Question

CComboBoxEx does not work on Windows 98 MSLU

Asked by: abdij

Hi,
 Thanks a lot in advance for resolving my query.

 I have found that the class CComboBoxEx does not work on Windows 98 if compiled with _UNICODE flag. On Windows 98 we need the MSLU for Unicode to work. However the CComboBox is not able to InsertItems into its list in such projects.
 I have created sample projects (dialog based) that simulate both the CComboBoxEx::InsertItem() over MSLU and without the _UNIOCODE flag compilation.
 I find that InsertItem works without the _UNIOCDE flag compilation on Windows 98. However when i make it _UNICODE and have the MSLU layer included, i have the problem.
 I will be posting the source code in another comment below.
 I can send the zipped sample projects if somebody is interested.

Thanks and Regards,
Abdij

Win98 does not support UNICODE as is.  You need to have a dll with your app (UNICOWS.dll).  Try installing that on the Win98 system (in the system dir, or the dir your app goes in).  No need to register it.

 

by: abdijPosted on 2003-09-15 at 05:05:25ID: 9362115

Hi AndyAinscow,
 We do have the Unicows installed on the Win 98 system. Also we have followed the correct procedure for building using the Unicows and MSLU. That is the reason we have the application up (otherwise it would crash at ::LoadCursor() during runtime intialization).
 Hence Unicows is not the issue. The issue is that the API concerned is not working. Please note there are hundreds of other API's (including the CComboBox API's) that work.
 Please advice.

Regards,
Abdij

 

by: AndyAinscowPosted on 2003-09-15 at 05:29:08ID: 9362225

Sorry - no further advice.  I don't develop UNICODE, I just happened to know about UNICOWS and thought it was worth a go.

Hi!
May be you need to derive your own class from CComboBoxEx and handle message CBEM_INSERTITEM?
in that handler you can check if the OS is Windows 98 and convert unicode string to the ANSI one?

 

by: abdijPosted on 2003-09-15 at 07:50:23ID: 9363371

Hi Migel,
 A good idea, but unfortunately we are the end of the project and are suddenly facing this problem. If i do that, then there might be lot of area's that i need to relook.
 However, i agree that the idea is a good one. I will try it out in a sample and see if it can be merged with my main application seamlessly. If the cost of integration is more, we will have to look at some other option.

 But, my fundamental query is: WHY SHOULD THE API FAIL? WHY IS IT NOT DOCUMENTED IN MSDN or SOMEWHERE IN MICROSOFT SITE? WHY IS IT NOT LISTED IN THE LIST OF API's UNSUPPORTED OVER MSLU?

 Certainly this is not good stuff from MS.

Regards,
Abdij

You can just replace your CComboBoxEx declarations to the new one :-)

Hi Migel,
 I tried doing it, but it does not work.

 Here is what i did. I had CMyComboBoxEx derived from CComboBoxEx. I added a handler for the CBEN_INSERTITEM and a whole bunch of other controls.

 However i find that the OnInsertitem() function which is the handler for CBEN_INSERTITEM is never called, inspite of the call to InsertItem() in the code. However strangely other functions do get called.

Regards,
Abdij

Hi!
code please :-)
note that UNICODE VERSION uses CBEN_INSERTITEMW message
handle can look like this:
LRESULT CMyComboBoxEx::OnInsertItem(WPARAM wp, LPARAM lp)
{
COMBOBOXEXITEMW* pComboW = (COMBOBOXEXITEMW*)lp;
COMBOBOXEXITEMA itemA;
// copy here from pComboW to itemA
// and convert text to ANSI one
return SendMessage(CBEN_INSERTITEMA, wp, (LPARAM)&itemA);
}

 

by: abdijPosted on 2003-09-15 at 21:08:20ID: 9368017

Hi Migel,
 When i derived my class from CComboBoxEx and added the handler from ClassWizard, the handler looked like void CMyComboBoxEx::OnInsertitem(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult) .
 Also when i do a InsertItem(&cbItem); i see that the MFC sends the CBEN_INSERTITEM message. I do not know if it internally translates to CBEN_INSERTITEMW on Unicode (as i cannot debug!).
 However i see that the code never comes to the handler.
 Can you please post a sample code for me please?

Thanks and Regards,
Abdij

 

by: abdijPosted on 2003-09-15 at 21:11:42ID: 9368028

Hi Migel,
 Apart from adding the classwizard handler for CBEN_INSERTITEM, i have done nothing. I wait on a breakpoint there.
 Also i tried mapping CBEN_INSERTITEMW to a function. But i got the error "error C2065: 'CBEN_INSERTITEMW' : undeclared identifier". The same for 'CBEN_INSERTITEMA'.
 Please advice.

Thanks and Regards,
Abdij

Hi,
 Found the resolution to the problem. I needed to install "50comupd.exe" which installs the Common Window Controls. I however still need to figure out why the ASCII version worked and the UNICODE version failed. Is this update necessary for UNICODE Common Window Controls to work?

Regards,
Abdij

Hi!
1. you use notify reflection - it is wrong solution in your case.
You need to manually add handler to the class by this code
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(...)
/// here !!!
   ON_MESSAGE(CBEN_INSERTITEMW, OnInsertItemW)
//// rest of message map
2. You use old commctrl.h file - it shows you old comctl32.dll interface - in this case your solution simlpe
