ATL / WTL / STL

24-Oct-11 11:21

I have some third party code that has stopped working since I moved to VS2010.

A popup color picker now no longer pops up from it's source button. Ultimately, its CWnd::CreateEx call fails (technically the call to AfxCtxCreateWindowEx). GetLastError says 0x00000579 (Invalid menu handle). It doesn't have a menu.

The same code works in VS6.

Any suggestions?

My CREATESTRUCT in CWnd::CreateEx looks like this:
<edit -="" get="" the="" right="" one="" this="" time!="">

lpCreateParams	0x00000000	                void *
hInstance	0x00400000 {unused=9460301 }	HINSTANCE__ *
hMenu	        0x00000000 {unused=??? }	HMENU__ *
hwndParent	0x008a06be {unused=0 }	        HWND__ *
cy	        294	int
cx	        278	int
y	        673	int
x	        571	int
style	        -771751935	                long
lpszName	0x00000000 <Bad Ptr>	        const char *
lpszClass	0x00168828 "Afx:00400000:800"	const char *
dwExStyle	0	                        unsigned long

I see a menu handle in the above, but this may not be valid for some combinations of Window styles.

You're right - I edited to put the right one in!

C++

style	        -771751935
// equates to
style	        0xD2000001

and includes both WS_CHILD and WS_POPUP, which is an illegal combination according to the documentation[^].

Thanks Richard - that is a good lead! In the meantime I found that the invalid menu handle message was coming from PreCreateWindow.

This is because:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\SRC\WINCORE.CPP

C++

BOOL CWnd::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
    if (cs.lpszClass == NULL)
    {
        // make sure the default window class is registered
        VERIFY(AfxDeferRegisterClass(AFX_WND_REG));

        // no WNDCLASS provided - use child window default
        ASSERT(cs.style & WS_CHILD);
        cs.lpszClass = _afxWnd;
    }
    return TRUE;
}

but

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\atlmfc\src\mfc\wincore.cpp

C++

BOOL CWnd::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
    if (cs.lpszClass == NULL)
    {
        // make sure the default window class is registered
        VERIFY(AfxDeferRegisterClass(AFX_WND_REG));

        // no WNDCLASS provided - use child window default
        ASSERT(cs.style & WS_CHILD);
        cs.lpszClass = _afxWnd;
    }

    if ((cs.hMenu == NULL) && (cs.style & WS_CHILD))
    {
        cs.hMenu = (HMENU)(UINT_PTR)this;
    }

    return TRUE;
}

How to add ActiveX control to a WTL main frame

This turned out to be the problem, cheers!

Hi all, do you know how to add a ActiveX control to a WTL main frame? I searched quite a lot and it seems all samples are using a dialog inheriting CAxDialogImpl while I do not want to use dialogs. Is it possible to host ActiveX control directly from main frame (which inherits from CFrameWindowImpl)?

Thanks in advance.

If you don't want a dialog what about using a View derived from CWindowImpl to host the ActiveX control?

Come to think of it I seem to remember ATL or WTL has window templates designed to host ActiveX controls. I think there's an example on the net that designs and implements a 'Bullseye' ActiveX control.

syslog.h analog in WIndows

Hello.

I'm porting a *nix C code to Windows using MingW.
Having trouble with syslog.h.

Is there any syslog.h analog in Windows so that I could include the headers like:

#ifdef WIN32
  #include <windows header>
#else
  #include <syslog.h>
#endif

?

Thank you.

I have problem with codecvt<>

Cold_Fearing_Bird6-Oct-11 0:59

locale loc("chs");
mbstate_t mystate;
char origin[] = "追求追求";
wchar_t  dest[9] =   { 0 };
const char * pc;
wchar_t * pwc;

const codecvt<wchar_t,char,mbstate_t>& myfacet = 
	use_facet<codecvt<wchar_t,char,mbstate_t> >(loc);

codecvt<>.in() translates char into wchar_t characters, but the first letter of origin[] is always translated wrong,the remaining characters are fine.
could someone help me out?

I have tried the line of code that you complain about, but it compiles successfully. Please try and be more clear about your problem.

I want to write a REG_MULTI_SZ value (e.g 100-104) in registry. My code is like

<pre lang="c++">HKEY objHKey;
CString strReturn;
CString subkey("SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\Tcpip\\Parameters");

// Open Registry key for Vlc Path
if( RegOpenKey( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
(LPCTSTR)subkey, // what to open
&objHKey // on success, handle goes here
) == ERROR_SUCCESS )
{
unsigned char * format = new unsigned char [100];
unsigned char p1[5] = "998";
unsigned char p2[5] = "999";
sprintf((char*)format, "%s\\0%s\\0\\0", p1, p2);
int ILenght = 20;//strlen(format);

unsigned char *ptr= (unsigned char *) strTemp.GetBuffer(0);

if(ERROR_SUCCESS != RegSetValueEx(objHKey,
_T("ReservedPorts"),
NULL,
REG_MULTI_SZ,
//(BYTE*)_T("1000-1004"),
ptr,
strTemp.GetLength()))

{
AfxMessageBox(_T("Failed to update in registry."));
}

// Close the registry
RegCloseKey( objHKey );
}</pre>

But this is not updating in registry.
