Re: Cannot size window using STARTUPINFO

Before I started to look for ways around it I would verify the code with notepad (an application that respects it, I think) or something. I can't think of any easy way around it. You could install a WM_CBT hook with the SetWindowsHookEx API but this would involve setting a global hook (and thus creating a DLL and taking care that it doesn't crash or effect other applications).

An application is free to ignore the values in the STARTUPINFO structure if it wants to.

How to span columns in CListCtrl

My application scrolls data in real-time over several columns using a CListCtrl (MSVC++ 6.0). I'd like to occasionally put a user-message that takes up the entire row, spanning all the columns in the table. The MFC Grid Control doesn't seem to have this feature (hint hint).

Does anyone know if this has been done? Thanks!

Which implies that a list control certainly doesn't!

Can you embed an Excel sheet into the application?

Yes, the Excel functionality is just what I'm thinking of, but I think embedding an Excel sheet would probably be overkill

You could subclass the control and put code in to draw to text manually (just the "full line" text).

It's not supported by the control directly, but it isn't terribly difficult.
Review the various custom draw articles in the CListCtrl section here on CP - you want to intercept drawing for a specific row, and draw it yourself.

This is what I'm looking into now. I'm stumbling a little on the issue of how to derive from CListView because CListView HAS A CListCtrl, but supposedly can act as if it IS A CListCtrl. Thanks for the response...

Actually, CListView IS a CListCtrl. If you look at the implementation of GetListCtrl(), it merely does

return (*(CListCtrl*)this);

or something similar.

Use custom draw to draw whatever you want in your user-message rows. See: Neat Stuff to do in List Controls Using Custom Draw[^]

Thanks Mike,
I had scanned your article and for some reason didn't think it was what I needed.

It is EXACTLY what I needed, thanks.

Since my derived CListView class IS A CListCtrl apparently, I'm using the ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT version.

Embedding a CString pointer in the items lparam, and using DrawText to draw the string centered in the row. Returning *pResult = CDRF_SKIPDEFAULT to prevent any other drawing in these rows.

That was EXACTLY what it was, a program that "create" a screensaver.

VisuallC wrote:

I don't get it ... do you know or not know how to create/program a screensaver ?

VisuallC wrote:

You want what ? just an existing screensaver that can display pictures on the screen ? or program one that display pictures ?

I need to click on a menu item and use a linked list to display it on the blank screen below in CChildView
I'm using a linked list to store the list of menu items but am unsure of how to implement it this way
This is for a school assignment and I'm really stuck.

Have what displayed on the screen? if "it" refers to the menu item, it is already displayed on the screen else you would have been unable to click it. Confused | :confused:

How to add MENUITEM to IDR_POPUP_MENU

inf0091-Feb-06 6:46

1-Feb-06 6:46

Hi,

I have an app that is running in the system tray. My .rc looks something like this:

IDR_POPUP_MENU MENU
BEGIN
POPUP "POPUP"
BEGIN
MENUITEM "Maximise", ID_MAXIMISE
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
MENUITEM "Exit", ID_APP_EXIT
END
END

So, whenever I right-click on the icon it shows me "Maximise", a separator and an "Exit". I want to dynamically add MENUITEM. I tried this:

CMenu menu;

if ( menu.LoadMenu( IDR_POPUP_MENU ) )
{
CMenu* pSysMenu = menu.GetSubMenu( FALSE );

if (pSysMenu != NULL)
{
CString strAboutMenu = "it works";
if (!strAboutMenu.IsEmpty())
{
pSysMenu->AppendMenu(MF_SEPARATOR);

// what should I put as second parameter???
//pSysMenu->AppendMenu( MF_STRING,NULL,strAboutMenu);
}

}
}

But as you can guess it didnt work. Please help.

Thanks
