I dont think its a nice idea to use SetCurrentDirectory().Which can reflect at a different place in your project.
It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature.

A) You should NEVER assume what the directory is in your project.
B) Just call GetCurrentDirectory() before the call then restore it afterward. You could encapsulate it in a class (which I have.)
C) Alternatively, you could use the final directory buffer to build up the path as you go. It requires a little more parsing, but if you preserve the length to make it easier to strip the path back down, it's not difficult. (Yes, I've done it this way, especially in the DOS days.)

I want to calculate the golden ratio (Phi) and (phi)... I know how to do the equation, pretty simple, but I want to make the program so it will output a load of numbers instead of like... .61803 but I want a longer number... how can I do this??

Are you looking for a numeric C++ class that holds more than 64bit integer?

maybe using long float my_variable;
|
|
|
|

I mean, can I somehow make a type MORE precise to calculate phi or Phi to the nth digit?? like somewhere about 100 or no?

I have made a window in Win32. I would like to somehow handle the minimize event, so I can do stuff when the user clicks the minimize button. Does anyone have any clue how to do this? Any help is appreciated.

Both of the links I posted to your previous question 'Running a program in the taskbar' show how to handle the minimize event (or, one way of doing it)
Did you look at these examples ??
There are plenty of other examples, you can search here, or google
In general terms, when designing (say a dialog app), you must set 'Minimise Box' under Dialogue Properties -> Styles.
You then write/modify the handler for the 'OnSysCommand' - an example of such is shown below :-
void CMBFGWMS1Dlg::OnSysCommand(UINT nID, LPARAM lParam)
{
if ((nID & 0xFFF0) == IDM_ABOUTBOX)
{
CAboutDlg dlgAbout;
dlgAbout.DoModal();
}
else
{
// Decide if minimize state changed
bool bOldMin = bMinimized_;
if (nID == SC_MINIMIZE) {
bMinimized_ = true;
}
else if (nID == SC_RESTORE) {
bMinimized_ = false;
}
CDialog::OnSysCommand(nID, lParam);
if (bOldMin != bMinimized_) {
// Minimize state changed. Create the systray icon and do
// custom taskbar button handling.
SetupTrayIcon();
SetupTaskBarButton();
}
}
}
the line
nID == SC_MINIMIZE
is actually the bit that checks to see if the minimise button/request was activated (since there are a number of different requests that all come through OnSysCommand) - this is how the request is handed to your program ...
How about you try using one of the examples, and post some code back to CP if you want more help - its easier for us to work with 'posted code' than vapour ....

OnSize (with type == SIZE_MINIMIZED)

And another way is to handle WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN or WM_NCLBUTTONUP messages and check wParam parameter for HTMINBUTTON value. You should read in MSDN for more information .

Hi,
I have a custom draw list box, I handle WM_DRAWITEM to draw the items but it seems that only the selected items are drawn. The others aren't being invalidated. Anyone know why?
cheers,
roel

Are you checking the item state and setting TextColor correctly? (DRAWITEMSTRUCT::itemState)
That's just a guess, without code it's hard to tell what's going wrong.

Thanks for your reply, after letting it rest and getting some sleep it only took me 10 minutes to find it  Problem was that I was using WTL's CDC and not CDCHandle, CDC destroys the DC when it goes out of scope... Argh stupid me, I've made this mistakes dozens of times for fonts and cursors and bitmaps, just when I thought that I wouldn't make it again this shows up... Anyway thanks for your answer.

I inserted on a form a Picture with a static control and the resource is a bmp image. I put background color when I drawed it at (255,0,255), but I set up the static control as transparent and it draws the background color.
How can make it transparent ?
Thankx !!

|
|
|
|
not sure i understand could you explain more
are you trying to draw a transparent bitmap ?
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg
|
|
|
|
|
exactly. and I put it into a CStatic control as a Bitmap file so it shows it, but the (255,0,255) color in the BMP file doesn't turn to transparent when it is showed into the dialog.
Thankx !!

I am trying to develop an NT Service, novice in the field and running into following problems.
Let me simplify all the steps to explain problem i am facing, please let me know if i am doing anything wrong
I create a NT Service using Visual Studio 6 ATL Com wizard without a single line of my own code added here. Only thing i change is remove command from Project/Settings/Custom Build that re-registers the service. After that I compile the project. Let say name of the service is MyService. I use following commands to register and unregister service.
MyService -Service
.. start and stop the service
MyService -Unregserver
after this unregserver command this service goes in "Diabled" mode as shown in SCM and now if i want to re-register the service i can "Service cannot be deleted" message box. To only way to register the service again is to logoff the box.
Since I haven't added any of my code in this test project, there shouldn't be case of any dangling handle.
Any ideas?

It seems your service uninstall handler is not exiting the application after it DeleteService().
And also are you keeping SCM open while doing all these?
It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature.

Yes SCM is open while doing all this.
Since I didn't add any code myself in this case and just using wizard generated code, does this mean its a bug in the code that is generated by wizard?
Thanks for response anyway and appreciate any more comments.

I am having some difficulty and would like some view points on setting up the directory structure of projects that arent so small anymore.
Currently I have three parts to my project. The Core application and the Plugin are dialog based MFC programs.
1) Core Application
2) Common code
3) Plugin Framework
Each in a separate directory. The common code consists of utility functions, drawing routines, etc, which are shared between the core application and the Plugin Framework. One of my problems is that the MFC header file stdafx.h are all the includes for MFC stuff like CString. I don't want to hard code the path from the common directory back to my current project directory.
For example a file in the common directory needs to use CString but does not know what it is. I don't want to have to do this because I think it is bad technique.
#include "d:\project\stdafx.h"
I also don't want to do this
#ifdef CORE_APP
#include "d:\project1\stdafx.h"
#else
#include "d:\project2\stdafx.h"
#endif
As a result of moving all the files around I am now getting CString access violations and I am guessing it must have something to do with my poor file structure.
So what is a good approach for separating common files like in my situation?
Hope that made sense.
