1) What kind of control are you trying to owner-draw?
2) Is your control hosted in dialog or form view? If this is the case, does parent have WS_CLIPCHILDREN style set?

Are you handling the WM_ERASEBGND message for both the control and its parent?
In the parent, you need to exclude the child controls rectangle before eraseing the background.
BOOL CScrollbarsView::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC)
{
if (m_ScrollWnd.m_hWnd)
{
CRect clip ;
m_ScrollWnd.GetWindowRect(&clip) ;
ScreenToClient(&clip) ;
pDC->ExcludeClipRect(clip) ;
}
return CView::OnEraseBkgnd(pDC);
}

I've never handled the Parent's OnEraseBkgnd and has flicker free code ???
Wouldn't CLIP_CHILDREN have the same effect...???

Under certain circumstances, you can make a control flicker free itsekf, only to have the parent window erase it. This can often be the case when re-sizing a parent window, which moves around the child windows, erases them in its OnEraseBkgnd, causing lots of flicker. By excluding any child windows from the erase area of the parent, you can make controls flicker much much less.
An example is in my article:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/Scrollbar.asp
This has a dynamically created control which was originally being erased by the parent window every time the form view re-sized. By handling the OnEraseBkgnd correctly, this was drastically reduced.

your control may flicker if it has class styles CS_HREDRAW or CS_VREDRAW... also, for most windows controls, only handling WM_DRAWITEM or OnDrawItem or whatever will not prevent flicker-free drawing because the "LISTBOX" window class for example, has a background brush which is used to erase the client area in certain situations, before WM_PAINT and WM_DRAWITEM are ever called
my suggestion would be to create a new window class and pass every message except for WM_PAINT to the standard listbox window procedure... then, on WM_PAINT, you could do all of the drawing manually

Interesting I never even thought of those bits being set...
I'll have to experiment with those...

I am using API called Read file to read the file.I am using Get file size to find file size.
When i print the value in messagebox ,there are lot of junk characters at last.
How to eradicate this Or any other API to do this.
This is my code
hFile = CreateFile("\\pre.txt",
GENERIC_READ,
0,
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
NULL);
DWORD BufferSize;
char szMsg[128];
if(hFile)
{
BufferSize=GetFileSize(hFile,NULL);
}
char *sFileContent;
DWORD BytesRead;
sFileContent=(char *)malloc(BufferSize);
SetFilePointer(hFile,0,NULL,FILE_BEGIN);
if(ReadFile(hFile,sFileContent,BufferSize,&BytesRead,NULL))
{
MessageBox(NULL,sFileContent,"value",MB_OK);
}
|
|
|
|
|
After your call to ReadFile has succeeded, you must zero-terminate the string. To be able to do this you must first allocate one byte more than the filesize, and then do
sFileContent[BufferSize] = '\0';
|
|
|
|
|
I would add also
sFileContent=(char *)malloc(BufferSize+1);

That's what the part reading "To be able to do this you must first allocate one byte more than the filesize" was intended for.
Though one would never have to work this hard using C++:
std::ifstream foo("filename");
std::string bar;
foo >> bar;
if (!foo.fail()) {
MessageBox(NULL,bar.c_str(),"value",MB_OK);
}

Hi friends,
I built an MFC project in win98 machine, vc6.0. I could run my program. Now I want to run this program in another machine without loading VC++ in that. What I did I copied the necessary dlls into that system manually and tried to run my exe. I am getting this error: "The xxx.exe file is linked to missing export:MSVCRTD.DLL:chkesp" and "A device attached to the system is not functioning". What does it mean? can anybody help me? Thanks;

You are trying to run a debug build. You are legally not allowed to redistribute msvcrtd.dll, and therefore can't really distribute a debug build unless you link statically to the CRT (libcd.lib).

hi,
Basically, this error means that something looking for
of MSVCRTD.DLL (the MicroSoft Visual C RunTime Dynamic
Link Library) is finding a different (probably older) version/ or it is absent. The version it is finding does not have the all the exports (places that things calling the DLL can enter by) that the version it wants has.

Hi everyone. I recently wrote a program which saves data into a CSV (comma separated value) file. I searched and was unable to find the exact specifications for the format. Since each data string is surrounded in quotes in the file itself, how do I handle quotes in the data string itself? Do I leave them, and only change the commas between quotes, which signify a break between strings? And if I change them, what do I change them to? One CSV file I downloaded had the quotes in the strings changed to %22's. Anybody know more or where I can find more info, so my CSV is compatible with other programs which may read it?

Turns out one doubles up quotes within the data string. Thanks for the link!

1) is it good practice, or even possible, to have one class factory produce instances of many different COM classes?
i'm trying to make a scripting engine using IActiveScript and such, but i have multiple COM classes implementing IActiveScript, IActiveScriptSite, etc... but I don't want to have a class factory for each one
any thoughts?
2) example: a IActiveScriptError pointer gets passed to the OnScriptError function of an IActiveScriptSite... should the function call the script error pointer's Release method or is that not necessary?

Q2. [in] parameter must be never released in the called function.

If you are using Norton Anti-Virus 2001/2002, and your operating system is Windows 2000 or Windows Xp, and your programming IDE is Visual C++ 6.0, please be warned that you might lose your hard work with a mysterious reason.
Usually, if you are using above listed products together, you will frequently get this error message while programming, "Cannot save file, the file is being used by other applications.".
It is OK if it happens when you are on the code editor, it can be solved by simply save the file again, so it dosen't hurt much, although annoying.
But, a big BUT here, if at the exact moment you are using class wizard, one of your files will be permanently deleted by Norton Anti-Virus from your disk, it could be either the .h or .cpp of the class you were manipulating using class wizard, usually the .cpp. That deletion is permanent, there is absolutely no way to recover that file from disk. If you close Visual C++ now, you lose that file forever, it could be a project that you've been working on for weeks.
Solutions? Well, there are a few, from my personal experiences:
1, Once that happens, calm down. Firstly check on hard disk see if the file is deleted, if it is, immediately use your Visual C++'s "File view" feature and find that file in file list, that is possible because Visual C++ keeps files in memory event after they're deleted from disk, unless it requires the memory space for something else. If the file still exists in "file view", open it, copy all source code to clip-board, create a new file on disk and paste the contents from clip-board, congratulations, it's back.
2, Do not use Norton Anti-Virus on Windows 2000 or Windows Xp. The bug does not exist on Windows 98/ME.
3, Well, this is my personal opinion and CodeProject.com does not hold and responsibility for this, simply stay away from Norton Anti-Virus. And no, turning "Auto protect" off does NOT help.
Hope this info helps.

don't scare me, i don't use Norton.
don't scare urself, u made a mistake obviously:
if a file is deleted from disk, u can't recorver it by 'file view'. info for 'file view' is in file '*.dsp', not in memory, and only with file name, not file content.
don't argue with me now: delete a file manuely then try recorver it ...

then you don't know what you're talking about, in this case.
this exact situation has happened to me a number of times. NAV and ClassWizard / ATL Wizard / etc will sometimes collide and the files that were being edited by VC get truncated to zero bytes. luckily, i've always been able to find the temp files in my system temp folder that VC was using for my source files. i'm not 100% sure i'll always be so lucky. yes, i've told NAV to ignore .CPP and .H files.
i am constantly getting that "current file is being used by another application" message. like, 1/3 of every time i have to build.
NAV + VC + 2K is risky.

I wish you have tested what you said... Anyway, open a project, open a source file use file view(so make sure that file is loaded into memory by VC++), then delete that file from disk manually, now back to file view and see that file and all its contents are still there, you can copy them to clipboard.
Anyway, if you never encountered the problem then good, really good because it's not a good thing to lose a source file that you've spent hours on. But I know it's not only me that had the problem so I just wanted to warn others who could potentially lose their works.

thankx a lot....now we can notice the situaion even i dunno use the same config...oherwise all of the peoples here waste their time and fill up the Codeproject discussionboards with that problem...here someone try to argue with u..but they dunno lok on the actual problem...if it really happen try to findout some solutions...PLEASE dont fight here...

I am running win2000, Norton AV 8.0 (2002) and C++ 6.0 and never had a problem like that. Maybe it is a different version of AV? Or a WinXP issue? That does sound very serious, I hope Norton or MS addresses that.
