Re: Can a CEdit control do this?.....

27-Jul-02 10:01

I want to populate an edit control with a paragraph. The only way to populate a multiline edit I found is to have
\r\n at the end of each line, so obviously it doesnt look like a paragraph. Do I have to use a CRichEdit, or will my poor CEdit do the task?

Thanks,
ns

You get automatic text wrapping in en edit control when the ES_AUTOHSCROLL style is not set. this way, you can save your precious \r\n's for the paragraph breaks.

Other than that, you would need to use the RickEdit.

Task Bar Funtionality Replication

What's up coders... I am interested in changing the size of the shelltraywnd so that I can have a window similar to the task bar but my own which sits at the top of the screen. Then when any other window is maximized it will think that the bottom of my new task bar or window is the top of the screen and won't go past it.

So in reality I wanna change the height that all windows maximize to on the screen. Right now the go to the top of the screen but I would like to be able to change this so that they only maximize to 200 pixels below the screen and then I can fit an application in there so it sorta simulates what the task bar is doing if it were at the top of the screen.

If anyone could help me or give me some hints as to what this would involve that would be awesome.

Peace Eek! | :eek:

i , all guys here.

I confront a handicap in my VC study , and expect your help.
Now , I am writting a class inheriting CWnd . and I want my class have the function to respond the UI message such as mousedown or keydown etc.
Have some master-hands can solve this problem . If you have some sample classes that can show to me ,please email to me :polosheng@yeah.net. thanks.

Another , I have made a sample class . it can pass the complier,but when linked ,the exe file didn't respond the lbuttondown message.And here is the code. Conld you give me some suggestions?

How To Write Code To Change The Printer Resolution

If my printer set the resolution at 300 dpi and I want to print at the other resolution. How to write code to do that?

does not changing the scaling mode of the print dc affect the resolution of the output?
if not then maybe you have to send some printer specific codes to the device before printing

try to call printer dc (structure) to see printer's characteristics. if it doesn't sucessful you must change printer driver.
Good lack Smile | :)

I tried:

<br />
void CTrain1View::OnReadin() <br />
{<br />
	CString sWriteText; //Where the text will be streamed from<br />
	sWriteText="Rich text is shown here in sample project";<br />
<br />
	// This is hard-coded for example purposes. It is likely this would<br />
	// be read from file or another source.<br />
	EDITSTREAM es;<br />
	es.dwCookie = (DWORD)&sWriteText; // Pass a pointer to the CString to the callback function<br />
	es.pfnCallback = MEditStreamInCallback; // Specify the pointer to the callback function<br />
<br />
	m_richedit.StreamIn(SF_RTF,es); // Perform the streaming<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
  DWORD __stdcall MEditStreamInCallback(DWORD dwCookie, LPBYTE pbBuff, LONG cb, LONG *pcb)<br />
{<br />
	CString *psBuffer = (CString *)dwCookie;<br />
<br />
	if (cb < psBuffer->GetLength()) cb = psBuffer->GetLength();<br />
<br />
	for (int i=0;i<cb;i++)<br />
	{<br />
		*(pbBuff+i) = psBuffer->GetAt(i);<br />
	}<br />
<br />
	*pcb = cb;<br />
<br />
	*psBuffer = psBuffer->Mid(cb);<br />
<br />
	return 0;<br />
}<br />
<br />

but this did not populate the richedit control. Instead it crashed precisely at :

    for (int i=0;i<cb;i++)<br />
{<br />
    *(pbBuff+i) = psBuffer->GetAt(i);<br />
}<br />

In the debug window I could see that the entire string was retrieved, and it entered the for loop even after that. Then crashed. so is it an indexing problem? How to fix it?

Thanks,
ns

nss27-Jul-02 8:01

From the debugger, for some reason (The string is just "Rich text" with length of 9) ,I see that cb =4092, and MSDN said that the loop index is to be less than GetLength = 9. No wonder its crashing. But what is this cb thats being passed in? Helllpp!
Thank you much,
ns

The for loop looks bad. Did you forget to include the condition and the increment in your post? In any case, you can simply copy a CString into a char array (as it looks like what you want to do) by doing:

strcpy (pbBuff, *psBuffer->GetBuffer(0));
*psBuffer->ReleaseBuffer();

Wonder why the loop got mangled in the mail

 DWORD __stdcall MEditStreamInCallback(DWORD dwCookie, LPBYTE pbBuff, LONG cb, LONG *pcb)<br />
{<br />
	CString *psBuffer = (CString *)dwCookie;<br />
	TRACE(*psBuffer);<br />
TRACE("cb is %d",cb);  //debugger says its 4092<br />
<br />
TRACE("getlength is %d",psBuffer->GetLength()); debugger says its 9, correct<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
	//if (cb < psBuffer->GetLength()) cb = psBuffer->GetLength(); //never gets done cause cb is so big!<br />
<br />
//MSDN says loop until length-1, so I forcibly set<br />
<br />
cb =9;<br />
<br />
	TRACE("length is %d",cb);<br />
<br />
	for (int i=0;i<cb;i++)<br />
<br />
	<br />
	{<br />
<br />
			TRACE("index i is %d", i);<br />
		*(pbBuff+i) = psBuffer->GetAt(i);<br />
	}<br />
<br />
	*pcb = cb;  \\this looks weird. cb never changes....not that I can see<br />
<br />
	*psBuffer = psBuffer->Mid(cb);<br />
<br />
	return 0;<br />
}

I'm trying your idea now...
Thanks. Smile | :)

Re: yikes! It did it again!!

The for loop is

for (int i=0;i

nss27-Jul-02 8:43

Re: yikes! It did it again!!

27-Jul-02 8:43

i=0
i less than cb
increment i

Aaargh!

Ravi Bhavnani27-Jul-02 8:45

Re: yikes! It did it again!!

27-Jul-02 8:45

That's what I thought. That's a simple strcpy, so my suggestion should work.

Don't forget to include "\n" at the end of your TRACE() string, otherwise you may need to cross the Atlantic to view the debugger output. Highly inconvenient.
