How can I set exact dialog size in designer

I wanna set a control size by exact values in pixels while I'm in designer. Is there any way?

... And nothing else matters!

yes, you can, even if this is quite dangerous to.

you can always use the keyboard to size pxl by pxl your controls, otherwise do this :

1. close VisualStudio
2. open the .rc file of you project in a WYSIWYG editor (notepad is sufficient).
3. find the id of the control to edit (e.g. IDC_MY_BUTTON)
4. set its position/size in the following order :
- left border position
- up border position
- width
- height

No, units in the RC file are in DLU ( dialog (un)logical unit ) and will be converted to pixel when displayed; will scale the dialog according to the DPI and font scaling ( big font vs. normal font ) ( unless I'm really mistaken )

MSWord is a wisiwyg editor, what you see on the screen is (normally) really what you get when you print it out.

This is not the case for notepad, since you do not know how what you write will come out when you print it (additional footers and headers, page nums and so). You can turn the printer settings in landscape mode while nothing will change on your screen when using notepad. Unsure | :~

I think what you meant is a plain text editor, not a wysiwyg. Blush | :O

word is not a wysiwyg 'cause all the formatting stuff modify the rendering of the file. create a word file, then open it into another editor (ok, you don't want notepad, so let's say edit or vi) and you'll see some horrible character... with word, What You See Is NOT What You Get !!!

now, i'dd like to know (as notepad is supposed not to be WYSIWYG) where are those hidden bytes which make it not a plain text editor...

I think your definition of wysiwg is wrong : it describes a screen to printer behaviour, not screen to file content behaviour. As Maximilien explained, you expect the formatting to be rendered directly on the screen, but you do not care about the file content.

I do not think I said anything against notepad Smile | :)

In the file, definitely not, on the printer, it is indeed. So word is wysiwyg.

Here you mix up two things which are completely different: wysiwig and plain text editor.
Notepad is a plain text editor : no formatting, no special rendering on the screen, one char you type is saved as one or two chars in the file.
Notepad is not wysiwig : printing an HTML file opened with notepad does not render it, as would when printed with FrontPage

Word is not a plain text editor : you have formatting, you can insert a lot of objects (tables and so), and you save far more in a .doc file as the few chars you have typed (this is what you call horrible character)
Word is wysiwig : print a word document, and it comes out exactely as it is displayed on your screen.

ok, my mistake, i thought that WYSIWYG was talking about file content...

so replace it in my first reply in this thread with "plain text editor" Big Grin | :-D

Update CEdit control of dlg from non MFC Class

Maximilien12-Dec-05 4:19

a WYSIWYG editor would be something like Word, FrontPage ( in norma view ), where you see mostly graphical changes directly on the screen, and not only when rendered either on paper or on a web page.

for example, "coding" HTML in notepad does not show you the end-result IN the editor; like FrontPage do; so it's not "What You See Is What You Get"

in your example, notepad, if it were a WYSIWYG you display the RC file the same way the resource editor display it to you, even there, it's not a fully WYSIWYG editor because the result will be different than what you expect.

the accronym WYSIWYG is/was really usefull for Page Layout software ( quark, pagemaker, ... ) where the user would place object on the virtual page, and when printed you look the same as on the screen.

i am using two class
i want to update the CEdit of dlg form different clas

xyz
{
//non MFC Class
extren CEdit *ed

SetEditText()
{
ed->SetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIt1,"Waiting for Call");
ed->UpdateData(FALSE);
}
----
---
--
};

dlg
{
//MFC class
CEdit *ed;
//m_ed is member variable IDCEDIT1 control
oninitdlg()
{
ed=*m_ed;
}

onbutton1()
{
x->setEditText() // x is an instance of xyz
}
----
---
--
};

and also i tried using
((CIVRTraficInfoSystemApp *)AfxGetApp())->m_pMainWnd->SetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIT1,"Waiting for Call");

and

in xyz class

CIVRTraficInfoSystemDlg *dlg;

dlg=(CIVRTraficInfoSystemDlg *)::GetActiveWindow();
// dlg->m_ed2.SetWindowText(IDC_EDIT2,"Waiting for Call");
//dlg->UpdateData(FALSE);
// dlg->UpdateDialogControls(((CIVRTraficInfoSystemApp *)AfxGetApp())->m_pMainWnd,TRUE)
//dlg->UpdateWindow();

and i also tried the following

from xyz class

SetDlgItemText (AfxGetApp ()->m_pMainWnd->m_hWnd, IDC_EDIT2, "some thing");
//delete [] lpBuffer;
UpdateWindow (GetDlgItem (AfxGetApp ()->m_pMainWnd->m_hWnd, IDC_EDIT2));

but i am not able to update the text in the IDC_EDIT1
pls suggest me some idea

Thanks & Regrads

You can use:

class CXyz<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
CEdit* m_pEdit;<br />
void SetTheText()<br />
{<br />
m_pEdit->SetWindowText("Hello");//This will set the edit's text<br />
}<br />
<br />
};

//here, m_Xyz is a member variable of CMyDialog, an object of CXyz.

void CMyDialog::OnButton1()<br />
{<br />
m_Xyz.m_pEdit = &m_Edit;//put the variable address into the class CXyz's variable. You can do this in OnInitDialog() etc.<br />
m_Xyz.SetTheText();<br />
<br />
}

this is this.

Dear Khan

Thanks u very much for ur reply

int CLSINet::WaitForCall()
{
//here i would like to set the CEdit text, ie.. non MFC Class
//because the control is not going to return back immd.
//to the MFC Class
int rc;
module = "CLSINet::WaitForCall";
LogEntry("Enter", LOG_OBJFUNCTION);
ed->SetWindowText("Waiting For incomming call");
---
---

}

pls given me an idea for this
Thanks & Regrads

WaitForCall() will be called form another non MFC class

not form the dlg

I am not sure what you are trying to acheive, but I think it is this:
To set the m_pEdit to the actual variable's address, you can do it when creating the control. Like:

class CMyDialog : public CDialog<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
CXyz m_Xyz;<br />
...<br />
...<br />
};<br />
<br />
CMyDialog::OnInitDialog()<br />
{<br />
m_Xyz.m_pEdit = &m_Edit;// m_Edit is the actual class variable.<br />
}

Now the pointer is set, and there is no need to set it again. Now any function in CXyz can set the edit's text, like:

void CXyz::SetNewText()<br />
{<br />
m_pEdit->SetWindowText("asdf");<br />
}

Your question is not clear, so:
Are you using multi-threading? If no, then learn some multi-threading, and use threads, so the program won't freeze while it is processing.

this is this.

thanks for u reply

ya i understood

i am not useing multi threading

Thanks & Regrads

You can put breakpoints in the code and watch the code set the text in the edit. While stepping through the code, you can check if the edit's pointer is valid etc.

this is this.
