Getting application ICON from process - C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards

OK, I understand that, what is bothering me is, after reading the MSDN documentation, I don't understand how to get the "Handle to an instance of the module whose executable file contains the icon to be loaded"?

Thanks for your time and excuse my ignorance.

Cheers

The hInstance parameter is passed by Windows to WinMain when an application is started. Use AfxGetInstanceHandle() to get it. If that does not answer you, I don't understand your question. Try rephrasing it and posting again and perhaps someone can help.

This is from memory, so you'll have to check on the implementation details.
When a cell is being edited, it created an "InPlaceEdit" control. This is an
edit box which is subclassed to capture the WM_KILLFOCUS message.

When this is created, the grid control sends you a notification. You can get
the handle / CWnd * of the edit box and send it a EM_LIMITTEXT message.

I hope this helps,

Iain.

Scintilla and lex/yacc/flex/bison

I'm currently trying to use the Scintilla (www.scintilla.org[^]) control in one of our applications. That's rather simple and works.
Problem is that I want to add a colorizer (for our macro language) to Scintilla. It seems like I have to write my own lexer module specifically for Scintilla, which is a pitty since I already have a lexical analyser written in lex/flex, that works together with our parser, written in yacc/bison.
I would like to reuse our lex/flex lexical analyser in the Scintilla lexer.
Anybody done that already ? Or anyone ideas ?
Thanks.

Getting application ICON from process

Is this possible...?

Spy++ has a neat feature where you drag the bullseye over a window and it returns it's info like class info and process ID and thread and such...

I assume I can get the process ID using GetWindowThreadProcessID(), but once I have a window or application process how can I get the module's ICON...???

Thanx in advance!

Cheers!

Have a look at the function

HICON ExtractIcon(
  HINSTANCE hInst,          // instance handle
  LPCTSTR lpszExeFileName,  // filename of file with icon
  UINT nIconIndex           // index of icon to extract
);

hInst should be AfxGetInstanceHandle(); and lpszExeFileName the path to the executable of the process you want to get the icon from. There is a member "szExeFile" in the PROCESSENTRY32 struct, so this should not be a problem. To get the standard icon, set nIconIndex = 0.

Parse the command line parameter of WinMain(), determine if the commandline included help, then print the stuff to screen.

console apps I guess use main() so you have to work with argv and argc

argv is an array (if i remember correctly) of each paramter and argc is a count of the number of array elements...

so argv[0] = test.exe (module name)
and argv[1] would contain the text string help

simple as that really

I need to use WriteConsole for that I have to get the Handle
(Handle to the console screen buffer to be written to. The handle must have GENERIC_WRITE access. )

How to get this Handle??

I used ,
HANDLE hnd =GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); buts its not working and also I used GetLastError() its returning 0 which means program executed correctly

So ??

Are you using WinMain(...) or main(...). If you use WinMain, you have to call the function

AllocConsole();

before calling GetStdHandle(...);

Hi,

In DataTypes.h, I wrote this

typedef struct _DATASTRUCT
      {
         LPCTSTR ID;
         double  value;
         SYSTEMTIME time;
       }DATASTRUCT,*LPDATASTRUT;

and include this header in several classes *.h or *.cpp files,the compiler hint to me that redefination has happened.

Then how to fix this problem?

I'm trying to use CImage in an ATL Active X. I only use methods from CImage Load, Draw and Destroy (which is noting strange). The problem is that when the application that uses the control ends, the DLL of the control can be unload. Any idea of what's the matter ?

How to keep selected items in two List Control Boxes highlighed at same time?

17-Oct-02 21:16

I have two List Control boxes in a dialog. and I wish the user can select a few items from the first list and some items from the second list, and then the user can see all the items he just chose are still highlighted in both lists.

now after i selected one or some items in the first list(they'll get highlighted at this time), when i click in the second list and select items there, the first list will lose focus and the highlighted items in the first list will lose highlighting. Anybody can suggest me how to solve it? thx a lot in advance.

alex.barylski17-Oct-02 23:36

17-Oct-02 23:36

Just a guess, but the list view control has a 'Show selection always' property...

If that doesn't do the trick then you'd have to devise something using owner draw...

Either way only one item can ever have focus so I hope you don't desire the focus rectangle also...?
