Iain,
Thanks for the response. I added the flag ES_READONLY to the create call of the window. However, it did not have any effect. Here is what the code now looks like:
Create( NULL, TEXT("CtlDemo2"),<br />
WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW|ES_READONLY, rectDefault,<br />
NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE( IDR_MAINFRAME ) );<br />
Is that what you meant? Is there something else I should do to make it work?
Thanks
Bob

What type (i.e., class) of window?

David,
The class of the window is COutputWindow (my class) and it is derived from CFrameWnd.

Those are MFC classes, not window (or system) classes. In any case, ES_READONLY is only for "Edit" classes.

David,
Thanks for the response. Well, I guess using ES_READONLY will not work. Do you have a solution that will work for me?

David's right - you didn;t read my suggestion fully.
I could spell things out a bit more though.
I assume you need a frame to get the floating-ness, or dockaability. Or look at (eg) CControlBar, or CDialogBar.
Rather than just a Frame window, create a child window inside that frame. That child window should be an EDIT window, or a CEdit. ES_READONLY would be applicable then.
I hope that is clearer.
You can;t just use things blindly. If you don't know about ES_READONLY, then you should have looked it up on MSDN. There, it will tell you that it is an edit style. It's at best meaningless when used with another window. At worst, it could do something bad.
I hope that helps?

Iain,
Thanks for the response. However, it does not help. I tried some of the things you suggested but it did not work. I would be happy to send you the code. I am still badly confused.

Not exactly; but it is usually best to put a CView derived window in the client area of the Frame. I think that either CEditView or CRichEditView may provide what you are looking for.

Richard,
Thanks for the response. I tried using the class CEditView in a small test program and the small test program broke. As I understand it, the class CEditView is part of the Document / View model. The test examples that I have tried with the Document / View model did not seem to work or had issues. I am thinking that to change my code to use CEditView is going to be a major change. Do I have that right?

Think in more general terms.
CWnd wnd;
wnd.Create("Edit", "My Window", WS_VISIBLE, ...);You could also create a popup window by using CreateEx() instead. If that does not work, then use a dialog with an edit control on it.

How are we to know that?
Do you ever turn the read-only style off? If so, have you considered using a static control instead? What if you disabled the control instead of making it read-only? Have you tried setting the focus to the next control?

Hi ,
Can we append the _RecordsetPtr with another _RecordSetPtr . Suppose my recordset is having data for 2 rows . There are such 3 recordset. Can we create a new recordsetPtr which will be used to traverse through all these recordsets...is it possible..??
Thanks in advance..

No, but you could: 1) iterate through each and add to a common structure, or 2) change the query to include the other record sets.

Hello,
I'm working on an MFC application. For reasons I cannot fathom, there seems to be a problem with inconsistent display of the icons of an icon style CListCtrl between versions of Windows (XP and Vista). On Vista, one of the icons (Debtor statement) is omitted. This only occurs sometimes. When it actually occurs varies from build to build of the application, where changes between builds ought to have no bearing on this at all.
Why might this be? How can the problem be fixed? Here is the relevant code:
CMyReportView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
CFormView::OnInitialUpdate();
ModifyStyleEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, 0, SWP_FRAMECHANGED);
ReportsCtrl.ModifyStyle(0, LVS_AUTOARRANGE);
// Send an ID_RELOAD rather than calling UpdateStateData() directly - this is
// a hack to work around the problem of no icons being displayed initially
// in release build
SendMessage(ID_RELOAD );
}
CMyReportView::UpdateData()
{
CBitmap sales_bitmap,
daily_reconciliation_bitmap,
debtor_statement_bitmap,
debtor_invoice_bitmap,
voided_items_bitmap,
suspended_sales_bitmap,

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

I seem to have isolated the problem somewhat (It still erratically tends to swing between omitting and not omitting the icon between builds, I guess).
By commenting out:
ReportsCtrl.ModifyStyle(0, LVS_AUTOARRANGE);
I can make the problem disappear (although I have a new problem, which is that the icons are displayed as one big column). Commenting out anything else of note doesn't have the effect of suppressing the problem, so I guess that's progress.
Regards,
Sternocera

Hi Sternocera,
Where are you setting the column width?
|
|
|
|

Hi Randor,
I'm not - it isn't a report style CListCtrl, it's an icon style CListCtrl. I understand that column width isn't set with an icon style CListCtrl.

Sternocera

Have you entertained the possibility of a bad/corrupt/outdated icon cache? I've had it happen once with an older version of Windows, so it's probably not a common problem.

That seems like a reasonable explanation. I've found that moving the initialisation of the icons into OnIntialUpdate seems to fix the problem, but I'm not overly confident that it hasn't just temporarily concealed the problem.
I'll delete the cache to be sure.

Sternocera
