Thanks for the reply. I ended up calling UpdateData(FALSE) in the CMainFrame just after this dialog bar is created (and initializing other aspects such as ticks, range, etc.). It doesn't feel very like good OOD, but it's the one sure place that I can consistently initialize my DialogBar controls.

Also, I assume in the code fragment you wrote, you meant to write a != NULL instead of a == NULL?

Thanks!

I would like to see all the ICMP messages coming to my machine. I wrote the following code but I can not read anything from the socket. Where is my mistake ?

SOCKET hSocket = ::socket(PF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_ICMP);
while (true)
{
sockaddr_in from;
int nFromlen = sizeof(from);
int nRead = recvfrom(hSocket,pRecvBuf,1024,0,(sockaddr*)&from,&nFromlen);
}
When I ping another machine from dos prompt I expect to catch something but nothing happens and recvfrom blocks. I have admin privileges. Can someone help me on this subject please. I could not solve it.
Thank you

*ahem*
we are projects of code here... or something like that.

Anyway, could you give a few more details? Are you using MFC, or straight Win32? Do you need to disable one menu, or all of them, or just certain ones? And what have you tried (i don't have the july MSDN here)?

For reference, the functions EnableMenuItem() and potentially DrawMenuBar() will most likely be your starting point.

i have tried using
pMenu->AppendMenu(MF_STRING | MF_DISABLED, 0, "Insert");

and
the submenu pointer code

CMenu* mmenu = GetMenu();
CMenu* submenu = mmenu->GetSubMenu(4);

if (menuID == IDM_VIEW_OBJECTONLY) {
submenu->CheckMenuItem(IDM_VIEW_OBJECTONLY, MF_CHECKED | MF_BYCOMMAND);
submenu->CheckMenuItem(IDM_VIEW_PATHOBJECT,

and some thing from msdn .. which was more simpler

but all things give me one same run time error..

What run time error is that?

The code looks right (though cut off); if i were to guess, i'd say maybe 4 is the wrong indice for the menu you're looking for. Step through with a debugger & see what the return values are for each stage.

gaining access to 16-bit process space ?

hi,

I'm trying to gain access to a 16-bit app.

i'm trying something like :

::readProcessMemory(ProcHandle, (LPVOID)OffSet, buffer, BytesToRead, &BytesRead);

this doesn't work.

I did some research and it seems that all 16-bit apps operate in the same address space.
Well, ... I found a DLL (toolhelp.dll) with which I can get the Job done but only in WIN9x.

I need something to get the job done under NT too.

preferably I'm looking for a way that works equally good in all environments.

thx & greetz

Launch a new instance from SDI app ?

yarp22-Jul-02 6:15

22-Jul-02 6:15

Help,
I'm trying to launch a new IE instance from a CHtmlView based SDI application.
The code is as follows:

// Get a pointer to the application object
CWinApp* pApp = AfxGetApp();

// Get the correct document template
CDocTemplate* pDocTemplate;

POSITION pos = pApp->GetFirstDocTemplatePosition();
pDocTemplate = pApp->GetNextDocTemplate(pos);

// Create the new frame
CDocument* pDoc = pDocTemplate->CreateNewDocument();
CFrameWnd* pNewFrame = pDocTemplate->CreateNewFrame(pDoc/ *GetDocument()* /,
                                                    NULL/ *(CFrameWnd*)AfxGetMainWnd()* /);
// Activate the frame and set its active view
pDocTemplate->InitialUpdateFrame(pNewFrame, NULL);

CPeachPlorerView* pView = (CPeachPlorerView*)pNewFrame->GetActiveView();

pView->SetRegisterAsBrowser(TRUE);

*ppDisp = pView->GetApplication();

Unfortunately the new frame is parented to the previous one. I think the CDocTemplate framework inherit the same CWinApp. So when I close the parent the child is closed to.

The best way would be to launch a new instance of my application, and keep a handle on it so that I can pass the IDispatch interface (ppDisp). I mean initializing the SDI from another. I've no idea on how to do this. Can somebody help me ?

Paul M Watt22-Jul-02 8:33

22-Jul-02 8:33

First off I made a mistake in the way that I called GetWindowLong. It should be called like this

::GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE);

and SetWindowLong like this:

::SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE, lStyle);

As far as the Ex styles, it should work exactly the same except that you will use the GWL_EXSTYLE flag instead.

THere is however one thing that I just thought of, if you are modifying a style that deals with the window frame, you will need to make a call to SetWindowPos in order to force the window to incorporate the new style changes into your window.

I found the code directly out of the ModifySTyle function in MFC, here is how they do it.

ASSERT(hWnd != NULL);
DWORD dwStyle = ::GetWindowLong(hWnd, nStyleOffset);
DWORD dwNewStyle = (dwStyle & ~dwRemove) | dwAdd;
if (dwStyle == dwNewStyle)
    return FALSE;

::SetWindowLong(hWnd, nStyleOffset, dwNewStyle);
if (nFlags != 0)
{
    ::SetWindowPos(hWnd, NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0,
        SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOACTIVATE | nFlags);
}

Good Luck

Trouble with Radio Buttons

I'm making a standard MFC app with one dialog. On the dialog I have placed 2 radio buttons. When I run my program none of the radio buttons is checked. How do I make one of the default checked when I start my program?

Frown | :(

Re: Trouble with Radio Buttons

Do you have a member variable set up to handle the radio buttons (through ClassWizard)? If so, in your constructor, set it to 0 or 1 in the class constructor (depending on which radio button you want checked.)

If not, you need to set up control classes for each radio button, and in the OnInitDialog function, call:
yourButtonObject.SetCheck(1);
for the button you want to have checked.

Even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat.

imitating mouse clicks

22-Jul-02 4:34

Hello all,

I would like to simulate the mouse clicking and selecting commands. Basically, if I press a button in a toolbar, I want it's function to run. For instance the "New" button, or the "Open" button in the Word toolbar, will obviously create a new file, or open a selected a file.

What I would like to do, is know how to send a message saying "I clicked on a Toolbar button!" to the project.

I'd also like to know ho to do this from the DropDown Menu. I'd liek to be able to say I selected a Drop Down Menu command without doing any of the selecting the command from the drop down menu (call me lazy, hehehhehhe).

If anybody knows how to do this, that'd be cool if they could show me how or show me where I could learn,

Thanks a bunch

How can I trap the drawing of the checkbox so that i can chage the color in which the check box is drawn ?

Why bother? Just draw some nice looking checkbox icons or bitmaps & put them in the tree's state item image list (TVSIL_STATE). That's where the default ones come from Smile | :)
