I have two dialog bars in a CFrameWnd derived class.
Each of the dialogbars have child controls. Is it possible to set a taborder through both the dialog bars? ie, tab on last of dlg1 goes to first of dlg2; and tab on last of dlg2 goes to first of dlg1.

Try to override PreTranslateMessage and do the right thing when VK_TAB is pressed and focus in on last control in dialog bar.

I have a PropertySheet an some propertypages, the problem is that when i click in one of the propertypages (and only this one , lets call it "bad one"), it disappears.
No Error , no crash,nothing ,it just disappears.
This is only in the win98, it the win200 and winXP it runs ok.
When the propertysheet is created , all the propertypages are created and including the "bad one" , if even runs the "bad one::contructor".
But when I click on it , it does not run the "bad one::OnInitDialog".
one more strange thing is that it runs the destructor.
Any one of you had a problem like this??
Any hints?

It may be a control which of non-registered Windows' class. Make a backup copy of your property page and remove controls one by one. Start with nonstandard ones, if they are there.

I've spent most of today trying to get double buffering working in a dialog box.
I know the theory behind it, create an area in memory - draw to that then copy that to the display....
I've tried using other peoples code which all seems to be aimed at the OnDraw() handler with its CDC object, but in OnPaint() you've got to create your own CDC.
This is the core of the code from my OnPaint handler, there's an OnTimer event that Invalidates() the display very quickly so it's flickering like mad.
AFAIKTell it's right, I create a compatible CDC, assign a bitmap to it, draw on that then BitBlt it to the main CPaintDC.
Can anyone please help me out, I'm nearly in tears here. :-/
// Get the size of the client rectangle.
CRect cr;
GetClientRect(&cr);
int m_nDisplayWidth = cr.Width();
int m_nDisplayHeight = cr.Height();
CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting
CBitmap bmp, *poldbmp;
CDC memdc;
int bitplanes = dc.GetDeviceCaps(PLANES);
int bitspixel = dc.GetDeviceCaps(BITSPIXEL);
bmp.CreateBitmap(m_nDisplayWidth, m_nDisplayHeight, bitplanes, bitspixel, NULL);
memdc.CreateCompatibleDC( &dc );
poldbmp = memdc.SelectObject( &bmp);
COLORREF col;
int sp;
CPoint s;
for(int i = 0; i < m_nNumStars; i++){
sp = 255;
col = RGB(sp,sp,sp);
s.x = rand() % m_nDisplayWidth;
s.y = rand() % m_nDisplayHeight;
memdc.SetPixel(s, col );
}
dc.BitBlt(0,0, m_nDisplayWidth, m_nDisplayHeight, &memdc, 0,0, SRCCOPY);
memdc.SelectObject(poldbmp);

try CreateCompatibleBitmap. otherwise, the code looks ok.

Keith Rules CMemDC should work inside OnPaint()...
Are you returning FALSE inside of OnEraseBkgnd() so you avoid redrawing the screen...?

As Chris said earlier I would use CreateCompatibleBitmap to create your bitmap compatible to the paint DC.
I also wanted to add, you could add the MemoryDC and your bitmap as a member variable to your window class and keep that around as long as your window exists, or at least is visible.
That way you would not have to recreate and initialize the memoryDC and bitmap for each paint message. There are a lot of them, and you would probably see an increase in your paint speed this way.
This would also make it possible for your update routine to paint to the backbuffer bitmap that you are creating and you could then have the bitmap blitted to the screen in your OnEraseBackground handler. This would move all of the code from your OnPaint handler BTW.

Thanks guys but...
When I tried using CreateCompatibleBitmap I got a monochrome bitmap for some reason, I might look into that again later though.
Hockey suggested it might be my OnEraseBkgnd, I had to manually add the OnEraseBackground handler and force it to return FALSE but it didn't alter anything.
BUT his idea did put me on the right track, in my OnTimer even I was calling Invalidate() instead of Invalidate(FALSE). 
I already made the other suggestions you made earlier today, storing memDC and bitmap as member variables.
I have one more question though.
Back in the old days when I was using one of the Gnu C compilers instead of bitblitting the backbuffer to the front buffer I'd just swap them round.
So the backbuffer became the screens bitmap and the screens bitmap became the backbuffer for the next drawing cycle.
I've had a quick go at it but it doesn't work. :-/
Like using this instead of a dc.bitblt() statement.
if(usingBack){
dc.SelectObject(backBuffer);
usingBack = false;
}else{
dc.SelectObject(originalBuffer);
usingBack = true;
}
I have a funny feeling it's just not possible to do that though.
Damn I just realised I wasn't selecting the alternative bitmap into the memDC so it'd draw onto that, I'll have to go and do some more work on this...

You cannot select a bitmap into a window DC, that is why that does not work, although it would be cool.
Anyway, when you use CreateCompatibleBitmap, you need to use the WindowDC when you are creating a CompatibleBitmap. That is because right after you create your MEMDC, its bit plane depth is set to 1, and if you use that DC, your bitmap will be set to 1 as well. So the process to create a good bitmap and memdc is this:
<br />
CPaintDC dc;<br />
<br />
CBitmap bitmap;<br />
bitmap.CreateCompatibleBitmap(dc);<br />
<br />
CDC memDC;<br />
memDC.CreateCompatibleDC(dc);<br />
memDC.SelectObject(bitmap);<br />
I may not have the syntax or all of the paramaters correct, but you will need to do something relatively close to this.
By moving all of your painting code to the OnEraseBkgnd handler, you will be able to free your paint routine to only do special add on painting that cannot or should not be placed into your cached bitmap.
Good Luck

Nice one, Thanks Paul!!
Switching to using the CreateCompatibleBitmap has increased the speed of the BitBlt function, I assume previously it was having to convert the one I made into one compatible with the windows bitmap thus slowing it down drastically.
Thanks again!

If I have a structure in CMainFrame how can I access it from another view..
inside my view I tried...
CMainFrame* pMain = (CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd();
pMain->m_MyStruct pStruct;
Gives me a error..
error C2273: 'function-style cast' : illegal as right side of '->' operator
|
|
|
|

Sort of this:
CMyMainFrame* pMain = (CMyMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd();
MyStruct * pStruct=&pMain->m_MyStruct; or, if you want to save yourself a lot of ->s:
CMyMainFrame* pMain = (CMyMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd();
MyStruct& myStruct=pMain->m_MyStruct;

I guess I am kinda confused, the structure that I am trying to access is declared in CMainFrame.. so do i need to create an identical structure in my view then use the code that you posted?
By the way, thanks for the super fast response 
|

so do i need to create an identical structure in my view then use the code that you posted?
No. In the first snippet I posted, a pointer to the structure inside your CMainFrame is declared and set. No duplication is made, you access the one and only structure through the pointer.
As for the second snippet, it does basically the same but using references instead of pointers. If you don't know what references are, use the first form (though it is advisable that you learn about C++ references in some C++ tutorial).

Thanks again.. but in the code you posted..
MyStruct * pStruct=&pMain->m_MyStruct;
What is MyStruct?
Maybe its how i created the structure in CMainFrame.. am I doing something wrong?
struct m_MyStruct
{
CString strA;
CString strB;
CString strC;
CString strD;
int iA;
int iB;
};

The following works perfectly.. Is there a problem doing it this way??
CMainFrame* pMain = (CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd();
CMainFrame::m_MyStruct* pFriend;
Thanks!

Hey,
Its a pretty simple idea really, I'm trying to make a file searcher thats uses a worker thread to do the searching so the user can hit cancel at any time and it won't hang the program. So far the thread is working, it will search and add a list of all the files I want into a CStringArray, but the problem is that I need to use this CStringArray in the main program so it can store the list.
A brief code summary is <br />
---To begin the Thread---<br />
CWinThread* pThread = AfxBeginThread(ListFunc,this);<br />
HANDLE hThread = pThread->m_hThread;<br />
WaitForSingleObject(hThread,INFINITE);<br />
<br />
---To get the search running---<br />
UINT ListFunc(LPVOID pParam)<br />
{<br />
CMyDlg* local = (CMyDlg*)pParam;<br />
local->BuildFileList(local->m_startDir);<br />
return 0;<br />
}<br />
<br />
---To do the actual searching---<br />
void CMyDlg::BuildFileList(CString startingDir)<br />
{<br />
chdir(startingDir);<br />
CFileFind finder;<br />
BOOL bWorking = finder.FindFile();<br />
int counter = 0;<br />
CStringArray pathArray;<br />
pathArray.SetSize(500,500);<br />
<br />
while (bWorking && running)<br />
{<br />
bWorking = finder.FindNextFile();<br />
<br />
if (finder.IsDots())<br />
continue;<br />
<br />
if (finder.IsDirectory())<br />
{<br />
CString str = finder.GetFilePath();<br />
TRACE("str = %s\n",str);<br />
BuildFileList(str);<br />
}<br />
<br />
CString temp = finder.GetFilePath();<br />
if(temp.Find(".wav",0)!= -1)<br />
{<br />
TRACE("Found wav file = %s\n",temp);<br />
temp.Delete(0,(m_startDir.GetLength()+1));<br />
TRACE("wav file now is = %s\n",temp);<br />
pathArray[counter] = temp; <br />
}<br />
filePathArray[counter] = pathArray[counter];<br />
counter++; <br />
}<br />
noOfFiles = counter+1;<br />
filePathArray.Copy(pathArray); <---- Heres the problem as I see it<br />
finder.Close();<br />
}<br />
The problem as far as I know is the filePathArray.Copy function near the end. The filePathArray is a CStringArray defined in the actual Dlg class that I want to store all of the details. But as it is, when the thread ends after a
WaitForSingleObject(hThread,INFINITE);
The filePathArray is empty Does anyone know where I'm going wrong with this thing before I go slightly loopy? At one point I had it copying a list of stuff I didn't want (a list of files in a dir, not .wav files) but I cannot get it to copy anything at all now.
Thanks for looking lads

Try replacing Copy with Append.

hehe, thanks Joaquin, again you're first to chip in an answer
I'll give that a try as soon as I work out the bigger problem I just noticed. Its amazing what you can find out if you add small bits to a TRACE statement. Just found out that when it searches a new directory it resets the counter to 0 so I think I need to fix that first

Just tried it, as well as fixing my counter messup that Append did the trick.
Thanks again

Hi!
I need to create a listview where each row would be multiline i.e. each row would have a normal look with an item for each column and another row (a single line) where I couls display some text... The two lines would actualy be ONE item in the list.
I've read many tutorials and many forum threads but nothing seems to do what I really want.
Does anybody know how to do that? I could be a little more clear if necessary...

CListCtrl provide multicolumn functionality (referred to as items and subitems). Is this what you're after?

Yes... But I want to know how to do something like this:
|Column 0|Column 1|Column 2|Column 3|
-------------------------------------
| item 1 | item 1 | item 1 | item 1 |
-------------------------------------
| Text related to item 1... |
-------------------------------------
| item 2 | item 2 | item 2 | item 2 |
-------------------------------------
| Text related to item 2... |
-------------------------------------
etc...
