Set the dialog's parent to NULL. Since the MDI frame is the parent hence it stays on top of it.

Tried it with null also  it's still a modal window and hence it has top most style (as opposed to views)

How are you displaying it. Are you calling DoModal() or ShowWindow().

I am surprised. Then how is it being displayed as a modal dialog. Are you able to interact with the parent window.

I'm able to interact with the parent window..in fact it's just as if it weren't there. I can push buttons and stuff on views behind it...It's just that it is drawn on top of all other modeless windows. It's quite odd..try it, you'll see. Just create a MDI project, add in a dialog, add a member to that dialog to your mainframe class and call:
VERIFY(pMainFrame->m_InitialDlg.Create(CInitialDlg::IDD, pMainFrame));
VERIFY(pMainFrame->m_InitialDlg.SetWindowPos(&wndBottom, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_SHOWWINDOW|SWP_NOSIZE|SWP_NOMOVE));
in OnCreate method of the MainFrame class

What about simple ShowWindow() Is that of any use.

It's actually the same thing. SetWindowPos gives more options. I guess i could play with showwindow(sw_show)/showwindow(sw_hide) depending wether or not there are open documents but that's not a nice thing.

This is the problem I guess. You are setting the parent to pMainFrame. Hence it stays on top of the frame. Give NULL and it will go behind.

Ok, now my code looks like this:
VERIFY(pMainFrame->m_InitalDlg.Create(CInitialDlg::IDD, NULL));
pMainFrame->m_InitalDlg.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
It's still the same thing. Actually now i can't even press the buttons on m_InitialDlg.
This is the dialog's style:
DS_SETFONT | DS_3DLOOK | DS_FIXEDSYS | DS_CONTROL | DS_CENTER | WS_CHILD
|

Why is WS_CHILD given for a dialog that you want to be popup. . Lol make it WS_POPUP.

Thanks for your help man. It's still not working though . Have you done this? Are you sure it will eventually work this way?
|
|
|
|

Do i need to call repaint or something anywere? If i set style to popup, it becomes visible when the user presses a button in that area of the main frame( Even though another child window is opened)

Instead of pMainFrame give m_InitialDialog.GetDesktopWindow().
i.e
VERIFY(pMainFrame->m_InitialDlg.Create(CInitialDlg::IDD, m_InitialDialog.GetDesktopWindow()));
I did a small sample and this worked...
static CAboutDlg dlg;
if( dlg.m_hWnd == NULL )
dlg.Create( IDD_ABOUTBOX,dlg.GetDesktopWindow());
dlg.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

Can't draw CString string with DrawString(GDI+)
CString str=_T("test string");
FontFamily fontFamily(L"Times New Roman");
Font font(&fontFamily, 24, FontStyleRegular, UnitPixel);
PointF pointF(30.0f, 10.0f);
SolidBrush solidBrush(Color(255, 0, 0, 255));
graphics.DrawString(str.GetBuffer(), -1, &font, pointF, &solidBrush);
|
|
|
|
|
DrawString will take WCHAR* as its first argument, CString::GetBuffer() won't workout. Try using WCHAR* instead str.GetBuffer()
|
|

There's no need to use GetBuffer, you can simply pass the CString object, if it's the right width. I suspect you're compiling without UNICODE defined, so your CString is actually a CStringA, which does not have a conversion operator to const WCHAR*. It stores byte-oriented national character set characters. GDI+ expects UTF-16 Unicode characters. You need to either store your strings in this format, or convert them when you need to use them.
Unless you want compatibility with Windows 9x, the easiest thing to do is to simply define UNICODE and _UNICODE, or select the 'Unicode' configuration if you already have one. You need to define both macros because the Windows headers use UNICODE while the C run-time uses _UNICODE. This forces all CString objects to be UTF-16 Unicode. You'll have to fix any compile errors you get here, where you've used a string not wrapped in _T().
Slightly more difficult is to store any strings you want to display on screen in the correct format. Here you should consider using CStringW objects (I'm assuming you're using at least MFC 7.0 from Visual Studio .NET 2002, rather than MFC 6.0). You can construct a CStringW from byte-oriented national character set data (char*). You can convert at the point of use if necessary. Using CStringW is slightly more straightforward than trying to use the MultiByteToWideChar API directly.
If explicitly using the wchar_t, WCHAR or CStringW datatypes, you should use the L"" syntax to specify your string literals, rather than _T(). Only use _T() for values that should change format depending on whether _UNICODE is defined.

CPropertySheet properties(_T("вфыавав"), this, 0);//error C2664: 'CPropertySheet::CPropertySheet(UINT,CWnd *,UINT)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const wchar_t [13]' to 'UINT'
??? but CPropertySheet have constructor with LPCTSTR as the 1st parameter
explicit CPropertySheet(
LPCTSTR pszCaption,
CWnd* pParentWnd = NULL,
UINT iSelectPage = 0
);
|
|
|
|

Based on your other question I'd say you probably have _UNICODE defined (which causes _T("") to become L"") but not UNICODE, which causes LPCTSTR to become LPCWSTR rather than LPCSTR.

Hello, I want to add a new font to my project but I dont know how?
I downloaded a program and made my font MyFont.ftw and I want to add it,how can I add it to my project and use it in the Static Text.

Not sure what you mean but you can change the Static font like this
CFont *pNewFont = new CFont;
LOGFONT lf = { 0 };
lf.lfHeight = -12;
lf.lfWeight = FW_LIGHT;
_tcscpy(lf.lfFaceName,_T("Tahoma"));
pNewFont->CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
//After the Static control is created
//Typically in InitDialog functions
GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC_TEXT)->SetFont(pNewFont);
//Don't forget to Delete the font in OnDestroy
delete pNewFont;
Hope it helps
