By default, Visual Studio sets the LBS_SORT style (forcing alphabetic sort) when adds a Listbox control to your window. To remove it, in the Resource View pane, select the Listbox and then set the Sort property to False.

You are welcome.
BTW: I really don't know why they think alphabetic sort should be the default.

Another approach would be to left-pad the numbers with a 0. That may go against your design, however.

Hi. Well... I'am trying to make my own transparent button, but i need to rotate it to. I tryed to use SetWorldTransform function to make a rotation, but it results in clean dialog. Pls tell me what do i do wrong?

	void MPictureBox::DrawItem(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpDrawItemStruct)
	{
	
		CDC* pDC;
		pDC = CDC::FromHandle(lpDrawItemStruct->hDC);
		m_rtfmdc = new CDC;  
		m_rtfmdc->CreateCompatibleDC(pDC);
		m_rtfmdc->SelectObject(m_bmp);

/*	  XFORM xf = {cos(angle),   sin(angle),
                  -sin(angle), cos(angle),
                  0, 0};*/   
	  
		int Rotate=1;
		XFORM xf = {0,1,-1,0,0,0}; //angle = 90
	int OldMode = SetGraphicsMode(*pDC,GM_ADVANCED); 	
	  SetWorldTransform(*pDC,&xf);
		
	  switch (MBStyle)
	  {
	  case MBUT_TRANSPARENT:
			 pDC->TransparentBlt(0,0,ButSize,ButSize,m_rtfmdc,ButSize*ImageNumb,0,ButSize,ButSize,RGB(0,0,0));
			break;
	  case MBUT_SOLID:
			pDC->BitBlt(0,0,ButSize,ButSize,m_rtfmdc,ButSize*ImageNumb,0,SRCCOPY);
			break;

		default: 
			MessageBoxA("Nepravilnie parametri prozrachnosti");
		}
		SetGraphicsMode(*pDC, OldMode);
		m_rtfmdc->DeleteDC();

What kind of reason will cause CWnd derived class failed to be created?

transoft8-Oct-09 11:31

Hi

I designed (using VS class wizard) a class which was derived from CWnd. I did following in my View.

The Create function will return "0". According to MSDN, it failed.

pRulerX = new CRuler();

int ret = pRulerX->Create(_T(""), _T("rulerx"), WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, CRect(0, 0, pRulerX->RulerHeight, pRulerX->RulerHeight), this, 55355);

From debug:
ret = 0;
pRulerX's m_hWnd is "NULL"

Thanks,

_T("") is different from NULL or 0.
The first parameter of Create can be NULL or 0, but not _T("").

Just to add, hope you have valid values for pRulerX->RulerHeight and pRulerX->RulerHeight.

I changed as following:

int ret = pRulerX->Create("CRuler", "rulerx", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, CRect(0, 0, 0, 0), this, 55355);

the "ret" is still "0".

If you look at the documentation of CWnd::Create[^] you will see that the first parameter of Create must be either NULL or a name that is registered using the AfxRegisterWndClass function or one of the predetermined class names.

Try this -

int ret = pRulerX->Create(0, "rulerx", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, CRect(0, 0, 0, 0), this, 55355);

MFC application using different Windows theme

Myzrael8-Oct-09 8:50

Hello everybody,

My question is if it is possible for a MFC application to use a theme, different from the theme of the Windows itself e.g the application to use "Windows XP" theme (or some modified theme) and the Windows to use "Windows Classic" theme. If there is some way of doing that I would appreciate a clue or two =].

Greetings, Peter

There are a lot of samples in codeproject talking about this topic. Just search for it using key word "theme".

VS 2008 can generate this type of application.

Is there any way ,that i could access to special icons like "My Document" Folder icon or "Contacts" Folder Icon or even "My Computer" Icon of the operating system.

I know how to access system Image list using this function

HIMAGELIST GetSystemImageListOfSmallIcons()const {
	HIMAGELIST himl;
	SHFILEINFO sfi;
	himl = (HIMAGELIST) (::SHGetFileInfo( _T(""), 0, &sfi, sizeof(sfi), SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX | SHGFI_SMALLICON));
	return himl;
}

but is there any way ,that i could access to special icons like "My Document" Folder icon or "Contacts" Folder Icon or even "My Computer" Icon of the operating system.

This should get you the MyComputer icon:

HICON GetMyComputerIcon()
{
    HICON Icon = NULL;
    LPITEMIDLIST IDPath;
    if (SUCCEEDED(SHGetFolderLocation(m_hWnd, CSIDL_DRIVES, NULL, 0, &IDPath)))
    {
      SHFILEINFO Info = {0};
      if (SHGetFileInfo((LPCTSTR)IDPath, 0, &Info, sizeof(Info), SHGFI_ICON | SHGFI_LARGEICON | SHGFI_PIDL)) Icon = Info.hIcon;
      ILFree(IDPath);
    }
    return Icon;
}

Ah, and one more thing, don't forget to delete the icon if you are done with it.

overloading left-shift operator to output to stringstream

Sauce!8-Oct-09 6:25

Sauce!

I'm sure you all know about how to overload the left-shift operator for an std::ostream in order to output the contents of a class's members using the familiar cout syntax. A refresher for those who dont;

inline friend std::ostream &operator <<(std::ostream &os, const myClass &rhs)
{
	os << rhs.someMember;
	
	return os;
}

And of course, to use this operator we simply do the following;

myClass foo;
std::cout << foo;

Now, I'm working with stringstreams and need to be able to output in a similar manner, however I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the same behaviour out of stringstreams. The code I'm trying simply won't work.

inline friend std::stringstream &operator <<(std::stringstream &ss, const myClass &rhs)
{
	ss << rhs.someMember;

	return ss;
}

I then do the following;

myClass foo;
std::stringstream ss;
ss << foo;

This gives me the compiler error (when attempting to use said operator) -

error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'myClass' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

If that's not the correct syntax, then what is? Is it possible to do at all?
