That's the funny thing. I tried installing Visual .Net on the XP machine and get the same error. Is there such a thing as msvcr71d.dll? I mean Visual Studio (the latest) is 6.0, Visual .Net is 7.0. Is there a Visual .Net version 7.1. Thank you for the help.

We've already tried installing the Visual .Net on the XP machine. It did nothing for me. It suggests that I re-install .NET Frown | :(

I don't know why should even need .Net to run the app. I don't expect to need Visual Studio to run Word on my PC. This is simply too strange. Thanks for all the help.

Tracking a CWnd window

18-Jul-03 1:46

For support of tracking CWnd window I use the following sequence.

At the first display on a window.
1. I store a window's rect where will be located CWnd window to a bitmap .
2. I draw CWnd window.

By tracking
1. I restore the bitmap on the same place, where I stored it
2. I store a new window's rect to a bitmap.
3. I draw a new window.

To hide a window
1. I restore the bitmap on the same place, where I stored it

At such construction I see blinking by moving of a window though I do all restores and displays on memory context (CreateCompatibleDC).

In what the reason and whether is a easy way to tracking?

If I track a window with MoveWindow() function then blinking is not present. But in this case I cannot support myself drawing at moving a CWnd window (for example simultaneously with moving to apply fade-in effect).

Best regards,
Eugene Pustovoyt

Application Control

Hello,
I want to write an application in Visual C++ that can control an existing windows application, send keystrokes of any kind to an application. Control it as if you were sitting at your keyboard and hitting a hotkey. simulate mouse movement and left, right or middle mouse button clicks. By setting the cursor position to the location of an application's button and clicking the left mouse button - both with a single remote control button - it is even possible to control stubborn apps which do not support messages or hotkeys properly
Can anybody point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Scrollbars and Resizing the CFormView class

Hello!

I am working with views in sizeable dockin control bars (example http://www.codeproject.com/docking/dockview.asp)
but this is not really my problem.
What i need is to dynamically change the size of the underlying View-Class (CFormView) - In this example, the Size of the View is defined by the size of the Resource.
I tried to do this with the MoveWindow()-Funktion - but this cannot work, since this operates on the displayed window.
I need to create Controls dynamically and resize the view - so all controls can be displayed. The size of the displayed window should stay the same - only the scrollbar-ranges should chang as a reaction to the new size.

a million thanks if anybody can help me.

Hello Again!

I have now found a way to accomplish this. Maybe there are other ways, but I am very new to the MFC Framework (in fact, this project is my first work with MFC and the MDI)

I have changed the members CScrollView - Data Members
"m_totalLog" and "m_totalDev" with my new SIZE-Struct and Called the
OnSize() method of CScrollView to reflect the changes.

Now I can position new Elements on my view dynamically.

Anyway - maybe someone knows a better way, or find this information useful.

Strange problem with CRichEditCtrl

Manfred Staiger18-Jul-03 1:24

Manfred Staiger

18-Jul-03 1:24

I have a SDI application with the view class derived from CRichEditView. The following code behaves different on one of of our machines:

long posError=0;
FINDTEXTEX text;
text.lpstrText="Error (";
text.chrg.cpMin=0;
text.chrg.cpMax=-1;

posError=GetView()->GetRichEditCtrl().FindText(FR_MATCHCASE|FR_WHOLEWORD, &text);
if(posError!=-1)
{
DoSomething...
}

On most machines it works fine and finds the lines containing "Error(" but on one machine it only works when I don't use the FR_WHOLEWORD flag in the FindText function. I never came across this problem ever before and can't imagine any reason for that. I'm "at the end with my latin" as we say in german. Does anybody have an idea ???

SetWindowLong - replacing WndProc

User 665818-Jul-03 1:22

User 6658

18-Jul-03 1:22

Hi
I'm programming a plugin for an application, and I want to subclass the WindowProc of the main window to receive its messages and then forward them to the main window.
this is what I currently do:

WNDPROC pOrigProc = (WNDPROC)SetWindowLong(wndMainForm, GWL_WNDPROC, (LONG)HookWndProc);

This works, the WNDPROC will be redirected to my WindowProc:

LRESULT CALLBACK HookWndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
	switch(uMsg) 
    {
        case WM_MOVE:
			MessageBox(NULL, "WM_MOVING", "", MB_OK);
				return 0;
			break;
		case WM_SYSCOMMAND:
			if(wParam == SC_MINIMIZE)
				return 0;
			break;
		default:
			break;
	}

	// Call main Window Proc
	return CallWindowProc(pOrigProc, hwnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);
}

For some reason, neither the message box appears, nor will the main window be prohibited to me minimized, although I don't redirect the WM_SYSCOMMAND-message (return 0). But the windowproc itself gets called. So what's wrong here?

regards
Greg

It seems that you're subclassing a child of the main window.
If you're using MFC then wndMainForm must equal m_hWnd of the CFrameWnd-derived class.

Use the standard library with string streams

#include <sstream><br />
<br />
const char* buffer = "1023451235";<br />
istringstream iss(buffer);<br />
long myLong;<br />
iss >> myLong;

you can use atol(), as replied by the above post.
But the reason strtol() is not working in your code is because you havent specified the correct number base.

<br />
l = strtol(mystring, &pEnd, 10)<br />

Hi,

I have a problem with my ListCrtl. I use InsertColumn to set the headlines over my columns but I want, that the user can not move the headlines. They should be fix.
I hope somebody can help me how I can solve this problem.

if you use

CListCtrl& ctlList = (CListCtrl&) GetListCtrl();
// set the style of the list control
ModifyStyle ( LVS_TYPEMASK, LVS_REPORT);
ListView_SetExtendedListViewStyle (m_hWnd, LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT | LVS_EX_GRIDLINES );

that set it so columns cant be moved

if you use

ListView_SetExtendedListViewStyle (m_hWnd, LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT | LVS_EX_GRIDLINES | LVS_EX_HEADERDRAGDROP);

then you can move the columns

hope this helps

The terms "control" and "view" are confusing here. Smile | :)

The ListView_SetExtendedStyle macro works perfectly on "normal" CListCtrls.

Btw, you can also use (I recommend this) CListCtrl::SetExtendedStyle [DWORD SetExtendedStyle(DWORD dwNewStyle);].

Hello Friends,
In my application I am using SQL Server's database. My database is already uploaded on Internet SQL server.

Hear is my problem:
If I dont have SQL server in my computer, then I get connection error when I am trying to open the connection with this server.
BUT if I have SQL server in my computer then it gets connected with that SQL server on Internet and works fine.

What is problem in this?

If some one knows the solution for this, then please tell me

Thanks Big Grin | :-D

You probably are initially lacking the client connectivity components on your local computer, but you then get them when you install the SQL server locally.

You might also try just installing MDAC locally and then see if you can connect to the remote SQL server.

I would do the brute-force way:

mystring.Remove('0');
mystring.Remove('1');
mystring.Remove('2');
mystring.Remove('3');
mystring.Remove('4');
mystring.Remove('5');
mystring.Remove('6');
mystring.Remove('7');
mystring.Remove('8');
mystring.Remove('9');

Perhaps not the best solution, but it works Big Grin | :-D

Not tested, but this is what I initially thought of :

#include <ctype.h> // contains the isalpha() function<br />
CString strAlphaOnly;<br />
TCHAR cMyString[] = _T("344RT");<br />
<br />
for(int nCount=0; nCount < len(cMyString); nCount++)<br />
 if( isalpha( cMyString[nCount] ) )<br />
  strAlphaOnly+=cMyString[nCount];<br />
