A CWaitingTreeCtrl-derived class to display network resources

Sample Image - sample.gif

CNetworkTreeCtrl

This is just an example of a content provider class (see the article CWaitingTreeCtrl), which overrides the PopulateItem virtual function to show network resources only when the user wants to access them.

You may specify the network resource to be used as the root of the tree control, as well as what kind of resources to be shown in the last level. You may also get specific information about the network resource associated with an existing item. To communicate with the class, you can use the standard NETRESOURCE structure and related flags.

User interface features are those offered by the base class and can be further personalized with custom animations.

Class Reference

CNetworkTreeCtrl::RefreshNetworkRoot

C++
BOOL RefreshNetworkRoot(LPNETRESOURCE pRoot, DWORD dwStopAtDisplayType =
                                                  RESOURCEDISPLAYTYPE_GENERIC)

It associates a network resource with the root item and refreshes the tree items in the first level. It also sets what kind of container resources must not be further enumerated.

The first argument pRoot is the address of the network resource you want as the root of the tree control. A value of NULL means the network root.

The dwStopAtDisplayType argument could take the same values as the dwDisplayType field of the NETRESOURCE structure. It specifies the last level of network resources that will be visible in the tree control.

The return value is TRUE if you specified a valid resource, FALSE otherwise.

CNetworkTreeCtrl::GetItemResource

C++
BOOL GetItemResource(HTREEITEM hItem, LPNETRESOURCE pNr)

It retrieves the network resource associated to the specified item. If successful, the return value is TRUE and the structure pointed by pNr contains valid data, otherwise the return value is FALSE.

Updates

  • Initial public release

Conclusion

Please note that this class is not fully functional. So far, it can be used only in a dialog, but I will work on it when I have more time. I released this version to provide an example of a content provider for my CWaitingTreeCtrl class (see the article).

Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. I plan to use this control in a new version of our NetSend utility, see this. Also, the latest beta releases of this class could be found here, for test only purpose.

Paolo began programming at the age of 9 with a glorious Olivetti M24 (i8086) and GW-BASIC, then he played a bit with Turbo C, Turbo Pascal and Assembly (using the MS-DOS Debug). Quick BASIC and Visual Basic shortly followed, until he learned C++ in College. He tought himself MFC and Windows programming, along with some DHTML and Javascript.

Always attracted by low-level programming and Assembly, he started to appreciate the joys of templates and STL while working for his Master Thesis. For seven months he was playing with airplanes and automatic control at the Unversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he first met QNX and embedded systems.

In his job experience he learned Java to develop user interfaces and graphical editors, and re-discovered the Eclipse IDE that he had used in its early versions with the QNX SDK. He also deepened his knowledge of Linux and embedded systems, microcontrollers firmware and embedded voice recognition, while also practicing electronics design.

He graduated in Computer Engineering (Ingegneria informatica) at the University of Pisa, Italy, in December 2003. Currently working for an electronics and robotics company (www.robotechsrl.com).

He lives in Pisa and in Follonica (GR), Italy.

Smile | :) Excuse me!
Could you please tell me how to serialize all the data from a treectrl and populate the tree with the data that serialized in a dialog based application?
