Hello,
I am trying to dynamically change the texts of the menu items of my main menu. The program should translate the menu items to the local language at runtime. I am using the BCMenu class:
UINT nItem = 0;
CString strItem;
CString strNew;
char *pszSrc = NULL;
while(1)
{
if(m_menu.GetMenuText(nItem, strItem, MF_BYPOSITION) == FALSE) break;
pszSrc = strItem.LockBuffer();
strNew = TRL(pszSrc);
strItem.UnlockBuffer();
if(m_menu.SetMenuText(nItem, strNew, MF_BYPOSITION) == FALSE) { ASSERT(FALSE); }
MessageBox(strItem + " -> " + strNew);
nItem++;
}
m_bMenu = SetMenu(&m_menu);
ASSERT(m_bMenu == TRUE);
The TRL function takes a char * as input and returns a char * to the translated string. This works very well as one can see in the dislayed message box (strItem+"->"+strNew).
The items are translated correctly, but the menu doesn't change. The menu items remain english, untranslated. But the SetMenuText function returns TRUE...
Any idea what is going on?

call DrawMenuBar() for the window. From MSDN:
Redraws the menu bar. If a menu bar is changed after Windows has created the window, call this function to draw the changed menu bar.
Hope this helps,

Nope, that doesn't help. I've changed my code now a bit:
UINT nItem = 0;
UINT nSub = 0;
CString strItem;
CString strNew;
char *pszSrc = NULL;
BCMenu *pSubMenu = &m_menu;
while(1)
{
nItem = 0;
while(1)
{
if(pSubMenu->GetMenuText(nItem, strItem, MF_BYPOSITION) == FALSE) break;
pszSrc = strItem.LockBuffer();
strNew = TRL(pszSrc);
strItem.UnlockBuffer();
if(pSubMenu->SetMenuText(nItem, strNew, MF_BYPOSITION) == FALSE) { ASSERT(FALSE); }
nItem++;
}
pSubMenu = (BCMenu *)m_menu.GetSubMenu(nSub);
nSub++;
if(pSubMenu == NULL) break;
}
m_bMenu = SetMenu(&m_menu);
ASSERT(m_bMenu == TRUE);
The items in the menu (so for example all items in "File", such as "Exit") are translated and shown correctly!
It's just the "main main" menu bar (so the one with "File", "Extras", "View", etc).
The code snippet above is called in OnInitDialog.
Any more idea?

Hi!
I am using the DHTML editing control and I want to add a table so I want to add the code into the html code of the control myself? How can I do it?
Thank you very much for your future answers!
Well... I am a beginner ...

I/m new to VC++. I developed a program which receives a float value via a dialog box (derived from CDialog). This value is a Fahrenheit temparature. Next it performs some mathematics and successfully finds out Centigrade equivalent (a float again). I want this value displayed on the Windows Client Area. How can I? So far I have used CDC::TextOut(int,int," "); this shows a string message but doesn't show the variable's value. Even type casting hasn't helped.
LOOKING FOR YOUR GUIDANCE

To convert a float to a string, use
CString str;
str.Format(_T("%f"), (double)MyFloatValue);[edit]If this doesn't work, remove the (double) cast:
CString str;
str.Format(_T("%f"), MyFloatValue);[/edit]Hope this helps,
Ryan

You've mixed types there. %f is for floats, no need for the cast to double. In fact, the code will break because Format() will expect a float value on the stack, but it will see a double and generate an incorrect string.

That's what I thought, but because I don't usually use floats, I checked MSDN, and the documentation for printf said %f expected a double. Perhaps the docs are wrong.

Ummmm, perhaps you don't realise that 1 is the lowest rating and 5 is the highest
If it doesn't work remove the (double) cast (see Michael Dunn's message above).

Hi,
I'm using dtpcustom to specify my own format od date and time display.(yyyy-mm-dd':'dddd)
English (US) is set as default language of my system.when the locale is set to English(US) the date time picker can show the dddd part as "saturday" in english correctly.when i change the locale to Chinese(PRC),some junk characters are displayed instead of displaying "saturday" in chinese characters. But if i change the default language of the system to Chinese(PRC) and reboot the machine,the date time picker can show chinese characters.
Thanx in advance

You need to change the dialog font to MS Shell Dlg, instead of MS Sans Serif which is the font generated by the resource editor. MS Sans Serif doesn't display double-byte characters. In VC 6 you need to open the .rc file as plain text and change the font. No idea how to do it in VC 7.

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion.I use Arial 9 for my dialog.I tried changing the font to ms shell dlg.but this doesn't serve the purpose.Can you tell me how this is done in IE and other microsoft applications
|
|

|

Using MS Shell Dlg makes the OS use the "Default dialog font", which differs among languages. Setting it to Arial only works if the version of Arial you have on your system contains the DBCS characters. If you get only ||||| then the font doesn't have them.
As a last resort you can always set the font of just the control to SimSun or whatever font you want that can show DBCS chars.

Hi guys,
This is a question on Load Icon in VC 6.
I am giving the code snippet.
This code I have put in OnDraw() function
HICON hicon1;
CDC WordkDC;
HINSTANCE instance;
WorkDC.CreateCompatibleDC(pDC);
instance=AfxGetInstanceHandle();
hicon1=::LoadIcon(instance,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON3));
WorkDC.DrawIcon(100,200,hicon1);
pDC->BitBlt(0,0,1012,668,&WorkDC,0,0,SRCCOPY);
AfxMessageBox("In ondraw if condition");
I am seeing only the MessageBox but not the icon why ??
Instead of the WorkDC if I use pDC I could see the icon.
Can anybody tell what's wrong with my code.
Thanks
Satya

WorkDC is a memory device context - it's not associated with a display device. In order to be able to draw anything in it, it has to be associated with a bitmap for it to draw on. Using pDC works because the device context has somewhere to draw - the screen. To make this section of code work, you'll have to create a bitmap for it:
HICON hicon1;
CDC WordkDC;
HINSTANCE instance;
CBitmap bitmap;
CBitmap *pBitmap;
WorkDC.CreateCompatibleDC(pDC);
bitmap.CreateCompatibleBitmap(pDC, 1012, 668);
pBitmap = WorkDC.SelectObject(&bitmap);
instance=AfxGetInstanceHandle();
hicon1=::LoadIcon(instance,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON3));
WorkDC.DrawIcon(100,200,hicon1);
pDC->BitBlt(0,0,1012,668,&WorkDC,0,0,SRCCOPY);
WorkDC.SelectObject(pBitmap);
bitmap.DeleteObject();
AfxMessageBox("In ondraw if condition");Hope this helps,
Ryan

Thanks Ryan,
It's working

You're welcome
BTW, instead of hardcoding the width/height of the bitmap, you might want to use GetClientRect() to get the dimensions of the client area, and specifiy the height and width from that instead.

Hi!~
The problem is:
in VC++, I created a dialog using the dialog editor, and add a CEdit to it.
From the main program, I want to call and DoModal() this dialog. Before I DoModal it, I want to hide the CEdit control. I am doing it like this:
dlg.m_cedit_control.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
if (dlg.DoModal()==IDOK)
{
......
};
However, the debug assert at the above ShowWIndow line.
Any one know by which way I can get what I want?
Thanks a lot and have a nice day.
(Actually, the dialog is created for multi purposes. So sometimes, before it is shown, I want to display the CEdit to the user so that user can input. But sometimes, I want to hide it.)
|

You can't call ShowWindow() until the edit control is created, ie. until DoModal() is called. Set a flag in the dialog box, and then show/hide the window in OnInitDialog() in the dialog:
dlg.m_bShowEditControl = FALSE;
dlg.DoModal();
...
CMyDialog::OnInitDialog()
{
...
if(!m_bShowEditControl)
m_cedit_control.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
...
}Hope this helps,
Ryan

I created an MFC Extension DLL that when calls checks a file, and condictionally displays a dialog box and quits. It compiled fine.
But
When I went to create a sample app, I added the lib to the project and included the header file from the MFC Extension DLL.. Called teh function:
CPluginMessage mPIM;
mPIM.CheckForInformation("asdf.exe","ASDF","None");
But when I compile the app it throws a fit and says:
--------------------Configuration: asdf - Win32 Release--------------------
Compiling...
asdfDlg.cpp
Linking...
asdfDlg.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: int __thiscall CPluginMessage::CheckForInformation(class CString,class CString,class CString)" (?CheckForInformation@CPluginMessage@@QAEHVCString@@00@Z)

Where under Project Settings would I find that? I looked but couldn't find it.
