Using the tab you can switch to the next control. In my apps, the control I've dragged first on the dialog is first on focus and so on for the others...
How can I change this order without having to change the focus manualy through the code?

Just starting with the visual ide. Slightly different approach than coding it yourself

ok,... i like to type my questions in, like using the index in MSDN. my question this time will be textcolor "like changing it from white to blue or somthing like that."
I first jumped into MSDN to look up text color,... in Index mode there are three C++ things i can choose from. "I want to do everything using the win32 app console project... (just noting it  )
there is:
1. Visual C++ Documintation.
2. Visual C++, platform SDK, and win ce docs
and
3. visual c++, platform SDK, and enterprise docs.
first question is: What one should i select to get the results to my questions most relative?
second question is: how do i now what help files will help me with my project "win32 con. app." so that i dont get them consfused with MFC n so n so?
Third question is: How do you use the syntax that the help files give you? "there is a bunch of code that i do not know how to use... the help files just list the code and seem to hope you know hoe to apply it to you code" (I dont know how to apply it)(to make it work)
Thanks for the help!

COLORREF SetTextColor( COLORREF clr );
This is out of the MSDN help file... Supposely it sets the text color "that is exactly what i want to do)
How do i use this line in my code "applying it"? And what header goes with it? is it "#include "afxcmn.h""
Thanks all

This is mostly done in the OnCtlColor handler. For example:
<br />
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CDummyDlg, CDialog)<br />
...<br />
ON_WM_CTLCOLOR()<br />
END_MESSAGE_MAP()<br />
<br />
HBRUSH CDummyDlg::OnCtlColor( CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor )<br />
{HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC,pWnd,nCtlColor); <br />
pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255,0,0));<br />
return hbr;<br />
}<br />
This will tell every control in the dialog (who are kind enough to ask) to paint text red. Check nCtlColor if you want the color to go somewhere special. If you want another backcolor, this is also the place to go. Make the return value into the desired brush.

The simple answer is that none of that stuff will let you change text colour in a console app. That's why Bill invented Windows!

Hi.
I began learning and practice MFC three months ago. The first month was the toughest because I was down right lost after reading the first nine chapters from Prosise's book. However, everything changed after I first studied from Richand Jones' introduction to MFC. Everything Prosise discusses became clear and only now do I begin to appreciate the information Prosise offers in his book.
Next, I would like to move on to more specific tools i.e. networking or COM. I have no experience with COM and networking programming using C++. My ultimately goal, however, is to design and implement network programs such as an ftp server (my dream).
What is there after MFC? I am an MFC beginner, but I have confident I can work with the tools MFC offers relatively well.
I am very interested in networking programming, but COM is something that is quite popular. I saw good review on C++ Networking Programming Volumn 1 by Douglas C. Schmidt, Stephen D. Huston. What do you recommend? As for COM, I am not sure where to start. Nonetheless, COM is something I want to consider, if not now, then after networking.
Thanks,
Kuphryn

I'd recommend COM, because it will give you a chance to break free of MFC and learn how to live without it. Not that MFC in inherently bad, but it would be bad to find yourself tied to it. Johnothan Bates 'Building Lightweight Components Using ATL' is the best book I found for learning COM.

Okay. Thanks.
To this day I do not and cannot understand why some many programmers dislike MFC.

yer i like it...i think its the "purists"

take this into consideration: there are far more help available to MFC programming and such a wonderful forum to turn to when there is any problem, I would say that I like MFC better.

Okay.
I decided on a network programming book.
I placed on order for this:
Network Programming for Microsoft Windows, Second Edition
by Anthony Jones.
I have considered C++ Network Programming Volume 1 by Douglas C. Schmidt and Stephen D. Huston. However, in the end I decided to go with Networking Programming for Microsoft Windows, Second Edition because my primary objective is to design and implement Windows programming using C++. I believe Jones' book will become invaluable for Windows applications.

I have a tree control that works fine. When it reads from a file to get info it has been able to successfully get about 80( the highest i have that doesnt crash) pieces of info without freezing. However, I have 3 files that have about 200-300 pieces of info and if I try to open those it freezes up. Is this because of the large amount of info being stored in the tree or is it just another example of my bad programming skills?

I don't think TreeView is the reason.. maybe if you post some code.

This definitely isn't a tree control problem. You can get 100,000+ items in a tree control, but I wouldn't recomend it.

"In CEdit::OnCtlColor you can change text,backgroud color of control". <- Good idea ! But if edit has WS_DISABLED then calling CDC::SetTextColor member function you change nothing 
Have anyone solution to change text color of edit while is in disable-state ??
Thanks

Are you calling this in OnCtlColor(...)?
Try call it in there, because I'm sure it's in there you're going to add it if you want to change color even if it has WS_DISABLED style!

I think you have to do some custom painting in the disabled case. In disabled mode a CEdit uses CDC::GrayString or something like that to draw the text. OnCtlColor is not even called.
On the other hand this might confuse your users. Really need to do it?

Hey~
How do you add a control to the main menu in an MFC app?
Example:
______________________________________________________
|[] My App _ [] X |
______________________________________________________
| |
| File Edit Help [control here] |
| |
|_____________________________________________________|
| |
| Toolbar here |
|_____________________________________________________|
I have no problem adding a control to the end of the toolbar... I just locate the proper coordinates and MoveWindow(). I tried that approach to display it over the menu at the right hand side (see above), but it won't display correctly... it's as if the menu is repainting itself over the control. The toolbar doesn't repaint itself over the control, though.
Thanks in advance!

There is an article here on CP in how to do that... sorry to give you the big job to find it!

I am very puzzled by this one. Previously, when one wanted to have a custom enum in the typelib, he simply put it in the library section of the idl file:
library SomeLib
{
typedef enum { someval } MyEnum;
}
and voila.
But with VC.NET, and attributed C++, how do you do that??? I tried the following:
[module .....];
[export, public]
typedef enum { someval } MyEnum;
but the declaration is not part of the typelib, since it is before the library statement in the generated idl file.
Anyone have tried this before? Is it still possible to do it? Do I have to switch back to non-attributed C++???

It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time to say anything in it, because we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a very long time to say, and to listen to.
