I'm pretty sure there's a clever template solution to this problem, but from looking at your example, I'm thinking it doesn't need to be too complicated.

Going on the assumption that your variable will be named with the same value as it holds (such that VARn = n), then you can create a simple macro that defines it, like this:

#define DEFINE_INDEX_VAR(prefix, number)  const int prefix##number = number
 
void something()
{
  DEFINE_INDEX_VAR(A, 0);
  DEFINE_INDEX_VAR(A, 1);
...
  DEFINE_INDEX_VAR(Z, 1000);
}

Alvaro

Hi !!

This is a little stupid question but I don't know how to make it Smile | :)

I derived a class from the CStatic class and I draw the control myself in the Paint() function. But know I want it to have the "normal" grey color (the color of a standard push button for exaple) in the background. Does anybody know the RGB color code of it ?

Thanks

Thanks but it's not the same gray Frown | :(

So, it's quite ugly because I use this control on a form so the colors are not exactly the same

uhh, bad idea - the color depends on your os settings.

use ::GetSysColor(COLOR_BTNFACE)

that should do it.

I have two files:
a.txt:
20020102,23.0
20020103,23.0
.............
20021220,23.5
b.txt:
20010101,22
20010102,25
...........
20010301,35
Now I want to append the latest datas of the file "a.txt" to the file "b.txt". How could I do ! Please tell me the easy way to do it!
The focus is: I want appending the "latest" datas of a.txt to the file bb.txt
The latest datas in the file a.txt are the datas that are not included in the file b.txt.
Note: i only want to append the datas that the b.txt is not included.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,

1. Is it possible to remove the right scrollbar of a WebBrowser control ?

2. In my control I load a page that open a new window with ad every 2 minutes, so i wrote this code to prevent this :

void CBrowserDlg::NewWindow2Explorer(LPDISPATCH* ppDisp, BOOL* Cancel)
{
*Cancel = TRUE;
}

The problem is that if I click on a link, and that link try to open a new window, it will be blocked, so is it possible to intercept the URL of the page that is going to be opened ?

I am doubtful that removing the WS_VSCROLL style would do much (especially since, from what I remember, several windows are embedded, not only one). After all, scrollbars are dynamically set and are part of the web browser.

Monitoring dialling - how?

Mark Otway31-Mar-03 0:08

Mark Otway

31-Mar-03 0:08

Hi all,

I'm trying to find out how I can 'get into' the ras dial process before a connection is established. Basically, I need to be able to measure the time it takes to carry out the various stages of dialling a connection - whether or not it's my app which instigates the dial.

Currently, I measure the dialling stages (dial, connect, auth, projection, etc) if I dial myself (using a RasDialFun and RasDial). I can measure the timings for the later stages of a dial (everything from Auth onwards) by using RasConnectionNotification to indicate a new connection being made, and then by polling with RasGetConnectStatus to see the later connection stages change. However, I have no way of detecting a new dial occurrence before the physical link is established.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to detect the dialling as soon as it occurred, and monitor the time it takes for the call to be answered (including failures, such as line engaged, etc) for *any* connection, instigated by any app (or even the user dialling via DUN). Is this possible?

Thanks

Mark

I assume you are using the callback in RasDial e.g. RasDialFunc(UINT unMsg, RASCONNSTATE rasconnstate, DWORD dwError) and checking rasconnstate for all states such as RASCS_OpenPort

If not I can post the states I check.

I never managed to check for a line engaged, what happens is when a line is enaged you get a timeout notification, I would like to teminate the call on an engaed tone, so if you find out how I would be very interested to find out how you did it!

That's exactly what I'm doing, and it works perfectly - as long as I perform the dial myself.

However, I also want to monitor the dialling even if it's performed by another app, or by the user manually starting a connection via dial-up networking. In the latter case, whilst I can get an HRASCONN handle by enumerating RAS connections, it only 'appears' after the RASC_Auth status occurs - meaning I can't time the actually dialling part of the connection unless I initiate it.

Regarding the engaged error issue, I'm not sure - but it's something I have to handle/detect, so if I find a solution I'll post it back in this thread. Big Grin | :-D

Prb with PreCreateWindow

Hi guys,
I want a SDI window without minimize, maximize buttons with maximized window. I have overwritten the PreCreateWindow's CREATE STRUCTURE like this:
cs.style=WS_MAXIMIZED | WS_OVERLAPPED | WS_SYSMENU | WS_BORDER; I am getting the window without the buttons but not maximized. What could be wrong??
Thanks in advance.

An easier way to do this is to go in the InitInstance(à function of your App-derived class. It's in this function that the function is created.

Find these lines:

<br />
        m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);<br />
	m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow();<br />

and replace them by these ones:

<br />
	m_pMainWnd->ModifyStyle(WS_SYSMENU, NULL);<br />
	m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);<br />
	m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow();<br />

MPEG-1 length how?

Philip Patrick30-Mar-03 22:34

Philip Patrick

30-Mar-03 22:34

How can I retrieve an information about length (either in time or frames) from MPEG-1 file? I mean raw, without using any tools, not DirectX too.
The problem is that using DirectX and some other SDK, I'm getting different results, since I've seen in the past that DirectX had several bugs (when working with MPEGs), I can't say for sure which one is right. The difference I get is 24 frames (25 fps, which is almost a second).

Thanx

Here's some header info for the MPEG file format which should help you:

1-4 byte Sequence header In Hex 000001B3
12 bits Horizontal size In pixels
12 bits Vertical size In pixels
4 bits Pel aspect ratio
18 bits Picture rate

Mind the difference between bits and bytes here. Only the sequence header is four whole bytes, the rest are all a certain amount of bits.

The picture rate stands for a certain frame rate:
1 = 23.976 frames/sec
2 = 24
3 = 25
4 = 29.97
5 = 30
6 = 50
7 = 59.94
8 = 60

Yep, thanx, found this one too, but it doesn't give me an info about the length... More I'm reading, more I'm thinking that there is not actual length is written into MPEG file... Frown | :(

Anyway.. Vitec (SDK) does a good work, unlike DirectX, which couldn't be used for a frame-accurate editing Frown | :(

VC6 JIT Debug not working

peterchen30-Mar-03 22:05

30-Mar-03 22:05

After upgrading to WInXP pro, JIT Debugging isn't working anymore.
I completely disabled error reporting, but this didn't help.
VC++ options has JIT debugging enabled.

The application shows a msg box with the exception, and OK / CANCEL.
I click Cancel, VC++ pops up, goes into "Debugging" layout, displays the same exception again, this time only with an OK button. OK terminates the debug session.

Wasn't a big problen until now - but now I have an "issue" that appears only with release builds (seems to be performance-dependent, i.e. appears in an "release build with debug info" too), and only if I don't start it under the debugger.

Any ideas?

CScrollView::OnPrepareDC asserts

baggioluo30-Mar-03 21:44

30-Mar-03 21:44

As part of my MDI program I created a CMyScrollView class derived from CScrollView. I've overrided the following functions: OnInitialUpdate,OnUpdate,OnSize,OnPrepareDC,etc. In OnInitialUpdate I've called "SetScrollSizes". Everything went well when there's only one file opened, but when I clicked the "new" toolbar button or opened another file, the following MFC codes asserted(in CScrollView::OnPrepareDC(...) from viewscrl.cpp):

#ifdef _DEBUG
if (m_nMapMode == MM_NONE)
{
TRACE0("Error: must call SetScrollSizes() or SetScaleToFitSize()");
TRACE0("\tbefore painting scroll view.\n");
ASSERT(FALSE);
return;
}
#endif //_DEBUG

and the call stack showed:

CScrollView::OnPrepareDC(...)
CMyScrollView::OnPrepareDC(...)
CView::OnPaint()
CWnd::OnWndMsg(...)
CWnd::WindowProc(...)

Where does my codes go wrong? Can anyone help me?
