Hello,

I was looking for a class with fixed size that only contains a dialog child window just like CExtPanelControlBar. Unfortunately this class cannot be docked to resizable windows like CExtControlBar, because it acts like a toolbar.

So I wrote a class deriving from CExtControlBar with CBRS_GRIPPER disabled ( to deactivate the window caption/frame ) which overwrites the _CalcDesiredMinHW() and _CalcDesiredMinVH() functions.

But somehow, the min. dimensions were always square, so I traced the computation back to CExtControlBar::_CalcDesiredLayout() where I found this:

        if( m_sizeDockedH.cy < _CalcDesiredMinHW() )
            m_sizeDockedH.cy = _CalcDesiredMinHW();

and similiar code blocks for vertical/floating docking. Assuming that W stands for width, at least the terminology sounds odd ( comparing y to width ). So I changed it to

        if( m_sizeDockedH.cx < _CalcDesiredMinHW() )
            m_sizeDockedH.cx = _CalcDesiredMinHW();

and the window was as I expected it to be. My sample project was the SDI-sample with a modified dialog child window.

 

Best regards

 

 

 

 

Hi, suppoters. I have a simple question about showing & hiding dialog.

I have a dialog "A" that is CExtResizableDialog on CExtControlBar window  "A_wnd" docked.

 m_clsPlaybackWnd.ShowWindow(bShow);

 m_clsPlaybackDlg.ShowWindow(bShow);

When the user change page, A and Awnd were hided using  ShowWindow(HIDE) function.

But the user return origin page, A and Awnd were still hided spite using ShowWindow(SHOW).

I want to When the user return page, A and Awnd come up. Do you have another function except for ShowWindow() and any soloutions?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dear Support, 

You misunderstand my question.

I have each dialog inside each one control bar.  "A" dialog inside "Awnd"control bar window. "B dialog inside "Bwnd"control bar window.

"A" ,"B",..dialog inherited CExtResizableDialog class

"Awnd", "Bwnd",.. control bar inherited CExtControlBar class

I don’t want to use tabcontainer.

I have serveral dialog in main page.

When I change the other page, "A","B",.. and "Awnd", "Bwnd", .. on main page were hided using  ShowWindow(HIDE) function.

But I return main page, "A","B",.. and "Awnd", "Bwnd", .. were still hided inspite using ShowWindow(SHOW).

Do you know  the solution that "A","B",.. and "Awnd", "Bwnd", ..  show up again?

Do you have another function except for ShowWindow()?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

It’s not correct to show/hide a window created as a child of the CExtControlBar window. Your dialogs should always be visible. You should show/hide the CExtControlBar windows using the CFrameWnd::ShowControlBar() method instead.

First of all, the CExtControlBar window requires only one window to be created inside it. If you need two or more windows inside one control bar, you should create one container window as a child of the control bar and then create other windows, including your dialog, as children of this container window.

You can use one of our tab page container classes for this purpose. But you will need to hide tab control inside the tab page container. So, you should use the following class:

class CYourContainer : public CExtTabPageContainerWnd
{
public:
            CYourContainer() { ShowTabStrip( false ); }
};

The CYourContainer class is a tab page container window which has persistently hidden tab control inside it. You should create the CYourContainer window as a child of the CExtControlBar window. Then you should create visible page windows, including your dialog, as children of the CYourContainer window and register them as pages using the CExtTabPageContainerWnd::PageInsert() method. To activate particular page window you should invoke the CExtTabPageContainerWnd::PageSelectionSet() method. Please do not forget to select required page initially.

I am trying to create a MDI tabs application using the Prof-UIS AppWizard. According to the help file, i just have to declare
" CExtTabMdiWnd m_wndMdiTabs" in the main frame window class and add the following code to the OnCreate() method:

if( !m_wndMdiTabs.Create(this) )
{
TRACE0("Failed to create m_wndMdiTabs\n");
return -1;
}

I have declared the m_wndMdiTabs in CMAinFrame and added the code in OnCreate() but it still shows the following errors:

1. syntax error : missing ’;’ before identifier ’m_wndMdiTabs’

2.’CExtTabMdiWnd’ : missing storage-class or type specifiers

3. ’m_wndMdiTabs’ : missing storage-class or type specifiers

4.’m_wndMdiTabs’ : undeclared identifier

5. left of ’.Create’ must have class/struct/union type

What should i do so that i can use the " CExtTabMdiWnd m_wndMdiTabs" to create tabs in the application?

We are sorry but the MDI tabs classes are not present in the freeware version.

MDI tabs classes present in Prof-UIS Trial and Commercial versions only. Could you tell us which version you are using?

Hi,

my application is based on StateIniFile example (I uses version 2.82). It works fine until more than two bars are docked in one vertical column. When for example three CExtResizableDialog windows are docked vertically in one column after load of state from file I get some empty non updated region. Moving of any resizable dialog causes redraw af application window and correct placement of all dialogs. How to make this redraw programatically after load of state.

Thank you in advance. With best regards

Darius

Bar state saving and loading are copied from StateIniFile example:

   CFile _file(

   dlg.m_ofn.lpstrFile,

   CFile::modeRead|CFile::shareExclusive

   );

  CArchive ar( &_file, CArchive::load);

  CWinApp * pApp = ::AfxGetApp();

  ASSERT( pApp != NULL );

  ASSERT( pApp->m_pszRegistryKey != NULL );

  ASSERT( pApp->m_pszRegistryKey[0] != _T(’\0’) );

  ASSERT( pApp->m_pszProfileName != NULL );

  ASSERT( pApp->m_pszProfileName[0] != _T(’\0’) );

  ShowWindow( SW_HIDE );

  VERIFY(

   CExtControlBar::ProfileBarStateSerialize(

    ar,

    this,

    &m_dataFrameWP

    )

   );

  VERIFY(

   g_CmdManager->SerializeState(

    pApp->m_pszProfileName,

    ar

    )

   );

  ActivateFrame( SW_SHOW );

 

 

With best regards

This code snippet is OK. Could you show the source code which docks control bars into one column?

We need to take a look at the main frame’s source code. We suspect the problem is with initialization sequence or bar state loading.

Bar state saving and loading are copied from StateIniFile example:

 

 

 CFile _file(

   dlg.m_ofn.lpstrFile,

   CFile::modeRead|CFile::shareExclusive

   );

  CArchive ar( &_file, CArchive::load);

  CWinApp * pApp = ::AfxGetApp();

  ASSERT( pApp != NULL );

  ASSERT( pApp->m_pszRegistryKey != NULL );

  ASSERT( pApp->m_pszRegistryKey[0] != _T(’\0’) );

  ASSERT( pApp->m_pszProfileName != NULL );

  ASSERT( pApp->m_pszProfileName[0] != _T(’\0’) );

  ShowWindow( SW_HIDE );

  VERIFY(

   CExtControlBar::ProfileBarStateSerialize(

    ar,

    this,

    &m_dataFrameWP

    )

   );

  VERIFY(

   g_CmdManager->SerializeState(

    pApp->m_pszProfileName,

    ar

    )

   );

  ActivateFrame( SW_SHOW );

This code snippet is OK. Could you show the source code which docks control bars into one column?

Hi,

control bars are moved manually with mouse. I put three bars to one column, three bars to next column and save state to file. After state is restored from file after ActivateFrame command application window is displayed with wronly repositioned two top bars (in both columns).

After any movement of other bars (again with mouse), wrongly displayed bars are redrawed correctly exactly like before load of state from file.

 

With best regards

A quick question: do the dialog template resources used for dialog windows inside bars have the both WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_CLIPCHILDREN styles set on?

Yes they have.

Thank you !

I use Prof UIS 2.83.
I thought is problem from the subclass, but it also appears if i use CExtPaintManagerOffice2007_R1 style.
With the CExtPaintManagerNativeXP style it works fine.

Thank you for reporting this issue. There are two steps to fix it:1) Find the following code inside the CExtNcFrameImpl::NcFrameImpl_PreWindowProc() method:

   case WM_SETTINGCHANGE:
            case WM_DISPLAYCHANGE:
                        NcFrameImpl_MapHtRects_Clean();
            break;

And replace it with the following:

   case WM_SETTINGCHANGE:
                        NcFrameImpl_MapHtRects_Clean();
                        if( ! NcFrameImpl_IsSupported() )
                                    break;
                        if( NcFrameImpl_IsDwmBased() )
                                    break;
                        if( wParam == SPI_SETWORKAREA )
                        {
                                    WINDOWPLACEMENT _wp;
                                    ::memset( &_wp, 0, sizeof(WINDOWPLACEMENT) );
                                    _wp.length = sizeof(WINDOWPLACEMENT);
                                    if( GetWindowPlacement( _wp ) && _wp.showCmd == SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED )
                                    {
                                                CExtPaintManager::monitor_parms_t _mp;
                                                CExtPaintManager::stat_GetMonitorParms( _mp, pWndFrameImpl );
                                                WINDOWPLACEMENT _wpAdjust;
                                                ::memcpy( &_wpAdjust, &_wp, sizeof(WINDOWPLACEMENT) );
                                                _wpAdjust.showCmd = SW_SHOWNORMAL; // SW_RESTORE;
                                                ::CopyRect( &_wpAdjust.rcNormalPosition, &_mp.m_rcWorkArea );
                                                _wpAdjust.ptMaxPosition.x = _wpAdjust.ptMaxPosition.x = _wpAdjust.rcNormalPosition.left;
                                                _wpAdjust.ptMaxPosition.y = _wpAdjust.ptMaxPosition.y = _wpAdjust.rcNormalPosition.top;
                                                SetWindowPlacement( _wpAdjust );
                                                SetWindowPlacement( _wp );
                                    }
                        }
            break;
            case WM_DISPLAYCHANGE:
                        NcFrameImpl_MapHtRects_Clean();
            break;

2) Update the source code for the following method:

bool CExtNcFrameImpl::NcFrameImpl_GetMinMaxInfo(
            LPMINMAXINFO pMMI
            ) const

            if( ! NcFrameImpl_IsSupported() )
                        return false;
            if( NcFrameImpl_IsDwmBased() )
                        return true;
CWnd * pWndFrameImpl = const_cast < CWnd * > ( NcFrameImpl_GetFrameWindow() );
            if( ( pWndFrameImpl->GetStyle() & WS_CHILD ) == 0 )
            {
                        CRect rcBorders( 0, 0, 0, 1 );
                        CExtPaintManager::monitor_parms_t _mp;
                        CExtPaintManager::stat_GetMonitorParms( _mp, pWndFrameImpl );
                        pMMI->ptMaxPosition.x = rcBorders.left;
                        pMMI->ptMaxPosition.y = rcBorders.top;
                        pMMI->ptMaxTrackSize.x = pMMI->ptMaxSize.x = _mp.m_rcWorkArea.Width() - rcBorders.left - rcBorders.right;
                        pMMI->ptMaxTrackSize.y = pMMI->ptMaxSize.y = _mp.m_rcWorkArea.Height() - rcBorders.top - rcBorders.bottom;
                        APPBARDATA _data;
                        ::memset( &_data, 0, sizeof(APPBARDATA) );
                        _data.cbSize = sizeof(APPBARDATA);
                        UINT nSHR = (UINT)::SHAppBarMessage( ABM_GETSTATE, &_data );

I have some problems while compiling  Prof-UIS Freeware v.2.84 .  I am using Visual C++ 6.0 and I have set all the required paths. However, when I try to compile the Prof-UIS using ‘Batch Build’, it shows errors:

 

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "ProfUIS284n.lib", "ProfUIS284nd.lib", "ProfUIS284u.lib", "ProfUIS284ud.lib" (and so on) ,    Error executing link.exe. “ .

 

What should I do to solve this problem so that I can compile the project successfully?

You should compile some configuration(s) of the Prof-UIS library (the ProfUISDLL and ProfUISLIB projects) before compiling our sample applications and your projects.

The problems has been solved. Thanks :)

Simple question: I have a window subclassed from the CExtGridWnd. When the user selects any column in a row, I would like the entire row selected. Is there a flag setting for this?

Hopefully this is a simple question: How do I change the size of an undocked window (programmatically)? I have a window that is sub-classed from CExtResizableDialog. When the user undocks the window, it comes up with the correct size. However, when the user hits a button on the window, I would like the dialog to expand to twice it’s size (showing advanced options) (if the window is undocked).

I’ve tried the standard SetWindowPos and it doesn’t seem to work. Is there a method for doing this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Doug

Thanks for the code. The issue is still that I want to resize the dialog when it is not docked. The code shows the resizing when it is docked.

Doug

Here is the improved version:

http://www.prof-uis.com/download/forums/ChangeFloatingSize3.zip

Excellent.. I read through the code (still didn’t work), but did notice something. The floating window that you change the size for is subclassed from CExtNCSB. We have version 2.80, rather than 2.84. From reading the help documentation, that class doesn’t seem to exist in our version. Is it possible to do it without the CExtNCSB, or do we have to upgrade?

The CExtNCSB template class replaces scroll bars of other window with the CExtScrollBar based themed Prof-UIS scroll bars. If you don’t need themed scroll bars, you don’t need the CExtNCSB template class. If you need themed scroll bars, then you need a newer Prof-UIS version because the CExtNCSB template class requires the newer CExtScrollBar class which requires the newer paint manager classes. The last classes require newer versions of mostly all the other classes. This template class is not related to the programmatic control bar resizing task. You can simply remove it if you have old Prof-UIS version. The sample application we improved for you does programmatic control bar resizing and it must work even with oldest Prof-UIS versions. Please describe us what you did after running the latest version of the test project referred in our previous answer.

Well, I figured out a solution. Not the most optimum, but works enough for me. It seems if I do:

            CSize szDialog(iWidth, iHeight);
            bar->SetInitDesiredSizeFloating(szDialog);
            bar->m_pDockSite->ShowControlBar(bar,false, false);
            bar->m_pDockSite->ShowControlBar(bar,true, false);

The dynamic change of the window works. I’m using version 2.80. If I just set the desired size for floating and called the recalclayout on the mainframe, nothing happened. In this situation, I get a flicker, but the user isn’t doing the auto-resizing all that often, so, it’s okay.

Please take a look at the following sample project:

Hi exports,

    I have a subclass CMyDlg derived from CExtResizableDialog. I want to post user defined message to this dialog as below 

  CMyDlg * dlg;
 dlg->PostMessage(WM_MY_MESSAGE,NULL,NULL);

 Result in compile Error  error C2039: ’ProcessMessage’ : is not a member of CMyDlg.  How can i post user defined message to this dialog, can you show me an effective method and sample code or ? thanks very much.

Dear ProfUIS-Team,

how can I programmatically set focus on a ribbon node that has been qualified as a text field using the __ECTN_TBB_TEXT_FIELD flag?

Kind regards,

Martin

This is a bit more complicated. If you found a text field button but it’s CExtBarButton::IsVisible() method returned false, then you should do the following:

1) Walk through parent buttons of the found button using the CExtBarButton::ParentButtonGet() method and find the instance of the CExtRibbonButtonGroup button using the DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST preprocessor function.

2) Invoke the CExtRibbonButtonGroup::OnTrackPopup() virtual method of the found group button.

3) If the popup ribbon page control is displayed, then the CExtRibbonBar::m_pPopupPageMenuGroup property is not NULL. It’s the ribbon popup menu displayed on the screen.

4) The CExtRibbonBar::m_pPopupPageMenuGroup.m_wndRibbonPage property is the CExtRibbonPage control inside the displayed on the screen popup menu. This ribbon page contains only one non collapsed group of buttons which contains cloned button copies from the collapsed group of button inside the main CExtRibbonBar control. You should repeat the text field searching for the CExtRibbonBar::m_pPopupPageMenuGroup.m_wndRibbonPage ribbon page window like we described it for the main ribbon bar window in our previous answer.

Thank you for your kind answer!

I tried the following code:

int i_idx =
	m_wndRibbonBar.CExtToolControlBar::CommandToIndex(ID_CMD);

if(i_idx >= 0)
{
	CExtBarButton * button =
		m_wndRibbonBar.CExtToolControlBar::GetButton(i_idx);
	if(!button->CExtBarButton::IsVisible())
	{
		button = button->ParentButtonGet();
		while(button)
		{
			if(DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CExtRibbonButtonGroup, button) )
			{
				(dynamic_cast<CExtRibbonButtonGroup *> (button))->
					CExtRibbonButtonGroup::OnTrackPopup(
						CPoint(-32767,-32767),
						true,
						true);
				break;
			}
			button = button->ParentButtonGet();
		}
		if (m_wndRibbonBar.m_pPopupPageMenuGroup)
		{
			i_idx = m_wndRibbonBar.m_pPopupPageMenuGroup->
				m_wndRibbonPage.CommandToIndex(ID_CMD);
				button = m_wndRibbonBar.m_pPopupPageMenuGroup->
				m_wndRibbonPage.GetButton(i_idx);
		}
		else
		{
			return;
		}
	}
	(dynamic_cast<CExtBarTextFieldButton *> (button) )->
		OnInplaceControlRun();
}

Unfortunately I got an error within ExtRibbonBar.cpp:

Calling IsAbleToTrackMenu() in function CExtRibbonButtonGroup::OnTrackPopup() returns false, thus -1 is being returned. (Yes, we’re still using ProfUIS 2.82 ;-)

What could I do to solve this issue?

Thank you for your question. It helped us find a small typo in the CExtRibbonBar::Ribbon_AutoHideModeDoExpanding() method. There are the following lines of code near the beginning of this method:

INT nSelIdx = RibbonTabPageButton_GetIndexOf( pTBB );
            if( nSelIdx <= 0 )
                        return false;

In fact they should be:

INT nSelIdx = RibbonTabPageButton_GetIndexOf( pTBB );
            if( nSelIdx < 0 )
                        return false;

We implemented programmatic activation of text/combo field buttons. We didn’t add any new methods to the CExtRibbonBar and CExtRibbonPage classes yet. But we made the RibbonBar sample application activating two different text fields when clicking on the Undo and Redo buttons inside the ribbon bar’s quick access toolbar area which is near the ribbon file button. We just inserted the following code into the beginning of the CMainFrame::OnCmdMsg() method in the RibbonBar sample application:

   if( ( nID == ID_QA_EDIT_UNDO || nID == ID_QA_EDIT_REDO ) && nCode == CN_COMMAND && pExtra == NULL )
            {
                        // the index of the Home or Mailings ribbon tab page
                        INT nRibbonTabPageIndex = ( nID == ID_QA_EDIT_UNDO ) ? 0 : 4;
                        // id of font face name or go to text fields
                        UINT nTextFieldButtonCmdID = ( nID == ID_QA_EDIT_UNDO ) ? ID_SE_FONT_LIST : ID_MAILINGS_GOTO_RECORD;
                        SendMessage( WM_CANCELMODE ); // close any popup windows
                        CExtRibbonPage * pWndRibbonPageToSearch = &m_wndRibbonBar;
                        if( ! m_wndRibbonBar.RibbonPage_ExpandedModeGet() )
                        {
                                    pWndRibbonPageToSearch = NULL;
                                    CExtRibbonButtonTabPage * pRibbonTabPageTBB = m_wndRibbonBar.RibbonTabPageButton_GetAt( nRibbonTabPageIndex );
                                    ASSERT_VALID( pRibbonTabPageTBB );
                                    if(                     m_wndRibbonBar.Ribbon_AutoHideModeDoExpanding( pRibbonTabPageTBB, false )
                                                &&        m_wndRibbonBar.m_pPopupPageMenuAutoHide != NULL

                                                ASSERT( m_wndRibbonBar.m_pPopupPageMenuAutoHide->GetSafeHwnd() != NULL );

                                                                                    }

                                                            }
                                                }
                                    }
                        }
                        m_wndRibbonBar.Invalidate();
                        return TRUE;
            }

As we said, we didn’t insert a new method doing the same into Prof-UIS. We think we need to add some additional cases. For instance, the text/combo field ribbon items can be even deeper in the ribbon tree - they can be inside popup menus displayed by some ribbon buttons. They also can be inside ribbon file menu displayed from ribbon file button, inside quick access toolbar and part of right buttons group that is at right side of ribbon tabs. This task is even more interesting. There are several other ribbon elements which you may need to display programmatically and/or set focus to them: different types of galleries, popup color and date picker menus, check boxes etc. We are trying to design and test some more universal code which is able to solve your task as one of possible tasks. So, if you have any whishes or any similar tasks in your project, then we are ready to discuss them.

Please also note, if you will not apply the issue fix we meant at the beginning of this message, then only the Undo button will activate and focus ribbon text field after modifying the RibbonBar sample application.

Thanks again for answering - you guys do a great support job!

Now everything’s working perfect so far. At the moment we do not have any further tasks concerning focus and/or activate special ribbon items. But in the future, who knows ... ;-)

Greetings from Germany,

This is performed in the same way for ribbon bar and for toolbar controls because the ribbons are very extended customizable toolbars. You should use the CExtToolControlBar::CommandToIndex() method to find button index by its command identifier. The ribbon bar keeps created the toolbar buttons for the selected ribbon page only. So, if your text field button is not displayed, then the CExtToolControlBar::CommandToIndex() method will return -1. Then you should use the CExtToolControlBar::GetButton() method to get the CExtBarButton pointer of your text field button. Then you should use the DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST or STATIC_DOWNCAST preprocessor functions to get the CExtBarTextFieldButton pointer. Then you should invoke the CExtBarTextFieldButton::OnInplaceControlRun() method to start the editor in your button.

Hello.

Hi,

I have tried to make an application which uses resource dlls and I’d like to switch them during runtime. It works but sometimes the menu opened from a ribbon bar button does not close and forces application to terminate.

I am looking in a way to terminate the menu before the language is switched. Calling the DestroyMenu seems to work just sometimes. If I add a delay it seems to work better - but do not want user to wait seconds for the swich. I just cant seem to find a way...

void TestApp::ChangeLanguage (UINT nID)
{
    CMenu * m = */this->m_wndRibbonBar.DestroyWindow();
    if (m) m->DestroyMenu();
    this->m_wndRibbonBar.EnableWindow(FALSE);

Sleep (5000); // with this delay it works better

    int selectLanguage = nID - ID_MENUITEMLANGUAGE1;
    std::list<TACLanguageDll> listing = TACLanguageHandler::GetLanguageList();

    std::list<TACLanguageDll>::iterator it = listing.begin();

    for (int i = 0; i < selectLanguage; i++) it++;

    TACLanguageHandler::SwitchLanguage(((DCSLanguageDll)*it).languageName);

    ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    // update all controls on the main frame so the language specs are applied
    ReCreateFrame();

    ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    /// update other controls
    m_pWndView->UpdateLanguageControls();
}

Hi,

I have asked for header & footer in CExtReportGridWnd class. And you told me that it required so much modification to implement & you will consider this in future. So have you implemented for Header & Footer?

Regards,

Hi,

Can you provide me the sample application, which can guide how to use it?

Thanks for your kindly support.

There is a new CRect m_rcPageMarginsHM; property in the CExtPPVW_Printable class in Prof-UIS 2.85. It contains page margins in MM_HIMETRIC units. It’s possible to use this property for reserving space at top/bottom side of each printed/previewed page. The CExtPPVW_Printable::OnPrepareDC() virtual method can be overridden for painting into reserved page areas.

Hi,

I am waiting for your reply.

We are sorry, but we would like to ask you to let us finish current grid improvements for the next Prof-UIS release. This will allow us to code such custom printing sample project faster.

Hi,

Ok fine. But please let me know as you done with this.

 

Hi.

CExtDvnTabControlBar or CExtControlBar have two buttons. one is auto hide button and another is a close button("x")

Can i get(catch) the event when i click the close button("x") in the CExtDvnTabControlBar or CExtControlBar.

thanks.

 

 

Hello sir,
I Set PNG file in toolbar button.But if I open and close my project repeatedly then it blurs icons of that toolbar button.here I am giving steps of setting PNG file in toolbar button in my project.
1.I have overriden OnCustomizationTreeNode() function.
2.I am adding Browse Menu to customize context menu(Icon palette) of icons.Through that menu Item I am setting PNG file path.
3.Then bmp.LoadPNGFile("file path");
4. bmp.CreateHICON();
5.Then assign icon to toolbar buuton.
It sets PNG file in button properly.But If I repeatedly open & close project then it blurs that icon.The same case occurs with bmp files also.


Waiting for your early reply.
Trupti

Could you modify some of our very simple sample projects like SDI or MDI, add your PNG loading code into it and exactly the same PNG image which blurs in your project and send this modified sample project to us?

Please try to avoid using HICON handles everywhere it’s possible. We have the CExtBitmap class in Prof-UIS. It provides support for images with alpha channel and per-pixel transparency even if your application is running on Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0. It’s handle less. It’s much better than HICON handles. The CExtCmdIcon class is just container for four CExtBitmap objects representing the normal, hovered, pressed and disabled icon images. But you need to initialize only the CExtCmdIcon::m_bmpNormal property representing icon image in the normal state. You can assign this property directly from the loaded PNG bitmap. I.e. You can simply assign one CExtBitmap object to other without creating any HICON handles.

Hi expert, how could i get the base color (RGB value) of our prof-uis project when we change the theme from clicking theme toolbar button? for example, the office2007 Release2 base color is GRB(191,219,255). and the Office XP / Visual Studio.NET base color is RGB(239,237,222). I want to get this value when the theme changed. How to do this? Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Could you provide more details? What is your printer? Where can we download its driver? Does the problem occur when you try to print out using a Prof-UIS sample application? Will you show the call stack when the app crashes?

Hi,

My printer is "PDF writer" & "MS XPS writer". No the problem does not occure when I try with prof-uis sample application. It’s working fine with it. What exactly happening is, when I click on print button which is on printing toolbar of printpreview at the upperside, a dialog is opened for specifing the name & location of file. If I click on any of the button of this dialog, my application getting hangup.

Please try not to print parts of your grid window. Try not to insert some of columns and find the configuration when the problem does not occur. We suspect you have some picture cells and the printer driver does not like the bitmap format of the images in these picture cells.

Hi,

No there isn’t any picture cell, I tried as you said but it’s still not working.

Will you provide a test project that reproduces this crash so that we can help you more efficiently?

Hi,

Well i have tested this in different system, and i found that it’s not crashing in that system.

Hi,

Hi,

hi experts, I have two questions about CExtControBar, thanks for your help.

   1. I have more than three controlbars with style of CBRS_ALIGN_ANY in MDI project. The controlbars may be docked to any border of the mainframe or docked to each other, so they accupy some rects of the mainframe clientrect and I want to get the rest rect of the clientrect for othe childviews to align. So does prof-UIS have a function to get the rect  I want?

   2. if we do have the function to get the rest of the clientrect, when I change the docked state, I mean if i change the controlbar’s state from floating to docked to the borader or from docked to the border to floating state, I have to recalculate the rest of the client rect and reposition all the childviews, So what event can I use when the controlbar docked state changes?and then I will add the recalculate rect code there.

Thanks very much for your help!

Hi experts, Thanks for your reply. I just tested the code of your suggestions 1)a and 1)b. But it seems something wrong with both two methods. I only add the function below to MDI sample downloaded from your website and set breakpoint to trace the rc value. if no bar is docked to the top of the client area, the rc.top value after this->RepositionBars is 83(it should be 0,isn’t it?why we get this value 83?). if we dock bar at the top of the client area ,the value will be strange if the top docked bar’s heigth is different.

thanks again for your help, i’m just waiting online to here your new suggestion.

void CMainFrame::OnTesthereTestmenuitem()
{
 CRect rc;
 this->GetClientRect( &rc );
 this->RepositionBars( 0, 0xFFFF, AFX_IDW_PANE_FIRST, CWnd::reposQuery, &rc, &rc );
/* 
 CRect rc;
 this->GetDlgItem( AFX_IDW_PANE_FIRST )->GetWindowRect( &rc );
 this->ScreenToClient( &rc );
*/
}

We suspect some of bars were hidden with the delayed layout recalculation before your invoked the code we suggest in our previous answer. Please try to invoke the pMainFrame->RecalcLayout(); line of code first, and then invoke code 1a or 1b. Of course, if there are no bars at top, then the RECT::top property should be zero. Please also note, the auto-hide area with grouped tabs and the MDI tabs control are also allocating required space inside the main frame window like control bars do.

Hi.

I am using 2.82 version and want to hide(show) the caption bar dinamically in my application based on the Frame.

 

In 2.54 version, The following code works fine.

but, 2.82 is not working.

 

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

int nStyle;

nStyle = GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE);

nStyle &= ~WS_CAPTION;

SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE, nStyle);

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

 

thanks.

Thanks.

My application has a specification that named "Full Screen". It is diffrent your Full screen.

This spec. supports a full view without any UI (Toolbar, Menubar, even Title bar) and the boundary of full screen is an application.

I am using a CExtPaintManagerOffice2007_R2_Obsidian theme which is based on the skined window non client area probably.

 

The themes with skinned window non client areas currently do not support caption hiding. We can regard your message as a feature request. It would be interesting to know more details about your task. Why do you need to hide the window caption? A captionless window may confuse your users.

Thanks.

Our implementation simply moves the main frame window into the location when its caption is outside the screen area. Most of the known to us application with the full screen mode support does the same. Why this approach is not acceptable for you?

hello.

I made MDI windows program. 

Like this :

class CChildFrame : public CMDIChildWnd

{

    CExtControlBar  m_wndSystemLog;

    CSystemLogView  m_SystemLogView;

    ....



    int CChildFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)

    {

         ....

         if( !m_wndSystemLog.Create( _T("System Log"), this, ID_VIEW_CHILDFRAME_BAR_0 )

         || !m_SystemLogView.Create( "SystemLog", "System Log", WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE, CRect( 0, 0, 10, 10 ), &m_wndSystemLog, UINT    ( IDC_STATIC ) )  )

        {

            TRACE0("Failed to create m_wndSystemLog\n");

            return -1;  // fail to create

         } 

        m_wndSystemLog.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);

        m_wndSystemLog.DockControlBar( AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_BOTTOM, 2 );   

        ....

    }

}

.....

class CSystemLogView : public CWnd

{

     CRichEditCtrl m_reEdit;

     .....

}

SystemLog Wnd is displaying Log in CRichEdit. 

After several hour, no respond my app. no display UI. CPU usage 100%.
