You need to use something like the following, which gets the full path of the executable:

CString sModulePath;
HINSTANCE hInstance = AfxGetInstanceHandle();
GetModuleFileName(hInstance, sModulePath.GetBuffer(MAX_PATH), MAX_PATH);
sModulePath.ReleaseBuffer();

You can then chop the string up using GetFullPathName()

Is the message box telling you anything of importance?

if the message box is part of the normal flow of the application ( in the library ), like a Yes/No message box, I don't think you can remove it; if it's a warning/error message, maybe you need to fix the cause of the warning/error that may be in your code.

Or maybe it's a debugging message that only appears in debug mode ?

I want to setup hotkeys in my application to control vobsub to show ,hide or shift the subtitles for DivX video because the VobSub doesn't offer this service and it's not convenient to control the it by mouse. As I know ,usual hotkey software use hook API to implement such function, but I don't know VobSub's interface and don't know how to get it. I need your help!

how to display resources from a .rc or .res file ?

JP GOBLET15-Jul-04 23:14

For helping translation of an application, i've written an utility that compares 2 french resource (.rc) files (the previous and the last version); then only the terms that were changed or added are displayed, and one can type the translation. As translation is depending on context, i'd like to display the resource (menu or dialogbox) from which the terms to be translated come from.
I've found utilities that extract and display resources from executables or .res files, but it's not possible to control these utilities to make them display one dialogbox (for example : display dialogbox whith ID = 123).
Does someone know such an utility, or, better, how can i myself display a dialogbox from a .rc (or .res) file ?

Hi, I think if what you require is an way to view resources then you can do the following.

1) use FindResource/FindResourceEx to locate the required dialog box in your resource.
2) Use CreateDialogIndirect or likes to create and show an dialog box in its running condition. (Use an dummy wndproc for it).

Grabbing "Focus"

15-Jul-04 23:08

I have a phone application that sits minimized in the system tray. When the handset is lifted, I want the window to be displayed and activated.

Currently I use...

pdlg->SetWindowPos(&wndTopMost, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_SHOWWINDOW | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOMOVE);<br />
pdlg->SetForegroundWindow();<br />
pdlg->SetFocus();

If another application is active, when I lift the handset, this code shows the window, and makes the window title bar flash, but does not grab the input focus or activate the application.

Can someone help please? TIA

try:

pdlg->ShowWindow(VALUE);
With VALUE=
SW_FORCEMINIMIZE
Windows 2000/XP: Minimizes a window, even if the thread that owns the window is hung. This flag should only be used when minimizing windows from a different thread.
SW_HIDE
Hides the window and activates another window.
SW_MAXIMIZE
Maximizes the specified window.
SW_MINIMIZE
Minimizes the specified window and activates the next top-level window in the Z order.
SW_RESTORE
Activates and displays the window. If the window is minimized or maximized, the system restores it to its original size and position. An application should specify this flag when restoring a minimized window.
SW_SHOW
Activates the window and displays it in its current size and position.
SW_SHOWDEFAULT
Sets the show state based on the SW_ value specified in the STARTUPINFO structure passed to the CreateProcess function by the program that started the application.
SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED
Activates the window and displays it as a maximized window.
SW_SHOWMINIMIZED
Activates the window and displays it as a minimized window.
SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE
Displays the window as a minimized window. This value is similar to SW_SHOWMINIMIZED, except the window is not activated.
SW_SHOWNA
Displays the window in its current size and position. This value is similar to SW_SHOW, except the window is not activated.
SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE
Displays a window in its most recent size and position. This value is similar to SW_SHOWNORMAL, except the window is not actived.
SW_SHOWNORMAL
Activates and displays a window. If the window is minimized or maximized, the system restores it to its original size and position. An application should specify this flag when displaying the window for the first time

Maybe it helps, maybe it doesn't...
Good luck!

Thanks, but I've tried that vast majority of those! Cry | :((

They don't seem to work, which is why I'm using SetWindowPos.

It works if the application is active, but if I'm reading an email and I lift the handset, it doesn't.

ok last idea: maybe you can set the focus on a control instead of on the dialog?
(first set your dialog back up and then set focus to some control of your dialog)

Good luck!

Redraw with (out) scroll bar

V.15-Jul-04 23:08

15-Jul-04 23:08

Is their a difference when you redraw a control with scrollbar and a control without scrollbar?
I have a MSHFlexGrid control and the redraw without scrollbar is very fast. With scrollbar however, it starts to flicker for quite a long time.

What's the problem and what to do?

tnx in advance!

1. Create a new C++ .Net / C# project.
2. Add a 'Web Reference', and insert the URL of the web service where required
3. The IDE generates all necessary files for using the web service. It is implemented by using COM, so your program must initialize COM (CoInitialize)before using the object.
4. After initializing COM, create an object of the class representing the web service on heap memory
5. Call the necessary methods, supplying any necessary parameters.
6. Delete the object
7. Uninitialize COM
8. Done
