Custom message in ClassWizzard

9-Jul-03 4:00

So the primary thread, which owns the comboboxes, spawned a secondary thread.. Is that right? Does the secondary thread try to populate the comboboxes (if so, the secondary thread will need a message pump), or does it post a message back to the primary thread (if so, remember to use PostMessage() and not SendMessage())?

To eliminate the secondary thread as a culprit, comment out the code that creates it, and have the primary thread populate the comboboxes. If the problem persists, you know the secondary thread is not to blame.

Hi!
I have designed a custom control (a real-time chart) and I want to associated a function handler (in the class of the window wich uses the chart) when the user clicks on the legend. So, in the class of the custom control, I added a handler for the WM_LBUTTONDOWN message and I check there if the mouse is on the legend.
If yes, I send a message to the parent window but I want this custom message appear in the ClassWizzard (like for example: OnLegendClick).
Is such a thing possible and how to implement it ??

Thanks

Easy question on DHTML Editing control

Hi!
I am using the DHTML editng control to make a WYSIWYG application.
Well my problem is that I don't know how to insert some HTML tags into the code.
The dhtml editing control gives you some functions for fonts, style,alignement,etc... but the user may need to add tables too.
I want to put a button which will open a table configuration dialog... the dialog will put all the values in a string... ( I can do it until here) and it will put the generated html tags into the html code...
Can anyone help me? Confused | :confused:

Thank you very much for your future answers!

Well... I am a beginner ...

Why must they uninstall the whole application just to get an updated EXE? Just have them shut down the application prior to running the setup program.

Initialize a List Box

Hi,

Still trying to get used to programming, and still need a little help. I asked a few questions yesterday about a texteditor, but since have changed my approach.

I wanted to know how to initialize a List Box to have text in it everytime the dialog starts up. Is this possible? If it is, is there a way to space out the text that I want to appear? I want it to look like this if possible:

Team1     Team 2    Team 3    Team 4

Thanks in advance!

Silly me....I got the text to come up.;P

Can anyone help with the formatting though?

Thanks again

what do you mean by 'formatting?' if youre trying to get strings into a listbox, you can use

My_List_Box.AddString("hello");

if you mean turning off alphabetical sorting of the contents of the listbox, in the resource editor, witht he listbox selected, look in the properties window and set the 'Sort' value to False (or off, depending).

is that what you mean?

How you want the data formatted will govern whether you want/need to use a list box, list control, or a grid control.

Although it's possible to make a list box look like it has columns, it remains a one-column control that uses tab stops to separate the columns.

Sorry for not being clear...

I would like to have the words spaced out in the line of text. Just so that it is easier to read. I want it so that I do not have to manually hit the space bar between the words that i am gonna enter. Some of the information going on the lines are spaced further in that another like in the chart below.

Ideally I want my dialog box to look exactly like this:

           Team 1      Team 2      Team 3      Team 4
Game 1       80          69
Game 2                               79          70
Game 3       55                      73 
Game 4                   73                      82

Player #22 from Team 3 is the MVP of the tournament.  
He lead the team in points, rebounds, assists and steals.  
He also led the tournament in points (33.2), assists (8.9), and steals (3.2)

I thought about using a list control, but i couldn't get the last 3 sentences to appear across the columns.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

Use an edit control with a fixed-space font.

Jay Hova9-Jul-03 6:31

Hi,

I am really new to programming, and do not fully understand how to do this. (The fix spaced font)
Can you possible give more details on how to do this? Will this get my "table" to look exactly how i want it?

Thanks again. Sorry for being slow with this. Mechanical Engineers are not the best programmers! Poke tongue | ;-P

Just as an example, if you had a dialog box with an edit control, you could put the following in the dialog's OnInitDialog() method:

m_font.CreateStockObject(ANSI_FIXED_FONT);<br />
m_edit.SetFont(&m_font);

Now you just format each line that is added to the edit control.

Use CListCtrl instead of CListBox. With the List Control, you can create columns. In your case, you need to create 4 columns and add the data to each column individually...
