Re: How can i disable pressing of special characters(@,#,$,%,^,&,*,~,!) on Editbox control?

You can perform it in three ways.

One is override PreTranslateMessage.

Another one is to subclass your Editbox.

Also there is another one derive your custom editbox from CEditBox, on WM_CHAR message you can disbale special character.

Subclass CEdit and override subclass OnPreTranslate(). you can also do it with the EN_CHANGE event in your dialog class but that would require some logic of storing the string, comparing it with the previous one, finding if the new character is the one which you DON'T want etc etc.
Hope it helps.

Hi,

there is an excellent Codeproject article called CFilterEdit: Use Regular Expressions to filter your input by Ben Hanson. This can serve you well as a base clase for your problem.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/edit/FilterEdit.aspx[^]

There are already some sample derived classes like
* CCurrencyEdit
* CDateTimeEdit
* CFloatEdit
* CIntEdit
* CUIntEdit
* CUIntRangeEdit
* CSpin

So long,
Stefan

Hi all;

i m using this on PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)

if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN && (pMsg->wParam == VK_RETURN))
{
UINT CtrlID = ::GetDlgCtrlID( pMsg->hwnd );
// Check whether its that of your button.
if( CtrlID != IDOK &&
CtrlID != IDCANCEL && )
{
pMsg->wParam = VK_TAB;
}
}
for using both on Tab key and enter key on controls execpt button controls.

The simple solution just remove the tab stop style from button controls.

Hi all,

I am making some connections with gsoap and services as I am looking into an example program I notice why this is possibe:

class CMyCurrencyConvertor  
{
public:
	CMyCurrencyConvertor();
	virtual ~CMyCurrencyConvertor();
	bool GetConversionRate(CString sFromCurrencyCode,CString sToCurrencyCode, double &dRate);
	bool GetConversionRate(ns1__Currency oFromCurrencyCode,ns1__Currency oToCurrencyCode, double &dRate);

Can someone explain to me the double meaning of GetConversionRate()

thanks,
Jayjay

That is function overloading. Allows you to use functions with the same name that do similar tasks. Based on the parameters of the function the compiler decides [runtime] which version of the function does it give a call to.
For eg: if you have to add two numbers irrespective of the parameters to the Add function you can simply write:

void Add(int a, int b);
//or
void Add(float a, float b);

it would really be a bit cryptic if you want to add two numbers and have to write functions as

void AddInt(int a, int b);
void AddFloat(float a, float b);

you would need hundreds of names in case you want to add different types of variables and write functions for them.
In essence function with the same name do similar tasks. In your case they give you the Conversion Rate with different parameter types

Modifying input stream of Video before playing it

tibiz24-Jul-08 11:10

24-Jul-08 11:10

I need some quick help with this problem:

I've created a simple video player using DirectShow.
When I set playing a video file (f.e. wmv) I need do some file decryption (file is encrypted with own algorithm) before playing the movie stream - during reading data from file into DirectShow's stream buffer.

I need some ideas, how can I do this:

> Open video file > fread(buffer, bufflen) / apply buffer decryption -> redirect to DirectShow (apply filters, etc.) -> Play

Thank you for any support

For DirectShow, you'll probably need to write your own transform filter that
decrypts the raw file data and passes it downstream unencrypted.

Thanx, I've done it during today, but created a Source filter (file reader). The transform filter won't work as well

Let me explain my requirement clearly.

I have an exe which accepts command line parameters and one of the command line parameter is a file name. Now i need to input another file while the exe is still running.

Please let me know if there a way to acheive this?

Thanks,

Not possible since the application is only started once, and thus main() is only called once.

Yes. You could have the program prompt the user to supply the new file name.

maybe a solution

may be a solution:

you run the app #1
in MSG processing define an own message, f.e. WM_OWNMSG

run app #2
handle the command line parameters
find/catch the main window of app #1 (f.e. throu FindWindow(...); )
send the cmdline parameters throu SendMessage(FindWindow(...), WM_OWNMSG, (LPARAM)cmdline, (WPARAM)whatWithIt);

You got the communicate between your 2 apps. If the have Windows (HWND) you can post messages with approbiate values. Or make a network connection, write something in registry (file) were the other app have to read repeatedly.

Sure, that is a good way of doing it. But I have a CStatic derived class which can Resize itself to fit the text. If I switch to CEdit I will loose the func.

Any good CEdit with resize functionality.(Not just scrollbar but grow itself if text is too much)

Thanks,
