Numbers are just numbers ! It's just their representation that changes !
For example if you have an integer that is equal to 5, it's binary representation will be 0101, it's hexadecimal representation will be 0x5 and it's decimal representation will be 5. But it is still the same number !!

So your question makes non-sense. Or maybe you want to ask how to print it in hex representation or decimal representation ?? Or maybe you want to convert a string that holds an hex number into a dec number ?? Or what else ... ?

So be more precise in your question.

You get exactly the same, as hex and dec (and other more) are different representations of the same number!

Problem about Owner Window

Arcrest9-Dec-04 21:21

Arcrest

9-Dec-04 21:21

Hi, everyone.
in my dialog-based application, i want to create a dialog (CMyDialog) that is not owned by the main dialog. i derive a class named CMyThread from CWinThread and create an instance of CMyDialog(modaless dialog) in the InitInstance because i want an instance of CMyDialog has its own message loop, so i create instances of CMyDialog use this function:
CreateMyDialog()
{
AfxBeginThread(RUNTIME_CLASS(CMyThread));
}

if i call CreateMyDialog before the creation of main dialog ,then the dialog will not be owned by main dialog, of course, Smile | :)

. but if i call CreateMyDialog after the main dialog has been created, the dialog will be an owned window.

so how to create an instance of CMyDialog without an owner window after the main dialog has been created.

Thanks.

Forward key to another controller

Mathias S.9-Dec-04 21:11

9-Dec-04 21:11

In a dialog I got a CEdit and a ListCtrl. And when I press any A-Z key in the ListCtrl I want that key to be forwarded to the edit controller and focus to be change so that continues writing will be in the CEdit.

The solution I came up with is this. It appears to work.
But I get a bad felling about this solution. Anyone know if this is a correct way of doing this

// m_pEdit is a pointer to the CEdit.
void CMyListCtrl::OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
{
	if( nChar >= 'a'&& nChar <= 'z' || nChar >= 'A'&& nChar <= 'Z')
	{
		m_pEdit->PostMessage( WM_CHAR , (WCHAR)nChar,MAKELPARAM(nRepCnt,nFlags) );
		m_pEdit->SetFocus();
		return;
	}
	CListCtrl::OnChar(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);
}

Or should I do this from OnKeyDown instead?

Instance of a class.....

aaadetos9-Dec-04 20:44

9-Dec-04 20:44

I have a problem with an instance of a class. The class member variable instantiated by a class object appears not to be updated to what the user defines at run time.

The problem is to do with the fact that the user-defined variable at run-time is not being used. How do I change that. UpdateData(TRUE); in the change or update events of those variables don't work.

For instance,

<br />
double x = 0;//this is already initialized in the compiler-generated constructor <br />
<br />
CKuchukDlg MyClass;<br />
MyClass.m_dWellRad = x;<br />

At run-time, the proigram crashes. On debugging, I found that the compiler isn't using the value ascribed by the user(me) as x. After using x=0, x later becomes some bogus number: -9.2559631349318e+061. When i don't initialize my variable x, i get a warning; but still at run-time, x becomes this bogus number again, not the value set at run-time.

How can i capture the value set at run-time??

<br />
void CKuchukDlg::OnUpdateWellrad() <br />
UpdateData(TRUE);<br />

doesn't help. Neither does it help on the event-->void CKuchukDlg::OnChangeWellrad()

Overide WM_VSCROLL message in your Window
if you are using the MFC
the Function Declaration is like this

OnHScroll(UINT nSBCode,UINT nPos,CScrollBar *pScrollBar)

where pScrollbar contain pointer to that Scrollbar if it is not Window Default Scrollbar.

In Win32
lParam contain the pointer to The Scrollbar you have to typecast that.

Normally you write your code inside OnVScroll(UINT nSBCode, UINT nPos, CScrollBar* pScrollBar);

Should you still want to intercept the WM_SCROLL message, then use the PreTranslateMessage() function of your app class (not the dlg one)

Ninety-eight percent of the thrill comes from knowing that the thing you designed works, and works almost the way you expected it would. If that happens, part of you is in that machine.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
