I have a group box in a CDialog. The group box is just box
with text in the upper left corner. Looks like:
|- Sample Text -------------|
| |
| |
|____________________________
How can I make the text in the group box bold or a different color
or something different? Do any classes exist for that resource?
Please any response any one can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Danielle Brina (an overworked graduate student)

You'd need to make the control owner drawn to do this, then you'd be responsible for doing it yourself.

I don't really have a good answer. Group box are special button that don't process messages. You can't send messages to them, according to the MSDN and Spy++ reports that no messages come in or go out. You could get away with making a group box with no caption and then placing a static control over the group box. You can use WM_SETFONT for the static without any problems.

Hi,
I have a dialog based application. The main dialog has a menu. This dialog creates a modal dialog. How can I access the menu of the main dialog from the modal one?
The program I'm working on runs in the system tray. It is used to shutdown, restart, logoff etc. The purpose of the modal dialog is to let me change what the default operation should be when I double click the icon in the system tray. As far as I know, the default menu item will be executed on the double click. Is that correct?
Thanks very much,

I want to know if there is any close button inside a command band in a rebar control.
How could I do that?
Any ideas?
Thanks for helping me out, Dani

How many items (maximum) can you put into a list box?
Jerry

|
|
|
|
Standard list box allows 32,767 items under Windows 95, 98 and ME and 2,147,483,647 items under Windows NT4, 2000, XP. The reason is that LB_GETTEXT uses a WPARAM for the index, which is 16-bit on 95/98/ME and 32-bit on NT4/2000/XP.

How do I create a groupbox dynamically?
|
|
|

If you are using MFC, try:
CButton::Create("", BS_GROUPBOX, ...);

When opening a file in C++ for input, is there a way to grab the 'file last modified' field?
|
|
|
|
|
Take a look at _fstat, or for an MFC version, use CFile::GetStatus

I created a metafile that creates a bitmap file and saves it to disk. A regular program like MSPaint has no problem opening the file. However, when i try to display the bitmap i created in my own program, it simply won't display it. I have (with an amount of certainty) determined that this is due to the fact that the metafile does not actually save it in bitmap format. It also saves it with a transparent background even though I call SetBkMode and SetBkColor functions. I hope this makes sense.
Thank You

What format is it saving it in then ? If MSPaint can read it, it must be a bitmap, gif or jpg, mustn't it ?

thats the funny part. i can save it with any extension and it will still open in MSPAINT.
|
|

The file extension is irrelevant, MSPaint works it out by looking at the file. SO... what are you saving it as ?

Hallo,
Last time my query is not clear. first of all thanx to alexander and john r shaw
This is the program in c to communicate with multimeter thro gpib card.
In visual c++6, i made a console application and it communicates ..
then i did the same thing in mfc with some buttons to do action it doesnt communicate .. there is no error in the program but it doesnt work...
Please help me in this regard...
#include <sicl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
INST dvm;
double res;
double list[2] = {1,0.001};
/* Log message and terminate on error */
ionerror (I_ERROR_EXIT);
/* Open the multimeter session */
dvm = iopen (“gpib0,16”);
itimeout (dvm, 10000);
/*Initialize dvm*/
iprintf (dvm, “*RST\n”);
/*Set up multimeter and send comma-separated
list*/
iprintf (dvm, “CALC:DBM:REF 50\n”);
iprintf (dvm, “MEAS:VOLT:AC? %,2lf\n”, list);
/* Read the results */
iscanf (dvm,”%lf”,&res);
/* Print the results */
printf (“Result is %f\n”,res);
/* Close the multimeter session */
iclose (dvm);
return 0;
}
thanx in advance
kingsly.

So what's the problem? I see no error-checking so how do you know which function calls are successful and which ones are not?

first of all , Thank you so much David crow.
There is no error in compilation but there is no communication at all(mfc) ..but it works in console application..
The library has some commands like iprintf,iscanf...is there we need any change in command or we need to do something...
because i can see the commmunication only, when i send a value to the amplifier or i recieve or the print the result..
how to do it in mfc..
..
thnx in advance..
mfg,
kingsly

From the code snippet you've shown, I see no benefit in using MFC. It's not going to do anything for you. When you create a console application that supports MFC, the main reason for doing so is to take advantage of one or more of the non-GUI classes that MFC provides. I just don't see that with what you have provided. Please correct me if I've errored.

I/O to a console window is done using cin/cout if using C++, or scanf/printf if using C. MFC does not provide anything useful for this, unless you are creating a GUI application.
