Hi, Ive made a tab group using a property sheet with property pages. The problem is that when I display the tabgroup/propertysheet, I use the DoModal() command which makes it open in a new dialog box.
I was wondering if it is possible to embed my propertysheet into the main view so that I can have other stuff around it? I dont want it opening in separate dialog box with only the tab group.
Any help will be appreciated.

You'll need to use a modeless property sheet.
Then you can use the property sheet as a client/child window.
Use Create() instead of DoModal().

Thanks Mark. I have never used a modeless property sheet but I'll figure it out. I'l post back if i still cant pull it off. Thanks again.

Hi all,
I faced with an intresting event about GetActiveWindow() method. When I call the code blok below by clicking to a button, I can see the messagebox as "asdasd". But when I call the code blok in a worker thread I cannot see the messagebox.
CWnd *wnd;
wnd = GetActiveWindow();
if(pDlgb == wnd)
MessageBox(_T("asdasd"));
What is the reason for that? Is there any body who can give me an advice about getting the active window in a worker thread?
Thanks,
ibrahim

Because MFC keeps internal table(s) of (CWnd) windows on a per-thread-basis.
Therefore , the CWnd returned by GetActiveWindow() on a different thread can't possibly
be the same pointer as your pDlgb. It will be a temporary CWnd object also attached to your dialog's
HWND (assuming that window is actually the active window).
Compare the HWNDs instead
if(pDlgb->GetSafeHwnd() == wnd->GetSafeHwnd())

It's a little more complicated than that, although it’s true that MFC's handle maps are thread specific. Here’s how MFC implements CWnd::GetActiveWindow:
_AFXWIN_INLINE CWnd* PASCAL CWnd::GetActiveWindow()
{ return CWnd::FromHandle(::GetActiveWindow()); }
Now the following is from MSDN on the ::GetActiveWindow[^] function:
The GetActiveWindow function retrieves the window handle to the active window attached to the calling thread's message queue.
So ::GetActiveWindow is also thread specific, although you could use the AttachThreadInput[^] to get around this.

I'm using VS2008 for a MFC application and I'm having some problems
setting text and background color for a Group-box control.
In previous versions of Visual Studio the following code was working:
HBRUSH CMyPrjView::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH l_hBrush = CWnd::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
int l_iCtrlId;
l_iCtrlId = pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID();
switch(l_iCtrlId)
{
case IDC_STC_GRPBOX_1:
case IDC_STC_GRPBOX_2:
pDC->SetTextColor(RED_COLOR);
pDC->SetBkColor(BLACK_COLOR);
break;
default:
break;
}
return m_cbrshBlack;
}
Now, in VS2008 it doesn't work. I can change all other controls
colors but not for group-box controls. What is changed ?
Is there some properties of the group-box control to be set ?
Or have I to do other things in OnCtlColor ?
Thanks a lot !

Are the SetTextColor() and SetBkColor() methods getting called?

Yes, (look at my code in previous message) but it doesn't work!

I did look at your code, that's why I asked that question. I saw nothing that indicated those two statements were being executed. Saying that something "does not work" could mean that it executed but produced the wrong result, or that it failed to execute altogether.

I got your point....
but I've applied a breakpoint for that calls...
I've already verified that are called without any bad results.

So do it in the sheet's OnInitDialog() method.

CFileDialog f(FALSE,NULL,NULL,OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT,"Image Files(*.jpg)|*.jpg|Bitmaps(*.bmp)|*.bmp");
if(f.DoModal()==IDOK)
ShellExecute(NULL, _T("save"), f.GetFileName(), NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
How to modify this code to save an image?

CopyFile(/*params*/)
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Assuming you have the data that represents the image, call CreateFile() followed by one or more calls to WriteFile().

And just giving you a wad of code is going to change that? Read here instead.

Thanks in Advance

Depends on the flags that are specified. For e.g. AW_BLEND can be used only with top level windows. Also AnimateWindow needs WM_PRINT, WM_PRINTCLIENT to be properly implemented.
Read the docs for more information.

I have the following code in my applications InitInstance.
CLoginNConfigDlg is the class of a dialog.
CLoginNConfigDlg clncdLoginNConfig;
m_pMainWnd = &clncdLoginNConfig;
HWND hand = clncdLoginNConfig.m_hWnd;
I am not able to get the value of handle in 'hand'.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance

That is because there is no window created yet. A Dialog is created only when you call DoModal (for a modal dialog ofcourse). Try calling this in OnInitDialog member of the dialog class.
