It is supported with CListBox.

With CListBox an owner-drawn list box created w/ style LBS_SORT and items are added to it w/ AddString, then CListBox::CompareItem must be overridden with a version that compares two arbitrary items packaged in COMPAREITEMSTRUCT structures.

coding the CSliderCtrl

I am a little usure of how to do this. I want a function to run after the user slides to a new position. It would be nice if it ran at every instant of the slider movement. This function ses the brightness and it would be nice to see it brightening smoothly as you slide. How to I tie my slider which is in the toolbar, to this function? It has a varaible m_slider of type control.
Thanks,

Well,(my slider is in the toolbar. I added it by Create -ing a CSliderCTRl in mainframe class)
I tried this:

void CMainFrame::OnHScroll(UINT nSBCode, UINT nPos, CScrollBar* pScrollBar)
{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default

CSliderCtrl* pSliderCtrl;

pSliderCtrl= (CSliderCtrl*)pScrollBar;

int x = pSliderCtrl->GetPos();

CString s;
s.Format("%d",x);
AfxMessageBox(s);

CMDIFrameWnd::OnHScroll(nSBCode, nPos, pScrollBar);
}

I only have one slider m_slider, which I didnt know how to put into the above code.

When I slid, the execution didnt go into the function above. My slider is in the toolbar. Actually, though I added the slider in the toolbar via the mainframe class, I really want it to execute a function that belongs to my view class, when I slide it.SO

1. What am I doing wrong (need to involve m_slider somehow? )

How to get the view function to run if I slide?

Thanks,
ns

If I put a slider on the view form, then this works:

void CSliderctrlView::OnHScroll(UINT nSBCode, UINT nPos, CScrollBar* pScrollBar) 
{
	// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
	
	CFormView::OnHScroll(nSBCode, nPos, pScrollBar);

	int nPos1  = m_sl1.GetPos();
	CString temp ;
	temp.Format(" the position is %d ",nPos1);

	AfxMessageBox(temp);

}

But
1. My slider is a mainframe variable, and exists in the toolbar.

It doesnt respond to WM_HSCROLL trapped by the mainframe class. When I did the Add windows handler, the filter (right hand bottom) was set to "TopMost frame".

When I added the handler to the view class, the filter was "window"

Looks like I need to do something special to trap hscroll in the toolbar....but what? ??

Your slider will send it's messages to the toolbar, so you have to relay it from the toolbar to your view.

void CMyToolbar::OnHScroll(UINT code, UINT pos, CScrollbar *pBar)
{
    CMDIFrameWnd *pFrame = (CMDIFrameWnd*)AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd;
    CMDIChildWnd *pChild = pFrame->MDIGetActive();
    CView *pView = pChild->GetActiveView();
    pView->SendMessage(WM_HSCROLL, MAKEWPARAM(code, pos), (LPARAM)pBar->GetSafeHwnd());
}

Qusetion about sendmessage...

ns31-Aug-02 11:26

31-Aug-02 11:26

New to sendmessage. I see youre sending WM_HScroll to the view. That clear. Now shall I put a handler for this in the view class? And within it call my function? What if some other scrolling operation happens, like when I scroll the mainframe or the view? I dont want the custom function to run then, which it will since I'm trapping all HScroll stuff.....How do I restrict the WM_HSCROLL handler of the view class to run only when I slide the slider?

Thanks,
ns

Check the value of the pScrollBar pointer passed into your view's OnHScroll() handler. It will be NULL if the scroll message was generated by the view's own scroll bars, otherwise it will point to the control that generated the message (the lparam value in the SendMessage()).

The slider control will send its messages to it's parent window, which in all likelyhood will be the toolbar, not the mainframe.

Check out these articles, they may be of some help.

In the second link, he has a docking toolbar. By defaut its showing up at the bottom of the MDI app, near the status bar> i want it to be near the top toolbar, docked in the remaining space alongside it (my custom toolbar has two controls in it). How do I get this to happen? It looks pretty awful sitting at the bottom...

My mfc mdi app has 15x15 or 16x16 toolbar button pictures in it. I'm looking for this size picture for Brightness and Contrast functions. I usually cut and paste from the customize toolbar menu.
Any links or know where I can get it? If its in an ico file, I dont know how to grab it and paste it on the button.

Thanks,

Why not grabbing such common pictures from other apps? Common icon pictures are not copyrighted. Make a screenshot (press the Print key on your keyboard), paste into a new Paint bitmap, use Zoom, copy the icon and paste it in MsDev.

adding spinbtn -editbuddy to toolbar

31-Aug-02 8:37

I found out how to adda combobox to the toolbar. so its the same to put in a generic class in the toolbar - say a slider. I really want a spin-edit buddied up pair in the toolbar. How do I insert that? I am referring to http://www.codeproject.com/docking/toolbarcombo.asp?

If I cant figure this out I'll have to use a slider which I'd rather not, because it mnight not look so good if its not dockable separately, ....

Any links or ideas?

adding tooltips to toolbar buttons, spinbutton

31-Aug-02 8:29

Hi,

I added some buttons to the standard toolbar in my mfc MDI app and want to have tooltips on hovering. Can someone please point me to a link on how to do this (programmatically or manually)?

Also is there any MFC sample code for adding a spinbutton+ buddy edit ctr lto the toolbar? Actually if I can see how to get the spin-edit to work, I can incorporate it with the article on embedding non button ctrls into the toolbar.

Thanks,
ns

Adding tooltips to toolbar buttons in MFC is damned easy. Let's say you have "Paste" button to paste clipboard contents. The button command ID is ID_EDIT_PASTE. Then you should create a string with the same ID (ID_EDIT_PASTE) and assign it a value "Insert Clipboard contents\nPaste". Note that the string consists of two lines separated by line feed symbol ("\n"). The second line provides information for the button's tooltip.

Easy ?, #include problems

Hi all,
I am receiving the following error:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__FindCloseUrlCache@4 referenced in function "public: __thiscall cache_iterator::cache_iterator(void)" (??0cache_iterator@@QAE@XZ)

I am working on WinXP, VS.NET C++. I am trying to compile Win32 project with reference to the WININET.H file.

I have tried the following:
#include <wininet.h>
#include "wininet.h" //copied wininet.h to same directory as file being compiled
#include "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include\WININET" //use full path

none of the above work, I used \VERBOSE:LIB to verify compiler wasn't linking the library

There seems to be something I am overlooking, please help??

Thanks in Advance.

Did you check that you actually linked the library? The error is either missing library in input library list or wrong method decoration (for example, not using 'extern "C"').

It's a linker problem, and therefore not a "#include" problem...

You need to link with Wininet.lib, you can do that either in the project settings, or by typing #pragma comment(lib, "Wininet.lib") in the sourcefile...

In my neverending struggle to eliminate all overhead, I recently chose to do without the default libraries in my application, resulting in the following errors:

main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___CxxFrameHandler<br />
main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __except_list

How do I get rid of them? What am I still using that needs these functions? And how on earth am I ever going to replace the recently thrown out *operator new in my application that I use every twenty lines?

the linker is smart enough to only pull functions that it actually needs to build your app. you can link to every .LIB on your system yet your EXE will still only contain what it needs.
