Override OnInitDialog.
Call SetWindowText(_T("Changed Title")) there.

not necessary there...

the OP might need to change the caption at any time (not only at the dialog's construction). basically, this->SetWindowText() may be called in any event handler of the dialog itself...

Hot keys to CToolBar

Hi,
I need to assign hot keys - Ctrl + M etc. to my CToolBar class. How can I do that?

I load the toolbar images, set the separtors and then set the button texts. This toolbar has been created by framework via CMainFrame class.

Any pointers?

Regards
Misha

buttons in toolbars are associated with commands/menus.

you will simply need to add an accelerator in the resources.

Hello All,
I have a SDI MFC Application created with:
1. Application class derived from CWinApp,
2. Frame window class derived from CFrameWnd,
3. Document class derived from CDocument and
4. View class derived from CView.

I have all the required message maps and handlers in place and required registered doc templete.
My problem is when I bring up the SDI Window and try to write on the window some text, I am not able to even bring the cursor control on to the SDI window.

Please comment.
Thanks and Regds.
Amar.

Just set a breakpoint and debug your code. Single-step from the breakpoint and check what's happening.
When you know where (in your source code) you get the SQL error, then you probably can figure out how to fix the cause of the problem.

Which notepad file ? You mean '.txt' files ? They are simply text files, so you can open them (with fstream for example) and read the data out of it.

Perhaps the question is:
how to read a text file using C++?

Is it?

(Yes) Then you can use C++ fstream class, or C fopen, fread, fclose stuff, or, maybe, MFC CFile class, or, finally, win32 APIs such as OpenFile (hey, you've a lot of alternatives!)

(No) Formulate again (in a more comprehensible way) the question.

Owner draw combobox problem

Do you want to run NotePad.exe ?

In my appliaction I've modeless child dialog on the main application dialog. On the child dialog there is a combobox with properties set as:
Type->Drop List; Owner draw->Fixed; Vertical scroll checked.
I've derived a new class from base CComboBox class and overridden the DrawItem method in base class. I used the code available in MSDN inside this method. When I execute the application it gives a runtime error.

Can someone guide me how to solve the problem or implemement the owner drawn combobox ?

The same code works fine when the combobox is used on the main application dialog but not on the modeless dialog.
Please help.

Thanks,
Gajendra

Where it takes you in the code ?(can you follow callstack).
I dont think, this error related to owner drawn combo box. You must be doing something wrong with other code.

I just directly reused the code from "http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y5hb5f9t(VS.80).aspx[^]"

I think you can reproduce the problem with this code.

Can you show how you have created this control, or you have used DDX ?

Yes I'm using DDX control. I created the ctrl using drag and drop. Then I created the modeless dlg in OnInitDialog()function of Parent wnd as follows.

Modeless_Dlg* ptr_dlg = new Modeless_Dlg();

if(ptr_dlg)
{
ptr_dlg->Create(IDD_DIALOG_MODELESS, this);
ptr_dlg->ShowWindow(TRUE);
ptr_dlg->m_combo.AddString("FIRST");
ptr_dlg->m_combo.AddString("SECOND");
ptr_dlg->m_combo.AddString("THIRD");
}
else
AfxMessageBox("Error creating dlg");

The overridden drawitem method:
void CCustomComboBox::DrawItem(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpDrawItemStruct)
{
// TODO: Add your code to draw the specified item

ASSERT(lpDrawItemStruct->CtlType == ODT_COMBOBOX);
LPCTSTR lpszText = (LPCTSTR) lpDrawItemStruct->itemData;
ASSERT(lpszText != NULL);
CDC dc;

dc.Attach(lpDrawItemStruct->hDC);
ASSERT(lpDrawItemStruct->hwndItem = CWnd::GetSafeHwnd());

// Save these value to restore them when done drawing.
COLORREF crOldTextColor = dc.GetTextColor();
COLORREF crOldBkColor = dc.GetBkColor();

// If this item is selected, set the background color
// and the text color to appropriate values. Erase
// the rect by filling it with the background color.

CBrush br(RGB(255, 0, 0));

if ((lpDrawItemStruct->itemAction | ODA_SELECT) &&
(lpDrawItemStruct->itemState & ODS_SELECTED))
{
// Sets current cursor item color and selected item color
dc.SetTextColor(RGB(0, 255, 255));
// has no effect
//dc.SetBkColor(RGB(255, 0, 0));
// sets current cursor item background
dc.FillSolidRect(&lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem, RGB(0, 0, 0));

if ((lpDrawItemStruct->itemState | ODS_SELECTED) | (lpDrawItemStruct->itemAction & ODA_SELECT) )
dc.FrameRect(&lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem, &br);

}

else
{
// Sets list opening color and default combobox item color
dc.SetTextColor(RGB(0, 255, 255));
dc.FillSolidRect(&lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem, RGB(0, 0, 0));
}

// Draw the text.
dc.DrawText(
lpszText,
strlen(lpszText),
&lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem,
DT_CENTER|DT_SINGLELINE|DT_VCENTER);

// Reset the background color and the text color back to their
// original values.
dc.SetTextColor(crOldTextColor);
dc.SetBkColor(crOldBkColor);

dc.Detach();
}

Thats all the code I've added to the generated code.
I hope this helps you to figure out the problem...

Thanks,
Gaj

prasad_som12-Dec-06 3:19

You need to set type property to DropDown instead of DropList.
Go to resource, combo box properties -->styles-->Type , set it to DropDown.

12-Dec-06 3:36

Thanks for that Prasad... I tried the option. There are two problems with this approach:
1. It does not paint the combobox with the colors that i chose.
2. The selected text is not displayed back in the combobox edit area even if I set the index in the function mapped to ON_CBN_SELCHANGE message.

Can you suggest something on that? Smile | :)
