Hi
just implement it in your app's view-class. Just add a line in the OnInitialUpdate:

CMyView::OnInitialUpdate()<br />
{<br />
  SetWindowText("This is my child window title!");<br />
  CBaseClassView::OnInitialUpdate();<br />
}

Hope this helps!

You could try with GetParentFrame()->SetWindowText(...), but your title will be changed by MFC. To get this right, you need to override the following CMDIChildWnd method:

void OnUpdateFrameTitle(BOOL bAddToTitle);

In your implementation, call 'GetMDIFrame()->OnUpdateFrameTitle(bAddToTitle);' first, then set the caption with a call to AfxSetWindowText (reduces flicker).

SendInput is located between the following preprocessor directives:

#if (_WIN32_WINNT > 0x0400)
...
#endif

Define _WIN32_WINNT with value greater than 0x0400 before including winuser.h and you'll be OK.

Thank you for your reply.
I write the code according to you:
...
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#include "winuser.h"
...
but it report the same error "undeclared identifier".
is there other reason?
Thanks again!

Place the #define in stdafx.h, before any #includes.

Button inside a listbox?

Moak18-Aug-02 20:24

Hi GUI coders,
I try to create a ownerdraw listbox which has a fixed button in the upper right corner. Fixed button means here, it always is at the same local position (drawn over listbox entries). Basically, it should look like this (o = button).

_______________
|            o ||
|              ||
|              ||
|              ||
|              ||
|______________||

I already have an ownerdraw CListbox class and an ownedraw CButton class (MFC). Now, how would I integrate my ownerdraw button? Can I use my existing button class (1. somehow one button dynamically created over the listbox)... or do I need to handle everything on my own (2. somehow inside my listbox class)??? At the end I'd like to have a new control. Thanks for any hint or ideas. Currently I have no idea how to start.

Thanks, Moak Smile | :)

PS: What's the idea of this control? When a user hits the new button I'll create a popupmenu showing some icons and the user can choose one. The icon will then be shown in the listbox (it's a output of a chat program).

This is easy. I'm assuming your app is dialog based, or CFormView based.

1. Create a class derived from CListBox ... eg CMyListBox. Does not need to be owner draw for this.

2. Add a member variable to CMyListBox "CButton *m_pButton"

3. Add an implmentation of CMyListBox::PreSubclassWindow :-

void CMyListBox::PreSubclassWindow() 
{
	// TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class
	
	CListBox::PreSubclassWindow();

	m_pButton = new CButton;
	m_pButton->Create(":o)",WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE,CRect(0,0,20,20),(CWnd *) this, 1);	
	
}

4. Use Classwizard to map your dialogs List box control to an instance of CMyListBox.

5. Bob's your uncle.

Can I just ask why your using new to allocate the object? Just declare it as CButton m_Button, call create as normal, and you have reduced the risk of a memory leak. Its also faster.

BTW, you also need to call DestroyWindow() on the button in the OnDestroy of the ListBox override class.

Really? AFAIR, child windows are destroyed with parent.

yes an answer would be interesting. perhaps I'll do some message tracing and see it the buuton receives a WM_DESTROY or not.

Tomasz Sowinski19-Aug-02 21:44

Two questions about CToolTipCtrl

19-Aug-02 21:44

You can do some tracing, but I can tell you right now that child window will be destroyed correctly - will receive WM_DESTROY and WM_NCDESTROY.

1. How to create the balloon tooltip?
2. Why I can't change the size of the tooltip font on WinXP (on Win98SE - OK)

CToolTipCtrl m_Tooltip;
CFont font;

font.CreateFont(<code>12</code>, 0, 0, 0, FW_NORMAL, 0, 0, 0, DEFAULT_CHARSET,
                OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS, CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, DEFAULT_QUALITY,
                FIXED_PITCH, "Courier");
m_Tooltip.SetFont(&font);

Best regards,
Eugene Pustovoyt

Regarding (2): 'font' - what kind of variable it is? Local, global, member?

Eugene Pustovoyt19-Aug-02 0:37

Of cause, font is a global member, declared in the header file.

I'm glad to hear you, Tomasz. Thank you for your help with tooltip.

Best regards,

Changing font works for me. The code you've posted caused the tooltip to switch to ugly, monospaced Courier font. Smile | :)

You may check if you don't have both global and local variables with the same name.

Eugene Pustovoyt19-Aug-02 2:34

Yes it turns in ugly Courier, but not this main thing. A problem that at various height of a font on WinXP the font tooltip remains constant though on Win98SE his size varies. Any ideas?!

Best regards,
Eugene Pustovoyt

Tomasz Sowinski19-Aug-02 2:42

19-Aug-02 2:42

I'm not sure what do you mean exactly. I've tested this on XP with few different font sizes, and everything works OK - the tooltip font changes.
