Is there a way to create a modeless dialog box in C++ MFC which always stays on top of the other windows in the application? I'm thinking sort of like the Find dialog in Visual Studio 2005 - where it stays on top, but you can still edit the underlying text. (If it makes any difference, it's not MDI; it's a dialog-based app) ...

This question is related to my previous one. I have an MFC (VC6) MDI Application which has several MDI child windows acting as different views for one document. Is it possible to set one of those frames to stay on top of the others? I have tried to call SetWindowPos( &GetParentFrame()->wndTopMost, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP...

I want to write a small utility in MFC which sends the Ctrl+Alt+Del message to OS. Can any one help me how do I achieve this ? I tried ::PostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_HOTKEY, 0, MAKELONG( MOD_CONTROL | MOD_ALT, VK_DELETE)); But this is not working. Thanks. I want to Send Ctl+Alt+Del not to invoke TaskMgr.exe.

I'm localizing an MFC app into Japanese, and have the resources working right. My current problem is that, when I use AfxMessageBox, or MessageBox, the dialog title and button messages come up in English, and I haven't found anywhere to change that. I haven't found anything useful searching MSDN or Google. So, Does this work? Does W...
Last week I wrote a few lines of code in C# to fire up a large text file (300,000 lines) into a Dictionary. It took ten minutes to write and it executed in less than a second. Now I'm converting that piece of code into C++ (because I need it in an old C++ COM object). I've spent two days on it this far. :-( Although the productivity di...

I was debugging an application and encountered following code: int Func() { try { CSingleLock aLock(&m_CriticalSection, TRUE); { //user code } } catch(...) { //exception handling } return -1; } m_CriticalSection is CCricialSection. I found that user code throws an exception such that m_CriticalSection is...
This question provides more clarity on the problem described here. I did some more investigation and found that the stack unwinding is not happening in the following piece of code: class One { public: int x ; }; class Wrapper { public: Wrapper(CString csText):mcsText(csText) { CString csTempText; csTempText.Format...
I have a C++ MFC application that uses DPtoLP to calculate logical coordinates from device coordinates. Normally this works fine. I have a screen with square pixels. It is 1280x1024. My VMware runs W2K, with a resolution set to 800x480. In the program the MapMode is MM_LOMETRIC. My OnDraw code: void CMyView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC) { // TE...
I'm currently experiencing a very strange problem with a CComboBox used within a CFormView. After adding strings to the combobox (created with WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP | WS_VSCROLL | CBS_DROPDOWN | CBS_SORT | CBS_AUTOHSCROLL), I'm selecting an entry via CComboBox::SetCurSel and resize the combobox via MoveWindow in the OnSize(...
I have a custom CTabCtrl which I am trying to customize (to automatically change pages). If I handle ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT(TCN_SELCHANGE, ...) in my tab control, ON_NOTIFY(TCN_SELCHANGE, ...) is not received by the parent class. How can I receive both notify messages in the child and parent classes? Currently I am using a "workaround" of...
I have an MFC project, that is linking to a third party dll. At program exit, the IDE reports back that "Detected memory leaks!" and dumps the leaks. These leaks are from the third party dll. I'm pretty sure that these are falsely being reported. (A quick Google check states that MFC checks for memory leaks, before the CRT destroys v...
When using a CStatusBarCtrl in MFC I use GetItemRect to get the bounds of each item within the CStatusBar. However I am seeing a problem now I use an XP manifest in the exe. That it will not return a correct rectangle so I no longer identify correctly when the mouse is in the far right of the control. The problem can be tested with a m...
Hello, I have a menu button inside a CMFCToolbar and I would like to replace the bitmap of the button each time a different entry is selected in the menu as each entry has its own icon. I succeed in changing the icon using CMFCToolBarMenuButton::SetImage but it changes the icon in the menu entry too... Too bad. Here is a sample...
Dear All, It's possible to use TRACE macro as printf like function (variable argument list) . If it supports this facility, then why it's necessary to have TRACE0, TRACE1 and TRACE2 macros except they're imposing restrictions on number of arguments. Again, I'd like to know if there are any advantages on restricting number of arguments f...
We've just recently switched our C++ MFC Application from VS2005 to VS2008. Unfortunately in doing so our UI has appearance problems, with things like group boxes appearing blue rather than black, properties dialogs having a white background etc. I presume that in VS2008, MFC has been changed to respect the OS theme (in my case XP defaul...
