Okay here is a down and dirty way to read a registry setting. This has worked great for me for years.
<br />
HKEY hKey;<br />
char szProductType[80];<br />
DWORD dwBufLen;<br />
int i;<br />
<br />
<br />
RegOpenKeyEx( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,<br />
"SOFTWARE\\SomeRegKey\\SomeSubRegKey",<br />
0, KEY_QUERY_VALUE, &hKey );<br />
RegQueryValueEx( hKey, "SomeRegValue", NULL, NULL,<br />
(LPBYTE) szProductType, &dwBufLen);<br />
<br />
i = atoi(szProductType);<br />
RegCloseKey( hKey );<br />
<br />
return i;<br />
I'm basically reading in a value from the registry that was saved as a character and changing it to an int and returnig that int to the calling function.
Hope this helps

That code really helped me. I was trying to store a string and load a string from the registry, but the modifications weren't that hard. Thanks! I can finally use the windows registry in a meaningful way for my applications!

I've created a dialog based app. After it runs through the oninit section I want it to run another function to load up some list boxes. How do I call this other function? Before everything was alway driven by events being fired from a button being pressed or something being selected. So how do I call a functon without an event?
Thanks

Tom,
All you need to do is add a member function to the dialog, e.g.
CMyDialogApp::LoadListBox(CListBox* pListBox)
Once you've got your function built, just call it from the OnInitDialog() function.
You can find a more detailed example here: http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/dialogapptute2.asp[^]

Your right. The problem I'm having is that I want the main dialog screen to come up. Then I want to call another function that loads up my list box. If I can't load my list box (getting items from a COBOL database) then I want an error returned back. If I add this call to the function, in my OnInit section to, load the list box, my main dialog window does not come up until after my list box is loaded or has errored out.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks

I'm a little confused on how I do this. I've read the MSDN lib and it still is not clear. Can you give some more info?
Thanks

I have a need to call a Java servlet running in Solaris from Java and VC++ application. Basically i will be doing a http post to a url and sending a UTF-8 encoded GZip compressed XML document. I will get return as XML document from the servlet. I am able to achieve the required funtionality in Java applicaion as follows.
PrintWriter out = null;
connection = (HttpURLConnection) servlet.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setUseCaches(false);
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
out =
new java.io.PrintWriter(
new OutputStreamWriter(
new GZIPOutputStream(connection.getOutputStream()),
"UTF8"),
true);
out.println(argString);
out.flush();
out.close();
GZIPInputStream in = new GZIPInputStream(connection.getInputStream());
BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
output = buff.readLine();
The same functionality i need to implement it in a VC++ application. During my post in the Java servlet it is giving stream not serialized and also i don't know how to do gzip compression for the post operation. I am using the following code,
IXMLHTTPRequestPtr pIXMLHTTPRequest = NULL;
HRESULT hr;
try {
CoInitialize(NULL);
hr=pIXMLHTTPRequest.CreateInstance("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
SUCCEEDED(hr) ? 0 : throw hr;
hr=pIXMLHTTPRequest->open("POST", "http://url.Servlet", false);
SUCCEEDED(hr) ? 0 : throw hr;
hr=pIXMLHTTPRequest->setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml");
SUCCEEDED(hr) ? 0 : throw hr;
hr=pIXMLHTTPRequest->send(bstrString);
SUCCEEDED(hr) ? 0 : throw hr;
bstrString=pIXMLHTTPRequest->responseText;
MessageBox(_bstr_t(bstrString), _T("Results"), MB_OK);
if(bstrString)
{
::SysFreeString(bstrString);
bstrString = NULL;
}
} catch (...) {
MessageBox(_T("Exception occurred"), _T("Error"), MB_OK);
if(bstrString)
::SysFreeString(bstrString);
}
If some one can provide some sample to achive this functionality in VC++ will be helpful.

Work your way through the tutorials here and on MSDN. Oh and get some good books.
If that doesn't help, go on a Training Course.
If that doesn't help, maybe this isn't the career for you.

Hi,
I'm just converting from Visual Basic to Visual C++ so please forgive me if I come across as a dumb ass  . At the moment I'm getting used to Dialogs using messages etc. My question is this - When you press the little button on the combo-box (causing CBN_DROPDOWN message), do you have to write the code that shows the available selections youreself? I'm used to having this done for me . If you don't, does somebody know why no available selections come up when I press the button on my app?
Thanks in advance.
Zak

You probably need to size the list. This is done by clicking on the drop-down rrow of the combobox in de resource editor. Then you can change the combobox it's height. Clicking the drop-down arrow again wil resume to normal sizing of the combobox control.

Ok thats great thanks. I wouldn't have been able to see my strings. But no strings are still showing  This is my code to add a string to the list -
char TestString[] = TEXT("Test");
SendDlgItemMessage(hWnd, IDC_ADAPTER, CB_ADDSTRING, 0L, (LPARAM)(LPCTSTR)&TestString);
There must be something wrong with this - any ideas.
Thanks again

Try it like this:
SendDlgItemMessage(hWnd, IDC_ADAPTER, CB_ADDSTRING, 0L, (LPARAM)(LPCTSTR)TestString);
Your code adds a pointer to a pointer to a 0-terminated string.

Hello,
I don't like wizards, so I decided to things on my own. I set up a project with a formview. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but the CWnd::Create() method just won't be called!
Can anyone please tell me where that method is called and what I have to do for that?
thanks
|

|

Give us the details, pal, and we'll be glad to help you. Why don't you post (part of) your code?
HINT: Check the return value of Create() and see if it returns 0 - if it does, something's terribly wrong.
Hope this helps (give the code, though) ,
Vikram.

Hi,
I just don't know where to call Create(), I can't even find it in the wizards generated code!

You should do it typically (but not always) from OnCreate() in the class that you derive from CWnd or CFrameWnd.

AFAIK, the wizard has no use for this. You'll have to enter it manually. Don't forget to check the return value.
TIP: Get MSDN, and a good book. I'd recommend "Programming Windows with MFC" by Jeff Prosise.

What is the necessary style the a list box must have to display characters such as this correctly: å, ä, ö, Å, Ä
Or is it just a matter of Windows regional settings?
|
|
|
|

I think the only requirement is that you set its font to one that's capable of displaying these chars. Arial seems like a good bet, but I suspect Tahoma (the now-standard Microsoft font) would also work.

I want a button to be drawn fully red, do i need to create my own button class ? Owner-draw button is the way to go ? If so, can you point me too any good article that talks about it ?
Thanks

One solution is ownerdraw via WM_CTLCOLOR.

You can also take a look here in CP at the Button articles in order to find out some classes already done... CButton ST is a good class...
