CTreeCtrl: editing items question 8-Mar-02 0:55 8-Mar-02 0:55  Hi, I have editing of sub items enabled in a tree control. Is there any way that I can restrict the users input to numbers as you can with a normal CEdit control? Thanks Matthew also, if anyone knows this it would be great. If I activate the IME during editing an item, the input isn't displayed very well at all as the bounding box for the text when editing begins isn't sufficient. Is there are fix for this? cheers Matthew Re: CTreeCtrl: editing items question Tomasz Sowinski8-Mar-02 1:07 Tomasz Sowinski 8-Mar-02 1:07  You'll probably have to subclass the tree edit control and catch the keystrokes. Easier, slightly different way is to handle TVN_ENDLABELEDIT notification. In the handler, you can verify the text typed into edit control. If verification fails, you'd display msgbox with appropriate text, then call CTreeCtrl::EditLabel.

Matthew Layered Controls Derek Lakin8-Mar-02 0:33 Derek Lakin 8-Mar-02 0:33  I need to get a certain look and feel that involves placing controls on top of each other. IN particular, atm, I'm using a CStatic-derived class to change the background colour to the window colour (usually white), and then it has a client edge on it to make it look like a standard edit box. On top of these I then need a combination of static controls, bitmaps, buttons, edit boxes and radio buttons. (The look I'm going for is like the IE search window, but without using HTML). My problem is that when controls are placed above another control they then don't receive focus, so I can't enter text or click on buttons. So, what can I do to 'deactivate' the bottom control? I've tried setting it to the bottom of the Z-order and everything else above it, but no joy Is the answer to just paint it on to the dialog using Draw3DRect and FillSolidRect? In which case should it be in the OnPaint handler and will the controls above it get drawn properly? Derek Lakin. I wish I was what I thought I was when I wished I was what I am.

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.
