Hi,
there are several ways to change the dialog bk color:
1) use SetDialogBKColor() method in the InitInstance()
2) use OnColorCtl() Message handler
3) draw a rectangle that will cover the entire dialog
i prefer to use the second method
here is an example code on how to use it:
in the *.h file write down:
protected:<br />
afx_msg HBRUSH OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor);
in the *.cpp file write an entry in the message map:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CYourDlg, CDialog)<br />
ON_WM_CTLCOLOR()<br />
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
implenent the OnColorCtl , write down:
HBRUSH CGUIBaseDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) <br />
{<br />
HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);<br />
<br />
if (CTLCOLOR_DLG == nCtlColor)<br />
hbr = m_brushDlgBk;<br />
<br />
<br />
return hbr;<br />
}
notice the use of brushDlgBk.
in the *.h file define the brush:
CBrush m_brushDlgBk;
in the *.cpp file in the constructor of the dialog
create the brush:
m_brushDlgBk.CreateSolidBrush(RGB(200,200,200))// the color you chose place here
that should do the trick....
to switch the colors on a click just use 2 brushes and return the proper one in the OnCtlColor method according to a flag indicating the click
hope i helped ya

Hi,
Could someone please give me some tips - or even better, link ot some examples - on how to create an EditStreamCallback function? I have searched the net and several coding forums, but can't find any solid information, even MSDN.
I have a Rich Edit text box, and whilst I can currently save to a .txt file using GetDlgItemText() and WriteFile(), this method is very limited and I really want to save as an RTF file. I have read the info on EM_STREAMOUT and EditStreamCallback, and it seems that these are the functions I need to use in order to save as an RTF file.
If anyone can tell me how to write a callback function that will write an .rtf file, link to some more comprehensive info, or just give me some general tips, I would be really grateful.
Incidentally, I am using the straight Win API SDK with _no_ MFC.
Many thanks!

Hi!
In some class, the adress of "this" change from method to other method of the same class.
For example,
void X::doNothing()
{
doNothing2(); // adress of "this" = 0x053014e4
}
void X::doNothing2()
{
// adress of "this" = 0x053014f0
}
This happen only in some class of my project.
The "this" adress is essential for me because I use it to do object research by comparing adress.
Do someone have an idea why in some class this will happen and other not?

Multiple base clases with virtual methods?
Poor pointer casting? (don't use (X *), use static_cast <x *=""> ())
Tim Smith
I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Hi!
I don`t use poor pointer casting. In fact, I often use dynamic_cast on object having multiple base class (and the basic base class is inherited virtually).
Can it cause a problem?
I`m stocking "this" adress in a vector to do futur search base on adress difference.
Thanks

Perhaps an implicit copy is being made somewhere? You can try explicitly specifying the copy constructor and setting a breakpoint inside it.

Hi all,
I am deriving a class from CWnd, I just want to display images from a CListImage. What I really need is to display images like Emoticon Window in messenger like applications.
I saw an article in C# which creates an emoticon window, I tried myself but were unable to do in VC++/MFC
Please anybody help me to create a window like the one I need.
Thanks.

Ok, I'll take you up on it. I've *very* new at this and assume the question is trivial, but can't seem to figure out how to get the documentation to tell me what I want to know.
I need to read a string and, if it's a number, convert it to double. How do I tell whether the string (input via the Console::ReadLine() method) contains only numeric characters (and can therefor be correctly converted to double via the Convert::ToDouble() method) or not?
If this turns out not to be trivial, just let me know and I'll think of something else. Maybe get a stream of chars or something (yuck!)

Your question sounds like a sincere request for advice - and I would gladly answer it if I could - but I am only familiar with MFC and C++ - I think your question is either .NET, JAVA or C# (I have no idea).

No...it's C++ with managed extensions

Even though this isn't C/C++ like Terry said, you can still use this same method that I'd use.
Write a function that checks each character to see if it is a number or not. Return true if its a number and false if not. If it reaches the end of the string without returning false, then it converts it double, else it fails.
Two ways I can think of to do this. One is just check the char is equal to any number 0-9 (this probably isn't the most effective way) or convert to ascii and check if it is within the ascii range for a number.

You could look at the System::Text::RegularExpressions namespace and create a regular expression that would match the characters 0-9...then check to see if the thing is a match. You could also use the Microsoft::VisualBasic namespace  and the IsNumeric() function.
Also, I think the Convert::ToDouble() throws an exception if the input string is not in a proper format. (Actually I know so, I just did this the other day in C#). You could wrap the call to ToDouble() in a try catch block and handle the error whichever way you want.
Hope that helps...

Code-Project would accept sponsors whose product was selling homework completion for students?!?!?!?!?
I guess so, or you wouldn't have referred my joke to your ad dept - or was that in itself a joke??!??!
I am so confused!
Anyways, I was just joking.

Hello,
I have this code
COleVariant vtOpenMethod((short)1);
LPDISPATCH pDisp;
pDisp = CRApplication.OpenReport((_bstr_t)"Grafic de ocupare pe zile.rpt", vtOpenMethod);
CRReport.AttachDispatch(pDisp);
ICRParameterFieldDefinitions apParam= CRReport.GetParameterFields();
long lCount = apParam.GetCount();
for(int i = 1; i <= lCount; i++)
{
COleVariant vtIndex ((long)i, VT_I4);
COleVariant vtReport("");
_variant_t vCurVal;
vCurVal = COleVariant(_T(m_data));
ICRParameterFieldDefinition yy = apParam.GetItem(vtIndex,vtReport);
....
}
What I want to do is to pass to my report 2-3 parameters.
If i use
yy.SetCurrentValue(vCurVal);
I get this error :
Unable to write read-only property.
Please can somebody tell me how to pass these parameters?
Thanks!

I was working on an Dialog app and have done a lot of work on it including UI , etc.
Now the requirement is that I need multiple pages like in a tabbed control .
I read documentation on MSDN that requires me to have a CPropertySheet object in my dialog class and then add CPropertyPage objects to it .
I have done alot of work and need a effiecient way to
Change the existing Dialog to be one of the PropertyPages
I have some basic questions :
1. Do i have to create a new app to do this and import the Dialog Resource , Create a new class from ClassWizard deriving from CpropertyPage and then manually copy / paste chunks of code for handlers and other functions from the old Dialog app ?
2. Is there a better and efficient way of doing this ?
CodeProject Gurus please help !
Engineering is the effort !
