Sorry - I haven't noticed the declaration and was sure that this is your callback. If you want, send me your sources, I'll try to compile/run.

How to open project files in my app, like in Visual Studio

Jake Palmer15-Aug-02 6:59

Jake Palmer

15-Aug-02 6:59

My goal is similar to how Visual Studio opens Project and Workspace files: those file types are associated with VS, but they don't open up Views in the middle of the screen, they just fill in some information. I want to imitate this for opening Projects in my application. Unsure | :~

Are they using a doc/hidden view for this, or something tricky? WTF | :WTF:

Any suggestions are appreciated.
thanks,
Jake

It's very simple

Override InitialUpdateFrame in your DocTemplate like that

void CProjectDocTemplate::InitialUpdateFrame(CFrameWnd* pFrame, CDocument* pDoc,BOOL bMakeVisible)
{
  __super :: InitialUpdateFrame(pFrame, pDoc, /*!!!!*/false);
}

Moreover, you can even write so:

void CProjectDocTemplate::InitialUpdateFrame(CFrameWnd* pFrame, CDocument* pDoc,BOOL bMakeVisible)
{
	pFrame->DestroyWindow();
}

just set m_bAutoDelete to false in CYourDocument class before (constructor is the best place for it).

Sounds great, but I am just using CMultiDocTemplates in my code. I tried to make a subclass and override InitialUpdateFrame, but I get errors with the constructor, because CMultiDocTemplate has no default constructor. It doesn't seem like MFC wants DocTemplates to be subclassed, since we can't create them in the New Class wizard. So, how did you get that CProjectDocTemplate class?
thanks,
Jake

It does not matter. Look:

class CProjectDocTemplate : public CMultiDocTemplate  
{
public:
    CProjectDocTemplate ( UINT nIDResource, CRuntimeClass* pDocClass, CRuntimeClass* pFrameClass, CRuntimeClass* pViewClass );
...
}

CProjectDocTemplate ::CProjectDocTemplate ( UINT nIDResource, CRuntimeClass* pDocClass, CRuntimeClass* pFrameClass, CRuntimeClass* pViewClass ):
    CMultiDocTemplate(nIDResource, pDocClass, pFrameClass, pViewClass)

{
}
....
// ------- CXXXApp.InitInstance() --------//
    AddDocTemplate( new CProjectDocTemplate(
        IDR_DOC_PROJECT,
        RUNTIME_CLASS(CProjectDoc),      // document class
        RUNTIME_CLASS(CMDIChildWnd),        // frame class
        RUNTIME_CLASS(CProjectView)     // view class
        ));

Where is the problem?

I found a solution: returning FALSE in my document's OnOpenDocument. I get to deal with the file the user opened, but then I don't have to mess around with a doc or view hanging around. How come nobody told me about that? Cool | :cool:

CTreeCtrl Problem

Jonah15-Aug-02 6:49

15-Aug-02 6:49

I am using a CTreeCtrl in my dialog based application, and I'm experiencing a really annoying problem with it. I should note that the "Check Boxes" style is being used with this tree control, and seems to be part of the problem.

When my dialog opens for the first time, I do not populate the tree control right away (the user does this later). However, a horizontal scroll bar shows up at the bottom of the tree control. From the looks of it, it would appear that an item with a *very* long name exists in the tree control. But I do a DeleteAllItems() during initialization, and the scroll bar still shows up!

I've noticed that if I manually insert some children, *AFTER* I do a DeleteAllItems(), the scroll bar does not show up (unless needed). But if I insert these children without first doing a DeleteAllItems(), the scroll bar shows up (needed or not). Could this be an indication that the TVI_ROOT item is starting with some garbage in it and needs to be properly initialized? If that's the case, how do I go about doing that?

I want the scroll bar to be available if needed, just not when the list is empty. Any ideas on how to fix this incredibly annoying problem are most welcome. Smile | :)

Thanks,
Jonah

I've never seen this problem. It could be the default checkbox image list is very wide or something; doesn't seem likely, but still, you could try setting a different state image list right off & see if that fixes the problem.

Use SetClassLong to change background color (GCL_HBRBACKGROUND)

>>2. How am i going to add another view in SDI?..do i have to change everything to MDI?

Not at all. Just add new class, derived from CDocTemplate and create it's instance in CYourApp::InitInstance like that

CSingleDocTemplate* pDocTemplate;
	pDocTemplate = new CSingleDocTemplate(
		IDR_MAINFRAME,
		RUNTIME_CLASS(CTestDoc),
		RUNTIME_CLASS(CMainFrame),       // main SDI frame window
		RUNTIME_CLASS(CTestView));
	AddDocTemplate(pDocTemplate);

Is this means doing something like this? (I've add a COutputView class derived from CView)

BOOL CPSMZayaxApp::InitInstance()<br />
{<br />
...<br />
	CSingleDocTemplate* pDocTemplate;<br />
	pDocTemplate = new CSingleDocTemplate(<br />
		IDR_MAINFRAME,<br />
		RUNTIME_CLASS(CPSMZayaxDoc),<br />
		RUNTIME_CLASS(CMainFrame),       // main SDI frame window<br />
		RUNTIME_CLASS(CPSMZayaxView));   //ORIGINAL VIEW	AddDocTemplate(pDocTemplate);<br />
<br />
	CSingleDocTemplate* pDocTemplate2;<br />
	pDocTemplate2 = new CSingleDocTemplate(<br />
		IDR_MAINFRAME,<br />
		RUNTIME_CLASS(CPSMZayaxDoc),<br />
		RUNTIME_CLASS(CMainFrame),       // main SDI frame window<br />
		RUNTIME_CLASS(COutputView));	 //ADDITIONAL VIEW<br />
	AddDocTemplate(pDocTemplate2);<br />
...<br />
}

When I execute the program, VC++ ask me to choose between the two view. How am I going to know which view is being displayed? How can I change from one view to another when the program was running? maybe this sound stupid but there was no minimize button to minimize one view and see the other like in the MDI Confused | :confused:

I wish to init this view when I click a button on a DialogBox. What should I do? Dead | X|

1. Override the views WM_ERASEBKGND message and paint with a black brush and then return TRUE.

2. I think you can do this without going to MDI. SDI means 1 document, not 1 view. Create a new view type like your first and add a document template for it. You should then be able to create instances of that view for your document as well. Although I don;t have all the code here for an example. Frown | :(

3. Not sure a width of 0 is valid. As far as I know 1 is the minimum pen width. You can probably get around the scaling issue by using the window mapping functions. Take a look at the MSDN for SetViewPortExt() and go from there.

4. Once again, you can set the display mapping mode to reflect this. See 3.

If you will use WM_ERASEBKGND, it can result to a blinking whilst Window resizing. It is better way to change background brush in WindowClass properties.

No, if you handle WM_ERASEBKGND yourselft, the window class brush is not used.

I beg pardon, I was mistaken

I tested example below, all OK. Hmmmm, strangely...

//Example of black window
BOOL CTestView::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC)
{
	CRect rect;
	pDC->GetClipBox(&rect);     // Erase the area needed
	pDC->PatBlt(rect.left, rect.top, rect.Width(), rect.Height(),
		BLACKNESS);
	return true;
}

Tomasz Sowinski15-Aug-02 8:07

15-Aug-02 8:07

As long as you don't go into ::DefWindowProc, the class brush remains unused. And it doesn't matter what you're returning from OnEraseBkgnd.

From what what I've read, if I want to be able to scale, I have to use SetWindowExtent and SetViewportExtent functions. But when using the SetWindowExtent and SetViewportExtent, only two mapping modes are allowed : MM_ISOTROPIC and MM_ANISOTROPIC. The best part was both mapping mode have y going downward. I've tried using negative values in my y axis coordinate input so that my line will be drawn upward but I can't find my line anywhere.
Anyone has any idea? Confused | :confused:

Whats the best method to select an Item in the list control. I can't seem to get it to work.

I've used SetSelectionMark and SetItemState both don't work. Theres some flickering but the items background colour does not change.

Am i missing something? is there another message I have to send?
