Re: Annoying icon on the menu row [modified]

Yes, you are right. I didn't notice it before, because the application uses child forms in maximized state by default. The name of the application is Agent Ransack and it is an alternative to Windows built-in search functionality. Usually one would work with just one child form.

Without having access to program source code, is there a way to prevent child form's icon and maximize, minimize, close items from showing up on main menu? By hex editing or resource hacking maybe?

Thanks.

MFC Window (Not Responding)

I have an application that runs fine withing Debug but as a standalone goes to a not responding state if any other window on the screen is activated. My question is "is this a mis handling of messages" or some other messaging problem. Another symptom is that the main menu is lost when the program goes into this state.

When Task Manager shows a "Not responding" status, it usually means the application is doing some intensive processing which is not yielding control of the CPU to any other processes. Why it's doing that is up to you, the application owner. Look at your code to see what changes between Debug and Release builds.

When the debug runs and release doesn't, it's very often a case of uninitialized variables or improper use of the ASSERT macros.

Hey, at least you seem to get it. I just love the individuals who seem to think they're entitled to a free ride.

Take a crack at the assignment and if you have trouble, identify a specific problem(s) and I'm sure people will be willing to help.

How to set "ifstream::rdbuf" bigger?

Hi

I am using following code to read in a bitmap file.

ifstream bifs( pFileName );
istream IStream(bifs.rdbuf());

But when I tried to use "istream.read( ... )" to get file data back, I can not get all the data in the file.

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks,

Has anyone encountered labels cutting off using the Ribbon Toolbar?

Dale Haessel9-Nov-09 7:35

The MFC example never cuts of button labels but my example cuts off when user resizes window. Even CMFCRibbonBar::ForceRecalcLayout doesn't help.

If we don't use icons, it doesn't cutoff (almost as if it calculates wrong amount of space used for certain icons and then figures out it doesn't have enough room for the label).

See code below => Just wondering if anyone else has seen this or has a way of avoiding it. In our code below, the Divide, Multiply, etc., Next, etc. would cutoff. It is really weird.

Re: Has anyone encountered labels cutting off using the Ribbon Toolbar?

Hi Dale,

Sorry for the delayed response. I am in the office working and participating in the forum part-time as time allows. I have added the code you suggested to the MSOffice2007Demo sample. I am not able to reproduce these cut-off issues you are describing. Would it be possible for you to upload a screenshot so we can see what your talking about?

Actually... I do see a drawing bug here in my office but it is in the "Oil in Mass" Panel. Here on my development box the text is drawing outside of the panel into the non-client area when I resize the window.

Best Wishes,

Could this be an XP issue (are you using XP or Vista or Windows7)?

How do u upload an jpeg to the message board?

Hi Dale,

My main development workstation is Windows7. Give me a few minutes and I will test the binary on Win2k and XP.

The forum does not support embedded images. I would suggest uploading to a free image hosting provider and posting the link here.

Thx, here is what I see given my original code from 1st email embedded into MSOffice2007Demo

http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/9932/ribbonl.jpg[^]

Notice how the multiply shows up but not the text to all the other buttons around it. Multiply is larger text than say add so Add should show up if Multiply shows. Any help would be most appreciated. As per everything, this is on XP => if it works on Vista/Windows 7, but not XP that would definitely be worth knowing.

Hi Dale,

I have tested the modified MSOffice2007Demo binaries on both Win2k and WindowsXP. The panels are drawing the same on all platforms. The only thing that I would classify as being strange... is that in your 'Column operations' pane the first item is 'Multiply' and for some reason this item is the last to be cropped. Even though 'Add' and 'Divide' have a smaller character width.

Is this what you are referring to when you say labels cutting off?

Hi Dale,

Thats exactly the same behavior I see in the MFC Feature Pack Ribbon Panel. I spent a few minutes debugging the issue and was able to track it down to the file:

\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\atlmfc\src\mfc\afxribbonpanel.cpp

And further into the CMFCRibbonPanel::Reposition function. I stopped debugging the issue at this point because it was taking more time than I was willing to invest. You may also be interested in the CMFCRibbonBaseElement::SetCompactMode[^] function. I did not spend the time to check if this function was able to fix the labels. You may want to continue the research.

Good Luck,
-David Delaune
