I am trying to create a simple dialog in MFC using Visual C++. My problem is that when I get the dialog on the screen and try to type in an Edit Box field, if I type the letter 'a' once, it appears in the edit box as 'aaaaaaaaaaa' (that's 12 a's). Furthermore, if I try to navigate around in the box using the arrow keys, the carat moves...
Hi, I was coding with 2 CStringList objects. Each has its own data, for eg one has name and other the phoneno, and both are in sync, i.e, if there is a phoneno there is a name and viceversa. Now, i have 2 combobox in which i show the names and the respective phonenos. The name combobox is sorted, hence the sync between the two goes fo...

As all Property Pages are not of the same height, I have a mechanism to increase the size if necessary. For this, I have overridden the OnActivatePage method and by using SetWindowPos, I can resize the sheet, first, then...

I'd like to change this so that the query goes over securely, with server authentication, using SSL.

I've just added one of the new (MFC Feature Pack) CVSListBox controls to a project. The list of items in the control is tracked by some other objects in my application, so I need to take lots of notifications from the list-box when anything changes so that I can update other stuff. For those that don't know the control, there is a butt...
I have these two lines of code. CString strHost = AfxGetApp()->GetProfileString(_T("WebServices"), _T("Server")); AfxMessageBox(strHost); Nowhere in the app do I set the value. (the installer does that). So the strHost, should be the same no matter where or when this line is run. Here's what I've got. Press A -> run function that ...
I'm using the CPoint class from MFC. There is no explicitly defined assignment operator or copy constructor (AFAIK). Yet, this works: CPoint p1(1, 2), p2; p2 = p1; // p2 now is equal to p1 I'm assuming this is working automagically because of a compiler generated assignment operator. Correct? If so, can I be confident that this isn'...

Hello, I'd like to check if the system is in standby mode, is there any Win32 API for that? I'm not sure if it's the same as the sleep mode. There's some code that gets executed in my app, which causes it to hang when coming out of standby (it's executed during the standby mode), so I'd like to avoid running that code when the computer...

But, meanwhile, I have also the requirement of displaying an icon on the buttons. For this, I am marking the buttons as ownerdrawn=true, and able to display icon, but in this case,...
I want to self-draw the title bar of a window with MFC. So I override the OnNcPaint() method of CMainFrame. Everything seems alright, until I click the item in the control menu to make it minimize or maximize. During the minizing or maximizing process, I can see the original title bar appeared. I don't know why this happened. Maybe there...
