Re: How to implement Tab order to the controls in a MFC Dialog box

This is my modified compilable code but tab order is not working as GRPBox -> Edit 1 -> Edit 2 -> Edit 3 -> OK -> CANCEL.

It is still working as GRPBox -> OK -> CANCEL.

#define ID_CURRENT_SN_EDIT  1003

m_gbGroupBox = (CStatic*)GetDlgItem(IDC_GROUPBOX);
m_gbGroupBox->ModifyStyleEx( 0, WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT);

m_btnOK      = (CButton*)GetDlgItem(IDC_OK);
m_btnCancel  = (CButton*)GetDlgItem(IDC_CANCEL);

int pointY = 0;
int i = 0;

for (int x = 0; x < m_vecpData->size(); x++, i++)
{
  pointY = 30 + (i * 35);
  m_ceEdit = new CEdit;
  m_ceEdit->Create(WS_VISIBLE| WS_BORDER |ES_READONLY, CRect(10, pointY, 130, pointY + 25), m_gbGroupBox, ID_CURRENT_SN_EDIT + i);
  m_ceEdit>SetWindowText(m_vecpData->at(x).c_str());
  int nCtlrID = ID_CURRENT_SN_EDIT + i;

  if (x > 0)
  {
    CEdit* pEdit = (CEdit*)GetDlgItem(nCtlrID - 1);
    m_ceEdit->SetWindowPos(pEdit, 10, pointY, 130, pointY + 25, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOACTIVATE );
  }
  m_ceEdit->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL);
}

Any Help or Suggestion!! I do not know what to do now.

Well, you missed WS_TABSTOP style.

And the following is not needed...

Hey Ami,

Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestion. It is working now. great :) !!!

Now my another task is:

There is one Static GRPbox which has been created in CFormView by using ToolBox. Now in Static Groupbox, I am creating "n" number of dynamic GrpBox. In Dynamic GrpBox, I am creating dynamic Edit Box (few are READ ONLY too).

Now I have to set taborder for that also. Any suggestion on this.?

Regards,
Anshul

I believe that, since you could understand your first solution well, you can implement this easily. Smile | :)

Or, are you in any trouble with that?

Well, In first round it is working but once it comes to OK or CANCEL button is not going back to edit box.

I am trying for that...

I will post code after few minutes or if you do have idea of why is it not coming back to edit box, you can let me know..

how to get the full length of the string that contains 0's inbetween.
I tried _tcslen() on the LPCTSTR, but it gives the string len till the first occurrence of a 0.

TIA

But in that case, how will you find the end of the string?

Are you talking about a 0 or a NULL present in your string.
If it's a 0, it shouldn't be a problem.

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

you may try this :

CString strTemp;
---
--
--
// if you need length of string
strTemp.GetLength ();

In this case how do you know the end of string?

In this manner, normally the last string will be ending with two consecutive nulls (0s). Is your string so?

You gotta set "Right To Left" attribute for any edit box you wanna use Arabic in it. Don't confuse with "Right Align"! Wink | ;)

I am not confused with Right Alignment. What is confusing and not clear is the misplacement of the closing brackets.

can you give me a way how can i use?

Naveen29-Jan-09 18:30

29-Jan-09 18:30

Which version of visual studio are you using. In vc6 follow this method.

open your dialog->Right click->Take properties->Take more styles tab->Uncheck the "Visible button".

Davitor29-Jan-09 18:43

29-Jan-09 18:43

Thanks for idia.

But problem is that it's always in hide mode but i want to show when application run through commandline then it is in hidden mode and when user click on double click then it's show normal.
Plz help me

Naveen29-Jan-09 18:52

As per the code you posted, if the command line is 'h', then only you will call dlg.RunModalLoop() other wise DoModal() is called. isnt it?

In case of DoModal, the WS_VISIBLE style of the dialog has no effect. That means, your dialog will show correctly. While double click plese check, DoModal() or RunModalLoop() is called.
