If you can't, because you use grid locking and stuff, just go the hardcore way : open the .rc file and set the 1 there. Back to real work : D-27. Re: OnPaint question Mel Feik2-Nov-02 22:12 Mel Feik 2-Nov-02 22:12  As far as I know, I haven't set any grid locking. But I haven't ever delved into this aspect and if you could some code I could either paste or use as a guideline I would truly appreciate it --------------------------------------------- <i>The greenest grass is NOT on the other side of the fence, its the grass you take care of.

Wheeler3-Nov-02 4:20 Gary R. Wheeler 3-Nov-02 4:20  To get a solid black line, use a statement like the following in your .RC file: CONTROL "",IDC_STATIC,"Static",SS_BLACKRECT,262,295,142,1 In IDE terms, this is a 'picture' control, with the type set to 'Rectangle' and the color set to black. In actuality, it is a static control with the style SS_BLACKRECT, which draws a black rectangle. Software Zen: delete this; Re: OnPaint question Ed Gadziemski3-Nov-02 4:21 Ed Gadziemski 3-Nov-02 4:21  Use a picture control and set its type to Rectangle, then adjust it to the size you need. Default color is black but it also supports white and gray. If you need the thickness smaller than 5 dialog units, temporarily set your layout grid height to a smaller value.

If you need other platforms, you'll need some 3rd party products and APIs. lazy isn't my middle name.. its my first.. people just keep calling me Mel cause that's what they put on my drivers license. - Mel Feik Re: I want my program able to burn a CD/DVD, how?

Override CWinApp:OnFileNew() Locked Ghost wrote: 2) void CIceBuilderView::OnDraw(CDC* /*pDC*/) Why is the pDC commented out by default? You are probably talking about a header file. In headers, definitions do not need param names. Param type is enough for the compiler. Remember a header file is NEVER mandatory, just a nice way to program. Locked Ghost wrote: 3) How can I make the client window use scrollbars? Currently child windows can get missing out of the client window area... A typical app uses a CScrollView document/view model, hence scrollbars are automatically managed. I recommend you read "Windows programming with MFC", MSPRESS, Charles Petzold.

I have a few more questions: How can I create a window that stays on top of the other child windows like a floating toolbar? How can I then tell that window to update itself? (I want it to update when the current view is changed. I think I can figure out how to see if it's changed) How can I load the contents of a BMP file from memory, into a... CPicture, was it? and then how can I draw a (square) part of that to the view with a transparent colour? And without a transparent colour(Parts of the BMP are opague, but not all)?

I think I can figure out how to see if it's changed) Windows (whether CView or not) update themselves already. If you want to force an update, you've got to call CDocument::UpdateAllViews(...).

And without a transparent colour(Parts of the BMP are opague, but not all)? CMemDC is probably the keyword you should use to find something relevant on CodeProject about that. Handling transparent colors can be achieved in many ways. One I usually take is by creating a CImageList since this class allows to set a key color to a bitmap. Back to real work : D-27.

Re: A few newbie questions about MFC User 66583-Nov-02 5:02 User 6658 3-Nov-02 5:02  People ask this question three times a week There are many articles here on CP how to describe it.

A window should come on top only if explicitely asked by the user. Otherwise, it's like a annoying popup on the web : it may interrupt you while you were entering text somewhere, or clicking somewhere. That's basic UI guidelines. I don't think further explanations are required. Back to real work : D-27.

Re: cannot convert from 'class CString' to 'char [ ] Michael Dunn2-Nov-02 18:48 Michael Dunn 2-Nov-02 18:48  Two problems. One, you can't declare a TCHAR[] on the stack unless it is initialized with a string literal, such as: TCHAR szBob[] = _T("hello!"); Two, you are trying to put a CString into a character array. A CString is a wrapper class that manages its own character buffer. You can do this: TCHAR* psz = str_somedata.GetBuffer(0); as long as you understand what that means - you're temporarily getting control over the character buffer. Please see my two articles on the string wrapper classes, where I cover all these details. --Mike-- "I'd rather you just give me a fish today, because even if you teach me how to fish, I won't do it.
