Hello,
Is there away to implement a preprocessor macro that would generate a build date in the style of UNIX timestamp (like 20080103 etc.). It would be helpful to print this kind of timestamp into program's About box or include it into program's version number. I know there is __DATE__, but this outputs a different format.
Cheers

__DATE__ is what you need. Re-arranging string format won't be such a difficult task.

You post the same yesterday. I already answered asking you for more details. Could you please be so kind to elaborate a bit?

I'm trying to restrict my dialog window from being moved outside the visible screen area.
I'm doing this using this method:
void CWindowsDVRDlg::OnWindowPosChanged(WINDOWPOS FAR* lpwndpos)
{
CSkinDialog::OnWindowPosChanged(lpwndpos);
CRect rc;
GetWindowRect (&rc);
if (EnsureRectangleOnDisplay(rc)){
SetWindowPos(NULL, rc.left, rc.top, 0,0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOZORDER);
}
else{
SendMessage(DM_REPOSITION);
}
RedrawWindow(NULL,NULL,RDW_INVALIDATE);
}
The code works but its flaw is that it's still painting the dialog window outside the visible screen area just before it is repositioned inside the screen (by SendMessage(DM_REPOSITION)). Flickering is the result of this.
Can anyone help me with this? You're help would be much appreciated.

Use OnWindowPosChanging instead.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanx!
I tried using OnWindowPosChanging() beforehand but the problem is, it seems it cannot process the SendMessage(DM_REPOSITION) at all which is what I need to implement.
Any other ideas on preventing the program from painting windows outside the screen (results in flickering) while using OnWindowPosChanged() and SendMessage(DM_REPOSITION)?

You can stop painting in the OnPaint method.
Or (better) you can invalidate (if it is under your control) only the inside-screen area.

I dont understand the need of this... If you are targeting to restrict the window movement, OnWindowPosChanging is enough. You only need to update the WINDOWPOS structure values passed by it. No need of DM_REPOSITION.
Is my understanding correct?

Can you post a specific piece of code on how to do this:
(If you are targeting to restrict the window movement, OnWindowPosChanging is enough. You only need to update the WINDOWPOS structure values passed by it. No need of DM_REPOSITION)
Actually, I have no idea how to make it work other than using SendMessage(DM_REPOSITION)in restricting window movement only to the visible screen. Could you help me please.

I did this before by handling the WM_MOVING message. See here.

HWND h;<br />
<br />
long l = (long)h;
<br />
how to correct change HWND to long?
|
|

Which warning?
I can see only "warning C4700: local variable 'h' used without having been initialized" in VC6 with warning level 4.

On 32-bit platforms the two data types have the same size hence the cast is harmless. The compiler warns because this can be an issue when you port the code to 64-bit platforms.

now, I can also use these code
<br />
LONG64 l64Temp = (LONG64)m_hWnd;<br />
long lTemp = static_cast<long>(l64Temp);<br />
</long>

Why would you use that code?

convert that back to HWND after converting to LONG, if it is working than it is fine. i too have used this technique many times, and face to problem.. wishes same for you!

To expand on CPallini's response [^]- you can turn off the "unsafe on 64-bit platform" warnings. Propeties => Configuration Properties => C / C++ => General => Detect 64-bit Portability Issues.
