I found a solution: returning FALSE in my document's OnOpenDocument. I get to deal with the file the user opened, but then I don't have to mess around with a doc or view hanging around. How come nobody told me about that? :cool: Jake

My goal is similar to how Visual Studio opens Project and Workspace files: those file types are associated with VS, but they don't open up Views in the middle of the screen, they just fill in some information. I want to imitate this for opening Projects in my application.:~ thanks, Jake

Does ur application name or path contains space characters? Papa Murex Co. while (TRUE) Papa.WillLove ( Bebe ) ;

Since GetModuleFileName(...) has some restrictions when used under Win9x, I prefer to evaluate the public variable CWinApp::m_pszHelpFilePath.

Hi, I used this function in a CEdit-derived class: void CChatEdit::AddString(LPCTSTR str) { CString tmp; GetWindowText(tmp); if (!tmp.IsEmpty()) tmp += "\\r\\n"; tmp += str; SetWindowText(tmp); LineScroll(GetLineCount()); } To add a line of text and scroll to the bottom. I hope it works for you too :) (you never know) Paolo ------ "airplane is cool, but space shuttle is even better" (J. Kaczorowski)

int l_nMin, l_nMax; m_YourCEdit.GetScrollRange(SB_VERT, &l_nMin, &l_nMax); m_YourCEdit.SetScrollPos(SB_VERT, l_nMax); Name: STR BTW: for some of you that wished for CodeProject irc server I create a channle on DalNet called "#CodeProject"

I think you might get away with something similar to the following; YourDialog.h: class CYourDialog : ... { static CYourDialog * pThis; static LONG SaveCallback ( int nPercent ); }; YourDialog.cpp: CYourDialog * CYourDialog::pThis = NULL; CYourDialog::CYourDialog () { pThis = this; } LONG CYourDialog::SaveCallback ( int nPercent ) { // // use the pThis pointer to access the members/variables of your class // } Ben Burnett --------- On the topic of code with no error handling -- It's not poor coding, it's "optimistic" ;)

It depends on what's stored in the DefaultIcon key. If it's "C:\path\to\your.exe,0" then the icon with the lowest ID (index 0) will be used. If you add icons that changes the relative order of the IDs, then what you're seeing can happen. You can change that to "C:\path\to\your.exe,-102" to use the icon with ID 102 (note the minus sign). --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ A recent survey reports that 1/4 of all internet users in England surf for porn.

I have an OnKillFocus handler on an edit control. If the user presses the window close ("x") button while the focus is on the control, I would like to handle the WM_CLOSE message, however the KillFocus message is being generated first. How can I either determine in the OnKillFocus handler that the user pressed the "x" button, or alternately, what message can I handle that would occur before the KillFocus. As a last resort, is there any way to disable the "x" button? Thanks,

Sweet Jesus it actually worked! I had a non-inline function without the semicolon, and the compiler wasn't happy. Thanks a ton! :) Jake

First. Try to include the header in the header of the class dialog. Second. Check if the value of IDD_DIALOG1 is correct, or if is dupplicated. If the problem persist, try to sen me the project by mail. Good luck!!!! Carlos Antollini.

I'll bet dollars to donuts that Photoshop does not use MFC. You can change your dialog boxes properties in the dialog editor. Christian Secrets of a happy marriage #27: Never go to bed if you are mad at each other. It's more fun to stay up and fight.

Your member function doesn't have the required prototype. It's long PASCAL CBadClass::SaveCallback(int percent) but AVISAVECALLBACK is defined as typedef BOOL (FAR PASCAL * AVISAVECALLBACK)(int); Change the return type of your function to BOOL. And BTW, FAR is obsolete and can be ignored, and PASCAL has been replaced by CALLBACK in Win32. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ "Make sure that if you are using a blow torch that you don't set anything on fire."   -- Chris Maunder

Set "Multiline", but remove "Auto HScroll". If you want to change style bits at runtime, add a CEdit variable associated with the edit control to your dialog class, and use ModifyStyle() function. Paolo ------ "airplane is cool, but space shuttle is even better" (J. Kaczorowski)

Thanks a lot for your help. It's finally working. Jake:-D

My main problem here is that when the Customize dialog begins to show, it disappears again. It's there for less than a second, and my functions to handle the query delete and insert never get called. In the message map: ON_NOTIFY(TBN_QUERYDELETE, IDR_TOOLBAR1, OnQueryDelete) ON_NOTIFY(TBN_QUERYINSERT, IDR_TOOLBAR1, OnQueryInsert) In the header file: afx_msg void OnQueryDelete(TBNOTIFY *tbn, LRESULT *result); afx_msg void OnQueryInsert(TBNOTIFY *tbn, LRESULT *result); Why is the dialog vanishing without ever calling these functions? :confused: thanks, Jake
