The error message is clear: at the point the compiler encounters sizeof(struct Node) (or sizeof(nd), or whatever...) it doesn't know the size, because the complete declaration of struct Node is missing.
You could post the relevant code, in order to get better help.

in visual studio c++ / x64:
what are way safest to convert from:
1.INT_PTR to int?
2.LRESULT to BOOL?
3.LRESULT to int?

CPallini21-Aug-23 21:41

21-Aug-23 21:41

There is no 'safe way' to do those 'conversions'.
On x64 the int data type is a 32-bit integer, while both INT_PTR and LRESULT are 64-bit integers (long long, see Windows Data Types (BaseTsd.h) - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn[^]), hence such conversions would 'narrow'.
Also, I believe there is no 'safe way' to convert a LRESULT to a BOOL, because the former value depends on context (see, for instance, Writing the Window Procedure - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn[^]).

Hi,

If you want to detect overflows, underflows, truncation. The Shell team provided the intsafe.h header.

The IntPtrToInt function will at least warn you if the pointer was truncated.

CPallini gave great advice, there really isn't a "safe" conversion. But you can at least detect overflows and underflows.

can one change int to LRESULT?.

change from
int c = ...
to
LRESULT c = ...

also change from
void func(int p,..
to
void func(LRESULT p,...

The question is, why would you want to do such a thing? The LRESULT type has a specific meaning and purpose, which is not the same as an int, or any other basic, type.

Hi,
Got two items to ask. First, is there a library available for c++ mfc that can write results to PDF?. libHARU is deoendent on zlib , libpng, etc. Like to try something more straight forward and free. secondly, is there a possibility to save a CDialog to PDF file?. Poke tongue | ;-P

Get LVN_MARQUEEBEGIN in CListCtrl

18-Aug-23 22:03

You could just print what you want using Microsoft Print to PDF printer.

When I googled certainly seem to suggest that.

"C++" pdf libary

Not free (I don't think) but years ago Crystal Reports had an API and among many outputs possible was PDF.

I have a class inherited from CListCtrl. Why I didn't get LVN_MARQUEEBEGIN notification in the method OnNotify() of my class when clicking and dragging??? Frown | :(

C++

BOOL CListCtrlEx::OnNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, LRESULT*
pResult)
{
    LPNMLISTVIEW pnmv = (LPNMLISTVIEW)lParam;

    switch(pnmv->hdr.code){
      case LVN_MARQUEEBEGIN:
        ; // Deal with some case here.
      break;
    }

    return CListCtrl::OnNotify(wParam, lParam, pResult);
}

Then perhaps you'll describe how you are doing the "dragging" anw how and in what class you are handling this notification... Suspicious | :suss:

Li Lin 202321-Aug-23 16:29

Click the left button, hold on it and move the mouse to somewhere else, no any message receive... My codes as below:

<pre lang="C++">

BOOL CListCtrlEx::OnNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, LRESULT*
pResult)
{
LPNMLISTVIEW pnmv = (LPNMLISTVIEW)lParam;

switch(pnmv->hdr.code){
case LVN_MARQUEEBEGIN:
; // Deal with some case here.
break;
}

return CListCtrl::OnNotify(wParam, lParam, pResult);
}

This method is trigged only when move mouse into the dialog which contains CListCtrlEx object, message type is TTN_GETDISPINFOW.

Victor Nijegorodov21-Aug-23 22:47

21-Aug-23 22:47

I added the message handler for LVN_MARQUEEBEGIN in my CListCtrl derived class:

C++

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CListOptionsCtrl, CListCtrl)
   ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT(LVN_MARQUEEBEGIN, &CListOptionsCtrl::OnLvnMarqueeBegin)
...
void CListOptionsCtrl::OnLvnMarqueeBegin(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
   LPNMLISTVIEW pNMLV = reinterpret_cast<LPNMLISTVIEW>(pNMHDR);
   // TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
   *pResult = 0;
}

and it does work. Suspicious | :suss:

Where is the MFC ON_NOTIFY table that defines the captures? Note also that the notification goes first to the list control's parent window, so you need to capture it there.
