Hi. I am sure you can help me.
I want to write a program that just detect that a device has been changed. And in my program it is not concerned which device is changed. I have been trying for 15days but not able to handle windproc function. I am not getting any clue how to handle this function. Please send me a sample code. Please please please. I am getting really sick of this. Send me at john.alex.programmer@gmail.com. Please help me. PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ.

Hi Alex,

Did u try with the WindowProc(...) and if(message == WM_DEVICECHANGE ) inside it? This will be triggered if there is any change in the device connected to the system (Like plugging and Unplugging)

I have tried. But you know the main problem with me is that i dont know how to write windproc function and what are the parameters. I just want a running sample of windproc function. Then I will definitely do. Thanx.

LRESULT ClassName::WindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
// TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class
if(message == WM_DEVICECHANGE )
{
}

return CDialog::WindowProc(message, wParam, lParam);
}

Note : In the first line when i say ClassName it is your respective class name.

Hi

I am using a multidocument application.

CMultiDocTemplate* pDocTemplate_Digi;
pDocTemplate_Digi = new CMultiDocTemplate(
IDR_DIGITAL,
RUNTIME_CLASS(CDDRUDoc),
RUNTIME_CLASS(CChildFrame), // custom MDI child frame
RUNTIME_CLASS(CSuperGrid1View));

my view CSuperGrid1View is inherited from CFormview.
I want to disable the scroll bars that is coming default in my view.

BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
// TODO: Modify the Window class or styles here by modifying
// the CREATESTRUCT cs]

cs.style &= ~WS_EX_RIGHTSCROLLBAR;
cs.style &= ~WS_EX_LEFTSCROLLBAR ;

if( !CMDIChildWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
return FALSE;

return TRUE;

}

I did the same in CSuperGrid1View::PreCreateWindow(..)

But it is not disabling.Can anybody help me please.

Regards
Deepu

A form view derived class will automatically show its scroll bars if the client area assigned to it is smaller than the dialog resource used to create the form with. This is so that the controls can be scrolled into view.

To remove the scroll bars you need to handle the WM_SIZE message for your form and call SetScaleToFitSize(cx, cy) (function name from memory with no docs available, may not be precise) function which is part of CScrollView, a base class of CFormView. You may also need to resize/reposition controls on your form so make full use of the available space.

If you already have a handle to the window that you are expecting to be open then use functions

1. IsWindowVisible
2. IsWindow - To check validity of window handle

After clicked on Retry button of debug assertion failed dialog box, its focused on afxwin2.inl
on this line.

_AFXWIN_INLINE BOOL CWnd::IsWindowVisible() const
	{ ASSERT(::IsWindow(m_hWnd)); return ::IsWindowVisible(m_hWnd); }

Call IsWindow before IsWindowVisible since the check for visibility can only be done on a valid window handle.

Should be something like

if( !::IsWindow( m_Dlg.GetSafeHwnd() ))
{
  // Window handle invalid recreate...
  m_Dlg.DoModal();
}
else if( !::IsWindowVisible( m_Dlg.GetSafeHwnd() ))
{
  // Don't know how much this will be useful since modal dialog boxes 
  // are always destroyed on close
  m_Dlg.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
}// End if

For this you should create modless dialog and show/hide as required.

If it's a single threaded function, the main thread will be blocked if you've already called "DoModal" (which means the window is visible". So you will not be able to execute the any other functions during this period (sure you can get paint messages and some other notifications to your parent window).

In which case, it's required to check the windows is showing or not?

How about using a flag to detect this?

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

YOu can use PrivateProfile Set/Get functions[^]to manipulate INI files. Please note that INI file formats are deprecated. If possible to switch to XML file format.

.INI files contain one or more sections. Each section begins with a section name, which is followed by zero or more entries. An entry associates a keyname with a value. The general format is:

[section]
keyname=value

Use GetProfileString()to retrieves the string associated with a key in the specified section of the ini file.
