Is it possible to know if a control (label) is visible or not using WinApi?
We have to plug into our app with a custom application and need to know if a certain label is visible or not. I know you can show/not show it, but how to know what the state is?
thanks !

There is the obscurely named IsWindowVisible...
It only tells you the visible flag state though - if a parent is hidden, this is too, etc.

Looks like its working. 
We were looking more at message types than real functions, that's why we didn't see it.

So you did not find the WS_VISIBLE style?

Yes, it seems that documentation has a negative effect on a large portion of the developer population these days. We see it here all the time.

so you mean we took the easy way out asking the forum, hoping that someone would know?

No, you took the path of least resistance. An act that becomes addictive for most people and surely results in calamity for a software developer. Something we witness here in these forums, e v e r y s i n g l e d a y.
Good luck, you're going to need it.

You have no idea what we did to look it up. I wanted to proove to the guy who replied that I at least took the effort to look it up in the first place instead of waiting until the answer fell into my lap...

I'm a member for over four years now, this place used to be much, much nicer ...  (and NO I'm not the one making it a bad place)
My two cents...

Ouch, I can feel the icicles hanging from that comment. Beware of frostbites.

In addition to what the other members said, IsWindowVisible[^] will return TRUE if your dialog has the WS_VISIBLE style. If your window is behind another window and not actually visible you will still recieve TRUE.
You can get around this by calling GetClipBox[^] which will return NULLREGION if your window is being completely clipped by another window. In Windows Vista GetClipBox will not return NULLREGION if DWM[^] is enabled because Aero performs blending/transparency effects.

Thanks in advance

Unless you have not written a serializable class, then you should not bother about where to serialize your serializable-class subclasses instances unless serialization is meant to depend on some stuffs.A test rule is to wonder if it's OK to call serialization code from within the serializable-class subclass destructor.

Hi all,
I need to create a pst file programatically using MAPI.
I tried it using oom but that pst is not crateing correctly.
Also tried following mapi code :-
CComPtr pMsgSvcAdmin;
ULONG ulFlags;
HRESULT hr;
hr = MAPIInitialize(NULL);
if (S_OK == hr)
{
hr = MAPIAdminProfiles(0, &m_pProfAdmin);
}
if( IsBadWritePtr(lRet, sizeof(LONG)) )
{
hr = E_INVALIDARG;
}
else
{
ulFlags = 0;
ulFlags |= fMapiUnicode;
hr = m_pProfAdmin->AdminServices(_T("exch_Destination"), NULL, NULL, ulFlags,&pMsgSvcAdmin);
if(S_OK == hr)
{
hr = pMsgSvcAdmin->CreateMsgService(_T("MSUPST MS"), _T("My PST File"), NULL, ulFlags);
}
}
but no luck, CreateMsgService is giving MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND
any pointer would be helpful
thanks

Why? It sounds like you are going about your project incorrectly.

I am using a a derived class from CRichEditCtrl which I got from codeproject.
My application is in mfc.
I am displaying a url in the form of hyperlink in my RichEdit control. Now When I click the url in the RichEdit control i am able to open the same url in a web browser.
My problems starts now as my cursor position is now at the place in the URL where i clicked as a result of which the new text does not apper in the RichEDit Control in a new line but at the place where i click.

So change the insertion point before inserting new text.

Use the SetSel() method.

Hi, everybody, this is my first query in Code Project, so pardon me for any mistakes.
I hv a MDI project. Currently it opens binary image files and displays its data, in few different child frame windows. I m using splitter windows in child frames class(derived from CMDIChildWnd), so i hv some experiance in using them.
My requirement is such that i want a two splitter window in CMainFrame class (derived from CMDIFrameWnd). Pane 1, contains view of a class derived from CRichEditView and Pane 0, should be able to handle child windows as before. For this i created
virtual BOOL OnCreateClient(LPCREATESTRUCT lpcs, CCreateContext* pContext);
in CMainFrame class and tried to create splitter windows in it. But i m not sure what class view to pass to CreatView function for Pane 0. This is what i have coded:-
BOOL CMainFrame::OnCreateClient(LPCREATESTRUCT lpcs, CCreateContext* pContext)
{
if (!m_wndTestSplitter.CreateStatic(this, 2, 1))
{
return FALSE;
}
if(!m_wndTestSplitter.CreateView(0, 0, RUNTIME_CLASS(???), CSize(320, 400), pContext))
{
m_wndTestSplitter.DestroyWindow();
return FALSE;
}
if (!m_wndTestSplitter.CreateView(1, 0, RUNTIME_CLASS(COutputWnd), CSize(320, 400), Context))
{
m_wndTestSplitter.DestroyWindow();
return FALSE;
}
return TRUE;
}

Do you need to place the second splitter window here in "???" ?
|
|
|
|
|
yes, but i don't know what class to put in here, so that it handles child frames as if cmainframe was being used without splitter windows.
