You should not delete dsw file. It's a workspace file containig list of projects (stored in dsp files). Delete ncb file when the IDE is making problems.

If you already deleted the dsw file, try to open the dsp file, VS should create an dsw for it - only this one. If you had other projects in the workspace, add them manually.

Disable toolbar button (easy?)

I want to get a handle to one of my toolbar buttons to disable it when its function is inappropriate. Yet, none of the CToolBar methods seem to have anything to do with disabling buttons... or am I missing something?

Seems like disabling (graying-out) a button should be easy enough, but my documentation says nothing about it. Anyone...?

Use the TB_ENABLEBUTTON message to enable/disable buttons.

Aha.

Anyone know offhand the easy way to get a handle to my mainframe's m_wndToolBar so I can send this message?

It's kept as m_wndToolbar in your CMainFrame class, however the proper way to disable buttons is to write an UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handler for that particular button's ID. That way MFC will automatically call your handler so you can disable the button (and associated menu item, if there is one).

Detecting modal loop

Ravi Bhavnani15-Sep-02 9:59

15-Sep-02 9:59

I have a dialog based app, whose main dialog (dlgMain) has 3 buttons: "Exit App" (which exits the app), "Create Modeless Dialog" which creates a modeless dialog (dlgModeless), and "Options", which displays a modal options dialog.

dlgModeless also sports an "Exit App" button. dlgModeless's handler for "Exit App" simply delegates the task to dlgMain by posting it the appropriate WM_COMMAND message.

The user performs the following actions:

Clicks "Create Modeless Dialog" in dlgMain, causing the modeless dialog to appear.
Clicks "Options" in dlgMain, causing the modal Options dialog to appear.
Clicks "Exit" in dlgModeless, causing dlgMain to exit. While exiting, dlgMain properly destroys the modeless dialog.

The problem is the modal "Options" dialog is still hanging around as an orphan window. I need to modify dlgMain's "Exit App" handler to ignore the command if a modal dialog is being displayed.

My question is, how do I detect this without using ugly booleans? I was looking for Afx.../CWnd/Win32 calls to check this, but have come up empty handed.

Thanks,

Two ways come to mind:

Make the modal dialog a member of your app or main frame class, then you can call IsWindow() to tell if the dialog is open.
Call IsWindowEnabled() on your main frame, which will return TRUE if it is disabled because the modal dlg is open.

Hi Mike,

Actually the example I gave was a simplistic version of the real problem. In reality, the main dialog can display one of numerous modal dialogs (in response to various commands). I was hoping there would be a generic way to check if a window has a descendant modal dialog in progress.

Your IsWindowEnabled() trick fits the bill poifectly! Now why didn't I think of the obvious? Blush | :O

Many thanks! Rose | [Rose]

Greetings...

I want a have Excel like flat tab in my application at the bottom of my tab control.

Can somebody suggest me a way or any article on net which tells me how to go through it.

I am not using MFC, only Win32 APIs

Thanks in advance.

I know this is MFC but the extended styles should apply for MFC and Win32 API. I'm not sure what the Excel like tabs are like but this style makes buttons out of the tabs. Is that what you're looking for?

m_pTabCtrl = new CMyTabCtrl;
CRect cltRect;
GetClientRect(&cltRect); // CRect(0,0, 370, 600)
m_pTabCtrl->Create(WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE | TCS_BUTTONS | TCS_FLATBUTTONS, cltRect, this, IDC_TAB1);
DWORD dwExtStyle = m_pTabCtrl->GetExtendedStyle();
m_pTabCtrl->SetExtendedStyle(dwExtStyle | TCS_EX_FLATSEPARATORS);
m_pTabCtrl->ShowWindow(true);
TC_ITEM TabCtrlItem;
TabCtrlItem.mask = TCIF_TEXT;
TabCtrlItem.iImage = -1;
for(i = gSites.size(); i > 0; i--)
{
 TabCtrlItem.pszText = gSites[i-1].GetId();
 m_pTabCtrl->InsertItem( 0, &TabCtrlItem );
}

m_pTabCtrl->SetCurSel(0);

MDAC contains all you need for ADO with Access 2000.

Both of them. The Jet files are not a part of MDAC from version 2.5 (or 2.6?) up.

Jet engine is a database engine for mdb files (MS Access uses it).
If you want use mdb/Access database format, you need it. If you are using other database engine (SQL Server or other) you don't need it. MFC CDao???? classes use the Jet engine.

Hello,
Try this one:

int Fractional = ((atof(Valeur) - atoi(Valeur)) * 100.0);

change 100 to 100.0

Using Dialog Box in DLL

Atlence15-Sep-02 7:36

15-Sep-02 7:36

Hi!

I've created a MFC Dll. I have exported a function which must display a dialog box. I have tried to use the CDialog class but the dialog doesn't appear.
Here a portion of my code(CreatePageDlg is the dialog class of the dialog I want to display):

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "web.h"
#include "CreatePageDlg.h"

__declspec(dllexport) void __cdecl ShowDialog(CString FileName)
{
CCreatePageDlg dlg;
dlg.DoModal ();
if (dlg.DoModal ()==IDOK)
{
}
}

What's wrong.

Thks in advance!

Have you tried debug stepping into the DoModal function, this should give you more clues to what the problem. Also the sample code provided will show the dialog twice.

Is the DLL's resource identifier range different to the applications's resource id range?

Programming is great. First they pay you to introduce bugs into software. Then they pay you to remove them again.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
