It was SetWindowText that was calling the DrawItem, I put it outside the DrawItem method
However the Text isn't being displayed at all.
Would you have any suggestion on how to set the Text in CStatic while using the DrawItem
to change the font text color and background
Thanks

SetWindowText() sets the text and initiates drawing which must be implemented in your DrawItem function!
Example (copied & pasted, unchecked, unthemed classic method):
void CMyStatic::DrawItem(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpDrawItemStruct)
{
ASSERT(lpDrawItemStruct->CtlType == ODT_STATIC);
CDC* pDC = CDC::FromHandle(lpDrawItemStruct->hDC);
ASSERT(pDC != NULL);
pDC->FillSolidRect(&lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem, m_clrBkGnd);
CString str;
GetWindowText(str);
if (!str.IsEmpty())
{
UINT nFormat = m_nFormat;
DWORD dwStyle = GetStyle();
if (dwStyle & SS_NOPREFIX)
nFormat |= DT_NOPREFIX;
if ((dwStyle & SS_CENTERIMAGE) && str.Find(_T('\n')) < 0)
{
nFormat &= ~DT_WORDBREAK;
nFormat |= DT_VCENTER | DT_SINGLELINE;
}
if (dwStyle & SS_ELLIPSISMASK)
{
nFormat &= ~DT_EXPANDTABS;
switch (dwStyle & SS_ELLIPSISMASK)
{
case SS_ENDELLIPSIS :
nFormat |= DT_END_ELLIPSIS | DT_MODIFYSTRING; break;
case SS_PATHELLIPSIS :
nFormat |= DT_PATH_ELLIPSIS | DT_MODIFYSTRING; break;
case SS_WORDELLIPSIS :
nFormat |= DT_WORD_ELLIPSIS; break;
}
}
pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
pDC->SetTextColor(bDisabled ? ::GetSysColor(COLOR_GRAYTEXT) : m_clrText);
LPTSTR lpszText = str.GetBuffer();
pDC->DrawText(lpszText, -1, &lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem, nFormat);
str.ReleaseBuffer();
}
}

Thanks so much so anything written out to the control in DrawItem
Must be in the guise of a device context e.g DrawText or TextOut
Thanks again

Code works great
However when I inserted the following code to set a font for the text everything get messed up
CFont l_font;
LOGFONT lf;
lf.lfHeight = 12;
lf.lfWeight = 700;
strcpy(lf.lfFaceName, "Arial");
l_font.CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
CFont* l_old_font = pDC->SelectObject(&l_font);
as you can see from create the text show fit
abendlabel->Create(_T("Abend Label"),WS_CHILD | SS_OWNERDRAW | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, CRect(138, 14, 205, 31), this, IDC_ABEND_LABEL);
Thasks

I would expect undefined behaviour if you have a Unicode build.
The lfFaceName member is of type TCHAR[LF_FACESIZE] (see LOGFONT structure (Windows)[^]). So it must be
_tcscpy(lf.lfFaceName, _T("Arial"));
|
|
|
|
|
I have for "Character set" a value of "NOT SET" in that case I don't think I need the _T macro
I have re-built a test application just display this dialog box as every test took me a long time
to set up each test
I going to try lf.Height either 0 or neg and see if it formats it better
thanks for all your help

There is another error in your code. You have to initialise all members of your LOGFONT structure; usually by clearing them all before setting specific members:
memset(&lf, 0, sizeof(lf));

thanks
lfHeight
Value
Meaning
> 0 The font mapper transforms this value into device units and matches it against the cell height of the available fonts.
0 The font mapper uses a default height value when it searches for a match.
< 0 The font mapper transforms this value into device units and matches its absolute value against the character height of the available fonts.
Not quite sure what the above means but my question is the units sepcfied on the Crect parm of CStatic:Create the same as the units for lfHeight and lfWidth so if the width of my static control
is 20 and I specify 3 for lfWidth and I have 5 characters the would = 15 units
Thanks

I'm writing a quick options dialog app, but am a little rusty with my MFC. In short, I have a list box to the left and a property sheet containing pages corresponding to the items in the list box. However, I want to hide the tab control of the property sheet and move the pages up to match the top of the list box.
Hiding the tab control is easy: CPropertySheet::GetTabControl()->ShowWindow(FALSE)
I then went down the path of grabbing the rects of things and subtracting, but I can't help but think I'm making this more complicated than it needs to be. (I did this once back in 2005, but don't have that code and can't remember what I did.)

The MSDN article has apparently been removed, but someone here has posted most of the code from it.

Ah, that's what I needed. Thank you very much.

I have pointer to myderived CStatic object call mylabel
Since Everything is derived from CObject
I thought I could code the following
dc << "Dumping my object << mylabel;
dc is a type CDumpContext and I have afxTracEnabled = TRUE and yet I don't see the contents
of mylabel in the output window
|
|
|
|
|
Can other objects be dumped? What is the value of _DEBUG? Does the following do anything different:
mylabel->Dump(afxDump);

I get text for example m_hWnd = f:\vstools the directory in VS which has some of the MFC source code like wincore.cpp Is there any tool which would dump all the contents of an object
for example m_hWnd = 0X0000456;
I am sure you or the other developer must of done this would have you maybe have an example you can point me to
thanks

As you know I only play with MFC limited but the windows api GetWindowText will return the text from a static window to a buffer.
It will be in unicode or ansi depending on app and you deal with it as required.

this is verry interesting :

i tryed to get it in c++
its a start
i been programming clasical computers for +-30 year's
i not even shure i wil understad this [ if ever ]
#include <iostream>

#include <math.h>
void rot( double & k , double & l , double r)

hl = k * s + l * c ;
k = hk ;
l = hl ;
}
const double PI = atn( 1.0 ) * 4.0 ;
class Qbit
{
public :

}
Qbit( double a , double b , double c )
{

double get_state()

}
} ;
void cnot( Qbit & control , Qbit & target )
{
if ( control.get_state() == 1.0 )

}
using namespace std ;

Well it is a bunch of strange and unused stuff and then the classical C++ greeting to the world.

I have:
unsigned foo = ~0;
and the debugger shows:
foo = 0xffffffff
So, in answer to your question, "no, I haven't".

You beat me on that.
