C / C++ / MFC

16-Jan-06 5:39

I prepared (in Visual Studio 2003 + MFC) "Dialog Based" Application. Now, I have one dialog window where I want to add two book marks.

I have two objects:
class DlgPage1 : public CPropertyPage
// variable mPage1
class DlgPage2 : public CPropertyPage
// variable mPage2

In the resource window I have done two dialogs with properties:

Style = child
Border = thin
TitleBar = true
Disabled = true

In the OnInitDialog (main window) function I have code:

mPropertySheet = new CPropertySheet("Simple PropertySheet");

mPage1 = new DlgPage1();
mPage2 = new DlgPage2();

mPropertySheet->AddPage(mPage1);
mPropertySheet->AddPage(mPage2);

mPropertySheet->Create(this, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 0);
mPropertySheet->ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT);
mPropertySheet->ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_TABSTOP);
mPropertySheet->ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_MAXIMIZE);

// now, I want to resize windows for almost maximum size
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(&rect);
int Width = rect.Width()-7;
int mHeight = rect.Height()-7;

mPropertySheet->SetWindowPos(NULL, 7, 7, mWidth, mHeight, SWP_NOZORDER);

================
The SetWindowPos doesn't do what I expect.
Why the windows doesn't resize?
It has the size - I designed in the Resource.

And this is exactely what you request by doing this:

// now, I want to resize windows for almost maximum size
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(&rect);         // Get size in resource
int Width = rect.Width()-7;
int mHeight = rect.Height()-7;

// Give control the resource size again  !! (start + height/widht -7 = 7 + h/w - 7 = h/w)
mPropertySheet->SetWindowPos(NULL, 7, 7, mWidth, mHeight, SWP_NOZORDER);

If you want to maximize your widows, use GetSystemMetrics to get the screen size, and use SetWindowPos to update your window size:

int cx,cy;
cx=GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);
cy=GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);
mPropertySheet->SetWindowPos(NULL, 7, 7, cx-7, cy-7, SWP_NOZORDER);

Does mPropertySheet actually represent a dialog control? Normally in MFC you'll have an instance of a C++ class for a dialog control in the header of the dialog and DDX_Control in your DoDataExchange handler to associate the class with the control. i.e.:

// In header file.
class CMyDialog : public CDialog
{
// Stuff here
CEdit m_EditControl;
// More stuff here
};

void CMyDialog::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)
{
    CDialog::DoDataExchange(pDX);
    //{{AFX_DATA_MAP(MyDialog)
    DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_EDIT1, m_EditControl);
    //}}AFX_DATA_MAP	
}

In your code it looks like you're just creating a CPropertySheet but I can't see where you're associating it with a control on your dialog.

I was based on the book:
"Visual C++ Bible" Richard C.Leinecker, Tom Archer.
There are samples how to create instance of the classes CPropertyPage, CPropertySheet. There is no associating with a Control and it works.
But there is also a sample - how to create this classes in existing Dialog.
I wrote it in my sample - and there is no right effect Smile | :)

(I think it will be a little problem, but I am interesting in solve it).

Hi,
I am not clear about your problem.
Any how, I'll tell you what I feel about this

If nFlags is nonzero in ModifyStyleEx, then the fuction calls the Win32 function SetWindowPos and redraw the window.

So please take a look into all the parameters in ModifyStyleEx function call.

better remove the function calls of ModifyStyleEx and use only SetWindowPos. Once after getting correct try to add the above three function calls of ModifyStyleEx on by one.

Cool | :cool:

Need help, the solution works partially!

It is my code:
// CSheet *sheet: class CSheet : public CPropertySheet
sheet = new CSheet("Sheet");

// CDlg1 and CDlg2 properties:
// style = child
// border = Thin
// Disabled = TRUE
//
//CDlg1 *pg1: class CDlg1 : public CPropertyPage
pg1 = new CDlg1();
//CDlg2 *pg2: class CDlg2 : public CPropertyPage
pg2 = new CDlg2();

sheet->AddPage(pg1);
sheet->AddPage(pg2);

sheet->Create(this, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 0);

sheet->SetWindowPos(&CWnd::wndTopMost, 12, 12, 578, 578, SWP_NOZORDER);

sheet->ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT, SWP_NOZORDER);
sheet->ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_TABSTOP, SWP_NOACTIVATE);

But it still desn't work. Have I any mistake?
I thought - it is simple. I have an example from the book: "Visual C++ 6 Bible". (:

Scroll Bar Problem

recently, I want some controls to reside in CFormView, and I want to hide the scroll bar of CFormView during program life, has someone any ideas to hide the scroll bar in CFormView? Thanks in advance.

Do this...

Create two CScrollBar in your mainframe class.

Create both of them like this...(Do this inside OnCreate for the frame)

//take note I have not mentioned WS_VISIBLE as style. Hence they become hidden

RECT r = {0,0,0,0};
VERIFY(m_sbVert.Create(WS_CHILD|SBS_HORZ, r, this, AFX_IDW_HSCROLL_FIRST));
VERIFY(m_sbHorz.Create(WS_CHILD|SBS_VERT, r, this, AFX_IDW_VSCROLL_FIRST));

Now inside your form view class override a function called GetScrollBarCtrl

CScrollBar* CMsgTesterView::GetScrollBarCtrl(int nBar) const
{
	CWnd* pParent = GetParent();
	UINT nID;
	if (nBar==SB_VERT)
		nID = AFX_IDW_VSCROLL_FIRST;
	else
		nID = AFX_IDW_HSCROLL_FIRST;

	CScrollBar * sbBar = (CScrollBar*)pParent->GetDlgItem(nID);
	return sbBar;
}

This will work as it is working here.

Yes, the solution works in non-split mainframe, but my program layout of whole frame is like ' |- ' symbol(two panes, the right one contains top and bottom sub pane), and I tried your solution that can hide the horizontal scroll bar in CFormView(right-top subpane), not vertical scroll bar in CFormView and CTreeView(left pane). Any idea? plus, the solution for CTreeView,CEditView?
Thank you in advance!

Try putting the scrollbars that I mentioned inside the CView class that you want. And Initialize them as I told. Do override the GetScrollBarCtrl function.

Input:
C:\Sample\Ex1.doc,....Exn.doc files available in "Sample" folder in any drive

Provide that u have to make use of already available "winzip.exe" available in the system.

OutPut:

C:\SampleOut\Ex1.zip,....Exn.zip

Thanks in advance

ShellExecute() on Winzip.exe, and read winzip.exe command line doc to know its waiting parameters for such an action...

see here[^]

ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "C:\Program files\Winzip\winzip32.exe", "myfile.doc myoutput.zip", NULL, NULL);

this line is what i guess, but i'm not sure how the winzip command line works... read first how it waits for the parameter, and if it is winzip32.exe to call, etc...
