You are absolutely right! Never thought I'd need that after FindNext returned FALSE!

Thank you very much.

Add Scroll bar to a Static control-(pls reply)

I Created a dynamic Static control using CStatic.So i need to draw controls inside the Static control.
The problem is adding a Scrollbar , enable and using it.
CStatic temp = new CStatic();
temp ->Create(NULL, SS_GRAYFRAME |WS_VSCROLL| SS_REALSIZECONTROL , rect, parent);

So because of using WS_VSCROLL the Scroll was there but i dont know how to enable and use it.So please tell me how to do it or tell me a good web site about that.

Why don't you declare it directly as a scrollbar?

CScrollBar *temp = new CScrollBar;
temp->Create (NULL,.......);

In that case you would have all the normal scrollbar's access.

Handle WM_KEYDOWN event and check if the user presses the F1 key
if(nChar==VK_F1)
// Do something
else
// Do something else

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

You ~~have to~~ can override the CWnd::PreTraslateMessage method, see

why OnKeyDown & OnKeyUp different when they meet "Enter"?

I was writing a control "CColorEdit" which is derived from CEdit. I have override its OnKeyUp() and OnKeyDown. When I pressed the key "Enter", the OnKeyDown was invoked, but OnKeyUp wasn't invoked. I feel very confused. Does anyone have ever occured this kind of think.
Waiting for answer.

Best Regards.

For sure you have put the messagebox code in OnKeyDown. Since the messagebox pops up in OnKeyDown, the focus is gained by the messagebox, so the OnKeyUp will not be handled on the edit box. I tested myself without the messagebox, and for me both keydown and keyup are working fine on a derived class of CEdit.

I think my code is OK. But it still doesn't work.

void CTestEdit::OnKeyDown(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
if ( nChar == 13 )
{
//MessageBox("Down");
SetWindowText( "Bye Bye Bye" );
}

CEdit::OnKeyDown(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);
}

I got the point.

==> You must have "Multiline" and "WantReturn" properties set on this edit box.

As I observed while testing, the following is true.

--> If you set just the "Multiline" then only keydown gets fired and not the keyup.
--> If you set just the wantreturn and not the Multiline then only keyup gets fired and not keydown.

thats it.

To load a bitmap from a file you can use LoadImage function (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms648045.aspx[^])

for instance:

HANDLE hBitmap = LoadImage(NULL, filepath, IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE);

where filepath is a string containing the path of your bitmap file.

Note, you have to call DeleteObject(hBitmap) to perform cleanup when you've finished with the image.

Do you mean toolbar?
If it's toolbar, you can do accroding to the following step.
1)create a toolbar resource "Insert->toolbar"
2)add a member
CToolBar m_wndToolBar;
3)add the following code in your OnInitDialog()
if (!m_wndToolBar.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_FLAT, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_TOP
| CBRS_GRIPPER | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC) ||
!m_wndToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR1))
{
TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");
return -1; // fail to create
}
m_wndToolBar.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
RepositionBars(AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_FIRST, AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_LAST, 0);

I hope it will works.;P

Hi,
I usually derive it from CDialog and rename the CDialog to CDialogBar
and
if you need you can simplify the create() function with

 BOOL CYourDlgBar::Create(CWnd* pParentWnd, UINT nStyle)<br />
{<br />
    return CDialogBar::Create(pParentWnd, IDD, nStyle, IDD);<br />
}<br />

And on your frame window create, dock your dialog bar

 m_yourDlgBarObj.Create(this, //frame instance<br />
		WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_CHILD |WS_VISIBLE | //style<br />
		CBRS_BOTTOM|CBRS_TOOLTIPS);<br />
<br />
m_yourDlgBarObj.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_BOTTOM | CBRS_ALIGN_TOP);<br />
DockControlBar(&m_yourDlgBarObj);<br />

It is the property of MFC,
MFC disables controls if the handlers is not available
override OnUpdateCmdUI() this will enable all.
But MFC wants handlers for each control

Now you have your CYourDlgBarClass,
using class wizard add the override OnUpdateCmdUI(), that's all, this will add

virtual void OnUpdateCmdUI(<br />
       IN CFrameWnd* pTarget, <br />
       IN BOOL bDisableIfNoHandler<br />
       );

in your declaration
and

<br />
void <br />
CYourDlgBarClass::OnUpdateCmdUI(<br />
	IN CFrameWnd* /*pTarget*/, <br />
	IN BOOL /*bDisableIfNoHandler*/<br />
	)<br />
{<br />
	// TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class<br />
}<br />

in your implementation
if class wizard found to be not helpful, simply code manually,

this is enough to enable.

for enabling individual controls ,
use
ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(id /* control id*/, memberFxn ) in the message map.
