Just out of curiosity, how did you arrive at the need for MFC?

I bet you really know the answer to that.

Start by creating an MFC application to move a train. Then add code to move it in one direction. After that, add code to move it in two directions.

it's impossible.
the compiler spins horizontally and the MFC Overwatcher spins vertically, and together these will spin the locomotive engine right off the track.

The question is so bad that"By using computer, keyboard and mouse" can be an answer.
try to refine the question.

Can someone send me a code with an implementation of the original version of Tiny Encryption Algorithm with simple encryption and decryption of texts. Thank you!

Hi all of you. I have a dialogbar from where I open a popup dialog, let say CMyDialog, but it is opened in non modal way, dynamically created:
void CDialogBar::SomeButton()
{
CMyDialog* pDialog = new CMyDialog;
pDialog->Create(...);
}
From that dialogbar, it is possible to know if that CMyDialog is opened ?
void CDialogBar::OtherButton()
{
CWnd* pWnd = FindWindowEx(NULL, NULL, _T("Dialog"), NULL);
ASSERT(NULL != pWnd);
}
but the pWnd is always NULL, even when CMyDialog is open ...
How can I know for sure if that CMyDialog is opened, without making pDialog as member variable of CDialogbar ?

Check that you class name is correct for an MFC Dialog. you should also try to provide values for as many of the parameters as possible.
[edit]
See About Window Classes (Windows)[^] for correct system class names.
|
|
|
|
|
See the hwndParent parameter at FindWindowEx function (Windows)[^]:
Quote: If hwndParent is NULL, the function uses the desktop window as the parent window. The function searches among windows that are child windows of the desktop.
You did not show us the full Create call but if you have passed CDialogBar or any other window of your application as parent you must also pass it to FindWindowEx (using this for the CDialogBar here):
CWnd* pWnd = FindWindowEx(this->GetSafeHwnd(), NULL, _T("Dialog"), NULL);
But you should think about using a member variable. The only thing to do then is clearing the pointer when the dialog is closed. Otherwise you have to check for existance also in your SomeButton function to avoid creating multiple instances of your dialog.

The creation of CMyDialog is:
pMyDialog->Create(CMyDialog::IDD, this);
I will try your advice, I hope to work.
"But you should think about using a member variable. The only thing to do then is clearing the pointer when the dialog is closed. Otherwise you have to check for existance also in your SomeButton function to avoid creating multiple instances of your dialog."
The CMyDialog could have only one instance, so, there is no problem with that.

How do you know that?
If CDialogBar::SomeButton is called again (the name indicates that it requires only a mouse click), you would have multiple instances. When using a member variable you could then activate the existing dialog instead of creating a new one.

The CMyDialog are closed when he lost the focus, so, there is no way to be two (or more) instances.

Quote: The CMyDialog are closed when he lost the focus
OK.
So it is some kind of popup or tooltip window. But the window will loose it's focus when clicking another button (as indicated by your CDialogBar::OtherButton()).
I'm not sure what happens before. So it might be that the window is already destroyed when trying to find the handle. Even if not, you should not use the handle because the window would be destroyed shortly thereafter.

Shouldn't the third parameter to FindWindowEx() be #32770?

I have try also this:
CWnd* pWnd = FindWindowEx(GetSafeHwnd(), NULL, _T("#32770"), NULL);
TRACE(">>>%p\t%d\n", pWnd, pWnd->GetSafeHwnd());
and the result is
>>>00000000 0
Strange ... I guess that only member variable are safe ...

GetSafeHwnd() returns the window handle (HWND), not the CWnd* pointer.
So the result of FindWindowEx() as well as its handle being "0" is obvious!

Good point ! I will try that.

Can I say I have never seen such a ridiculously convoluted way to do this. Doing an atomic string search is first slow, and secondly mildly dangerous and unreliable.
There are two MUCH SAFER standard windows ways to do such a thing and both require you to put code on the dialog handler
1.) In the dialog itself on the WM_INITDIALOG message either post back a message dialog is open, or even just set a global variable to the dialog window. In the WM_DESTROY of the dialog post back a closed message or just zero the global variable to the dialog window.
Something like this is probably the simplest for you
HWND MyDialog = 0;
INT_PTR CALLBACK DialogProc(HWND hDlg, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
...
case WM_INITDIALOG:
...
MyDialog = hDlg;
break;
case WM_DESTROY:
...
MyDialog = 0;
break;
...
2.) In the dialog handler itself respond back to a user WM_APP message with your handle. The message will be enumerated to all windows in your application and you will be the only responder.
INT_PTR CALLBACK DialogProc(HWND hDlg, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
...
case WM_APP + 100:
...
return (hDlg);
...
Method 1 you simply need to look at the global variable MyDialog to know if the dialog is open or not and what it's handle is. Method 2 you use SendMessage(0, WM_APP+100, 0, 0) and if your dialog is open you will get a response back which will the handle to your dialog. If you get 0 back the dialog is not open because no other window will respond to WM_APP + 100.

That is why I chosen to do m_pMyDialog as member variable, and everything it's all right now. Thank you all of you !

I am programming regular C for an embedded ARM processor. I need to declare an array with volatile elements inside it. The location of the array is constant, it's only the elements inside the array that can change and they are, like I said, volatile. What is the correct way to declare it?
A. uint8_t volatile UARTrxBuffer[10];
or
B. volatile uint8_t UARTrxBuffer[10];
or
C: volatile uint8_t volatile UARTrxBuffer[10];
