Override OnSetActive() when you want to (re)set the property page's controls. Override OnKillActive() and OnOK() (and optionally OnApply()) to capture the settings from the property page.

Well, I did that, but it doesn't cover all cases I want - for example, when a user simply clicks away from my property page to another control on the form view, I want to save data he had in the pp.

Ah, so your property sheet is a modeless one, and is a child of your form view. You could set a timer that does what OnKillFocus() would do, each time the property sheet loses (i.e. no longer has) focus. I admit the solution reeks of cheddar, but it would work.
But I think there may be something fundamentally wrong with your UI design if you need to do this. What might be more appropriate is updating your data every time the user tweaks a control within the property page(s). That way (a) you won't have to query the state of the controls and (b) your data will always be in synch with the GUI.

Well, the form view has the property sheets and a grid control, so when a user clicks on something in the grid, data gets updated in the property sheets, but it has to be saved when changed in the property sheets and displayed in the grid. So, that's the problem I have - to find out when the user clicked away from the property page, so that I could update the grid BEFORE the click gets there and resets the data.
I don't know if it's wrong UI design, but I couldn't think of any other way to accomplish this?
But I was thinking about updating the data after each control change, but I wanted to stay away from that path for as long as possible, since I have 6 property pages with around 50 controls, so that would be a lot of handler functions

But aren't these two messages what the OnSetActive() and OnKillActive() MFC functions do?
You see, I need the control to generate something when the user clicks away from it, not just changes to another property page.

Does handling WM_SETFOCUS / WM_KILLFOCUS help you?
(For me, it does not, because the controls get no WM_KILLFOCUS when the user clicks a Toolbar-button - probably the button does not accept the focus)

No, these messages are not sent to propery pages.

I know, you would have to do that yourself, using handlers in the sheet that re-send the message to the pages. (You could as well have the sheet send a private message (WM_APP+xx or a registred WM)

Well, I've tried capturing WM_KILLFOCUS and it doesn't reach the CPropertySheet  That's the original problem I have - normal messages are eaten up by the CMainFrame and never reach anywhere. That's why WM_ACTIVATE doesn't work as well...

WM_KILLFOCUS does indeed reach a PropSheet. I do handle it there.
If CFormView really eats it, re-send it in your CFormView derived class.

Well, WM_KILLFOCUS is caught in the CFormView, but I have no way of knowing (or at least I don't know of a way) to determine which window lost the focus, so I don't know to which window to send it. I have a property sheet and a grid control on my CFormView, and I need to determine when the property sheet looses focus, but OnKillFocus() provides a pointer to the new window, not the window that lost focus. Or is there a way to find out which window lost focus?
Thanks for your help!

Well, now I am out of luck. You *could* try to call CWnd::GetFocus() to determine which control currently has the focus.
But I do not know if this works.
Sorry, without CFormView your sheet can catch WM_KILLFOCUS, and that is what I do.
My only problem is that clicking a toolbar-button does not remove the keyboard focus from the control on my property page.

Yes, without the CFormView things worked for me too. That's why I got stuck when I implemented the CFormView. Perhaps it's an MFC bug or something... I think I'll go complain to MS, although that probably won't help me

They will thell you its the intended behaviour (its intention is to save programming time to fix the bug ).
Then they will tell you how nice .NET is...

Right
Oh well, I guess I'll do it the old-fashioned way, until I can find a solution - I'll just add an event handler for every change in every control and save data then. At least it won't be lost then.
Thanks again for your help!

The input will be whatever is typed. Perhaps you meant to ask something else.

Hi Experts,
I want to make a mimic (graphic) editor in which images will be displayed dynamically on click of button, will be resized, moved and finally, they will be connected to database. For that purpose I want to use "image edit activex control"
basically,I’ve to make a graphics editor in which when i press a specified button a picture should be displayed on the dialog.that picture will be associated with a variable in a table of a database. when the value of that variable changes in the database another picture is pasted on the previous picture.i-e a picture of engine is normal when variable is 1...but when the value is 0 the color of engine changes to red.
note:
-pictures are moveable and resizable.
-there can be alot of pictures on the dialog at a time.
-value in the database changes automatically through another program.
i m using kodak Image Edit activeX control for this purpose..i add the control in the project and create it on runtime with the help of create function Uptill now I am able to create the control dynamically with the required image displayed on it which can also be flipped on click event. I want to know how the dynamically created control be made able to move and resize.
any help how to do that? m i going in the right direction?bcz previously i was doing all this with the help of CBitmapButton.(information on how i did that available on demand if anyone interested)
plz help me !! I’ll be grateful to u
Regards,
nsaadyah

Hello,
I am trying to load up bitmaps onto DirectX surfaces. Well anyway...
this is the function prototype:
Load_Bitmap_File(BITMAP_FILE_PTR bitmap, char *filename);
so I tried to read the bitmap names from a file with the following:
<br />
infile.open("TileBitmap.dat");<br />
int value = 0;<br />
char tempFilename[256] = {0};<br />
<br />
<br />
while(infile)<br />
{<br />
infile >> value;
infile.getline(tempFilename, 256);
MessageBox(main_window_handle, tempFilename, "Test", MB_OK);<br />
<br />
if (!(Load_Bitmap_File(&bit, tempFilename)))<br />
{<br />
infile.close();
return 0;
}<br />
LoadBitmapSurface(Tiles[value], surface_desc, bit, TILE_WIDTH, TILE_HEIGHT);
<br />
}<br />
infile.close();<br />
and the darn thing fails with the Load_Bitmap_File
notice the MessageBox function, it outputs the contents of tempFilename. It displays filename.bmp. So it got the name, but it won't load the bitmap.
So I tried... manual initialization
<br />
char tempFilename[256] = "filename.bmp"<br />
Load_Bitmap_File(&bit, tempFilename);<br />
and that works fine! So what could be the problem here? is it somethhing with the cin.getline?? I checked the length, and it was correct... Please help thanks!

Is it possible that tempFilename contains an embedded LF or CRLF at the end of the string? That would explain why it would display fine in the message box, but would still bomb out. Stepping through in a debugger would be advised

Yes, that is most likely the case, because the file is setup as...
0 grass1.bmp
1 grass2.bmp
2 grass3.bmp
.

When using infile.getline(tempFilename, 256);, could there be extra (hidden) characters in tempFilename? MessageBox() is not exactly the best choice to use for looking at data.
Using both methods you described, put a breakpint on the Load_Bitmap_File() line and look at tempFilename in the debugger at that point. See if there are any differences between the two.

Hi,
I've been handling with a soccer game using STL and have the following function..
set<game>::iterator gameIterator = tournament->sche->games.begin();
Game *currentGame = new Game();
*currentGame = *gameIterator;
Then i have a function:
startGame(currentGame);
however, after the fuction, the currentGame's properties are updated. but not the properties for that particular game in
tournament->sche->games
Can anyone tell me why?
Thanks..
