why rebuilding the proj failed eventhough it was running before.

Hi all,
I'm running myProg.exe and while it is still process, I killed the process by either going to task manager or right click and close. Then sometime, when I rebuild it again, it failed to rebuild.

<br />
myProg Command line warning D4028 : minimal rebuild failure, reverting to normal build<br />
C:\myProg\myProg\myProg.cpp fatal error C1033: cannot open program database 'c:\myProg\myProg\deug\vc70.idb'<br />
C:\myProg\myProg\myProg.cpp fatal error C1033: cannot open program database 'c:\myProg\myProg\deug\myProg.pdb'<br />
<br />

I have to either delete the myProg.pdb manually or if I can't (sometime get the error message saying, myProg.pdb is still in used), I have to restart the computer in order to rebuild the project..
Is anyone of you have the same experience that I'm facing.. please tell me what is wrong with it?

Thank you.

Are you killing the myprog.exe or msdev.exe process?

Can't have a child window in the non-client area painting itself

If I create a window in another window in the non-client area then send the WM_PAINT message to the child window if the parent receives a WM_NCPAINT message, the client window doesn't redraw (the non-client area it is on is still garbled with the old pixels that were in those rect). How can I solve this?

Once the first char is found i need to find the next which the next char could be in 9 possible directions.

-String Vector-

Spell Checker API?

Does anyone have a spell checker that they recommend for integration into Windows apps? We are looking for a quality once, it does NOT have to be free. It should be able to be integrated with several different technologies, including Borland C++, Delphi, and Microsoft C++ and .NET (so I presume that an API with a COM interface is the best way to go).

Thanks for any suggestions,
~Steve

Be that as it may (I can neither confirm nor deny), the product, at least the 1993 version, is still licensed to them and is still in use by Microsoft Office XP.

This is a (very old) link I have lying around.

How old? It mentions OS/2 OMG | :OMG:

But then it goes on to mention a .NET version... Confused | :confused:

On the plus side, you do get the source code Big Grin | :-D

Also, there's probably loads at www.componentsource.com[^].

CTreeCtrl Right Click question...

Maximilien7-Sep-04 5:04

Maximilien

7-Sep-04 5:04

I handle the right click in a CTreeCtrl with

ON_NOTIFY( NM_RCLICK, IDC_TREE1, OnTreeRclick )

and

void CTestTreeDlg::OnTreeRclick( NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult )
{
 NM_TREEVIEW* pNMTreeView = (NM_TREEVIEW*)pNMHDR;
 HTREEITEM hSelItem = pNMTreeView->itemNew.hItem;
}

When I right click on the tree background, not on a leaf or node, the hSelItem is not valid, and is not a "simple" value like NULL or zero.

Is there a way to check to see if the HTREEITEM item is valid ?

I tried the following to see if I can get the item based on the hitem the notification message gave back, it could "work" but it gives a "First-chance exception" when passing a bad hitem.

TVITEM item;
TCHAR szText[1024];
item.hItem = hSelItem;
item.mask = TVIF_TEXT | TVIF_HANDLE;
item.pszText = szText;
item.cchTextMax = 1024;
BOOL bWorked = m_Tree->GetItem(&item);

Thanks.

Max.

I would use:

void CTestTreeDlg::OnTreeRclick( NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult )
{ 
  CPoint point(GetMessagePos());
  m_tree.ScreenToClient(&point);
  <br>
  HTREEITEM hi=m_tree.HitTest(point);
  <br>
  if (hi)
  {
    // ...
  }
  // ...
}

where m_tree is the CTreeCtrl member associated with your control.

Maybe not the best method but it works.

Locked Computer and Hooking

caykahve7-Sep-04 2:09

Hi,

I'm using WH_MOUSE and WH_KEYBOARD hooks to sense user movement just like a screensaver. The screensaver prevents the hook messages from reaching the program. Therefore I disable the screensaver when I enable hooking.

Now I've realized that if the user locks the computer manually - by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL and afterwards the "Lock Computer" button, then the hook messages never reach the program.

Is there a way to let the hook messages pass beyond the logon screen and reach my running program?

Thanks in advance...

Get URL via Drag'n'Drop

Hi there,
I want a dialog-based MFC application, that receives URLs from Internet Explorer via Drag'n'Drop.
My Dialog consists of Listboxes, Edit-fields, buttons and so on. I want my Internet-Explorer to show a html-page. When I drag this page to my dialog, I want to process this URL to display the parts of the URL in different controls.

I tried a simple FileManager-Drop Operation, but Internet Explorer does not provide URLs via this Mechanism. All the OLE-examples show, how to drag items from a listbox into another listbox.

How can I receive a Drop from Internet-Explorer?

How to know which module has handles in a process

Hello,

Now I have been testing a aplication program which is implimented
by Win32(VC++) and Pro*C.

What I am comfused is that the count of the application's handles
which is displayed on TaskManager is incremented only, never decremented.
The application should be used for 24 hours everyday,
so I think this is a serious problem.

I have been triying to check my code,
especially where kernel objects is created and the handle should be closed,
but I haven't found what is wrong.

I guess that I can get some hints if I can know which module has handles
in the application process.

Cay anybody Know about it?
or what I should do anything else generally?

regards.
