I have subclassed CFileDialog. I need to select both file and folder on certain case only. Suppose I have a folder selected and it is containing desired file type. Then in such situation, On clicking open button will not open the selected folder. But just close the CFileDialog with IDOK.
For doing this I need to provide my own implementation for Open button handler. I am not getting how I can do this.
There was an "impovement" since Windows 7 in algorithm for selecting the initial directory, which is described here OPENFILENAME structure. Briefly:
Windows 7:
If lpstrInitialDir has the same value as was passed the first time the application used an Open or Save As dialog box, the path most recently selected by the user is used as the initial directory. Otherwise, if lpstrFile contains a path, that path is the initial directory.
Otherwise, if lpstrInitialDir is not NULL, it specifies the initial directory. If lpstrInitialDir is NULL and the current directory contains any files of the specified filter types, the initial directory is the current directory. Otherwise, the initial directory is the personal files directory of the current user. Otherwise, the initial directory is the Desktop folder.
The problem that this behavior is not what users of my program expect. Another constraint is that I need to use old CFileDialog dialog, not Common File Dialogs. I've tried to use advises described on StackOverflow and on MSDN. This solution by EllisMiller works perfectly:
Specifying a full path (including filename) in lpstrFile. The filename of course shows up in the filename box which is annoying. I ended up using a filename of "." and adding a bit of code to clear the filename combobox once the dialog is open.
BUT I can't figure how to clear the filename combobox. I've tried to add hook procedure, enumerate windows and clear text, but this didn't work for me. So, my question is: how can I clear text in the filename combobox of CFileDialog?
I haven't seen this before but on Windows 7 Home Professional and VC 2012 in one particular app, a CFileDialog displays only the rightmost 11 characters plus the extension of the default file name. The rest of the name is there and you can scroll left in the file name edit to display it all, but initially the text is shifted left so it doesn't all display.
Code:
CFileDialog dlg(TRUE, "csv", strFileName, OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT | OFN_HIDEREADONLY, "Comma Seperated Values Files (*.csv)|*.csv|All Files (*.*)|*.*||");
strFileName can contain anything and it will do it. Even a string literal will do it.
In my attempt to capture multiple files using CFileDialog I discovered that there is a limit on the number of characters in the file name buffer. [URL]
I have used this code to get the file names and it works fine up to the point where the buffer is full. NB: m_vcsPathnames and m_vcsFilenames are std::vector<CString> types.
Code:
// get a list of the files to process
wchar_t szFilters[]= _T("All Files (*.*)|*.*||");
// Create an Open dialog; the default file name extension "*.*"
CFileDialog fileDlg(TRUE, _T(""), _T("*.*"),
OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST| OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT, szFilters, this);
m_vcsPathnames.resize(0);
[code]....
Is there any possible work around for this limitation, other than completely writing my own CFileDialogExx class ?
I use a SEH handler in my code, like this:
__try
{
.. Some codes ...
}
__except(
EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER
)
{
TRACE(_T("Exception"));
}
but get the following compiler errors:
1>e: est.cpp(3310): warning C4509: nonstandard extension used: 'CMyClass::Test' uses SEH and 'iterator' has destructor

I keep having problems with CMFCPropertySheets. I now have it embedded in a resizable dialog and the property sheet and page gets resized when dialog is resized all that is working fine.
Problem is OnSize is being called when the dialog is being resized NOT when it has finished resizing so the values reported in cx and cy is the old size not the size AFTER resizing. What could be causing this? Isn't OnSize call AFTER the size has been changed and OnSizing called WHILE the size is being changed?
I have a list control that needs to take up full rect in each page and when the dialog is maximized it stays at previous size even though the sheet and page have both maximized as they should.
I ran a trace on the OnSize even for both the sheet and page and OnSize is being called during the sizing and not after it has already been sized like it is supposed to.
I have an assignment which includes overriding the prefix and postfix operators, and my teacher has provided what the output from the program should be. I've written the code and it's nearly perfect, except for one tiny error I can't seem to get right.
This is (most of) the code from the header--I left out a few of the parts that aren't relevant to my question:
Code:
using namespace std;
#include<string>
#include<iostream>
class NumDays {
private:
int hours;
[Code] ....
The two problem lines are supposed to be outputting 12 and 1.5, respectively, but are instead showing 13 and 1.625. I know that hours is being changed to 12 at the end of the overriden prefix operation in the line above them, so I don't understand why it returns to 13 again. What I need to change?

class CMyclass
{
public:
CMyClass(BOOL bUseWhichMemManager);
void* operator new(size_t);
void operator delete(void*);
};
I create two memory manager called CMemManager1 and CMemMangaer2, using different algorithms to allocate buffer. Now I want to control which memory manager to be used, when calling new.
I try to add a parameter bUseWhichMemManager to the constructor, but in overrided new function, there are no way to access the parameter. Is there a way to pass more parameters to new operator, such as:
void* operator new(size_t size, BOOL bUseWhichManager);
I am trying to develop a GUI using MFC, but I am having trouble using CFiledialog to save a file. The problem is, the file is not getting saved to the folder when I use the CFiledialog. Below is the code I am using.
Code:
CString szFilter = "XNRep Files (*.xnrep)|*.xnrep||";
CString s = "xnrep";
CString t = "";
CFileDialog fileDlg(FALSE, s, t, NULL, szFilter);
if(fileDlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
{
std::ofstream file;
[Code]....
After the file dialog opens up, I enter the name of the file and select OK button. But the file does not show up in the directory I am saving to.
I'm very new to MFC & VisualC++. I'm using MSVS2010 Pro. I am trying to write/debug a simple form that saves and restores the content of some edit controls. It seems to work as expected, except the file saves only to the Project Folder, regardless of where I browse and select to save the file.
Code:
void CMFC_FileDialogDlg::OnBnClickedbtnsave() {
this->UpdateData();
CFile f;
//Kinda Correct, Works but still saves in Project Folder
BOOL b_OpenFileDialog = FALSE;//this doesn't act as bool in CFileDialog?

My only experience is a little simple VB programming in Excel, so any specific examples??? Also, rules seem to change from version to version? I have to "update" a number of undocumented programs.
I have two menu items. When item 1 is disabled, I want item 2 to be disabled as well. In the OnUpdate handler of menu item 1, I have tried to use "t_pMenu = pCmdUI->m_pMenu;", "t_pMenu = pCmdUI->m_pSubMenu;" and "t_pMenu = pCmdUI->m_pParentMenu;" but I always get NULL t_pMenu. How can I achieve this purpose?
Code:
void CDummyView::OnUpdateMenuItem1(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)
{
if(m_bShowMenuItem1) {
pCmdUI->Enable(TRUE);

I'm trying to create a dialog where some of the buttons have pictures on them, rather than plain text. I notice that under the button's properties, under the "styles" tab there's a checkbox "bitmap". I can't seem to find any easy way of setting a bitmap.

I am not interested in using the owner draw property with CBitmapButton and then have to create a whole lot of bitmaps for all the different button states.
There must be a way to simply create an ordinary button which displays an image rather than or as well as a caption....?

The second one which changes the image to "image2" works fine. Here is the definition of image2:

private Bitmap image2;
System.Reflection.Assembly myAssembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
StreammyStream = myAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream("Regress.Sharing.gif");
image2 = new Bitmap(myStream);
When I do the same with the other image that I want to use, it won't work! I opened the project properties and added the image into the resources too, and it still doesn't work. It fails and says the file was not there. I've put a copy of the file in the root directory and one in "Resources" folder but it still doesn't work.

I've created a new dialog in my MFC dialog based application. the new dialog contains 5 control buttons. The following happens and I don't understand why?
1. click on buttonX. (result ok, OnBnClicked message is sent)
2. click on on any place of the application, but not on the dialog.(removing focus from dialog)
3. click again on buttonX (FAILED, OnBnClicked message is NOT sent). but if instead I click on any other button in the dialog (result ok, OnBnClicked message is sent).
And when I do:
1. ...
2. ...
3. click on the dialog area just to set focus on the dialog again
4. click again on buttonX. (result ok, OnBnClicked message is sent)
**I need to do step 3 only if I want to click again on the buttonX! why?? I think it related to SetFocus() but I m not sure how.
I've tried different style like, tool windows, overlapped, popup. it happens in all the cases.
Code:
class CToolsDlg : public CBDialog {
DECLARE_DYNAMIC(CToolsDlg)
public:
CToolsDlg(CWnd* pParent = NULL); // standard constructor
virtual ~CToolsDlg();
CToolTipCtrl m_ToolsTips;

I have a dialog box with several edit control boxes and I want to identify the edit control when I click the left mouse button on it. Any button action (up or down) doesn;t register when the mouse is clicked on any of the edit controls. There has got to be a simple way to do this.
