Download source program (version 1.01)

Update information

Only new features and bug-fixed are displayed bellow.
Please visit previous version 1.00 for more information.
 

• FunctionCreate() function has been changed to:
  BOOL Create(CWnd*pMum,int iBmpID,int cx,int iBarID=-1,COLORREF clrBkgnd=RGB(192,192,192));
  In version 1.00, the function is:
  BOOL Create(CWnd*pMum,int iBmpID,int cx,int iBarID=-1);
    
  clrBkgnd : transparent color of bitmap resource, similar to the color in CImageList
   
  I developed 1.00 on Win98, but when I tested on XP, I found the problem: bitmap background is not transparent to COLOR_BTNFACE, this parameter allows to fit the color to COLOR_BTNFACE - automatically done by CImageList.
   
• MessagesA new message is added to the toolbar: 
  If user right clicks a button, the new message is distribute to parent window.
   
  To process multiple messages in parent widow, a message class has to be used.
  Message signature is:
  message: WM_COMMAND, wParam: toolbar's ID (same as in version 1.00).
  lParam: a pointer to class ToolbarMine::Message.
   
  The inner message class contains following members:
  class Message
  {
  public:

  UINT	uMessage;	//see bellow
  int	iIndex;	//index of the button clicked
  CRect	rcButton	//rectangle of the button clicked

  };
   
  uMessage has 2 cases:
   
  
  1. WM_LBUTTONDOWN
     It is the same as the only message in version 1.00.
     Please note: 
     The message is actually distributed at WM_LBUTTONUP for independent buttons.
     It is almost unnecessary to define new message constant, so I simply use this existing Windows constant.
     This is similar to Windows' common buttons, which tell us a button is clicked rather than down or up.
      
  2. WM_RBUTTONDOWN
     The message is distributed when user clicks a button by right-button of mouse.
     Right-clicking a button does not change button situations (checked or pressed) at all.
      
     The message allows us to do some interesting things with it.
     In my application (not sample program), I display a popup menu associated with the message, which contains "Help", "Edit", "Submit" and "Close" menu items, so my application can offer more options with a button.
