hi,
I created a CView derived type window in a dialog by passing the dialog as the parent window and its client area as the size.
Now-I get the display,also any drawings made or things add etc but I get some kind of debug error while closing the application and also I can't click on the view.Again error .
My question is
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. Confused | :confused:

Is the CView object declared as a member of the dialog class.
If so try creating a heap object. Means instead of a CView member, use a CView* member. The CView classes call a delete this in the destructor or just before the destructor [dont remember exactly] and this often causes problems for stack objects [even member objects of other objects]

You shouldn't create a CView derived object as a child of a CDialog. Views typically reside in frames. if you want to reuse a set of controls, encapsulate them in a modeless dialog. You can then reuse the modeless dialog in a view or a dialog.

hi,
thanx to every one who answered.
The situation is like this,
In my dialog class I have declared CGView(and later CGView*) type variable.(CGView : public CView)
In the OnInitDialog I got the client rect and created the view with that rect.
In mainframe OnCreate I made the dialog modeless.

Everything is fine untill I click on it.I will have to debug and it takes me to Viewcore's mousemessagefilter(something) function's line asserting the view to be pDesktopWindow.This is irrespective of it being pointer or not.

Then with nonpointer variable I had another error while terminating the application.

Why can't we create CView types in a dialog box?That would be simpler than all those methods described in this site.

And Nish,it still didnot work.

OCX Control Question

I'm using an OCX control in a small util, and one of the params requires a Boolean value. Since an OCX uses all Variant types, I defined a VARIANT_BOOL and assigned it to a C++ BOOL, then later a 'bool', but neither works.

I read up on the control and VB booleans, and the documentation indicates this is a 2-byte boolean "True/False" field. No matter what I try, the control tells me the param is invalid and should be either True/False.

I've tried: CString, BOOL, bool, BYTE, short, int, long, VARIANT_BOOL and castings of these data-types in various forms, but none of them worked! Eek! | :eek:

Can someone please point me in the right direction, I just can't imagine it should be so difficult. Cry | :((

Thank you

D.

HA! Answered my own question, but I'll post the solution incase anyone else has this same problem (if there's a better way, PLEASE let me know).

// Set Init Variant Type as follows
COleVariant myVar(VARIANT_BOOL(TRUE));

// change to 2-byte bool type
myVar.ChangeType( VT_BOOL, NULL );

// call OCX
TheOcxCtrl->Save( myVar );

This works just fine! Big Grin | :-D

radio buttons

22-Mar-02 4:43

if some one chosses one radio button and clicks ok to move on to the next step, what code can i use to block them selecting the other two throught the use of that dialog.
Only once they reset the program can they change there selection.

Confused | :confused:

Actually if you have three radio buttons and only one of them has the group option set, then the user can actually select only one of them at a time. They will be mutually exclusive.

UpdateData(false)

22-Mar-02 4:11

hi i was told to use "UpdateData(false)" to clear my dilog boxs but this seems to only clear one edit box and not reset the other 3 boxs plus radio buttons.
any hints?

Re: UpdateData(false)

Andres Manggini22-Mar-02 4:23

that's not completly correct.
the objective of UpdateData is not to clear fields, actually, UpdateData(FALSE) will Update the values of your controls with the values of the mapped variables of your Dialog. UpdateData(TRUE) will update the mapped variables with the values of the controls.

So, lets say you have a Editbox mapped to this variable m_myEdit, this variable is empty, and the user type some text into the Edit, then you call UpdateData(FALSE), this means "Update the control value, with the value of m_myEdit", and since your variable is empty, the control will be set to "".

For this to work you must not use UpdateData(...) elsewhere.
When you call UpdateData(false) the controls get updated with the stuff in the DDX variables. Now assuming you haven't manipulated the contents of those variables on your own either directly or using UpdateData(...), the call to UpdateData(false) will reset the controls to the state they were in when the dialog was launched.

The enter key?

22-Mar-02 4:08

I was wondering if anyone knows why pressing the enter key closes dialog boxes, when you do not want it to. If anyone knows how to stop this action please help me. Eek! | :eek:

Pressing Enter calls the OnOK() of the Dialog. If the Dialog is derived remove the line that has CDialog::OnOk()....this will prevent the dialog from closing

lucy22-Mar-02 4:55

22-Mar-02 4:55

some guru has explained how to do this before. Here is what I remembered:
overwrite the OnOK() function:
if ( GetFocus() != GetDlgItem(IDOK) )
return;
else
CDialog::OnOK();

You can override PreTranslateMessage

That Button is your default control in your dialog,if change this property in dialog editor I THINK this problem will solve.

No, I think you still need to overwrite PreTranslateMessage (or a different approach as pointed on a previous message).
