Like the MFC Reference states, your application class is derived from CWinApp. There is a global MFC function AfxGetApp which returns a pointer to your class's parent CWinApp.
You can use the below method to access the class. Here, we assume that your the implementation of your dialog class (.cpp file) #includes the application class's header file. This is usually done for you when you create an application, but make sure just in case. If you have not included it, you will receive errors like 'Unknown variable'
CMyApp* ptrApp = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST( CMyApp, AfxGetApp() );<DIV>
if ( !ptrApp )
TRACE0("Failed to get application pointer\n");<DIV>
UINT uiReturnValue = ptrApp->MyFunction(PARAM param1, PARAM param2);
The DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST macro does a safe downcast from CWinApp* returned by AfxGetApp into the CMyApp* type. As your application class is derived from CWinApp, the cast is perfectly legal and will yeild a pointer to your derived class.
You can use a similar method with any MFC class, for example, you can use GetParentFrame method of getting a view's parent frame (CFrameWnd*) then cast it down to your derived CMyFrameWindow class.

Hello Friends,
I am Having a tree ctrl in a dialog box now when i set the checkbox property of the tree ctrl then there is a very Long Horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the TreeCtrl. This scroll bar is very long even if the length of the string inserted in the treectrl is small
Can anyone help me out in removing the horizontal scroll, but i want the Vertical Scroll...
Thanx
TAKE CARE

Is your dialog based on a prepared resource ?
If it is, then override the OnCreate method of your dialog class, and first call the base class to create the dialog and control windows. Use Class Wizard to bind a control member for the tree control. When the base class call returns, use the member variable to check if the control window is created (m_hWnd member of variable is not null)
Set the window style flags using the member variable and ModifyStyle method to remove the WS_HSCROLL flag. This will remove the horizontal scrollbar.
If you create the list control dynamically, you can leave the WS_HSCROLL flag out from the Create method call. This will remove the horizontal bar. Including the WS_VSCROLL flag will ensure that the vertical scroll bar remains.

well but what if I really have something in my tree control which needs to have a horizontal scrollbar
|
|
|
|

I believe the only option for the tree control here is that the horizontal scrollbar is either on or off.
If you need a special implementation (variable on/off scrollbar), then derive from CTreeCtrl and draw the horizontal scrollbar yourself when necessary.

The CxImgLib.dsw workspace shows the libraries required to build an application (demo.exe) including almost all the features and the formats available in CxImage. You must compile all the libraries before you can link the final application.
In the same workspace you'll find the projects to build different libraries and applications:
CxImage : cximage.lib - static library
CxImageCrtDll : cximagecrt.dll - DLL not using mfc
CxImageMfcDll : cximage.dll - DLL using mfc
Demo : demo.exe - program linked with cximage.lib and the C libraries
DemoDll : demodll.exe - program linked with cximagecrt.dll
j2k,jasper,jbig,jpeg,png,tiff,zlib : static C libraries
So from above you should look that whether u have build all of your libraries

Thanx for the detailed info very much...
What my problem was that i didnt want to mess with my workspace i.e include those workspace in mine so that i can use them, instead what i did was i compiled the demo , it compiled all the needed libs, so i put those libs in my workspace and included the "include" files from CxImage. Works like a charm...
Thanx again.

Prakash.

My application wants to make a query of if there is a 'name' in the data file which is owned by another system and also a binary file(DSS format, any idea of what it is?) The query string is a ascii string, so my idea is change it to ascii value and reads the binary data file in and looks for the value. Is it make sense, or could you guys give me a new idea? Thanks in advance. 
|
|
|
|
|
I can't speak for everyone else, but the question didnt entirely make sense. Are you saying you want to find a string within a binary file? If you know nothing of the file format then your only option is to do a brute force search of the entire file!
|
|
|
|
|
yeah, that's just what I want to express, by the way, brute entire search? isthere any better solution
|
|
|
|
|
No - if you dont know the format then you cant make any assumptions.

i am a novice to vcpp. can you help me with databases like opening a connection, calling a recordset, selecting and inserting records in a table.
thanks.

A brief introduction of database programming with ODBC:
The database programming model in MFC, for example, consists of clearly seperated elements. Firstly, you have a database object. This object represents the connection to a database. The database itself can be of any type (MySQL, Oracle, MS SQL), as databse objects are bound to the databases through either the database driver or a data source definition.
Data source definitions are entries in ODBC Manager. They specify the database driver used, login name, password, target database and any necessary flags or settings. You can use the driver directly through a database object as well.
Next step up, we have a recordset object. A recordset object represents a query to a database: a collection of one or more SQL statements and a set of internal variables to hold the response from these statements. When you construct a recordset object, you can specify a database object reference for it. This means that any statements you execute and the results of those statements are handled in the context of this very database.
For the recordset objects, they contain a FieldExchange object, which is responsible for doing the field exchange between the results received from the recordset and the internal variables you have specified. Overriding the member function 'DoFieldExchange' allows you to specify how the returning results are stored.
More information is available in the MSDN Reference for classes CDatabase and CRecordset. Also, there is a good quantity of different articles available here at CodeProject. This[^] is a good place to start: look articles which have a 'Beginner' level specification next to them. These articles will help you get started. The rest is experiencing and testing.
The most easiest way in Visual Studio .NET 2003 is to add a MFC ODBC Database consumer class to your project. The wizard will help you through then.

Hello guys,
My machine has XP OS, .net platform and VC7 installed. If i create an application that uses GDI+, then will that application work on win2000 where there is no .net platform installed.
What all things do i need to do for that application to work on win2000.
Can any one answer me who has pratically confirmed it. As i have only one machine and no more room for win2k on my harddisk, i am not able to test it.
Thanx in advance.

GDI+ is a redistributable component and can be downloaded here[^].

I am wondering how I could read in a file without neccessarily storing it, in order to just find the length of the file so that I can create an array the specific length of the file. Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
What do you mean without storing it?
1. There is a structure stat and a function _stat (header types.h, refer MSDN)
2. You can use the FindFirstFile function to get the file info structure which contains the file attributes (MSDN again)
These two ways get you the file size without having to open in explicitly.
Hope this helps

In my vc++ codes, I must use the filter of the Object recordset to filter some records, I get the query term from a EditBox, but when the term include the character "%", the filter seems to meet some problem in deal with the "%",
What should I do, some body tell me how please.
What's more, when the operater is ">" or ">=", the filter meet the same error.

Most databases require special characters to be escaped if they are part of sql. For some databases you can choose you escape sequence others have predefined '\'....
Characters '[,=+-&%#!@">
