I tried but its not working.

I am not using SetWindowText(). I have created a int value type variable for static text and I am assigning the slider position to that variable. The value is changing with the slider movement but its getting overwritten.

Hey Jochen, I did the same way u suggested and its working...
Thanks a lot for all your help.
One last doubt: How to update the static control which I am using to display the run-time value. The value is changing but it gets overwritten on the previous value. How to solve this problem???

I tried it before but the value is not changing.

Thanks Jochen... My project is working now...!!!!

Can you tell me how to show the value of the slider at run time? I mean the value should change as the slider position is changed. I want to display the value above the slider control at run time?

Can you please explain me in detail?
I tried with the OnHScroll() but nothing happened....

Coder Block and ThePhantomUpvoter please have a look on the code.

Here, CPrintHeadProfile class is associated with the Dialog (Style: Child)

void CDiagnostics::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)
{
CDialogEx::DoDataExchange(pDX);
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_DIAGNOSETABS, m_DiagnoseTabCtrl);
}


BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CDiagnostics, CDialogEx)
ON_BN_CLICKED(IDOK, &CDiagnostics::OnBnClickedOk)
ON_BN_CLICKED(IDCANCEL, &CDiagnostics::OnBnClickedCancel)
ON_WM_CTLCOLOR()
ON_WM_ERASEBKGND()
END_MESSAGE_MAP()




BOOL CDiagnostics::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialogEx::OnInitDialog();
SetBackgroundColor (g_DlgColor);

m_OK.m_bOverControl = FALSE;
m_Cancel.m_bOverControl = FALSE;
m_OK.EnableHot();
m_Cancel.EnableHot();


m_pPrintHeadProfile = new CPrintHeadProfile;
m_pPrintHeadProfile->Create(CPrintHeadProfile::IDD, &m_DiagnoseTabCtrl);
m_DiagnoseTabCtrl.AddTab(m_pPrintHeadProfile, "Print Head Profile", 0);
m_pPrintHeadProfile->m_pTabCtrl = &m_DiagnoseTabCtrl;


m_colorval = RGB(210,230,255);//RGB(122, 204, 200);
m_bkcolorval = RGB(122, 204, 200);//RGB(122, 204, 200);
DWORD dwFlags = 0;

if (m_bFlat)
dwFlags |= ETC_FLAT;

if (m_bColor)
dwFlags |= ETC_COLOR;

if (m_bSelection)
dwFlags |= ETC_SELECTION;

if (m_bGradient)
dwFlags |= ETC_GRADIENT;

if (m_bBackTabs)
dwFlags |= ETC_BACKTABS;

m_DiagnoseTabCtrl.SetBkgndColor(BKCOLOR);
m_DiagnoseTabCtrl.EnableDraw(m_bFlat ? BTC_ALL : dwFlags ? BTC_TABS : BTC_NONE);

CConfigTabCtrl::EnableCustomLook(dwFlags | m_bBackColor, dwFlags);

How to create a graph? I mean I have never done it before and I am new to MFC. can you help me out?

Properties of Tab Control are as follows:
Transparent: TRUE.
Visible: TRUE.
Multiline: TRUE.
Owner Draw Fixed: TRUE

Thanks Matthew.... They are useful articles but what I need is simple vertical Toolbar on Left Side of Client area. For Example consider Paint Application. Just like paint I need to add few controls in my application. Please suggest me something.

Hi shambhoo...
Suppose there are few combo box on your Dialog. what i want is when i select the parameter from 1st combo box the rest should change depending on the 1st parameter selected.

For Ex:
Consider there are 3 parameters namely, Student, Employee, Bank Name.

When I select student then the remaining Combo Box will be regarding the student Information. For Employee remaining Combo Box will represent Employee Information... and so on.....

I Hope now u would have got what i want???

I have added Buttons Using Toolbox.

If u get some time then pls have a look at it once.

By the way joan can u help me with that "MFC Print Preview Extension DLL for Dialog"? when m compiling that project, it gives error that "afximpl.h" could not be found. I copied that file in directory but still there's some error in that file.

Thanks...!!!

thanks for your help joan... m new to CP so was not knowing anything of what u said. will keep that in mind.

sorry to say but i have clearly mentioned about my need in my question above.
i have clearly mentioned that i need that for my dialog based app.
n if u haven't get that then i m explaining again.

i want to print the data from the edit box (Multiline and Read only) which i have implemented using ActiveX control "Microsoft Common Dialog control, version 6.0" . Can u help me now? The one given in "MFC Print preview extension DLL for dialogs" m not getting how to implement that? if possible pls help me with that

thanks joan but i want to use those functions on Dialog based App and not MDI? so pls help me with that..

And for writing the Date, Time and Data to a text file i m doing it in following manner.....

CString strDate, strTime;

Time = CTime::GetCurrentTime();
strDate = Time.Format("%x-");
strTime = Time.Format("%X");

file.Write(strDate, 9);
file.Write(strTime, 9);
file.Write(" Initializing Key Test....\r\n", 28);

i have mentioned my problem above... i missing some data...

Here is the code....

CStdioFile fp;
CString m_Buffer;
CString m_TempBuffer;

fp.Open(cFileAddr, CFile::modeRead);

while (!feof (fp.m_pStream))
{
fp.ReadString( m_TempBuffer );
m_Buffer += m_TempBuffer;
m_Buffer += "\r\n";
}

fp.Close();

m_EditBox.SetWindowText(m_Buffer);

My Project deadline are too close n i have to do something on it by monday so pls help me out?

i didn't get you? i want to read the response generated by my hardware on Printer keystrokes as soon as dialog opens.

i have gone through your project before and it really helps to understand the serial communication concept for the freshers like me.
i will tell u what m trying to do.
i m sending a command to my hardware on a button click event and after that m opening a new dialog and i want to read the data from USB as soon as the dialog initializes or simultaneously
