Re: Is it possible to insert a new line (\n) in a tool tip?

No it is not possible that I can see. I've only seen 1 line, albeit some long ones, but when ever I've added the "\n" I only get the text that comes after the "\n". for example:

if the tooltip is "I am having\nsome difficulties"

what you see on the screen is "some difficulties"

There may be some funky trick to do it, but I haven't yet found one.

Hope this helps!

I found a way! Where you create the CToolTipCtrl and and you call the Create() method, you had the following line:

m_ToolTip->SendMessage( TTM_SETMAXTIPWIDTH, 0, 300);

Then in the AddTool() method, you can put \n's and it will add a new line to the tool tip. The code looks pretty much like this:

if ( m_ToolTip == NULL ) <br />
{ <br />
     m_ToolTip = new CToolTipCtrl; <br />
     m_ToolTip->Create(this); <br />
     m_ToolTip->SendMessage( TTM_SETMAXTIPWIDTH, 0, 300); <br />
}<br />
     m_ToolTip->AddTool(this, "One line\nSecond Line\nThird line"); <br />
     m_ToolTip->Activate(TRUE);

I did this and it worked.

Hi All,

I'm confused with this. I'm using VS C++ 6.0 w/MFC in an MDI app. I've created a new class called CCustomToolBar that is inherited from CToolBar.

Problem is this:

When I add the ON_COMMAND_UI message handler to the CCustomToolBar, the Onupdatebutton gets called a bunch of times (I still don't know why, any answers?). But the ON_COMMAND message NEVER gets sent to the CCustomToolBar's message handler.

The funny thing is, if I add the message handlers to the MainFrame class, the messages are received just fine. Confused | :confused:

I have no idea why and since I'm going to be dealing with 10-14 toolbars, I really need to ensure that the messages goto the right places.

My questions are:
1) What am I doing wrong?
2) What am I missing?
3) Why does the ON_COMMAND_UI message handler get called so often?

Any insight on the matter is GREATLY apreciated Smile | :)

Why don't you just buy something that's already done? It'll be cheaper in the long run that it would be to pay a developer to write it all from scratch.

how to disable button on CDlgBar?

I tested this member function

button.EnableWindow(FALSE);
sleep(5000)

this code operate only 5 second
if erase sleep(5000)

code does not operate(exactly speaking... operate 0.001 second?)

I test other formview button

formviewbutton.EnableWindow(FALSE)
is operate correctly...

what's problem CDlgBar?

How did you declare the button ? If it is declared as a local variable in a function, it will vanish as soon as you leave it. Try out with a member variable.

Location of call to base class

ns28-Jan-03 4:02

28-Jan-03 4:02

Does it matter if I call the base class first then put in my code, or should the base class call be last. VS does say place your code here...sometimes before and sometimes after, but I just noticed that in some places, the order is not enforced by the person who wrote the sample, yet it still works. Is this dangerous?

void CBKView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
	<code>CFormView::OnInitialUpdate();</code>
	
        ResizeParentToFit();

	m_FirstSearchKeyInMenu = "None selected";
}

void CBKView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
	ResizeParentToFit();

	m_FirstSearchKeyInMenu = "None selected";

	<code>CFormView::OnInitialUpdate();</code>
}

Appreciate your help,
ns

Re: Location of call to base class

Rage28-Jan-03 4:24

Rage

28-Jan-03 4:24

It mainly depends on the function. In the example you showed, it could matter if you are doing changes on what is done in the base class function, which is almost unprobable. So changing the order is rather harmless. But look at the following example :

CMyDialog::OnOK()

{
...
pWApp->WriteProfileInt("Settings","Window width",m_width);
CDialog::OnOK();
}
compared to

CMyDialog::OnOK()

{
...
CDialog::OnOK();
pWApp->WriteProfileInt("Settings","Window width",m_width);
}
In the first case, you write settings in the registry before calling the base class function. In the second case, you do it after, and your settings are never saved, since CDialog::OnOK() close the window. Unsure | :~

In some overrided, you have to comment out the call to base class, for example to change the cursor in OnSetCursor, otherwise your changes won't apply.

I would recommand you to insert your code where the comments invite you to do it, unless you're absolutely sure of what you're doing. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

~RaGE();

Thanks!Really helpful info

ns28-Jan-03 4:50

28-Jan-03 4:50

I looked up OnSetCursor and saw where you say you shouldnt call the base class.....

The registry example also makes things really clear! Smile | :)

Centering the Cview in MDI

ns28-Jan-03 3:56

28-Jan-03 3:56

From a CP article by Brian Hart he has the following:

void CMainFrame::RecalcLayout(BOOL bNotify) 
{
	CWnd* pClientWnd = CWnd::FromHandle(m_hWndMDIClient);
<code>
	// Hopefully this should notify CMDIChildWnds that their
	// client area is changing size -- better re-center themselves!</code>	

        pClientWnd->SendMessageToDescendants(WM_SIZEPARENT,
		0, 0, FALSE, FALSE);
	
	CMDIFrameWnd::RecalcLayout(bNotify);
}

Its used in:

void CMainFrame::OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy) 
{
	CMDIFrameWnd::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);
	
		RecalcLayout();		
}

The comment

<br />
	// Hopefully this should notify CMDIChildWnds that their<br />
	// client area is changing size -- better re-center themselves!

worries me.

It seems to work but is it not reliable? Any suggestions/improvements/comments?

Help with CString!!!

hello!

i have two CStrings:

<br />
CString str1;<br />
CString str2;<br />

I want to combine them:

<br />
CString together;<br />
together=str1+str2;<br />

but between the strings must be a return, because i want to fill the CStrings together into a .txt-file and there must begin a new line, when the second CString is added.

someone in this forum said that in this case you can do this:

<br />
together=str1+0X0A+0X0D+str2<br />

but it does not work.

can someone help me???

thank you

You need to do this:

or this:

together.Format("%s\n%s", str1, str2);

Why do you need the CString() called for "\n" ? It's only CString objects, so a simple "\n" should work, in contrast to f.i. LPTSTR used. Or am I wrong?

Because there's a bug in CString where if you add a single character to a string like this:

CString sString = "Test";
sTest += "\n"
// or
sTest = sTest + "\n"

running the program in release mode will generate a memory corruption error (in debug it will work fine). It's a bug in the CString class, and you can find it in the MFC source if you look hard enough.

I don't know if this bug has been fixed in versions of MFC later than 4.2...
