Re: what means "owner-drawn button"? Maer72731-Oct-01 3:01 Maer727 31-Oct-01 3:01  - Hi, Sowinski pal! - I still have a question. Can I implement the message handler function in the parent class and not in the CButton class? - Can you help? - Regards, Maer Re: what means "owner-drawn button"? Tomasz Sowinski31-Oct-01 3:19 Tomasz Sowinski 31-Oct-01 3:19  Can I implement the message handler function in the parent class and not in the CButton class? Yes. Just handle WM_DRAWITEM and do not call the base class (CWnd::OnDrawItem does the reflection and delegates drawing to buttons).

Simon Walton31-Oct-01 4:03 Simon Walton 31-Oct-01 4:03  You might want to take a look at some of the controls at CP, there are a few owner-draw buttons available with source. Creating one which acts almost identically to a standard Win9x button is a peice of cake. Just check the button's state and draw accordingly in DrawItem(). Simon Hey, it looks like you're writing a letter! Re: what means "owner-drawn button"?

It's possible to have items in the list that are more wide than the edit control, but in the edit control the user can't enter more characters in the offschreen area so if the edit control is filled, there is no possibility to enter more characters. Any idea how to solve this? Re: Setting width in Combobox? Eugene Pustovoyt31-Oct-01 2:05 Eugene Pustovoyt 31-Oct-01 2:05  Setting of width combobox is well described in Chris Maunder's article - http://www.codeproject.com/combobox/combodropwidth.asp Something else is necessary? Best regards, Eugene Pustovoyt Re: Setting width in Combobox? Alvaro Mendez31-Oct-01 12:11 Alvaro Mendez 31-Oct-01 12:11  If you enable the "Auto HScroll" option in the combo box (in the resource editor) the edit box will scroll to the right, like a regular edit box. Regards, Alvaro Re: Setting width in Combobox? 1-Nov-01 1:24 1-Nov-01 1:24  Thank you this helps. Sorry for bothering you with this DAU question. My mistake was that I took an extended Combobox which hasn't this option. So now my app works fine.

Thanks Re: Disable Close Button in the Dialog's Caption solex30-Oct-01 23:59 solex 30-Oct-01 23:59  What do you mean by "in the caption" Would GetDlgItem(ID_CLOSE)->EnableWindow(FALSE); do? A vast majority of our imports comes from outside the country. George W. Bush Re: Disable Close Button in the Dialog's Caption Eugene Pustovoyt31-Oct-01 0:56 Eugene Pustovoyt 31-Oct-01 0:56  The heading is such bar, at the top of dialog in which the heading of dialog is written and on the right there is a button to close as [x] What's the ID_CLOSE Re: Disable Close Button in the Dialog's Caption Tomasz Sowinski31-Oct-01 0:02 Tomasz Sowinski 31-Oct-01 0:02  I don't think it's possible unless you draw the caption and its buttons yourself in WM_NCPAINT. Why do you need this functionality? Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com Re: Disable Close Button in the Dialog's Caption Eugene Pustovoyt31-Oct-01 0:23 Eugene Pustovoyt 31-Oct-01 0:23  In some cases it is necessary for me to forbid for the user to make a cancellation, and button Close is equivalent to a cancellation! Re: Disable Close Button in the Dialog's Caption Deepak Khajuria31-Oct-01 0:29 Deepak Khajuria 31-Oct-01 0:29  Disabling the menu items in system menu disables the buttons on the Caption Bar. The following code should do: CMenu *pMenu= GetSystemMenu(FALSE); pMenu->EnableMenuItem(SC_CLOSE,MF_BYCOMMAND|MF_DISABLED); pMenu->RemoveMenu(SC_CLOSE,MF_BYCOMMAND); Deepak Khajuria Re: Disable Close Button in the Dialog's Caption Tomasz Sowinski31-Oct-01 0:41 Tomasz Sowinski 31-Oct-01 0:41  Nice trick! I've checked this on W2K - it's enough to call EnableMenuItem. Also, if for some reason it's OK to leave disabled item in the system menu, then MF_GRAYED instead of MF_DISABLED will be better - the menu item will actually look disabled. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com Re: Disable Close Button in the Dialog's Caption Eugene Pustovoyt31-Oct-01 1:23 Eugene Pustovoyt 31-Oct-01 1:23  Great, it's work! Thanks everybody for help!!!! Best regards, Eugene Pustovoyt Re: Disable Close Button in the Dialog's Caption Alvaro Mendez31-Oct-01 12:21 Alvaro Mendez 31-Oct-01 12:21  I'm glad you got it working, but you may consider that instead of disabling the Close button, you let the user press it but then show him a message box explaining why it's wrong to do so. Sometimes this is a more user-friendly way to go, since it doesn't leave the user wondering why he can't do something he's normally allowed to do (like closing windows), and then perhaps picking up the phone to ask Tech Support. If you tell him with a message box, he'll know right away. Regards, Alvaro Re: Disable Close Button in the Dialog's Caption Eugene Pustovoyt31-Oct-01 19:06 Eugene Pustovoyt 31-Oct-01 19:06  Very good remark, but I do not know as it is possible to handle the message from the button taking place outside of client parts of dialog! Therefore I while shall leave as am! If you may prompt me how make that about what you wrote (it is desirable with an example of a code) I shall be very grateful to you. Re: Disable Close Button in the Dialog's Caption Alvaro Mendez1-Nov-01 5:32 Alvaro Mendez 1-Nov-01 5:32  When the user presses the Close button, the WM_CLOSE message is sent to the dialog box. Use the Class Wizard to add a handler (OnClose) for that message and you can write your code in there. Regards, Alvaro Re: Disable Close Button in the Dialog's Caption Orgen Kl10-Feb-02 20:31 Orgen Kl 10-Feb-02 20:31  Very good, this works fine. This disables the main windows close button. How can I disable the close button form a child window, say a open document in a mdi application?
