Modal dialog boxes are an automatic solution.
<marquee direction="up" height="30" scrolldelay="1" step="1" scrollamount="1" hspace="0" vspace="0">
--Owner Drawn
--Nothing special
--Defeat is temporary but surrender is permanent
--Never say quits
--Jesus is Lord

How to change CEdit's background color and text color? thanks.
|
|
|
|

If you want to do this inside a dialog box handle the WM_CTLCOLOR message.
Another option is using message reflection. Try to sub class the CEdit and handle the ON_WM_CTLCOLOR_REFLECT message.
<marquee direction="up" height="30" scrolldelay="1" step="1" scrollamount="1" hspace="0" vspace="0">
--Owner Drawn
--Nothing special
--Defeat is temporary but surrender is permanent
--Never say quits
--Jesus is Lord

What you should do is run your process in another thread, otherwise your core problem is that your status bar won't update itself until your other task finishes.

I would assume you are using MFC.
If you are doing the processing inside CMainFrame, then you could simply use:
m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneText(Pane_No, "New Text");
If you are using the View, then use a user-defined message to send to CMainFrame. You can use resource.h and define your message id:
#define WM_MY_SETTEXT 3020
And include resource.h in mainframe.
From the View, send the message away:
AfxGetApp()->GetMainWnd()->SendMessage(WM_MY_SETTEXT,0,(LPARAM)"Hello old man");
In mainframe.h, declare your own message handler:
LRESULT OnMyMessage(WPARAM, LPARAM);
In mainframe.cpp, include your function in the message-map macro:
...<br />
ON_MESSAGE(WM_MY_SETTEXT,OnMyMessage)<br />
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
Then later in mainframe.cpp, implement it:
LRESULT CMainFrame::OnMyMessage(WPARAM, LPARAM lParam)<br />
{<br />
TCHAR* pS = (TCHAR*)lParam;<br />
TCHAR ss[200];<br />
strcpy(ss,pS);<br />
m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneText(0,ss);<br />
return 0;<br />
}
this is this.

CStatusBar class has a method called SetPaneText(). You can use that.
For eg:
CStatusBar s;//Your status bar
s.SetPaneText(nIndex, "Caption", TRUE);
This is another option.
<marquee direction="up" height="30" scrolldelay="1" step="1" scrollamount="1" hspace="0" vspace="0">
--Owner Drawn
--Nothing special
--Defeat is temporary but surrender is permanent
--Never say quits

I've torn out what little hair I have on this.
I'm using VS 2005 Beta in case it makes a difference.
I create a new Dialog-based MFC App.
I put a picture control on it (CStatic with frame style).
I align a couple of scrollbars to the frame edge.
(I gave up trying to get the inherent CWnd scrollbars to work, but they behave the same.)
I try to code behind the scrollbars with calls to:
- SetScrollInfo()
- EnableScrollBar()
- ShowScrollBar()
( slightly different functions are required for the CWnd scrollbars)
The effects of SetScrollInfo() can be seen in the thumb size, and the ShowScrollBar() works as expected. But do you think I can actually get the scroll bar to do anything -- let me move the thumb, or trip my breakpoint in the OnVScroll() handler I have waiting to pounce?
I can't see the magic secret in any projects I've downloaded. Help!

What's more, in the resources, the scrollbars show in a nice Windows XP style. When the app runs, they are flat and ugly. Hmmm. If there is someone out there that can take 5 mins to do this in both VS 2005 Beta and VS 2003, and find that I'm beating my head against a bug in VS 2005 Beta, that would at least be partial relief!

The image is most certainly not going to move by itself, you need to write your OnPaint handler to show the image based on the scroll position, then call Invalidate() when a scroll event fires. You say you've got one, there's obviously a problem with it being hooked up at this point in time, if it's not fired.

What you say is all true... but has not advanced my cause 
There certainly is a hidden problem here. I've read the entire CScrollBar documentation several times, satisfied myself (e.g. by calling SetScrollPos()) that the scrollbar is just itching to be useful to me. The main problem appears to be getting any messages to or from it. There are handlers for WM_HSCROLL and WM_VSCROLL in the dialog containing the frame and scrollbars... but they simply don't respond, and nor do the scrollbars themselves. I get the sense I'm going to shoot myself when I discover how simple the answer is....

*grin* I'm sorry, without looking at the code, that's about all could offer.

I have vs2005 final, and I created an MFC app, added a scroll bar and a message handler, and it fired fine. Why don't you create a new app that just does those things and see if it works ?

Is it just me, or do you consider code like the following to be somewhat overkill or wasteful for testing for an empty string...
if( 0 == stricmp(szString, "") ){
or
if( 0 == strlen(szString) ){
when I think it is sufficient to merely do this:
if( !szString[0] ){
What are some of your opinions on this matter?
|

I usually do the second one (strlen). To me it is more obvious that I am checking to see if the length of the string is zero. The last method will save you a couple CPU cycles, but it is not as obvious what you are doing IMO.

Thanks for your reply.
I agree, the strlen could be a performance hit, but more understandable.
|
|
|
|

even if the 3 ones give the same result, it depends if lisibility is more important than performance...
i prefer using strlen() == 0 because the one who read back my code directly understand what i do there...
anyway, PJ Arends' answer is very good too  ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

This one's better if and only if you wrap it inside a function called
BOOL IsEmpty(char *str)
{
return !str[0];
}
Hey the function name can change 
<marquee direction="up" height="30" scrolldelay="1" step="1" scrollamount="1" hspace="0" vspace="0">
--Owner Drawn
--Nothing special
--Defeat is temporary but surrender is permanent

I would just cut the string into 1 foot sements so I can easily see both ends. If there is nothing on either end, and no clothespins are clipped in the middle it's an empty see style string.

Hey,
how can I manage to print the content of a CRichEditCtrl or a CString containing a rtf-text to an pDC (screen or printer).
Thank you for helping me...
|
|
|
|
|
pDC->DrawText will simply paint normal text on the screen but since you are using rtf-text which means that there can be a lot of things in it, therefore, you have to parse the text first somehow and then paint the things one-by-one. I am sure there will be some libraries which do this. Search here on codeproject.
Regards,
Aamir

Hello,
I have a dialog app with a menu that allows the user to bring up different windows as they wish. I remember seeing a tutorial/article that had an easy way of placing a check mark next to the menu option that was already selected. (Essentially having the window being displayed already)
Can someone point me to this article.
Currently I am using this code that I had copied way back when(It dies on the first line, even though it works on my older app):
void CMyDialog::CheckMenu(int checked) <br />
{<br />
CMenu* pMainMenu = GetParent()->GetMenu();<br />
<br />
CMenu* pSubmenu = pMainMenu->GetSubMenu(2);<br />
<br />
UINT g = pSubmenu->GetMenuItemID(1); <br />
<br />
CString mnustr;<br />
<br />
pSubmenu->GetMenuString(1, mnustr, MF_BYPOSITION); <br />
<br />
<br />
if (checked) <br />
pSubmenu->ModifyMenu(1, MF_BYPOSITION | MF_STRING | MF_CHECKED, g, mnustr);<br />
else <br />
pSubmenu->ModifyMenu(1, MF_BYPOSITION | MF_STRING | MF_DISABLED, g, mnustr);<br />
}
Thanks!

What does GetParent returns ?
is your application a normal MDI/SDI application ? or is it dialog based ?
If it's the former, you will need to add a handler for the ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI and do something like
void CMainFrame::OnMyHandle( CCmdUI* pCmdUI )
{
pCmdUI->SetCheck( checked );
}

GetParent throws the error "unhandle exception. Access violation"
This is a dialog based app. The code that I am currently using is from a MDI app that I just called the method with no problems.
Thanks for your help
