Sorry. My bad. I've managed to find my problem - it has to do with FreeLibrary getting called by a class destructor even before my dialog was displayed :( On a related note, anyone have experience using InitMUILanguage to change the language of the common controls? I just tried it with the French Language ID (0x0c0c) on a US English XP but its not working. I'm wondering if its due to : 1) my system not having the French language installed? (not likely as I'm under the impression that the default US English Windows XP includes most European language support) 2) I read in a newsgroup that InitMUILanguage must be called before AtlInitCommonControls? (I can't even find AtlInitCommonControls in my code!) Any advice is much appreciated! -------------------------------------------- Need help with your spelling in the forum?

Hi all, Recently I got to download and try out my app in the latest IE7 beta. Everything works fine except for a minor UI glitch - my control manipulates the DOM but apparently, the doc does not refresh until its forced to redraw due to some user actions (e.g. moving a window over it, etc). Being a perfectionist ;P, I tried to fix them from within my app by posting a WM_PAINT message to the doc to force the redraw. Well, it works for most cases EXCEPT if the contents being manipulated is in a DIV tag. *bummer* :doh: This "written from scratch" browser better make good on its promise on security for causing me so much grief! :mad: Ok, enough gripe. :laugh: Anyone else having problems with this new browser update? -------------------------------------------- Need help with your spelling in the forum?

Hi all, Recently I began work localizing my apps. My source of reference is the satdll sample found in MSDN (based on MFC however). I'm using _Module.SetResourceInstance() to point the app to my external resource dll and it seems to work as my built-in resouces are no longer used. However, the trouble is my new resources in the dll is not showing up as well (all my dialogs are skipped and message strings appear empty). I've made sure that my resource IDs are the same but I've set the language attribute to something other than English (e.g. my french res dll will have all resources specified as French (France)). Any advise/pointers is much appreciated. Cheers Sidney -------------------------------------------- Need help with your spelling in the forum?

I get this problem too... it actually started with VS 6.0. I basically gave up and just accepted the extra click :( -------------------------------------------- Need help with your spelling in the forum?

Coming soon to a browser near u - auto-correct and check-as-you-type! Well, those are planned features. Lemme get the multi-dict and options out of the way first. Plus I wanna check the stability on a wider install base before moving onto more "advanced" features.

This is a bug. It occurs when you activate iespell in a spawned window (using ctrl-N). If you move the iespell's dialog around the window alittle + click anywhere inside IE's window, IE will start redrawing again. May take awhile for me to fix this cuz I'm still trying to figure out what exactly caused this behaviour.

Noted. Will do so accordingly in the near future. BTW, I didn't know that such a section existed cuz I've always assumed CodeProject to be a source for coding tips and guides!

Just a FYI for you guys using the iespell on this forum. Btw, I have set up a discussion forum over at yahoo groups for discussing bug reports, feature requests or simply to get updates on new releases. So if you are keen, please sign up at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/iespell/join. Some support would be appreciated :) Cheers Sidney <---- update details start ----> A new version of iespell is available now. You can get it at http://www.freewebz.com/iespell Changes in this version: Main enhancement in this release is the ability to handle documents with frames. This will fix the problems some users are having when using web mails/forums that use frames (such as yahoo mail). This release also fixed the problem of highlighting partial or incorrect words on the page (the word being checked by the spell checker is correct though). Another cosmetic change involved the use of "Tahoma" font instead of "MS Sans Serif" font by the dialog boxes so that they look better on XP systems with ClearType turned on. As always, suggestions and bug reports are greatly appreciated. <---- update details end ---->

FYI, the group policy editor exist only in the pro version of XP. Home version owners don't get it :((

Hi guys, Awhile back (actually quite awhile back), someone (with particularly bad spelling, u know who u r ;p) was complaining abt not having a spellcheck utility on CodeProject. Well, I had a bit of free time recently and since Chris still hasn't managed to get around implementing one, I figured that a spell checker browser extension would be a nifty tool to have. And since its a client-side solution, its much faster than a server-side implementation, plus u get to use it (together with a single personal wordlist) across all ur forums and webmails! This is an early beta release; Since I got the idea here, I figured I should let u guys have the first crack at it. Oh, I just got started on creating the website for it so apologies for the lack of info and broken links on the site. ok, enuff said.. get it at http://www.freewebz.com/iespell.

Hmm... Could it be you have installed the version for left handers? ;P

Hi guys, check out this 2 remakes of the classic STARWARS. man, some people just have too time on their hands....;P http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/28/23154.html

You might want to try this handy addin by Andy Metcalfe: http://www.codeproject.com/macro/resorg.asp It may help to solve your resource id woes. :) Cheers

Yes you are allowed to call other functions in those methods. But note that in your particular case, you should be using OnInitDialog instead of OnInitInstance -- sample pulled from MSDN -- IMPT NOTE: Remember to call the base class' OnInitDialog as shown in the sample!!

// MyDialog.cpp
#include "MyDialog.h"

BOOL CMyDialog::OnInitDialog()
{
//call the base implementation first!
CDialog::OnInitDialog();

// TODO: Add extra initialization here
m_cMyEdit.SetWindowText("My Name"); // Initialize control values
m_cMyList.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE); // Show or hide a control, etc.

return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
// EXCEPTION: OCX Property Pages should return FALSE
}

Well, here's the problem... the control hasn't been created yet! MFC's UI classes are really wrappers around the Win32 equivalents. Having constructed the class does not imply that the corresponding controls have been created. So what you want to do is the following: (1) create a data member (a string or an array of strings maybe?) in your child dialog to hold the data thats going into the combo box. (2) set this data member after you have created the child dialog but before the call to DoModal (DUH!) (3) override OnInitDialog of the child dialog (or OnCreate if its not a dialog) to pass this data into the combo box using AddString or InsertString, whichever you prefer. --update-- Oh bugger, Masaaki beat me to it..... ;p my link sux! :mad:
