Setting the fonts of all controls on a CFormView

Hello all,

Here's the deal Smile | :)

I'm trying to set the font of all the controls on a CFormView to a larger font. I don't want to have to create an ID for each control and manually do a SetFont() on each. Is there an easier way to this?

Thanks.

Click on your form in your resources.then in the property of your form change the font then all your control have the same new font.

I have a form view and there are some controls,I need something like "Anchor" property.I mean when I change the size of forms my controls always have the same distance from left or right.
How can I gain this?

how to determine current authentication?

AJ Weber5-Mar-02 2:39

Anyone have a code snippet that returns a string of the current NT Domain where the user authenticated? I know there's a utility in the NT/Win2K Resource Kit that returns something like:
MYDOMAIN\myuser
in the output...but I'm not sure where they're getting that info from (where "MYDOMAIN" is the name of the domain the user logged-in to, and "myuser" is the username that they used).

Also, if anyone knows how this translates when moving to AD, I'd appreciate any info.

Thanks in advance!

That's the easy part. Now how do you determine where the user authenticated? (i.e. local host, NT Domain, etc.)

I need the "context" of the user's authentication.

Thanks for the reply...good quote...

--AJ

PS: I see a "GetUserNameEx" for Win2K and later...it would do what I need (I think), but I need some kind of compat. with NT4 and probably Win98 as well.

Move cursor pos into CEdit

How do to move the cursor ("|") into a CEdit?
Thanks

Assuming you've set focus to the edit control (by calling SetFocus()), you should be able to select an empty portion of the text (starting at the location of interest) using SetSel(). So, to position the cursor at the 3rd char, try:

CEdit* pEdit = (CEdit *) GetDlgItem (IDC_EDIT);
ASSERT (pEdit != NULL);
pEdit->SetFocus();
pEdit->SetSel (2, 2, TRUE);

Best way to prevent frame resizing?

Richard Everingham5-Mar-02 1:49

Alright in my MDI ap I have CFormViews. I know how to set the child frame initialy to fit the form. What I would like to do is keep it that way.

So what would be the easiest way to prevent the child frame that wraps the form from being resizeable by the user?

I have seen some solutions that invlove removing the client edge but I want it to stay looking the way it does (like a regular window).

Thx,
Richard

You can override the function for WM_NCHITTEST. Call the default implementation and then if it returns one of the borders, then return HTBORDER.

You can have it the other way around (resize the parent to fit the child view) with CScrollView::ResizeParentToFit. As for having your frame window unresizable, add this PreCreateWindow handler:

BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
  cs.style&=~WS_SIZEBOX&~WS_MAXIMIZEBOX;
  return CFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs);
}

I think fixing the size in the WM_GETMINMAXINFO message handler is the easiest way.
