my bad, WM_SIZE or WM_ACTIVATE.
You can also get notified of the minimize command before it is carried out using WM_SYSCOMMAND.
also, the IsIconic() function is there to know if an application is minimized...

Overriding the WM_SYSCOMMAND is the best way if one should execute some code before an app is being minimized. But the WinKey+D combination will not send your application this message!

The op has a two-staged problem. At first, he must detect WinKey+D. And then, he must minimize it. I suggested him how to detect WinKey+D. He could add a handler which would be executed while this combination is pressed. Now, the second stage is to put the code within this handler, which sends his app into the system tray.

i'm absolutely not sure of this.
here is what I'm thinking he has (but as long as he didn't replyed to my question, I can't know for sure).
he implemented a "Go To tray" function in his application. but he certainly throws his Apps to the tray when selecting that action on a Menu or with a button.
but what he wants is sending his apps to the tray whenever the application is minimized.
Win+D is a Windows implementation to show the desktop. it throws a Minimize event to every application in the taskbar.
so the OP doen't have to know that it is a Win+D, but only that the application is told to minimize (then, to the tray)...
get me ?

I agree, although it should probably be WM_SIZE/SIZE_MINIMZED that is being looked for instead.

Yes. I am telling the op that he has to capture Win+D and execute the same code to send his app to the tray in response. Because his app is currently not reacting to Win+D, which is what his problem is. You may want to override OnSysCommand like this to verify it:
void CDialogDlg::OnSysCommand(UINT nID, LPARAM lParam)
{
if(nID==SC_MINIMIZE)
AfxMessageBox(_T("Minimizing!"));
}
Pressing the minimize button will display the message. But if you press Win+D, the control never reaches here, but the app goes minimized.

What exactly do you mean by minimize event? Windows won't throw any such minimize event when Win+D is pressed!

so what more does he need ?
he puts his "go to tray" code in the minimizing event handler, no matter if it is a Win+D, a Win+M or any other way to minimize an application !

OMG, tox you are not getting it. His app is not responding to Win+D (see his original msg), for some reason and that's why I asked him to trap separately and react to it.

Are you referring to the taskbar notification area?

This would be trivial for a "normal" dialog box. I added the WS_MINIMIZEBOX style to one of my dialogs, and I could then respond to WM_SIZE and call Shell_NotifyIcon() appropriately. Are you indicating that this has not worked for you (I assume so but just wanted to be sure)?

hi
i run a thread to show some line in edit box and in every second thread add one line but i want to show only last added ten lines in edit box,how is this possible
thank you

If I understand it right, your question boils down to: "How can I update the contents in an edit box?" And the answer is, with the help of a member variable.

hi rajesh
you r absolutely right.can u tell me with the help of some code
|
|
|
|

There is no serious coding. Add a member variable to your edit control and name it as m_str. Now, you can alter the value of this variable like: m_str = _T("some new value"); and then call UpdateData(false); to reflect it on the screen.

Use a CStringList to accomplish the same.
Look at CStringList::RemoveHead() function. Your task would become easy with it.

How about keeping the 10 lines in a CStringArray (or similar) object instead? Then the edit control can be updated from this object. Does this sound plausible?

hi
i have a application to call a object in all classes.
how to make it . help me

|
|
|
|
huuu, what ????
which classes ?
which object ?
what have you tried so far ?
|
|
|
|
|
You'll need to be more specific. What do you mean call an object in all classes. Functions get called on instances of classes. Do you want to call all functions on an instance or the same function on all instances or the same name function on instances of different classes?
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.
|
|
|
|
|
Usually applications don't call objects in their classes.
I think that you must should be a bit more precise.
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.
