CListBox, spacebar causes selection index change

It seems that when I host a CListBox in a CDialogBar, in a CMDIChildWnd, whenever I hit the space bar, the selection index goes down one (I'm actually using CCheckListBox but found the behavior exists in the base class CListBox).

I tried handling OnKeyDown, and skipping the call to the base class handler when nChar == VK_SPACE but it still moves the selection index down one when space bar pressed.

When I use the CListBox in a dialog box, pressing the space bar does not move the selection index down.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to suppress the selection index change when pressing the space bar for a CListBox when hosted within a CDialogBar and CMDIChildWnd?

thanks

(Oops, I forgot to mention I'm using VC++ 2003 and I have an app written with VC++ 6.0 that behaves the same way. Also, Windows 2000 and XP have the same behavior)

Hi,
Currently I had a file type which will be open with a program i created. The file will be open in the normal windows environment by double clicking on the mouse or hitting the enter button.

Is there anyway to get the file name that open the program in the program?

Thanks in advance.

Do you want to get file name that you clicked on it?

It should be [somewhere(depends on the open command)] in the CommandLine argument, get the command line arguments from Main function argument or using the API "GetCommandLine". if its MFC Document-View App you can get from CDocument::GetPathName.

Yes, the file name that open the program in the program is the program's file name. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

CDialogBar event handlers trouble

Atropus29-Oct-08 0:40

Hi, first of all I do apologize if the question is already in the message board, but I cannot find it.
Here's my problem.
I've implemented a CDialogBar derived class (it makes common initializations to all the dialog bar I need); then I've derived from it a lot of classes each of which implements a specific dialog (created with the dialog designer); in one of them there are various controls (buttons, static text, list box, ecc.); when I add an event associated with a control (e.g. the OnClick event of a button) the designer creates the corresponding method in the class associated to the dialog. I run the program and the button is disabled.
If I move the entry ON_BN_CLICKED of the CDialogBar derived class' message map into the MainFrm's one, the button is enable, but when the event is fired and the method is called the 'this' pointer within the method points to the MainFrm instance (I would like that the reference is the CDialogBar derived class).

What's wrong?

Thanks in advance for any response.

Keep the event handler in the CDialogBar[-derived] class itself. To enable the button, you need to handle ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI like,

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CYourDialogBar, CDialogBar)
//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CYourDialogBar)
 ON_BN_CLICKED(IDC_BUTTON1, OnButton1)
 ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(IDC_BUTTON1, OnUpdateButton1)
//}}AFX_MSG_MAP
END_MESSAGE_MAP()



void CYourDialogBar::OnUpdateButton1(CCmdUI *pCmdUI)
{
 pCmdUI->Enable(TRUE);
}

Well, (IMHO) while the advanced articles are quite enjoyable for the few of us able to understand them, the (well written) articles for beginners are the most valuable here.
