How to show a window in full screen?
Thanks.
|
|
|

Not too hard. Look at the documentation for CreateWindowEx. For window styles, pass WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE. For the window width and height, give it the width and height of the entire screen. You can call SetWindowPos to get it positioned at 0, 0. The window will occupy the entire screen.

|
Also, more simply, use WS_MAXIMIZE for your window style.

If you want your mainframe class to go fullscreen (like VC++ IDE does), check the KB article Q164162.

Thanks for your reply.
I find the method you introduced to me works well. But I still have a question, that is, how to show a window maximized but not covering the task bar.
Thank again.

Hello...
I have to read a txt file (a csv file) and qhen I read one by one field, I can find fields that have different type (long, string, date etc...). So how can I do to convert a string that represent a date in a real date object?
Thanks to all You

If you are using MFC, you can use COleDateTime. It has a ParseDateTime function you can use to extract a date from a string.

My program is not made to handle the "Large Fonts" option in Windows, and therefore when this options is used, things don't appear in lists and so on (Because the list sizes are fixed, and noscroll is enabled). Is it possible to force the font to a spesific size? I want the app to use "MS Sans Serif", size 8 no matter what the windows settings are...

Hi,
This is just something that a professional Windows developer has to deal with. Windows will scale everything differently based on large fonts. You aren't allowed to mess with this. The OS is doing it behind the scenes.
You have a few options:
1) Keep your lists the same size and rely on tooltips to show the whole item in the list when the user hovers over it.
2) Add scroll bars.
3) If your window is smaller than the screen size, consider adding resizing support such as the CResizeableDialog class by Paolo Messina (found on this site).
Good luck!

Can somebody please tell me how to max/min toggle a view in a splitter?
Checkout
http://www.codeguru.com/mfc/comments/7113.shtml
to see an attempt by Kirk but his code will not solve this case:
Imagine a 2x2 splitter where the pane in row 2 col 2 is to be toggled to full view, that is the top left, top right and lower left should be hidden. Hiding them works fine, but when I wish to restore the hidden panes the views in the panes are swapped. And I can't seem to get around it.

afx_msg int CChildWnd::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
CClientDC dc(this);
CFont font;
font.CreateFont(charHeight, 0, 0, 0, FW_NORMAL, 0, 0, 0, DEFAULT_CHARSET, OUT_CHARACTER_PRECIS, CLIP_CHARACTER_PRECIS, DEFAULT_QUALITY, DEFAULT_PITCH | FF_DONTCARE, "MS Sans Serif");
//charheight is any number (usually 12)
dc.SelectObject(&font);
m_MyEdit.SetFont(&font);
...
}
This works fine on Win98, but on WinNT and Win2000 it seems like nothing happens. The default font (FixedSys) is being used instead. Why? And it's not only MyEdit, but all other childwindows: CStatic, CListCtrl, CEdit, CStatusBarCtrl, anything!
Please help me

You need to allocate the CFont object with the new operator (on the heap) and you need to maintain it for as long as you plan on using that font for those controls. Actually, I am surprised it works on Win98. Usually, I allocate fonts in my OnCreate or OnInitialize and destroy them in the OnDestroy or destructor.

You would not need to allocate the CFont object on the heap -- you could do on the stack as a class member variable. One less thing to worry about during cleanup. However, you still have to remember to call DeleteObject() in OnDestroy.

You are absolutely right, it just needs to be persisted as long as it is being used.
I just like to have definitive control over all resource related functionality.

A global CFont object could do the job as well I guess then, but is that "good programming"?

No. Resources such as fonts should be tied to the lifetime of their windows. Also, you would not want to let other windows have the potential of fighting over the same global font variable.

The scenario is that I have a file xyz.ini and I want to make a backup of it called xyz.ini2 and then rewrite to xyz. I have tried CFile::Rename and CFile::Duplicate and I am getting "a sharing violation occured while accessing an unnamed file".
CFile temporiginifile;
temporiginifile.Open(m_sFileFullPathName,CFile::modeReadWrite|CFile::shareDenyNone);
temporiginifile.Rename(m_sFileFullPathName,m_sFileFullPathName+"2");
temporiginifile.Close();

Just use CopyFile API function. All you need to do is to pass the filenames.

I'm adding dynamically several pages in a Propertysheet, but when the tabscontrols are on more than one line the sheet doesn't inflate automatically.
What can I do?

Does anyone know if there is any way to easily format the contents of a messagebox? Or maybe just format a CString to be a specified number of columns wide.
Now I first have to create a CString and use the Format method on it to fill it with text, values and new lines. But since I'm never sure about how much space the values take it's hard to format the text to look good in the messagebox. What I'm looking for is a way to insert newlines automatically at runtime. Is there any simple way to do this?
Thanks!

Hi..
Use, the tab "\t" and "\n" with CString to solve this problem. See the sample given below.
CString str;
str.Format("Rejeesh\tRamesh\tRanjit\nRejeesh\tRamesh\tRanjit\nRejeesh\tRamesh\tRanjit");
AfxMessageBox(str);

I don't think it's worth the trouble - the font displayed in the msgbox can be different on different machines; the maximum width of msgbox depends on screen resolution, etc.
You'd have to get the font metrics and compute widths 'manually'. And it's plain impossible to get pixel-perfect columns this way - inserting spaces doesn't give you this level of control.
