Displaying Bitmpas On Win32 Apps dark12023-Jul-01 13:07 dark120 23-Jul-01 13:07  I'm a little confused, maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I have never done bitmaps in win32 apps before, and no I don't mean I've never put a bitmap in a dialog, or toolbar, I mean displaying on the actual app. I need help because I have a project due in a week or so, and need to display a certain bitmap in the app. Yes, I took training, but you tend to forget what you don't need over the years, and I need to know what header file to insert into the main program source file. I REALLY NEED HELP ON THIS ONE. "The world doesn't care about your self esteem.

Jase Jennings23-Jul-01 12:55 Jase Jennings 23-Jul-01 12:55  Hi, I want to learn how to create a toolbar which docks on the desktop, similar to the LiveTask bar used with Creative Soundblaster products. I want to be able to autohide, and add other menus / controls to it. The thing i have in mind is also similar to the office startup toolbar or even the windows start menu bar that pops up at the bottom of your screen. Whats it called and where can i find some sample code / further reading ? Thanks Jase Re: Dockable Desktop Toolbars ?

PostMessage and MSG handler Jon Marcus23-Jul-01 12:52 Jon Marcus 23-Jul-01 12:52  I have a regular DLL using MFC and within this DLL is a worker thread. While this thread is running, it is trying to update a dialog box (owned by the DLL) with some information on the thread's progress. Everything works OK except that the WPARAM and LPARAM values I pass to the dialog are not getting through, and are always zero. Is there some special reason for this?

Can you post the code running in worker thread that updates the dialog? Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com Re: PostMessage and MSG handler Jon Marcus24-Jul-01 12:06 Jon Marcus 24-Jul-01 12:06  thanks, but I didcovered a much simpler way to do this, which works well. CPropertySheet in wizard mode Jon Sagara23-Jul-01 11:23 Jon Sagara 23-Jul-01 11:23  Is is possible to disable the Cancel button, or to get rid of it? I tried to GetDlgItem(IDCANCEL)->EnableWindow(FALSE), but the program asserted. Thanks, Jon Sagara "Go Banana!" -- Ralph Wiggum Re: CPropertySheet in wizard mode Paolo Messina23-Jul-01 12:27 Paolo Messina 23-Jul-01 12:27  Are you calling it in your sheet's OnInitDialog? Or where? And what code asserts? ASSERT(::IsWindow(m_hWnd)) ? Re: CPropertySheet in wizard mode Jon Sagara23-Jul-01 12:40 Jon Sagara 23-Jul-01 12:40  Paolo, Thanks for the response. Your question triggered my brain, and I figured it out. Here is the correct (or working, anyway) code: pSheet->GetDlgItem(IDCANCEL)->EnableWindow(FALSE); Thanks again, Jon Sagara "Go Banana!" -- Ralph Wiggum Blinking label. John Uhlenbrock23-Jul-01 11:06 John Uhlenbrock 23-Jul-01 11:06  I need one I want need some text to blink on a dialog.... You know, like a dialog that pops up and the word DOWNLOADING blinks until the download is complete.... Any ideas? - John Re: Blinking label. Christian Graus23-Jul-01 12:15 Christian Graus 23-Jul-01 12:15  Set up a timer and call ShowWindow(SW_SHOW/SW_HIDE) on alternate calls. I'd override the static control and make it nice and internal. Then you can use it over and over. Christian #include "std_disclaimer.h" The careful application of terror is also a form of communication.

I need it to blink, while the the rest of the application keeps running...which means I need to have a seperate thread for the blinklabel? Re: Blinking label. Christian Graus24-Jul-01 10:46 Christian Graus 24-Jul-01 10:46  Not at all. Have you not used WM_TIMER before ? There is a tutorla here on how it's done, but the essence of it is on startup: SetTImer(42,1000,NULL); in OnTimer if (nIDEvent==42) // I may have the variable name wrong ;0) { m_bFlash = !m_bFlash; // You need to create this m_MyStatic.ShowWindow(m_bFlash ? SW_SHOW : SW_HIDE); } Christian #include "std_disclaimer.h" The careful application of terror is also a form of communication. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. Why my four radio buttons show up but no text next to them? tm23-Jul-01 10:39 tm 23-Jul-01 10:39  I am creating these four radio buttons dynamically. The behavior is so random and confusing. At some point I got some text, and then I can't get it anymore. I have been told by friends at this forum that maybe the width is not enough, one time that fixed the problem but not anymore!!!!!!! Here is the code: if (OneGrpPosition != NULL) { pConfig->m_OneRadioBtn = (CRadioBtn *) (((CGrpBox*)pConfig->m_OneGrpBox)->m_GrpRadioBtn).GetNext(OneGrpPosition); int len= ctrlRect.right - ctrlRect.left; ctrlRect.right = ctrlRect.left +len+ 60; if (ctrlRect.right >= 542) ::MessageBox(0, "Running out of screen width to display radio button", "Warning", MB_OK); ctrlRect.bottom = ctrlRect.top + 25; if (nDex == 0) // { m_RadioButtonArray[nDex].Create((pConfig->m_OneRadioBtn)->m_RadioLabel, WS_GROUP | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON, ctrlRect,this, (pConfig->m_OneRadioBtn)->m_RadioGuiID ); m_RadioButtonArray[nDex].SetFont(&m_font, TRUE); } else { m_RadioButtonArray[nDex].Create((pConfig->m_OneRadioBtn)->m_RadioLabel,WS_CHILD| WS_VISIBLE | BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON, ctrlRect,this,(pConfig->m_OneRadioBtn)->m_RadioGuiID); m_RadioButtonArray[nDex].SetFont(&m_font, TRUE); } nDex= nDex+1; ctrlRect.left = ctrlRect.right +10; //This radio button has already been added to the memory structure } } //This ia a new radio button that needs to be added to the memory structure } I am in Paradise.

Re: Why my four radio buttons show up but no text next to them? tm23-Jul-01 12:32 tm 23-Jul-01 12:32  top=35 bottom=60 L=120 R=220 I have tried L=120 and Right = 170 through 220. It is really confusing. Thanks for your time I am in Paradise. Voltaire Re: Why my four radio buttons show up but no text next to them? Paolo Messina23-Jul-01 12:37 Paolo Messina 23-Jul-01 12:37  Are you sure the radio buttons gets created? Can you see the dot? the if clause in your code is doing the same for both conditions... why? Re: Why my four radio buttons show up but no text next to them? 23-Jul-01 14:53 23-Jul-01 14:53  Yes, I see all my four radio buttons are being created. The first one is different from the other three, because I need to have them in a group. Meaning if I click on of them the other three are unselected. I do see the four of them being created. But no text next to them. I am thinking of just creating the first one to see if the text displays there. It is a weird one. I really am looking forward to solve this one!! Thanks again for your time. Re: Why my four radio buttons show up but no text next to them? Paolo Messina24-Jul-01 3:41 Paolo Messina 24-Jul-01 3:41  It's very weird, but to my experiece this kind of bugs are really stupid. Did you tried to use a hard-coded CRect for the creation, just to make sure it's not something else? However, if you would send me a small demo project, I'll give it a look. I hate this kind of bugs!

Thanks, Ganesh.M.Ramaswamy Ganesh.M.Ramaswamy Re: Monitoring Clipboard Michael Dunn23-Jul-01 10:28 Michael Dunn 23-Jul-01 10:28  See my article ClipSpy for an app that monitors the clipboard. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ "Make sure that if you are using a blow torch that you don't set anything on fire."   -- Chris Maunder Initial Update in CDialog 23-Jul-01 9:12 23-Jul-01 9:12  I have a progress bar in a CDialog and I want to step it as soon as the dialog becomes visible. I can't do that in InitDialog, because the dialog is not visible yet. Where would I do that?
