LOGFONT to CHARFORMAT

Thought someone might require this conversion.


LogfontToCharformat(LOGFONT & lf, COLORREF & cr, CHARFORMAT & cf)
{

	cf.cbSize = sizeof(CHARFORMAT);
	cf.dwMask = CFM_COLOR | CFM_FACE | CFM_SIZE | CFM_CHARSET
        | CFM_BOLD | CFM_ITALIC | CFM_UNDERLINE | CFM_STRIKEOUT | CFM_OFFSET;
	cf.dwEffects = 0;

	if (lf.lfWeight >= FW_BOLD)
	{
		cf.dwEffects |= CFE_BOLD;
	}

	if (lf.lfUnderline)
	{
		cf.dwEffects |= CFE_UNDERLINE;
	}

	if (lf.lfItalic)
	{
		cf.dwEffects |= CFE_ITALIC;
	}

	if (lf.lfStrikeOut)
	{
		cf.dwEffects |= CFE_STRIKEOUT;
	}

	//temporary create DC
	CDC dc;
	dc.CreateDC(_T("DISPLAY"),NULL,NULL,NULL);
	cf.yHeight = 20*long( 0.5 + fabs(double(72*lf.lfHeight)/dc.GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSY)));
	dc.DeleteDC();

	cf.yOffset = 0;
	cf.crTextColor = cr;
	cf.bCharSet = lf.lfCharSet;
	cf.bPitchAndFamily = lf.lfPitchAndFamily;
	_tcscpy_s(cf.szFaceName, LF_FACESIZE, lf.lfFaceName);

SendInput Function

about 3 years ago - No comments

We had to use the “SendInput Function” to send keystrokes to any active window in our program PikyFolders.
We had troubles using it first. We also referred to many other samples on the Internet. But still it was not clear that after sending every keystroke we must also send the same keystroke with the KEYEVENTF_KEYUP flag More >

Using SetForegroundWindow to activate another process’ window

Sometimes, you may launch another process using CreateProcess or ShellExecute API. But the focus may remain in the current process instead of the new process that you just spawned. You might see the new process’ window button More >
