Quite a lot! If you had read the messages produced by the compiler it would have pointed you to the missing semi-colons, additional commas etc. It took me about five goes to get a clean compile but there is still a bug in there. Might I suggest you start with a sample program produced by the Visual Studio wizard, in order to see the stages of a basic windows program.

Hope not telling about the syntax errors, which is there in your code.

I just tried your code snippet on a modified c:\boot.ini file and it read fine. The tab character was in pBuf.

Hi
I want to set the background of a static control to transparent. How to do this?
I tried the methode described in MSDN ( using the ON_WM_CTLCOLOR() and ON_WM_ERASEBKGND() ) but not working.
My intention is to set the background to a blue gradient or just a solid fill. I have lot of static controls and check boxes in my dialog. I mangaed to set the background of my dialog to solid blue with the help of MSDN documentation. But static control background becomes white whatever i do according to the documentation. Compailer complainted that m_brush is not declaired. I declaired it as CBrush m_brush; in .h file. I have not initialized and not sure how to initialise it.
Am i doing something wrong? Please help. Below is what I got from the MSDN (FYR)
HBRUSH CTestDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
if (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_MYSTATIC)
{
pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255, 0, 0));
pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
hbr = m_brush;
}
return hbr;
}
BOOL CTestDlg::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC)
{
CBrush backBrush(RGB(255, 128, 128));
CBrush* pOldBrush = pDC->SelectObject(&backBrush);
CRect rect;
pDC->GetClipBox(&rect);
pDC->PatBlt(rect.left, rect.top, rect.Width(), rect.Height(),
PATCOPY);
pDC->SelectObject(pOldBrush);
return TRUE;
}

Dear Randor,
It done the job for static texts. Thank you very much. But the check boxes give COLOR_BTNFACE as background colour if I return it only for the static text.
if (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_STATIC_DATE)
{
hbr = ((HBRUSH)GetStockObject(NULL_BRUSH));
}
return hbr;
If I return it for all controls, check boxes become black. What to do?
sorry if I am asking silly questions.. I am newbie 
Thanks in advance!

Hi Deepak,

If you are custom coloring multiple controls in your WM_CTLCOLOR handler then it would be better to use a switch statement with a single call to the pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() function.
To handle both the static and the checkbox try something like this:
int iCtrlID = pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID();
switch(iCtrlID)
{
case IDC_STATIC_DATE:
{
pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
hbr = ((HBRUSH)GetStockObject(NULL_BRUSH));
break;
}
case IDC_YOUR_CHECKBOX:
{
RECT r;
pWnd->GetClientRect(&r);
pDC->BitBlt(0, 0, r.right - r.left, r.bottom - r.top, pWnd->GetDC(), r.left, r.top, SRCCOPY);
hbr = ((HBRUSH)GetStockObject(NULL_BRUSH));
break;
}
default:
break;
}

Dear Randor,
Once again thank you for your great help. That did the Trick! I have one more issue in the static text. It doesn't properly update the text. I think it is writing over the old text in each iteration. I am using a static text to display the current time. In each second it is being updated with new time with the help of a timer. It was working fine before we went for the transparent background. now it seems to be overwriting. Do I need to clear the text before updating it? I mean use some thing like
SetDlgItemText(IDC_STATIC_DATE,_T(" ")
SetDlgItemText(IDC_STATIC_DATE,_T("HH:MM:SS")
Thank you
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
Are you Invalidating the CStatic window after you update the text?
SetDlgItemText(IDC_STATIC_DATE,_T("HH:MM:SS"));
CWnd *pWnd = GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC_DATE);
if(NULL != pWnd)
{
pWnd->Invalidate();
pWnd->UpdateWindow();
}
Best Wishes,

Hi David,
That has no effect. 
Thanks

Sorry... I somehow misunderstood what your trouble was. 
Now I understand your problem. The parent needs to redraw what was under the child something like this:
CWnd *pWnd = GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC_DATE);
if(NULL != pWnd)
{
RECT r;
pWnd->GetWindowRect(&r);
ScreenToClient(&r);
InvalidateRect(&r);
}
Best Wishes,

Hi David,
It is working nicely now.
But I could not set text colour for the Check boxes and Radio buttons. IT shows up as black always regardless of SetTextColor(). Is there any other thing I have to do in CtlColor method for it? Also how to control the colour of Tab control ?
Thank You
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
This tells me that your Windows theme is overriding the colors. You can disable the theme for an individual control using the SetWindowTheme Function[^]. Lets use your checkbox as an example:
case IDC_YOUR_CHECKBOX:
{
RECT r;
pWnd->GetClientRect(&r);
pDC->BitBlt(0, 0, r.right - r.left, r.bottom - r.top, pWnd->GetDC(), r.left, r.top, SRCCOPY);
pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
hbr = ((HBRUSH)GetStockObject(NULL_BRUSH));
pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255, 0, 0));
SetWindowTheme(pWnd->m_hWnd, L"", L"");
break;
}
We have disabled the theme on this control. It might not be what you want, maybe it will be ugly in your eyes. 
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

Compiler complained that
Error 1 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__SetWindowTheme@12 LoggerDlg.obj
Error 2 fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals C:\Documents and Settings\deepak.p\Desktop\Logger Working\Logger 13-Sep-2009
From the documentation you provided it says to include "uxtheme.h" but it din't solved the compile error.
Do we need any other includes ?
|

|

Add:
#include "uxtheme.h"
#pragma comment(lib, "uxtheme.lib")
Or you can add the uxtheme.lib into the project linker settings.
Best Wishes,

Dear David,
Sorry for the late reply. I was on leave due to some health problems 
I tried your suggestion for the check boxes. But it shows some strange behaviors. Okay I will go with the black letters. But can you please tell me how to change the Tab controls color and button colors?
Thanks in advance

If you have code for creating a cookie, why can't you access it?
