I understand including the comctrl32 lib and header. I know to init common controls. I can create a tab window and add tabs to it.
I just can't seem to grasp of how to tell when a specific tab has been selected. I just need to know what to look for with winproc.
I've almost finished a Terminal/Command Prompt Program that can do most of the things a Microsoft or Linux Terminal can do - but I have a problem. I've got it to open programs fine, and I can also open their browser to the download page if they don't have it, but I need my program to know if there isn't the software so a bit like command prompt where it says 'The system cannot find the file test.txt.' and then it'll take them to the website if they like.

Is there a way an ASPX page can send a notification message to my IE Plugin which is developed in VC++?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI run the following API to put Windows XP SP3 into sleep (or standby mode) from a worker thread:
Code:
BOOL bForced = TRUE;
SetSuspendState(FALSE, bForced, FALSE);
Then in the main thread, while processing window messages:
Code:
LRESULT WindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) {
if(message == WM_POWERBROADCAST) {
if(wParam == PBT_APMSUSPEND) {
AddLogMsg(_T("SUSPEND event received"));
[Code] ....
So when SetSuspendState is called with request for a 'forced' sleep mode, the PBT_APMSUSPEND notification is never broadcast. Only if I set forced parameter to FALSE I receive it.
PBT_APMRESUMEAUTOMATIC is received in either case.
PBT_APMSUSPEND is always received when run on Windows Vista/7.
I have multiple bitmap buttons of non-square shape. Because of their odd shape I can overlap them and they will still look good on screen, which is what I want - that certain layout.
The problem is that because underlying button in reality is square (which I am subclassing), the bitmap of one button may overlay with the non-bitmap area of the other button (in the underlying square). This means that 2nd bitmap button will not receive notification because the press is registered with top level window only.
Is there a way that both windows can receive the notification and check if they are in the hot spot, they will respond? I know this is against windows design.
You told me that it's better to use UNICODE all the time.
What if the Win32 Api function doesn't have a UNICODE version.
For example CryptProtectData() takes a BYTE (DATA_BLOB *) which is an unsigned char?

My problem is: I put the size of char array txtbuffer=[200]. If I have a editbox bigger than that, I'll get a error. In (editlength) I have the correct length of edit box. But I cant initialize my char txtbuffer[editglenth]=NULL cause editlength is a integer not constant.

I am pretty new to windows programming, but i get around with small applications.
Now I want to create a window with 10 push buttons, and was just wondering if there is some smart way, maybe in a loop to create multiple buttons.
Also, on a very populated window, is there a way to maybe have the WM_CREATE commands stowed away in another cpp file? Just for readabilty.
I have a Win32 C++ application which works pretty well, but I don't like the GUI and I want to replace it with one designed graphically, a la Windows Forms. What is the best strategy to port my code? I tried creating a new Windows Forms C++ application and got pretty far with it, but was stymied when trying to call my unmanaged functions on a button press. If I can't use Forms to add a GUI without completely rewriting the program, what's my best bet?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am trying to load an icon I created for my program. Relevant code is below:
Code:
//resource.h
#define IDR_MYMENU 103
#define IDR_MYICON 201
#define ID_HELP_NOTICE 40001
#define ID_HELP_ERROR 40002
#define ID_FILE_EXIT 40003

For some reason, the icon fails to load. I ran a breakpoint at the line for the hIconSm and got this error for the variable:
Code: CXX0030: Error: expression cannot be evaluated
The icon image is in the source folder and was compiled via ImageMagick. Google is not giving me any info regarding the error and the icon combined.
I am using visual studio 2012 on windows 7. but, when I have compiled my programs and run them on an older pc to test out its functions, I receive an error saying that the program is not a "valid win32 application." I have even tested this with a very simple hello world console application, but the problem still remains. Where is the error coming from? is the application corrupted during transport? (upload to internet) or are programs compiled on win 7 incompatible with win xp
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get OpenGL to render inside of a Win32 api static control. I've gone through Nehe's tutorial [URL] on how to render to an entire window. I understand how to do that and I can do it, but I'm not totally sure how to get it to render inside of a static control(or any control). The idea is to have a gui built around an OpenGL view. how I could render inside a static or custom win32 control?

View 3 Replies View RelatedYou place a breakpoint at one of locations within the message loop. But I want the breakpoint to trigger when I click on the application window, for example. But I can't, it went so fast so long as I switch from VS to the application program, the breakpoint is hitted again, then the application is frozen again. I don't know how to setup a conditional breakpoint.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI can tons of information by calling DeviceIoControl (such as device ID, device description, whether it's connected or not) since I couldn't do it all with WMI. But I haven't figured out how to get from DeviceIoControl the info that a call to WMI's Win32_PortConnector gets. Are there any calls, directly to DeviceIoControl or something else that for a given device ID or device description would get the PortConnector information?
I would have used a combination of Win32_PortConnector and DeviceIoControl calls but the trouble with PortConnector is that it doesn't provide any information that would allow one to figure out which device ID it belongs to. Why do I need to do this? Because I'd like to get a combination of all the information the two methods provide for a given device such as a USB port, and all I'm getting from Win32_PortConnector is these scant few fields with no other clue:
string Caption;
string ConnectorPinout;
uint16 ConnectorType[];
string CreationClassName;
string Description;
string ExternalReferenceDesignator;
datetime InstallDate;

My setup is as follows:
There is function written C++, that must be compiled to DLL. This DLL is linked to some CAD (computer aded design) tool, that has special interface for it.
I want to add to this function some GUI (graphical user interface). So the creation of a window is necessary.
I've tried already with Win32, but without success.
The problem is that CreateWindow function requires application instance handle, that is provided by Windows itself when window is created in "normal conditions".
I know that if the structure doesn't fit into the stack, it needs to be put onto the heap. But what is maximum size of a win32 stack in usual case?
