Hi,
   Is there any way to set the backgroud as an Image to a Dialog?

Nishad S10-May-06 21:36

Sure... you can do it by drawing the image on OnEraseBkgnd or OnPaint, or by placing a picture static control with the same size of the dialog. Smile | :)

Hi,
   It is working. But when I try to add 'Microsoft FlexGrid Control, Version 6.0' on that dialog & run the application; then FlexGrid Control is not visible on that dialog.

   Do you have any solution to show FlexGrid Control on a Dialog having background image.

Thanks,
  Aniket

What did you do? I think you used a picture static control, right?

Hi,
   Yes, you are right. I use Picture Contol with 'Bitmap' Type & on that I place 'FlexGird' Control.
   What is the proper way to do it?
   I dont what to write in OnEraseBkgnd or OnPaint & how to use them.

Thanks,
  Aniket

Try this
GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC_BMP)->ModifyStyle( 0, WS_CLIPSIBLINGS );

Try this
GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC_BMP)->ModifyStyle( 0, WS_CLIPSIBLINGS );

I forgot to say that it should be placed in OnInitDialog Smile | :)

Hi,
    Thanks for 
       GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC_BMP)->ModifyStyle( 0, WS_CLIPSIBLINGS );
    What this statement do?

   I add this line in 'OnInitDialog()', but there is no any progress.
   'FlexGrid' control is not visible. Actually it is behind that image. And I am trying to display 'FlexGrid' on that image.
   
Thanks,
 Aniket

I didnot try it using FlexGrid, but it is working for ListBox and Picture control.
WS_CLIPSIBLING style will make the picture control to be clipped by the other sibling controls.

Now you can:
1. Make sure that there is no transparency style is set to picture control.
2. Try to change the tab order also.
3. If it does not fix the problem, try to set the FlexGrid to top of the picture control in zorder using SetWindowPos.

And please let me know the status Smile | :)

Hi,
Thanks, atlast it work by changing Tab Order & changing style of picture control to WS_CLIPSIBLING. But I can't do it by setting Z-Order of 'FlexGrid' in SetWindowPos().

Thanks once again for giving your valueable time.
Aniket.

Try looking on a wonderful site called codeproject!

A simple search[^] with the terms dialog and bitmap gives a nice list - the first item is an article by Nish, which means its guaranteed to be good.

static and Updatedata

I have written static function and i am calling UpdateData() from this static function. It's giving error - Can't call non-static from static.
What is the solution? Please help me.

Don't use a static function to host code which requires access to per instance state.

In addition to Stephen's answer: static member functions are not 'owned' by a particular instance of a class (they are 'shared' across all instances in fact). So this means they cannot access non-static member functions or variables (because this will require to know with which instance of the class they are dealing, which is impossible).
So, why do you need to have a static function ? Is there a specific reason for that ? I guess that you can simply change it into a non-static one.
If not, then provide more informations.

If you cannot change the static function to and non-static, from where is this static function called? Does it have the HWND of the dialog?

10-May-06 22:05

No, it doesn't have the HWND of the dialog.
Anyway I have converted from static to non-static. It is working.
Thank you very much for the help.
