Hi,

I have a CFramewnd from which I create CDialog modeless flavor..

In the CDialog one of the controls is a CRicheditctrl which I populate with data

My problem the data from the Cricheditctrl is never displayed

The Dialog remains Solid Gray which is the same Background Color as the CFrameWnd Background

It just occurred to me the when I get OnPaint Notfication for the CFrameWnd I probably paint the Cdialog

Which lies at the Upper Left hand corner of the CFameWnd

However When I hit a breakpoint on the CDialog::Create I also set a BreakPoint on the OnPaint notfication handler

it never gets executed

When I change the Background color of the CFrameWnd to Red the CDialog displayes as Red Too...

Any Ideas ???

thankx

Check to see if you have called the AfxInitRichEdit[^] function before displaying the dialog.
If not, call the function in the InitInstance override of your CWinApp derived class.

Have that

Funny thing I have a Modal dialog Box with 2 single line edit controls which displays properly

I am thinking of coding my own Create for the CFrameWnd with the "WS_CLIPCHILDREN" style

I am thinking this would go CFrameWnd contructer...

Localizing MFC standard strings

Hi!

I've a problem localizing MFC error messages. Currently, I need to change AFX_IDP_PARSE_INT_RANGE which is used in DDV_MinMaxInt to display error message when int value is out of range.
I added the string to the string table of my application, but it doesn't seems to change the error message in MessageBox. Rebuilding doesn't help.

I've checked the code, an in MyProject.rc MFC wizard added:

STRINGTABLE
BEGIN
AFX_IDP_PARSE_INT_RANGE "Значение может быть от %s до %s"
END

And, as I said earlier, the MFC dialog is shown with english (default) version of this string.

Please help me with this problem,
I need to release the project tomorrow morning!

Thank you,
Andrey Yanov

Finished drawing dialog

Hi I want to make a loading message box which disappears once the loading was finished.
In order to do that I decided to use the function DialogBox in order to create a modal dialog, however, I couldn't find a message that indicates that dialog has finished drawing itself.
I want to start the loading sequence right after the dialog and the message of "loading" appears on the dialog.

Any suggestions ?

I would like to use a dialog in order to easily make a nice loading message.

Thanks a lot,
Clint

In wich ambient you are doing this? MFC?

In that case you can take OnInitDialog event or.. WM_INITDIALOG

clint198211-Oct-09 9:57

11-Oct-09 9:57

I tried WM_INITDIALOG, but it happens before the dialog has finished drawing itself, so the message doesn't appear.

Try WM_PAINT event

Also WM_PAINT is not good, it happens during the drawing of every control.

filter CListCtrl with the extension of files

11-Oct-09 9:47

Hi all... how i can convert a Property name to a PROPERTYKEY structure (FMTID/PID) by the name?

Example:
From Registry i take: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\InfoTip

than in my case, the result is: "prop:DocTitle;Type;Size;FileVersion;FileTitle;ProgramDescription"

I have written a function to get sequentially property by property... so i have:
DocTitle
Type
Size
FileVersion
FileTitle
ProgramDescription

I want to translate the correspondent PROPERTYKEY structure (FMTID/PID) or otherwise translate this string to the correspondent replacement as Windows Explorer do.

Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I need to know (source code will be more helpful) how can i filter a list of files which will be displayed in files explorer (like windows explorer) with its extension.
For example when i click on desktop (in tree control in the left) the list of files (ONLY a specified type of files (extension i.e doc...)will be displayed not all files in this directory).

I use :
- CTreeCtrl
- CListCtrl

My application is a SDI MFC .

I'm waiting for response, please help.

Most of the samples here and on the web are using MFC that I can't use.

You can do it with 7 lines of code in plain C/Win32 api (with undocumented (or not) native controls)
