
m_String = lpszPathName;
AfxMessageBox(m_String);
This MessageBox display the Pathname as I wanted.
(in View class)
CMyView NewView;
AfxMessageBox( NewView.m_String );
This MessageBox displays a blank box. Obviously, the string isn't passing as I thought it would.
Does anyone know how I could do this?
Thanks a whole lot.

You have to get a pointer to the view's associated document first.
CMyDoc* pDoc = (CMyDoc*)GetDocument();
if (pDoc)
{
AfxMessageBox((LPCTSTR)pDoc->m_String);
}

Perhaps i wasnt clear: I want to send info from view2 of doc2 to doc1 which will update view1 (how is mysterious yet).
I'm going to try the postmessage and see if I can populate a variable in view1 with info from view2.
However I'm still unable to even create a cFORMView project with 2 documents!!!! I posted about this just now.
I appreciate your responses.

If this is confusing, please just read my summary. Thats what my ultimate goal is:
I am trying to communicate information received in a View (which is associated with doc1) to Doc2 so it can update View2.
First question is that if I put a button on my view and in the click event try to set the doc2 public variable directly (like Doc2::var = abc), it says that its illegal to access a data member from a static variable.
So I put a setvariable() function in doc1, and tried to create an object of type doc1 in view2 to set the variable (which I dont think is going to do what I want because of the way the document is created from the template). Anyways turns out that doc1() constructor is protected in order to use the dyn_create stuff.
I suppose making the classes friends might allow me access, but the view (view1) I eventually want to use to display info from view2, is created from a template so it wont be communicated to by the simple doc1 object that I am trying to make.
Summary:
I call a dll in view2, and want to give the info received in view2, to be seen in view1. THis I realize has to be done via doc1, but I am not able to figure out how to transmit this info to doc1.
Additional question: In response to a button click on view2, if I can successfully change the value of a variable in doc1, how do I updateallviews()? I dont want to click a ,menu item in doc1 to update all views. rather I want it done automatically as soon as the variable value changes.

Why don't you post a user-defined message to view2 from view1, and let view1 set the variable according to an lparam value passed with the call to PostMessage?

Hi,
The aspi scsi based software cannot find my CDRW/DVDR ROM,
such as CDex, Audacity, Xtractor and EAC...
I have a test by using ASPI Rip justly, the log file report an error
about my cdrom is "Wrong Drive Count".
What it mean? and how get a correct drive count for the cdrom?
Thanks in advance!

Drop the ASPI (that is inherently unsupported by MS) and go for SPTI or at least an ASPI<->SPTI conversion layer such as akrip (at least I think they still provide it).
The error you mention is completely useless without further info.

Hi,
I have installed VStudio 7.0 on my computer, then I wanted to install DirectX 8.1 SDK in my machine but..., it seems that VStudio 7.0 doesn´t accept or import the wizards from Dx 8.1, what can I do ? Is there anyway to import them ?
Thanks, greetings
Braulio

I don't know this for sure (just a guess), so bear with me. But, the wizards in the DX SDK work with VC6, and I think even with 8.1 they still only work with VC6. I still haven't tried to use DX and VC7 together, so I don't know for sure.

Does anybody know how to get extended information about a process under NT4/2000?
I have the ProcessID, therefore I can get a handle etc. but I need to know if the process is still
active(i.e. GetExitCodeProcess(hProcess, &dwExitCode)) does not help, if dwExitCode == STILL_ACTIVE the process could still be hung.
Thanks

enumerate the thread's windows (EnumThreadWindows) and try
sending message with a timeout (SendMessageTimeout) to see
if there is responsiveness.
|
|
|
|
|
Use this
DWORD dwResult;
BOOL bResponding = SendMessageTimeout(hwndInQuestion,
WM_NULL,
0,
0,
SMTO_ABORTIFHUNG,
5000,
&dwResult);
bResponding is TRUE if the process is responding and processing messages. This is precisely the way Task Manager works.

is it possible to let the user select text that was generated by drawtext in a rect??
if yes, how??
with kind regards

no. when text is rendered it is simply pixels on a DC - it's not a character any more.
you will have to do all of it by-hand : (where is the character? is the mouse moving over it? yes, draw the character reversed, etc.). like this - an edit control implemented from scratch.

Yes, but you have to do it manually. Nothing automatic exists in MFC or the Windows API that allows you to do it.
I wrote an article that and posted it here that almost does what I think you want to do, but you'll probably have to modify the code so that you get the desired visual effect.
Here's a link to that article.

Hi,
I have some problems with my apps memory usage. They use a lot of memory.
How can I make my app to use less memory?
Does it matter if I use semantic
{
CMyClass c;
:
}
or
{
CMyClass *c;
c = new CMyClass();
:
delete c;
}
Do Windows use some kind of garbage collection? Then my app has been running for a while the memory usage is lesser. Why?
Grateful for all help I can get.

The amount of memory required by a CMyClass object is the same, regardless of whether it's used on the stack or the heap.
Garbage collection in VC++ is non-existant. If you use the heap, use it wisely. If I have a given object new'd/deleted many times, I will usually redesign the app so that the class is defined as a global variable and new'd in InitInstance, and deleted in the app destructor. Of course, this assumes that you don't need more than a single instance of the class object.
Each app's requirements are different.
Last item of note - I'm not sure if there's a limit on the size of the stack in a 32-bit program. In 16-bit days, it was 64k, so you had to be very careful of what data you put there.

There is no limit here, except when the virtual memory for stack bottom reaches something else (such as a heap). Then it will surely go down in flames.
It can AFAIK be changed by e.g. linker flags (changing the PE flags), but to my knowledge it has never been used in production applications.

Yes. If you're using heap memory your app will have larger memory footprint.
There are a number of ways you can reduce the memory size of your executable, but they always boils down to: know what you're doing and what your compiler and runtime library is doing for you.
Do Windows use some kind of garbage collection?
Absolutely not. That's your responsibility.
Then my app has been running for a while the memory usage is lesser. Why?
There could be a number of reasons. One of them could be that you just looked at what was currently committed to RAM and not the total Working Set. When you minimize any app its working set is "trimmed" (SetProcessWorkingSetsize(-1, -1); IIRC).

I need to read the serial port, but I cannot read it.
I had configure the DCB structure with baud rate of 9600, NOPARITY, 1 Stop bit, and 8 bits of ByteSize.
I can write to the port, I'm using the function WriteFile, and it works fine.
But when I attempt to read the serial port, it fails.
The code is:
ReadFile(hDevComm, chInput, 10, &dwBytesRead, NULL)
and the return value is OK and dwBytesRead 0
thanks in advance!

There's a couple of articles here on CodeProject that explains that.

Hi! This should be a easy task for most of you, and it sounds easy, but i can't find in my SDI with MFC aplication where to use WS_MAXIMIZE, but i'm not sure if this is the appropriate procedure because WS_MAXIMIZE is related to a window not an aplication, can you help me?
Thank you
