Re: Layered Controls Tomasz Sowinski8-Mar-02 0:43 Tomasz Sowinski 8-Mar-02 0:43  Where are you going to place the 'layered' controls? In the dialog or CView-derived class? Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com Re: Layered Controls Derek Lakin8-Mar-02 2:40 Derek Lakin 8-Mar-02 2:40  They're in a dialog-derived class, on a CFormView-derived class. Basically, I want to reproduce the IE search window on a tab page in a tab control which is displayed on a CFormView-derived class, but I don't want to use an html window. Derek Lakin.

Re: Layered Controls Tomasz Sowinski8-Mar-02 2:44 Tomasz Sowinski 8-Mar-02 2:44  So what's the reason for static control? Can't you just handle WM_ERASEBKGND? Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com Re: Layered Controls Derek Lakin8-Mar-02 2:45 Derek Lakin 8-Mar-02 2:45  You mean in the dialog, to draw the required effect underneath? Derek Lakin. I wish I was what I thought I was when I wished I was what I am. Salamander Software Ltd. Re: Layered Controls Tomasz Sowinski8-Mar-02 2:48 Tomasz Sowinski 8-Mar-02 2:48  Exactly. I'm assuming that you need static for some fancy background stuff - is that correct? Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com Re: Layered Controls Derek Lakin8-Mar-02 2:57 Derek Lakin 8-Mar-02 2:57  Using a static control just gave me a quick and easy way to produce something that looked like a normal window (sunken 3D edges, window coloured background). My poblem is that after trying several attempts with SetWindowPos, etc I could either have the controls painted properly above the static, giving the requried look, or I could have the functionality of the controls (button clicks and entering text in to edit boxes), but they are painted under the static So what's a better way? Handle WM_ERASEBKGND in the dialog and just paint using draw3drect and fillsolidrect and dispense with the static control? Derek Lakin. I wish I was what I thought I was when I wished I was what I am. Salamander Software Ltd. Re: Layered Controls Tomasz Sowinski8-Mar-02 3:05 Tomasz Sowinski 8-Mar-02 3:05  Well, what's easier: 1) creating a static and handling WM_SIZE to cover the dialog with static 2) handling WM_ERASEBKGND and drawing dialog surface in the 'sunken' state? I'd go for (2). For actual backgroud drawing, I'd call DrawEdge. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com Re: Layered Controls Derek Lakin8-Mar-02 4:08 Derek Lakin 8-Mar-02 4:08  OK, that works, thanks (i've gone for the WM_ERASEBKGND option). Next question, how do I change the background colour for a radio button? I've tried extending the CButton class and handling either WM_PAINT or WM_ERASBKGND or WM_CTLCOLOR or WM_CTLCOLOR_REFLECT, but none of the handler's got called Derek Lakin.

While there are some problems with WM_CTLCOLORBTN and push buttons, your WM_ERASEBKGND and WM_PAINT handlers should be called without problems. You may have a look at May'97 issue of MSJ - in the C++ QA column there's a discussion about providing custom backgrounds for CFormView-derived classes.

THe problem was I hadn't added the relevant DDX_Control calls The required handler was for WM_CTLCOLOR_REFLECT. Derek Lakin. I wish I was what I thought I was when I wished I was what I am.

Closing a application grace fully created by Createprocess() Abhishek Narula7-Mar-02 22:14 Abhishek Narula 7-Mar-02 22:14  Our Purpose is to Launch an application , once launched and when closed by the user it performs the task that we want that application to. but if Terminate that application by TerminateProcess() , since its a abnormal closing , it does not perform what it should perform on a Gracefull exit. Now what I was thinking of is , If we could some how get HWND of this Process which we have created by CreateProcess() , then we could send WM_QUIT to this Hwnd , which would then do the task Grace fully, see what I am saying . Now problem is how to get this Damn HWND .. Help !! Abhishek Narula "Learn to appreciate others ...

Ignore my post please [which is the most round about way to do this ] Nish Bow wow wow, Yippee yo yippee yay, My miniputt high, Is now 30 yay. Re: Closing a application grace fully created by Createprocess() Nish Nishant7-Mar-02 23:05 Nish Nishant 7-Mar-02 23:05  Use EnumWindows to enumerate all top level windows. For each HWND do a GetWindowThreadProcessId to get the thread ID. Now compare with the dwThreadId you got from your PROCESS_INFORMATION struct that you passed to CreateProcess. If they match post a WM_CLOSE to that window Nish Bow wow wow, Yippee yo yippee yay, My miniputt high, Is now 30 yay. Problem on destroying a modal dialog box Hans Ruck7-Mar-02 21:57 Hans Ruck 7-Mar-02 21:57  I try to destroy a modal dialog box on exiting a MFC application. To do this, i use DestroyWindow on the dialog window's handle; as a result it allways generates a runtime error. If you know how to handle it, please let me know. rechi Re: Problem on destroying a modal dialog box Christian Graus7-Mar-02 22:20 Christian Graus 7-Mar-02 22:20  I reckon the problem is it's trying to destroy it after you've already done so. If it's a modal dialog, it must be the main one, right ? The framework deals with this for you. Christian The tragedy of cyberspace - that so much can travel so far, and yet mean so little.

Unfortunately, i can't let the framework to do the job for me; i really have to destroy it "by hand". rechi
