Hello, folks,

I am looking for a Win32 API to do disk formatting, i.e, formatting hard disk to FAT or FAT32 or NTFS format.

What Win32 API should I use ? Anybody know ?
Thanks ! Any response would be appreciated !

MDI Initial Document

Say I'm creating an MFC-based MDI application with Document-View architecture. When I compile and run the basic code provided by the AppWizard, I get a main frame with a new document child frame already open in the main frame. But my program will not have support for ID_FILE_NEW. I only want the user to be able to load pre-existing documents. How do I prevent the program from starting with a new empty document?

You can normally use this in your Apps InitInstance

// stop a new document being created if just run normally
if (cmdInfo.m_nShellCommand == CCommandLineInfo::FileNew)
cmdInfo.m_nShellCommand = CCommandLineInfo::FileNothing ;

just before the call to ProcessShellCommand()

Go to your app's InitInstance() method and comment out this bit of code:

// Parse command line for standard shell commands, DDE, file open
CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;
ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo);

// Dispatch commands specified on the command line
if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo))
        return FALSE;

Keeping Row Selected in ListView Control

Hi everyone. Now I know how to select a row in code, so here is another similar question. I have a listview on a dialog, and the first row in the list view is selected on oninitdialog (there is always entries in the list view). Problem is, I don't want the list view to deselect the row if the user clicks whitespace (such as blank area below the last row in the list view). Usually the listview deselects any rows when this whitespace is clicked. I tried the following code, the idea being keep the last row selected before whitespace was clicked, so in effect you can never deselect a row:

<br />
void CMyDlg::OnClickLvwEmails(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult) <br />
{<br />
//	int iSelected;<br />
<br />
	// prevent the user from deselecting an item by clicking whitespace!<br />
	iSelected = m_lvwEMails.GetNextItem(-1, LVNI_SELECTED);<br />
	if(iSelected == -1)<br />
	{<br />
		m_lvwEMails.SetItemState(m_iPreviouslySelectedItem, LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED, LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED);<br />
	}<br />
	else<br />
	{<br />
		m_iPreviouslySelectedItem = iSelected;<br />
	}<br />
	*pResult = 0;<br />
}<br />

This seemed to work, except when the user clicks on the list view in the exact same spot twice with the mouse. Then the last row highlighed would be deselected. But if you click different areas in the whitespace, it keeps the last selected row selected. Anyone know a better way to do this? Thanks!

Perhals it is because in that case the notification message send to the dialog is not the same, like a double click or LVN_BEGINLABELEDIT/LVN_ENDLABELEDIT ?

DECLARE_DYNCREATE/DECLARE_DYNAMIC??

I have a question:
what is the difference bettwen DECLARE_DYNCREATE(CCtrlView) and DECLARE_DYNAMIC(CView).

when and where to use them?

thanks

Both macros are adding the ability to query runtime information with CObject::IsKindOf for the classes. But only classes declared with DECLARE_DYNCREATE are enabled to be created by CRuntimeClass::CreateObject. Normally all views used inside the "MFC-Document-View-Architecture" were created by the framework by a call to CRuntimeClass::CreateObject.

Hope this helps.

A question about scope in VC++6 / MFC

Hello,

I am relatively new to programming for windows, so bear with me. I am trying to write a program that will read class members from a file and store them in an STL vector. Once that is complete, I would like to have a dialogue with various buttons that will perform operations using the members of that vector.
My question, though, is this: Is there any way to have a single instance of the vector that all of the Buttons' functions can have access to? Should it be a global variable? If so, how does one declare a global variable in VC++6?

Thank you

Globals are pretty much always a bad idea. If you put your vector into the dialog/window class, that is where you're going to handle click events for your buttons anyhow.

Creating an object

GREETINGS!

I need an advice. I need to create an object or a simple structure with some dynamic arrays. Should i use CArray class for it, and shall i have the problems with serialization and saving this object? Or is there another way?

Thank YOU.

Good luck!

LOVE & PEACE to everyone

Re: Creating an object

Christian Graus5-Dec-02 17:27

Unless you have pressing reason to use CArray, you should use std::vector, which is much more powerful.

I agree with Christian. std::vector owns! Check out my article, CDataFile[^] for use of it, and reading from a file. I will have an updated version soon that will write to CSV also. But you can use standard serialization if you want.

Show window content while dragging...

Hi,
I was handling WM_SIZING message to keep a aspect ratio for my window.It works fine if desktop properties
"Show window content while dragging" is checked. else it goes crazy.
How can solve this problem?

Regards
Neha

What do you mean it goes crazy? Could you elaborate a little more? Does it not allow you to change the size of the window or something like that?

If you want to force the window to have full dragging mode on while you resize this window you can set that value with ::SystemParametersInfo and the SPI_SETDRAGFULLWINDOWS flag.

Make sure you're not depending on a WM_SIZE handler for correct behavior, and don't be resizing the window (via MoveWindow(), SetWindowPos(), etc.) from within your WM_SIZING handler.

in your code you are using GetWindowRect() function .. ?. If yes then it will not work. At the time when user resizing the window GetWindowRect() returns the old position ( when the Show window content is off)..

Call your Resizing functon in WM_EXITSIZEMOVE Message.
It Will Work All time
