Re: Displaying the Focus Rect around a Checkbox Larry Antram14-May-02 18:46 Larry Antram 14-May-02 18:46  Set the tab order so that the control you want to have focus (upon initial display of the dialog) is first.

The only way I know how to get this is by Tabbing around the controls. But I need to set it programatically Andy Re: Displaying the Focus Rect around a Checkbox underholt15-May-02 2:32 underholt 15-May-02 2:32  The problem seems to be Win2000 and a soloution was provided by Jeff Partch [MVP] Hi, Andy! May not be relevant, but under what OS are you running? On Win2k and up, the focus rect is hidden by default until you do things like: 1) Tabbing with the keyboard, 2) Hit the ALT key, or 3) Invoke the dialog with the keyboard in the first place. The WM_UPDATEUISTATE may explain it better than I do, but if I add a PostMessage of it to your OnInitDialog... BOOL CTestChekBoxDlg::OnInitDialog() { CDialog::OnInitDialog(); m_button.Create( _T("Hello"), WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_TABSTOP|BS_AUTOCHECKBOX, CRect(10,10,100,30), this, 10000 ); GotoDlgCtrl(&m_button); PostMessage( WM_UPDATEUISTATE, MAKEWPARAM(UIS_CLEAR, UISF_HIDEFOCUS) ); return FALSE; } ...it'll circumvent the expected behavior (which may not be a good thing, but that's your call). It does do for me anyway. To get these 'UISTATE' defines you need to have the latest (or later than that which ships with VC6) PSDK installed, and 2) You need to have defined (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0500) way early in the build process. Personally, I think this conditional around a Window's message and its parameter values is an error in judgement. Anyway, both these can be a real pain, so FWIW... #ifndef WM_UPDATEUISTATE #define WM_UPDATEUISTATE 0x0128 #endif #ifndef UISF_HIDEFOCUS #define UISF_HIDEFOCUS 0x1 #endif #ifndef UIS_CLEAR #define UIS_CLEAR 2 #endif And in the not that you asked department: the way you've posted it, you dynamic creation of the button looks like the hard way to go about it. -- Jeff Partch [MVP] Adding strings to Combo boxes RalfPeter14-May-02 8:04 RalfPeter 14-May-02 8:04  How do I add items to a combo list generated by the MVC Wizard? The Wizard generates an ID under a DIALOG block in the .rc file. Using CCombo.AddString() works when you instantiates the object, but not, of course, on ID variables. I need somehow to link the ID to a CCombo object and go from there. Any suggestions?

I did add the variable as control with the ClassWizzard, as you suggested. Now, however, when I issue the m_cbo.AddString("Your String") command from anywhere within the program, I get an assertion failure (file afxwin2.inl, line 735). Even if I do this: CComboBox c; c.AddString("dd"); it will bomb. Any idea? ralf.riedel@usm.edu Re: Adding strings to Combo boxes Jack Handy14-May-02 15:02 Jack Handy 14-May-02 15:02  You are adding the string before your combo box window (control) is created. -Jack To an optimist the glass is half full.

Re: Adding strings to Combo boxes RalfPeter15-May-02 4:24 RalfPeter 15-May-02 4:24  I am adding it upon construction. But even if I add strings well after construction, the code will bomb. Also, as I mentioned in another message, if I run AddString() on a CListBox object (which has no connection with the dialog), the program will throw an assertion too. Does the Wizard somehow require a special way to initialize CObject derived objects?

What puzzles me is that I can't even initiate a CListBox object. If I create a CListBox object from anywhere in the program and run CListBox::AddString(), it'll throw an assertion error.

I'm sure I need to use m_E.SetFocus(?) but how do I get the handle to the dlg that the control is on? 2) I have a dropdown list box that I don't want to let the user type in. Is there a style that I can choose in the dialog editor? setting the "Disable" style grays it out; thats not what i want. Thanks Re: 2 questions: Setting focus and dropdown list Chris Losinger14-May-02 7:51 Chris Losinger 14-May-02 7:51  1. assuming your dialog is modeless (otherwise, there's little point in having a way to set anything, cause you can't), you will probably have a pointer to an instance of the dialog somewhere. so, you can do m_dlgPtr->m_E.SetFocus(); 2. use a real listbox, not a "drop-list" combo. -c "Should you not have a ramekin of sea salt beside the stove, you don’t deserve oatmeal."    Dean Allen Smaller Animals Software Re: 2 questions: Setting focus and dropdown list albean14-May-02 9:18 albean 14-May-02 9:18  Chris Losinger wrote: (otherwise, there's little point in having a way to set anything, cause you can't), So if the dlg is modal (which it is) I can't do it?

Re: 2 questions: Setting focus and dropdown list Chris Losinger14-May-02 9:23 Chris Losinger 14-May-02 9:23  ok. i misunderstood. i thought you were trying to set this from outside the dialog class. but if you're doing this from the OnInitDialog of the dialog itself, then yeah, just do m_E.SetFocus() (and then return FALSE from OnInitDialog). -c "Should you not have a ramekin of sea salt beside the stove, you don’t deserve oatmeal."    Dean Allen Smaller Animals Software Re: 2 questions: Setting focus and dropdown list albean14-May-02 9:30 albean 14-May-02 9:30  Thanks.

The SDK dlgbars and MSCIE samples, which many people quote on newsgroups as solutions, aren't enough. The toolbar, which the Rebar is to contain, must inherit from a user-defined class based on CToolBar in order for for UpdateUI handlers to work, as shown in the dlgbars sample. However, when I try to add the new Toolbar to the Rebar, the icons are disabled.

"unresolved external symbol" how do i get rid of them? redeemer14-May-02 7:06 redeemer 14-May-02 7:06  In my app i use the functions ImageList_Create and ImageList_AddIcon which are defined in the commctrl.h header file.
