Hi,
I have few controls and TabCtrl on it.
And when user select each tab i do ShowWindow(SW_SHOW) for few controls, and ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) for other controls. Every control is behind TabCtrl.
And ShowWindow(SW_SHOW) doesnt show my all controls which i would like to show.
TabCtrl covers few controls even i do SetFocus and ShowWindow(SW_SHOW) for controls.
Actualy only CDataTimePicker controls isn't be shown, Buttons and ComboBox work good (i mean doesn't be covered by TabCtrl when i send them ShoWindow(SW_SHOW)).\

I wpould like to show my controls, which are on TabCtrl ;/
//I dont use pages for tab, everything is on my one dialog.

Thanks a lot for help, i reall dont know what to do Frown | :(

Best Greetings for all
Michael

//I do GetDlgItem(IDC_DTPICKER1)->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

That's the wrong way!!!!
You have to create a child dialog with the controls on it for every page of the tab control. There are examples on CodeProject about that!

Don't try it, just do it! Wink | ;-)

converting my MFC .exe project to DLL file

Hi everybody. I've made a program in VC++ 6 and I want to convert this program into a DLL file so my program can be called by another one designed by my friend. I tried alot but I couldn't make it.

My program is one dialog. Just two classes the dialog and application class.

I want to call my dialog from the dll file and return a specific value from the dialog to dll, then I want to pass this value to the calling main program (which is my friends program!!).

Thanks in advance,

Muh Ulama

Declare the classes as __declspec(dllexport) for the DLL, and __declspec(dllimport) for the EXE.

Hi Alexander. Thank u very much for your reply. I'm not expert in VC++; I don't know how to make use of your reply. I have never dealt with dlls before! I just want to view the dialog specified in the dialog class in dll file. I think that the dll should contain the dialog class only then another function should call Domodal method of the dialog object. I think this function must be in the dll file also. Then I'll link this dll to exe file that call the function in dll and this function will view the dialog, and then return a value to exe file according to what the user entered in the dialog.

Plz tell me how to make it and how to view the dialog from dll!!

Thank u very much Smile | :)

Does anyone kknow why MS dropped the class wizard we used to have in VC++ 6.0 ?

I know that if you right-click a control on a dialog you can add a message handler but what if you want to add a function such as OnInitDialog() to a dialog. I can't find an easy way to do it, do MS expect us to manually add functions like this or am I missing a wizard ?

Any ideas ?

MDI-MainFrame REAL available client area

28-Jul-05 23:35

Hello All,
I need to add a function to a MFC-MDI Application to size automatically the subframe's size.
Exactly something like tile-horizontally/vertically, but with the difference that I want to choose every window position and height/width, (IMPORTANT) using a fraction of the available space.
To do this at the moment I set the frame size with 'MoveWindow', and I get the available client area with 'AfxGetMainWnd->GetWindowPlacement'; but this function doesn't cut from the available client area the statusbar/toolbars.
Is there a way to know the REAL available client area without manually search the space occuped from the statusbar or toolbar (that are not constant)? Confused | :confused:

To be more clear: my temporary solution is to Minimize all -1 windows, and call MDITile(MDITILE_VERTICAL), at this point this window's size is exacly the CRect (with GetWindowPlacement) that I'm searcing, so I can do by myself the others windows sizing. I don't like this solution because this cause too many windows moviments (and it is quite slow).

:-DThanks to everybody wants to help me! Big Grin | :-D

DLL + COM Question

(1) Is the a COM Library function to find the InProc Server of a given CLSID?
or do I have to query the registry?
(2) Can I increment the "DLL Reference count" having a HMODULE?
(I guess I could GetModuleFileName, and issue another LoadLibrary, but maybe there is a shorter way)

Re: DLL + COM Question

Alexander ^M.,29-Jul-05 4:20

(2) No, because the COM server DLL manages this reference count and if it does not export a function to change it you won't be able to set it. Incrementing can be done by creating class instances of that COM server.

In the CFileDialog in XP , when you use the CFile with the last param dwsize = 0 (VC7):

CFileDialog dlgFile(
TRUE,
_T(".Xls"),
NULL,
OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT,
_T("Excel (*.xls)|*.Xls|All (*.*)|*.*||"),this,0);

You have in the left bar some icon shortcut : (i think in english is same of that )
My recent document;
Desk;
My document ;
My Computer;
My Network P...;

I want add New icon like that :

Favorite ("C:\documents and settings\MyName\favorites")
Project ("H:\Drawing Project")

or other ....

to access quickly to this directory

The area you wish to add to is called the Places Bar. You'll first need to modify the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Common\Open Find\Places\UserDefinedPlaces registry key. See MSDN article Q205041 for an example.

Thank you

It's good for MSOffice Open save dialog box... But when I add the CFileDialog in C++ I have not the tools combo, and the cfiledialog don't add my userdefinedplaces ...

That's because you are using CFileDialog instead of GetOpenFileName(). The former uses OFN_ENABLEHOOK while the latter does not.

,

I have add the place in registry and it work fine for MSWord

but not in my program Frown | :(

I have add this (msdn)sample, the dialog file is XP look but the place Bar is the standard

OPENFILENAME ofn; // common dialog box structure
char szFile[260]; // buffer for file name
HWND hwnd; // owner window
HANDLE hf; // file handle

hwnd = GetSafeHwnd();
// Initialize OPENFILENAME
ZeroMemory(&ofn, sizeof(ofn));
ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(ofn);
ofn.hwndOwner = hwnd;
ofn.lpstrFile = szFile;
//
//
ofn.lpstrFile[0] = '\0';
ofn.nMaxFile = sizeof(szFile);
ofn.lpstrFilter = "All\0*.*\0Text\0*.TXT\0";
ofn.nFilterIndex = 1;
ofn.lpstrFileTitle = NULL;
ofn.nMaxFileTitle = 0;
ofn.lpstrInitialDir = NULL;
ofn.Flags = OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST | OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST;

// Display the Open dialog box.

if (GetOpenFileName(&ofn)==TRUE)
hf = CreateFile(ofn.lpstrFile, GENERIC_READ,
0, (LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES) NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
(HANDLE) NULL);
