thank you...
the small EXE compared to MFC statically linked EXE is a top feature..
but seems i'll have to re-write some classes provided in MFC.
it'll be a good practice anyway

what about WTL as an alternative for MFC for dialog based apps ?
WTL has several advantages. One of whch is that it is template based which allows you to change the base class of many of the GUI classes. WTL also does not have the DLL hell that mfc does. MFC is bloated, it contains functionality that STL and even C++ have better implementations but these are here to maintain backward compatibility. The Doc/View in mfc is very annoying/difficult to use in multithreaded applications as all windows must be created and accessed in the main thread. But WTL also has disadvantages. Not being supported or documented are big problems. Also look at code project. How many controls are MFC and then look how many are WTL?

hi all,
I have two ActiveX one parent and other child ActiveX.
I want the to establish communication between the two i.e parent and child control.(the container for Parent control is IE ).
To my knowledge. you have to provide a ClientSite for the Object so that you can host the Object in a container.
But I don't know how to create a Site Object in a Parent ActiveX so that I can give the ref of child Object.
Can anyone please help me,
Thanks in advance,
Abhishake

What I understand from above question is....You want to put Some Child ActiveX on Parent ActiveX and Communicate between them..if this is so...
Then use AtlAxCreateControl(....IUnKnown);
through this IUnknown pointer you can Advise/Addref to the child ActiveX)

I am trying to add a status bar to my WTL dialog, and I'm not quite sure how to go about it. I tried this code in my OnInitDialog:
int indicator = ID_SEPARATOR;
m_statusBar.Create(m_hWnd);
m_statusBar.SetParts(1, &indicator);
m_statusBar.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
However, when dialog is created the status bar is created outside of the window floating at the top of the screen, which is very strange. All of the code samples show how to add it to CFrameWindowImpl, and I'd like to have the dialog editable in the dialog editor. Any ideas?

I'd think it was close to the same solution for MFC and adding toolbars to dialog based apps. I saw a ton of replies to that on a Google search yesterday when I was looking for something else.

Here is one solution, but it has a caveat.
Add a custom control in the VC resource editor, setting the class name to be "msctls_statusbar32". Positioning doesn't matter, it will get moved to the bottom of the dialog anyway.
However, the dialog's gripper is now obscured. I think I'm going to move to a frame window for this, it is a bit ridiculous.

OS: Win2K
Compiler: Visual Studio 6 sp5 and sp6, C++, Platform SDK Oct 2001.
I have created an ATL/COM EXE. It has a single, simple COM Object. I can build the component through the IDE. When I use nmake, the project builds and links but fails to return from the registration of the component--it hangs the server as though there were a memory leak. The COM Object does nothing--I could include it here, but if you created a new ATL/COM EXE and select from msdev menu Insert/New ATL Object... and select Simple Object, you would have what I have.
I have installed sp6 on my machine but that did not clean it up.
Has anyone else seen this problem? Solutions?
Thanks,

pLoop->AddIdleHandler(this);
SetMsgHandled(false);
return 0;
}
};
When running the app under debug i get an Access Violation when I close the window. Why? It doesn't happen without delete this; but i see using my 5 meg buffer(in task manager) that the NewNoteWindow-object hasn't been deleted so i obviously have to delete it myself. Can someone help me make this work correctly?

This may be a bug of ATL in VC6 and it will not apply to VS.NET.
See CWindowImplBaseT::WindowProc for details.
//Sample code of ATLWin.h in VC6
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
if(!bHandled) {
lRes = ::DefWindowProc(pThis->hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);
if(uMsg == WM_NCDESTROY)
{
HWND hWnd = pThis->hWnd;
pThis->hWnd = NULL;
//clean up after window is destroyed
pThis->OnFinalMessage(hWnd);
}
}
//Sample codes of ATLWin.h in VC7
//////////////////////////////////////////////
if(!bHandled){
lRes = ::DefWindowProc(pThis->m_hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);
if(uMsg == WM_NCDESTROY) {
// mark window as destryed
pThis->m_dwState |= WINSTATE_DESTROYED;
}
}
if((pThis->m_dwState & WINSTATE_DESTROYED) && pThis->m_pCurrentMsg == NULL)
{
HWND hWnd = pThis->m_hWnd;
pThis->m_hWnd = NULL;
pThis->m_dwState &= ~WINSTATE_DESTROYED;
pThis->OnFinalMessage(hWnd);
}

ok well how am i supposed to delete the windows then? right now i am just thinking of a garbage collector using a timer. i cant just leave the objects in memory as a leak..

hi all,
I have created a two control using AtlAxCreateControl() function now i want to aline these control in a container window. and out of these two control one is a full control and other is composite control.
I guess i have to use the IOleObject's SetExtent() funtion to adjust the size of control. and for that I have to anyhow get the Interface pointer to IOleObject.
But how to get the interface pointer to QueryInterface(),IOleObject?
Thanks in advance,
Abhishake

Hi there,
I don't know what hWnd are you passing as a parameter to the AtlAxCreateControl function, you should ask that window to return you the control. But I think is easier if you use AtlAxCreateControlEx, it will return a IUnkown to the control, or you can host the control in a CAxWindow, in that case you do CAxWindow::CreateControl and then CAxWindow::QueryControl or again just in one step, CAxWindow::CreateControlEx

Fabian

Hello !
1. Sorry for my English
2. Bloody beginner
3. I have a ATL Full Control, invisible at runtime.
It is placed in a HTML Page with the <OBJECT> Tag.
There is a custom Message:
-----------------------------------------------------
#define MY_TEST (WM_APP + 1)
....
LRESULT OnTest(UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, BOOL& bHandled);
....
BEGIN_MSG_MAP(CmyClass14)
CHAIN_MSG_MAP(CComControl<CmyClass14> )
DEFAULT_REFLECTION_HANDLER()
MESSAGE_HANDLER(MY_TEST, OnTest)
END_MSG_MAP()
-----------------------------------------------------
OK. Compiles fine.
But how do I Post my Message?
Here is what I tried:
PostMessage(MY_TEST) or
::PostMessage(this->m_hWnd, MY_TEST, 0, 0)
gives me an Assertion failure at runtime with "::IsWindow(hWnd)"
That tells me PostMessage needs a Window. (?)
PostThreadMessage(GetCurrentThreadID(), MY_TEST, 0, 0) or
::PostThreadMessage(GetCurrentThreadID(), MY_TEST, 0, 0)
works, but the message handler OnTest is never called.
What can I do ???
MfG
Sebastian

Hi there,
Sorry I don't have an answer for you, mainly because I don't know/understand what are you trying to do, but, I have a couple of comments for you.
First never do something like this to obtain a message id
#define MY_TEST (WM_APP + 1)
somebody else can be using the same id for a different message, always use
UINT RegisterWindowMessage( LPCTSTR lpString /* message string */ );
for your messages, this API guarantee the returning id is unique.
Second, why do you use a Control that is invisible at RunTime?, if your object has no visible interface, it may be better to use a Single object or even an ATL Class.
Post a brief description of what are you trying to achieve, I may be able to help you.
Regards,
Fabian

I will try to explain the idea:
The article "Firing Events among ActiveX Controls on the IE Browser" by Yasuhiko Yoshimura
( http://www.codeproject.com/com/firingeventsamongactivex.asp )
showed me a way to link up multiple client-controls to a server-control.
The client-controls in my scenario are visualisations of data fired from the server-control.
The server-control is a "interface" with no UI which:
1. Links up to a 3rd-Party-Queueing-System...
2. ... processes the incoming data...
3. ... and fires events to the client-controls for visualisation.
And so the server-control shall be invisible.
HTML-Page:
<OBJECT ID="SERVER" CLSID...>
<OBJECT ID="Client1" CLSID...>
<OBJECT ID="Client1" CLSID...>
....
But all this lays in far future.
My Problem: The invisible server-control has to catch custom messages (defined by the 3rdPartyAPI).
To simplify things and for testing I try to catch my own WM_APP+1 message.
And in the way I'm trying to post/map my message it doesn't work.
Was my explaining OK?
Any idea will help me a lot.
MfG
Sebastian
