I am not sure what's happening, but in release mode whenever I run it from MS Visual C++ interface that menu item doesnt work as it should be, but when I run the application directly from release folder of the project it runs fine.

How can I change the state of toolbar buttons at runtime. I tried using OnUpdateUI methods and it seems not to do what it is supposed to do. Is there any other way to do this?? I would like to enable or disable some toolbar buttons based upon user selection from menu.
thanks,
PKNT

I am over my head again with the implementation of this "class" / structure.
Could someone please explain to me why the following code does what it does?
CRuntimeClass *pView_Tab = pVisualObject_tab->m_pRuntimeClass;
This code shows "normal " CRuntimeClass members of class CMyTabView.
CMyTabView *pTab = (CMyTabView*) pVisualObject_tab->m_pRuntimeClass;
pTab->AddTab("TEST");
And this one has same pointer and show the CMyTabView class and lets me run the AddTab of CMyTabView.
I have a debug trace but cannot paste it here
until I figure out how to copy it from IDE!
I need to run the AddTab function and like to know why these two lines have same pointer with “different results”.
I don’t think my code is right since it needs a cast to make it work. I think it defeats the intent of access to “runtime class”.
Thanks for you help.
Cheers

I'm not sure I like that cast. Where did you get that code from?
What is pVisualObject_tab?

I don't like it either - the cast.
pVisualObject_tab is plain C++ class - not derived from anything!
(Maybe I should try to derive it from CObject - any thoughts on that?)
And the m_pRuntimeClass is CRuntimeClass *m_pRuntimeClass member of it.
I am really confused with this class / structure - it points to what?
It is "defined" as RUNTIME_CLASS(CMyTabView) but it does not let me access the class functions.
Thanks for your help Mark.

Hmm, well you can cast pointers to other types but that doesn't change what the
pointer really points to. Just because the compiler lets you do it doesn't make it right.
The fact that you needed a cast should always be a warning sign.
Maybe back up a bit - what are you wanting or trying to do?

My basic problem is to understand how to access the runtime class using the CRuntimeClass structure.
I'll go back to books for now.
Thanks Vaclav

I'm not convinced. I think your basic problem is you don't know "why" you think you need to access the runtime class. I think you are assuming you need to access the runtime class. You may be right, you may be wrong, I don't know.

Here's a good place to start: CRuntimeClass Structure[^]
Maybe led mike linked to that as well - I'm too lazy to click his links

My initial reaction to your post is WTF?
You don't appear to have a proper understanding of CRuntimeClass.
Also....
Vaclav_Sal wrote: This code shows "normal " CRuntimeClass members of class CMyTabView.
What does "This code shows" mean?
Vaclav_Sal wrote: And this one has same pointer and show the CMyTabView class
again with the "show". Are you talking about viewing the pointer in the debugger? If so you don't appear to understand what "casting" is and how the debugger "watch" feature works. If you tell it a "foo" is a "bar" then it's going to show you the structure of a "bar" object in memory because that's what you told it to do when you "cast" it. It doesn't mean that the pointer actually points to a "bar" structure in memory.
Seems to me you need to do study casting a while longer until you understand it more completely. Perhaps you could start here[^].

Well my initial reaction was - thanks for nothing!
Would I ask these questions if I fully understood the subject of CRuntimeClass?
I do appreciate the link, thanks.

They maybe are sometimes a bit rude, but usually the "nothing" answers have helpfull information too. Just need to re read and analize without "offended feeling" (at least that's what I try when I get a "rude" answer)

Nelek, your comments are appreciated.
I am well aware that everybody is different.
I don't think Led Mike was rude. I am just not impressed by his "WTF" remark as his first reaction and than him restating the obvious that I did not know the subject well. His link was constructive suggestion and appreciated.
PS The “mystery” of utilizing RUNTIME_CLASS macro is almost solved thanks to everybody input.

Hi,
I'm reposting my problem with vertical scroling since no one is replaying eany more on my first thread.
So what I want is wnen I use mouse wheel to get scrolling faster, so upon sugetion from Nelek I'm doing this:
<br />
BOOL CMyView::OnMouseWheel(UINT nFlags, short zDelta, CPoint pt)<br />
{<br />
int pos =GetScrollPos( SB_VERT );<br />
if (zDelta>0)<br />
OnVScroll(3*SB_LINEUP,pos,NULL);<br />
else if (zDelta<0)<br />
OnVScroll(3*SB_LINEDOWN,pos,NULL);<br />
return TRUE;<br />
}<br />
When I scroll by LINEDOWN it's OK, but when I do the oposite (SB_LINEUP) it has no effect, scrolling it slow again.
Why?
Thanks!

I don't know why, but have you tried with -3 * SB_LINEDOWN ??
Have you checked if SB_LINEDOWN == - SB_LINEUP ?
Mappng mode, one direction must be the different sign of the other

What are you doing, man?
josip cagalj wrote: if (zDelta>0)
OnVScroll(3*SB_LINEUP,pos,NULL);
else if (zDelta<0)
OnVScroll(3*SB_LINEDOWN,pos,NULL);
Since (see winuser.h)
...
#define SB_LINEUP 0
#define SB_LINELEFT 0
#define SB_LINEDOWN 1
#define SB_LINERIGHT 1
#define SB_PAGEUP 2
#define SB_PAGELEFT 2
#define SB_PAGEDOWN 3
...
3*SB_LINEUP evaluates to SB_LINEUP itself.
while
SB_LINEDOWN evaluates to SB_PAGEDOWN.
Moving the wheel, you scroll a line up, a page down.

He wants to increase the speed on scrolling.
BTW, I thought the working area is 10 pages and 100 lines.
Quote from VC++ help:
You specify the amounts to scroll horizontally and vertically in logical units. By default, if the user clicks a scroll bar shaft outside of the scroll box, CScrollView scrolls a “page.” If the user clicks a scroll arrow at either end of a scroll bar, CScrollView scrolls a “line.” By default, a page is 1/10 of the total size of the view; a line is 1/10 of the page size. Override these default values by passing custom sizes in the SetScrollSizes member function. For example, you might set the horizontal size to some fraction of the width of the total size and the vertical size to the height of a line in the current font.
And winuser.h it says that page = 3*line...
Can you explain a bit more about? Because I am the one who told him to use the X*SB_PAGEUP/DOWN the other day. And now is a bit conusing for me too.

I think the above is the right approach.
On the other hand, the OP is hacking the nSBCode argument (of the method OnVScroll) that is just (MSDN):
a scroll-bar code that indicates the user's scrolling request.
i.e. a qualitative parameter rather than a quantitative one (like the amount of requested scroll).
Hope that helps

It depends on many things. I used this quantitative solution insteads of overriding the SetScrollSizes because my boss wanted UP/DOWN keys to scroll accuratelly and the wheel to do it faster but not changing a page that must stay as it was with PageUp/Down.
I finally used that N*SB_LINEUP/DOWN actually I used +-N*SB_LINEDOWN for the wheel to make it 3 times faster than keys or bar-arrow-clicks as he wanted.
And, as it worked fine for me (work right doesn't mean to be right, I know), I gave that option to him as well. Is there any way to do it just with "qualitative" parameter? Because I found no "fourth" messure to scroll a view. Just these 3: sizeTotal, sizePage, sizeLine...
VC++ 6.0
How can I solve that issue in a correct way?

-N*SB_LINEDOWN (with N>0) should be meaningless to standard OnVScroll.
Even overriding OnVScroll to re-intepreter its first parameter doesn't seem to me a good design choice.

Aham,
then... how should I make to have a 3-speed scrolling as I explained but in a good structure? Line with arrow keys, middle with Wheel and Page with pageup/down keys or out the little bar at the scrollbar.

Well a quite rude, but simple solution maybe issuing three times the call to OnVScroll (PostMessage ?) with either SB_LINEDOWN or SB_LINEUP.

Don't change it just because I told about: before you have to find my points valid.

Once again thank you both for yours participation on this thread!
You helped me indeed.
If I realy did call pageup it suit's me. It's my fault for not checking this option before. I thought pageup/down would be big for my needs, but this is ok!
P.S.
For Nelek: pageup/down doesn't scroll a whole page (at least not in my case), I mesured when I do scroll(using mouse wheel) it takes 11 scroll lines (up/down keys)to go back at start position.
P.P.S.
my setscrollsize:
SetScrollSizes( MM_TEXT, CSize(m_nMaxX+30, m_nMaxY+90));
where m_nMaxX and m_nMaxY are from my Client rectangle!
