Im using PreTranslateMessage to fetch all keystrokes that are made in a
dialog.
And I return TRUE, just as I should, for each message that I handle.
Everything works, except for F1, F12 and the windowskeys. I recieve the F1 and F12 keystrokes and return TRUE, but they seem to get handled by the application anyway.
F1 launches help, F12 closes the dialog.
How do I resolve this issue?

I've had the same problem recently. Seems like the MFC framework insists on handling F1 even if the PreTranslateMessage tells otherwise. The solution is to override OnHelpInfo and do nothing there. As for F12, my app activates the debugger as though a user breakpoint had been called, but this does not happen when executing the app in non-debug mode (CTRL+F5), so basically I did not investigate the issue further.

You do not need to override OnHelpInfo.
Add this in PreTranslateMessage
// Magical mystical MFC F1 Help msg!
if(pMsg->message == 0x4d)
{
gLog.WriteLogfile("help");
return(TRUE); // Eat it
}

Why don't you use a keyboard hook in order to prevent those keys to be used?
windows keys can only be disabled (or handled in other way than the original one) by using a keyboard hook.
It's easier than it seems and it allows you to handle all the keys you want once you have the main hook structure done.
Hope this helps...

Hi gurus,
I have wasted lots my time with this problem...
I have to print the data which there on a dialog box, as you can say it as the caption of a static box, or data of an edit box or the caption of a command button. I have one format of all control on my dialog, and I want to send that data in the same format to the printer which is connected to my system.
I gone thru some articles about printing in this codeproject site. there i found creating some user defined circles and printing those things.
Is there any body to help me, and any other suggestions are also appreciated.
Thanks in advance
-Srijan

This sounds like you will need to make use of 2 of my printing artcles:
PrintExtension.asp[^]To get print/print preview support into your dialog
and
PrintLongText.asp[^]
which will print out a long line of text in a CString variable across multiple pages. If you can get your data into a string like this then is should do everything that you need (hopefully)

Hi
Is it possible to write our own operators ( I'm not talking about operator overloading ) in C++, like what the language itself offers. For e.g. currently the switch operator does not work with strings it needs constants so if I'm able to write a operator which would be similar to switch but be able to work strings also then it would be great.

You cannot add keywords to the C++ language or change their behaviour excepting the mechanisms offered by operator overloading.

Well, you could probably do crafty stuff with defines, but that's not to be recommended at all
(That reminds me of a bit of microsoft code I saw ages ago that used defines to make Pascal style for loops! arrgh!)

I've been using a way to sorta do switch's on strings. The overall idea is to use a function that converts the string to a number. For convienence and speed I used CRC32. I also created a macro/add-in for DevStudio so that I can just highlight some text and calculate the CRC32. For instance:
switch (Crc32( x ))<br />
{<br />
case 0xde080b5a:<br />
OnLicence();<br />
break;<br />
case 0xb644dd13:<br />
Tabs.ShowPage( 1 );<br />
break;<br />
case 0xb4629e6c:<br />
Tabs.ShowPage( 2 );<br />
break;<br />
}
Personally I think it makes the code pretty readable and maintable (If you ignore how badly the html mangles the spacing). Sure it has to do a bit more work, but the code maintainence is a breeze.

With the proper tools, yes. All I have to do to update a string is highlight the checksum and corresponding string, including the comments, press a toolbar button and it's updated. Perhaps it's just me, but I dislike seeing a bunch of if statements. I'd rather see a switch. Note that I would not attempt this if I didn't have a add-in to regenerate the checksums. I even toyed with the idea of writing a small app that could be used in a pre-build custom step that would automatically refresh or generate any of the checksums. But I haven't run into any problems keeping up to date with the dozen of projects and numerous locations within each project. It just seems to work. If you have a better idea (and don't say a bunch of if's), then let me know. I realize it's not the most elegant, but it is quite efficient and, for me, quite readable.

You need to #include the file that CAboutDlg is defined in.

Here's a weird bug: whenever I clean up my list control (before repopulating it with data), I loop through it and delete memory I allocated for each entry. At the same time, I make a call to the SetItemData() method. The code looks like this:
delete node;<br />
m_PhotoList.SetItemData(i, 0);
For some strange reason, when I do this my OnItemChanging() method gets called. In that method, I set some data (in the node that I created). Obviously, since I've just deleted the node (because I'm cleaning up the list control), an exception is thrown (for accessing memory not available).
Anyone have [b]ANY[/b] idea why this is happening? This has really gotten me stumped...

LVN_ITEMCHANGING sends an NMLISTVIEW struct. The uChanged member tells you what changed in the item, so I bet if you inspect that member, it will contain LVIF_PARAM, meaning the LPARAM (ie, item data) changed. Your handler can ignore the notification in that case.

I have a CFormView that has an edit control, and my program has an accelerator key binding to the Delete key. When I select a word in the edit control and press Delete, the accelerator binding is invoked rather than the word being deleted in the edit control.
So, in other words, I want the delete key to act normally when my edit control has the focus. How can I correct this problem?

I don't think so, if the system locale ( and codepage ) is set to some arabic language country/region, it might work. I know that the resource editor is not UNICODE, and will work in codepage.
but UNICODE will make life easier.

Hi,
I'm doing this project with ATL and I needed to use PumpMessage(..) but it's only available through MFC. So I looked at Mike Dunn's FAQ
http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/cppforumfaq.asp#ui_workerthread[^]
and did this:
void CSomeDlg::ProcessMessages()
{
MSG msg;
while ( PeekMessage ( &msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE ))
{
GetMessage (&msg, NULL, 0, 0);
TranslateMessage (&msg);
DispatchMessage (&msg);
}
}
And I'm calling every few lines of code. Looks to work ok... Is this safe?
Thanks!

It's pretty boiler plate. I reckon that is what MFC is doing, and I'm sure it's safe.
