Anyone know if the CDTPicker can do 00:00 - 24:00 format? If so, how does one achieve this?
Right now I can only get it to go from 00:00 to 23:59. If anyone could point me to some decent instructions regarding the control I'd most appreciate it.
Regards,
John

MSDN has more info here.
You can try to use 'callback fields' in the format string. However, I'm not sure if you'll be able to go beyond 23:59.

Thanks for the advice, and I think that the callback fields will work provided I can do one of the following:
a) Get access to the event of a click on the dtpicker's spin control so that I can use it to modify the psuedo-hour-field that I created.
or
b) Get the dtpicker to display itself such that the spin control AND the drop down menu are not visible nor accessable. I don't want to give the user any false affordances.

John

What's the problem?
After 23:59 comes 00:00.
I have never ever seen anything showing the clock as 24:00, its always 00:00 or 0:00.

24:00 is a valid time according to ISO 8601. 24:00 on day N == 00:00 on day N+1. The seconds field should be able to show values 00-60 bacause of leap seconds. See here for more information.

It seems like you are right about that.
But, you would only show 24:00:00 for a single second, then it would shift to 00:00:01.
And leap seconds... How often do you need one of those in a timepicker?

For my purposes I just need to be able to enter a time into a database for any given day, and I have to be able to input from 00:00 all the way to 24:00 for that day. So yes, if I can get the timepicker to read 24:00:00 then that will be just fine. The problem is how? I can't find any way to go past 23:59 right now.

I'd like that all common controls such as CEdit and CButton have a specific function. But it is not implemented in the CWnd class. How can it be derived by the children of CWnd? Or is there any way else to solve this problem without changing code of MFC?

Please be more specific. What do you want to achieve with this special function?

I'd like to make a little modification on the MFC source provided in directory "\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\SRC", but I just don't know how to let the modified code take effect.

Might I suggest this is a hugely BAD idea ? I'm not sure if it can be done, but if you do it, you'll create code incompatible with MFC42.dll ( you'll need to statically link ) AND incompatible with every other development machine on the planet. Why not derive from the MFC class you want to change and make the change in your derived class ? That's what it is for.

When I use unicode in my CRichEditView based class I can input Unicode characters only from keyboard, and when I try input its by function SetWindowText every character, which takes code after FF, printing as two different character, how I can correct this.

Hi,
I'm exporting a template class from my MFC extension DLL, but as soon as I start using the template class outside the DLL, I get linker errors.
The template class in the DLL looks like this (myClass_Object is also defined inside the DLL):
template <class afx_ext_class="" caggregate="">
class AFX_EXT_CLASS myClass_Aggregate : public myClass_Object
{
public:
myClass_Aggregate()
{
....
}
...
}
I use the aggregate with a class from inside the DLL as the template class and the linker error looks like this (myClass_TreeFileNode is a subclass of myClass_Object):
DumpDB.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: int __thiscall myClass_Aggregate<class myclass_treefilenode="">::IsEmpty(void)const " (?IsEmpty@?$myClass_Aggregate@VmyClass_TreeFileNode@@@@QBEHXZ)
Am I not exporting the class correctly??

Have you tried to implement a method
int IsEmpty(void)
{
...
return n;
}
???
Seems like the linker can't find the body of this function...
Is it a virtual class you are inheriting from?
Or is int IsEmpty(void) defined as:
in IsEmtpy(void) = 0; ??

I've implemented all the functions inside the class and it all worked when it was still outside the MFC Extension DLL...
There is one thing though, but I don't think it could cause this error: the implementation is done in the .h-file.
I would like to try to move the implementation to the .cpp-file, but I never got that working on a template class...

It shouldn't make any difference if the implementation is
in the header or in the cpp. The linker doesn't care.
It's just a matter of making readable code.
Doing all your implementation in the header, just makes the code
harder to maintain than necessary.
The key point is that the linker can't find the implementation
of that method.
|
|
|
|

the implementation is done in the .h-file.
So there's no need to mark the template as exported. What happens when you remove AFX_EXT_CLASS?

I tried it this way as well:
template <class caggregate="">
class AFX_EXT_CLASS myClass_Aggregate : public myClass_Object
{
public:
myClass_Aggregate()
{
...
}
...
}
but it doesn't make a difference. It just keeps on saying that it can't link to the specific templated instance... For example, when I do this:
myClass_Aggregate<myclass_object> bla;
it says it can't find the implementation of
myClass_Aggregate<class myclass_object="">::~myClass_Aggregate<class myclass_object="">(void)
The weird thing is that it apparantly CAN find the implementation of the CONSTRUCTOR...
I've been looking around a little, but am quite pessimistic about a good outcome for this problem.... Please help me before I get depressed

The code posted in last msg still contains AFX_EXT_CLASS. Are you sure you've actually removed AFX_EXT_CLASS?
Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com

Wait, I'm a little off here, I guess....
I would like to use the template class outside the DLL (i.e. export the template class). But when I remove the AFX_EXT_CLASS from the class definition of myClass_Aggregate, the class won't be exported at all, right? So then I won't be able to use it outside the DLL, right???
Or perhaps I don't understand this very well...

1) When you post code, replace > and < with > and <. The template arguments are lost without that - I had to view the HTML source to find out that you're using AFX_EXT_CLASS in template argument declaration. This isn't necessary.
2) Template itself doesn't produce any code, so there's no need to export it. All information is in .h file, as you have already mentioned.
3) Your template derives from non-template myClass_object. This class must be exported.

Whoops. Sorry. Never thought of that. Pretty stupid of me.

Right.
>3) Your template derives from non-template myClass_object. This class must be exported.
It was already exported, but it didn't seem to help. My theory about the whole messy situation is that template-classes can't be exported. I read somewhere else over at CodeGuru.com that the template construction is a compile-time trick and since the extension dll has already been compiled, it probably can't use any template classes.
I've solved the problem by repeating the code of the template class inside the .h-file that I distribute together with the .lib en .dll file. That way it is compiled both in the extension DLL and in the application that uses the dll. Not an ideal solution, but it works for now.
If anyone has valuable input about this situation, I'd love to hear it!
Thanks for all your help so far.

What exactly do you want to achieve? Do you want users of your DLL to pass types unknown inside the DLL as template arguments?
myClass_aggregate<classFromSomeOtherExeOrDll> x;
In this case, you need to distribute .h file. Template construction occurs at compile time - this is no surprise, because template itself is not a complete type. Compiler needs to know what are the template arguments.
Or -- maybe you just want to export a few specializations of your template, like this:
myClass_aggregate<classFromThisExtenstionDll> y;
myClass_aggregate<anotherClassFromThisExtenstionDll> z;
In this scenario you have one more option - you can explicitly instantiate the type. See "Explicit Instantiation" in C++ Language Reference included in VC++ help and KB article Q168958 for more details.

Actually I wanted what you first described... But reflecting on it, I only want to use the aggregate for subtypes of the myClass_Object class, so that may bring me to your second case...
Is it so, that when I explicitly instatiate a supertype, that it will also work for all subtypes of that supertype??
In that case I am probably able to solve it the elegant way, anyway!
Thanx a lot!

HELP!!
I been trying for a while to get this right with various methods but to no avail..
the closest I got had little effect. Any help will be appreciated J
// In header file
//{{AFX_DATA(COutgoingMessage)
enum { IDD = IDD_MESSAGE_OUT };
CButton m_btnOK;
CButton m_btnCancel;
CStatic m_ctlToLabel;
CStatic m_ctlTo;
CEdit m_ctlBody;
CString m_Body;
CString m_To;
//}}AFX_DATA
// in the source file
void COutgoingMessage::OnSetFont()
{
// TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class
CFont font, *pFont;
BOOL bCreated = font.CreateFontIndirect(&m_lf);
ASSERT(bCreated);
// Done with the font. Delete the font object.
pFont = &font;
CDialog::OnSetFont(pFont);
m_ctlBody.SetFont(pFont);
font.DeleteObject();
//UpdateData( FALSE );
}
// NOTE !! I have tried many different methods this is the only method that shows a difference. However the is no visual chance in the font face!
can anyone give me any suggestions??
I have used the CLabel class elsewhere and found it useful, I tried to create my own CMyEdit Class using this as an example but to no avail..
what am I doing wrong??
