Couldn't you just change the colors to your desired COLOREF values in the dialog's OnInitDialog() function? Maybe it's not as nice as setting it through the constructor, but it's better than using global variables.

Hey i'm new to visual C++ and i'm using windows forms but that forum doesn't seem to get answered.
I'm wondering how to call a method from a class in the form1.h?
so for example:
<br />
<br />
form1.h<br />
<br />
private: System::Void testToolStripMenuItem_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) <br />
<br />
<br />
{<br />
Class test<br />
void test()<br />
{<br />
}<br />

You should ask the managed C++/CLI one.

Hi,
I am using right shift operator in my project. The following code snippet shows the sample of the project.
This project is compiled in VS 2005
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include<conio.h>
using namespace std;
#define JULIAN_ADJUSTMENT 1721425L
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
long theDate=2453843;
long theAdjustedDays = (theDate >> 32 ) - JULIAN_ADJUSTMENT;
std::cout<<theAdjustedDays;
getch();
return 0;
}
While in debug build, I am getting correct answer: 732418
and in release build, it gives wrong value: -1721425
Please let me know how to resolve this issue in release build.
Thanks in advance

Maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but if you divide 2453843 by 232, the result is less than one. Subtracting 1721425 from that will yield a difference of -1721424.99. 
I think the difference between Debug and Release boils down to a signed vs. unsigned issue, but that's just a guess.

the debug build seems to have an error lol....
in fact -1721425 is correct since 2453843 >> 32 is 0.
Don't try it, just do it!

Actually (at least IMHO) only the release build is working properly.
To keep things easy, let's ignore sign: if you shift a long (i.e. a 4-bytes, 32-bits integer) 32 times then you must obtain zero.
I've seen the disassembly, both of the debug build and of the release build and I suppose that in the latter one code optimization hides a compiler bug (if you turn OFF optimization then the release build behave exactly like the debug one).
In the debug build the compiler translates the right shift operation into SAR assembly instruction. SAR instruction executes the right shift ignoring all but the four least significative ones of the second operand, i.e. does nothing in your particular case. I don't think that standard C or C++ language allows this behaviour.
I think you hit a subtle compiler bug, though I'm not sure about (I'll post the question on the general discussion forum).

Actually you shouldn't use a 32 bit shift on a 32 bit wide number because the compiler is allowed to return you a wrong result:
(from C language specification [^], 6.5.7 Bitwise shift operators, Semantics)
The integer promotions are performed on each of the operands. The type of the result is
that of the promoted left operand. If the value of the right operand is negative or is
greater than or equal to the width of the promoted left operand, the behavior is undefined.

Hello!
Is there any API that I can use in my application in order to detect at some moment that another application is trying to install a Windows hook (SetWindowsHookEx) ?
Thanks in advance!
|
|
|
|
|
no this is no api to do so. you could create a global api hook for SetWindowsHookEx.
Don't try it, just do it!
|
|
|
|
|
I guess you are refering to WH_DEBUG. I read the documentation for SetWindowsHookEx again and this seems to be the type of hook I was looking for...

Urgent help required.
Tons of experience yet unable to see where I go wrong with this one.
Got a CPropertySheet in wizard mode.
One of its pages is scanning the serial ports for a device and for this I elected to use a callback method so that this process is kept asynchronously.
Obviously when this page receives the callback it's (possibly/likely) on another thread so I cast one of the callbacks parameter to the instance and post a user defined message to it, like so:
void CCommsPage::NotifyAPC(unsigned nId, bool bResult, void* pParam)<br />
{<br />
CWnd* pThis = reinterpret_cast<cwnd*>(pParam);<br />
<br />
if (pThis > NULL)<br />
{<br />
pThis->PostMessage(WM_NOTIFY_CB, nId, bResult);
}<br />
}</cwnd*>
When this message is processed by the page I am indeed back on the thread that the port scan was initiated from.
Yet when I then get this page to instruct the wizard to progress to the next page, like so:
<br />
CCommsPage::OnCallBackConnect(bool bSuccess)<br />
{<br />
if (bSuccess)<br />
{<br />
...<br />
<br />
#ifdef _DEBUG<br />
CPropertySheet* pSheet = dynamic_cast<cpropertysheet*>(GetParent());<br />
ASSERT(pSheet > NULL);<br />
#else<br />
CPropertySheet* pSheet = static_cast<cpropertysheet*>(GetParent());<br />
#endif<br />
<br />
pSheet->PressButton(PSWIZB_NEXT);<br />
...<br />
}<br />
}</cpropertysheet*></cpropertysheet*>
The wizard boms out completely when CPropertySheet::PressButton() is invoked.
If I replace the call to PressButton() with...
pSheet->SetWizardButtons(PSWIZB_BACK | PSWIZB_NEXT);
Then the "Next" button is enabled and when I manually click on that button then the wizard does go on to the next page.
That - however - is not an ideal solution and I really want the wizard to progress programmatically.
I've googled and googled and cannot find any article that has the answers that I look for.
I am sure that someone must have had a similar experience. Either that or I am making such a basic mistake that I should reconsider this career.
Someone please help.

CPropertySheet returns from DoModal() prematurely.
For the record / to reiterate, obviously more pages are 'queued up' which do show when I replace the PressButton() with SetWizardButtons() and click the "Next" button.

In the OnCallBackConnect() function, how about sending the parent a user-defined message so that it can "press" its own button?

Simplicity in itself (why didn't I think of this?!)
Anyway, have a cigar on me David. This works a treat!
Still baffled as to why it won't work without this 'workaround' but hey...

|
|
|

In fact, a user defined message is not required I found.
If instead I use ...
GetParent()->PostMessage(PSM_PRESSBUTTON, PSBTN_NEXT, 0);
where I would previously call CPropertySheet::PressButton() (where GetParent() is of course the property sheet) then this works too.
Could this also be the missing clue? CPropertySheet::PressButton() does exactly what I do now but with a SendMessage() instead.

You shouldnt work with the same Window in different thread via getting it from the original handle. You better post registered messages to the window handle.

Ehrm.... I don't use the FromHandle() method and I *am* posting messages like you suggest.

I'm calling a setup program setup.exe through a bat file. The problem is that although I'm able to execute the setup program the command prompt lies in the background. The intent is to get rid of this prompt; so that if one clicks on install.bat file the installation is shown in the foreground as going smooth without having the window due to running the bat file visible. Note that the bat file is a must as it contains a handful of dos command that has to be executed around the installation. Could there be any other way to package this stuff? Please help.

Do you control the setup program? If so, is there some reason the DOS commands can't be run from within your Setup program via CreateProcess with SW_HIDE?

Yes The bat file controls the running of the setup program.

That's not quite what I meant when I asked if you controlled the Setup program. Is it your setup program? Did you write it? If that answer is yes, see the second sentence of my previous reply.

Hi All,
I keep getting the infamous "updating source control status" freeze up at random times during the day in Microsoft visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition.
This message keeps coming in the status bar even if I am just navigating through the class view or solution explorer view.
Following solutions haven't worked:
1) In Visual Studio, turn off Tools > Options > Source Control > Plug in
Settings > "Perform background status updates"
2) Create an empty folder c:\vsstemp. Then in Visual Studio, Tools >
Options > Source Control > Plug in Settings > Advanced > Folder for temporary
files - set to "c:\vsstemp" rather than the default location on the network.
3)In the Registry entry for source safe change the AllowStatusUpdates from 1 to 0...but unfortunately it's already 0.
Someone please suggest a solution for this or this a permanent bug ???
...A Programmer may or may not be the master of the programming language grammar...
