Overview

Welcome to the Ultimate Toolbox Updates and Contributions page.

This page is intended to help collate and centralize user contributions as well as beta updates to the core source code for each of the Ultimate Toolbox, Ultimate Grid, and Ultimate TCP/IP libraries.

We'd like this page to become a central point for submissions of various enhancements and fixes to the Ultimate Toolbox. Those of you who have code that will help others can forward submissions to any of the co-authors of this page.

Those wishing to take a more active role can become co-authors, and help to collate and maintain the code base and user submissions.

What can I contribute?

Pretty much anything that enhances or fixes code in the Ultimate Toolbox. A simple zip of a class file can be posted here for review before inclusion into an update. All we ask is that changes are reasonably commented and documented.

Links to user submitted articles relating to the Ultimate Toolbox can be collated here as well.

We're keeping this fairly open to start - comments and suggestions, as always, most welcome.

Ultimate Grid - OutlookStyle Demo (corrections)

Download: OutlookDemoUpdate.zip (65k)

Reported by: ehaerim

Compiled by: Tim Deveaux

Date: August, 2008

Comments: This is a update with corrections for the OutlookStyle demo contained in the samples download for the Ultimate Grid. The project uses files from the Ultimate Toolbox source, and shipped with incorrect paths to these files.

The projects now assume the Ultimate Toolbox directory is at the same level as the Ultimate Grid, and uses the correct relative paths.

The projects were previously referencing files not required for compilation, two of which are not included in the Ultimate Toolbox source download.

The CCellTypeOutlook class is renamed to COutlookGrid.

The CelltypeOutlook.cpp and .h files are replaced with OutlookGrid.cpp and .h.

The demo shows the grid set up for Outlook style message selection, with read/unread and flag bitmaps etc, and highlights the use of the CUGExpandType, CUGCTOutlookHeader, CUGCTMail, and CUGCTMailSort celltypes.

Requirements: Assumes the Ultimate Toolbox source and include files are installed along with Ultimate Grid.

Status:
Corrections to the existing demo.

Bug in COXComboPickerCtrl

PsychoChris

11:30 5 Jan '09

The WM_COMMAND notifications in function COXComboPickerCtrl::ShowDropDown(...) are sent incorrect to the parent. Instead of `pParentWnd->SendMessage(WM_COMMAND,MAKEWPARAM(CBN_DROPDOWN,GetDlgCtrlID()));` it should be `pParentWnd->SendMessage(WM_COMMAND,MAKEWPARAM(GetDlgCtrlID(),CBN_DROPDOWN));` This wrong order of LOWORD and HIWORD appears two times in this function.

Thanks for the VS2008 updates

Thanks so much for your updates to VS2008. I've used UTB and UG for more years than I can count. I used UTB before Dundas bought it from MFC Weekly . I've been stuck with VS2003 until just now due to customer requirements and finally have been able to update to VS2008. I was very happy to see you all had updated the projects to 2008. Thanks and great work! Phil McAdams

Ultimate Grid Update 02 - 64-bit

Tim Deveaux

10:19 19 Nov '08

Hi all I've put together a second Ultimate Grid update (02) with changes for 64-bit compilation. As with the Ulitmate Toolbox 64-bit update, these are just basic compilation adjustments - testers needed. Thanks Tim

Ultimate Toolbox Update 03 - 64-bit

Tim Deveaux

7:32 31 Oct '08

I've placed an 'alpha' of the 64-bit changes for the main source and include files for the Ultimate Toolbox lib here for testing as Update 03.

Most of the changes can be examined with a grep for 'update 03' in the source files. I've added some brief notes to the ChangeHistory.

The JPEG library builds are not modified, but can be built by adding x64 platform configurations to the jpg.sln in the libs/JPEG dir.

Casualties: 1) The OXSysInfo classes, which rely on the Intel cpuinf32 library. Code in this project relys on inline assembly, which is not supported in the Microsoft 64-bit compilers. 2) The DAO class - DAO is not supported in Win64.

I don't have a Win64 platform, so obviously would appreciate some testing. I'll updgrade the 'alpha' status to beta once I get some comments and corrections.

The code compiles sucessfully (DLL and Static Lib builds) on the 64-bit cross compiler under VS2008.

There are some warnings that arise that I've left in until someone with Win64 can do some runtime testing.

There are also some macros in UTB64Bit.h that might be debateable - switching on _WIN64 when switching on _MSC_VER might be more appropriate. Trying to avoid some VC6 headaches for now.

The goal here is to enable the core codebase for both platforms and preserve compatibility back to VC6, so that the 64-bit folks aren't left to maintain their own versions.

Comments welcome - please test. Any comments on the sample builds in Win64 appreciated as well.

Thanks,

Tim

Bug in UGCtrl.cpp

JohnBarnes2858

4:19 8 Aug '08

The diff below shows changes I made to our copy of UGCtrl.cpp to fix a problem noticed when testing an override of CUGCtrl::OnGetCell().

The fault in the original code is that the first call to CUGCtrl::OnGetCell() was being made with an inappropriate application of column translation.

Regards,
John

Ultimate Grid / VS 2008 [modified]

Tim Deveaux

14:54 19 Jun '08

Hi All

Just had a look at the Ultimate Grid source with VS 2008 and this seems to be the only compile issue at this point.

In UGXPThemes.cpp at line 562, the #ifdef below should be added to the GetThemeRect call:

bool UGXPThemes::GetThemeRect(LPCWSTR theme, int iPartId, int iStateId, RECT *pRect)
{
    bool success = false;

    if (useThemes)
    {
        HANDLE themeHandle = OpenThemeData(NULL, theme);

        if (themeHandle)
        {
            // v7.2 update 01 - TD - VS 2008 defines this in vssym32.h (432)
            #if !defined(__VSSYM32_h__)
                const int TMT_DEFAULTPANESIZE = 5002;
            #endif
            HRESULT hr = GetThemeRect(themeHandle, iPartId, iStateId, TMT_DEFAULTPANESIZE, pRect);
            success = SUCCEEDED(hr);
        }
    }
    return success;
}

There may be other subtleties in this - see comments in Tmschema.h in the Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include directory.

Thanks

Tim
