In my dialog window, I have inset a child dialog using this code in the main dialog's OnInitDialog(). Since SubclassDlgItem() can't be used with a CDialog, I have used this code to place it in the location of the CStatic item IDC_SINSET:

<br />
m_pFrameViewWnd = new CFrameViewDlg(this);<br />
m_pFrameViewWnd->Create(CFrameViewDlg::IDD,this);<br />
		<br />
GetDlgItem(IDC_SINSET)->GetWindowRect(r);<br />
ScreenToClient(r);<br />
m_pFrameViewWnd->MoveWindow(r.left,r.top,r.Width(),r.Height());<br />
m_pFrameViewWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);<br />
GetDlgItem(IDC_SINSET)->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);<br />

There are more than forty various buttons and controls in the main dialog and the CStatic IDC_SINSET has a tab order of 12. However, no matter what the tab order of that static item is, the controls in the subdialog always seem to start only after all other controls in the main dialog. How can I make the controls in the subdialog have a tab order which is inserted at the same point in order as the static item to which the subdialog is assigned?

1.Add your child dialog in the tab order, in your OnInitDialog, add a call to ModifyStyle(0, WS_TABSTOP);.
2.If you want to pass control to the next available control in the tab order of the main dialog, you need to extract that information from your child object (IDC_SINSET)
and set focus on it when the last control. You will need to overwrite PreTranslateMessage and call NextDlgCtrl of the main dialog.

how to pass in an index when LButtondown handler runs?

I want to click on a (3rd party) picture box which has an image with a particular index in it. I want to pass this index into the Buttondownhandler for the picture box which has this signature:

void CTrain1View::OnLButtonDownThbimage3(long Keys, long x, long y) <br />
{<br />
	// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here<br />
	<br />
}<br />

How would I do that?
Thanks

First of all, you probably don't want to mess with the OnLButtonDown signature. I don't think that is the best approach. As far as I know there is no way to do what you are asking. Button handlers are implemented with callbacks using macros. There is no way that I can see to tell the macro to pass a variable to the button handler. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Since you're talking about a third party product, it's difficult to tell you the best way to do this without knowing the API for that product. If, for instance, your picture box handles it's own events (click, mouse over, etc.), the index for the current picture is probably being updated automagically. Just find a member function in your picture control ( GetIndex or something like that ), that tells you what the current picture index is. If, however, you have to handle the events on your own, it could be any number of possibilities. I don't think there's an easy answer for you in that case.

Here's a few questions you need to answer:
1. Where is the index for each picture getting stored?
2. Is the value of the current index being updated automatically by the control or is that something I have to do myself?
3. If the control does handle the updating of the index value, do I have a way to access the control member variable from my button handler?
4. Is there a member variable ( m_cPictureControl or something like that ) representation of the control? If not, use class wizard to create one.

That's the best I can offer. Good luck.

CreatePrinterDC fails?

-Dy26-Jul-02 5:38

26-Jul-02 5:38

I'm using the following to get the DC for the printer:

CDC dc;
if (!AfxGetApp()->CreatePrinterDC(dc))
  AfxMessageBox("unable to create dc")

But, it always returns FALSE. When I trace into it, it goes into CWinApp::CreatePrinterDC, and then into AfxCreateDC - but this returns NULL as hDevNames (CWinApp::m_nDevNames) is NULL (as is hDevMode).

What I'm a doing wrong?

My CListCtrl & Ownerdata

26-Jul-02 5:16

I have several CListCtrl which display over 50000 items. So i created my own CListCtrl with LVS_OWNERDATA so i can handle the memory myself. It works fine except for one simple thing...

the MFC CListCtrl posts a message if an SetItemText is called on an item which is selected. I added

<br />
int CMyListCtrl::SetItemText(int iItem, int iSubItem, LPCSTR txt) {<br />
// Set Data here<br />
...<br />
// Send Message<br />
NM_LISTVIEW nmlv;<br />
nmlv.hdr.hwndFrom = m_hWnd;<br />
nmlv.hdr.code = LVN_ITEMCHANGED;<br />
<br />
nmlv.iItem = iItem;<br />
nmlv.iSubItem = iSubItem;<br />
SendMessage(this->m_hWnd, LVN_ITEMCHANGED, 0, (LPARAM)&nmlv)<br />
return iItem;<br />
}<br />

to my costum SetItemText function but it doesnt work...
the item changed events are sent if i click on an item

Any Ideas?

Thanks for your help

Creating new controls and handling events

jparsons26-Jul-02 4:20

I've recently been given the task of modularizing our main dialog class in a project at work. Currently I am creating a sub-class of CTreeCtrl called Gallery which will be used to wrap the basic functionality of our Tree control.

Here are the steps I have taken. I created CGallery as a subclass of CTreeCtrl. I used the class wizard to change the CTreeCtrl object in our main Dlg be the member variable of type CGallery called m_gallery.

Here is the problem. How can make it so that events are passed to my instance of CGallery and not to my main Dialog. I know I'm overlooking something obvious but this is my first time dealing with VC++ and I'm quite lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I found the answer. In the Class wizard when I was selecting which Control ID to handle events for I should have clicked on the Control name and not the ID that was an instance of it.

You mean events like TVN_* notifications? If this is the case, you'll need to use so-called message reflection. In ClassWizard add CGallery handlers for messages marked with '='.

Re: Printing

the code roughly goes like this:

StartDoc
While (pages_to_do)
  StartPage
  PrintPage
  EndPage
EndDoc

the hard part, is setting pages_to_do - it requires you to keep track of how much you've printed compared to the size of the page.

do an MSDN search on "startdoc" - there are a lot of printing articles.

Calendar Control Doesn't Redraw Self

JennyP26-Jul-02 3:27

JennyP

26-Jul-02 3:27

Hello,

I have a calendar control that will not redraw itself until I move the application window (click on date and nothing happens, then, move window and date changes to what I clicked on). It's located on a dialog bar whoose parent is CMainFrm. If I call UpdateData(FALSE) on ANOTHER dialog bar I have (same parent), then the calendar control starts working as normal. I would like my calendar control to begin working (updating/redrawing itself) immediately. I suspect that my windows messages are not being routed correctly?

Any ideas? Thanks!

What calendar control are you using. Is it a third party control or the basic run-of-the-mill control found in the Visual C++ resource toolbox?
