We answer programming questions here. If you want someone to write a program for you, goto guru.com and hire someone. Or goto sourceforge.net and try to get a new project going.

Passing data from a Modal Dialog back to the Dialog that created it

Hi,

Can anyone please help me with this problem?

I have a dialog with a CRichEditCtrl and a button.
The user highlights a piece of text and clicks the button.
When the button is clicked, a modal Dialog is created.
This modal dialog has a CEdit and a button. The CEdit contains a variable of type CString.
The user enters text in this CEdit.
When the OK button is clicked, the text in the CEdit should replace the highlighted text in the CRichEditCtrl in the initial dialog.

When the program is executed it gives a "Debug Assertion Failed" error.
The assertion is as follows (from AFXCMN.H):

<br />
AFXCMN_INLINE void CRichEditCtrl::ReplaceSel(LPCTSTR lpszNewText, BOOL bCanUndo)<br />
	{ASSERT(::IsWindow(m_hWnd)); ::SendMessage(m_hWnd, EM_REPLACESEL, (WPARAM) bCanUndo, (LPARAM)lpszNewText); }<br />

My code is as follows:

<br />
void MyModalDialog::OnBtnOk() <br />
{<br />
	CString returnStr = m_edit;	// m_edit is the CString variable atached to the CEdit<br />
	MyProjectDlg dlg;		// the initial dialog is of class MyProjectDlg<br />
	dlg.m_fileContents.ReplaceSel(returnStr, FALSE);	// m_fileContents is the name of the CRichEditCtrl	<br />
}<br />

Thanks very much,

Do not try to replace the text from within the dialog. Replace the text after the dialog closes, it is easier.

MyProjectDlg dlg; // dialog type now exist
// but the window does not exist yet
// therefor, you can not send it any messages.

According to your comments: The MyProjectDlg should already exist and it should be lunching the MyModalDialog, but here you are asking MyModalDialog to create a new MyProjectDlg and replace the selected text in that (which also does not exist).

// It should look something like this
void MyProjectDlg::SomeFunction()
{
    MyModalDialog dlg;
    dlg.MySetText(...);
    if( dlg.DoModal() == IDOK )
        m_fileContents.ReplaceSel(dlg.MyGetText(), FALSE);
}

programatically or by using the windows explorer search/find ?

programatically, use CFileFind ( or FindNextFile and FindFirstFile )

Get a copy of "Agent Ransack", it can find anything. There know there was an article here some where, but I can not find it.

You could write your own using the MS-C functions _findfirst() and _findnext() or the SDKs FindFirstFile() and FindNextFile(). The hard part is switching directories, for further searching. All the "File I/O Functions" functions are listed in the MSDN, you'll have to do a search for that exact string (not listed in index - as usual).

P.S. There is an article on "Agent Ransack" at CP.

Good Luck!

CAsyncMonikerFile

I have made simple program for HTTP download in the Visual Studio .NET (VC++
7.0). I have overriden MFC class CAsyncMonikerFile. I have overriden method
OnStopBinding(HRESULT hresult, LPCTSTR szError) in my derived class , but
this method wasn't called at the end of the bind operation (when all data
came). But overriden method OnStartBinding()was properly called. Can you help
me with this problem? Is there any serious bug in the MFC class
CAsyncMonikerFile in VC++ 7.0?

Re: CAsyncMonikerFile

John R. Shaw14-Nov-04 10:03

I do not know why you overrode the OnStopBinding() function/method, but is sounds like you need to call the base version in your overriden version.

OnStopBinding(...) // your version
{
    // ... what ever
    BaseClass::OnStopBinding(...);
}

Hi John,
I have to call some functions, when all data are downloaded and the OnStopBinding is right place for it. But the problem is that OnStopBinding is not called in VC++ 7.0, but in older VC++ 6.0, everything was all right (OnStopBinding is called after OnDataAvailable()).

Help!!! How to change Cursor Permanent ???

Hi
I want to change the default cursor in my app. I tried following code.

bool m_bcursor;

BOOL CTestDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();

// TODO: Add extra initialization here
lhCursor = AfxGetApp()->LoadCursor(IDC_CURSOR);
SetCursor(lhCursor);
m_bcursor = true; //set to true

return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
}

BOOL CTestDlg::OnSetCursor(CWnd* pWnd, UINT nHitTest, UINT message)
{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
if(m_bcursor)
return true;
else
return CDialog::OnSetCursor(pWnd, nHitTest, message);
}

But whenever I open About Dialog, cursor it changed to default cursor.

What should I do to change cursor the moment my main dialog gets focus?

You need to set the cursor each time the OnSetCursor message is triggered. Dump the boolean member variable, and make the handle to the cursor a member variable of the dialog box:

HCURSOR m_hCursor;

Initialize it in the constructor:

CMyDialog::CMyDialog() : m_hCursor(NULL)
{
m_hCursor = AfxGetApp()->LoadCursor(IDC_MYCURSOR);
}

and in OnSetCursor()...

if (m_hCursor != NULL)
{
SetCursor(m_hCursor);
return TRUE;
}

// default stuff here

Pssst. You see that little light on your monitor? That's actually a government installed spy camera. Smile and wave to big brother!

Good advice! But you do not need to maintain a copy of the cursor handle.

From MSDN:
"The LoadCursor function loads the cursor resource only if it has not been loaded; otherwise, it retrieves the handle to the existing resource."

In other words, the system maintains a copy of the cursor handle for you.

SetCursor(AfxGetApp()->LoadCursor(IDC_MYCURSOR));

The cursor is a resource included in the .exe (or sytem resoruces). Therefore, you do not need to test the handle. If the handle returned is not valid then there is a much bigger problem involved (and the program has locked up or crashed, do to lack of memory).

How to read a serial mouse?

Hi,

I'm trying to build an application that needs to read the position of a mouse (not the system's mouse) from the serial port.

Can anyone help me, and explain me how the mouse reads data from a port?

Thanks.
