LNK2005 problem

I was able to test Ben Bryant's simple XML parser in a small independent project setting. But when I put in an existing larger project I get the following link errors:

Linking...
nafxcw.lib(afxmem.obj) : error LNK2005: "void * __cdecl operator new(unsigned int)" (??2@YAPAXI@Z) already defined in LIBCMT.lib(new.obj)
nafxcw.lib(afxmem.obj) : error LNK2005: "void __cdecl operator delete(void *)" (??3@YAXPAX@Z) already defined in libcpmt.lib(delop.obj)
Release/project_firm.exe : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found
Error executing link.exe.

I tried undefining _ATL_MIN_CRT in preprocessor setting and other things I read on this and MS site but nothing works.

The project was compiled with multithreading, using MFC static library and VC++ 6.

Any idea? I would love to be able to use the XML Parser.

Taking a guess, some of your projects are compiled for the multithreading library, and some are not. I would make sure all of the projects and object libraries are set consistently, and rebuild everything.

Actually I built everything with multithread option and MFC static lib.

Nick Pirocanac's report points out this MSDN article

It says,
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, explicitly import the template class for CStringT and CSimpleStringT in the precompiled header (stdafx.h) file, as follows: template class __declspec(dllimport) CStringT<tchar, strtraitmfc<tchar,="" chtraitscrt<tchar=""> > >;
template class __declspec(dllimport) CSimpleStringT<tchar>;

I did this but it would not compile. It complains about these '<'.

From Nick Pirocanac's posting, it seems that there are different definitions of CString in more than one library.

But thanks for trying to help.

I am responding to an DTN_DROPDOWN message from a CDateTimeCtrl in order to set the day states for the Month Calendar Control that appears when you click the dropdown button. I am using the following code to set the day states, where pCalCtrl is a pointer to the Calender Control that I obtained using CDateTimeCtrl::GetMonthCalCtrl():
pCalCtrl->SetDayState(nMonths,pStates);

The problem is that I get the following line asserts from the SetDayState Function:
ASSERT(GetStyle()&MCS_DAYSTATE);

Why is this happening and how can I resolve it?

Thanks

The control does not have the MCS_DAYSTATE style, therefore setting the day states makes no sense.

The Modify style returned true, but it did not work as the line still asserted.

Can anyone find the code that creates the CMonthCalCtrl object when the dropdown button is clicked, because then I will create my own instance of CMonthCalCtrl, it is just I cannot find the code to mimic its behaviour?

Thanks

The code I provided was from a working project that does just that, except that it adds the MCS_NOTODAY style. Remember that GetMonthCalCtrl() will only return a pointer to the month calendar control while the control actually exists--that is, while it has been dropped-down by the user. Once it has been dismissed (e.g., selecting a date), the control does not actually exist.

I know that, I am using the following code in an OnDtnDropdown() message handler for my own wrapper of the CTimeDateCtrl object that is an object in my own custom Toolbar:

CMonthCalCtrl* pCtrl = (CMonthCalCtrl*) GetMonthCalCtrl();<br />
ASSERT(pCtrl != NULL);<br />
pCtrl->ModifyStyle(0, MCS_DAYSTATE);<br />
SYSTEMTIME timeFrom;<br />
SYSTEMTIME timeUntil;<br />
int nCount = pCtrl->GetMonthRange(&timeFrom, &timeUntil, GMR_DAYSTATE);<br />
LPMONTHDAYSTATE pDayState;<br />
pDayState = new MONTHDAYSTATE[nCount];<br />
memset(pDayState, 0, sizeof(MONTHDAYSTATE) * nCount);<br />
int nIndex = (timeFrom.wDay == 1) ? 0 : 1;<br />
pDayState[nIndex] |= BIT4;<br />
pDayState[nIndex] |= BIT19;<br />
pDayState[nIndex] |= BIT25; <br />
pCtrl->SetDayState(nCount, pDayState);<br />
delete [] pDayState;

However when I call pCtrl->SetDayState(), it is there that the problem occurs and it directs me to the line that asserts that i previously mentioned.

The ModifyStyle function used in the third line seems to have no effect, as I checked the return value from pCtrl->GetStyle() before and after the call to ModifyStyle and the result was the same.

By the code to create the CMonthCalCtrl I meant the code that is prewritten in the source code provided with Visual C++, not the code the user writes.

Thanks

from MSDN

After creating the control, you can change all of the styles except for MCS_DAYSTATE and MCS_MULTISELECT. To change these styles, you will need to destroy the existing control and create a new one that has the desired styles. To retrieve or change any other window styles, use the GetWindowLong and SetWindowLong functions.

I have tried to destroy the control using pMonthCalCtrl->DestroyWindow() in response to the user clicking the dropdown button, however, I get an access violation when i run it, how do you destroy the MonthCalCtrl?

Thanks

Did you ever fix this problem? I am having the same problem in getting bold dates up. If you managed to destroy and recreate the window and get the dates bold I would love to know how.

Hope your still reading.

Thanks

No, I looked absolutely everywhere and tried just about everything but I eventually gave up as I couldn't find a solution anywhere. If I do have any success I will let you know, and could you do the same if you find a solution.

Thanks

Well I worked around it so that I can use it the way I want! Big Grin | :-D

Big Grin | :-D

Big Grin | :-D

Big Grin | :-D

Basically I added an invisible Month Calendar control which I then set to the same space as the DateTimePickers rect in the DropDown handler. I also set a flag for bMonthShowing.

In the OnPaint method I use the bMonthShowing flag to let me know to reposition the windows

m_pMonth->SetWindowPos(&wndNoTopMost, 0, 0, 1, 1, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_SHOWWINDOW);
m_ctlMonth.SetWindowPos(&wndTopMost, 0, 0, 1, 1, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_SHOWWINDOW);

In the CloseUp handler I set the MonthCalendar invisible.

For the month calendar I handle the GetDayStates to set which days I want bold.
In the OnSelect for the month calendar I do the following:

COleDateTime t;
SYSTEMTIME tt;
BOOL ret = m_ctlMonth.GetCurSel(&tt);
t.SetDate(tt.wYear, tt.wMonth, tt.wDay);
m_ctlDatePicker.SetTime(t);

(If I did the GetCurSel directly into a COleDateTime it comes back with an invalid status Confused | :confused:

Confused | :confused:

)

And everything works! <edit> All right I missed one or two (or more) things. oops
What a kludge!

If you want I can send you the whole dialog project. Let me know.

I just checked the result of pMonthCalCtrl->GetStyle() before and after the use of the ModifyStyle function and the result is the same. (The ModifyStyle seems to be affecting the wrong style?)

Thanks for all your help so far

I also tried ModifyStyleEx and that had no effect either.

I think this should work:

// Get handle to MonthCalendar control
HWND hwndDP = pCalCtrl->GetSafeHwnd();
ASSERT (hwndDP != NULL);
HWND hwndMC = DateTime_GetMonthCal (hwndDP);
ASSERT (hwndMC != NULL);
CWnd* pMCCtrl = CWnd::FromHandle (hwndMC);
ASSERT (pMCCtrl != NULL);

// Set its style
DWORD dwStyle = pMCCtrl->GetStyle();
dwStyle |= MCS_DAYSTATE;
pMCCtrl->SetStyle (dwStyle);

Bitmap Background for CDialog

DanYELL16-Jun-04 9:02

16-Jun-04 9:02

There is cool code here:

http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/bmpdlg01.asp

that shows how to make a bitmap a background for a
CDialog. I have a rather large bitmap, its about 1600x
600 pixels and when I use that bitmap, it looks great
but if I scroll up or down, the images flickers or doubles
up or drags with the scrolling and looks really bad.

Any chance any one has experienced this and has a
resolution? I tried just laying the bitmap in a CDialog
and laying edit boxes on top of the bitmap. But the
edit boxes disappear under the bitmap and Im just perplexed.

Please, any response any one can give me will be greatly
appreciated.

Sincerely,
Danielle (an overworked graduate student)
