Dear ElegantUI technical support,

We are a Software Development company, and we are considering you valuable product in developing a bi-lingual application ( English / Arabic) for the Arabic area market, as the basic interface component.

But lately we discovered a strange behavior when we proceeded in localization process, where we added the "Interface Arabization"  and right to left layout support to our product, that any of controls that allows resizing in run time, does not refresh correctly, and most of the time it leaves black traces, in a random manner in one or more controls that could get affected by the re-size event.

I’ve cropped an a part of the application screen as an example of the case.

Wishing you reply to us soon ...

Hi,

I have 4 textBoxes placed on the ribbon and TabIndex of each is set. All the controls have their TabStop property set to true. But tabbing is not happening?
Is there any other property which I need to set to make it work?

Thanks

I am planning of a new development in VB.net .. my application will need to have the feature as in http://www.wintabber.com/
But i like to use the Prof-uis frameset Office style.. Is that possible .. Someone have any sample.. to open external apps in the Tab of the frame set.. Please let me know.

CoolD

I want to add the cool docking features or at least the pretty 3d look of the toolbars to our existing vb6 apps without having to convert over all the existing menu’s.

Is this going to be possible?

Dear Tech Support
Our MDI application consists of a main frame e.g. CMainFrame and several child frames e.g. CMDIChildWnd.
I would like to save the main window position plus the last position of the child frames.
Saving the main window position is not a problem. Saving the window position of the child windows seams not to work.
I am using the following code snippet.
CWinApp * pApp = ::AfxGetApp();
ASSERT( pApp != NULL );
ASSERT( pApp->m_pszRegistryKey != NULL );
ASSERT( pApp->m_pszRegistryKey[0] != _T(’\0’) );

GetWindowPlacement(&m_dataFrameWP);

VERIFY(CExtControlBar::ProfileBarStateSave(
this,
pApp->m_pszRegistryKey,
pApp->m_pszProfileName,
m_sProfileName,
&m_dataFrameWP));
I found out that the m_dataFrameWP changes once the ProfileBarStateSave has been executed. It seems to me as if the m_dataFrameWP contains the window pos of the main window.
What am I doing wrong? Does my need for saving all the window positions go along with the philosophy of the ProfUIs framework or does it only allow me to save the main windows position but not the child windows position?
Is there an example on using the bEnableThrowExceptions if it is true? Try catch blocks.

Dear Tech Support,

I want to add CExtMyGridWnd(derived from CExtGridWnd)into a CExtResizableDialog, then embeded the dialog box into Page Container(CExtPageContainerWnd).

Any suggestion on how to handle this?

Please help to figure out this one

Is there a grid control available for Frame Features 1.2. Please reply.

Hi,
I’m evaluating FrameFeatures so to change the look&feel of and old VB6 product. It is required to update the menu commands TextInMenu dinamically due to different languages supported. I’ve tried to assign TextInMenu on Form_Load(), and It works well, with no error. Even the command inspector shows the updated text. However, the interface never noticed that change. How can achieve that?

Also, how can hide certain menu commands at runtime? I’ve downloaded the sample above (which disable menu command at runtime), but VlVisibleControl property doesn’t do what I want. Any help?

Very thanks,
Jonatan

The disabled popup items work as it is demonstrated in the following sample applications (VB6 and VB 2003 projects). Both projects use the same source code given in your message.

The toolbar (menu bar) itself cannot be disabled in Frame Features nor it can be done in Microsoft applications. It can only be visible or hidden in the docked or floating state. The disabled/enabled state is available only for toolbar buttons and menu items independently from each other. We can provide you with the solution to disable/enable all the buttons in particular toolbar. Would this approach be agreeable for you?

Additionally we must note that, if all the commands in the toolbar are disabled, the user can drag and drop enabled commands from some other toolbar or from customize dialog onto the toolbar with disabled commands. So, we guess we need to know more details about what you actually want to implement. This will allow us to provide you with the best available solution.

Hi,

I need some help..

Maybe it’s the right place to ask..

I want to change the vs 2005. An embeded change.

For example: I want to open a project. but when i will double click

on the project: a form that i did will open in the base window (where the "start menu" is).

or another possibility: To make a button embeded in the vs environment.. and when the button will be

pushed’ my form will open in the base window (embeded.. not above)

What do u say? any ideas? (maybe about vs2003?)

Thx everyone!

It’s not clear completely what you mean. Please explain us step by step what you want to do with Visual Studio 2005/2003? What would you like to embed and where? How should it look like?

I want to make a project with a form (one dll)

and i want to open another project that will open the specific form from the other dll in the base window

(embeded in the visual studio). and not like exe.

any ideas?

thx!

Hi, how can I build FrameFeatures objects (menu, commands, etc.) without using the FrameFeatures Property Dialog? Where can I get some example?

Thank you

Luca Arena

PS you can add "Sybase PowerBuilder" to the supported development environment, since FF runs with it!

Somehow?

The toolbar window can float only in its own floating palette. This is true both for Prof-UIS and Frame Features. We have not come across any kind of toolbars which can float in a shared palette.

You see this in Adobe Illustrator

In the standard MFC CListCtrl class, there’s a method called SetItemData that allows the programmer to assign any application-specific value to a particular row. Is there something like this in the CExtGridWnd class?

Hello. I need to create main frame window with 3 controlbars in it - 1 at the left, 1 at the right and 1 at the bottom. So, I do like this:

m_dlgbarL.DockControlBar( AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_LEFT, 1, this, false );

There are many "compare something" applications with left/right resizable views on the Internet. But we have never seen these views made re-dockable and they really don’t need this feature. What about using a splitter-based main view for keeping left/right views and output window inside the resizable control bar?

It will be Ok now, I’ll do it. But in the future we can enlarge our applicaion for one more function, which will requre inly one tree. So, thank tou for consultation.

Resizable control bars are designed to occupy some space next to the border of the frame window or float over it. They are not designed to make the central view area invisible or replace it. We think your idea is not very good and we have never seen such kind of UI design in any application before. What do you think about resizable control bars which can be optionally "floating" in the MDI client area in the MDI application or inside the tab page container window as the main view in the SDI application? This feature will be fully available in the next major Prof-UIS release and is demonstrated in the SDI_DynamicBars and MDI_DynamicBars samples available on our site.

Hi,

I have a problem with the CExtChildResizablePropertySheet. It does not draw correctly the border if you choose the style with the borders. The bottom border is not visible. This happens also in your sample. Its very ugly when it is coloured style or when you put anchored controls, they seem to be anchored down endless. Is there a solution for this ?

Kind Regards
Adam

Dear Adam,

The standard Windows property sheet control is designed to be used as a pop-up window only. Our CExtResizablePropertySheet class allows you to use the property sheet control as a child window, which is demonstrated in the ResizableChildSheet sample. We have remade the property sheet’s functionality (including that dealing with processing the TAB key, when you need to switch between its child windows) to make it work as a child window. This was mostly experimental work. Yes, we confirm that this is a bug and it is at least several month old. But unfortunately we have not found a way to fix it. When we tried to re-position the tab window manually we faced many situations when the property sheet moves it back into covering border state. If you fix this problem we would offer you a one user license. What do you think about this idea?

Hi,

I found a workaround that is working fine for me with all Child Propertysheet styles.

In CExtResizablePropertySheet::OnSize(...) it is moving the window and i changed it to this :

            pTabCtrl->GetItemRect(0,&rect);
            pTabCtrl->MoveWindow( 0, 0, cx, cy-(rect.bottom-rect.top)-9, FALSE );

It seems to be the height of the Tabs + 9 Pixels the problem. But I dont`t know where this 9 px come from. Perhaps you know. I think it could be from the window Header ( CExtControlBar ).

In Release this doesn`t work, because the rect of the tab control is returing completly shity numbers.
Here works only with the original height 18 hardcoded.

pTabCtrl->MoveWindow( 0, 0, cx, cy-18-9, FALSE );

Is 27 a "magic" number for the height of something ?

It seems, with your help, we have fixed the bug in our experimental property sheet. Please check the modified version and contact us at support@prof-uis.com so that we can fulfill our promise.

I’m using Prof-UIS 2.27. CExtFlatEdit control doesn’t displayed correctly when it placed in a groupbox. Please check for help.

Currently, I’m overing

OnPageContainerCaptionPressedStop() to detect which page caption is clicked. Sometime, I need to cancel expanding pages based on other condition, but in both function OnPageContainerCaptionPressedStart() and OnPageContainerCaptionPressedStop(), I can’t find a way to cancel the expantion. Is there any ways to prevent expanding the page by coding?
