Hi everybody,
I have a problem with a menu on a regular dialog. I want to change the text of the menu item in run-time, so I do this:
ModifyMenu( GetMenu(), 0, MF_STRING | MF_BYPOSITION, 0, (LPCTSTR) _T( "View" ) );
This works if the menu is submenu and I am changing the items there, but if I want to change the root menu (the one that sits on the menu bar and does not have an ID), then it changes but it does not display any changes until I move the mouse over it, so I guess it does not refreshes immediatelly.
Or maybe there is a whole better way to change the text of the menu items at runtime?
I went through Michael Dunn's articles, but only have seen the examples of toolbar and statusbar, with UISetText, but this does not work in my case.
Thanks for your help in advance.

You need to call DrawMenuBar() to redraw the menu.
|
|
|
|
|
Exactly! Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

The problem still persists in some way. After I call DrawMenuBar(), it does refreshes the menu but now the code that checks and unchecks the menu item does not work at all. Also, the code that grays out some menu item does not work either, and it doesn't matter how many times I call DrawMenuBar().
I am not sure whether this behavior is specific to DrawMenuBar(), or is caused by the ModifyMenu command, but it sure screws up the app.
Thank you.

I need to pass user defined COM class through COM interface. I passed its interface as I can not pass its coclass. Please correct me if I am wrong.
The code was compiling. Now the problem is I have some data types in the coclass and can not use them from interface.
Could you please let me know how to solve this.
Here below is the code:
STDMETHODIMP CTP_Interface_Wrp::GetObligorInputData(ITP_CompInputData_Wrp *pVal)<br />
{<br />
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState())<br />
<br />
<br />
pTP_DLL_Interface->GetObligorInputData(pVal->pTP_CompanyInputData);
return S_OK;<br />
}
Actually pTP_CompanyInputData is member vairable of TP_CompInputData coclass. This can not be accessed from its interface class ITP_CompInputData.
|
|
|
|
|
I fixed the problem by type casting interface with its coclass.
((CTP_CompInputData_Wrp*)pVal)->pTP_CompanyInputData
Please let me know if this is the right approach.

I don't think that's a good idea, because a client could quite reasonably implement its own version of your interface, and pass it to your method, causing the type cast to fail and provide no useful error message as to why. If it isn't reasonable to add the property to your interface, you can add an interface to your class that does have that property, and then you can query for that interface safely.

I have an MFC based dialog exe (VS2005 just one dialog) it has some global pointers which are initialized when the exe starts up.
I added an ATL COM object to the project (enabled ATL support) now i call methods on this COM object through another process, everything goes on fine but in the called methods the global pointers appear NULL, seems the like the COM object is created in some other context can someone shed more light into this.
[Edit]
OK i just found out that even if the EXE is running windows still runs it one more time with arguments(/Embedded) this completely screws up my design (which is apparently flawed) is there some way out?
[/Edit]
Thanks.

Of what? We don't know what problem you are trying to solve. If you require interprocess communications I would not suggest COM as a solution, it is far to complex for most IPC requirements. But, I really don't know what problem you are trying to solve so that may not help you at all.

Hi,
I have a problem with getting a transparent static control to draw correctly on a WTL dialog. Everything I do works, but only if the text color is black.
Message handler is like this:
<small>MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC, OnCtlColorStatic)</small>
Then I have a method to handle it:
<br />
<small>LRESULT OnCtlColorStatic(UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, BOOL& bHandled);</small>
and in the code I do like this:
<small>LRESULT MainDialog::OnCtlColorStatic(UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, BOOL& bHandled)<br />
{<br />
HWND hWnd = (HWND)lParam;<br />
HDC hDc = (HDC)wParam;<br />
<br />
COLORREF m_crTextColorMaroon;<br />
m_crTextColorMaroon = RGB( 128, 0, 0 );<br />
HBRUSH hbr;<br />
hbr = (HBRUSH)m_crTextColorMaroon;<br />
<br />
if( hWnd == (HWND)GetDlgItem(IDC_FILE) ||<br />
hWnd == (HWND)GetDlgItem(IDC_FILESIZE)) <br />
{<br />
::SetTextColor( hDc, m_crTextColorMaroon );<br />
::SetBkMode(hDc, TRANSPARENT);<br />
return (LRESULT) GetStockObject (HOLLOW_BRUSH);<br />
}<br />
<br />
return 0;<br />
}</small>
So far so good, everything works. I am only changing the color of the controls that will represent a label, the other static controls on the dialog should display text in the black color. So this works perfectly when the dialog gets displayed.
Now the user changes the language on the menu, and I do this:
<small>SetDlgItemText( IDC_FILE, (LPCTSTR) SomeNewText);</small>
and the text gets drawn over the previous text, making it indecipherable.
What is wrong with this code? Why doesn't the static controls clear its content before the new text is drawn.
If I use <small>SetDlgItemText(...)</small> with any other static control that is not handled in the <small>OnCtlColorStatic</small> method, it gets drawn correctly.
Thanks for your help.

You're returning HOLLOW_BRUSH which paints nothing. When the control asks you what brush to use as the background brush, you give it a brush that doesn't paint, so the old contents of the control aren't erased. I'd do this:
LRESULT MainDialog::OnCtlColorStatic(UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, BOOL& bHandled)
{
HWND hWnd = (HWND) lParam;
HDC hDc = (HDC) wParam;
if(hWnd == GetDlgItem(IDC_FILE) || hWnd == GetDlgItem(IDC_FILESIZE))
{
SetTextColor(hDc, RGB(128,0,0));
SetBkMode(hDc, TRANSPARENT);
}
bHandled = false;
return 0;
}This code changes the attributes of the DC that you care about, then lets the message go on to the default window proc, which will set the right background color.

Thanks for your help, Mike, but this does not work for me. Now all static controls display a black colored text. Yes, I can change the text and not to get it write over the previous one, but the text is not redish ( RGB(128, 0, 0)) but black.
Can I send you the app, it's only one dialog, just a few lines of code above the normal code generated for the ATL exe app?
Thanks.

OK, this time I actually tested the code that I'm going to post. 
LRESULT CMainDlg::OnCtlcolorstatic(UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, BOOL& bHandled)
{
LRESULT res = ::DefWindowProc(m_hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);
HDC hdc = (HDC) wParam;
HWND hwnd = (HWND) lParam;
if(hwnd == GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC1) || hwnd == GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC2))
{
SetTextColor(hdc, RGB(255,0,0));
SetBkMode(hdc, TRANSPARENT);
}
return res;
}The first line gets the default brush so the background looks right.

Hi,
I am programming a COM object in C++, to be used in a Visual Basic Apllication.
I want to know if there is a way to separate the interface members with namespaces like this
Study.FramesOfReference.Series.Item()
where Study is a COM Object that contains a CoClass FramesOfReference which Contains a CoClass Series wich has a method Item()
Thank U very Much

I need to create a shell extension similar to the already existing "Sent To->Email Recipient"
The only difference is that rather than creating a new mail message with a files as attachments, I want to create a new message with the file paths in the message body. Preferably I'd like to have the files linked so the recipient can just click on the link and have the file open up (everyone in the network has access to common network drive) ...
I've toyed around with just doing registry stuff (not using VC++ or ATL) and I got pretty close. It would work fine for 1 file, but if I selected 10 files, it would create 10 new messages (one for each file path).
... Anyways, I followed the excellent shell extension guide found here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/shell/shellextguide1.aspx[^] and I have the extension all laid out the way I want it. It registers fine and is displayed perfectly.
I'd like to know what the best approach from here would be as far as actually creating a new email message... I tried using System::Diagnostics::Process::Start, but the .Net & clr stuff didn't seem to work out to well...
Any suggestions?

When I follow the link to the WTL documentation project:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/wtl/wtldocs2.aspx[^]
I get an error message that's telling me that an error occurred in the page.
I could access the page a few weeks ago. Anybody else with this problem?

I encountered strange problem with WTL program I'm trying to make (please bear with me because I'm not a pro, programming is just my hobby). I'm trying to make a program to view any image directly from zip (something like CDisplay, but with FreeImage and ZipUtils).
I reused code of a WTL Bitmap viewer example (from original WTL package).
I'm switching 2 views in SDI application (see http://www.codeproject.com/KB/wtl/switchviews_wtl.aspx), one flicker-free image display (generic view) and a CListViewCtrl thumbnails list (not a control in client, I use whole view#2 window).
I build with VC8ExpressSP1 + Platform SDK2003R2 + WTL latest version.

The problem is: in debug version all is fine with window redrawing
but in release version my flicker-free window is never updated, even when it is the first-in-order ID view.
If I drag it's contents out of the screen, it gets redrawn at those parts that go out of screen.
When there is just one wiev, there's no problems. There is another issue with thumbnails-list not displaying properly, but I circumvent it with showing/creating thumbview window first. (playing with WS_CLIPSIBLINGS or WS_CLIPCHILDREN doesn't have any effect, except not drawing anything where it should)
I seem to me that my "flicker-free" view window never receives WM_PAINT message in release version.
Is this somehow related to debugger-window-activations -stuff (I vaguely remember reading somewhere something like that)...?
I can provide full source code if neccesary.

I can't find any tutorials on implementing WTL with COM. I have no knowledge of ATL itself. No decent guides around and none on here.
|
|
|
|
|
AFAIK, WTL is just an extension to ATL. Thus, you create COM the same way you would with ATL.

My friend says I need to have ATL knowledge before tackling WTL with COM. Know any good ATL tutorials. Cause I can't find any decent ones on here from start to finish,
