Silly question: Have you the Express Edition of VC8?
(Express Edition has NO resource editor).

Did you get any message or warning?

1. No, it is not the Express. It is the full professional version.
2. I do not receive any error message.
Even more strange: I started a new project in order to test this issue. It is the simple dialog with the default buttons, I have not done anything yet.
The dialog editor has been started automatically, and it works as supposed to - however, the resource tab is still empty in the new project as well.
I added a bitmap resource; I could edit it, but after having closed it, the recource tab is still empty.
Moreover, the class view tab too is empty, both in the converted and in the new project.

I am trying to subclass a CTEXT control in my dialog, I am using the following code.
LRESULT CALLBACK SetCommStat(HWND hItem, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
PAINTSTRUCT lpPaintStruct;
switch (message)
{
case WM_PAINT:
BeginPaint(hItem, &lpPaintStruct);
GetDC(hItem);
SetBkColor(hItem, crRED);
EndPaint(hItem, &lpPaintStruct);
ReleaseDC(hwndDlg, hItem);
return(0);
}
return(DefWindowProc(hItem, message, wParam, lParam));
}
I also have the following in the WM_INITDIALOG message handler.
hItemHandle = GetDlgItem(hwndDlg,IND_ONLINE);
int test = SetWindowLong(hItemHandle, GWL_WNDPROC, (LONG)SetCommStat);
1. Am I trapping the wrong message, if so what message should I trap?
2. Why has the call to SetWindowText stopped working?
Thanks for your help.

Should this be CallWindowProc()?

Thank you for prompt reply,
I am not sure, I am taking the example from an online example example and thought that that line returns control to normal message handling.
I'll look into your suggestion.

Are you trying to set the background color of CStatic (CTEXT) ?
If yes, use WM_CTLCOLOR.
I hope this will serve your purpose.

have you noticed you were on a C/C++ forum ?
if you want to code with VBA, then you're not on the right board (nor even on the right site...)

i guess i am on the right board... i am working on mfc..

I had wirtten a query sometime back. now there is another problem. when i embed this control into the dialog box and compile the application i am getting some 35 errors.
the error is something lime this
error C2440: 'type cast' : cannot convert from 'struct IDispatch *' to 'class CSpreadsheet'
No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous.
what is the meaning of this??
is it because the control is not reqistered properly?
Awaiting a favourable reply.
Thanks

I hardly believe is it.
Try to post some code.

I see no difference in the VS 2008 editor.
The control is a Windows control, so the VS version shouldn't matter.
Maybe the editor has changed, but it's what it looks like at runtime
that matters.
