Why would your server program run your code via Visual C++ in debug mode ? Unless I read you wrong, you're saying you get a trace message, right ?

I lead a team of developers of different skill levels. The assertions are the only way to let someone know where the problem is. We get all sorts of crap data sent from the users, which manages to set up "impossible" situations that were not trapped in the code. The asserts capture the condition, I just wish I could get them to write to a file and hopefully let the programs continue on their way

So, if you must, write your own replacement for assert. It's just a macro. Personally I'd never use assert in the way it sounds like you're using it.

Assert is supposed to be disabled as soon as you move out of a debug environment. It's for checking that your program is doing what you thought it was, not for checking your users are doing what they ought to do. That's input validation which, in a serious production application, is usually a significant proportion of the program code.

An assert failure ought to ring alarm bells.

However AFAIK an assert failure just raises an exception. You can probably catch it and do what you like with it.

AVIFileOpen error

I've written an application that plays AVI files, and has no problem opening them, with one exception:

I took some open-able AVI files and burned them onto a CD. Then, when I tried to open them directly from the CD or after copying them from the CD to the hard drive, AVIFileOpen returns the error AVIERR_FILEOPEN. The process of burning the files onto the CD did something to cause this, however the files still play fine in Windows Media Player. This is a big problem, and I haven't been able to find out anything about what causes the FILEOPEN error. If any of you have any ideas, I would greatly appreciate them Smile | :)

Check out _fcvt (Converts a floating-point number to a string), take the resulting string's length and subtract the decimal-point position.

if you want the digits to the LEFT of the decimal point, use this:

// Assuming this:
char cString[128];
float myValue = 123.456;

// do this
sprintf(cString, "%.0lf", myValue);
int digits = strlen(cString);

If you want the numbers to the RIGHT of the decimal point, it's pretty much up to you how many there are, but I would try it this way:

// Assuming this:
char cString[128];
float myValue = 123.456;

// do this
sprintf(cString, "%lf", myValue - floor(myValue));
// since what you end up with in the formatted string is "0.456", just
// get the length of the resulting string and subtract 2 for the "0." 
// portion.
int digits = strlen(cString) - 2;

Now, which one were you after?

Why can't I write text on of my CButton

14-Aug-01 11:24

Would you know what's wrong with this code?

CArray<cbutton, cbutton&=""> m_COMOnlyButtonArray;
/ctrlRect 's height is 32
BOOL bOK = m_COMOnlyButtonArray[nDex].Create("ab",WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_PUSHBUTTON, ctrlRect, this, pCtrl->m_GuiCtrlId);
m_COMOnlyButtonArray[nDex].SetFont(&m_font);

//The button is created but I don't see the text on the button????

Re: Why can't I write text on of my CButton

14-Aug-01 11:41

What happens if you comment this line? ->

m_COMOnlyButtonArray[nDex].SetFont(&m_font);

Do you need to set your custom font?

CRichEditView problem w/ default appwizard app

Amit Jain14-Aug-01 8:55

Amit Jain

14-Aug-01 8:55

Let's say I create an SDI app w/ Appwizard using a CRichEditView instead of a regular view. (could be mdi for all i care, also has compound document support since cricheditview demands it)

When I compile and run the sample, it should run right? It shouldn't actually do anything since I haven't implemented anything, but it should at the very least run and let me type text, right? I'm thinking this way because when I create a default project using CEditView (doesn't ask for or need compound document support), it works fine, sort of.

Anyway, this is what I get in the trace window, but I'm not sure how to proceed. Any ideas/pointers?

I've just created empty MFC app with CRichEditView using AppWizard. Everything works fine, no such thing like memory leaks. The dump you've posted contains lots of stuff, looks like something is terminating your program prematurely.

See, it's strange that you can do that because I get the bad results on my work pooter (nt4 sp6) and at home (98se).

Even stranger is that I just found out the program will run just fine if I compile using the Release config instead of Debug.

On deja, I found a guy with almost the same problem who said he had to uninstall and completely reinstall everything. Since this is problematic at work, I'll try it when I get home...

Thanks for trying though

Try overriding ExitInstance in CYourApp and put a breakpoint there. Check if ExitInstance is called.

I had trouble w/ the richedit class for a while, and I believe if you
add Automation support to your app in step 3/6 during the application
creation process, it will cure you ills. (It's a checkbox option toward the
bottom of the dialog during creation)...hope that does the trick, if not let
me know and I can find out for sure. G'luck.

And that worked for me. If anyone has this problem, this is what you try. If anyone else can figure out WHY this is the case, I'd love to hear it...

HTML Help

14-Aug-01 8:13

I'm trying to link an HTML help document into my existing application. I have tried using Microsoft's method of ID_HELP_FINDER however have discovered its wanting a WinHelp document and not a HTML Help document. Does anyone know how I might be able to tweak my application so that I will accept the HTML Help file?

Also I'm noticing that apps created using VC++ with the context sensitive help on automatically run MakeHelp.bat. I'm wondering if having the .hm file in a folder called External Dependencies might trigger this event, however I'm having problems figuring out how this folder gets created by VC++. Does anyone know the sequence of events for this to happen?

Thanks!

How to dynamically modify menu in MDI app

JerzyPeter14-Aug-01 6:26

JerzyPeter

14-Aug-01 6:26

Hello everybody!

I´m writing a MDI app. Application Wizard generates two menus:

One (IDR_MAINFRAME), which is displayed when no document is open, the other (IDR_XXXTYPE) when there is at least one document opened.

This code below (from CMainFrame::OnCreate) modifies the first menu. I want to do the same modification to the other menu.

How to do that?

Thank you for any comments.
Jerzy

CMenu PopupMenu;
PopupMenu.CreateMenu();

for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
{
CString str;
str.Format("Item %d",i);
PopupMenu.AppendMenu(MF_STRING,IDM_ITEM+i,str) ;
}

CMenu *m=GetMenu();
m->AppendMenu(MF_POPUP¦MF_STRING,(UINT)PopupMenu.m_hMenu,"&Items");
PopupMenu.Detach();

Use GetSubMenu to get the proper menu and continue as you have been.

14-Aug-01 9:39

Hi,

I don't know what you mean to use GetSubMenu()?

This code is working, it ataches a new popup to the main menu.

The problem is that it ataches this submenu to the IDR_MAINFRAME menu (after main frame is created). I need to do the same for IDR_VIEWTYPE menu. I don't know in what moment that menu is created. If I use this code in that moment, the new popup would be attached to IDR_VIEWTYPE menu.

Jerzy

The handle of the IDR_XXXTYPE menu is accessible through public data member of the CMultiDocTemplate class, it's called m_hMenuShared.

14-Aug-01 11:30

Hi Tomek,

Thanks for the solution. It works - it ataches a new popup to IDR_XXXTYPE menu.

But the problem is that I don't know where this code should be placed. If I put it in OnCrete() of ChildFrm, then the new popup is atached as many times as ChildFrm frames were created.

MSDN says something that this menu is loaded during the construction of the document templates. Can I override this?

Thanks for any suggestions.
Jerzy

You should add popups after creating new CMultiDocTempltate, in CYourApp::InitInstance.
