Create an imagelist (CImageList).
Add icons to the imagelist.
Attach it to the listctrl.
While inserting items pass the index of the icon in the imagelist to the insert function.

inplace edit of doc title

I need something similar to MSWord's "Type Your Title Here" or "[Type the document title]" thing in the view, so that the user can do in-place editing of the doc's title. How to start on this?

Please suggest.

Thanks
Ronnie.

This is still at start Smile | :)

I have this idea..
I will draw the text "Type Title Here" at the top of doc.
When user clicks on this text I will show a rectangle surrounding the text and a cursor at that position.
User types the title, I'll accept the input character by character and display it. As soon as the user clicks outside the rectangle I will hide the rectangle.

Should I go on with this? or
Have a better idea?

Please suggest.

Thanks
Ron

ShellExecute with new instance

Hi All,

I am trying to open a web page using the following code.

ShellExecute(this->m_hWnd, _T("open"), _T("www.xyz.com"), NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

It works well.
Consider,
Default browser is Mozilla Firefox.
An instance of the Mozilla Firefox is running with some tabs open in it.

The above code will open a new tab (www.xyz.com) in the existing instance.

Now what i want is to open my web page with new instance.

Thanks & Regards,
K. Sushilkumar.

You will have to retrieve the path to the default browser and directly execute it, passing in the URL as a parameter.

ShellExecute(this->m_hWnd, _T("open"), pathToBrowser, _T("www.xyz.com"), NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

Hi,

This ShellExecute documentation[^] states:

If the default Web browser currently runs, ShellExecute tells the instance that runs to go to your Uniform Resource Locator (URL). If it is not running, ShellExecute starts the application and then browses to your URL.

Looks like the default behavior. You may need to use CreateProcess[^] instead.

Best Wishes,

Firefox decides (depending on the options you select in Firefox) where a URL should be opened. Your program has no way of altering that.

Redrawing..

// Verify the left button is down
	if ((nFlags & MK_LBUTTON) && (this == GetCapture()))
	{
		m_SecondPoint = point;				// Save the current cursor position

		if (m_pTempElement)
		{
			// Redraw the old element so it disappears from the view
			m_pTempElement->Draw(&aDC);
			delete m_pTempElement;				// Delete the old element
			m_pTempElement = 0;				// Reset the pointer to 0
		}

		// Create a temporary element of the type and color that
		// is recorded in the document object and draw it
		m_pTempElement = CreateElement();			// Create a new element
		m_pTempElement->Draw(&aDC);					// Draw the element
	}

This is a code of a message handler in a drawing application which now supports drawing lines, rectangles and circles.

We save the first cursor position in the Mouse button down handler

The CreateElement() creates an element (rectangle, circle, line, curve) on the heap and returns a pointer to it.

I don't understand why do we need to redraw the old element. Like I created an element and then a mouse move occurs then why do we draw it two times? First, in the inner if block and second, after the if block.

It is drawing over the previously drawn element in the inner if block right?

Looks like the Draw method is using an XOR pen, which is a common method for drawing shapes. An XOR operation is similar to inverting the colours, so by drawing it the second time, you effectively erase the old shape before drawing the shape at the new position.

Displaying painted areas on Property Sheet

I have a property page with a static control area defined as

CONTROL "",IDC_TEMP_GRPH,"Static",SS_GRAYFRAME,154,44,135,129

I am handling WM_PAINT message and the following piece of code gets executed:

CDC* pDC = new CDC(GetDC(this->m_hWnd));
HWND hStatic = GetDlgItem(m_hWnd,IDC_TEMP_GRPH);
RECT pirect;
GetClientRect(hStatic,&pirect);
COLORREF bkColor; bkColor = RGB(225,0,0);
HBRUSH hBrush = ::CreateSolidBrush(bkColor);
::FillRect(GetDC(hStatic),&pirect,hBrush);

The problem is I am not able to see this solid color block. It appears blinking while I drag the Property Sheet but disappears when I switch to next page and switch back to that page. Can anyone please tell me what is missing here?

Rather than painting from your dialog, try over-riding the static control.

Have a look at this article:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/generic_picker.aspx[^]

It's not talked about in the article itself, but it uses an owner draw static control to do the pretty picture bit. Feel free to ~~steal~~reuse it from me.

Thanks. But I foound out what was missing from my code. I had to add

PAINTSTRUCT ps;
HDC hdc = ::BeginPaint(m_hWnd, &ps);

at the start and

::EndPaint(m_hWnd, &ps);

at end of my code snippet and it works.
