Oh, I thought you were trying to do a swap. This is an add, and I'm not sure it has any value over simply adding without the function call. It will not compile if the type in question does not have an operator +. Because your return type is 'int' it also will not compile unless the template argument is a number, and it will give warnings because it will strip floating point numbers down to an int.

Swap would look like this ( except you'd add the template arguments being stripped by the site because neither of us checked 'show message as-is' )

template
void Temp1(X &A, X &B)
{
X Var;
Var = A;
B = A;
A = Var;
}

Frame Control

I was interested in using the "Microsoft Forms 2.0 Frame Control" but this control can't be used outside of VB (If you try it, the "GetObject" method gives you an useless dispatch)so anybody has a similar control or knows how to make it?

Thanks in advance Confused | :confused:

How to put my working application's icon in the notification area?

I need help - how to put my working application's icon in the taskbar notification area (the system tray) instead of its default position in the taskbar when minimized? Shall I change some registry key or…?

There are some samples like:
http://www.codeguru.com/shell/systemtray.shtml

If aplication's window is visible and you don't want
to see it in a bar next to Start button, you have to
hide its parent window (if here is any).
Anyway if you need just put icon to system tray
you can find inspiration in sample above.

You don't even need to enable optimizations for Windows 98 to run programs built with VC7 on 98.

Try to figure out what bugs in your code are causing the program not to work with 98.

CDatabase Open

4-Dec-02 21:42

hello @all,

i connected my mfc program and an access database with ODBC.

<br />
CDatabase db;<br />
db.Open(_T( "MyDatabase" ), FALSE,<br />
FALSE, _T( "ODBC"));

the ODBC driver of my database is called 'MyDatabase'. but when i use this code, the database is not selected. i must select it myself!
what must i change to select my odbc driver from the program (i have to do nothing, after i start the program)?

thanks
mfc

Is there a reason you are using ODBC and not ADO or even DAO?

You'd probably find ADO more friendly and there are plenty of good classes on CP to make it even easier.

Passing handle to other classes...

p833704-Dec-02 21:23

p83370

4-Dec-02 21:23

I created an application with MS Visual C++ 6.0. By doing this the MS Visual C++ studio created some code that uses variables (theApp, m_pMainWnd, m_wndView, m_wndStatusBar). The next thing I did, was creating my own classes (e.g. class CMyClass located in other modules). These classes are not directly related to the WIndows GUI, put perform some kind of I/O.

Now, I want to put the received data in the Client Window of my application (m_wndView) and even put some text on the status bar (m_wndStatusBar). I want to do this from inside my own class CMyClass. I believe I need the correct CWnd handle to do this. So what I'm looking for is a proper method to pass the correct handle to my CMyClass (e.g. in the constructor) and then use this hande inside my class.

Which handle do I need to pass (m_pMainWnd,...) and how do I use this handle to invoke the correct member (e.g. for setting text in the statusbar with the meber SetPaneText)?

Can I find somewhere an example.

P.S.: If you've not noticed by now, I'm a novice.

Thanks !

You don't need to include 'winuser.h' since it is already included in 'windows.h'.
The only thing you need to do is add the following line of code BEFORE you include 'windows.h'.

So your code should like this:

<br />
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500<br />
<br />
#include <windows.h><br />

Hope this gets you along...

Subclassing of floating Toolbar's parent

CEx4-Dec-02 20:52

CEx

4-Dec-02 20:52

Objective : Want to Paint Toolbar's parent when toolbar is in floating state.

Idea : Subclass the Toolbars parent when its in floating state, and handle WM_PAINT/WM_NCPAINT message to do the required drawing .

Problem : I am not able to understand the concept of subclassing Frown | :(

How to subclass ??

following is the code snippet which may help :

<br />
void CMyTB::OnWindowPosChanged(WINDOWPOS FAR* lpwndpos) <br />
{<br />
	CToolBar::OnWindowPosChanged(lpwndpos);<br />
	<br />
	if( IsFloating() )<br />
	{<br />
		if( m_pDockBar && !m_bDone )<br />
		{<br />
			CWnd* pParent = m_pDockBar->GetParent();<br />
			if( pParent->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CMiniFrameWnd)))<br />
			{<br />
                           // Write some Code here to Route pParent's Painting message, so that its painting can be done outside this window. How do I do this , is subclassing a solution ???<br />
				<br />
			}<br />
		}<br />
	}<br />
	else if( m_bDone ) {<br />
		m_bDone = FALSE;<br />
	}	<br />
}<br />

You may be able to set a region. Otherwise you can use masking, just like any bitmap which is being drawn transparently with a colour key. I believe TransparentBlt works this way. You'll need W98 or later, and the Platform SDK.

Use ::CreateRoundRectRgn to create a region with rounded corners. Then call ::SelectClipRgn with your DC that you are going to paint your bitmap onto. The clipping region will prevent your bitmap from painting outside of the rounded rectangle that you create.

Shog9 has listed some articles here on CP that will help you.

Good Luck

How to translate this (masm32 in VC++) ?

Hi,

I need change a Dos-C program with VC++6.0. In the Dos-C program, there is a piece of 16-bit masm code like the following:

-----------------------------------------------------------
_asm {
les bx, SRB
push es
push bx
lea bx, Aspi
call DWORD PTR [bx]
add sp, 4
}

where Aspi is defined as:

void (__far *Aspi)(u_char far *) = (void __far *)0;
srbExecIo *SRB;

typedef struct {
u_char commandCode;
u_char commandStatus;
u_char hostAdapterNo;
u_char scsiRequestFlag;
u_char reserved1[ 4 ];
u_char targetId;
u_char targetLun;
u_long dataAllocLength;
u_char senseAllocLength;
u_char *dataBuffer;
u_char *srbLink;
u_char scsiCdbLength;
u_char hostAdapterStatus;
u_char targetStatus;
u_char *postRoutine;
u_char reserved2[ 34 ];
union cdbAndSense ca;
} srbExecIo;

--------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm a newer for masm32. I used wnaspi32.dll for aspi-scsi management in new VC++ code.
Would please tell me how to change above code into VC++ code ? and some related setting information?

Thanks in advance!

Even if you tell us what the warning sayas you HAVE to show us some code also!
It's impossible to help if you don't show us some code snippets!
Are you returning like:

...
return &myVaribleOrObject;

If yes:
Then I can tell that you can't return an address of a local varible from a function. Show me some code and I can help you!
