Please forgive my novity,

I am trying to add buttons to my mfc application. However they show up very basic (old style buttons "as rectangles with straight edges"). I have seen some examples where the buttons are similar to the windows buttons (rounded rectangles). I have tried to change the appearance of the buttons using their properties but I miserably failed Frown | :-(

How can i do that ? Thank you

Add the manifest file to your project resources to get XP style round edged buttons, provided you are using XP.

Another option is to ownerdraw these buttons.

You can create the object of the CBitmapButton
The button style must be ownerdraw,
load the bitmap and see the fun

code snapets

CBitmapButton m_fun;
m_fun.Create(...); //write appropriate parameters
m_fun.LoadBitmaps(IDB_FUN);
m_fun.SizeToContent();

Hi You can try creating the rounded regions.
Create rounded region use CreateRoundRectRgn and for setting it use SetWindowRgn

thanx for your suggestions guys Smile | :)

,

As i really dont know which approach to follow, i will need a little guidance from you.

I have tried to create this manifest file, so i read through: *** Click Me *** but i just couldnt find the tab *Manifest File* in the project Property Pages. (I am using visual studio 2003). Does it mean i have to create it manually ??

To the important question now, does this approach impose any downsides ??? or is it better to use the other suggested approaches ??? Unsure | :~

Thanx to all of you

Dear all;

I have found a cool article which explains adding a manifest file to get windowsxp themes *** Add Windows XP Theme Style to your current projects ***

Does anyone know the downsides of this approach apart from running under windowsxp systems only ??? D'Oh! | :doh:

thanx

Rational Rose Technical Developer[^] will do this for you.

It's been on the market for nearly a decade starting out with the Booch method and since 2004 supports UML 2.0.

You can do it in Microsoft Visio.

The version that I am using is Microsoft Visio Enterprise Architects (10.0.2705).
In this version follow the below to do it:
1) Click UML menu item in the main menu
2) Select 'Code', click 'Generate'

Use the regasm .net framework tool to register the assembly into registry and then u can use it as a com component. more details is there at http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/COM_Interoperability.asp[^]

To ues the tlb file form ur mfc app eihter u can use the #import method or else an alternative is to use the COleDispatchDriver wrapper method.

After you started the process you should reset the hover image of the button!

if you mean that you want to change the bitmap of the button then add the followig code:-

myButton.SetBitmap( ::LoadBitmap(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(OBM_CHECK)) );<br />
else<br />
if you want to change the color then handle the WM_ERASEBKGND().

No,

I have four images normal mouse over, mouse click and when the mouse is clicked and released. So when i derive the button variables from CHoverButton the class which has been posted on CodeProject the images are set properly. But when the mouse is clicked and reelased I want tos et the White image having the Icon on it. But in our class the when mouse is moved agai the image is changed. So when I click on one of the button only that button image should be different and mouse over should be supported for other two buttons

ListBox

Pls. could anyone help on this:

VC++ 6.0 SP6

I have a list box that can hold 12 lines of strings w/o scrolling. I want
it to scroll up when more strings are added. It scrolls up, but the 13th
through Total items are displayed as line 12. When the loop is done, the
list box refreshes and shows all the correct items. How do I get the 13+
items to show correctly when scrolling? When I step through the debugger,
the string I am adding is correct, but the display isn't.

CListBox *pList;
pList = static_cast<clistbox*>(GetDlgItem (IDC_LIST1));

for(x=1; x<y; x++)
{
...="" lines="" where="" the="" string="" 'sdothis'="" is="" created
plist-="">InsertString (-1, sDoThis);
pList->ScrollWindow (0, -12, NULL, NULL);
pList->UpdateWindow ();
}
