How to make a ClistCtrl has a gridline look?

LiYS30-Nov-04 21:55

I'm sure it involve LVS_EX_GRIDLINES attribute.
but ClistCtrl::SetExtendedStyle(LVS_EX_GRIDLINES | LVS_REPORT);
didn't work! Smile | :)

maybe LVS_REPORT has to be set through

ClistCtrl::SetStyle( LVS_REPORT );

and then try setting

ClistCtrl::SetExtendedStyle( GetExtendedStyle() | LVS_EX_GRIDLINES );

i think that LVS_EX_... means Extended style, and can be set only through SetExtendedStyle()

Hi, What's wrong with my VC++ 5.0 Compiler? It complains,
C:\VC\excel\excelDlg.cpp(130) : error C2039: 'SetStyle' : is not a member of 'CListCtrl'
C:\VC\excel\excelDlg.cpp(131) : error C2039: 'SetExtendedStyle' : is not a member of 'CListCtrl'
C:\VC\excel\excelDlg.cpp(131) : error C2039: 'GetExtendedStyle' : is not a member of 'CListCtrl'

Or You guys are wrong.;P

CAB project in Visual Studio .NET (Simple Q)

If you ever dealt with CAB-project this might be an easy question.

I’ve created a CAB-project and added an .ocx (ActiveX). When adding the CAB to my webpage the ActiveX will be registered and works good.

The problem is that my .ocx now uses a .dll that I also want to be registered so it can be used properly.
When I’m adding the .dll to the CAB-project that already contains my .ocx it doesn’t become registered when users loads my CAB. (The .ocx is still registered accurately.)

How do I make One CAB-file and force all it’s containing files (dll’s and ocx’s) to be registered?

When I make a new CAB-project and only adds the .dll it is registered as it should be.

OPENFILENAME: Modify Places bar?

In the Open File common dialog, is it possible to modify the "places" bar (the list where Desktop, My Files, Network environment etc. are displayed)

Our software offers standard locations for certain file types, which I'd like to put there.

This might be a stupid quistion for experienced developers, but is confusing me to much;

What is SDK? why it exists (any special reason)? why it is needed?

After some search on SDK, I have come to know that it is a s/w application /tool that allows to do low level API programming, here is the confusion i.e. when all APIs can be called in VC then why one should go for an SDK?

Re: some stupid questions .......

(1) VC contains part of the Platform SDK which is necessary to develop Windows applications (without that part you couldn't do it in VC)

(2) You need a newer Platform SDK if you want to access features available in new Windows versions

(3) If you are using a different compiler, you need the paltform SDK, too.

how to hide "main dialog" properly?

includeh1030-Nov-04 20:11

includeh10

30-Nov-04 20:11

The MFC app is "dialog based", "main window" is a CPropertySheet with 2 pages.

logic process in CWinApp::InitInstance() looks like

//-------------------------------
Hide "main window"

if(error)
{
show "main window";
display error on main dialog;
}
exit the app;
//-----------------------------

i have to hide main window first for some reasons - hard to explain why in a few sentences.

according to process above, if no error, i should see nothing.
but actually i always see the dialog in a flash.

it means main window (property sheet) has not been hidden properly and thoroughly.

do you know how to hide the dialog without seeing a flash?

thx

When you create dialog you specify its style, and one of the styles is if the window is shown or hidden. Remove shown flag. Use this if you create dialog through CDialog::Create()

If you created dialog in Resource editor then doubleclickit to change its properties, and turn off Visible property.

Docking Window

Shree30-Nov-04 18:57

I need to create a window that docks to the right of the desktop, pushing all existing windows to the left.

One solution is to use a desk band, but it has some undesirable features, such as, another desk band can come and merge into mine.

Is there a way to make a custom window behave like the desk band, or to make restrictions to the deskband such that it can be docked only on the right, and no other deskbands can be merged into it?

Thanks.

Menu bar with controls

I try to build a menu bar wich contains in adding to menu items also some controls as Menu Bar with controls as ComboBox and Buttons (see as example the menu bar of Word XP which contains a combobox for help question).
If someone has an idea please help me!

First off, what you are creating is a rebar control. This rebar control has two bands. First band is a menu bar control, and the second band is a combobox control.

Note that a menu bar control is NOT a CMenu object. MFC does not directly support a menu bar (as far as I remember), so you must design one yourself. A menu bar, basically, is a toolbar with a collection of text-only buttons. When clicking on a button, a pop-up menu is launched. This menu can be loaded from a resource, just like a normal pop-up menu would be.

To create a menu bar object, follow the implementation sample from MSDN here[^].

After this, create a CReBar control. From the frame window, remove the menu. Instead, add the CReBar, add the newly created menu bar control, and add the combo box control. You can add more controls if you want to. Then add the CReBar control into the frame window. Voila, you're done.

Select the bitmap into a new device context, (must be compatible, CreateCompatibleDC() does this);

then just CDC->BitBlt(); on the OnPaint() proc of the dialog app
