Re: How to prevent setting focus to modeless dialog ?

GermanGeorge1-Jul-04 2:03

i did not test it, but i would start this way.

after
m_Modelessdialog->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

i would use
this->SetActiveWindow();
or
this->SetFocus();
or
this->BringWindowToTop();
etc.
to get the focus pack to the parent.

just try

hope it helps

How about telling us what the exception is, or maybe what the code looks like? It's hard to provide anything useful with the little bit of information you've provided.

well, here is full detail of my code: (i hope)
in my CXXXApp::InitInstance() i did:

<br />
m_pConnection.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Connection)); //Create connection<br />
	try<br />
	{<br />
		m_pConnection->Open<br />
		("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"<br />
		"Data Source=D:\\DATA\\Nwind.mdb", "", "", -1);<br />
<br />
	}<br />
	catch(_com_error *e)<br />
	{<br />
		CString Error = e->ErrorMessage();<br />
		AfxMessageBox(e->ErrorMessage());<br />
	}<br />
	catch(...)<br />
	{<br />
<br />
	}<br />

when i do this code in my View (it's MDI app) everything works fine.
when i do this - im getting into the catch(...).

is it making any sense to ya? Unsure | :~

My bad.

I saw the one catch statement but not the other. I know of no way to ascertain the type/cause of exception at that point.

The last database application I did, the database object belonged to the document (as opposed to the app or the view). The document had methods for opening and closing the database connection.

Are you sure you called CoIninitialize(NULL) before CreateInstance call?

If you didn't call, you need to add that call before the CreateInstance and CoUninitialize() in ExitInstance function.

Some additional comments.

1.- Be sure CoInitialize is only called once in your application, and CoUninitialize is called just before shutting down the application.

2.- There was an easy way you could use to know which error occured. You know that CreateInstance returns an HRESULT. If after the call the pointer was 0x00000000, you can know the error by mean of the HRESULT (0 means no error).

For example, write the line this way:
HRESULT hr = ....CreateInstance(...);
or
TRACE("%x", ....CreateInstance(...));

Then copy the resulting code to the clipboard and finally, run the Error Lookup utility (present in Microsoft Visual Studio Tools menu). The copied error code will appear in Value edit box. Press Look Up button and the corresponding message will appear in Error Message window. For example, for your particular error, hr is 0x800401F0... using Error Lookup, you will get the message "CoInitialize has not been called".

Alternatively you can search that HRESULT code in winerror.h file.

Cheers
Jaime

Put a breakpoint on m_pConnection->Open line. Check to see if m_pConnection is not NULL and is valid.

If it isn't a _com_error it is more likely the pointer m_pConnection is invalid.

Help on dialog boxes!

I created a very simple dialog box with OK, CANCEL buttons on the top right hand corner of the dialog box. When I maximise the dialog box,these two buttons appear in the center of the dialog box. How can they be automatically positioned on the top right-hand corner of the enlarged window?
I am a beginner. Kindly help me out.

1. You add control variables for the buttons.
2. You add a handler for the dialog WM_SIZE.
3. In this function, you test for the buttons being created (as WM_SIZE will be sent before the controls are created), for example so:

if( m_okButton.m_hWnd )
{
  //... rest of the code

4. If the buttons are created, you use the x and y inparameters to place and/or size the buttons as desired. The buttons can be moved with MoveWindow or SetWindowPos (the last one taking more parameters, but it can move without resize, for example).

Handle the WM_SIZING message (OnSizing() in MFC) and MoveWindow() your buttons according to the top-right corner.

USB wasn't designed for that, so you cannot do it without extra hardware. Best is to put an ethernet or 802.11 adaptor on USB, and use standard ip/sockets to comunicate.

Some companies make (or used to make) adaptors that would also do this. However I'm not sure extactly how they work, so I can't be sure they will provide you an interface to send data.

There is socket examples all over the internet, search them out.
