child frame fills main frame?

LeeeNN26-Jan-06 7:52

26-Jan-06 7:52

In MDI project. I want my child frame fill main frame window. So I inplement this in

BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
// TODO: Modify the Window class or styles here by modifying the CREATESTRUCT cs
CWnd* pwnd = AfxGetMainWnd();
CRect rect;
pwnd->GetClientRect( &rect );

cs.cx = rect.Width(); cs.cy = rect.Height();

if( !CMDIChildWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
return FALSE;

return TRUE;
}

It's very close to success. But look closely, you will find a bit off. main frame overlapped child frame a little bit. I think that is because of edge of main frame window. But I am getting client area, it should not include edge right? any one can explain?

Use CSplitterWnd::DeleteView() for this.

Hey,

I have form derived from CFormView. On the form I placed a tabcontrol. Now I want to paint a line on the tabcontrol (in my CFormView::OnPaint) and not in the tabcontrol (derived) class!

My problem is that the tab overwrites my graphic... Is there any solution?

Does anyone know the default location to..

install a service on a host OS such as Win2K or XP? I mean the binary executable file. Should it go into the System32 directory? I see that under System32 there is a Drivers sub-dir but nothing for services.

I realize that I can deliver the service with my runtime deliverables and place it into my runtime directory but prefer not to since I may want to leave the service even though my program has been uninstalled or deleted accidentally.

Clarification: I have a program that I will be installing in addition to the service (a RFC-868 Time Server) I will be installing. When my program is uninstalled or the directory is accidentally deleted, I still want my service to run and am looking for the (Windows) conventional directory location that it should be stored in.

Roaming profile

Hi I need to determine, if possible using VC++, the size and date information relating to the current logged in user's profile.

I can get who is logged in, their Domain and SID value, but struggling to find how to find out details as to if the user's profile is roaming, local etc and then the size/quota, date etc information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Can you use LoadUserProfile() for this?

In what context are you looking for? You might be able to get quota information, although it is not profile related, from here.

Problem in showing the dialog form in different desktop created using CreateDesktop()?

Amarelia26-Jan-06 2:00

Hi Friends

Yesterday also I have posted the same question but I didn't get any reply. Frown | :(

I have my dialog based application which shows one form and it contains one button. When I press the button I create new desktop and then use switch to the new desktop. Now I want to show one more dialog form in this newly created desktop. But I am unable to do it. is there a way to do same?

Or is there a way to give parent window or attaching it to other desktop?

I am pating my little code here so that you can have exact idea what I am doing.

//My CPP file
HDESK hOriginalThread;
HDESK hOriginalInput;
HDESK hNewDesktop;

// Save original ...
hOriginalThread = GetThreadDesktop(GetCurrentThreadId());
hOriginalInput = OpenInputDesktop(0, FALSE, DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP);

// Create a new Desktop and switch to it
hNewDesktop = CreateDesktop("MYDesktop", NULL, NULL, 0, GENERIC_ALL, NULL);
SetThreadDesktop(hNewDesktop);
SwitchDesktop(hNewDesktop);

// Here I want to show my new dialog form
CMyDlg objDlg;
objDlg.DoModal(); or objDlg.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
// Restore original ...
SwitchDesktop(hOriginalInput);
SetThreadDesktop(hOriginalThread);

// Close the Desktop
CloseDesktop(hNewDesktop);

return 0;

Any idea how to achieve...

Regards

Mahesh

Hi,

I had a look to your problem yesterday, but could not find any satisfying answer to it. Frown | :(

Some questions:

Amarelia wrote:
CMyDlg objDlg;
objDlg.DoModal(); or objDlg.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

Is CMyDlg your main dialog ? Do you want to create another instance of your main dialog in the new desktop ? or is it an instance of another child dialog ?

Other question : Do all SomehtingDesktop() functions you use in the provided code snippet return TRUE ?

Hi Rage

First of all my heart felt thankx that you give some time to look into my question.

No CMyDlg is not my main dialog. It's another dialog whose any instance is yet not created. You can say it's another child dialog. Even if it's possible to show another instance of the same dialog in other desktop then also I will be little bit happy.

Yes my all SomethingDesktop functions execute perfectly and give TRUE value.

Anything else you want to know...I'll be glad to answer u'r questions...

Hope to see some positive answers

Mahesh

Hi,

I never used different desktops, but why not try ... Wink | ;)

I've paste youre code into a test project and used the CAabout to show in the other desktop.

Dead | X|

could used a warning that everithing would hang. Poke tongue | ;-P

In my case the function SetThreadDesktop(hNewDesktop); fails giving me an
error code 170: meaning, requested rescource is busy.

When continueing the function SwitchDesktop(hNewDesktop); works switching the desktop.
But the main thread is still located running at the original desktop.

Sorry Sigh | :sigh:

, don't know anything else to test. Will test some more

DDX and DDV for dynamic CEdit

JohnMFC26-Jan-06 1:21

JohnMFC

26-Jan-06 1:21

Hi, i would like to ask, if there is a way to add this controls for dynamically added CEDit.

i make do for example this :

my_CEdit = new CEdit();
DWORD dwStyle = WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE|WS_TABSTOP | ES_AUTOHSCROLL;
CRect rect(380,201,445,224);
my_CEdit->CreateEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,_T("EDIT"),"Test",dwStyle,rect,this,0,0);

But i don't know what how to apply DDV and DDX to this CEdit in DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX) method.

I do not think this is possible, but I am not 100% positive about that. What do you want to achieve exactely ? Trap messages for a dynamically created CEdit ?

Re: DDX and DDV for dynamic CEdit

Blake Miller26-Jan-06 10:42

You have to emulate what the DDX and DDV do in yur own code within the DoDataExchange function.
First, examine the pDX->m_bSaveAndValidate

To handle the 'ddx' part of your control, you could do something like this in code:

To properly handl the DDV, you should give your edit control an identifier.

my_CEdit->CreateEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,_T("EDIT"),"Test",dwStyle,rect,this,MY_EDIT_IDENTIFIER,0);

// transfer data to or from control and member variable
if( m_bSaveAndValidate ){
CString csTemp;
// prepare data exchange in case of abort
pDX->PrepareEditCtrl(MY_EDIT_IDENTIFIER);
my_CEdit->GetWindowText(csTemp);
// do some validation on the contents of the string
if( contents of string are 'bad' ){
// abort if it is bad data
pDX->Fail();
} else {
// data was good, so transfer to member variable
m_MyStringVariable = csTemp;
}
} else {
// transfer from member variable to control
my_CEdit->SetWindowText(m_MyStringVariable);
}

Okay so I winged this one, if there are syntax errors, fix them yourself Wink | ;)
