Visual C++ :: Positioning Of Window On Desktop
Jul 10, 2013
I have a CFormView derived window which I would like to position at run time. In particular when the user clicks a button I would like to shfit the CFormView window and open up a new Dialog window so that the two do not overlap.
I have created the CFormView window and the dialog window - how to shfit the CFormView window?
I shift the Dialog window as follows in OnInitDialog: SetWindowPos(NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOZORDER);

Is it possible to specify the size/position of tabs in an MFC MDI tabbed application?
I am trying to save the open tabs when exiting the program and restoring them when the application is relaunched. I have come up with a method of saving and reloading the tabs, but I cannot restore their position.
I have seen SaveMDIState and LoadMDIState but I can't make it do anything and I'm also not sure if it's what I need.

I'm struggling with the pan gesture in a desktop application for my Surface Pro 2.
I simply want to pan (or "swipe" if you prefer) with two fingers, but it doesn't behave like I want it to. If I put two fingers on the screen and move them straight diagonally, I receive a series of client coordinates that are aligned in a vertical or horizontal direction. Only if I perform some circular motion, then it's suddenly possible to move diagonally and receive coordinates accordingly.
I've tried with MFC, by overriding CView::OnGesturePan. I've also tried with a sample project provided by Intel, that handles the GID_PAN message in WndProc to move a rectangle around, but with the very same result. The project can be downloaded from [URL] ... fordesktop.zip, so you can quickly reproduce the behaviour if you have a touch screen.
Code:
void GestureHandler::handlePan(HWND hWnd, GESTUREINFO gi) {
if (gi.dwFlags & GF_BEGIN) {
m_first.x = gi.ptsLocation.x;
m_first.y = gi.ptsLocation.y;
[Code] .....
I first thought it had to do with the points being too close to each other. I mean, if two points lies only one pixel apart, it can only result in eight different directions. But if I modify the code to only update "m_first" when the distance between the points are greater than some minimum distance, the points still keep being projected to a horizontal or vertical line relative to the first starting point.

How can I do this??
Suppose I have Win2008server and many users from defferent domains log in, so every user has its own session.
How can I obtain from the session the domain name of the user who logged in to server??

I am trying to position and sf::Text relatively to another sf::Text. Not over, or beneath or anything like that, but after- like so:
theTexts.push_back(UnitOfText(Text(outputstring,defaultFont, 15),theColor));
int i = (theTexts.size() - 1);
std::cout << i;
sf::FloatRect textRect ( theTexts[i].theText.getLocalBounds() );
theTexts[i].theText.setOrigin (textRect.width / 2, textRect.height / 2);
if(theTexts.size() > 1)
{
theTexts[i].theText.setPosition(theTexts[i - 1].theText.getLocalBounds().left,theTexts[i - 1].theText.getLocalBounds().top);
}

I want program to make bitmap from my Window. I also want to do add some additional steps which I will try to add later. But now I want to ask you how to fix the code. For some reason when I debug the code (break on line 73 of capture.cpp) there the pointer pBitmap is 0x00000000 . So how to correct the code to successfully capture Window? Here I give the complete codes:
stdafx.h
Code:
#pragma once
#include "targetver.h"
#include <stdio.h>
[Code].....
Feel free to set correct name of Window on line 17 for FindWindow() function.
PS: The code is remake of script to capture screen, which saved the bitmap to file. This is not what I want because I would be content if I could send (or maybe share!) the bitmap to ahk script which will ask my C++ program for the bitmap.

I have a child window above an edit control.
When the position of the control in the parent in the child on top of it is clicked the control gets topmost. Is there any way to prevent this?

I'm trying to minimize an Excel window using c++. but it doesn't work.
Code:
//Save the PID
HWND hWnd = FindWindowA(NULL, (LPCSTR)pXlApp);
GetWindowThreadProcessId(hWnd, &proccesID);
// Make it visible
[Code].....
I checked the HWND is not null, but is not visible....
Code: bool visible=IsWindowVisible(hWnd);
and visible=false, but the window is Visible (I see the Excel file)

I am developing a MDI application that will contain a RibbonBar and a Properties Pane window. The MDI documents are not tabbed. I am finding that when I try to move the client window around, it gets clipped by the RibbonBar and the Properties Pane window (shown in image). I know the client window cannot go outside the client area, but can the client window be on top of the ribbon bar and the properties pane window?
I am using VStudio 2008.

I know I can set the window properties on creation, but I'm trying to figure out how to prevent a window from being able to be moved or resized. I've been looking online and it looks like it involves overriding the WM_SIZE, WM_SIZING, or perhaps the WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED message handlers. I want to be able to have a menu option that "locks" the window position, and of course allows normal window behavior when the option isn't checked.

how to split a child window in an MFC MDI program.
Splitting Child Window in MFC MDI Program
[URL]
For my purposes, this achievement is practically useless because I cannot find a way to pass text from one CRichEditView window to another.
Given two CRichEditView windows, CInputViewView and COutputView as child windows in an MFC MDI app, my goal is to capture text in the former and print that text in the later using a button click.
Using what appeared to me to be a logical way to proceed, I tried variations of the following code:
Code:
void CMainFrame::DoSomething() {
//MessageBox(_T("Like What ?"), _T("Do Something"));
//CInputViewView * pin = (CInputViewView*) GetActiveView();
CInputViewView * pin = (CInputViewView*)m_wndSplitter.GetPane(0,0);
pin->GetWindowTextW(m_csDisplay);
[Code] ....
None of this works and even the attempt to access the pane results in an app crash in winsplit.cpp.
Code:
#ifdef _DEBUG
void CSplitterWnd::AssertValid() const {
CWnd::AssertValid();
>ASSERT(m_nMaxRows >= 1);
//..

I used to use OutputDebugString, and not using it now because it only allows to strings to be outputted, are there any methods that I can dump virtually anything to the console?
cout << thing << endl;
But what if I am not start running the program from the command prompt?

Is there some document, that describe the sequence of actions, that result in displaying of a Dialog Window from a .DLL.
One important detail - the Dialog Window is created via resource/toolbox inteface.
Below is code from some example (which works), that displays simple window (with client area inside it).
In this code the window class is ctreated inside of application class.
Here is extract from application class:
Code:
class CMyWindow : public CFrameWnd {
CStatic* cs;
public:
CMyWindow();
};
CMyWindow::CMyWindow() {
Create(NULL, L"MyWindow", WS_VISIBLE, CRect(0,0,200,200));
[code].....
Where is my mistake ?

I have created an exam environment for our schools, it comprises of 3 files; a .kix file that says if they are in the examination group run a .vbs file. The .vbs file kills the explorer.exe task so they don't have any taskbar or desktop shortcuts and then opens a .hta file.
The .hta file is a user interface that has icons for apps like Win Word that executes the application when you click on it. There is also a log off button.
Looking for some code that stops the students from being able to close, minimise and resize the window. Looking for code that can lock this down so they literally can't do anything except click the icons inside the window.

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 am encountering a problem on retrieving the Window Proc of a window that running in a process with another user.
For example, I have logon windows with domainuser1, and run the following command as:
runas /profile /env /user:domainuser2 C:WindowsSystem32calc.exe
And then the Calculator is shown in domainuser1 desktop, but the process is running in domainuser2 account.
When running Spy++ (either wither domainuser1 or domainuser2) to view the calculator window, the Windoe Proc field is shown 'Unavailable' I also try to call GetWindowLong against this window, it will always returns NULL.
I am just wondering if it is possible to retrieve the Window Proc of the window running in a process of another account, is is possible?

I've been using code that takes a bitmap and then changes the color:
private void GetPixel(Bitmap ProcessedBitmap)
{
unsafe
{
[Code].....
Instead of using a Bitmap image (jpg, png, etc), I would like to use the desktop. I'm trying to scan my desktop for a pixel color using lockbits (GetPixel was way too slow.). I also do not wish to change the color of anything, I just want to loop until the pixel is found (with my getpixel method, I just put an if/then statement in the for loop). Something like:
if((CurrentPixel.R == 0xff) && (CurrentPixel.G == 0xff) && (CurrentPixel.B == 0xff)) Then
MsgBox("Pixel Found!")

How can I check if window media player is running in full screen mode & topmost in c++ MFC?
What I used is this logic:
I compared media player full screen coordinates to that of monitor coordinates.If they are same implies media player is in fullscreen.But it has one flaw.Whenever there are control(for play,pause) displayed in full screen in media player, coordinates are not coming same as that of monitor.

We have a C++ 5.0 app that does something like this:
Creates the excel dispatch, exports the data, etc...
...
then calls these functions:
xlsApp.SetDisplayAlerts(TRUE);
xlsApp.SetVisible(TRUE);
xlsApp.SetUserControl(TRUE);
This has always worked to display the excel spreadsheet in the foreground, most recently on Windows Server 2003.
Now, testing on Windows Server 2008, the excel spreadsheet is created, but in the background. How to force it to the foreground?

write a program that will connect my laptop to my desktop unlike gotomypc.com. I want to have my desktop hooked up to a router and sends video and audio info to my laptop. At the same time my laptop will be sending it's keyboard and mouse. If there is an audio input from a microphone it will send that to the desktop. If the webcam needs to be used for something like Skype, it will send that to the desktop too. I think it would be faster for the laptop to process any flash drives, but it should be able to send that to the desktop too. Has a program like this already been created? Is C++ an optimal language to write the program in?
