debugger will step into an little part of assembler.
i think it is the constructor.

how can i deactivate this sh*t!

i use MFC 2003 Version 7.1

This type of language should be reserved for the back room.

However if you do not want to see the assembler then use "Step Over" rather than "Step Into".

I'm not sure that I understand your query right, but you're probably pressing F11 instead of F10?

What i mean is when the CString is part of an function call.
When i try to step into the function first all of the Cstring constructors
comes with assembler code.

void function(CString xy,CString xy,CString xy)
{
}

F11

first CString assembler, sec. CString assembler,..., enter function...

Hi,
This is not the proper forum for my question.But i dont know where to post it.sorry.

Iam planning to use WPF controls in my MFC application.Either directly or by creating DLL in C#.

But i dont know anything about that.Is there any book to buy about WPF and VC++.
Pls provide me any information on that.

Just i want is..the look of WPF like buttons,colored Listbox,colored Dialog.But functionality of all buttons should come in MFC applcaition only.

You can host .NET content in a VC++ application. Usually there are two ways:
1) Convert the unmanged c++ application to managed using the /clr compiler switch /clr. Then you have access to all .NET code.
2) Load the WPF content from a .NET dll and host it using CLI/interop.

Owner Draw ListBox not recognising tab commands in strings

Hi,

After some struggle, and some good help from this forum, I find that I am now more or less managing to be able to manage my owner draw list box, except for 1 issue.

The strings I want to use contain tabs.

When I set my CreateStruct up in my PreCreateWindow, I have to disable LBS_MULTICOLUMN or my custom DrawItem function does not get called.
The downside of disabling the LBS_MULTICOLUMN is that the tabs in the string are discarded and my formatting goes to pot, even when configuring LBS_USETABSTOPS.

Any Suggestions?

TIA

Tony

Did you send the control a LB_SETTABSTOPS message?

Hi,

I hadn't sent a LB_SETTABSTOPS message, but I had used SetTabStops funtion, which had no effect.

In my OnInitDialog I have tried the following......

<per>
m_plbMyControl = new CCustomListBox();

if(NULL != m_plbMyControl )
{
CRect rList(10, 10, 580, 285);
DWORD dwStyle = LBS_NOTIFY | LBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE | LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT | LBS_HASSTRINGS | LBS_USETABSTOPS | WS_BORDER | WS_HSCROLL;

if(TRUE == m_plbMyControl->Create(dwStyle, rList, this, IDC_LIST_CONTROL))
{
//m_plbMyControl->SetTabStops(16);
::SendMessage(m_plbMyControl->m_hWnd, LB_SETTABSTOPS, (WPARAM)1, (LPARAM)16);
}
}

Whereas the SetTabStops call had no effect, the ::SendMessage just gets an unhandled exception.
I am sure the SetTabStops or LB_SETTABSTOPS is the right way to go, I just cant seem to work out how to use it properly!!!

Any further help would be much appreciated.

TIA

Tony

Just to see if the tabstops are even being used, have you played around with other values besides 16? Four character units does not seem large enough to separate anything but very small (1-2 characters) words.

Each time using ::SendMessage it crashes with an Unhandled Exception.

(I think) You need to use larger values, not smaller.

A value of 16 should give 4 display units I believe, so bigger than that would cause larger gaps in my spacing?

I don't understand why the ::SendMessage is failing though, each time it falls over in the first ::CallWidnowProc of DefWindowProc, i.e. m_pfnSuper is valid.

I can use a WPARAM of 0, and a LPARAM of NULL and it doesnt fail, but the ListBox still ignores TabStops.....

I'm beginning to think a redesign using a list control and hidden HeaderCtrl might be the way to go........

Yes, of course. The intent was to see if the tabstops were even working. At this point, you don't know if the tabstops are just not large enough, or if the LBS_USETABSTOPS style is being ignored, or if the LB_SETTABSTOPS message is wrong.

Hi David,

That probably was more blunt than I intended. I was more sort of querying that my understanding was correct of the dimensions.

The LBS_USERTABSTOPS I would guess is being ignored, probably because of one of the other settings.

Incidentally, would SetTabStops(16) have the same effect as the SendMessage()?

I would have thought it should.

Thanks for your help so far

That's easy enough to test. Create a non-ownerdraw listbox, and call AddString() to add the strings to it. If that works, then the problem likely has to do with the LBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE style.

maycockt wrote:

Yes. The former is just a convenient wrapper around the latter.

Having removed the LBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE the formatting is using the tabs appropriately, but with that I am back to square 1 of needing to intercept the drawing as I need to have some of the text emboldened.

Do you think then that my style settings must be wrong?

I currently rule out and include in the PreCreateWindow as follows

<per>
// Turn off disallowed styles
cs.style &= ~( LBS_SORT |
LBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED |
LBS_MULTICOLUMN);
// Turn on mandatory styles
cs.style |= ( LBS_NOTIFY |
LBS_HASSTRINGS |
LBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE |
LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT |
LBS_USETABSTOPS |
WS_BORDER );

Anything I am missing?

Are you calling TextOut() in the CCustomListBox::DrawItem() method? If so, try calling TabbedTextOut() instead. Also, the call to SetTabStops() seems to be unnecessary.

Hi David,

Thanks for your help.
TabbedTextOut was the solution to achieve what I wanted. I'm still a bit confused why LB_USETABSTOPS wasnt working, but hey ho - we have what the moeny men want now.

Thanks again

Um, it's owner-draw. You're the one doing the drawing. If it's not drawing the way you want, then fix your drawing code.

Thanks for your wonderful pearls of wisdom.

It must be nice to know everything and never be in need of asking a question, especially when helpful suggestions made don't bear fruition.

I had an issue, I asked a question, and someone was kind enough to work with me to get a result. Is that not what these forums are about?

Sorry, I thought I was being helpful: You have an owner-draw listbox. Therefore, you are doing the drawing. If it's not drawing the way you want, then you need to look more carefully at your drawing code. Since you didn't post your drawing code, it's not clear what further assistance was possible.
