Hi,

I try to show a bitmap in my dialog based app. using the static control. I use this code:

CBitmap bmp_1;
bmp_1.LoadBitmap(IDB_BITMAP_1);

m_Bmp.SetBitmap(bmp_1);
m_Bmp.Invalidate();
UpdateData(FALSE);

This works good under Windows XP but not under windows 98.

What do i wrong??

Thnks

Hi Nishant!

I think the problem to create a NON MODAL CColorDialog, CFontDialog, ... is that there is no template id for the Create(...) function! The DoModal() function of this dialogs will end in an API call!

CModeLess *m_pmodeless = new CModeLess(this);
m_pmodeless->Create(CModeLess::IDD);
m_pmodeless->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

For CColorDialog or CFontDialog there is no IDD!

Here is a rather sneaky way of showing a modeless color dialog :-

//Use it at your own risk
void CYourDlg::OnBnClickedButton1()
{
	CHOOSECOLOR cc;                 
	ZeroMemory(&cc, sizeof(CHOOSECOLOR));
	static COLORREF acrCustClr[16]; 		
	cc.lStructSize = sizeof(CHOOSECOLOR);
	cc.hwndOwner = NULL;
	cc.lpCustColors = (LPDWORD) acrCustClr;	
	cc.Flags = CC_FULLOPEN | CC_RGBINIT;	 
	ChooseColor(&cc);
}

Serial port communcations? I will spare the code for now but I'm having a problem I cant finger out. Not sure if overlapping will help either. I'm new to serial comm routines... If you think you can help send an email to mfeik@comporium.net. If you would like to look at my code I'll send it.. I thought this was going to be a simple dialog box interface but my reads are not proving this to be the case

There is a serial MFC class here (somewhere, sorry I'm to lazy to search the link). I used it to communicate with a microcontroller once and exchange data, it worked well.

Question about Dlls

CEx24-Oct-02 21:54

24-Oct-02 21:54

Lets say I have two extension dlls Dll1 and Dll2 and an Application MyApp. Now following is the scenario.

Dll1 uses Dll2.
MyApp requires Functions from Dll1 and some functions from Dll2.

Now the question(s)

1) In case of Extension Dlls , where does this Dll gets loaded? withing the memory space of MyApp ? or outside the memory space of MyApp ?

2) Since Dll2 is used twice , a) directly from MyApp, 2) indirectly through Dll1. So is it going to cost any how on performance ? in terms of memory or any other way ?

If yes then what should be the alternative ?

No, the OS uses memory mapping. Each DLL is loaded once into a global memory space and then the required DLL memory is mapped onto the applications process space. So no matter what you do each DLL will only ever be loaded once.

Good implementation ??? (struct, STL vector)

Daniel Strigl24-Oct-02 21:29

I have to implement a list that stores 2 strings and a pointer.
I have created a struct that hold this things:

struct TEST
{
    CString s1;
    CString s2;
    int*    pInt;
};

The struct holds the 2 strings and a pointer.
(CString because it's easy to handle in UNICODE and non UNICODE systems)

As next I have created a list with the STL vector class:

vector<TEST> myArray;

So, I can work very simple with my struct (example):

for (...)
{
    TEST t;
    t.s1   = _T("string 1");
    t.s2   = _T("string 2");
    t.pInt = NULL;

    myArray.push_back(t);
}

Do you think it's a good implementation or is there something I could do better (memory, make something faster, ...) ???

reserve() memory for elements or you have lots of (expensive) relocations. alternatively you can use a std::list.

Why Microsoft decided to stop Supporting WTL ?

Hi,

I have to make an COM component with ATL, that needs some fancy GUI interface, it seems that WTL is the best thing to develop something cute and lightweight, but.... I'm wondering... Why Microsoft doesn't support that ? Is there something wrong on there ? Would be a better idea to try to make it with .net framework and forget ATL ?

Thanks in advance, Greetings

The questions here are: do you use MS support? Will you use MS support?
How long does this project will last? If a long time project, IMHO, don't use WTL, or you'll be using VC 6.0 in your 22GHz 128-bit processor in 2008, running Microsoft Linux.
